Everything is Permitted (Kyle and Hiro)

Spoiler:

Kyle stood on the outskirts of the village awaiting her new underling. If he was correct, the boy's name was Hiro. Of course he was considered low ranking, maybe Hiro won't be able to keep up if he worked on this job with him. Either way, this was business. Kyle got the order to kill Major Heracles. Kyle had some personal business with him though. He stuffed his hands in his his pockets as he awaited his lackey. "Why is it I always get the ones that take their time?" Kyle asked aloud. He looked over at the pathway he took. He had expressed to Sin to release Hiro and tell him to meet Kyle at the village for his first time on the job with Savage Skull. However, Kyle was gone too long. So he may be wrong about him. "This kid has the potential to be under my pillar, he needs to understand the rules about it." He looked out at the crowd understanding that he had to keep a low profile. He wondered if Hiro would understand that he would have to keep a low profile as well. "I know he's probably upset that he is in this guild, but this is better than nothing." He gripped his fist wondering what he would have to say to the boy. He gripped his teeth. That kid was an adult, but he carried himself in a rather immature way.

Hiro kept himself a distance away from his apparent boss. The curse on him had been moved from he’s stuck to being around the guild, to he’s stuck to being around Kyle Vay. Hiro really didn’t want to be anywhere near this guy and was trying to keep himself as far away from him as possible. Kyle already smelled of blood and Hiro knew if he killed him his soul would be delicious, coated in the blood of his innocent victims. That would only tempt Hiro to kill him due to satanic instinct. Devil’s are programmed to target specific people to kill. For Hiro’s case, it was people who had committed heinous crimes. This was a rarity, as most devil’s seemed to enjoy killing more pure people. Perhaps Hiro’s more saintly origins on his mother’s side caused a mutation of some kind? It’s not like Hiro thought of things like this to such detail but he did know the basic issue he was having. Also he didn’t like the guy. He just didn’t like Kyle at all.

Hiro felt that the maximum range he could stay from Kyle was probably somewhere between 200 to 300 meters. He really wasn’t sure exactly how far but it didn’t matter, he just knew it was easier to tell when he reached maximum distance then it was at the forest where everything looked so similar. Also, why did they HAVE to go somewhere surrounded by water? Did that pink haired bitch decide not to tell anyone that she only caught him because he almost drowned? Hiro couldn’t freaking swim. Even if that wasn’t a confirmed thing he still didn’t want anything to do with this place and wanted to leave as soon as possible. It’s not like they wanted to kill the same kinds of people anyway.

Kyle grinned when he sensed his underling. The poor boy had never gone on a job with Kyle, so he never got to here his story. He blended himself into the crowd disappearing from Hiro's view. He made his way back towards Hiro and quietly came behind the mage. "No thank you?" Kyle said leaning against a tree. The closed eyes mage looked down at Hiro who followed Kyle only to stay away from him. "Of course, no thank you." He sighed and looked out towards the crowd. "I wouldn't blame you. However, I couldn't allow you to go into the freak show pillar or even the two crazies' pillars." He sighed as he looked at the innocent people walk by unknowing of who they were going to assassinate. "You know you're lucky you're still alive."

"No Kyle!" Kyle looked over to see a beautiful woman standing there. Did she just appear? Kyle's red eyes opened wide as she looked her up and down. She stood there with her arms crossed. Her beautiful green eyes seemed red with anger. Her black hair lingered down to her thighs. Those thighs... Those beautiful legs. Legs... "YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S LUCKY TO STILL BE ALIVE!" She raised her hand and sent a slap so hard to his face that it knocked him down to the ground.

"Carrie..." Kyle said aloud rubbing his cheek. "I can remember those thighs and that slap any time now." Kyle sighed and watched her scoff and then walk away. He then leaned his head to watch her walk away. "That sashay of the hips... I might just have to rekindle that flame at the end of this mission." He said with a grin. "I wonder what story I will tell her. Usually the truth always help even though they never believe me." Kyle was wry about what he thought he would say. "Usually the whole, I was forced to join a dark guild and you won't ever want anything to do with me after you hear what I've done, always helps." Kyle looked down at Hiro and opened his eyes. "That's one thing you can get from being forced to join this guild. Tail."

