Devil's Trill

Chapter 3: An Unexpected Visitor

Rin woke up the next morning on the couch with his laptop resting on his lap due to all night hacking for missions and updates in the world of assassins when a knock was heard at the door.

'I wasn't expecting anyone.'

Carefully, he stalked towards the door, listening for any sound.

Flick. Rin's eyes widened as he swiftly opened the door with him behind it, showing blue flames halfway through the hotel room. The intruder smoothly walked inside and turned his head as if looking for something or someone. He wore a thin blue jacket and navy blue jeans, same as his hair and eyes. Rin creeped behind him and sent a kick to his back but was blocked one-handed by the intruder.

"My, my. You sure have gotten weaker, Devil," the intruder said in a sly voice, releasing his grip. Rin put down his leg and smirked.

"I wouldn't be so sure." The intruder was suddenly in beads of sweat when he saw dark sickles in the corner of his eye, pointing at his back, ready to kill him at any moment. "Tsk. Toućhe."

The sickles vanished and Rin went back to his laptop. "What do you want, Eiji?"

"Me? I just wanted to see how my favorite person doing," he mused. Rin narrowed his eyes. "Let me rephrase that question; how the hell did you find me?"

"Oh, that. Let me tell you how HARD it was to find your ass. I had to search through your recent missions, which was a lot by the way. Let's not forget I had to trace you world wide. Who knows how long you'll be here in Japan? I practically had to use my familiar to see if you're in the area an even find your signature waves. It doesn't exactly help that you change your clothes in a flash so I can't ask people to find you." Rin chuckled a bit.

"And just when I do find you what do I see? You flirting with some blonde guy," he spat out in distaste. "So I followed you here and waited."

Rin sprung up from his laptop and glared at Eiji. "You sick bastard!" he growled.

Eiji raised his hands in surrender. "Be glad I didn't interrupt you getting fucked by him. Speaking of, where is the lucky SOB?" he asked sardonically.

"On the bed. Dead," Rin answered simply.

"Wow. You aren't called the Black Widow for nothing," he whistled marveling at the dead body. "Want me to clean this up for you?"

"If you don't mind. Save me the trouble of doing it myself. He was just a stress reliever anyway." Rin said as his eyes never left the laptop.

With just a snap of his fingers, Eiji's blue flame engulfed the bed but didn't burn it. Instead, the body and the dried up blood vanished, almost as if it never existed. Satisfied, Eiji went I the chair Rin sat on and leaned on it.

"You know, I could have been your reliever. My cute little devil, you could've had sex with me of you'd just called," he said whispering in his ear.

Rin blushed and covered his ear in reflex. He abruptly turned his head to Eiji in a glare. "You know why I can't and won't sleep with you. Unless you want to be like Nao there, I suggest you keep that thought out of your head."

"Mmn, so you knew his name. I'll tell you, the amount of people you sleep with, man or woman, makes me dangerously jealous," he said twirling Rin's hair.

"Jealous!? Of what!? They all died!!"

"True, but they've all experienced eternal bliss; you," he said now kneeling to Rin. Eiji held Rin's hands close to his heart. "My dear little devil, have you not realized how much red suits you and those eyes are like rare jewels that entraps everyone into limbo. Only those who know the true meaning I shedding blood are good enough for you. Those who feel pain and those who know pain doesn't compare to what you've been through. Just know you are worth more than you think."

Rin wanted to say something but was interrupted by a sound on his laptop.

Ding, ding, ding.

Rin and Eiji paused and looked at the laptop.

News Update for ALL Assassins:
    World's #1 Assassin, Lightning, Deceased
    Killed by Takahashi Akira
    Whoever kills him, is ranked as the new world's #1 assassin

Rin took the laptop and looked closely at the name before completely deleting it off his computer. He suddenly thought of that stranger he bumped into last week. So he does have blood on his hands.

"Do you know this Akira guy?" Eiji suddenly asked a little curious.

"No, not at all," he replied closing his laptop.

"Are you going to accept the request and become World's #1 Assassin?"

"Maybe, but not for the title. I just want the kill so there'll be one less disgusting human in this useless world to worry about. Assassins are monsters who either kill for blood or world destruction. I, on the other hand, act as a messenger for the final stage of this world's destruction."

"Wow, so gloomy but that's what makes you the devil," he smiled and kissed him on the cheek. Just as he was about to leave, Rin stopped him.

"Wait. Why did you really come here?" he asked not bothering to look at him

Eiji sighed and rubbed the nape of his neck. He glared at the door in all seriousness. "I came to deliver a message: 'I know what you have done and I am very disappointed. I want you to come home soon or I will come and get you myself.' Personally, I don't want you to go back. I will stall for as much as I can but I don't know how long I can keep it up. I wish you luck," he said as he left the room.

Just how strong is this guy to be on a hit list of a #1 assassin?

Rin was lost in thought when Eiji said his news. He was deep in thought of Akira; the guy he met weeks ago, when he was snapped out of it at the mention of a message.

Wait. Did he just say it was 'him'?

If HE is coming to take me home, then I'll be- No!! Not again. This time, I'll...I'll.....I

Rin put on his clothes and rushed out of his room to get started on his new mission but not before his thoughts turned on one in particular:

Big brother.
