Miss Cake: Ah, how long has it been since the last time I wrote a story/chapter on this website? Well I finally decided to continue the story that my beloved friend (SaturnXK) had left behind. I could have continue this a long time ago but I was rather...unmotivated to do anything. I try to write stories but there's never an ending to them. Unless I was force to do it for homework or essay.

I'm very sorry for the readers that had like this story and was disappointed to see the story uncontinue. I will try my very best to keep the grammar in check and try to make the characters' personalities accurate. Oh and make the story a bit interesting.

For the first chapter, I will leave it as it is since my friend had already created it. I will just check for grammar and spelling mistakes. I will also add some more details to it.

Hope you enjoy this chapter!~ (But of course since my awesome friend made it XD)

Thoughts: I love cake :3

If you see this, "AFALALALALALALALA", it is a line break, just to point it out.

AFALALALALALALALA

The next morning…

"I go now," I say.

"Okay. See you later," Phinks nods. I gave him a glance before disappearing from his sight.

I ran back to the motel downtown with the wind caressing my face. Although it is still early (only 7 am) there are quite a few people out and about. I swallow; my mouth seems to be dry. Apparently, I'm thirsty. I stop running and halt in front of a pub. There weren't many people in it, and for that I am glad. I didn't like staring eyes from people. The bartender glares at me as I walk in casually.

"Whaddya want, shrimp?" The bartender snarl, showing all of his five black teeth as he leers unpleasantly at me. His breathe reeks of garlic and trash. Disgusting. I look at him coolly,"Maybe I should kill him."

"One drink," I say in response. I didn't particularly liked beer, but it was the only thing that was drinkable around here. Mumbling in a subdued tone, the bartender slam a jug on the scratched and worn out table and fills it up with frothing beer, spilling half of it in the process.

I take the beer and head over to a table in the corner, with my back facing the entrance. I lower the bandana on my face and take a swing. I try not make a face, but the beer was terrible. I put my elbows on the table and stare at the wall opposite of me. I also raise the bandana up onto my face again, not wishing to take another sip of the beer.

I remain in that position, not moving a muscle even when I hear the pub door open and listen to someone walks in with a suppressed aura. I felt, rather than hear, the person walks over to where the bartender is currently standing at. The bartender's rude tone is soon replace with one of careful respect.

"Good day to you. You are looking well this fine morning," The bartender say in a sickeningly, oily voice.

"I would like to know where Katsumi is. Has he passed through this area, by any chance?" A smooth, chilling voice ask.

"No, I haven't seen him," The bartender reply very nervously.

"The bartender should take some lessons on how to lie; he obviously wasn't telling the truth." I thought absentmindedly.

"Oh? He hasn't? Well then, if that is so, I'll be going now." The man turns to leave, but not before murmuring something to his men, who stayed behind him the entire time.

I am sure that the men would stay to try and squeeze the information out of the bartender. After all, I always done this type of thing. The man stops at the doorway and then turns back to face the room. No one is left in the pub except for me. All the other customers left quickly and quietly as soon as the man had enter the room. I continue staring at the wall and pointedly ignore the man.

"You have some nerve, you know," The man say, suddenly appearing in front of me. I didn't move a single centimeter. "Most people run away at the sight of me."

"Why that so?" I ask, finally focusing my empty eyes on the man and at the same time, look at the man's appearance.

The man is… frozen. That is the only way I could describe him. Of course, I didn't mean literally frozen, I meant very emotionless. Coldness radiated from every fiber of the man's being. His eyes is cold, his smile is cold, and his voice is cold. He look as though he has never have any feelings in the world and that the emotions he is now showing is something he have read off a book and is attempting to try it out on regular people. The man's brown eyes stare back at me, as though he is describing me in his head as well.

"Well, that's for me to know and you to find out," The man reply.

He then bow slightly. I raise an eyebrow. "My name is Takumi."

I neither bow nor say his name. The man, Takumi, look at me with a slightly amused smile on his lips. "You have very strong Nen." It wasn't a question. It was a statement.

I stare at him as if to ask "So what?"

The man continues to speak. "It is stronger than the many other people who I have encountered, one of the strongest actually. But no matter how strong your aura is right now, I am sure that it is not your true power. You are still hiding most of your Nen, aren't you? The aura that I feel right now is only the tip of the iceberg. Am I correct?"

I didn't answer. I am wondering why the hell this annoying man is even talking to me. Takumi observes me with a hungry smile.

"You're interesting; I like you," Takumi says with a grin.

"You annoying; go away," I answer back. Takumi cock his head.

"My, my. I haven't had someone talk to me that way for a very long time," Takumi say. I ignore the statement.

"Why you go around with no aura? You know it very suspicious if man walk into pub and have no aura," I say bluntly. Takumi smirks.

"Well, if I showed you my true aura, then I guarantee that you would piss your pants," Takumi grins.

My lips twitches in annoyance underneath my bandana. I loathe arrogant men like him.

"Why you talk to me? You annoying," I reply. I frown at the man slightly. Takumi smiled.

"I already told you: you're interesting," Takumi says happily. I move ever so slightly. "Heh. You wanna kill me, don't you?" Takumi proudly say.

