Kotaro watched as the train pulled into the central station. He hadn't said a word or eaten anything since they got on the train. Instead he just slept and watched the passing svenery. He had to face it. He was lost in his search for his sister, and he was never going to find her. He sighed and made sure the bag was ready to go off the train. "We're here."

Nesmine uncoiled herself, and promptly slunk out of the bag that Kotaro was readying. "Finally?" She asked groggily, having spent most of the time trying to sleep in different more comfortable places. She rubbed at a bruise she had received while trying to sleep atop the edge of the bench, only to fall and hit her head.
"Man that train ride sucked. They never get better, not even with food." Standing up, Nesmine quickly forgot all about the situation, and began looking for said food. "I am kinda hungry, is there anything in that bag or did I eat it all... yup I ate it all. Can we get something to eat Kotaro?" She asked as they began to leave the train and head out to the station.

Hero cracked his knuckles as he walked through the train station, he didn't have anything to do today and that was rather odd. Seeing as well what he did he was almost always busy with people who wanted other people removed from the game called life, and he didn't judge them or asked them any questions about why they wanted them gone. Questions were something he had learned never to ask, the less he knew about the reason behind the better. Hero cleared his throat and came to stop he was standing in the middle of the station and he looked around. There had to be something for him to do, it sucked when he didn't have anything to do at all.
He placed his hands into his jacket pockets and picked up his feet again eyes closing as he let the sounds of the station fill his ears. Unlike most people his footsteps couldn't be heard at all, he was making sure of it making his footsteps light and quite. He didn't have a reason for it, but it always help to get a little training in on a day when you weren't working at all. However one thing was for sure walking with your eyes closed was a bad idea as he bumped right into a female(Nesmine) and tumbled back a few feet but manged to stay standing.
Hero opened his eyes and took his right hand out of his pocket moving some of his hair from his face, and letting his light blue eyes gaze at the female he had just bumped into. "Are you okay miss?" he asked his voice calm and cool and holding a gentlemen like tone of voice as he held out his hand, (assuming she had be knocked down on the ground which was most likely seeing as how strong Hero was). "I didn't hurt you or anything?"

Kotaro nodded at her request for food. "Yeah, I'll get us something to eat." He said exiting the train with his bag. When she bumped into a man, he quickly helped her up. "You alright." He asked before turning to the man. "Don't worry, she's far stronger then she looks." He said studying the man.

Nesmine gave her typical quirky smile as she stood up, being 6'4" she was a rather tall girl, especially for her age. "You okay there? From the looks of it, you don really seem used to bumpin into people. You didn't pick pocket me did'ja? 'Cause the money bag's over there." She casually explained, happy that she wasn't carrying anything of importance. He didn't look like the average thief, but one could never know in this day and age.
"Name's Nesmine," She said as she walked over to the man and helped him stand. "and you probably couldn't hurt me if you were runnin mister." She voiced confidently, happy to let her arrogance take the lead during this introduction.
Despite the fact that this man was indeed strong, the girl was hardly damaged, let along bothered at all. As she peered down at the new stranger, her green eyes flickered in the dark, shining as if they belonged to some cat or dog. There was no way that she was ordinary.

Hero blinked giving the same none emotionless stare that he normally did as he looked at the female who seemed unhindered by his bumping into her, and she even asked if he had manged to steal anything from her. "I'm not a criminal thank you." he said which of course was lie, what else would you call a man who killed people for a living other then you know...a Hitman. He placed his hand in his pocket and looked at the man who had walked out of the train after the girl had, "I see....a lot strong then she looks huh..." he muttered he was wanted to test that...but thought better of it. Up close and personal wasn't really his thing unless told to do, and as the female gave him her name Hero smiled.
He never gave out his first name only his last, "You can call me Heart, most call me Mr. Heart along with...other things." he muttered the most common other thing was of course his code name and the name rumors called him. The Shadow, and he would wish they could have come up with a better name for him. "Couldn't hurt you if I was running huh?" he asked, it was clear she had no idea who he was...which was perfect meant he was doing his job right. Hero took his right hand and again moved some hair from his face.
"Who is the man behind?" he asked, best to know everyone here at the moment made things easier though he wasn't one for names, names meant he could get attached and getting attached was wrong. No it wasn't wrong it just didn't help in his line of work, because he never knew who he was going to kill. Like his teacher...he had been Hero's first ever hit.

"My names Kotaro, Kotaro Kuya." He said giving a slight bow. This man seemed nice. Too nice. Although Kotaro was way to nice, he had never met another like him. Was it an act? Or was it a fact? He didn't know. But he wouldn't bother about it right now. "Would you like to join us for lunch Mr. Heart?" He asked. "I'm paying for it all and we would enjoy your company."

