Heavy footsteps rang out through the narrow corridor, echoing back and forth from the walls in an almost mocking way. The sound of footsteps belonged to a panic stricken man with deep green eyes and thinning ash blonde hair. Breathing heavily, this man was racing down the path, tripping over himself in a dire haste. Not too far behind, a second set of footsteps. You would have had to strain with all your might to hear... but they were there. Not nearly as fast or harried, but they were there.

The man threw a look over his shoulder as he ran and in doing so fell to the ground. He shrieked in a horrific agonizing manner and attempted to claw away along the metal floor. He was tired and sore from running, but he would not allow himself to give up completely. Once more he attempted to pull himself forward.

"I would quit now... if I were you," there was a feminine chuckle as the quiet footsteps came to a halt. If it was possible the man's eyes grew wider as he frantically pulled himself up in a sitting position.

"P-please no! I have a family, children, a-a wife!," he scooted away from his pursuer with cautious haste. "Please... please I... I... I-," his plea was silenced by the sensation of cold metal against his skin. Eyes wide with horror, the only sounds he could manage were half formed murmurs and apologies.

Almost like a ghost, she had evanesced in front of him, holding her gun with a steady hand up against his forehead. Her gray eyes, one the color of the sky before it rains and the other like a shadow cast on a hot summer afternoon, stared unblinking into his own.

"Quit your sniveling Ichiro... you disgust me," with a flick of her wrist she pulled her hand back and slapped his face with the gun. Smiling inwardly she placed it back against his head. Ichiro was grinding his teeth from the sting of the blow as he looked venomously up at the girl. "You know it has to be this way," she frowned in mock sympathy before throwing her head back and laughing, "But maybe if you beg me again I will make this as quick as possible hmm?" She suppressed a laugh and pushed the barrel of the gun hard against his skull.

"Go to hell Maekoneko," the man, Ichiro, growled at the girl who was to be his end.

"What do you know about hell?!," with a low snarl the girl called Maekoneko spun around, landing a kick to the side of Ichiro's head. He was sent skidding into the side wall of the corridor with his face raking against the metal floor as he went. Maekoneko strode to him and shoved a booted foot to the back of his neck. There was a sickening crack and a scream from Ichiro.

"DO IT ALREADY YOU ******** b***h! JUST DO I--," blood leaked onto the metal floor in a pool as Ichiro screamed out profanities. Mekoneko readied her gun in a calm fashion. There was a clicking sound and a long pause before the inevitable "bang". After that everything was silent.

She turned to go, but froze mid step. Very slowly her dark eye faded to match the shade of it's twin and she gasped. The smell of blood was everywhere. Spattered against the metal wall, pooled on the floor... she looked down shocked to find it on her clothing as well. Her body began to shake as the memories flooded like a storm into her head. She backed into the far wall and collapsed. Her eyes danced over the carnage and down to her hand.

"No...," she whispered at first but as she said it repeatedly it turned into a sob. She threw the gun to her left and covered her eyes with her hands. The smell was strong then and she pulled her hands away to see they too were covered in blood.
She slammed her fist against the wall and wept.
