PART TWO – DREAMY HOPES
“Ken! You’re awake!” I said.
“Huh? Where am I? Ouch, my head,” Ken just
woke up, finding his head hurt. Ken was lying on the bed and his companions
were beside him.
“The poison has been removed from your body.
What happen?” asked Yosuke.
“Oh yeah. I was drinking with a lady then I
was taken to the back alley. Then this lady took a needle and punctured into my
neck. The next minute I knew I was dizzy and then I fell,” explained Ken.
“Diamond…” I said.
“Diamond?” asked Ken, still a bit drowsy.
“She’s the one who’s poisoned you. And also
we had found out who Teufel are,” said Yosuke.
“That’s good. Let’s go. Ugh!” said Ken.
“Doctor said that you still need to stay in
bed. We don’t even know where they are so we can stay until tomorrow morning,”
said Koyasu. “You better go back first, Yu. You still got school tomorrow.”
“Alright.” And I just left them.
Hmm… I have to meet Mikoto tonight at the
party. I wonder if I was able to attend it since troubles had arose. Damn those
Teufel! If they hadn’t appear I could have spend this holiday seasons
peacefully. I was on my way to school as usual and then I saw Mikoto on the
street. Before I could even call out her name, my house was grabbed by someone.
“No. No. No. Don’t call her name or else you
will be sorry,” the man grinned and he released his hand.
I turned around and looked… it was Jade!
Darn! I didn’t bring along my weapon and worst still I can’t just attack him on
the street with everyone around.
“What do you want?” I yelled at him.
“Patience. Patience. You don’t want the girl
to get killed, don’t you?” jade hinted me and I found that his teammate Halcon was
aiming his sniper at Mikoto on top of a tall building.
“Okay, what do you want from me?” I asked him
in a low voice.
“I want to ask you where is Shakunetsu’s
headquarter. Could you please tell me?”
“Why should I tell you?” I asked back.
“Because you have no choice,” and I saw
Halcon readied his sniper.
“I thought your companion can hack our
headquarters’ computer system? You can check from there!”
“We tried but the security system is too
tight so we were unable to hack through. Now where is it?”
“Why do you want to know where Shakunetsu is?
I thought you guys only want to challenge us?”
“You sure you want to leave your little
girlfriend to die?” he asked patiently.
“Tch! It’s at the old construction site near
the sea,”
“You better not lie to us or let’s you guys
will die. Goodbye.” And Jade just left.
Why does he want to know where Shakunetsu is?
Are they looking for something?
“Hey Yu! Good morning! What’s wrong? Your
face looks so pale,” greeted Mikoto as she approached me.
“Oh. Nothing. Hey Mikoto, tonight I might not
be coming. Sorry,” I apologized.
“You got a part time job to do?” she asked.
“Yea. Sorry. If I finished early I might even
go there so until then please wait.”
Mikoto just nodded her head happily.
“The little brat says that the headquarter is
around here,” said Jade to his companion, as they entered the construction
site.
“But I don’t see anything,” complained
Diamond.
“!!! Who’s there?” asked Jade because he
sensed something in the darkness.
The Night Assassins showed themselves from
the darkness and smiled at them.
“So you guys here eh,” said Jade calmly. “So
where is the entrance to Shakunetsu?”
“There is no entrance here,” I said. “You
guys had been fooled by a kid.”
“Looks like you guys were looking for deaths
only. Go get em,” and thus our battle commence again.
Topaz was waiting for Yosuke to approach him
but Yosuke was hiding in the darkness. Topaz stood for a while then Yosuke
finally attacked Topaz from behind! With his right kodachi sword Topaz was able
to block Yosuke’s blade but unfortunately he was stabbed by Yosuke’s left
blade. Topaz tried to counter it by stabbing Yosuke with his other kodachi
sword but Yosuke was once again retreated back to the darkness.
“Stop hiding in the darkness and fight me!”
Topaz finally lost his temper.
“Okay.”
Topaz thought that Yosuke was again behind
him so he quickly turned around and defends with his kodachi but he was wrong.
Yosuke was indeed right in front of him and Yosuke threw his blade to Topaz’s right
hand, making Topaz unable to properly stand up.
“Darn it!”
“Your defense is perfect but once you’re
unaware of it it’s useless also,” smiled Yosuke and he slashed Topaz’s back
with his only dagger.
Topaz screamed and soon he was dead.
One down, three to go.
“So you’re not dead yet, hunk?” asked
Diamond.
