Contract

On January 17th, 1997, Ishimaru is visited in his castle by a woman named Junko Enoshima. She wears a satin dress that ends at her thighs and hugs her body, accenting mostly her hips, waist, and breasts. Common for an Omega. She holds a silk handkerchief in her hand and presses it to her eyes, sniffling as she speaks.

"I must ask you to kill someone for me, th-though I hate to ask such a thing...I was told you would be the man to do it for me..."

"Please, cut right to the point. I am a busy man."

"Yes, yes, of course! I need you t-to kill Mondo Oowada."

Ishimaru raises an eyebrow as Junko sniffles again. "Mondo Oowada? As in, the Mondo Oowada? That is quite the task you are requesting." Mondo Oowada, a notorious criminal, is the leader of the largest, most ruthless motorcycle gang in Japan. Ishimaru has no qualms killing him, as he is a criminal, and criminals must be punished.

"I'm willing to pay...s-so that he can pay...I want him to feel despair!"

"Yes, but how much? And I expect money, Miss Enoshima."

"I...I have seven million yen*...th-that I saved especially for this..."

Seven million yen? That's millions more than he's ever been offered to kill someone. But, he is an experienced assassin. There are still more questions he needs answered.

"I see. And when do you want this job finished?"

"Well, such a l-large task requires a l-lot of time to finish. Will six months be enough?"

"You underestimate me. I'll have it done before then." He leans back in the chair he's seated in, folding his hands neatly in front of him. "Normally, I'd request payment at the end of the job, but this requires some starting fees."

"A-alright...two million* to start out with?"

"You have a deal, Miss Enoshima."

The money exchanges hands, and Junko leaves, leaving Ishimaru to pack his bags, ready his arsenal, and think carefully about what he'll need to do. It won't be easy to take out such a notorious man; his gang is huge, after all, and someone is bound to see him killed, bound to find out. Ishimaru will just have to be careful not to leave too big of a mess. The last thing he needs is to be killed in revenge by one of Mondo's followers.

Looking at all of his trophies on the walls, and the names written underneath them, Ishimaru chooses a spot between "Masaru Nishimura" and "Minoru Saito", takes out a thick black pen, and writes "Mondo Oowada."

He is confident (too confident) in his abilities.

(*seven million yen is about $71,257.80
