[center][h2][color=c4df9b]Aiko Kamiya[/color][/h2][/center] Truth be told, Aiko was somewhat relieved that the thugs knew when to drop everything and run, as they were doing right now. Even though they were still Don's thugs, they were just following orders. That coupled with how harmless and funny they actually were made them almost an nonexistent threat for Aiko. The moment they shouted to run though, Aiko was already far, only being able to hear part of it before disappearing in the jungle of alleyways and pipes. Despite her speed, her heard was still beating fast due to the surprise. Anyone who knew what a doomrat was and how obstinate and crafty they were also knew how dangerous a horde of angry ones was terrifying. Raise that to a horde of angry, BURNING doomrats and it was easy to know why Aiko ran away as fast as she did. Since she had to make another detour, it did take a bit until she got back on her way home again but the fact that she managed to lose the thugs saved her enough time so she wouldn't have to worry too much about the preparation to the oncoming job. That said, while she was riding back, she did have a rather uncomfortable feeling of being watched. She did try looking around and ride a bit faster but it that feeling just didn't go away. If it was anyone else, they would probably have dismissed it as they being a bit paranoid due to all the trouble with Don but Aiko lived by herself in the streets of Midgar for quite a while and she knew best than to ignore her own intuition and as such, she kept her eyes wide open and alert for any strange movement. After a while though, it became obvious that either she was just being a bit paranoid or whoever was watching her was almost inhumanely good at their job. Knowing that she needed to rest a bit before the job, she ended up going back home to relax a bit. When she got home, due to the strange feeling of being watched she had a while ago, Aiko didn't take off her rollerblades and made sure to put her suit before throwing herself at the couch to relax a bit. If anyone wanted to enter her house, it would be rather obvious, as the streets were quite busy on that time of the day. The preparation for the oncoming job was almost completely done, she had her cellphone with her and the modifications on her equipment were working perfectly well as she could confirm with the small 'test' she had both playing around with the thugs and when she had to seriously run away from the Doomrats. Now, she was merely waiting for the call before grabbing the small chokutō she used as a weapon and going wherever her client wanted her to go. Judging by the appearance of the guy that she talked with and the way he talked on the phone, that job could potentially be something big... And Aiko was hoping that the payment would also be substantial. Enough for her to not need to worry with Don for a while.