Hiro listened to the assassin as the curvaceous woman walked away with a little swagger in her step. “I already have a tail what are you…Oh you’re talking about ass. Not like it matters since I can’t go anywhere anyways, if I could I’d be long gone by now,” Hiro realized after a moment of thought. Hiro started to walk off again. “Anyway I don’t care what happens to this guy you’re here to kill and there’s nothing in it for me. I’m not interesting in killing innocent people so I’ll just stay out of your way,” Hiro called out and waved as he began to walk away. Unless Kyle had some way of proving this guy they were here for was as disgusting as the rest of this nut job guild he was in, there was nothing Hiro could care about. He didn’t care about Savage Skull and what happened to it so unless he was given actual prey he wasn’t going to go around helping these guys out, especially not without something reasonable in return. He couldn’t go anywhere so money had no use to him. Unless this guy’s soul was black enough for Hiro to see as edible and tasteful he wasn’t interested in helping.

Kyle looked at Hiro and smirked. "You can go where ever you like when you're under my pillar Hiro. Just know you do have a 72 hour limit to come back, or I will have to track you down." He stood out looking at the target. There he stood. Rather tall and buff. Kyle frowned looking at this armored knight. "There he is... Major Heracles." He looked at Hiro and sighed. "You know, everyone sins, no matter what. This man here... Is full of pride. Something that makes him blind to what is going on." Kyle took out a file from his jacket revealing the man with a smirk. "Heracles was a Savage Skull member. A follower of the Lichborne gone rogue. He took a deal from the Magic Council. To reveal all about the Lichborne and perhaps come into the guild again. Which I highly doubt when the Lichborne was defeated." He looked back at Heracles. "That man has more information on Savage Skull and has done things in their name. Meaning that he is slathered in a gravy of sin." He turned his head to Hiro. "So it is our job to turn around and get rid of this guy. According to our master, his usefulness in the Rune Knights and lack of return has called for a debt he needs to repay." Kyle shut the file and then put it back into his jacket. "The problem is getting around the guards. We need to quietly take down the guards and finally Heracles." He raised his arm and formed a sand smoke bomb in his hand. "We're going to split up. It's better that we flank the guards. Throw this out if you have any trouble. It will blind them and I will be able to move straight towards you."

So he’s one of you guys huh? Hiro thought as he virtually ignored all the details after ‘he was a member of savage skull’. That and the appearance of the soul Hiro saw in this man was plenty enough to know he had at least some good prey to hunt. “Alright alright,” Hiro caved as he got irritated by all the talking the red eyed pain in the ass was doing and took the sand bomb. “If I distract the guards you can take care of the rest right? Let me know when you’re done what I want out of this, that Heracles guy has,” Hiro explained as he referred to Heracles soul without directly saying it. Giving away the fact he was half devil and not just some everyday demon was not something Hiro wanted to do, especially to guys who could benefit one way or another from having a devil’s power available to them.


Hiro continued to walk away after that. Looking around it would be easy for him to distract all the guards. Hiro looked around for the most desolate house in the village. Eventually he found it and slipped his way inside. It was made out of the same flammable materials every other house here was made of as Hiro began to glow a pale blue and he let his flames burst out for a moment and he placed his hands on the driest part of the building. “Alright then let’s get this over with.” Hiro said bluntly and set the house on fire. Hiro quickly snuck back out of the house and crept away. His flames weren’t extinguishable via water so being a village in the middle of a river wasn’t enough to keep his flames at bay. Hiro quickly suppressed his satanic powers and tucked his tail back into his pants as he ditched away from the burning building yelling FIRE! FIRE! from the most well hidden spots he could find to make sure everyone knew about the imminent danger and get the attention of all the guards who would have no choice but to help.

Kyle looked at Hiro. "Good diversion," He silently made his way into the crowd looking for the target. It was going to be a tough one, especially with all the commotion. He made his way through pushing people aside. However when he stopped he was surrounded by four knights. The closed eyes mage looked at each one. They were not amused by his antic.

