&&&&&&&&&&

The end of another day slowly drifted by for the once almost forgotten X-men were what one could call a normal day was over.

Logan was packing for yet another trip to head out for a personal mission.

"Where you headed this time?" Logan turned around to face the voice's owner; Rouge.

"I have a few more things to take care of, I'll be back by this time tomorrow." He answered telling her what she wanted to know quickly so not to doodle.

"We're going to miss ya, you know." She remarked leaning against the door frame of where she was standing.

"Just keep each other safe until I return, can you do that?" he asked almost worried.

"Please, we can do that even if you were gone a year." She replied half joking. Logan shot her a playful grin.

Putting on his helmet Logan hoped on his bike, "Take care and if anything happens I'll be back early." With that he zoomed off.

"What do you mean he refuses to join the clan?" a man snapped.

"Wolverine is a loner, he works with no one….the Burakumin clan is no exception." Another stated.

"That damn Badger!" the first yelled slamming his fist on the table. Then something came to mind, "what about that team? The X-men? He works along side them doesn't he?"

"Not fully Sir…he still goes out alone…they are just more like a family friend attachment."

"We need someone with his strength and power to accomplish this mission!" the man said more disappointed then before.

"I'm sure we can find someone else…" the other man replied.

"Like who?"

"The Silver Samurai." The man remarked.

***********

As the sun disappeared and the moon took its place in the sky, a meting was being held in an old warehouse. A man in dark brown, with a matching mask, walked out of the shadows and approached the man he had secretly summoned; Kenuichio Harada.

"I've heard great things about you….Silver Samurai." The man in brown replied.

Kenuichio looked at the man oddly but pleased. "I take you summoned me here for a reason other then chit-chat." He responded.

The man chuckled, "Its come to my attention that you want to find a way to return to the Yakuza, am I right?"

Kenuichio snared, "I'm though with them, banished for pointless reasons, who wants to be part of such a hold back clan anyways?"

"Well what would you say if I was to offer you a placement beside the Yakuza's enemy the Burakumin?"

Kenuichio got wide-eyed. "But it is against the Burakumin code to allow anyone from the Yakuza clan old or new to join such an organization."

The man in brown grinned, "Yes, but I can pull some strings; after all its not like you will back stab the one clan who can truly understand you."

Kenuichio narrowed his eyes, "What's the catch?"

The man shook his head doubtfully, "My, my, The Silver Samurai is suspicious; there is no catch…"

Mr. Harada sneered, "You better not be lying…but in the case your not why would you be so interested in me?"

"I'm glad you asked. We have a take, a tricky one…you are familiar with the X-men, no?" the Silver Samurai raised an eyebrow, "You are not after Wolverine are you?"

The man laughed, "No, but we are interested in one of his friends…."

Kenuichio changed his approach on the subject, "Which one?" was all he asked now with more determination.

The man smiled evilly, "The one who can help us with our gain to power…the demon."
