Takeshi had been stalking his prey for what seemed like hours where she stepped the Uchiha had stepped, he moved with her unseen like he had replaced her shadow. The ANBU Sennin was given the information on the women early today, she has a missing ninja from Sand responsible for many murders in her homeland and not a target to underestimate which was why Takeshi had decided to handle this one personally. He stood on the lip of the roof below her she walked the street winding and weaving passed civilians and other Ninja’s all of them blissfully unaware of the monster that we amongst them, his red sharrigan tainted eyes narrowed behind his mask as he looked down on her waiting for the prefect chance to strike.
“But she is already killed ANBU from other villages” The female spoke out in protest, but she knew it was ultimately pointless.
“Exactly which is why I am going alone,”
“I still think you are being stupid but I know that there is nothing I can do to stop you. At least take someone with you,”
“No, I am not going to risk the lives of my men just to keep you happy”
The events of this morning played back in his head, he hated leaving her after a fight, the both knew that any mission would be their last but he wasn’t sure if he was being the stubborn one or her on this occasion but the thought of not mending the bridges before he left was still playing on his mind however he knew that he had more important things to focus on, she would be even more pissed if he had gotten himself killed from not paying attention the losing in a fair fight. From his perch he saw his mark disappearing into the tavern “Damn it” He curse to himself knowing that this had just gotten a hell of a lot harder. He made his way silently from his outcrop on the roofs of the village to street level Takeshi knew that her being around others have just turned this from a relatively easy assassination to a powder keg. Standing in front of the door the tavern Takeshi knew that he couldn’t enter in full ANBU gear it would alert far too many eyebrows and will almost definitely alert her, nor could he enter wearing his own face. With little to no other choice Takeshi transformed himself into the most generic person that he could think of lucky the streets were quiet enough to get away with doing it so openly, he put his hands on the door handle hear the rabble from through the door he pushed it down and entered the building.
The noise was the first this that hit the male it was a cacophony of dozens of voices all talking at once some louder than the others but each of the carry the slurred harmonies that came with having too much to drink, the second was the smell it was a heady mixture of strong liquor and sweaty bodies, neither of them particularly pleasant on their own together it was almost unbearable. The Uchiha had been in far worse places than this on his travels, he looked around the room trying to get eyes back on the female that he was pursuing, lucky for him was she making herself comfortable at the bar. He pushed his way through the numerous numbers of small crowds and headed in her direction, he could see that a small group as starting to gather around the female probably cause in a bar full of men as she the most beautiful in the room that paired with drink made them think that they stood a chance. Takeshi snuck in pass the group taking a seat little further down the bar from his target it was almost the prefect location and caught the attention of the barman
“Whiskey please” The man didn’t verbally respond he just nodded and got a glass from under the bar and pour the clear brown liquid into it.
Takeshi sipped it and studied her out the corner of his eye. She was pretty, there was no denying that, in fact he was almost sure that is what she used as her chief weapon from the reports that he had read. She was slender but was curved in the right places and carried herself with the confidence that she knew she had every man in the room looking at her. She had hip length teal hair with a fringe that came down and covered over nearly half her face. The other side was set with a strike emerald eyes, they looked soft and kind, she had a face that was far too innocent for the crimes that she had committed.
“Hi Sweetie, haven’t seen you around her before, what’s ya name,” One of the less sober men of the group had finally decided to stop gawking at her and speak to her. The women giggled a sweet giggle acting a lot coyer then she was.
“Kyoko, and I am new around here, I was hoping that I could find someone to help show me around. I don’t like sightseeing on my own” Kyoko played it her part perfectly, it would have good enough to fool even Takeshi if he wasn’t already privy to her modus operandi she had even thrown in a pout for good measure.
“Well Kyoko, I’m Juno we can’t have that can we Eta,” The first man spoke again putting his arm around her slender frame.
“No, we can’t, it would be a shame to see a pretty thing like you have to go sightseeing alone.” One of his buddies decided to join the conversation, leaning himself over the bar in front of her almost blocking Takeshi line of sight.
“Oh that would be so kind of you, how will I even repay you?” If the women hadn’t be become a ninja Takeshi could have seen a glittering career in acting from her, she was wrapping the men around her finger. It would have been amusing to watch apart from Takeshi knew just how deadly she was and they were probably all on their way of getting themselves killed.