"You're acting suspicious, you must be the one that started the fire." They all said looking at him.

Kyle gave an appalled look. "Oh my gentlemen, you have me mistaken." He said shrugging. "I'm but a humble sand magician. I make my living off of the sand sculptures I have made for many people." They were not moved at all by his excuse. He sighed and looked around for Hiro. Ah there he was. "You see that boy over there?" Kyle said with a grin. "If you all were doing your job and paying attention. You would have noticed that he was the one that caused it."

The knights looked towards the kid that ran into the crowd. They turned their eyes back to Kyle. "You guys split up and detain that kid. We'll stay right here." The soldier said. They held their weapons up. Kyle sighed. He wasn't going to get through with out a kill and taking down the captain was going to be harder than he thought. He took out his left and and sand formed into an orb. "WAIT! HE HAS A WEAPON!" All the mages shouted at him as he smirked and threw the sand ball down to the ground creating a cloud of dust and sand around the group. All of them began to cough. Kyle sighed as he silently made a hidden blade under his wrist.

He made his way around the circle of soldiers as they were blinded and dumbfounded by his smoke bomb. Outside of the dust bomb area a person could hear the ripping of flesh and the gurgling of humans on their own blood. Kyle delicately made his way outside of the dome of dust and put the blade back under his wrist. He walked into a crowd of people. As the dust cloud disappeared four dead illusion mages fell to the ground. Each with their throats slit. Kyle walked away with a smirk undetected by anyone, but the screams of civilians could be heard as they found the bodies.

Now there was a fire and dead bodies. Obviously the captain was going to be a chicken and not make his way out of his strong hold. This was going to be a bit of a problem.

“huh?” Hiro looked over to see guards running towards him and none other than Kyle Vay right behind them. “You asshole I’ll kill you!” the devil yelled as he bolted as fast as he could. Now he had to deal with these pests. Different from Kyle though, he wasn’t exactly a trained or even willing killer aside from people who were well, at least as disgusting as Kyle. He couldn’t just keep running though, they probably had the city on lockdown now or at least as best they could and well, Hiro couldn’t just swim away. He couldn’t swim at all.


Hiro looked around hoping he could find something to slow down the guards or get them out of the way. He was willing to use his magic but would prefer not to. Showing off in broad daylight was not a good idea since he didn’t want to be a known outlaw like Kyle and his very existence warranted that if his devil origins were discovered. Unfortunately Hiro wouldn't have much of a choice in the matter since he couldn't just dodge and duck through alleyways like he could in a regular town or city.


Hiro heard the screams in the distance which got some of the pursuing guard’s attentions. Hiro used the opportunity to quickly unleash his flames as they lashed and flickered around his body violent. Hiro immediately put his hand out infront of him, arm fully extended flames began to condense in front of his palm and were fired outwards towards one of the guards, hitting him before he had any chance to reaction before quickly putting his flames out and returning to running away, doing his best to conserve his magical power since he was obviously more limited than Kyle was in that category, much to his dismay, especially since he had no choice but to admit it. The other guards were caught by surprise by the sudden attack and it gave Hiro a good head start as he reached back and tried to put his tail back in his pants so they had nothing to grab.

Kyle began to make his way through the running people. He was being knocked and pushed to the side and forward so it was rather hard. Kyle sighed as he began to make his way through the crowds and into the fray where Hiro stood. He saw a rune knight about to stab Hiro. So he ran in front of the sword. However there wasn't a sound of flesh being ripped that could be heard. Instead, the sound was of a simple butter knife sifting into sand. The Rune Knight stood in front of him with a shocked look. "Really? You're going to be shocked that a sand mage has this power?" He Walked up to the Rune Knight and slit his throat with his hidden blade. "Hiro... Cover your eyes." He said fiercely. He threw down another sand bomb and the Rune Knights started coughing. Once again, the sound of flesh could be heard ripping as he took down the rest of the guards surrounding them. He grabbed Hiro by the arm and the two disappeared into the crowd. "Alright Hiro, I need your talents. You see the sand blade is only good for slitting throats, but I have an idea." He smirked. "You and I are going to make a good team if you use your flames to sharpen my blades. Sure they may be a bit brittle, but they are far more silent as darts." He then took a brick house and slammed his hand into it. He formed a massive pile of sand and then created a blow pipe. Then created 50 separate darts to take down the next set of guards.

