Meeting the Reaper. [Completed]

[Yukki Kazuto]

Yukki awoke slowly, groggy from being able to actually sleep comfortably for once. This quickly cleared as he worked his way down the stairs to the kitchen however, as years of training and experience had forced his body to become alert quickly and constantly. That combined with his enhanced senses that he mysteriously had once he reached this place, made it near impossible to hid from him, at least in close range.


He stopped abruptly when he reached the kitchen doorway. He saw Reuben and Scarlet sitting together at the kitchen table. Not only that, they seemed to be acting nice to each other. They were having a talking about Reuben’s previous accomplishments, all his assassinations, as calmly as one might talk about the weather outside, our their favorite colors.


They came to a stop as Yukki sat down at the table with them. “Good morning.” Reuben cast a glance at him.


“We have an idea for a job.” Yukki sat up. Reuben wasted no time as he continued on, now with Yukki’s attention. “Scarlet knows a guy that might be willing to let us start doing jobs for him. Not like our old stuff sadly, we’d have to start off with small stuff, but it’s a start.”


Yukki rested his chin in his hand. “Who’s this contact?” Scarlet started typing on her PDA, obviously pleased we were considering her idea.


“Nobody knows his real name. On the streets, he goes by Reaper.” Yukki laughed a little. “Reaper? Sounds oh so threatening.” Scarlet frowned and pointed back at the PDA. “He runs an underground group of radicals. He’s always looking for new people, and might consider letting us run a few things for him, and eventually move onto the bigger stuff that you two like so much.”


Yukki frowned a little. “How do we know we can trust this guy?”

Reuben responded. “We don’t. Just like we didn’t know we could trust James, or Madison, or even you for that matter. Scarlet says that if we don’t cross him, he’ll be good enough.”


That reminded Yukki of what he had seen earlier. “Speaking of which, when did you two become buddies?”

Reuben answered with a straight face. “We’re not.”

Yukki gave a slow nod. “Uh huh… Let’s go see this ‘Reaper’, shall we?” He got up and walked out the house before getting a response.
