You are going to die.
One o'clock in the afternoon ticked on the clock just as three quick raps on the door sounded. The maid entered the study Light Nostrade was currently in and slipped a blank, white paper which was folded into two. Light Nostrade peeked out from his book and picked up the mysterious letter. He checked it's front and back- but there were no indications as to whom the sender was. No name, no address, no anything. Unfolding the letter, Light felt as if a stake had gone right through his stomach. Dread filled in his mind and cold sweat trickled down his forehead. 'Who...?' he thought, stiffening.
He crumpled the paper, threw it to the floor and step it several times. Not long after that, few maids came in the room and pick the paper away to throw it in the rubbish bin.
'There is only one person who will do something like this, that rotten pig...' Now that Kurapika is not around, he took the opportunity towards my downfall. I wont let that happen!'
He came to his senses quickly and snapped back to real life. Getting on his feet, he rushed to find Senritsu and Bashou. Expectedly, they were both standing guard outside Neon's room, as part of their jobs to protect the girl. Since Neon is happily playing card games with Eliza and the other, Light doesn't need to afraid whether will Neon bugs him and it sounds that no harm will happen at this time in the afternoon.
"Senritsu! Bashou! Come to my room, I have something important to tell you."
Bashou and Senritsu, noticing the sincere urgency in Light Nostrade's tone, nodded their heads and followed their boss to his study room.
When they have reached his room, Light order them to close the door tight and listen carefully to what he'll say because they must not fail to carry out the mission. Bashou looked excited since all he've done these days are babysitting that spoiled daughter of the one sitting in front of him right now, he've never been told to do any mission after the one when they captured one of the Genei Ryodan.
That is- Kurapika who captured it, not him.
On the other hand, Senritsu was quite worried. She was sure that his mission is tough and Light assigned this to them because Kurapika was not around. The last mission they got was so tough and she doesn't really help much, instead she heard multiples of heartbeats with the sound of grudges, envy, hate, despair...
Or... Is she thinking too much (?)
Light was still rummaging around his study, searching for something. She hadn't given it much thought though. Next to her, Bashou stood at ready, preparing himself to what Light was planning to inform them about.
KYAAAAAHHHH!
Just about when Light was about to talk, the three of them heard screams coming from Neon's room.
'Don't tell me...!'
Light was the first to exit the room, followed by Senritsu and then Bashou. The muscular brown-haired ,am was confused of what was happening, he thought that it's normal for Neon to shout when she lose a game or whatsoever.
"I wonder what are we hurrying for." he said.
"They are in danger." replied Senritsu.
"Huh? What kind of danger?"
"I don't know, but i heard their heartbeat clearly, it's like a deep sonata in bass. In short, they're afraid of something."
By the time they reached the corridor where Neon's room was located at, the screams and banging seemed louder and louder. Bashou, pumped with adrenaline, kicked the door down and dashed in.
The room was a mess, the windows' glass was broken, sofas are flipped, cards are scattered everywhere.
There's five people in the room: Light, Neon, two maids and an uninvited guest.
'Looks like this is what boss wanted to tell us earlier.' Bashou thought.
He observed the intruder, who was dressed in long jeans and a T-shirt topped with a black jacket. Weirdly. he looked more like a high schooler than a thief.
'He must be entering from the window.' he thought.
The boy sighed and jumped out through the window, he's retreating. Bashou walked towards the window, he looked through it and doesn't saw the boy anymore. He faced Neon and asked her of what had happened.
"Ba-chan. you're late! That boy just showed up in our window, he break in and asked papa. Eliza was asking him what business he had with papa but it ended up he strangling her! So I shouted and that time papa came in the room, the intruder immediately released Eliza as if he was ready to attack papa. At the same time, Ba-chan and Sen-chan enterred the room so everyone is safe! Well, you both are quite late!" said Neon.
'Who the hell is that?' thought Bashou.
"This made things easier. Senritsu, Bashou, this is what I'm going to say. This morning I received a letter no other from Zenji, looks like he hired someone to annihilate me. I guess both of you can deal with it, the one he hired could be the boy from justnow or someone else, so be careful."
"Hai." replied both Senritsu and Bashou.
'It's time to kick an ass.'
Five o'clock came, and yet the bodyguards were still tensed in their positions, steeled and anticipating whatever will come their way. Senritsu heard there's an additional heartbeat in the west side of the building and so they proceed there. The intruder was smart to know that the location of their boss' room was in the west. Good thing they have evacuate both Neon and Light to a safer place so the only one in the building are just the two of them plus the intruder, Neon has brought her maids along.