"Of course I do. You annoying," I repeated. I gave Takumi an evil look that can cause little kids to wet themselves repeatedly.

"Your Nen has increased a tiny bit. I can feel murderous intent coming off it," Takumi say with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Since you so good reading auras, you would know I kill you if you no go away," I hiss. My eyes flashes dangerously. "I get angry easy." To my complete and utter exasperation, Takumi didn't go away. Instead, he look quite happy about something. I growl with anger. I wanted to rip that stupid grin of that stupid man's stupid face this stupid second.

"You looked rather dangerous, you know," Takumi comments, looking as though he didn't have a care in the world. "Be careful, you might hurt somebody with that killer aura."

Argh! That's it.I had enough of this foolish conversation that I'm in. My eyes narrow into slits and I prepare myself to tear that damn annoying, talkative head off his body.

"Hey, relax. You don't want to kill me," Takumi calmly say. I snarl, not bothering to listen to any more of this man's chatter. He talked even more than Shalnark, that's saying a lot. "I want you to join my organization, Hebi no Shita aka the Serpent's Tongue." This froze me instantly.

AFALALALALALALALA

Takumi's POV

I knew that this man is ready to kill me and he knew that when he attacked, I will not be ready to stop him. When people get angry, they get stronger… most of the time anyway. I knew I have to say my proposal now, before the man be able to kill me.

"I want you to join my organization, Hebi no Shita aka the Serpent's Tongue." With satisfaction, I notices that this made the man stop.

"You're what? What snake tongue?" The man ask with a faint hint of confusion evidence in his voice.

"I have made up an organization, the Serpent's Tongue. As you may have guessed, I am an outlaw. And since I'm an outlaw, I decided to do something outlaw-ish. I've had this organization for about four years now," I say. I notice that the man is staring at me as though I am some sort of strange alien that had come from planet Pluto.

AFALALALALALALALA

Snake Tongue? Snake Tongue? Was this man trying to copy the Genei Ryodan or something? This man must be some sort of copycat. And what kind of name was Snake Tongue? That was one of the stupidest names I had ever heard. This man really must be an idiot… These are the thoughts that were running through my mind when Takumi had said what he said. I was so surprise that I even forgot to kill the man.

"Well…?" Takumi say impatiently, jolting me out of my thoughts.

"Why you want me join?" I ask.

"Well, I already noticed that you have a mountain of aura. You have no problem with murdering either. You are an assassin and if I take in all those factors above, I shall assume that you must have no hesitation about stealing," Takumi say. "Although you are quite short, I must say you are perfect for a position in the Serpent's Tongue." I twitch at the comment that was made to my height.

"Sorry. I already in organization," I say.

"And what is that organization?" Takumi ask, curiosity and indignation about being rejected clouding his face.

"Genei Ryodan," I say.I didn't have any qualms about announcing the name of the Troupe. After all, it wasn't as though they were in hiding or anything.

"Ah, the Genei Ryodan, also known as the Phantom Troupe. Their less formal name is the Spiders, and their organization's symbol is of a twelve-legged spider," Takumi say, sounding like an encyclopedia, and then his lips wrinkled, the happy look on his face now gone. "Why the hell did you join that group?" I look at him coldly.

"I have reason," I boredly say.

"Feh, the Genei Ryodan is the arch enemy of the Hebi no Shita," Takumi aggressively reply.

"I never even hear about snake tongue," I say, knowing that I am incorrectly saying the name of Takumi's organization once again. He threw me a dirty look.

"I have a message to Kuroro Lucifer," Takumi hissed into my ear. "Tell him to meet me at the Peony Garden in Bud Street in ten days' time." I look directly into Takumi's eyes.

"Can't do that. Don't know where Danchou is. Danchou disappear after mission," I blankly reply.

"How annoying," Takumi muttered under his breathe. "You even call him "Danchou" as well eh? Che, he hardly deserves to be called 'boss'."

"You know him?" I ask, not really caring about the answer.

"No, but he keeps on pushing the Serpent's Tongue into the shadows and letting the Genei Ryodan claim the spotlight in newspapers and such," Takumi's eyes flashes in jealousy. I roll my eyes. Jealousy is an ugly sight among men and women. He acts as if Danchou stole his girl.

"Whatever, I go now," I say, finally having enough of the outlaw wannabe.

"I don't care how you do it, but you better tell Kuroro to meet me in Peony Garden. If he doesn't show up, then I will destroy the Genei Ryodan. I have my means. I WILL do it," Takumi glares at me.

"Hai, hai," I mumble as I left the pub. Takumi is definitely a wannabe, evil, crazy, mad scientist as well as a wannabe outlaw.

Miss Cake: I had to switch this to present tense 'cause I felt that using past tense would make it confusing. It is happening now after all. I also had trouble with making certain sentences into thoughts. I don't know if I had done it correctly, but I hope you guys will like the corrections that I have made to it. - For the old readers.

Anyway, please tell me right away if I had made any mistakes because I am pretty rusty on writing out chapters and doing grammar correctly.

Ah, please do review 'cause it will probably make me extremely happy (Motivation bonus = Update faster *Shot*) and make my friend very proud of her work. Oh and also, visit her page :D She got lots of interesting stories there~!
