Any way here is Chapter one. Strongish language is present, so if you take offence do not read.

Disclaimer: Do not own any of the Mai Hime characters at all. Sob...

Chapter 1 Meetings

It was a very typical night for the overly rich and glamorous. Over produced perfumes and colognes, as well as cigar smoke lurked in the surrounding air, making it stifling and hot. Bodies clung to each other and eyes wandered over each other, some looking for prey others looking and admiring from a far, too much of a coward to advance into unknown territory. Women with their over sensual clothing that clung to their hips and chest, swayed towards potential partners, presenting themselves like meat on a silver platter, to the oh so hungry wolves in sheep's clothing. Amongst these so called rich and divine, who rose atop the other classes, were those that even exceeded that.

Their mannerisms different from those looking for recognition by climbing the greasy pole of success. They were the ones known as old money; they funded everything and owned everything. They could make you or brake you. At the top tier of this never ending biological pyramid was the Fujino's; they consisted of Seiji Fujino, Yura Fujino, their son Takumi and eldest daughter Shizuru Fujino. She like many girls from her class, had riches, expensive clothing and suitors form all around the world. But what made Shizuru Fujino different was that she was a girl, no women, with a very sharp mind that was accompanied with an aura of prestige. She was known for her bewitching smile, over politeness and her blood red eyes that she inherited from her father. She was a girl who was at an age of marriage, but she was spared by her father, who believed that a girl child has much freedom, choice and brains of any man, and deserves a chance to have ago at the family business; though if she decided that it was not for here, and wished to marry instead the family business would go to Takumi.

On this night, the Fujino's were holding an annual charity party, where all of the top investors, businesses and old friends would gather. Basically a gathering of the extremely rich, and to certain extent famous. Unbeknownst to the many people congregating their, something tragic was about to take place.

"Ahhhhhhhh, someone help, my husband has just been shot!"

"Suzuka-san are you alright, what do you mean?"

"I went to go get my husband a drink, and when I came back, he was...he wa-s" Sob "Bleeding..."

Bang! Bang!

After the firing of gun shots, the torrent of people began to scream in terror, shoving each other out of the way. They stamped towards the doors exits, all mannerisms choked out the window.

"Move damn it!"

"No you Move, I have a bigger company than you, I ain't going down with the likes of you."

Bang! Bang!

Two more gun shots were heard from the back of the room.

"Alright you rich bastards, you better stop what you are doing and turn around slowly!"

"Heeee, you rich snobs think you're so great. Well you ain't, you can die just like everyone else."

With that said the man in black shot at one of the men in the back, making all screaming and shouting dissolve in the air, leaving behind an atmosphere of terror. The majority of the people were told to sit on the floor, with their hands behind their head.

"Now I have your attention, which one of you is Fujino-san?"

The man in black looked all around the group, aimed his gun and fired again, this time hitting a woman in her arm. She was screaming out in pain.

"Any of you move to aid her; I will shoot you as well. Now I will not repeat myself again, which one of you is F-U-J-I-N-O?" The man shouted and then began to point his gun around. He then made his way towards the crowd of sheep's that were about to be slaughtered.

"Is it you? Or maybe you?" The man's eyes began to become wide as he began to jab the gun in men's faces.

"Bastard, I know you are here." With that he hit a man across his face with his gun, ultimately breaking his nose.

"Agrrrrrr, my nose, my nose." The man screamed in pain, gripping his bloodied nose.

"Fujino-san, if you do not show yourself, all of your buddy's are gonna be injured dead or even worse. So you better get off your arse and show yourself."

The man tapped his gun against his chin lightly, before he suddenly jerked and pointed his gun towards Shizuru's head.

"Hi little lady, you wanna stand up for me." Shizuru obeyed and stood slowly with her hands behind her back.

The man in black then grabbed shizuru by her hair and shoved the gun next to her temple.

"Now Fujino-san, if you do not stand NOW, I will blow this girls brains out and it will be your entire fault. Hahahahaha!"

Seiji Fujino abruptly rose for where he was sat.

"You leave her alone, you hear me. She has nothing to do with this." Seiji clenched his jaw and fists and casted his view towards the covered man.

"Oh so now I get a reaction out of you. Hum this little lady is probably important to you, considering you let three people get shot before you stood up. Han take this little lady and stand over there. Be sure to keep her quiet while I talk with Fujino-san."

Seizure was grabbed by the arm roughly and shoved to the side of the room, a hand clamped over mouth with her arm bent behind her back

"Now Fujino-san. Or should I say murder, hahahahaha! What a fitting name for a man who sold people by the back door. But you know what the best bit was, hum?"

Seiji casted his gaze downward at the mention of one of his major corporation construction projects that had failed, and had to be covered up with the use of money lent form the yakuza.

"The funny thing was that you let all those people die without a care in the world. Then you have the nerve to go ahead and carry on with your life and enjoying riches, ha. You hypocrite!"

Those words stung Seiji but he knew the man was right. He hated the fact that so many died at his hands, so much blood covered his hands. There was no other way. His career would have been ruined and his family made homeless, now that he could not do.

"Oh will you just shut up with ya rambling. Rather than talking shit, why don't you actually get on with your supposed task? Hm."

The man in black directed his view towards a figure in front of him. A medium sized body of about 5.6", slim but a toned build.

"What the fuck! Who do you think you are talking to? If you are blind I have gun and you don't"

"Hm well why don't you shoot then. Oh I know how about I make a bet with you. If you successfully shoot me then you can kill Fujino-san, but if you miss you are gonna let that girl over there free and everybody else go."

"And if I don't want to?"

"I'll make you!"
