Name: Daniel.

Age: Twenty-five.

Job: Contractor.

Isshin Matoi stopped reading for a moment. He looked to the man in front of him, trying to understand if the man in front of him was serious or not. A couple of hours before, he was working on his researches when this man paid him a visit. He was searching for a job. A job as a bodyguard. He stared at him for a moment, not well understanding the reason of that statment. He welcomed him inside his house, leading him towards his office, but always keeping an eye on him. He was wearng a long cape so he couldn't see him clearly. But after inviting him to take a seat, that man, Daniel, took out his robe. Isshin saw that he was wearing a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt. But his equipment was dangerous: a sig sauer p229 on his left leg, a frag granade, two flashbangs and a smoke on the right side of his waist, a magnum QTR-7 on the right and a sword on the back. There was also a strange short sword attached to his left side right under the arm with it's own name printed on the sheath: "The Reaver Cleaver". Isshin carefully took his bio and started reading, always keeping him under control. His skin was pale, his hair were short and brown and his eyes were brown too. He was also fit and his muscles were well toned. A perfect body for a bodyguard.

Hobbies: Kali.

Personal info: ...

White. This field was empty. Isshin placed Daniel's bio on the table and put his hands under his chin thinking carefully what to say.

"You left your personal info empty. How can i decide if you suit this type of work?" Isshin asked.

"I think the other informations are enough." Daniel answered.

Isshin thought about this. They sure were enough but he wasn't sure that he could trust him.

"Where do you come from? Your traits are not very common here." He asked.

"Let's just say that i come from the west. I can't reveal anymore if i don't get the job." Daniel answered again.

Isshin thought carefully about this.

"Well, if i don't know anything more about you, i can't trust you. Even because you just went here without any type of advice. I also haven't request any type of bodyguard. So..." Isshin said.

"You need me, Soichiro." Daniel interrupted him.

Isshin stopped. Nobody knew his real name. Unless...

"No. I'm not working for Ragyo. But i know a lot of things." Daniel said.

"How..." Isshin was shocked. Here, a completely stranger knew his real name.

"I worked for Ragyo. And you were here too. I was the only one discovering the truth about your fake death." Daniel answered.

"I don't trust you. And this just prove that i'm right. Why should i fulfill your request?" Isshin asked.

"You don't have a reason. But i know one thing for sure: You have a powerful enemy. And you need someone protecting you... Or your daughter" Daniel answered firmly.

Isshin's eye widened. He knew about Ryuko.

"Fine." He said. "I will trust you... For now." Isshin put Daniel's bio in a drawer of his desk. "But i will always keep an eye on you. Follow me." Isshin got up and lead Daniel for a tour of the house. He showed him all the rooms, saying that he could take a bedroom of his choice since there were three free but he could enter his laboratory only if summoned for now. Daniel followed him, listening to everything and memorizing the schedule of Isshin's movements: seven o'clock AM, leaving the bedroom. Half past seven AM, entering the lab. Midnight, leaving the lab and entering the bedroom. He was assigned to patrol the house and the outsides while Isshin was in the laboratory.

"That's all." Isshin said. "About the money..."

"I don't want money." Daniel said. "Just give me a room and a meal each day. Nothing more."

Isshin looked to him. No money. It was really strange.

"Who are you exactly?" Isshin asked.

"A friend. You have to trust me." He answered.

Isshin sighed. "Very well then. I'm going back to the lab. Your job starts now." He said before disappearing behind the door.

"I don't know if i can trust him or not" Isshin thought while descending the stairs towards his laboratory. "But if he really is a friend and not an enemy... He will probably be a useful ally. Let's just hope to find this out in time."

...

Some months later.

...

Isshin left his bedroom earlier than usual. Daniel was already patrolling the external areas of the house so Isshin waited him inside. He was carefully thinking about the risks of what he was going to do. If there were other possibilities, he would have gladly avoided this. But there weren't. When Daniel came inside some minutes later, Isshin stopped him and silently asked him to follow. He lead him inside his laboratory and, once there, he lead him towards a special room.

It was fill of any kind of instruments. Even medical ones. And there was an operating table in the middle.

"I need to ask you something Daniel." Isshin started. "Some months ago you came here to work as a bodyguard. I couldn't trust you because you worked for Ragyo, but now i know that i was wrong. Do you know what i'm researching?"

"I think something about a strange material called life fibers. You and Ragyo always talked about it" Daniel answered.

"You are right. These life fibers are a special type of material. They come from the space. If used in a certain way, they can enhance humans physical abilities: strenght, speed, agility and so on... But if used in another way..."

"Let me guess: They will destroy the world, will they?"

Isshind nodded. "This is what Ragyo desire. I faked my death so i could work on a way to stop her. I think that i've found it but i need your help."

"Go on." Daniel said.

"I need to graft the life fibers inside of you. Trust me, if i had other options, i would gladly take them. But this is the only way."

"What will my task be?" Daniel asked.

Isshin blinked. "You will have to protect Ryuko. However she must not find out about you. When she will be ready, we will bring her here. And i will explain everything to both of you."

"Fine. Let's do this." Daniel said taking of his t-shirt.

"Are you sure? There's no turning back." Isshin said.

"I am. I'm not afraid. If this is needed, then let's do this." Daniel answered laying down on the table.

Isshin got closer. He took a strange liquid and injected it in Daniel's body.

"Very well." Isshin said. "See you at the end of the tunnel." However daniel was already uncounscious.

"I hope you are able to synchronize with life fibers... And strong enough to survive."
