- Summary: Just a normal day at work for Tatsuya Sudou
Kato Teuro doesn't know how this all happened. One moment he was having a bowl of ramen and the next thing he knew there was a guy with a bag on his head standing at the end of an empty street. As if out of a horror movie from out of his trench coat, damn hellhounds came forth and started chasing him. Of course that's not even all of it, every time he thinks he gets away there is that guy just standing there again.
Kato didn't understand, this guy seemed to be the only person in the area. No one else on the streets, in any of the shops he tried to hide nothing. Just him, that weird guy with the paper bag and the hellhounds. Oh and there was that one ice cream shop with a little snow man enjoying an ice cream. That was really weird. Finally though Kato thinks he has found a way out of what he can only imagine is a nightmare. Bursting through a door of a roof, he quickly turns around and jams a bar under the door bracing it so it won't open from the inside. Breathing hard Kato laughs, "Can't get me now."
A sound of applause interrupts Kato's triumph, "Oh yes that would absolutely stop any pursuers, who weren't already on the roof. " Standing on top of the entrance to the roof is The Old Maid, also known to Kato as the weird guy with a paper bag over his head. From the shadows hellhounds step out surrounding Kato, as The Old Maid leaps down to stand face to face.
Kato keeps looking for a way out, there has to be a way, the panic, the fight or flight, the crazy guys sword swings, Kato winces preparing for the impact and then he suddenly hears, "Hey, I just met you, And this is crazy, But here's my number, So call me, maybe?" Kato opens his eyes as he is confused where that song is coming from and the guy, with his bag on his head pulls out a cell phone, the chorus still repeating. The bag head guy looks at Kato, "Sorry this is so unprofessional but I have to take this."
Elsewhere in the real world…
A black eye and a week of dizziness from a concussion. That's what Hiroki Sugimoto got left with after his latest challenge of Eikichi Mishina for the leader. But this challenge was different, after the first few the 'Devil Boss' had his so-called subordinates tell him he'd get him next time.
They still believed in him.
This time they just looked at him with pity before walking away, leaving him there on his ass. He was thinking of that /still/ as he stacked desks in the Kasugayama basement.
"/No one/ pities me, damnit."
Seeing the stairwell was well and truly blocked to prevent anyone from coming down, he was satisfied as he entered into the next room, where the school's architecture transitioned into old iron and rock from the foundation.
The old World War II Air Raid Shelter.
"I'll show his ass, I'll show everyone why you shouldn't underestimate the Devil Boss once I'm the Leader. Everything's going to change once I'm in charge."
Taking out an old flip phone, he checked for the signal, then walked around for a bit, "Here?" Then, "Nah... fuck. What's with the signal down here?" He kept walking, until he was near the blast doors and a single bar blipped.
"Heh-ahahaha... shit, here we go." As he dialed his own number in the phone, and raised it to an ear. It didn't ring, there was only the sound of connection...
Clearing his voice Sudou presses a button on his phone answering it but never says a word. Kato suddenly gets ready to shout but The Old Maid swings the sword back up to the poor victim's throat before holding his finger to the paperbags mouth to imply to Kato be quiet. All that can be heard is the out of breath sounds of Kato.
... and the Devil Boss would swear he heard breathing. Unsettled, he put on a brave face and started yelling into the phone. "I want him dead you hear me. /Dead./ Eikichi Mishina... you'll get it done right?"
The Old Maid smiles at Kato before he hangs up on the Devil boss, "And that is how it works. " The Old Maid focuses the big smile on the paperbag towards Kato before the voice from beneath the paperbag speaks up. "I am so sorry, business call, you know how it is. I appreciate you letting me take it."
The man turns and for a moment Kato thinks it is all over before The Old Maid snaps his finger and says, "Oh right. Almost forgot." Turning back around he throws a ball of fire at the poor guy launching him off the roof.
The Old Maid looks over the ledge and whistles as the echos of screams from the real world can be heard at the sudden appearance of a burning body falling from nowhere. Then one of the hellhound speaks up, "Was it really necessary to get him on the roof if you were just going to use fire?" The Old Maid turns and looks at the hound, "The fun was in the chase. Isn't that why you chase a ball?" The hellhound growls and turns to run back to the shadows done with The Old Maid's crap.
The Old Maid himself looks at the others and shrugs before he looks at the name again, "It appears our next victim is Eikichi Mishina"
Meanwhile back with the Devil boss after he has been hung up on…
There was a muffled sound of giggling on the other side of the Blast Doors, and Sugimoto stepped back, "Who the fuck is there!?" Silence…
... because Muu Shuuwuu had already flown away.
