When assassins collide (1x1 Nadoralxbryceninja)

[Nandoral]

Kuro Metsuki and Velgar Tocoitchi are complete strangers with only one thing in common. Both are assassins that roam the deadly city streets of Kintonas. Crime rates are at an all time high, and as the darkness in the hearts of people grows, so doesn't their need to spill blood. Some have it in them to handle the task with their own hands, but most rely on the work of creatures who's names are known by few yet the stories of what they've done are known by many. Some call upon their aid because they haven't the ability to do it themselves, other just don't want to dirty their own hands. for one crime lord though, the reason was much different. He knew he had many enemies and that they would eventually call on the assassins to get rid of him, so he tried to stay one step ahead. In his wicked mind he came up with a plan, a plan that he hoped would get rid of one his biggest oppositions as well as thin out the number of people sent to kill him. Secretly, he sent out a request to two assassins, asking that they accept a job from him that would pay big. The catch? Neither one knew the other was hired, nor did they know that others would be sent to claim their lives once the given job was completed. The twisted man's sceme was simple, have the assassins kill as many of each other as they could while also killing his bigest threat. Will this plan work, and does he really think he can so easily fool two of the greatest killers that the city has ever know? Will Velgar and Kuro actually kill each other, or do they have more in common than just a profession? Only time will tell as the story unfolds.

Information on employer: He is the corrupted govover of the city who is responsible for most the crimes. In order to protect his image and not sully his own hands, he has asked two assassins to deal with a problem for him. He met with both of them, though at seperate times. In the end, he hopes that one or both will be killed in the process.

Inforation on target: Not much was given other than a description, name, and last known where abouts. He is a 6'7" anthro grey wolf who goes by the name of Galdin. His last known location was an abandoned ware house on the east side of town, but that information is three months old, and he has since fallen off the grid. (What you don't know: Galdin is the leader of a reble group that has been trying to show the city what their govoner really is. When peaceful acts failed, he and his small group became more agressive, trying to kill the Govoner in hopes that it would be enough to save the city. Though his actions may not be pure, his intentions are.)

Bio: Not much is known about Kuro's past, and she doesn't talk about it much. There are a hand full of people who know her story, and if ever they let it slip, they would tell you that she was born into a family of assassins, and was trained in the art from the time she was old enough to walk. as the years came and went, her training became more intense untill her father desided she was ready for her first bounty. She passed his test with flying colors, but felt horible about it. The woman had been an inoccent being whose death was only asked for because she owed the wrong kind of people too much money. After that day, Kuro left her family and made a vow that she would only take the lives of those sho truely deserved death.

Under the stars and moon of the night, the city of Kintonas was busy as usual, the bustling footsteps of its inhabitants echoing off the buildings and down the ally ways. It was a night like any other, where ill deeds were on the minds of most. Cheating spouses were sneaking to their lovers homes, addicts endulged in their vices, prostitutes waited at corners for new clients, and those were only the minor crimes that would take place. Amoung all the coruption, their was one being who walked the littered streets, her figure covered by a large leather trench, her face obscured by the hood she wore. This was Kuro Metsuki, an assassin trying to find a lead. She had been hired earlier that day to handle a target for a nameless payer. Though little information had been given up front about that person she was to find, the young tigress was well trained in her profession and knew how to use all her assets. They would be the key to finding a more solid lead as she made her way to a bar that she knew would be filled with gossip.

Velgar's large bulk walked down the main streets of the city, some hurrying past, some attempting to sell him Narcotics. Prostitutes placed their slutty hands on his chest in an attempt to engage him in sex, but Velgar, for many things he was, he was not that type of Guy. He was well known in this city, not for his killing of people who were contracted, but for the killing of Rapists, certain rip-off artists, and assholes who hit their wives.

After a short while, he stopped off at a local Pub called The Hanging door, and sat in the back corner. He held up a finger, and almost immediately a beer and a shot of liquor were in front of him. Taking the shot first tee, he sipped slowly on his beer. This was one of those places that gathering info was a cinch, for the right price.

Kuro reached her destination, a pub called the Hanging Door. It was a hot spot for late night drinkers and bar hoppers, but more importantly, assassins like herself. Granted, what they really were wasn't known by most people, but she wasn't most people. Give nay of them enough to drink, and even the tightest grips on information will lossen. That was her plan going in. find those that looked drunk enough to spill every little secret they have, if they had any worth her while. Walking in, Kuro scanned the area with unseen eyes. The place was already crowded, despite how young the night was. She took note of three people, not including the bartender, who she knew were assassins. She would talk to them later to see if they knew anything. Her focus right now were the comon people who;s minds were more easy to envade. Taking a seat at the bar, Kuro ordered a mix drink of Mt.Dew and spiced rum. She just simply sat there, her amythist eyes looking over everyone and everything, her hears listening for the slightest him of a good lead.

