Shrieks of laughter were heard throughout the park. Running in circles chasing each other on the playground, while the mothers sat in the shade of the trees chatting and watching over their young children. All along the path through the open park there were trees and benches. Most were being taken by groups of people, or couples, occasionally one of the benches would be open, inviting any walkers around the park. Under the shade of a tree on the bench closest to the playground a tall male sat serenely waiting, glancing at the sky and passing clouds, down to the children giggling and laughing.

Out of the corner of his eye a woman about 20 approached. She wore jeans and a tank top. Perfect for the beautiful sky today. “Hello.” She smiled sweetly.

He smiled a soft glittering smile, “There isn’t anything better then sitting on a bench in the middle of the park, on a day like this is there?”

The woman smiled, “Not too much. Is anyone sitting next to you?” The man’s smile faded slightly.

“I’m actually waiting for someone. I’m sorry.”

“That’s ok. I hope they come soon.” He nodded his head politely as she left. That was the third girl who had tried to hit on him. Watching the kids again he smiled softly thinking to himself. I’m such a chick magnet. Too bad. Another figure began approaching his bench. A male this time.

“Hello.”

Their eyes met briefly before he looked up at the sky, “There isn’t anything better then sitting on a bench in the middle of the park, on a day like this is there?”

The boy smiled broadly, “There is of course the nice feeling of sand between your toes, or eating chocolate syrup from the bottle.”

Looking at the brown haired boy next to him. He smiled softly, “So you must be Shingami, huh? Where’s Ice?”

“Ice is in a safe place.” Violet eyes watched the small children running about happily. “Have you been contacted by the society yet about this problem?”

“No.”

They sat in silence until braided boy shifted slightly, “How did you get into this business?”

The man sighed, “I wasinedined by my uncle to be the replacement. As long as the order has stood one member from our family has been a part of it.”

Violet eyes settled on the man next to him, “Do you have any regrets?”

“No. I met my one true love on assignment for the assassins. He happens to be one too.” They sat together quietly, until Duo arose.

“Good choice. It‘s too risky having a lover outside of the society. At least we know the risks involved.” Shingami pushed up from the bench with a small sigh. “Lets get going Artic Fox.”

The two headed down the path in the park, sun glinting off a small dagger on a chain around Artic’s neck. Across the way a slim figure dissected the movements, of the two boys leaving the bench, eyebrow quirking slightly. Taking out her phone she entered the number and waited.

“Hello”

“Sphinx speaking.”

“Status?”

“They left the park. He met with Shingami”

“Where is his loyalty?”

“Unknown”

“That is unacceptable.”

“My Orders?”

“Return to base before your spotted. Out”

Shutting the phone she watched the steady swing of the braid as the two ambled down the path out of sight. //They will Pay//

********************************************************************************

The steady flow of customers in and out of the room was annoying him. An hour he had been waiting for contact. The smoky bar was the destination and the booth at the end of the row was where they were suppose to sit. He wasn’t stupid though, he refused to sit there and be an open target for his partner to find him before he did. He had been scanning the crowd and so far none of them gave them the feeling or the mark of an assassin. Two minutes passed by when suddenly his muscles tensed and head swiveled to the back entrance and there was a boy looking about his age staring right at him wearing a black coat.

They nodded at each other both making their way to the appointed booth. Both sat down facing each other, both running mental assessments.

“Wing?”

“Panther?”

Both nodded. Silence once again issued itself across the table. “We should leave”

Heero looked around the bar. “Where to? Your packing weapons so am I. I don’t wish to waltz into your lair at the same time I don’t want you to enter mine.”

“A hotel perhaps?”

“Lets go.”

The two left the bar. Each hopping into their own cars the first hotel they spotted they stopped at. Entering the lobby they both were carrying duffle bags. Upon receiving their key they left to the room. Entering the room they closed the blinds then switched the lights on. Heero got out an electronic box, and switched it on. A light on it began to blink green, so Heero quickly put it away turning to the boy, “No bugsthe the room.”

“Good.”

“Have you worked with a second assassin before?”

“No. You?”

“Yes. His name was Artic F-”

“Artic Fox?” The boy smiled. “I know him. A little over two months now.”

Heero looked at the boy across from him, long bang covering half his face. Tall and slim, deceptively muscular. “Your Trowa aren’t you?”

Green eyes narrowed, “So you’re the Wing he talks about huh?”

“Guess so.” They were silent for a while each beginning to unpack their weaponry to clean and check over.

Trowa spoke again, “What was the mission for when you two were together?”

“Termination rog rogue assassin. He was one of the best, but he was going to reveal the entire society.” Heero stared at all his clean guns, admiring the slight shine along the barrel.

“So, you have a name Wing? Seeing as you know mine.”

Wing turned from his bed and weaponry, “Heero actually, No last name for you.”

“That’s fine.” Heero looked over at Trowa’s collection of weaponry. Knives were his weapon of choice, daggers too. Heero was admiring the bunch laid across the bed.

“Where do you keep all these during a job?”

