Pull the Trigger

Familiar Faces

' Now why does that sound familiar....'

He said his name was Kuroo Tetsurou, but it sounds so familiar for some reason. Did I know a Kuroo when I was younger? No. I was left on the street fending for myself 'til Bokuto came to rescue me. I didn't know anybody while I was alone.

" Anya!" someone shouted, pulling me out of thoughts. I turned around to see Kuroo and Bokuto bickering about something. ' oh brother....'.

" What do you want Tetsurou?" This ' new recruit' is already annoying me and we've only met 5 minutes ago. " Now, now, is that anyway to talk to the new recruit?" he asked in an innocent voice.

" I'm going to kill him."

" Anya, no."

" Anya, yes!"

" No."

"Fine."

The worst thing about being Bokuto's little sidekick? Taking orders from him.

" What did you call me over for anyway, Tetsurou?"

" We just wanted to see who was right."

" Bokuto was."

" I didn't even say anything yet!"

" I don't care, Bokuto's right."

Bokuto started laughing while Kuroo stood there, mouth agape, and glaring at me. I chuckled before saying, " What, cat got your tongue?" That broke him. He stomped to the front and continued walking. I stopped and waited for Bokuto to catch up before starting up a conversation.

" So where to now, boss?"

" Getting the second recruit. This one's new, though. I've never even heard of him."

" So a newbie is about to join our mission? Why? If you know nothing about him, have never heard anything about him, much less met him, why are you letting him in on this?"

I raised my voice a little. Kuroo turned and looked at us before shrugging and turning back around. Bokuto side-eyed me. " Sorry..." I grumbled. If I wasn't worried about the idiot with the bed hair ruining this plan, I'm 100% worried now. ' I hope you know what you're doing, Bokuto'. I shouldn't be thinking like that. He's the boss. The leader. One of the biggest Mafia's out there, and yet I'm questioning his leadership because I'm worried. How lame.

" I'm letting him on this mission because I think he has potential. I've seen him before. You're right, I've never met him. But seeing him in pictures, you should've seen his eyes. It gave me shivers and nothing scares me!" Bokuto boasted.

Yup.

We're in a lot of trouble now.

We made it out of the forest and went into an abandoned house. Right, because this isn't sketchy at all. ' Kuroo was leading us away from the forest, didn't ask where we were going, and now we're here....this son of a gun just played us like pawns in chess!'

Pulling out my knife, I grabbed Bokuto's arm and brought him behind me. " Don't. Say. A word." I whispered. Taking a few, not so quiet, steps on the old, rotten wood floor, I lifted my arm to strike Kurro's back before he said.

" I wouldn't do that If I were you." I gasped. ' How did he know?! Sure, the floor was loud but how did he know I was about to kill him?' He turned to me before taking my wrist and grabbing my knife out of my hand.

Well, tried to.

I kicked his leg from beneath him and pinned him down, knife to his neck. His face was priceless, I wish I cou;d've taken a picture.

" I wouldn't do that if I were you." I mocked. I took in his face. His eyes were a flaming gold, his casted casted a shadow over his right eye, outlining the scar on his eyebrow. ' I've seen that scar...but where?' Hearing a cough in the distance, I turned to look at Bokuto.

" The newbie is supposed to be here in 2 minutes, I'm going out front to meet him. Don't do anything crazy until after we've got him, alright?" He gave a small chuckle before walking out of the house and to the, very dead, garden. I turned back to Kuroo. He smiled at him before speaking. I wasn't really listening. His voice reminded me of someone. I don't remember his name, I just remembered us working together one time to steal some fruit from a fruit stand on the road. He distracted the guy while I pocketed as much as I could. His name....oh gosh what was it? Come on , Anya! After we left together, we split the fruit, and he told me his name was...

" Ao."

Remember how I said I wasn't listening? Yeah, now I am.

" What did you say?"

" Ao. Anya, Ao."
