Side Story 2: Kurokumo Clan

Ishmael, again, decided to bring Kiya on a friendly date. With her insisting it was neededly, he begrudingly came with.
What she did not tell him, is that Heathcliff would be accompanying them too.
And that they actually had someone to kill, but she kept that under wraps for a reason.
Kiya Kurokumo Clan
I don't know why you came with us. Don't you know it's the Captain's orders that only I keep by her side?
Heathcliff Kurokumo Clan
Lad, I can't resist free food. Can't help it. We barely get to hang out like this anyhow!
Kiya Kurokumo Clan
Who said it was free?
There they were again, bickering in the restaurant. Loudly, even. It was annoying.
Yet somehow Ishmael can't help but think that she wouldn't want it any other way.
If it was someone like Outis, she'd be here for hours.
Kiya Kurokumo Clan
Listen here. Clearly she picked me because of my efficiency.
Kiya Kurokumo Clan
You're only coming with because...
Kiya Kurokumo Clan
....
Heathcliff Kurokumo Clan
Go on. Say it. I'm listenin'.
Kiya Kurokumo Clan
Because I like you? I guess??
Heathcliff Kurokumo Clan
There it is!.
Kiya Kurokumo Clan
That does not mean anything!!!! It's not an excuse either!!!
Ishmael Kurokumo Clan Captain
Hah...
She can't help but turn away from them. Not because she was annoyed. Maybe a little, but because she had to focus. A man in the table nearby stares at the two before her.
From the looks of it, he has a concealed weapon. It will only take a few more steps until he strikes.
Heathcliff Kurokumo Clan
What, were you gonna tell me something else? You looooove Heathcliff!
Kiya Kurokumo Clan
NOT what I said at all.
Heathcliff Kurokumo Clan
Don't gotta say it. You just gotta leave it in the air.
Heathcliff Kurokumo Clan
And plus! She doesn't mind. Ain't that right, Captain?
Kiya Kurokumo Clan
Don't disturb the Captain, she's clearly embarrassed of this!
Heathcliff Kurokumo Clan
Sure is nice that you can tell!
Heathcliff Kurokumo Clan
Why don't you let her speak for herself? Huh?
Kiya Kurokumo Clan
That is unnecessary when there is a right hand over here. It's ME!!
Just as they continue, Ishmael unsheathes her weapon. Then, she stands up with a calm look.
??? Failed Fixer
You BASTARDS!!!!
Heathcliff Kurokumo Clan
What-?!
With one, swift motion, she slices the attacker's head right off as he makes a failed attempt to attack her.
Blood splatters everywhere, all over their table. They were lucky to have finished eating.
Both Kiya and Heathcliff look at the mess, with varying levels of shock. Then, Kiya turns to Ishmael.
Heathcliff Kurokumo Clan
Captain, are you alright?!
Heathcliff Kurokumo Clan
Yeah, that guy had a knife on him! You're not hurt, are you?!
Ishmael Kurokumo Clan Captain
You know very well I'm fine.
Ishmael Kurokumo Clan Captain
We're done here. I needed that guy dead anyway.
Heathcliff Kurokumo Clan
Wait...
Heathcliff Kurokumo Clan
So you took us here to kill someone and didn't tell us?!
Heathcliff Kurokumo Clan
Seriously...We could've made it real fun for you, too...
Heathcliff Kurokumo Clan
That's not the point-!
Ishmael Kurokumo Clan Captain
Honestly, I just wanted to get it over with. No big deal.
Ishmael Kurokumo Clan Captain
Besides.
She flicks both their foreheads with her gloved hands, smiling.
Heathcliff Kurokumo Clan
Agh!
Heathcliff Kurokumo Clan
Hey!
Ishmael Kurokumo Clan Captain
You two were enough of a distraction anyway.
Ishmael Kurokumo Clan Captain
Don't ever change.
So the Captain leaves, her two best friends left dumbfounded.
...At least they helped, in some way.
