• When Hanma lit a cigarette, a guy came out of the nightclub, about a year younger than Shuji, but slightly taller than him by a couple of centimeters. He was wearing black trousers with a dark turtleneck that accentuated his slender athletic figure. He has dark brown hair, and gray ashen eyes. His name is Hiroshi Kikabidze, he is an assassin, he has already killed about 300 people in five years of his work. He is wanted, but no one knows what he looks like, because he often changes his appearance. Hiroshi He walked past Hanma, lightly brushing his shoulder, his hands were stained with blood. When he passed a man smoking a cigar, he licked the blood from his fingers, then his phone rang sharply. Hiroshi picked up the phone and said in a low tone, almost in a whisper, picking up the phone and going to the intersection*"Hello, Mr. Tadashiyama. Have I completed your order, when will you pay for the order? Hiroshi said, straightening his coat. listening carefully to the one who hired him*"-I will give you the money when you personally come, and now take on another assignment* Hiroshi"-But.. " "- I'll pay you three times more"* Tadashiyama did not have time to finish as Hiroshi interrupted him* "-Okay, I'm listening"Tadashiyama sighed heavily then continued"-Your next target is Hanma Shuji. He is the right-hand man, and one of the Kisaki family's yakuza gang. Now he's not doing it anymore, so you have a chance to kill him." * The caller said on the phone, Hiroshi listened attentively, and slightly looked out from behind the alley and looked at Shuji out of the corner of his eye."Okay, I'll take this case. And I think I've spotted the target," Hiroshi said softly, turning off the phone, he straightened his coat and ran his hand through his hair. He walked up to Shuji and smiled slightly"Hello, can you help? I'm not a local, and I seem to be a little lost. Hiroshi said in a quiet, neutral tone with a slight smile. He played his role very plausibly, Shuji looked at Hiroshi, and couldn't help but notice the dragon tattoo on his neck*

"Yes, I came here on business.Hiroshi said with a slight smile, calmly responding with a subtle note of amusement. After a while, when they went into the depths of the alley. Hiroshi continued to follow Shiju, playing the role of a lost man. He pretended to put his hands in his pocket, but with one hand he did not slip into the pocket of his coat, but imperceptibly grasped the handle of the pistol. He hadn't shown the gun yet, but just kept it ready. *

"Huh, I work as a butcher. I moved here because it's the perfect place to sell meat where there is none. Hiroshi said in a neutral tone, but there was a subtle note in his voice pleasure or fun, will he enjoy this moment. But when a cat ran by, running into the shadows, thereby weakening Shuji's attentiveness. Hiroshi approached Shuji with a quiet, almost muffled step. Hiroshi quickly took out his gun, removing the safety catch, but when he looked On Hanma, he also held out a pistol towards Hiroshi, you could say they pointed pistols at each other at the same time*

Hiroshi dropped the gun from Shuji's punch, but he didn't lose his head. He quickly dodged the man's hands, Hanma did not have time to blink as Hiroshi seemed to disappear. Thus losing his vigilance, he was quite fast, Kikabidze was standing behind Shuji, he took out a dagger from behind his waist, and hit Hanma on the carotid artery with the handle of a knife, he immediately passed out*"-Ha. How is it, he seems so serious and at first glance smart, but in fact a real fool. I wonder how your meat will taste."Hiroshi said, smug and with a touch of madness. Hiroshi is not only a serial killer but also a cannibal. He ate half of his victims, either killed them or ate them alive. As soon as he swung his arm to pierce his heart, he was interrupted by a phone call. He picked up the phone slightly annoyed"Hello? Mr. Tadashiyaba?" * he said with a question, the caller answered immediately*"Yes. What are you doing now? "Well, I'm kind of killing, aren't I?"* Hiroshi said with slight irritation, twirling his dagger in his other hand*"Listen to Kikabidze,Plans have changed slightly, don't kill him yet. I need him alive for a while. You should get a little information from him about the Kisaki family." "Why me?! I'm only killing, not...." * Hiroshi didn't have time to finish as the caller interrupted on the phone*"- It doesn't matter, you're very good at getting information for us. you have to get it any way you want, you have to gain his trust to get the information. I don't care how you do it, the main thing is to get this information "-But.. " Hiroshi didn't have time to finish speaking again as they immediately switched off, Kikabidze was annoyed "- Holy shit! Hiroshi said irritably, getting to his feet. And picking up the gun from the ground that he dropped during the fight, he then looked at Shuji"Hmm, you're lucky. What am I going to do with you now? "

Kikabidze looked at Shuji with a slightly raised eyebrow. Then he ran his hand through his hair, laughing nervously or crazily. He bent over Hanma's recumbent body. He abruptly grabbed him by the collar, pulling him slightly towards him, leaving a distance of several inches from each other's face

"Don't make a fool of me. I know people like you who offer anything in return for saving your life. But in the end, they either leak all the information to the police or to other groups. That's why you're lucky that I didn't cut your throat right away,"

Hiroshi said, holding Shuji by the collar with one hand and the dagger at the guy's neck with the other.After a few moments, Hiroshi loosened his grip on the man's collar slightly, running his index finger from his neck to his collarbone. his gaze was hungry and crazy, like an animal looking at a piece of meat

"Ah, you have such soft flesh, and the smell of your meat is so intoxicating~. I really want to taste it right now!"