Hiro felt he had gotten away as he ducked in and out as best he could and blended into the crowd. He had tried his best but unfortunately he missed one of them as he heard a shout. “DIE DEMON!” Hiro looked to his side to see one of the knights thrusting his blade at him. Shit! Hiro thought but it was too late, he wasn’t going to have time to dodge the already moving blade. Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately from Hiro’s point of view, Kyle ducked in and took the blow with his sand body, completely unharmed, and quickly took down the knight.
 
“I’m not thanking you,” Hiro retorted, acting like he  was going to be fine though at best he survives the attack with a severe torso injury. Regardless Kyle continued, requesting Hiro use his flames to sharpen his knives. Hiro really didn’t want to, because using his flames actually used up power. “Tsk. Fine,” Hiro conceded as his body burst into flames and he put a blaze to a few of the knives at a time. It was a pain to sharpen blades that could cripple so easily, especially with a flame that wasn’t exactly a natural flame and solely existed to shatter and destroy.

"I don't need your thanks," Kyle said through his gritted teeth. He looked out towards the guards who started to surround him. "Hey here's your on man killer right here!" Kyle shouted. He gave a grin at Hiro. "You should run," Kyle said and then jumped on top of the roof.

Immediately three guards turned around to see Hiro. If Hiro started to run, they would pursue him. Hopefully his fellow pillar member would start running towards the area Heracles considered his fortress of solitude. A temple looking home with guards all surrounding it. Kyle made his way under ground and then clambered up to the roof top. He ran forward then took a knee. He aimed the pipe at the guard nearest to him and took him out. Hopefully Hiro would get the hint, that this was the plan. Rush in. Bait out Heracles and take him out from above. He then hit the remaining two guards. He can use these people to throw them in the way of guards, Kyle though. He should be fine on his own.

Darts Remaining: 47
Guards Remaining: 17
Civilians Running around: 50

“I HOPE YOU DIE YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT!” Hiro yelled at Kyle as he flew off into the sky after dragging all attention to him. Hiro simply acted in response like any rational member of a gehennan royal family, and chased after him with intents on bloody murder. Fortunately for Kyle, this was the direction he wanted Hiro to go in and if not he could easily direct the blind, rampaging, chibi powered devil wherever he wanted to direct him simply by keeping himself in Hiro’s sites.

Hiro wasn’t so blinded by rage he outright ignored the guards however. As they appeared in front of Hiro to try and slash him with their swords Hiro ducked away, jumped to the side, in an attempt to avoid them. As another appeared and tried to slash him Hiro jumped the blade and stepped on the guards face, using that as a platform to jump higher and try and reach the beach front assassin. Hiro didn’t even come close as he landed back down on his feet and continued to sprint. The guards behind him checking on their comrade who now had a footprint singed into his face as Hiro followed Kyle towards their target unwittingly, yelling Kyle’s name at the top of his lungs with rage.

Kyle looked back at Hiro and laughed. He grabbed his gut and rolled around giving a huge grin. He then turned his attention on a couple of guards. "Some Pillar of Shifting Sands member you are Hiro, if you can't keep up with me." He said looking down at him from the rooftops. He grabbed a sand grenade. "Hey kid! Shield your mouth!" He tossed the grenade to the ground and it exploded into a cloud of sand. The five guards around Hiro all fell to the ground as a dart when straight into their heads. Their eyes were blank with no emotion as the laid in the ground. Civillians still screamed all around them. "Do me a favor, keep the casualties at a minimum, Kid." Kyle said with a smirk. He then looked out into the distance to keep an eye on his target. There he was fortressed in the rest of the guards. He then sighed and looked down at Hiro. "Seriously you and I are going to have to do some obstacle training if you want to continue down the path I have planned for you." He said with a smirk. "I tire of assisting you. Control your anger and actually be useful this time." He jumped over to another roof. "MURDERER!! HELP!" He screamed out as the two neared the fortress Heracles set out for him. Six guards then looked in Hiro's direction and ran straight for him. He spun his dart pipe in his hand and waited for Hiro to get the hint that he needed to use the smoke bomb.

