i was re-reading the arc where sacchan loses her glasses and... yikes, got lots of stuff wrong in my previous chapters. too lazy to change stuff though, please forgive. ;u;
(gotta use no caps in author's notes. all due to the house cup. #AoGAHC13)
The fire dissipates as quickly as it ignited, and Ayame wonders if it was caused by an Amanto. The completely barren street surprises her. Everyone is too drunk to have noticed the fire, she realizes.
"You're useless!" Ayame yells at Zenzou. "What were you protecting, Mr. Extra Security? Your Jump?"
"Don't drag Shounen Jump into this, Sarutobi." He's beside her in a second. "You take the side-streets, I'll take the main ones."
"People with hemorrhoids have no right to order others around," Ayame scoffs, but starts searching Edo's side-streets anyway.
Black Cat can't have gotten far. If he did, Ayame's sure she'll catch up in no time. Building-hopping is a faster mode of transport than simply running, and Ayame likes to think she knows more about Edo's streets and hiding places than anyone else. It came with training, practice, and long hours of stalking.
Her search takes longer than expected. Ayame hadn't thought to search inside open bars or ramen shops, so she backtracks a few times. Finally, she spots plaid fabric deep in an alley's corners.
As she stands on a building's rooftop above him, she cries out, "You cannot leave once you enter the work of an assassin!"