Time raced on. They headed for the west wing, their footsteps by the thick carpet. The intruder bolted out of the room, glancing right and left to find a place for him to escape to. As he ran down the hall, nobody else followed- it seemed as if there was only one intruder.
When the boy realized that they are watching him, he run to find an exit with Bashou chasing him. Senritsu didn't move an inch, Bashou told her to locate the intruder's heartbeat and tell him via communication device placed on their right ear.
When Senritsu sensed that he is near the main gate, she quickly head for the control room and closed the door, not to let the boy escape.
"He's in front of the main gate, it's all yours." said Senritsu.
"Roger." replied Bashou with a grin.
The boy looked panicked, the main gate sure is tall and huge, there's no way he could jumped that high. He could climb, but it will be a different story if the guards he met earlier will interrupt his escape. More so, his macho body may cause him a hard time to handle.
"Ah, finally. I have not beat asses these days, you have also nowhere to go. This is an open field, which is the best plot to fight." said Bashou as he walked out from the main door. he is ready for any attack if the main door has its door tightly held together. "Well then, why not exchanged few blows?"
The boy looked at him and didn't move an inch. "I have no reason to fight you." he finally talked.
"No reason?"
"I'm just here to annihilate Light Nostrade. If he's not here, then it's useless to fight you, I don't want to waste any energy. Now, why don't you open the gate and let me go?"
"...useless? You wont know until you try, brat!" looks like Bashou has taken his words seriously and he's pissed.
Out of his pocket, he withdrew a piece of paper. He quickly wrote a haiku on it. Seconds later, the paper lit up in blazing fire. It blazed up behind the terrified boy, engulfing him completely- he was on fire! Unable to dodge or fight back, he shouted in pain. It lasted on for a few minutes before his presence completely crash and burned.
They have accomplish their mission.
Bashou have finished the boy before he even show his strength.
"Oh well, he really piss me off, can't help it."
Right, he missed the important information.
Without asking who sent him here, where's his comrades, what's their plans and things like that, the boy was dead. Light Nostrade told them that the one behind all these was Zenji, but this can be someone else.
'Matters are accomplished before I even realized it. At least, the mission is a success. Now then, I'm curious whether the boy is a hunter. If he died, his name will be listed in the dead lists.'
With much curiousity, Bashou walked towards the information room he turned on one of the computer and go through the hunter website. Usually, the complete information of the hunter, including the picture, are posted, so even if he doesn't know his name, Bashou could still recognize him through his picture
He scrolled down to search for the boy but could find none. 'I'm sure he's dead, or maybe he's not a hunter.'
As Bashou kept on looking, he scrolled paast more photos of applicants. His eyes caught a familiar muss of blonde hair and stopped, dead shocked.
Applicant 404
Batch 2010
Kurapika
DEAD
Kurapika had gone unconscious as soon as he gone wild and the spiders has left the museum. When they reached their hideout, the leader ordered them to go to their respective rooms without asking any question.
As usual, the members listened to what their leader said and didn't utter a single word. Kuroro carried the unconscious kuruta to his room, he was amazed by what he did there, it's really beyond his expectation. But at the same time, he was quite irritated. It's the first time that he failed.
The members had an occasional knowledge: there was always, always someone who whined or complained once the mission had ended. Even if they were issued he order to head into their individual rooms it would only encourage this certain people to grumble louder.
"What's with Danchou?! We went back from the mission successfully, why are everyone so gloomy!"
"It's not everyone, but only Danchou. Calm down, Nobunaga." said Shalnark, who shared the same room with Nobunaga.
"Okay then! Why did he look so gloomy? We accomplished the mission successfully! Argh! I can't understand him!" shouted Nobunaga as he burst.
"Actually, we can't say it's a success..."
"What do you mean with that, Shal?"
"Remember when the blonde passed out after he've gone wild? Danchou carried him then the three of us head to where the gem are, while all of you are busy with dealing with the guards."
"Yes! I remember. And not long after that Danchou order us to retreat as usual. Why is that? Is it so that we wont waste our time with the guards?"
"You could also say that. But at that time reporters are coming along with polices, there's a possibility Danchou doesn't want the kuruta to be noticed, or ... perhaps they had."
Nobunaga got confused by what Shalnark said. "So why do you said this mission is not successful?"
"When Danchou and I reached the room where the gem is located, it's empty."
"W-what?!" Nobonaga shout could even be heard by people staying five room ahead from theirs'.
"The gem is not there."
