Kuro hadnt been paying much attention when the job was explained. He had read about it enough to not give a right damn. The man he was speaking to apparently thought he was a god, because he acted so arrogant Kuro was damn tempted to rip his eyes out of his ass and eat his arms and legs, along with the ribs.... Mh... ribs. In any case, Kuro understood the job regardless of his lack of attention. Guard some bitch until the deal is done. He didnt really give a damn about the girl or the deal, whatever it was about. He didnt even know or care what Lacrima was. Probably some shitty drug that caused hallucinations. Bah, why anyone would want to lose touch with reality was far beyond Kuro. Reality was beautiful, regardless of whether you were light or dark in personality. If you didnt believe it, you simply didnt look hard enough, so look harder. Kuro sighed, walking with the little girl and her two guards who acted far more like nervous lil shits than any kind of guards.
Kuro spoke to one of them, the one holding their earth sword. "Honestly I dont like things like Lacrima, but I need the money pretty badly." Kuro sighed.
Earth-guy responded slowly, and hesitantly "Well... we could pay you for a favor." Earth-guy had a pretty neat sword, really, but Kuro had to wonder if he could kill the man in secret for it. Come to think of it Fire-guy did too... Maybe he could kill them after the job was done. He may need them later.
Fire-guy nodded. "Yeah, this girl owes a few certain people quite a bit of money... if you catch my drift." Oh, so he was suggesting they decided to betray their client... what a fucking dumbshit. Kuro was smarter than the average genius, and knew that anyone who was willing to betray the person they are guarding would have to be at least decently connected. Maybe they actually had enough money for him to buy his own sword...
Kuro grinned. Oh he had caught their drift indeed. Fire-guy, who he would refer to as Fuku, and Earth-guy, who he would refer to as Lily, were both interested in money. That was good. "I may just take you up on that offer. I want my money though, how much money are we talking though?"
Fuku looked towards Lily, a questioning look on his face. "How much is her bounty?" That tipped Kuro off. People like Kuro, who cared about money or revenge, didnt refer to their rewards as 'bounties'. Bounties were for those goody-two-shoes like Fairy Tail. Everyone in the black market was avoiding them for the moment... Good. Kuro fell back behind the two, who barely even noticed. "Guys, go on ahead Ill catch up, gotta go use the bathroom. Keep an eye on Alixia or whatever the hell she goes by." Fuku and Lily nodded in acceptance. Amusing.
Kuro fell back, actually using the bathroom because he didnt like to lie, before catching up and shadowing the group. For the most part, they were acting normally, however, he could feel the disgust from Fuku and Lily when they passed a slave market, and a black magic shop. These two were definitely not from a dark guild then, meaning they were far from his allies. This was bad. Two mages who each had different elements and weapons... two mages who thought he was a good guy. Hilarious in thought, but potentially very helpful to Kuro's newly formed plan.
Revealing himself, he walked between the two undercover liars. "Thanks guys, got caught up in a bar brawl, damn ruffians." Though he was far from a famous actor, Kuro was no slouch at faking things. Internally, he was grinning sadistically. Were these two seriously trying to kill Alixia? What did it matter, they were almost to the... oh. Fuck. Kuro noticed how close they were to a dark alley, the perfect spot for an ambush. If he let them get passed that point, it may be an ambush, which he could not deal with without putting Alixia at risk. Kuro, in an act of desparation, put his hand on Fuku's shoulder, instantly sending electricity through his body. In an instant, Kuro ripped Fuku's sword from its sheathe, stabbing Fuku in the center of the abdomen, severing his spine. He would die rather quickly from such a wound.
Lily was too distracted by his friend's gurgling screams for help, which were quiet enough for only the small group to hear, before Kuro stabbed Lily in the throat, pinning his corpse to the ground. Alixia stared on in horror as one of her guards killed the other two. Then Kuro did something that scared little Alixia even more. He ripped the arms off of each of the brothers, putting them in a... in a freezer bag, while chomping on one of the knight's hearts. He had then stolen each of the brothers' swords, attaching them to his waist. Kuro began to laugh "Tchahaha. Fuku and Lily were going to betray you and likely either kill or arrest you. Believe me or dont, I dont give a right damn, lets just finish this, eh?" Alixia had not seen much worse, but had heard of far worse, specifically when it considered someone named Rekka, so she was not too shocked to move, though was thoroughly disgusted by Kuro's constant eating of the heart.
They finally reached the area they were supposed to trade the Lacrima for the money. Kuro was still under the impression that Lacrima was drugs, hilariously. If he had known it was explosive material, he would have just stolen it and killed every witness before looting their corpses, and likely having a nice meal of it. Unfortunately, he did not know, so he assumed it was drugs and did not care to hear otherwise. So long as he got a meal, two swords, and paid, he couldnt care less at the moment. At least Alixia and her boss were happy with the outcome of the job. Especially when Alixia's boss realized he no longer had to pay for the two idiots. All in all, Kuro couldnt have been happier with the outcome unless it made him magically all powerful and all knowing. That would be awesome...