Hiroshi said, removing the dagger from Shuji's neck and moving it to his collarbone. His devilish smile, he just wanted to bite off his flesh and eat him alive, literally. But then he remembered that he needed to keep his composure, because for Tadashiyama, he needs Hanma alive*

"-Huh.. It's a pity that I can't do it yet. But though, let's see..." * Hiroshi said, with a predatory gleam in his eyes. It seemed like Hiroshi was a wild beast that was roaming inside the cage trying to get to a piece of meat. His gray eyes, which looked like mist, stared into Shuji's eyes with a predatory gaze. Shuji's breath caught in his throat, but he was restrained, and braver than he really seems*

Hiroshi thought for a moment, then he removed the knife from his neck, but continued to hold him by the collar* "If you tell me some information. Then I'll let you go right away." * said Kikabidze with a slight smile on his face, he pulled Shuji's body by the collar so that their faces were several inches apart. His eyes narrowed predatorily*"Tell me where the Kisaki family keeps a valuable archive, in which all actions and income from the delivery of prohibited substances are written," Hiroshi said, watching Shuji closely, his misty eyes studying Hanma's facial features, and his further reaction. Perhaps he will keep his word to let go and not bother anymore, but on the other hand, his gut tells him that something is wrong here, and maybe he uses Hanma to his advantage*

"in which place exactly?Hiroshi said, in a calm but dangerously peaceful voice. Hiroshi watched Shuji's every move, as if trying to anticipate what he would do. Shuji hesitated to answer his question, but Hiroshi didn't rush him. He had a strange feeling, as if he was attracted to Shuji, not as to meat, but to something else.. That he couldn't tell exactly what kind of feeling it was. Hiroshi shook his head slightly to get rid of his thoughts, focusing on the answer that Hania would give*

Hiroshi tilted his head slightly to the side, examining Shuji from head to groin. As if evaluating him, and wondering if he should be trusted with this information* "-Hmm.. I should have taken you better to my Employer so that you would tell me all this yourself. Although, it would be a pity if he chopped up your pretty face." * he spoke in a neutral tone, with a drop of drama. Hiroshi thought for a moment, then he let go of Shuji's collar*"Okay, I'll let you go. But look, if this information turns out to be fake, or you tell the Kisaki family everything, then I will find you and shoot your head off."Hiroshi said, placing his finger in the middle of his forehead, looking into Hanma's eyes. The wind picked up slightly, Hiroshi sighed, then got to his feet, brushing off his sleeves, and picked up his pistol from the ground, putting it back in its holster. Kikabidze calmly left, hiding from the alley*

Kikabidze calmly left, hiding from the alley*

During this time, Hiroshi has already gone several blocks away. After about an hour of walking, he reached Tadashiyama's estate, and gave him all the information. When he did, he got his money, and headed home. Hiroshi lived in a quiet and peaceful area, usually the authorities don't stick their noses in there. As soon as Hiroshi opened the doors, his dogs jumped on him at the same time. Hiroshi fell to the ground slightly... stunned. Kikabidze sincerely smiled and laughed, trying to gently push his dogs away from him

"Hello, hello. Did you miss me?"

Hiroshi said with a friendly smile, getting to his feet, he had four dogs, the first was a German Shepherd, his name is Jiso, he is almost five years old. He took him from the orphanage the day before they wanted to put him down, because no one wanted to take him in. The second is two huskies, they are sisters. He found them as puppies two years ago, near the river they were wrapped in a box, someone unceremoniously wanted to drown them, One is called Ada, and her sister, with a small scar above Ado's eyebrow. Ado got a scar in the box, when Hiroshi tried to open the box, he accidentally scratched it. And Hiroshi's fourth dog, Akita Inu, Her name is Shitsu, she is the youngest, she is 8 months old. Hiroshi took it for himself when he killed one of his victims. Hiroshi closed the door behind him, and picked up Shitsu, and kissed her on her fluffy cheek

"How I missed you, I didn't bring anything delicious today. But I'll definitely bring it later."

