The Masked Fox

4

Kiyoomi was severely angered by the situation where the fox got one up on him and made him lose his shit. He was disappointed in himself because he had already been dealing with so much shit and then in comes this cocky alpha assassin who screws things up and starts playing games. Someone who has never even met face-to-face and only spoke to that one time managed to get him angrier than he had ever been in his entire life and managed to make him feel childish about it so he went and took it out like an adult. It was a low blow but anything goes in this game between the two. Kiyoomi was going through his siblings reports and saw that one of them had been scribbled on, on the back of the page. 'I made a dick move making you lose your shit like that, I had my reasons - the Masked Fox'.

Kiyoomi scoffed, like fuck this cocky alpha assassin had his reasons for making Kiyoomi lose his shit other than having something for entertainment. He decided he wouldn't make anything of this fake ass excuse for acting the way he did. They weren't close, they were fucking enemies of sorts, anything goes. Kiyoomi just rolled his eyes and went back to work before his screen went black again and a fox mask covered the screen. He let out an annoyed huff.

[We will meet soon, but I won't show you my face. You may ask me three more questions before I cut contact until I decide to message you again, same rules as last time]. Kiyoomi was irritated and asked flat out what he had been thinking about for the past week.

[What was your reason for making me lose my shit?].

[It will make sense when we meet but it was more so to see how dangerous you could be at your angriest, since that doesn't really count you still have three questions].

[What is your eye colour?]. He decided that he would ask questions about the others appearance to have some idea in his head of what the assassin looks like, and to rule things out in his search.

[Brown.] Brown, that fucking sucks. It's the most common eye colour. And what kind of brown is it? Hazel, dark, lighter. Kiyoomi felt himself getting frustrated and took deep breaths to calm down, not allowing himself to give the assassin the satisfaction of watching him lose his temper like last time.

[How tall are you?] A basic question. A lot of the suspected people that could be the masked fox are over 6'0 and close to or taller than Kiyoomi.

[Shorter than you. You still have 2 questions to make it fair. I will answer clearly]. Kiyoomi was able to rule out anyone over 6'4 but wasn't able to get much help. There were barely any alphas taller than Kiyoomi in the suspect pool so it was somewhat of a relief that he didn't lose a question because of that.

[Any siblings?] He knew that was a stupid question but asked it anyways, getting the answer that he had expected to get.

[Won't answer that, ask a different one.]

[Dyed or natural hair?] Less than half of the suspects had dyed hair, the answer to this made his job easier.

[Dyed, one question left.] Yes! Kiyoomi was smirking knowing now that he had just eliminated the majority of his suspects for the masked fox leaving about 35 left out of about 98.

[What age did you present as an alpha?] Alphas love bragging about what age they presented, Kiyoomi knew because Kiyoomi did it too. He present at the age of 7, extremely young given that the usual age for people who aren't 'pure bred' like Kiyoomi is 9-12 although many alphas present on the earlier end of that spectrum.

[Ask a different question.] Kiyoomi found that odd but brushed it off thinking that the assassin must have presented later than most and was embarrassed by it, as many alphas brag about the age they presented. Generally, people think the younger they present the stronger and better they are. It could also be about being embarrassed by presenting older than Kiyoomi, although many alphas had it doesn't mean it's something they like bringing up.

[How long until we meet?]

[No longer than 3 months and no shorter than 2 weeks.] Between 2 weeks and 3 months, no later and no earlier, that meant that Kiyoomi had to be prepared, as prepared as he could be to meet the masked fox.

[Goodbye fox.]

[Goodbye Sakusa Kiyoomi].

After ending the conversation Kiyoomi looked at his notes for what he knew about the masked fox. He called Iwaizumi and Kuroo and told them that they needed to give him everything that they could find, turns out that they had found absolutely nothing. They looked into every single suspect and ruled every single one of them out. Kiyoomi thought that the masked fox had to have known that to give Kiyoomi his eye colour and telling him that he had dyed hair. Fucking hell, back to square one.

Out of frustration and stressing he called for Bri and they fucked for the next few hours. Until Kiyoomi was done and told her to leave. It was clear he never wanted anything more with Bri than just to fuck, before they entered the arrangement they had terms and conditions. Bri rejected aftercare and so did Kiyoomi. It was a mutual agreement not to participate in it and the contract could always be revisited. Bri just expected that Kiyoomi would change everything about himself and the way he works for her and he just wouldn't.

Calling a family meeting later that night his family arrived and he told them everything that he knew and learnt regarding the masked fox. The family was surprised that he didn't call them as soon as they got their answers and Reki was even more surprised to hear that there was a message from the masked fox on his report that he didn't know of. It actually pissed him off more than anything because he has never really missed details and because of the fact that the asshole alpha known as the masked fox used him to get to his brother. "Can we all agree that none of us are safe with the masked fox lurking around? We need him on our side or killed, he still owes us millions, we are lucky after that CEO that when they replaced him they continued to pay us. I really fucking hate that alpha." Reki said maliciously and filled with pure hate.

"Yeah. I would love to hit him at least once when we get that bastard." Kota agreed.

"Actually, I have to thank him. He may be an asshole and I would on any other occasion want to kill that asshole but he has saved my workers many times. The omegas say they have never felt more safe in doing their work. Not only that but when they are coming short on rent or food and usually get me to buy it they find that its already been done for them by a guy in a fox mask. They don't see him properly other than the mask but the assassin is definitely male and assumed to be an alpha by all of them. Hell he even takes care of their kids if they have any." Emiko explained and they nodded.

"He is like robin hood or some shit then." Reki said and Fumiko laughed.

"I think this alpha will be interesting when we meet him." Seiji said while kissing his wife on his head.

"Look my wife is at home, I'll fill her in on everything when she is done at the strip club." Reki said. He married a badass stripper that he met through his sister, this woman took no shit and always knew how to put every other alpha in their place. The ideal alpha for him, they had a mutual respect for each other and they trust each other. When people learn his wife is a stripper they make rather distasteful comments and always get beaten to a bloody pulp due to their words. She has a stable job that she loves and is loyal to him and vis versa. His parents don't mind since Akime, his wife, is a strong alpha who is also in management at the strip club as well as a dancer.

"I should go too, my fiancé is really busy at the hospital lately and is going to need rest so I'll go home and make things comfortable for her." Kota tells them all.

"My husband is busy working on getting us those weapons trades we wanted to expand our business more efficiently so that we can officially go into the weapons business." Emiko says as she leaves.

"We'll just crash here." Kiyoomi's parents tell their son before walking to their room.

Everyone left to where ever they were going. When Kiyoomi went to bed that night he turned on his side and saw a figure sitting on his windowsill that when it turned it had a fox mask on. Kiyoomi rubbed his eyes and in that time the figure disappeared. For a moment Kiyoomi had thought he'd imagined things but he saw a sticker of a fox stuck to his window and knew that what he just saw was real. That was the man he had been hunting for and he slipped away quickly and quietly.
