Wish You Were Here (Bonten Rindou Haitani X Fem. OC)

Chapter Two:

"If you wanted information on the leader, why didn't you just come straight to the source?" I say as I cock my pistol at the back of Ishida's head, bringing the man to a standstill.

"Well, if it isn't the Grim Reaper herself, the Yakuza's lead assassin, I was wondering when the likes of you would turn up,' Ishida smirks, 'You didn't think I'd come alone, now did you?"

As soon as those words left his mouth, I could feel the butt of a pistol prod at the back of my skull.

"I came with backup." Ishida further smirks.

"So did I,' I smirk back at Ishida as his face contorts to one filled with confusion, 'It took you long enough."

"Sorry for the delay sis, I may or may not have found trouble elsewhere on my way here." Ryoko whines as he fixes his aim on the man who's holding his weapon to the back of my head.

"Oh?" I look back at Ryoko.

"Looks like Ishida here has his men planted all over the district looking for us. But, I imagine that won't be a problem for us." Ryoko glares at Ishida, then looks back at me.

"You didn't think that I wouldn't prepare for an event such as this? I knew that someone from your squad had to be lurking around here somewhere, but I didn't expect that the Grim Reaper herself would be present." Ishida turns to face me, the butt of my pistol now aiming straight at his forehead.

Ishida was calm...too calm in fact. I've faced men like this before, those who believe that facing me head on would result on a win on their end, but they're never right.

"You have me right where you want me Ishida, now what?" I glare at the man in question, giving off an attitude of cockiness to stir him up. If I make him hesitate, even just a little, it'll give me the opening that I need.

"I want you dead."

I caught at his straightforwardness. "Well, that's just not an option, now is it?" I cock my head at his statement, a fake surprised reaction to the bluntness of his answer to my inquiry, "What you're going to do now is that you're going to hand over those folders and disappear from my sight, and you're going to stop digging into the affairs of the Yakuza. Easy peasy, right?" I step forward.

The man behind me, stepping forward to keep up with me, adjusts his hold on his weapon, giving Ryoko the perfect window to disarm the man. Ryoko kicks in the back of the mans knees, forcing the man to drop to the ground and drop his firearm. This gives me the clearance to fully take control of the situation, 'as if I wasn't already.' I internally smirk.

BAM

I fire a round into Ishida's right thigh, making it difficult for the man to escape if the situation were to somehow get out of hand.

"FUCK." Ishida cries as he falls to the ground, cradling his leg with the bullet wound. I take a look behind me and see that Ryoko has the other man completely disarmed, his gun now pointing at the back of the henchman head as he lays with his stomach towards the ground.

"This could have gone a lot smoother, but you just had to threaten me, didn't ya?" I re-aim my pistol at his other thigh, shooting my shot.

"YOU BITCH." Ishida cries out in pain. Literally. This grown ass man is crying.

"Hmm...look who's the bitch now,' I reach down and pick up the file folders from the ground, 'Who are you working for that is trying to get intel on my squad?" I squat down to Ishida with my gun pointing to the mans forehead as he lays on the ground, backside down.

"I-I'm not going to tell you that." The man stutters, obviously in pain.

"Wrong answer,' I shoot another shot, but this time into the mans right arm, 'I'll give you one more shot,' heh, no pun intended, 'to give me the answer that I am looking for before I end your life, how does that sound?" I am my pistol once again at his other arm.

"O-KAY okay I'll tell you. It's Bonten. They've been using informants to gather intel on your squad. I-I wasn't told why, but was promised a pretty bounty if I brought back the information that they needed." I look down at the man, surprised with the answer that he provided.

"Bonten. Huh. That wasn't the answer I expected." I look over at Ryoko with a look of surprise evident on my face.

"I promise I'm telling you the truth! Now please let me go! I have a family!" Ishida starts crying like the pathetic, worseless man that he is.

"So do we, and you just tried to rat us out. Sounds a little hypocritical, don't ya think?" I cock my head to the side, making deep eye contact with the man. I take final aim at his head and let out my final shot as I stand up, giving Ryoko a nod, indicating to end the life of the man he previously disarmed.

I dust off my pants from squatting on the ground, "Disgusting", I mutter quietly, upset that I got my pants all dirty. Ryoko lets out a breathy laugh at my remark.

"I didn't expect Bonten to be the ones who recruited Ishida, that was an honest surprise." Ryoko says as he puts his thumb and pointer finger up to his chin, thinking about the information that we just learned.

"I can't tell if I'm surprised or not. I mean, we technically are competitors with them so it would only make sense for them to gather intel on us." I pull down my face mask, pulling out my pack of cigarettes and lighter. I open the pack and motion it towards Ryoko. He waves his hands at me in rejection.

"I'm trying to quit."

"Pfft, I haven't heard that one before." I quietly snicker at him as I place a cigarette between my lips and bring the lighter up to it. I inhale the smoke and let is sit in my mouth for a moment before slowly blowing it out, watching the smoke dance in the evening sky. "We should head back, Ayuri and Natsu are probably worried about us." I start to make my way out of the alleyway with Ryoko following closely behind.

"Natsu is probably still asleep on the couch." Ryoko jokes.

"You're probably right about that."
