Following the death of his treasured mentor, master assassin Yuuri Katsuki has to face that his life is completely different. His jobs have changed and he also has to face a bump in the road with the name of Victor Nikiforov. Will Yuuri give in to l...
When I get back my cheeks are just burning out. Victor called me beautiful and he said it like he meant it.
My face goes cold when I realise who Minami is handing a fresh coffee to.
"Hey Yuuri" Minami waves and the brown head of hair turns; revealing Minako's face. She's come to my workplace to yell at me. This is bad.
"Oh my Yuuri! It's been so long!" She exclaims; I smile back, playing into the act.
"You know each other?" Minami cocks his head to the side.
"I was his boss at his old job. We must catch up, come, sit" Minako leads me to the table furthest from any customers, in the back corner of the cafe.
"I'm sorry Minako. I just didn't see the point" I sigh once we sit, drumming the black table with my fingers.
"I'm not here to yell at you" she sighs back, peeling off her cream trench coat to reveal a black office dress.
"Really?" I freeze. Minako likes to yell, this is a change of the normal. Well, everything is changing around me. Even I'm changing. For the worse. I should be focusing on chopping heads not blushing like a fool because a pretty boy said I'm beautiful.
"Yes. I don't have a personal disagreement with your decision. Silver is just like you or Sara or Mickey. He hasn't done anything for us to kill him." Looks like her, Pichit and I are all in agreement.
"However?" I push. She wouldn't come here just to tell me she isn't mad.
"However Amber isn't happy. At all." Her eyes are all serious no joke as she sips what's probably black coffee.
"Why does she want him gone so badly?" That's the million dollar question. Why?
"She believes The Agency is going to use Silver as a weapon to take us down"
"That's fair..."
"But?" It's her turn to push. She's known me for years, she knows when I have more to say.
"But The Agency wouldn't hit again. They have no clear motive."
And it's true. We don't even know why N was killed. We can't even be sure one of the Agency members did it. The reason we divided was because some if us blamed JJ and some didn't. Both sides were justified if I'm honest; he may have done it because he thinks he's the best and has always been power hungry. It's the perfect motive. However N gave him a life as an assassin, like we all were, he should be grateful.
I can't stand the man, I couldn't work with him anymore regardless of whether or not he killed N. As for the rest, everybody had their own reason for the side they picked; Pichit and Sara refused to leave me, Mickey refused to leave Sara, Leo also didn't like JJ and Minako feels obliged to take care of me now that N's gone.
"Exactly" she sips her coffee again. Plus, if they didn't want to do that I have faith that Chris wouldn't let it happen. I dislike all of the members of the Agency other than Silver- because I don't know him- and Chris. Chris didn't leave out of fear, he wasn't swayed by his view of JJ and he had nothing against N. Chris is the only one I don't feel betrayed by because he left due to the Agency needing him. He performs the same job as Minako and he's good at it. TA would be lost without him. Before leaving, he even met up with me and went out of his way to convey that I'm still his family and he'll always be there if I need him. It filled me with respect for the man.
"What is Amber playing at?" I ask myself more than her when I get back to the conversation at hand.
"Not at; with. She's playing with fire" Minako's absolutely right. The woman is treading dangerous waters. When Yakov -The Agency's head- hears about her intent he's going to be thoroughly pissed.
"I trusted you with deciding whether she was right for the job" I almost scold. This might only be a blip, I can't full out loose it on Minako. I couldn't if I tried.
"I know Yuuri, I know" she sighs, shoulders falling.
"I want to talk to her. Face to Face." I decide. She and I need to clarify her intentions, I don't care if she's trying to save face"
"I'll see what I can do" she stands, pulling her coat on and picking up the coffee. I stand too, out of obligation. N really drilled a gentlemanly attitude into me.
"And Yuuri, you should know, that Silver is on your hit list now. Officially." My heart sinks. I don't want this hit but if I don't do it I could be... discarded. That can't happen, I'm not Yuuri Katsuki, I'm Black Knight. If I loose that I loose everything.