Hiroshi said tenderly, putting Shitsu on the ground, he treated dogs like children. *

• Meanwhile, Hiroshi himself. Hiroshi was sitting at a table in one of Kabukicho's cafes. He was sitting at the table, relaxed, waiting for someone. While he was waiting, he decided to smoke, he took out one cigarette and raised it to his lips, then he tried to light it with a lighter, but the lighter, as usual, barely lit up. When the spark finally lit, Hiroshi puffed on a cigarette. Then his brother, his twin brother, sat down at his table. He was of the same build, height and appearance as Hiroshi. Except, does he have a little stubble, and does he look more serious?* - Hi bro, how are you? How's the family? Hiroshi said with a smile, taking a drag on his cigarette, Hikara, Hiroshi's brother. He smiled slightly as he looked at his brother* "Hello Hiroshi. Everything is fine with the family. Yes, and I'm fine. How are you doing? Hikara said, resting his chin on his hands, carefully watching his younger brother. Although he's only a minute older than him. Hiroshi smiled * "Yes, everything is wonderful! Listen, brother. Why did you invite me here? You usually don't just make appointments, and if you wanted to, you would invite me to visit you.Hiroshi said after finishing his cigarette. He looked at his brother with mild curiosity. Hikara thought for a moment with a thoughtful look, after which he sighed heavily * "No, it's nothing, I just decided to visit my brother." "hmm, I see" "Hiro, I want to ask you something."* Hikara said in a soft tone, abbreviating to his brother "- Yes, yes. of course! I'm listening." "... Hiro, I know it's none of my business, but, BUT. Did you join the Yakuza groups? Hikara said, in a serious but gentle tone. Looking around, no one hears them. Hiroshi looked at his brother, then he replied, "No, no. I am not a member of any groups. I've been done with this for a long time," Hiroshi said in a plausible tone, although he really has nothing to do with Yakuza groups. He's the one who's hired to kill a few people at most, and that's it. Hikaro frowned slightly, he didn't really believe his Brother"Hiro, just don't lie. You're always disappearing somewhere! "Yes, I admit I'm guilty. But I'm really saying I have nothing to do with these gangs. But yesterday, I was asked to find out information about the Kisaki family of one of their people. Of course I know who they are, but I've never dealt with them and I don't want to. The fact that I interrogated a guy yesterday was the last time I cooperate with gangs. By the way, I passed the information to my employer, and that's it, then I left. That kid thought I'd go there too, but I'm not in the Employer's group, and why would I do that? "* Hiroshi said with peace in his voice, leaning on the back of a chair. Hiroshi spoke softly so that no one would hear, Brother Hiro.

the next day. Hiroshi got out of bed and yawned sleepily, stretching his arms up. When he got out of bed, he accidentally almost tripped over his dog, he looked at what he tripped over, and it turns out that Jiso, his German Shepherd and the first dog were sleeping next to his bed.

"Oh, I'm sorry, old man. I didn't mean to hurt you,"

Hiroshi said, stroking Jiso, then got up and headed for the kitchen. First of all, he fed the dogs by pouring dog food on them, and then sat down himself. He brewed himself a fragrant coffee and picked up the phone, when he took a small sip, as he received an anonymous message, the number was not shown there, Hiroshi opened the message and read it.<Hello, I've heard about your services. Could you kill someone? Here, I'll send you a photo now. He's going to be outside today... > and an anonymous user wrote the address and photo of the one who needs to be killed. It was a middle-aged man, who looked like a bartender at a nightclub. And he will pay a good sum for his murder. Hiroshi, of course, agreed. When he put the phone away, he got up from the table. Then he sat down on one leg to pet his dogs before going outside

"It looks like I'm going to bring you some delicious meat today"

Hiroshi said with a smile, he is a cannibal, sometimes eats his victims, and also feeds this meat to dogs. He got to his feet and went to his room to change his clothes, after that he went to the address. This address was located on the outskirts, Kabukicho. There was a 24-hour bar there. Hiroshi was walking through the streets of Kabukicho heading to the address, and he decided to take a drag on a cigarette. He stopped for a moment to light a cigar, when suddenly he smelled a familiar smell. A scent that intoxicated his mind. He turned to the other side, and across the street, he saw a familiar face. Shuji, the one he interrogated last night, Hiroshi has a good smell, and he can smell it from a few meters away. When Hanma noticed him, Hiroshi smiled, he wouldn't be him if he wasn't smiling. He liked to play with his victims before killing them, but Shuji was a different case. When Shuji saw Hiroshi, his heartbeat quickened, Shuji was not a coward, he was very smart, and the best in the ranks of the Kisaki family, but last night for some reason he was not himself, and retreated like a pathetic coward. Shuji was uneasy that he had miscalculated so badly last night*
