Meeting the Reaper. [Completed]

[Yukki Kazuto]

Yukki was halfway down the street when he felt someone grab his hoodie's sleeve. Looking down, he saw Scarlet typing on her PDA. “Reuben says that he’ll catch up to us later, and that i should go ahead and show you to the Reaper.” I nodded in understanding, and she led me down the street.

We stopped at a side alley, and used what looked like a big drain pipe to go down. From what I could tell of the distance, and what the pace looked like around me, I assumed we were in tier 5 or 6. Scarlet began walking down the streets, leaving me no real choice but to follow her. Everytime she turned, I made a mark on the corner with a piece of debris I had picked up once out of the drain pipe.


Eventually, she stopped in front of a building that seemed like every other building on the street. She walked up to the door, and put her hand out behind her, which I inferred meant for me to stay there. She knocked on the door, and it opened just a crack. She showed her PDA screen inside, at it opened wide. I followed her in as she motioned for me to.


I followed Scarlet through the building, as she led me to a back room. Everyone in the building looked like they could crush me with one hand, and stared at me as if I was nothing more than chopped liver, but Scarlet didn’t seem fazed at all. Almost made me wonder what this poor kid had been through before in her life.


She stopped slightly inside a doorway, and I stood next to her in the room. Inside the room was a group of men sitting at a poker table. Everyone of them looked like hired muscle, and we’re wearing torn leather jackets and blue jeans with chains hanging from them.

The exception seemed to be the only happy person at the table, and the person with the largest pile of money in front of them. He had a light tan, brown eyes, and shortish blue hair. He wore a black and white assassins hoodie and black pants with white highlights. That seemed to be a theme, as a lot of the decorations and other people were wearing mostly black with a little white.


He smiled at me as he started counting the money in front of him. “So, you’re the runner the our little Scarlet recommended huh?” I said nothing, as my presence there was confirmation enough in my mind. “Oh, the strong silent type huh? I like it. It suits you.” He grabbed a small bag from under his chair and threw it at me. I caught it easily.

“This needs to get to one of my boys on tier three. He’s in a building similar to this one, Scarlet knows the spot. If you succeed, come back and we’ll see about more work. If you fail… Don’t stay in coruscant much longer if you enjoy life.” He said all of this with a smile on his face.

I turned to leave. “Oh, and, one more thing.” I looked over my shoulder. “Keep your eyes out of the bag.” I turned back and walked back outside. I waited for Scarlet, who came walking out a few minutes later.

“What took you so long?” She smiled. “Oh, you know, the lecture about how if you fail, it’s my fault, i’ll get tortured for it, etc, etc… Classic stuff.” I shrugged. “So… How are we getting back to tier three with this?” I held up the bag for emphasis. “I suggest putting that bag on your back. You’re gonna need both your hands free.”