Nesmine couldn't help but have a stomach full of dread when Kotaro extended his offer for lunch to the man. 'Idiot' She thought as he spoke, hiding well her fear. Although she couldn't quite put her thumb on it, she had a bad feeling about this man, he was too strong, and too polite. Something about him screamed 'criminal mastermind', but there was no way Nesmine was about to tell Kotaro that in front of the accused. She was just going to have to be extremely careful, and hope that they didn't have a hit out on them.
"Yeah, it would be great to have you with us, Kotaro cooks really good food, and pleny of it!" She said trying to maintain her cheery voice. Perhaps this situation wasn't all bad, maybe he might know something about Lira, Kotaro's sister, and they could head off the next day on another lead. Still, there was no way this gentleman was anything near ordinary, he had easily bulldozed Nesmine straight over.
All in all, there would have to be an art to this, Nesmine knew she couldn't remain too suspicious for long, as she had a bad knack for revealing her suspicions and thoughts. It was best to forget about the warning signs, and simply hope that nothing bad happened to the two.

Hero placed his hands in his pockets and then looked at the named Kotaro, he could just turn down the offer of food and get on with his life...or he could eat with them and get a little bit closer to them ending up with having to pull the trigger if they ever happen to cross the wrong people. He let out a sigh, he just loved how life gave you choices that would end up harming you. There was also the chance that they were other Hitmen who were told to kill him, however the held no signs of such things. Besides looking them over he could tell at least the one in the back, the female might be...but that was just iffy.
He gave one last smile and spoke up, "Sure I'll eat with you." he said as he nodded his head, the few choices things had came into his head as he remembered some stuff about what his master had taught him. He was to be aware of everything and every emotion a human could fell, watch there body signs if they tried anything Hero could react. After all he had higher motor skills then the normal person, but that didn't always work. "So your cooking the food Kotaro that's interesting to hear. I myself happen to be a good cook." another came into his head.
When you wanted to see how much a person knew it was best to come up with a lie and see how the reacted to said lie. "You see I'm a cook for living." and Hero let his eyes watch them, "You should try my rice balls they are the best in Central." he said, and now the bait was set..see how they reacted. Maybe they didn't trust...and if they didn't he'd have to see how willing they were to trust in the strangers word.

Kotaro chuckled at Nesmine. "Nesmine, I'm not that good. I just picked up a few things traveling." He didn't really believe he was a great cook. When Hero said he was a cook Kotaro raised an eyebrow. "Really? That nice, what's your specialty when cooking? What do you believe is the best oil to use when cooking the rice ball and what do you use to stabalize it?" He was curious. A man of this strength a cook? It was strange.
"I am a weapons shop owner." Kotaro said. "I sell and create weapons for anyone who needs a quick defense. Custom or standard it doesn't matter." He laughed. "I'm kinda annoying aren't I?"

The man piped up, saying that he was a cook, and made the best rice balls in town, and the first thing that ran through Nesmine's mind was 'B@#l s?$t.' For a good while, Nesmine survived in Central, often stooping down as a petty thief for her breakfast. Despite the small worth in the crimes, Nesmine couldn't help but be proud that she had gotten away with sampling some of the most delicious and expensive foods in Central. Never had she bumped into this man, or heard of his delicious cooking. He had to be lying, either that he was a cook in the first place, or just a sucky one that made meager meals to get by on a simple pay check. Nonetheless, Kotaro had extended his trust to the man, and it was her job to make sure he didn't suffer for it.
"Well this is great news for me!! I'ma gonna be full tonight! Two good cooks, in one day! When did my luck get so good?" She shouted happily. With luck, he was as good of a cook as he said, and she had simply become paranoid on her friends' case. She would have to let time tell, as the man had indeed accepted the offer, and there was no way to politely turn him down and leave.
Nesmine couldn't help but feel awkward as this 'Heart' observed the two of them, it was as if he was attempting to peer into their souls for some kind of important conclusion. Perhaps he was just as worried as she was, and was just trying to make sure that he could trust the two before taking a bite out of some potentially poisoned food. Still, it was difficult to shake off all the warning signs the new man was giving her.

