The Hunter and The Predator Leokumi

10|| Iago

He turns to see the visitor who he was expecting however it was someone else and it catches him off guard. It is Leo who entered with that look of surprise and whispers his title, "Fujin Yumi."

Upon hearing his name Fujin pulls his scarf higher to hide his face. He carefully use the shadows in the weakly lit room to disguise his visage despite the mask that covered it. He flicks his head to Garon, a man around his fifties, sitting in his chair like he's a king on their throne. It's obvious that he wants Leo to leave and the wise man did as well.

"Leave us," Garon orders directly to Leo. His face is covered in shadows but the raw authority of his voice alone makes Fujin to raise his guard. Leo can be seen hesitating about the command his father gave him. Fujin understands his confusion, especially since it is him who's the Hunter. However Leo bears an emotionless mask and bows in apology for disturbing them and turns to leave.

Fujin keeps his eyes on the other and narrows it when they come back with someone else. Leo looks troubled but he keeps his feelings masked at the fact he returns to the studies once again. The man behind him pushing him forwards and then stepping in front. He leaves Leo at the entrance and goes straight to the light switch, his nonchalant words entering the silence velvety, "You shouldn't work in the dark Mr. de Nohr. It's bad for your eyesight. Oh I've also invited your son for the conversation if you don't mind, surely he'll want the experience."

Some of the lights flicker on with a soft glow. Satisfaction on the newcomer's mug he returns to stand by Leo with great demeanor in that fancy suit he wore. Strangely the moment Fujin saw his face a deep unrecognizable hatred burn in his heart, it's because this is the man he's been searching for. He grips his weapons tightly and keeps silent.

"Mr. de Nohr, if I may so ask, why is the famed Fujin Yumi here? Did you perhaps called me here to make a contract?" The smartly dressed man innocently asks without a doubt in his words.

Garon lifts a hand to rest his cheek on, not even caring that Leo is there, and replies, "No Iago. This Hunter is here for an investigation."

Iago gives a face of confusion at Garon's words and acting like a faithful subordinate he ask Fujin, "Did Mr. de Nohr do anything? I assure you he isn't tainted."

Fujin ignores Iago like he has little importance to the matter to lower the vampire's guard. He looks at Garon again and explains, "Due to a request I've taken, my leads guide me to this mansion. I came to see why there's a heavy connection with the blacklist here."

Iago needlessly comments, "As rumored, you always clean out the blacklist either by hunting or cleansing."

"There'll be a hunt tonight," Fujin coldly replies to Iago's false praises. Iago then becomes astonish just like a man full of suspicion, nothing like his 'faithful' act he pulled. He looks at Garon with dread.

"What had you done?" Iago asks as if he was betrayed.

Leo witness to the scene unfolding is puzzle. There are too many unnecessary facts that comes to play here and too many of them is vague. However he doesn't have time to shift the gears into place and his body tightens up when Fujin rise his arrow to the bow. Leo is about to take a step forward to stop the Hunter and question him but halts.

An unfamiliar sound of gears reaches Fujin's and Leo's ears. Everyone looks towards the source, a bookcase among bookcases starts to move. Fujin has seen many of these hidden passageways before so it comes to no surprise to see one here. Though he isn't prepared for this plan and see the entrance of the passage open as the bookcase folds inwards.

Three figures can be seen stumbling out of the passage into the warm light of the room. Leo stiffens in shock at this and Fujin hears him whisper, "Kamui?"
