Chapter 7
Its been a week since I had that encounter with Tamaki and my leg has finally healed completely. I have finished going through all the files that I had received from Tatsumi, out of the 57 files there are 23 that could be my brother. I have finished my training and are able to go on mission with Tatsumi and his team. My first mission is tomorrow afternoon, we are going to assist as back up for one of the assault teams. The assault team is going to be attack one of the smaller slavery's, if everything goes to plan we will be able to free the marked in a little under three hours.
I am headed down a hall, on my way to a meeting for all members going on the mission tomorrow afternoon. I turned the corner and went through the door to the right. There were already around 20 people seated in the large meeting room, there were about 35 to 40 people going.
To the right was a large screen placed on the wall. There are 5 rows of seats with around 15 seat in each. Each row of seats rises a little higher, the first row being the lowest and the last row being the highest. the seats were black and comfortably cushioned with a slim wooden bench that runs all the way along each row of chairs, being about 50cm wide. A set of dark red covered steps are on each side of the rows of chairs, the same dark red covers the rest of the floor.
I walked over to the second last row and took the second seat alone.
"Hey, Rin!"Tamaki called as he walked through the entrance and up the steps to the row I was siting in.
"Hey, whats up."
"Not much, just preparing for the mission tomorrow. What about you?"he replied as he took the seat to my right.
"Were are your friends?"
"Their not going on this mission"
The screen on the wall changed to a floor plan of a building. An older man with gray hair and glasses with a crosses hanging from each side, walked on to the stage. He addressed everyone, stating his name to be Shiro Fujimoto and began talking about the mission processors.
Having gave everyone a copy of the floor plan to the building we will be attacking, he marked all the places with security cameras and where security access is needed, along with were most of the guards will be positioned. When the meeting was over everyone one was told to go, prepare for the mission and do some training exercises.
I walked out of the meeting hall and started to walk towards my room.
"Hey, do you want to train with me?"Tamaki asked as we walked down the hall.
"Sure." I replied reluctantly, all I wanted to do was continue my search for my brother, but since I have already gone through all the files and have to train anyway way not.
So we stared walking towards the training room. We entered the elevator after swiping our ID, once we reached the correct floor we exited and walked into the training room. Their is exercise equipment on the left with a large space on the right with a padded floor for sparing. On the wall straight ahead there are a set of three doors, one lead to the males bathrooms, showers and locker rooms. The other door to the left were the female bathrooms, showers and locker rooms and the door in the middle is were equipment is stored.
We walked straight through the people sparing and exercising to the male locker rooms. I walked over to my locker, got out my change of clothing while looking around to see if there was anyone around, luckily Tamaki's locker is in another row to mine. Once I was satisfied that there wasn't anyone around I quickly changed.
I walked out of the males locker rooms to find Tamaki stretching while he was waiting for me. I walked up to him and started to stretch beside him, until we both felt we had stretched enough.
"Hey, you ready?" Tamaki asked with an excited smile on his face.
"Yup, lets go." I replied get excited myself i have always been one to us my fist.
"Don't worry I'll go easy on you." he stated with a smirk.
"Oh that's a relive." I replied with sarcasm thickly coating my words.
Tamaki leaped forward rising his right leg, planing to kick me in the ribs. I quickly duck and swept his left leg out from under him. He fell with a thump cushion by the soft floor, I jump up from my crouched position and leaped on him, pining him to the floor.
"Nice one Rin. I guess I don't need to be going easy on you then." he said as I jumped off him and gave him my hand to help him up. "What class are you man? Your fast!"
"Okay come on, next round. This time no holding back 'kay."
"Yeah, yeah."
This time it was me who attacked first, I ran towards him preparing to punch him hard in the jaw. He ducked, lifting his right leg to kick me, I saw it coming and quickly jumped back. As soon as my feet hit the grown Tamaki jumped in my direction readying a punch towards my head, I raised my left arm moving it to the left as soon as I felt Tamaki's fist move past the outside of my arm.
After successfully avoiding his punch I turned my left arm around, grabbed a hold of his right and swung my leg around to kick him. When I felt the impacted of my foot meeting his rib cage, I let go.
"Ouch! That was a good kick." Tamaki stated as he stood up from the ground.
"Ready for round three? I'll kick your ass again." I replied with a large grin on my face.
"Your on but I will kick your ass this time you'll see, the first to times were only warm ups."
I jumped in his direction, slightly to the right. When I landed on my feet behind him I lifted my right leg ready to kick him. Tamaki must have saw it coming for he grabbed my leg and through me a few feet away. I landed in a crouched position noticing that there was a small crowed of on lookers around 10 or so, watching with eager eyes awaiting the next clash.
I stood up from my crouch and ran towards my opponent swiftly raising my right leg to kick him. Tamaki went for a bunch as he blocked my kick with his left arm, I pushed my hand against his chest pushing both of us in opposite directions.
He quickly recovered, leaped forward and went in for a punch, I readied myself to block the punch, but at the last second he raised his leg to kick me in the ribs. I didn't have enough time to react, so all I could do was be ready for the impact. I felt his foot meet my ribs, with a bruising thud, and went crashing into the soft floor.
"Nice one." I commented on his strategy.
I got up from the floor and turned around only to see Tamaki's foot headed in my direction, but I quickly ducked, I could feel his foot grass the top on my hair, 'that was a close one.'
I went in to punch him, he caught my fist before it made any damage and returned with a kick aimed at my lower legs, I quickly jumped up over his leg. While I was still jumping up I attempted a kick, as Tamaki went for a punch, neither of us having the time to avoid the hits.
I took the punch to my lower abdomen and he took a kick to his ribs. I was pushed backwards, losing my balance causing me to fall, Tamaki also losing his balance causing him to fell to the side. As I stood up I notice there was more people watching then before there was what looked to be around 50 on lookers now.
I locked eyes with Tamaki once again, both of us impressed with the others fighting abilities. I walked over to Tamaki as he stood up "Great fight." I stated as I held my hand out to shake his.
"I'll win for shore next time you'll see." Tamaki replied as he shock my hand firmly.
We both turned and walked towards the mens changing rooms, we walked towards the showers after getting towels and new cloths from our lockers. I walked through the doors, relieved to find the it wasn't a communal shower but held around 20 shower cubicles on both the left and right.
I walked into the about the 5th cubicle to the left, closing the door and began removing my clothing. After all my cloths were removed, I started on the bandage on my arm that covered my tattoo, I stared at it for a second wishing I knew more about my origins. I turn the water on adjusting it to the right temperature and stepped under.
As the water fell and ran down my body I started to think back to when I saw that blue light, I don't think it was from the lamp like Tatsumi said. It felt like it surrounded me, protecting me, keeping me from harm. But it also felt soothing yet agitated, warm yet cool, dangerous yet safe. I wish I knew what it was, I think it has something to do with my half demon blood.