After an hour, he had gotten his tip. A man named Alex, had witnessed the Mark, enter a Brothel about 50 yards down the street, not even thirty minutes ago. Velgar slid a large wad of paper under the table, all with the $$ sign on them, and headed for the door. Now it was his job to track the mans movements. Alex wouldn't be giving up this info to anyone, unless they paid a price higher than 1000$$, that is.

A decent amount of time passed, during which Kuro listened in carefully to anything that would give her a lead. Her ears perked when she caught onto a conversation that was almost too good to be true. Someone else had enquired about the same target she was commisioned to exterinate, and the man he spoke to gave him a fresh lead. It was the lead she was saiting for. even better, she didn't have to exchange cash for her information. She did wonder though, why was the other assassin going after the same mark as herself? The reason didn't really matter to her. the only thing that she cared about was making sure the job was done by her hands and not someone elses. Standing, Kuro downed the last of her drink then headed out the door. She ended up walking past the man who had given the information, and dropped a roll of $500 onto his table as she walked by. The man stared at her in bewilderment, but couldn't get a word out before she was out the door. Knowing where she now needed to go, Kuro took shortcuts to get to the brothel, hopefully before the mark left. She knew that if she took the front enterance, she'd be stopped and asked to pay a cover fee just to go in. There was no time to waste with that. No, instead, she took the back route, scaling the wall to a second story window that she was able to pry open. The window belonged to what looked to be a dressing room for the girls, a rack of cloths bloocking the view of the window as she entered. Once inside, Kuro grabbed some of the show girl cloths, ditching her less appealing attire for one that would allow her to blend in and get closer to her mark. She didn't intend to kill him right away. The place was too crowded for her to do it without being seen. This chance would be used to gather more info, find out where he was staying so that she ould later track him to a more secluded area. Having her new disguise on, Kuro went from the back room that she was in to the front, looking over the people inside to pin point the location of any grey wolves. It was the best place to start as she made her way through the crowd, spending just enough time with each wolf to find out if he was or wasn't the one she was looking for.

Velgar waited outside the Brothel, and saw a specialized limozine parked a bit down the street. Velgar had recieved intel that this was his targets car, and slipped towards it. The driver stood outside, right by an alleyway. He was tall lanky, and had a thin mustashe. He happened to be smoking a cigarette, so Velgar asked him politely " Ecsuse me sir? would you happen to be able to spare a light?" Velgar pulled a package of Camel non filters from his shirt pocket and extracted one. The Driver dug in his pockets and produced a silver cigarette lighter. Velgar took it, and lit his cigarette. He noticed the Driver giving him a once over, with a hungry look on his face. Velgar said to him " see something you like?" The driver looked shocked then nodded " Velgar grabbed the man smoothly between the crotch and said " Lets step in the alley way and we will see about your lit...i mean big problem." As soon as they were out of sight, Velgar put a bullet in between the eyes of the man, striping him naked and dressing in his clothes. He his the body in a dumpster and went to wait in the car, for his target to come back.

Kuro spent about half an hour looking for her target before she finlly found him sitting at a booth with three women already with him. It was a sight that disgused her, as all three of the ladies tried to get with him in a less appropriate way. They flirted with and teased him, each hoping that he would spend his money on them and not the others. She knew she would have to act in a similar maner if she was going to get close to him, and she put on a show that would have fooled anyone into thinking she was a professional show girl rather than an assassin. Walking up to the booth, Kuro held one hand at her waist, the other playing with a strand of her hair. Her hips swayed with each graceful step as well as her tail. "Room for one more?" She asked, her voice sweet yet seductive. The man gave a slight nod of his head, and Kuro took a seat next to the girl on his left. There was something a bit off about him. Now that she was closer, Kuro could read his mood better. Though he smiled and joked about with the girls, his eyes were filled with sadness each time he looked at them or one tried to put the moves on him. There was more to this man than the orhers were willing to see. They only wanted to see a lot of green.