“An assassin does not reveal all of his secrets even to another assassin. But my favorites are these three. The Saxon Parrying Dagger, Rondel Dagger, Italian Stiletto. The Italian Stiletto being my favorite, actually most assassins prefer it. All it takes is a quick stab, jab and go and no one knows who did it.”

After properly cleaning all weaponry they packed their tools away and sat on the beds facing each other. Heero quirked an eyebrow, “Target?”

“Wufei Chang.”

“Any plans?”

“Surveillance then strike.”

“Right. Lets get going then in the morning. He leaves his mansion at 9:00. Are you aware he has a body guard?”

“Yes, Tien Chang, looks almost identical to him.”

“What’s your policy for interferences like that?”

“I only kill the target, Heero. You?”

“Don’t worry I was looking for that answer. I have special. . . Interests for him.”

“Lets move out in the morning.”

“Right.”

******************************************************************************

“Welcome back.”

“Thank you.”

“We’re sending a second team of five in the morning. I want you to lead it.”

“I would love to. Elimination I suppose?”

“Yes”

“Targets?”

“Shingami, and Wisdom. Artic Fox is a capture and return.”

“If he resists capture?”

“Eliminate him.”

****************************************************************

--Dragon here--

“This is Power. Go”

-- There are plans to eliminate you soon. Shingami as well.--

“Time frame?”

-- Unknown. Possibly between twelve to thirty-six hours.--

“Your being targeted, most likely surveillance on you has already started.”

-- Copy that --

“Did you see the news.”

-- Any clues--

“I’m almost positive on whom it might be.”

--Good, Dragon out. --

The screen went blank and the blonde boy sat in darkness again. There was a knock at the door. “It’s me Artic Fox. Ice, let me in.”

Quatre‘s eyebrow quirked, that doesn‘t sound like Artic on the phone, “Where is Shingami?”

“Unloading the bags.”

“He has the key, you’ll just have to wait.”

“Fine.” Quatre relaxed slightly, sitting in a lazy boy he sighed softly.*BAN*BANG* the door splinter and the lock shot off. There was a huge man holding the shot gun that just blew the door apart. “Hello Cub.” entering the room he pointed the barrel right at the blonde form, sitting wide eyed in the chair. “You know I’ve enjoyed working with you over the phone al these years. That old man’s voice just sucks, but then again your never suppose to get emotional over killing your target. Good bye.”

“Bear don’ do this.”

“Too Late” There was sudden movement behind the man, he began turning but too late, a glinting object came at him, *Swish* *Thud* A second tall man came, no trace of blood from the kill although the sword that he carried was covered with blood, dripping in a pool at the tip of the blade.

Quatre sighed in relief, “Welcome Artic Fox. I’m glad you could make it.” Duo kneeled in front of the blonde looking him over. “I’m fine Shingami.”

Artic stilled slightly watching the sight, before switching his gaze to the beheaded man. “Who was he?”

“Bear. One of the oldest members of the assassins. 37 last I checked.” Quatre watched as Artic began going through the pockets and searching the body over, before pulling out a key.

“Bingo. I can go search the place. I suppose we are suppose to relocate anyways?”

“We will be in an office building basement area. To meet the aid behind this project.”

“Who might that be?”

“Code name is Dragon.” Quatre shifted slightly in his chair.

“Never heard of him.”

“He’s a new assassin. He joined just a month ago.”

“How can he be trusted.”

“He was the one who clued me in to my close run in with death that caused me to call you and Shingami here to protect me and help remove those abusing the society and turning each person on each other.”

“How can I trust you?”

Duo growled softly eyes narrowing in a deadly glare, “You wouldn’t be here if you didn’t trust us.” Quatre placed a hand on his arm.

“ I have no answer to give you. I just hope you trust us. We must relocate to the building in possession of Wufei Chang, there is a back entrance, they should know who you are and let you in. You check the hotel room of this dead guy. We need to get this meeting over before theassiassins get on our tail.”

“Roger that.” The three of them exited the room, cleaning it out before leaving, leaving he motionless body and head behind.

******************************************************************

“Go”

“Panther here. Surveillance done. Assassinate tomorrow.”

“Copy that.”

“Over and out.”

Trowa closed his cell phone, tossing on his bed, as Heero came out of the shower with a towel around his waist. “Assassination tomorrow.”

“I know.”

“We enter through the ventilation system.”

“Check.” Heero placed boxers over himself, then proceeded to once again began to disassemble and reassemble each gun.

“We have new mission orders.” Heero paused quirking his eyebrow at the still teen. “Apparently there are going to be several assassins running through that building tomorrow. A big mission going down. We are ordered to kill any who prevent us from are mission objectives.” The two were silent for a minute.

Trowa spoke softly, “Artic is on a mission right now.”

Heero sighed, “No emotions when killing.” Sitting silently for a moment he spoke again, “I wont kill Artic if you won’t kill Wufei’s body guard.”

“Deal.” Trowa gazed into the deadly cobalt eyes from across the room, “Why?”

“I still have to have to tame my Dragon.”
