The Freak

Chapter 11: The first mission

It's morning. Kanoji wakes up and remembers last night and thinks to himself "Why did I go with her?" he gets up and walks to the door, but as he tries ti open the door, the door opens and Yanata falls on Kanoji. Yanata blushes and Kanoji, unfazed by the fact that Yanata is on top of him and asks - "Why are you here...again?" Yanata gets up and so does Kanoji. Yanata - "I wanted to wake you up, we're a bit late, so lets go" she grabs Kanoji by the hand and starts running Kanoji lets go of her hand and says - "I can walk on my own" Yanata feels disturbed and says - "We're almost there" they walk to a room which says "No trespassing" Yanata opens the door and they see a big round table with Sorata, Arashi and Nishiro already sitting and Kyshimo in the front, they walk in and Kyshimo says - "Sit down". Arashi immediatly looks at Kanoji and as he opens his mouth to say something he gets interruped by Kyshimo as he says - "As I was saying, today our mission will be to get supplies from our dealer - Hyshido, at 6 o'clock in the evening you will move out by foot, Kanoji, seeing as this is a simple mission you will go along to get introduced to how things work around here and with that, our meeting is over, everyone go and get ready" everyone replies - "Understood". Kanoji leaves the room and heads out to the roof to get some fresh air, once he gets there he hears someone coming and sees Yanata, she walks up to him and says - "Somehow, I knew that you would be here, it's nice out here right?" she says while smiling at Kanoji, but Kanoji doesn't respond just gazes at the horizon and says to himself - "Why am I here, what is my purpose...?" Yanata says - "Hm? Did you say something?" Kanoji doesn't respond just leaves the roof and heads back to his room to get ready. Yanata thinks to herself - "What's up with him?" *5:30* in the evening. They gather up to leave for the mission and Kanoji takes the katana he cut Arashi with him, Arashi sees the katana and feels his skin shiver. Kyshimo sends them off by saying - "Okay, go with usual formation: Sorata and Yanata in the back and Arashi with Nishiro in the front but today Kanoji will be in the back, your job will be to protect and aid the back line. Everybody got what they need?" Yanata has her big rifle that is on her back Sorata with Nishiro don't have anything and Arashi has a knife. Everyone says - "Yes, sir" Kyshimo - "Good, now get going" they head out by foot they walk for about an hour and Arashi says tired - "How much further?" Nishiro responds - "Well, we've walked about 4 kilometers so it should be just a kilometer away" Kanoji asks - "What supplies are we getting?" Sorata responds - "Well, stuff like, weapons, ammo, armor and other things, things we our soldiers need" Nishiro - "Be sharp, these places are known for bandits" everyone keeps quiet and looks around for anything suspicious, finnaly they approach an old building a five story tall, old, abandoned builiding. Sorata says - "We're here, lets go" they walk in and see an old man holding a stick and to both his sides, two men in formal suits standing there and guarding him. They approach the man and the man says - "The wolf houls..." Nishiro anwsers - "When the moon is full" Kanoji thinks to himself - "The wolf houls when the moon is full l, huh?" The man then points to a metal door and says - "There" Nishiro nods and they go to the room, Nishiro opens the door and they see explosives, guns, ammo and more Arshi says out loud - "Whoa! How are we gonna carry this?" Nishiro grabs two big boxes to each of his hands and says - "Get the rest" everyone picks up what's left and the walk out. As they walk out the man still standing there, follows Kanoji with his eyes and when Kanoji looks back at him, the man says - "Don't be scared of the demons, because you're the devil... Haro" the man smiles as Kanoji just stops, everyone turns back, then Nishiro says - "What's wrong, Kanoji?" Kanoji drops the bag he was carrying and starts walking to the man. Arashi starts shouting - "What the hell are you doing, you idiot? Lets get going!" As Kanoji approaches the man, one of the men, next to the old man, pulls out a gun, but the old man raises his hand and the man puts down his gun. The man says - "I didn't think devils came back to life..." Yanata - "Kanoji?" Kanoji walks up the man and asks - "How do you know that name?" the man just smiles and doesn't say anything. Kanoji then grabs the man by his shirt and lifts the man up to the air Nishiro starts shouting - "Kanoji what is wrong with you?! Put him down, now!" Kanoji asks the man - "I'll ask once more, how do you know that name?" the old man starts choking, the bodyguards qiuckly shoot Kanoji in one hand and Kanoji lets go the man, he falls down, the guards help him get up, the man says - "I'm fine, so... the devil forgot who he was?" and starts laughing out loud. Yanata says - "Guys, someones coming, about a 100 meters, three men dressed in black, closing in fast" Nishiro yells - "Kanoji! We're leaving now! Kanoji doesn't respond and tries to grab the man once more, but Yanata says - "Arashi grab Kanoji and we're out of here, fast!" Arashi runs up towards Kanoji and pulls him by his bleeding hand and they start running, Yanata grabs the bag Kanoji dropped and as they leave the building the man says once more - "When you remember, come find me" they run through the exit and meet the three blackly dressed men that Yanata saw and one of them says - "Well, well, well... We meet again... tell me how's your leg?"