As time passed, the other three girls had taken their leave. They realized that the man wasn't going to pay them for any of their services, and had gone off to find a customer that would. Kuro stayed behind, finally having a chance to get some information about him without the extra audience. "Pardon me if this may sound rude sir, but why are you here? Your lips curl into a smile, but your eyes scream with unspoken sadness. I've been around the block enough times to know that you aren't here for the same reasons that everyone else is." The man looked down at her with a stunned expression at first before it turned to one of genuin happiness. He let out a short laugh, than went on to explain his reasons. He told her he was here, not to partake in the usual activities of a brothel, but to find lost souls that were looking for a way out. By the end of his small talk, he had disclosed that he wanted to offer the girls a chance to better their lives without forcing them to degrade themselves. He also, since he was under the impression that she was one of the brothel girls, offered her a job working for him, one that would give her full benifits and pay just as much as she was getting now. Of course, Kuro accepted, putting on a show of being excited about getting such an oppurtunity.

After talking for a short wile longer, the two left the brothel, though not before Kuro could go and grab her things, which she cleverly hid inside a large, bulky purse she snatched out of the back room. He was about to show her over to a limo that was parked out front, but something felt off about it. sniffing at the air, she could smell fresh blood near by, as well as something else that allarmed her. There was a scent that came from two dirrections. One emitted from the limo, the other from an ally. She also noticed a vaguely familiar scent, one she had picked up on back at the pub. So, he's here somewwhere... She was able to figure out quickly enough what had happened. The other assassin must have taken a more bloody approach, and was waiting somewhere for the mark. Kuro just couldn't tell exactly where. His scent was in several locations, some stronger than others. To be on the safe side, she opted to not take the limo, for it would be the hardest place to fight if it came down to such. She would rather be forced into combat in an open area that she could more around in istead of one that was enclosed. Tugging at the man's arm a bit, she asked if they could walk instead, spinning a story about how the night was too young for her to go home quite yet and that she enjoyed his company. She also added a bit about not wanting people to get the wrong idea of him by having a show girl get into a car with him. He smiled at her, understanding her concern, and agreed to walk instead. Too bad he desided he needed to tell the limo driver to go ahead and head home. He walked up to the window with her beside him, tapping at the glass to get the drivers attention. Kuro instantly shoved her hand into her purse, making it look like she was searching for her phone, though she was getting ready for if things became violent. When the window was finally rolled down, he went on to explain to the driver that he wouldn't be needing a ride home and to go ahead and retire for the night.

Velgar shook his head and looked around. No one was in sight exept one of the Brothel girls. She had a strange look about her, and instantly Velgar knew who she was. Velgar reached out of the window and grabbed the client, pulling him inside and into the passanger seat. At the same time he slammed his foot into the gas pedal and sped off " What is the meaning of this!" His target asked angrily, and Velgar replied, Sir she was an assassin, i watched her reach for her gun." Then the Wolf Anthro looked at him and said " Where is Antonio?" Velgar said " Don't worry, you'll be joining him soon, and with a chop to the neck, he knocked out his target.

The other assassin was smarter than Kuro had given him credit for, since he was able to figure out she was grabbing for her weapons. Too bad he wasn't smart enough, and that she was already prepared. As soon as he grabbed the mark, she had a satchel filled with throwing knives out of her bag. Grabbing two out, she threw them at the limo as it began to speed off. The knives hit the two back tires, causing the vehical to swerve as they suddenly deflated and metal met pavement. Taking advantage of the slower acceleration of the limo, Kuro tried to close the gap. She quickly ran in the dirrectio it had gone, pulling her colapsable bow from the purse now. It didn't take long for her to get it properly assembled while running, and once she was finished with that, she loaded it with a couple arrows. SBeing closer to the limo now, she was able to see the front tires, and with swift motion, was able to take those out as well. The car now had no tires at all, and would be hard to control. It would also leave a more easy to follow trail if she wasn't able to keep up to it on foot. Kuro was ready for that though. Some cars had stopped when they saw the limo was being attacked, and she pulled one of the drivers out of their seat, turning a foot chase into a car chase, as well as giving her the upper hand on speed.

Velgar drove, rim to Asphalt. He knew this was hopeless, so he did the only thing possiable, taking a detour into the alleyway, he pulled his pistol and shot the Wolf three times, twice in the chest, and once in the head. Then stopping his car he got out, pointing his gun at the other car.

Kuro watched as the limo pulled into an ally, and she knew he wouldn't be able to go far taking that path. She also heard the gun shots, her heart sinking a bit. The target had been a nice man who was trying to clean up the city. He was the kind that Kuro would have let live since his heart was in the right place. now he was gone, and all tose he tried to help would fall back into their old ways. Not under estimating the fox again, she drove past the ally he had pulled into, stopping about five yards away. Chances were he was waiting for her, and she wasn't going to make herself an easy target. She climbed the side of the wall, onto the roof of the building her car was parked in front of. She would be safely out of sight, and would be able to use her vantage point to keep an eye on the fox.
