Skies Heart II: Secrets [Completed]

Chapter XVII: Too good for a killer

"Iyiho Bosto..." Panimulang pakilala ni Vipie sa lalaking naglalakad na ngayon sa makipot na daan papuntang Arena. An Assassin versus an Assassin, it would surely be an interesting fight. She can already feel that the team she's handling will surely have the goosebumps she had been waiting for.

Iyiho is from the Ranked Assassins of the underworld. Unlike Chalouis or Gorie, his records of countless brutal killings are immeasurable. "He's from the 3rd Assassin Clan, had already killed 3,005 lives at the age of 15, excluding those unreported. All his victims has the holes of the famous move of Bosto, the 99 bullets." Nag flash sa harapan nila ang mga katawan ng pinatay ni Iyiho na muntik ng hindi makilala sa dami ng butas at dugo sa katawan.

"He was a prodigy, but never hunted though. Until 13 years ago, he did something against the Council that was not mentioned and is covered with class SS security. At the age of 15, he become a Golden Seal wanted person with 100 000 000 rabbits on his head. He manage to run from this for only a month. Somehow, someone from the underworld moved and pinned him to the council." Sora leans her head on the wall while eyeing at Tray's back at the arena.

"So Iyiho who's been imprison for 13 years was one of the prodigy, huh." Napalingon sa likuran nila sina Sasha at Sehire na taimtim at seryoso kaninang nakikinig sa pinapaliwanag ni Vipie nang magsalita ang Viesrayon. Maging ang Game host ay napatigil din sa pagsasalita.

Nararamdaman nilang may pinapahiwatig na interesadong kaalaman ang mga kataga noon.

Bahagyang napaungol si Sora ng mapansin ang tahimik nilang mundo, everyone is waiting for her next words. She wryly sigh before chooses to continue explaining. "The person who pinned him down in less than a second was also the prodigy who was gone missing when he was a kid. Everyone thought he's dead, well then before he come back home from nowhere that is." She finishes her words with a victorious grin. Her expression contradicts her comrade's surprised faces.

Mga ilang segundo pa ang lumipas para pagbigyang pumasok ang kaalaman sa mga utak nila, kaya natagalan bago tuluyang nakagalaw sina Sasha. Windang na windang ang ekspresyon ng mga muka ng mga iyon ng dahan dahang napalingon kay Tray.

Magkaharap na ngayon sina Iyiho at Tray sa gitna ng Arena. Nag-iisang niyakap ng tunog ng pagbagsak ng maskara ng presong si Iyiho sa lupa ang nakapathimik na mundo ng labanan. "So Sebastian, long time no see. " Natatawang bati ni Iyiho sa Ziellhie na nasa harapan nya.

"It's been 13 years, I'm surprised you still know me..." Tinalo ng mayabang na ngiti ni Tray ang kaninang proud na tawa sa muka ng Bosto. "13 years and 6 months." Iyiho clarifies more like cursing. "How could I forget the kid who jailed me in?"

Nabasag sa sahig ang kaninang mug na hawak hawak ni Yussen. Kanina pa nyang hindi masyadong maintindihan ang sinasabi ni Trese, pero ngayon, mula na mismo sa Bosto ang nag aalab na balita. Si Tray Sebastian Ziellhie ang nagkulong sa isang makasaysayang mamamatay tao.

Nagsimula ng magbilang sa utak nya si Yussen, napatigil na iyon ng tuluyan at nabato pa ang nakangangang bibig ng may mapagtanto. "Se-seven years old. He's just seven years old that time..." Parang flush na nawala ang kulay sa muka noon, putlang putla na sya habang inaalala ang ginagawa ng pitong taong gulang sya. Probably just playing outside with teddy bears and catching butterflies at the garden, or maybe just starting to learn how to read.

Napagbigyan ng katahimikan ni Yussen na mag isip isip din si Kria. "I maybe just started to learn how to climb trees, jumped from there and swam at lakes that time." Saglit na napatigil si Yussen sa sobrang weird na kaibahan ng iniisip nila ng babae. Pero napili na lang nyang mag hysterical bago pa man tanungin ni Kria ang ginagawa nya noon.
