Boss, are you okay? one of Reigi's men asked, breathing heavily
Yeah… I'm fine, Reigi replied, brushing dust off his suit
But boss we should have killed him, now he's gone.
Don't worry, Reigi said, voice low. We will get the money somehow.
He paused and looked around at the hallway they just fought
We were lucky though, he continued. He wasn't in the best shape, he was tired, not prepared and beaten up, If he was at his full strength Reigi held his jaw rubbing it. There is a reason they call him the Ghost, I can't stand him but yet i was able to fight him like an equal, and that's only because he wasn't serious.
One of the men looked down at the blood stained floor. But boss we lost some of our men tonight.
I know,Reigi said, his voice softer now. But I didn't feel like killing him.
The group went silent, each one of them lost in their own thoughts
Then slowly, they helped Reigi up and moved around to clean the mess.
Kazuki stumbled down a street holding his bleeding side, until he reached an apartment with an iron door.
He knocked and a metal slot slid open.
A pair of eyes stared. "K-Kazuki?!"
The door swung wide.a man who was skinny small compared to kazuki with a blonde hair grabbed him, pulling his arm over his shoulder. Damn man, are you okay you are bleeding too much.
He helped Kazuki onto a metal table, like an operating bed.
Razor patch me up real fast, Kazuki said, gritting his teeth.
Razor wasn't just anyone he was an old friend to kazuki and treated Kazuki whenever he was messed up bad, he was also part of the assassin system.
One hour later
Kazuki slowly sat up, groaning his body ached all over.
Oui! You are awake, Razor said. Mind telling me what the hell happened? I have never seen you this messed up for a long time now
Kazuki shook his head Nothing to worry about I just need a bath, some clean clothes and painkillers.
Razor shrugged, You know where everything is so get going
Kazuki got up, his movements slow but sharp after a few minutes, he stepped out from the bathroom, he wore a dark ash shirt which hugged his form, simple but sharp with black pants, and a black shoe, and his messy black hair were so clean and good that it brought out his face. He looked like a shadow with a handsome face a figure any woman would die for.
Without a word, he crossed the room, grabbed a pistol with a silencer, slid it into his pants then strapped on a blade not a full sword, but something between a dagger and a short sword.
He downed some painkillers and walked out.
Moments Later
The street was quiet and a little dark, Cars were parked on both sides like a parking lot.
Then
SWOOSH!
A bullet flew at his face
Kazuki's eyes widened, but his body reacted at once
CLANG!
He slashed the bullet with his blade! It flew off and hit the floor
He jumped back and crouched down his eyes searching fast
Where?
Then, he heard it.
BOOM... BOOM... BOOM...
Heavy footsteps, like something big was coming, be saw a figure almost like a giant
From behind one of the parked trucks he came out.
Built like a tank, Boulder carried a giant wooden weapon almost his size it had some iron attached to it, one direct hit and you are cooked.
[Codename: Boulder / assassin No. 15.]
Boulder didn't utter a word, he just lifted the stick onto his shoulder and stared at Kazuki
Then…
Boulder charged.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!
Each step shook the ground.
Kazuki dashed to the side just in time
SWOOSH—CRASH!!
Boulder swung the stick, and it smashed into a parked car, The car flipped over and rolled
Kazuki slashed at Boulders leg It hit, but Boulder didn't even flinch.
Kazuki jumped back, Tuff
Boulder charged again, faster this time but his movement was sloppy and precise
Kazuki blocked the swing with his blade but it sent him flying back, crashing into a van.
BAM!
Kazuki groaned.
He rolled and stood up boulder came again.
Kazuki ducked under the stick and sliced Boulder's side blood came out but Boulder didn't stop
Kazuki tried to shoot him but boulder kicked the gun from his hand with his leg.
He swung again WHOOOSH!
Kazuki bent backward like a flip, the stick missing his nose by an inch.
He spun and kicked Boulder in the back, It made him stumble a bit but still wasn't enough
But then Boulder turned around and punched Kazuki in the chest.
BAM!
Kazuki flew into a car breaking the glass of the car.
"Agh…!"
He coughed and spat blood but he still stood up.
His blade was glowing under the streetlight.
Still weak for a big guy. Kazuki said while breathing hard.
Boulder didn't answer.
Instead, he charged again.
Kazuki saw it coming and he ran toward Boulder this time, dodged low, and slashed his knee again.
Boulder growled.
Then—CRACK!
Boulder slammed the stick down, Kazuki dodged but his blade flew out of his hand and hit the ground far away.
Kazuki stared
Boulder grinned.
Then raised the stick again for a full swing
But Kazuki rolled and ran, heading toward his pistol that was also knocked away earlier.
He dove, grabbed it, spun around and then
BANG!
The bullet hit Boulder's hand and blood splashed.
Boulder yelled for the first time
The stick dropped from his hand and hit the ground.
THUD!
Kazuki didn't waste time.
Boulder rushed in and kicked the gun again kazuki ran and picked up his short blade.
But then Boulder took out a blade too, Not as short as Kazuki's, but not long either It looked heavy.
They both stared at each other
Then
CLANG!
They moved in the blink of an eye as they charged at each other.
BAM! CLANG! WHACK!
Their blades crashed as they hit continuously, sparks flew. Kazuki moved fast, slashing and dodging, Boulder swung slow but powerful, One wrong move and Kazuki would lose his head.
Kazuki kicked him in the leg and stabbed him in the arm.
Boulder groaned.
He slashed wildly, and Kazuki ducked, rolled under his legs and stabbed upward into Boulder's back
But Boulder grabbed Kazuki by the neck and threw him into a car
CRASH!
another broken car
Kazuki fell, gasping for air like he was deprived of it, blood all over his mouth.
But he still got up
He dropped the blade
Boulder dropped his too
Now it was fists
~If your enemy lowers his weapon you have to lower yours making it a fair fight~
Kazuki punched first left, right and elbow
Boulder blocked one, but got hit by the elbow.
He swung his huge arm and punched Kazuki in the gut BAM!
Kazuki coughed and punched back in the face.
Then a kick to the knee
Another punch followed
Boulder grabbed him and tried to slam him, but Kazuki elbowed his face and dropped down.
He spun around and kicked Boulder in the chest.
Boulder fell back against a car, Kazuki jumped on him and started punching fast.
BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM!
Then
Kazuki's knee hit Boulder's face.
CRACK!
Boulder fell, blood dripping from his nose
Kazuki stood over him, panting hard, blood on his face and his hands were not in a good shape
He pointed the gun at Boulder's head.
"Tell me… how did you find me?"
Boulder was coughing, his arm looked broken, he was trying to breathe.
Kazuki aimed closer, You talk, I let you live.
Boulder grunted, Then said Razor, finally speaking
Kazuki blinked. "What?"
He gave you away I already sent your location to others in case I dont make it
Kazuki's hand trembled.
You're lying
I am not Razor told me, for sometime now we have been working together
Kazuki looked down at him.
You said if I talked, you'd let me live Boulder said, breathing fast.
Kazuki didn't say anything for a second
Then BANG
He shot Boulder in the head
Blood splashed on the ground
Kazuki stood still.
"I lied." he said with an unpleasant grin
He stepped back, breathing hard.
Looked around the dark street.
Silence again.
He put the gun away, Picked up his blade, Wiped the blood from his mouth and then continued his journey
Razor he said, his voice wasn't angry,It was cold.
Dead cold.
