Who is in control? | Bonten x (Y/N)

''I'll punish you myself. ''

A shiver ran down your spine, not from fear, but a gnawing unease. The voice felt oddly familiar, teasing at the fringes of your memory like an elusive tune you can't quite place.

''Am I supposed to be scared or what?'' you answered. 

BEEP

The call ended, and you were left puzzled. Your memory was a mess post-incident. It would've been easier if you had held onto some stuff, like a document or a picture. Now, you were stuck dealing with the fallout.

''Who was that?'' Mikey asked glaring at you in confusion.

''It was them. They wanted to scare me, make me keep everything under wraps... However, as I was about to say I don't remember anything about them.''

''But... You said your memories came back.'' Vlad said looking at you in utter disbelief. 

''I have some of them, but it never came back completely. I know who I am, but everything else has been long forgotten.''

''So... What do you remember?''

''It's been a while... Their name was the SNS, they were the government of their country. The country has been falling apart for quite some time and they were loosing the votes of the people. Any time another party tried to oppose them, they would hire me or some other trusted assassin to slaughter them. However, after some time the people got sick of it and started to protest. The government devised a new plan, a mind control drug or something like that... I don't remember anything else, but there is probably much more.''

Vlad said that apparently the SNS had given up their rule of the country and disappeared from everyone's radar for the past few months. Everything about them was erased, they disappeared as if they never existed. 

''So basically we have nothing...'' Koko said, sounding very displeased. 

''Wait, I think I might have something, but I'll need my computer for this.''

''Well, here's your laptop. It was the only thing that they didn't break in your apartment.'' 

''They were searching through my stuff?'' you asked, acting as if you already didn't know this. 

The computer seemed as if its not been tampered with. There was only one place that you know that might have some information on them. After that whole ordeal and moving away from your country, you moved to Tokyo with a friend. They killed her and you were left with her apartment, which you left untouched. You never went there, but you knew that she probably kept some kind of proof. You found her address and the pin to her apartment in a hidden folder on your computer. 

''There is an apartment that we should go check out. There might be some documents about them.''

''Rindou, Kakucho, go with her, just in case.''

''With all due respect Manjiro. I can go by myself, it will be faster this way.''

He stood up from where he was sitting and he walked closer to you. Your faces were now so close to each other you could feel his hot breath on your neck. 

''I told you, you can call me Mikey. Since we have been roped into this, this is now Bonten's business. They are going with you. I don't like when people disobey me. You were so mean that night, leaving me for Izana. I'll punish you myself.'' he said in a low tone.

''I would like to see you try.'' you answered back. 

He glared at you for a couple of second, but didn't bother to say anything else. He turned around and went back to sit on the sofa. 

.................................

There was no need to doll up, you just put your blonde wig on and giant sunglasses to conceal your identity. You met up with them, and Kakucho drove you to her apartment. 

The silence during the ride wasn't awkward at all. They were actually pretty pleasant to be around, unlike the rest of them. As you pulled up to her apartment building painful memories started resurfacing, it's been a long time since you have been here. You led them through the building until your reached the door of her apartment. 

 The apartment looked so empty. The floors were dusty and so was everything else. Luckily, because of the excessive amount of dust on the floor, you were able to conclude that nobody has walked through here. They must have forgotten about this place. 

Through the main hall you continued to the door of her room. However, something caught you attention. A ring was sitting upon the hall table. There was no dust around it or on it, it was completely clean. You went and picked it up, it still looked as good as new. Your hands started shaking, you remembered. She was buried with ring.

You took a shaky breath and put in your pocket before Rindou and Kakucho saw it. You continued to the door and opened it. They were following you, but also giving you some space, which made you feel less anxious about being here. 

You opened her closet and there was it, the thing that you were searching for. It was a smaller box than you had remembered, but nonetheless you opened it. A broken picture frame, blue gloves and... There is stuff missing from this box, somebody was here already. Your hands were shaking more intensely.  

You dumped everything onto the floor and a note flew out of it. 

'Who is in control?' written in blood.