“Yea. Thanks to you,” and Ken took out his
claws and run towards Diamond. Ken immediately paused his movement when Diamond
threw a needle right in front of him.
“Becareful. It’s poison. Hohohoho.”
“So what? I ain’t afraid of you,” and again
Ken run towards Diamond.
No matter how Diamond tries to throw her
poison needles at Ken she was just too slow – Ken had avoided all of them.
Finally Ken was right in front of her.
Diamond backed herself until she was unable to retreat – she was trapped next
to a ceiling by Ken.
“You dare to hurt a beautiful woman?”
threatened Diamond.
“Why not? You’ve hurt me once so I guess this
is pay back,” Ken smiled evilly and thrust his claws through Diamond’s body.
Two down, two to go.
Halcon kept on shooting at Koyasu but Koyasu
avoided all his shots by simply just standing there and only moving his body.
Koyasu slowly approached Halcon by walking step by step. Halcon started to
panic so he kept on shooting but when Koyasu was almost near him, he was
finally out of bullets. He quickly searched his pockets for bullets but it has
been all used up.
Then Koyasu whispered to Halcon behind his
back, “without concentration and patience, you will never get your target.”
Then Koyasu slashed Halcon’s back with his sword.
Three down, ready to take down the leader.
Mikoto was sitting on her seat, looking at
the clock and now it’s already 11.00pm. Sayu approached her and asked, “Yu’s
not here yet?”
Mikoto just shook her head.
The party was cheery and everyone was
enjoying their Christmas party. It was the season after all.
“Why wait for that guy? He’s just only
keeping a cute girl like you waiting. Why not dance with me? He’s just an ass”
asked her boy classmate.
“You don’t understand anything!” Mikoto
slapped him.
“Okay. Okay. I’ll leave. Sheesh. Weird girl,”
the guy complained to his friend beside him.
“Please come to the party, Yu,” Mikoto hoped.
I was fighting with Jade on top of the
construction and it was difficult since the space was limited for me to move
and Jade was so hyperactive.
“What’s the matter? Miss your little
girlfriend? Hehehe,” provoked Jade.
“Why do you want to know about Shakunetsu’s
location?” I asked.
“It’s for revenge,” he said. “Little kids
like you should be sleeping now. Die!” Jade was jumping towards me.
“You’ve framed me and my teammates, hurt them
and also even tried to hurt Mikoto. I can’t forgive you!!!” Eventhough his
razor blades were small, I managed to block Jade and fling him away from the
place and he was falling to the sea.
“No!!! I will be back one day!!!” Jade yelled
and he was dropped into the sea from an eight storey high construction
building.
“Looks like Teufel’s finally done for,” I
thought. Revenge? Who is he looking for?
Mikoto was walking on the dark streets and
she was a little jealous and irritated to see hot couples doing sweet talks to
each other. In fact, she was disappointed that she had no one to accompany her
for this Christmas Eve. She escaped from the party because it was meaningless
for her to stay there any longer. As she approached the giant Christmas tree of
about three-storey high, she saw someone familiar. It was me!
She shouted my name happily and hugged me in
front of the Christmas tree.
“Why are you so late?” she cried on my chest.
“I wait and wait and wait but you never show up.”
“Gomen, Mikoto,” I apologized.
“I don’t care about you anymore!”
I grabbed her face with both my hands and
faced it to my face and I said, “Mikoto…”. Then I kissed her. Then bells
started to ring loudly and it was already 12.00am, Christmas!
“Merry Christmas!” I smiled at her.
“Merry Christmas, Yu!” she smiled but some of
her tears were still flowing.
This is the best Christmas present I ever
had.
Merry Christmas!
The next day when our units went and tried to
retrieve Teufel's dead bodies whom we killed last night, but it was gone! I got
this feeling that Teufel hasn’t died yet.
“I will be back someday, Night Assassins,”
said Jade, as he was hiding himself behind the corner while watching Yu and
Mikoto walking to school holding hands.
END OF MISSION
Done on: 23th
December 2005
Night Assassins special edition! This time I
was going to have Night Assassins having a group whom they had difficult
fighting with – Teufel! Teufel in german means ‘Devil’ and members of Teufel
are actually named after crystals! I decided to make Yu and Mikoto to be
together since they always can’t make up their mind confessing to each other.
Sheesh! Makes me irritated also. Hehe. Well, really hope you all had enjoyed!
Thanks for supporting Night Assassins! And Merry Christmas! ^^
