Chapter 7

3 months later

Leaping from roof to roof with my all-black outfit that is a black crop top with a black leather half coat and a mini skirt that enables me to jump and do all sorts, knives nicely placed in my knee-high sock's pockets at my sides. My hair was fairly pulled back, tied with a knot reaching my lower back. As the night breeze brushed at it a little bit.

I am also wearing black boots as l proceed with my mission. I need to reach there as soon as possible everything will be clear if l find that file.

Ring...

My cell phone rings as l take it from my pocket. It has been a month when l got this phone from town. No one even knows except her that l sneak out of that sickly place to enjoy some life outside or to say to do some investigation like now.

I look on the screen to see Hozumi calling.

"Mushi mushi"

"Sakura-chan where are you l told you not to go alone this time around get back now!"

"Calm down nothing will happen to me after all you are with Nagara right.."

" So what you know that guy is crazy he went out just now so you gotta come back like now."

Cutting off the line l continue to pursue my quest l can't back away now l am close.

Mother... Father l am about to know the cause of all this. I promise l will take revenge.

Seeing the tallest building here in Kyoto l know l am here. Looking at the building in front of me brings out some joy,l observe the staff as each and every one of them seemed to have weapons. Some in open with guns.

Luckily today there is a special recruitment for an accountant position.

From afar l could see some people dressed in formal clothes some being nervous knowing that going for the interview might be a worst of time.

Not forgetting my backpack l take out a formal attire and l hurriedly change into it removing my boots wearing heels as l charge at my target.

Entering the building brought some kind of uneasy feeling that everything might not go the way as l planned. I take a seat at the reception seeing some of the participants cry as they leave the room. I take out my resume as l look at my false details everything was made up thanks to Hozumi's help. She had been lending me some help for the past three months.

"Next is Shizuku Kenba"

"I am here"

"Come this way."

And that is my queue.l enter the interview not paying too much attention to it but to the interviewers. First, there is a blondie who kept leering at me.  He was wearing a white suit. From the information, l have gathered he is Anata Fidaku. The last-born child of Fidaku and the heir to this company. Then two women are not much of an importance l have to get close to the fourth person in the room the one who does all the dirty work.

Shiba Fidaku is the first child of the Fidaku. He was seated at the center there and there fixing his hair as he leans back on his chair.

"Miss Kenba is this really your real name?"

What? Am l caught red-handed or they are just testing me. There is no way that they know who l am.

"That Nagara bastard could not keep the dog on the leash." I hear Shiba talking. Shoot. They know him.

It was fast as the Anata guy moved as fast as lighting pinning me to the wall.

"You thought we were stupid hah...." he spat as he got uncomfortably close to me. Opening his eyes so wide that a fly would fit in.

"FIDAKU leave her." I hear his voice seeing him appear from the window watching me.

Everyone looked at him as he neared where they were sitting taking my fake resume and tearing it apart.

"Nagara so you have come to take her out of here now, "Shiba orders him right away as Anata pushes me towards him.

He grabs my hands tightly as we jump down me closing my eyes because l knew we were jumping from quite a height.

He never looked at me as we reached the Western-looking at the historic buildings in front of me.

"Do you want to die ?"

I am surprised by that sudden question."What?"

"You think taking some months of training with that stupid plank. Learning to leap from building to building. Dressing in that outfit makes you a warrior or a heroine. Fooling around with that friend of yours do you think l am stupid. Stop it now. This is a warning. I thought you would realise it yourself but going to them is a shortcut to heaven. And l think l have been too lenient with you starting from now you will always be within my sight not that you were not but to avoid this from happening again you will do as l say. I am also confiscating those. Now." He stretches his hands.

"What is it?"

"Don't try my patience hand me those knives."

I hesitantly reach for them as l handed them over to him.

"You are not allowed to go anywhere without my consent especially outside. Now that they know who you are l need to be more cautious.

Starting today you will be living in here."

"What?"

"Yeah you will sleep here do all your business don't take me lightly."

I feel defeated as l sit on the floor if l don't do what he says l will be a dead man.

It has been some time living here that l came to know they were all assassins and that they are in an organisation called Hyakio. I don't know much but l am sure he has killed so many people and l am sure the people l am looking for are somehow involved in this.

And my only chance to find out has been exposed.