“How about you let us buy you a drink?” Juno, who was considerable fatter than his tall thin companion, winked at Eta. In any normally situation these two would have been the predators but they just didn’t know that they were dealing with a praying mantis.
“Well, sure,”
“Barkeep a Sake of the lovely lady,” Eta shouted over the bar, it didn’t take long for the drink to be delivered and for the men to get it down Kyoko throat.
The ANBU turned his attention from them, he was trying to decided what she was hoping to gain from all of this. Neither of them were particularly rich as they would have nothing worth stealing, nor did they have any influences over anything in the village. He looked over the case in his mind thinking of her past victims before she ran from her village, all of them where male with nothing outstanding or fantastic about them, the where just ordinary men. He remembered the sites that the bodies were found nearly always near a public area, he suddenly had a lightbulb moment. She didn’t choose her victims, they got themselves chosen and he was certain that they were going to be next.
“How about we blow this place, I know a great place for a night time walk,” Juno was swaying a little from the amount that he had to drink.
“Sure, let’s go,” Kyoko stood up wrapping her arm around the mans, getting herself nice and close to him pretending to be a lot more drunk then she was. Takeshi waited until they had walked out the door, he placed the yen for his drink on the bar and slipped away like he was never there.
The three stumbled through the streets seemly unware of the man that was hunting their female companion as well as the danger that they were in. Takeshi had reformed back to his ANBU gear and had taken to the roofs again leaping silently across them like a cat, it didn’t seem like Juno and his pal Eta where leading her anymore she had taken control, she picked up the pace twisting and turning them through the street until she had found the place that she was looking for. A quiet place that she could carry out the deed.
“I’m sorry boys but we are going to have to put a hold on that tour,” Her voice had changed, a fact that the two men had picked up on.
“Oh, I don’t think so!” Juno moved to try and grab the female, as if she vaporized completely his arms met thin air. Kyoko appeared behind him stabbing him in the back of the neck with a kunai, grabbing his neck and falling to the ground the female laughed manically as the fat man bleed out. By this point Eta had been sense and had long gone.
“You can come out now ANBU, now that you have spoiled my fun!” She spun around looking for Takeshi “I know you are here, you have been following me all day!” The male sighed knowing that the element of surprise had all but gone, but he still had the high ground. Summoning a fist full of lighting Takeshi sending a bright bolt of white down on the female. The speed made in almost impossible to Kyoko to dodge the bolt as it impacted with her body the force sent her backwards her body colliding with wall behind her.
The Uchiha jumped down from the roof landing a few feet in front of the female, he could see that the innocent façade has been shattered her face was twisted with rage and insanity.
“You are not leaving here alive,” Takeshi spoke to her as she got back on her feet.
“You are nothing ANBU, I will crush you!” Kyoko ran towards him pulling the blood of the man that she had killed and forming it into a whip, the crack and slashed towards the male. Takeshi grinned behind his mask pulling in the atmosphere around his sending a pulse from him outwards, the female felt the gravity change around her. Jumping up into the air she avoids the pulse her whip cracked into the Uchiha’s spin. He could feel the sting of it slashing into his skin he took a deep intake of breath he focused his mind blocking out the pain from the sensation. Kyoko grinned as she watched Takehi’s face contorted in pain. “There is nothing more gratifying to see a man in pain,” She grinned allowing the blood that pulled from Juno’s corpse, Kyoko manipulated the liquid forming it into large claws. Taking to her feet she flew herself to wards Takeshi slashing at him wildly, he did his best to avoid these however, he was caught a few times each slash made him feel weaker.
“Enough playing.” Takeshi summoned the very night around him, shaping and morphing it into a large dragon like mass. The creature taking life independently it turned its attention to the female it opened in mother coating the female in black flames, she howled and screamed in pain as the flames engulfed her body.
The male turned his face away as the smell of burning flesh filled his nose as the creature assaulted the female a second’s time till al was left was the sound of the roaring fire. As seamlessly as the monstrosity appeared in had faded away again leaving only the charred remains on the women that as once Kyoko. He looked over corpse wanting to make sure that it was the last time he would have to be dealing with her, Takeshi confirmed that she was definitely on longer in the world of the living. He sighed standing up right, everything ached and his body was still feeling weak from the attack she had bombarded with, he pulled out a blackbook and jotted something down.
“One more off my list” He spoked to himself before leaving the area.