Hero took a few deeps breath as he looked them and he didn't move from his spot or even bother to answer the man's questions and when the man said he owed a weapons shop Hero rose and eyebrow. "A weapons shops huh...." he muttered and for the moment he put the female on ignore even though he was suppose to treat them with respect sometimes a guy has to do what a guy has to do. And as he could tell that the man Kotaro didn't trust him like after all the simple questions were enough. The girl who called herself Nesmine also seemed to give off the same weird feeling.
Hero took a deep breath and then took a step back, he took his right hand and placed into his jacket it wrapping itself around the 9mm pistol as he looked at the two people. Sure his hands were gloved, but if one payed any mind to the marking on the palm side of the gloves you'd see Hero wore them for the use of his Alchemy which he had a feeling he might need to use at the moment. "You know...I lied to you." spoke Hero openly admitting the fact he had just lied, "You see I do cook for living my job is much different and though it goes against what I'm taught to do this or tell anyone but the people who need this....but you see."
Hero paused and pulled the 9mm out form its place on his side Heartbreaker was now a aimed at the male, "I'm a Hitman and who the hell sent you?" he asked, you see what Hero's gun so important was the fact it didn't need to be cocked to fire it was already cocked. It had to look odd for the people around them a man holding a gun up to a a female and her friend...one had to wonder why no one would help them....

Kotaro wasn't surprised at the man saying he was lying. He wasn't surprised to find him talking to a hit man. Or the fact that he had a gun pointed to his face. The man had been too nice to not be dangerous. He was surprised though that he accused them of being sent to find him. Without stepping back or even flinching Kotaro put his hand in his pocket, his fingers laying on the steel ball in it.
"I have no idea what your talking about Mr.Heart." he said in a blank tone. "I guess this is a no on joining us for lunch." He said enclosing his hand on the metal ball. "Quite unfortunate. Nesmine was expecting some food, but I guess it must wait." His eyes narrowed. "Now. For the love of god. Get that gun out of my face." He said coldly. "Or I'll have no choice but to fight back. I see your an alchemist and you probably use it with your weapons based on the runes for your circle."
Without turning he spoke to Nesmine. "Nesmine. Please stay out of this one. Your wounds aren't healed up yet."

Nesmine's jaw dropped at the sight of the gun in her friends face, it didn't feel fair at all. 'So soon? Why's he got to do this?' Without thinking, she quickly stepped in, ignoring Kotaro's request to stay out of the fight. 'What the hell is he thinking? Does he want to die now?!' Although a very dumb move, Nesmine placed her body right between Kotaro and Mister Heart's gun, trying to keep her closest friend safe from harm.
"Please!" She said with desperation, "Don't shoot. He's all I've got left, the closest thing I have to family." Nesmine blurted out, now worried that her friend wasn't going to live another day unless she fessed up, and quickly. "If you want to kill him, you've got to come through me first, and I assure you that isn't necessary. I have no memories of who or what I am, and he's the only thing I have, so I'm sure as hell gonna break through hell before you get to him. Get that stupid gun back into your pocket right now, you hear me?! This isn't a necessary fight, and there are civilians nearby. You wouldn't want to hurt any innocents, right?" She asked, hoping that he cared about other individuals.
Nesmine returned a firm glare, trying to assert her strength despite the damage she had previously suffered. There was no way she would win the fight, but the last thing she wanted to do was hear the echo of the gunshot, and to watch Kotaro's body slump to the floor. "Nobody was sent after you, you paranoid son of a b&%#h! We're not here to kill you, we just want to move along with life."

Hero kept the gun tightly in his hands and he watched as Kotaro placed his hand in his pocket and Hero was assuming he had something inside the pocket that he could use as a weapon, "Your right I do know Alchemy and yes its weapon based, But trust me whatever you got in your pocket isn't gonna work on me. I deal with the kind of stuff for living, you think I can't handle you two." he muttered as he looked down the sight of the gun. Which wasn't really something he had to considering the fact he could pretty much just shoot the gun and have a good chance of hitting what he wanted.
Then all of sudden the female stepped in front of her friend and began to shout at Hero telling him to put the gun back into his pocket, and even saying he'd have to go through her first. Hero shook his head, and listen to her speak, "I'm a hitman babe, it doesn't matter who I kill and every life is just another dollar in my wallet. So go ahead and say harmless people around its not gonna stop me." and he placed his finger gently on the trigger of the gun.
"I figured you weren't here to kill me but I couldn't be to sure, and but you see we come to a problem now. You know what I do, to everyone else walking by us it just seems like a guy holding some gun point but you guys...you know what my job is." Hero tightened his grip on the gun. One could tell by the look in his light blue eyes that he planned on pulling the trigger it was just a matter of when.
"So now I have to kill you, I'm sure your nice people but I'm not one to care about any of that." and then bang. Hero pulled the trigger on his gun and the bullet came rushing out of it and aimed right at Nesmine's chest. He was hoping to just knock her out and he could deal with the guy behind her.
