> "Crap, where are they? AND WHAT DID HE JUST SAY!" he shouted
>out.
> "Geez, calm down! He just said the next matches…"
> He turned around and saw a man with braided blonde hair and
>purple eyes.
> "Who's up now?"
> "I don't know…I didn't catch it all. Some person named Mikami
>and some other guy…"
> "Ya, well thanks anyway…" He started to walk away.
> "Once again! Last call for Noname-san!" came a voice on the
>loud speaker.
> "Shit!" he ran for the center ring.
>
> "I knew it! He chickened out!" Mikami-san stood at center
>ring, patiently waiting for his target. He looked down at his belt,
>checking the safety on his gun. When he looked up, a figure jumped
>over the audience and into center ring.
> "Good! Noname-san made it to the ring. You two know the
>rules…go for it!" the referee said to them both.
> "I see you made it. I thought you'd chicken out." Mikami-san
>looked at his target and grinned. "No comment? Too bad…any last
>words?"
> "Leave now, and I promise I won't kill you…"
> "Heheheh…Let me think about this…"
>
> "Let me think about this…" The assassin looked up at the roof
>of the tent as is thinking it over. "NO!" As he shouted out the
>words, Mikami pulled out his gun and fired it to where he was
>standing…
> *BAM*
> …But he wasn't there. At the last second, he jumped up and
>onto one of the tent wires. When Mikami looked up, he jumped off
>the wire, backflipped, and…
> "KAMEHAMEHA!"
> …Shot out a beam of energy which he had been storing for
>fifteen minutes. When the beam hit, Mikami-san only wobbled a bit.
> "HA! That your best shot? How pathetic!"
> *Shit…*
> "I thought you were Umbrella's biggest pain! How
>disappointing…"
> *BAM*
> He dodged the bullet again, and pulled out his backup plan…
> *Never did use one of these…*
> Mikami dropped the gun and started attacking him. He easily
>avoided the punches, but then Mikami let his guard down and he
>acted. Mikami performed a spin kick at him, but he jumped over
>Mikami, dropping his coat on Mikami's head.
>
> "What the…"
> *His jacket? He throws his jacket on me?*
> Mikami ripped off the coat from his head and spun around to
>face his target.
> "?"
> A red ball shot out at him and sailed past him.
> "Bad aim…"
> Mikami was silenced when the ball shot around to the other side
>and back around his neck, a string attached to the ball.
> *Choking…yo-yo…strangling…can't…breathe…*
> Mikami grabbed at his neck, but the string was too tightly
>rapped around his neck that he couldn't get his fingers around the
>string.
> "I warned you…" were the last words he heard.
>
> He looked down at the strangled Mikami. Mikami's face a blank
>look. He bent down and took Mikami's pulse.
> "Still breathing…" he muttered to himself. He stood up and
>pulled out his lighter and flicked it on.
> *They won't mind him a bit burned…*
> Just as he leaned closer to Mikami, he remembered a report he
>saw once.
>-Report 1688439
> Japan operations going fine. No biological facilities yet, but
>are expected by the end of next year. Mikami heading pharmaceutical
>operations…-
> That was the important part of the document. Mikami was a head
>man. What circle he was in was the mystery now. He tried picking
>up Mikami's body, but was unable to do so.
> *Right…moxibustion thing…*
> "Did you kill him?"
> He turned and saw Ranma standing behind him.
> "No, he's still breathing…but I need to talk to him
>latter…could you throw him into he trunk of my car for me?"
> After debating on whether or not Ranma should put Mikami in
>his car, he led the way to the car.
> "Ok, after the tournament I need to talk with him…"
> Ranma and him went back to the tournament and went looking for
>Ryoko.
