Part 3
“Damn it!!!!” He threw away the cell phone; anger was shown all over his reddened face.
Two men who were standing behind him could only bow down and stay quiet.
Kitagawa just got a call from his ‘client’, saying that Kazuya’s latest assignment had managed to run away with his family.
He tried to deny the fact at first; since he couldn’t believe on what he just heard.
Kitagawa has many other great ‘workers’ over the years who had served him well; but she is the best one. The one who had been ‘trained’ by him since she was just a little girl. She never fails to kill anyone on her list. But apparently, her excellent record had been tarnished. He had no idea why; but he will find out sooner or later.
“Go find Kazuya now! Search all over Tokyo; hotels, subways, airports; everywhere! Do not come back if you don’t bring her or I’ll kill you!”
The two men could only nod hesitantly; eyes full with fear. 5 minutes later, thirty men wearing the same suit quickly rushed towards the awaiting cars outside; calling every possible cell phone numbers.
“The name is Kitagawa Kazuya. Wavy red head. Yes. About 170cm of height. If you see her anywhere, just straight away call me!”
~.~
“Hey.”
She quickly turned around; startled when Jin suddenly touched her shoulder.
“Do you want anything? Hot drink perhaps?” She looked so pale; it worried him more.
“No.”
Silent.
“….A hug, then?” He tried to make a joke; chuckling for one moment, when he realized that it was totally inappropriate.
“Em. Sorry. I’ll just…go inside. Let me know if you need anything.”
Jin was about to walk towards his bedroom when suddenly, Kazuya’s warm arms hugged him from behind. He couldn’t move; or breathe for a second. A peculiar feeling; like an electric shock came struck into his brain cell.
“Don’t leave me alone. I’m afraid.” Soft sobs escaped from her mouth.
He quickly grabbed her hands; gripping them firmly. Their hug tightened.
“No, I won’t. I promise.”
Jin turned around; he wanted to see those hazel eyes again. He wanted to brush her locks; and her fear away.
But the first thing that he noticed was her pink lips.
He leaned in; capturing her lips in a quick peck.
Something that he shouldn’t do.
“What are you doing??!” Kazuya abruptly pushed him away; her eyes full of shock.
Jin didn’t quite know how to react. He does realize that kissing her is wrong; but it is not a mistake either.
“…I..”
It was too late. She had already disappear from his apartment; leaving him alone with deep, confusing thoughts.
~.~
She wandered around the park; occasionally brushing her lips with her long fingers.
What was that? She remembered being surrounded with his loving heat; they hugged for quite a long time;
Until he ruined it all with a kiss.
Why did he have to do that? This wasn’t supposed to happen. Jin shouldn’t fall for someone; or rather ‘something’ like her. She shouldn’t be loved by anyone.
I don’t deserve you. Look what had happened to the people around her; whom she loves and cares so much. They all suffer in the end. Her mother; the boy; all the voices inside her head. They began to disappear little by little.
Kazuya wouldn’t want that to happen to Jin. She begins to like him; but at the same time, she’s afraid of losing him if the feeling goes deeper than this.
I don’t want to hurt you, Jin.
The fragile looking Kazuya kept walking briskly under the thin air of dusty evening. A pair of eyes spotted her, and he immediately let out a victorious smile.
“This is Furigaki. I think I’ve found Kazuya.”
~.~
“I don’t get it.” She puffed out thick, white cloud of cigarette smoke. “You could just simply kill her; like any other disobedient assassins.”
Kitagawa narrowed his eyes; looking at the woman in disgust.
“She’s my daughter.” He said it; loud and clear.
But his words only received a mocking laugh instead.
“No. She’s not.”
“Damn it Michiko, stop talking.” He couldn’t even stand to hear her voice anymore.
The lady dressed in jet black trench coat let out a naughty smirk while scanning through several photos in her hand. She leaned in and whispered in his ears.
“She’s your mistake from the past. And now it haunts you back.”
