Number 1333

New Arrival

It's another day in the most secure prison un the world, Nanba, the prisoners are arranging the Christmas decorations as the guards ordered them, but a call will change this peace. The prison director's phone rings while she is doing her paperwork.

<<Yes?>> she takes the call with her deep and scary voice, <<Understood. We'll make preparations to receive him.>> she ends the call and thinks where she should put the new prisoner, <<They finally caught him, huh?>> the warden calls the guards outside her office, <<Call Building 13's supervisor, Sugoroku Hajime.>>

Meanwhile, in the Cell 13, Jyugo, Uno, Rock and Nico are sit in front of the TV chatting about their interests, new plans to escape, or their opinions about the shows.

<<I heard in the mess hall earlier that there's a new guy coming here.>> says Rock since he remembered it.

<<A newbie? Seriously?>> comments Uno a little annoyed.

<<What's like?>> asks Jyugo laying on the tatami, it doesn't happen often that a new prisoner is moved to Nanba.

<<Dunno.>> replies Rock, <<I heard he's being transferred this afternoon.>>

<<Oh, I know.>> says Jyugo with a sly voice, <<What if it's that killer they caught earlier, who chopped bodies into pieces?>>

<<Oh hell no!>> shots Uno scared, <<Don't even say that!>>

<<I agree with Uno-kun.>> Nico looks at his friends with an uncomfortable expression, <<I'm scared to live with someone like that!>>

The conversation is shutter down by the door being opened. Oh no, the newbie is gonna be in the Cell 13? Please god, do that this new prisoner is a good guy, nothing scary or... The four prisoners drop their shoulders when Hajime walks in holding a chain.

<<I brought a new inmate.>> says the supervisor, <<Enter.>>

The chains resound in the cell and the prisoner walks in. Wears a black cloak with a hood that covers his face, his hair that cover his eyes... Oh crap, is really that killer?! Oh please god no, they don't want to be chopped in pieces! His impressions don't get better at all because when Hajime takes off the handcuffs, Jyugo and the others see a lot of bandages on his arms, hands, ankles... They're gonna die, right?

<<Behave, got it?>> the supervisor closes the door when the inmate nods at his words.

As soon the guard leaves, the man sits in a corner, away from the others and stays like that; with his knees on his chest and his head upon them. Since they don't have proof that he is the real killer, Nico tries to approach him with a smile.

<<Hello, how are you?>> he asks feeling the awkwardness getting heavier, he doesn't even reply, <<W-what's your name?>>

<<You're too noisy.>> his voice sounds scary too, oh well, they must live with this guy from now on, so they should get along with him, but that respond annoyed Uno.

<<Hey, what's with that attitude?>> he says upset, <<Nico was trying to be friends with you!>>

<<Hah?!>> he remarks angrily, making the others jump scared, ok maybe that's not a good idea upsetting a killer.

The crew discovers a new thing about him: his eyes. They have a beautiful emerald color and they hide a lot of anger.

<<We're sorry, we will not bother you further.>> Nico calms the situations down, keeping in place his friends, <<Come on guys, let's leave him alone. We invaded his personal space, it's normal that he is angry with us.>>

<<Newbie, come here for a second, I need to check your data.>> Hajime approaches the door, but the new prisoner doesn't respond, <<Oi, Number 33!>> the supervisor checks the room, but his man is gone, <<God damn it, already?!>> he shouts running at light speed.

<<Hey, where is he?>> asks Rock, <<He was there a few seconds ago.>>

<<Is he gonna kill us?!>> screams Nico scared, <<Please spare us, we just wanted to get along with you!>>

<<Moreover, he broke out from here in a mere second....>> points out Uno surprised, <<Is he Jyugo's twin?>>

<<The hell is that?!>> comments the mismatched boy, "Certainly he is skilled though."

A few days passed since the arrive of the prisoner Number 1333, and the Building 13 is already speaking about him. During the lunch break, Jyugo points at someone, and the other prisoners who saw him, quickly stand up and force him to low his arm.

<<What are you doing, you fool!>> says him whispering, <<Do you want to be killed?>>

<<Hey, what the hell are doing?>> asks Uno, <<What are talking about?>>

<<You guys don't know him?>> continues the prisoner, <<His name is known across the world as the most dangerous assassin. Rumors say that he lets police catch him to be transfer in the country of his target; he breaks out in less than one hour, kills his target and the route goes in loop. He's called "Silent Death" because no one can see or hear him when he kill his target...>>

<<So... he was sent here for murder and jail-breaking?>> asks Nico, "For me is not that dangerous though. Yesterday I saw sadness in his face, did I image it?"

<<He was arrested for murder, 138 conspiration murders, 312 blackmails and other 625 crimes that no one knows.>> replies the prisoner walking away, <<You should stay away from him.>>

After the lunch, all the prisoners are escorted inside their cells. The hours pass and the newbie didn't move an inch from his usual position. After dinner, Nico approaches No. 33 with one of his manga; hoping to know him better. Hajime rejected his request for a book, so the green boy hopes that he would like these types of books too. He sits in front of him keeping some distance, and thinks of what words wouldn't make him upset.

<<U-um...>> Uno and the others just look and stand ready to intervene, <<I heard, that you wanted a book before, so...>> No. 25 makes the manga slides, <<I don't know if you like manga, but->>

<<Manga?>> oh he talked without that scary aura! Good job Nico!! <<What's that?>>

<<Cell 13! Make preparations for bath time!>> Yamato and Hajime escort the inmates to the bathroom and guard the exits.

Jyugo and the others washed themselves and now they relax in the hot spring, when their new inmate walks in. Now that he doesn't have any clothes on, they can see better how he looks like. His hair is layered, pinched black with dark blue shades, his body is well trained and slender but full of scars. Rock suggests to not stare at him, maybe he doesn't want that someone see his scars or body, they don't know it. Due to his previous little success, Nico decides to talk with his new friend.

<<No.33-kun, would you like to know what mangas are after... He disappeared again.>> his spot is empty, the water is still dropping to the ground, <<What a shame, he seemed interested in it.>>

<<I honestly want to know how the hell he disappears so fast and silently.>> comments Jyugo, <<I didn't hear his footsteps or anything, that's crazy.>>

<<Maybe we can ask him about it.>> suggests Uno, <<I don't know why, but he doesn't look that scary. I think the other day he got upset because we were too noisy. Nico did talk to him today, so I'm sure that as long as we don't make a fuss, he will talk with us.>>
