26 Vasuki (2/2)

In contrast to the original timeline where Clowns and Vasuki were close collaborators cause of a certain person, in this world cause Washuu's far more formidable Vasuki was only loyal dogs of Washuu's. They ignored Clowns because this organization didn't threaten the purpose of V and that was the maintenance of equilibrium and balance.

'What are doing agents of V here? He should be keeping them from our places. Only if they aren't here for me but for...'

Itori quickly realized why did members of V come here. They weren't here for her as a certain person was, in reality, a high-ranking member of V besides being a member of Clowns. So she wasn't someway worried about agents of V being here for her.

Itori rushed to roof of the near building and she was watching three members of V. Suddenly all three of them walked to the blind alley where they stopped and looked at the familiar man in pure-white noble clothing with platinum white hair and bright blue eyes. She now confirmed that agents of Vasuki were her for Lucien.

She hides in the roof so none of them could see her. It wasn't that she was afraid of three cannon fodder members of V or something but she didn't want to interrupt this event. After several seconds she heard only one sentence.

”I am so honored to see members of the Vasuki. May I ask what honorable gentlemen had to do with this one?”

After hearing this and seeing Lucien's eyes to transform to those of kakugan and his rinkaku kagune to appear she was confident that Lucien was a ghoul and one of those more powerful ones. She watched the entire fight from its start to its end.

From her point of view, this wasn't fighting. It was just one adult bullying bunch of three kinds. It was obvious that his strength was far above theirs and he was only playing with them. She saw in him same sadistic side as in most of the members of Clowns. Of course only those strong one. But in reality, most of the strong ghouls which were rated as S and above were highly sadistic and wicked in some way.

Only after several minutes fight ended when Lucien smashed the last agent of V to the wall and enjoyed his slow death. At that moment she found something. Enjoyment from the painful death of these agents didn't mainly come from his cruel and sadistic side but from something else. It was hatred. Concentrated, strong, pure hatred. She saw that in his expression and the way he was behaving. As an information broker, she was more than experienced in reading people.

Suddenly as she was watching him a few bricks came flying at her position with extremely fast speed and she barely managed to react. She dodged those bricks and jumped down at the street. When she looked around she found corpses of those agents and Lucien, nowhere to find.

She only felt something moving behind her back so she turned promptly around to find that Lucien was standing before her with kagune like the sword in his right hand and his left arm was clothed entirely in kakuja. She noticed that this was likely one of his kakuja versions because it was impossible for ghoul who killed three members of Vasuki in an instant to have only this as kakuja form. Even though these members were cannon fodder in V compared to cannon fodder in CCG they were stronger.

Itori forced smile in this awkward situation and looked sweetly at Lucien.

”Aren't you a rather strong one? Don't worry I am not here to fight.”

This was certainly true. She didn't want to fight with him. Because she didn't know the precise range of his strength and power it wouldn't be wise to fight with such a person.
