> "Crap, where are they? AND WHAT DID HE JUST SAY!" he shouted >out. > "Geez, calm down! He just said the next matches…" > He turned around and saw a man with braided blonde hair and >purple eyes. > "Who's up now?" > "I don't know…I didn't catch it all. Some person named Mikami >and some other guy…" > "Ya, well thanks anyway…" He started to walk away. > "Once again! Last call for Noname-san!" came a voice on the >loud speaker. > "Shit!" he ran for the center ring. > > "I knew it! He chickened out!" Mikami-san stood at center >ring, patiently waiting for his target. He looked down at his belt, >checking the safety on his gun. When he looked up, a figure jumped >over the audience and into center ring. > "Good! Noname-san made it to the ring. You two know the >rules…go for it!" the referee said to them both. > "I see you made it. I thought you'd chicken out." Mikami-san >looked at his target and grinned. "No comment? Too bad…any last >words?" > "Leave now, and I promise I won't kill you…" > "Heheheh…Let me think about this…" > > "Let me think about this…" The assassin looked up at the roof >of the tent as is thinking it over. "NO!" As he shouted out the >words, Mikami pulled out his gun and fired it to where he was >standing… > *BAM* > …But he wasn't there. At the last second, he jumped up and >onto one of the tent wires. When Mikami looked up, he jumped off >the wire, backflipped, and… > "KAMEHAMEHA!" > …Shot out a beam of energy which he had been storing for >fifteen minutes. When the beam hit, Mikami-san only wobbled a bit. > "HA! That your best shot? How pathetic!" > *Shit…* > "I thought you were Umbrella's biggest pain! How >disappointing…" > *BAM* > He dodged the bullet again, and pulled out his backup plan… > *Never did use one of these…* > Mikami dropped the gun and started attacking him. He easily >avoided the punches, but then Mikami let his guard down and he >acted. Mikami performed a spin kick at him, but he jumped over >Mikami, dropping his coat on Mikami's head. > > "What the…" > *His jacket? He throws his jacket on me?* > Mikami ripped off the coat from his head and spun around to >face his target. > "?" > A red ball shot out at him and sailed past him. > "Bad aim…" > Mikami was silenced when the ball shot around to the other side >and back around his neck, a string attached to the ball. > *Choking…yo-yo…strangling…can't…breathe…* > Mikami grabbed at his neck, but the string was too tightly >rapped around his neck that he couldn't get his fingers around the >string. > "I warned you…" were the last words he heard. > > He looked down at the strangled Mikami. Mikami's face a blank >look. He bent down and took Mikami's pulse. > "Still breathing…" he muttered to himself. He stood up and >pulled out his lighter and flicked it on. > *They won't mind him a bit burned…* > Just as he leaned closer to Mikami, he remembered a report he >saw once. >-Report 1688439 > Japan operations going fine. No biological facilities yet, but >are expected by the end of next year. Mikami heading pharmaceutical >operations…- > That was the important part of the document. Mikami was a head >man. What circle he was in was the mystery now. He tried picking >up Mikami's body, but was unable to do so. > *Right…moxibustion thing…* > "Did you kill him?" > He turned and saw Ranma standing behind him. > "No, he's still breathing…but I need to talk to him >latter…could you throw him into he trunk of my car for me?" > After debating on whether or not Ranma should put Mikami in >his car, he led the way to the car. > "Ok, after the tournament I need to talk with him…" > Ranma and him went back to the tournament and went looking for >Ryoko.