Darts Remaining: 42
Guards Remaining: 12 (6 around Heracles, 6 headed for Hiro as a diversion)
Civilians Running around: 50
OOC: Better make this one count.

Hiro coughed frantically as some sand got in his lungs from the explosion. “D-Damn...geh…you,” Hiro somehow got through the fit of coughs. He just never could stand this guy and probably never would. Hiro kept up his little coughing fit as Kyle continued to give orders he didn’t want to follow and were barely orders to begin with as he expected Hiro to figure out everything he wanted him to do with minimal, if any, direction was so ever as if he was talking to someone intelligent enough in human interaction to figure out these sorts of things.


“I don’t even want anything to do with you, or did you forget that little tidbit?” Hiro stated clearly after the coughing fit, continuing to be difficult as Kyle called him a murderer again and ran off. “HEY GOD DAMN IT GET BACK HERE!” Hiro yelled but wasn’t quick enough this time as the six guards surrounded him with swords up.


“Tsk, shit,” Hiro muttered under his breath. He really didn’t want to depend on Kyle and the smoke bomb he gave him but he had no choice at this point as the six guards swarmed him in an attempt to overwhelm him. In return Hiro threw Kyle’s sand bomb into the ground releasing a large, wide, twenty five foot area sand based smokescreen that caught the guards off guard as Hiro bolted into a nearby alleyway to hide. At least in his mind, he wasn’t going to get any help from Kyle and despite not wanting to be here he didn’t have much of a choice as he simply kept himself near what Kyle saw as a ‘target’ and Hiro simply saw as ‘prey’.

Kyle watched as Hiro flew down the alley way to escape from the guards. He followed swiftly across the roof tops down to the alley way. He climbed down the scaffolding and reached out to grab Hiro by the collar, but the boy was too fast. He waved his hand a little bit more and then grabbed on to something that felt a bit like a short haired dog. He opened an eye and smirked. "Gotcha," Kyle said aloud as he hefted Hiro onto the scaffolding. Hopefully he could keep up as nimble as Kyle was and climb with him. It seemed like Kyle was a cat as nimble as he was taking the route less taken. He could hear all around the screaming citizens and the guards, who were now very confused as to where Hiro went. "I have to admit," Kyle said with a giggle. "You make a good distraction. You did very well. We just need to take out our man and get our prize." He held out a hand. If Hiro took it, Kyle would help him up off the scaffolding and onto the roof, however if he didn't he would just grab the mage by the wrist and help him up anyway. He walked over to the end of the roof they stood on and jumped over to another roof top with ease. He looked out to see the man Heracles standing there. "Hmmm... Now we can take him out with ease from here, but there is still one thing." Kyle pointed to the guards. "I am going to need a distraction. Far better than the performance you gave me last time, Kid."

Hiro let out a screeching ‘roar’ of pain as he felt his tail get yanked as he was pulled to the roof by his unfriendly slave driver. Kyle quickly went on to applaud Hiro’s ability as a decoy although Hiro was completely ignoring him, including when Kyle went on to tell Hiro he needed another distraction, which Hiro wasn’t interested in doing, regardless of whether he heard it or not. All he was doing was holding his tail gently, but in a defensive manner as a means to protect it. Having his tail pulled was worse than getting his manhood crushed and he’s experienced both.

“Damn you,” Hiro muttered through gritted teeth once more in this little debacle of poor teamwork between the two, mostly to the fault of Hiro. “I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU!” Hiro yelled at the top of his lungs, this time backing his talk as he extended his arm and fired a fireball at Kyle. Not long after that he shot forward at Kyle, his claws lashed outward as he jumped at Kyle and swung his arms in an attempt to rip the heart out of his chest, the blaze of his flames at full burst now. His ability to rationalize was slowly waning. If it disappeared, Hiro would turn into an indiscriminate monster bent on attacking anything that moved, blinded by his foolhardy rage.
