The Shadowing

Fate: it's me again!

Logan: Shut up…

Mao: Fate owns nothing!

Prologue: When Hei, Yin and Mao is sent on a mission to the United States to assassinate a former syndicate member. Hei runs into the X-men and gets mistaken as a mutate much to Hei's Horror and Mao's amusement.

"Remind me again why I agreed to do this?" The black reaper asked coldly as he started getting dressed in his usual black attire as he put his signature two tip blades in various places on his person.

The black cat seated on the kitchen counter only response was a flick to the tail and a," Deal with it," Before the cat jumped out the window before he could get thrown out it.

The black reaper turned to his last team mate in the room which was a silver haired girl in a purple dress as she got the attention turned on her she lifted two fingers up to her face and forced herself to smile, "Sorry Hei but it is a mission," The doll said in the same emotionless voice. The newly dubbed Hei just sighed as he put on his black bullet proof jacked that had green underneath it and he covered his face with his signature white mask with a purple lightning bolt down the left side and a jokers smile placed on it.

"I'm well aware it's a mission, Yin I just don't see the point in killing this person in broad day light where anyone can see," Hei said softly as he patted Yin's head and jumped out the window, vanishing without a sound as Yin got up and filled a bowl of water and stuck her hand in it following her team mates movements.

Logan (Wolverine) grumbled as he had the teens follow him much to his built up irritation as they continued to talk about point less things that held no concern to him as they walked down the street to the grocery store. Even though the teens tried to include up he just glared at them and kept quiet.

"Ugh! I hated that test in math it was hard," Kitty complained for what seemed like the millionth time.

"Iz not Zee math teachers fault that you zuck at math Kitty," Curt stated in the French (A/N :?) Accent that the team has grown accustomed to a while ago.

"Kitty we all know it was hard just give it a rest," Scott scowled as Jean wacked him in the arm and told him to be nice. Though Rogue for some off reason felt the need to back Kitty up.

"Not that I don't think the complaining is annoying but Kitten here is kind of right I even found that test hard," Rogue said in her southern accent but as soon as Logan was about to say something trash cans fell over onto the street along with a man that looked absolutely terrified.

Logan twitched in amusement, "Where's the fire bub?" he asked in his gruff voice which just sent the main flinching away.

"Y-you have to h-help me pl-please I will gi-give you anything!" The black haired man said slowly getting back up that's when everyone noticed his clothes looked a wreck his hair looked like it when throw a sausage grinder and he had cuts up and down his body.

"What's a matter who did this?" Jean said calmly walking slowly to the traumatized man as he finely got up.

"H-he after m-me!" The man stuttered as he took a step back every time Jean took a step forward in which she finely stopped and stood next to Logan.

"Who iz after you?" Curt asked.

"I tho-thought he wa-was dead!" The man yelled and rogue thought if he was off his rockers yet.

"Who is supposed to be dead?!" Logan demanded.

The man looked terrified as though the very name scared him," the man in all black with a mask as white as snow!" The man blabbered on until Scott got annoyed and grabbed him by the shirt.

"Who is he?" Scott yelled.

Suddenly the man pointed to a roof top and scrambled back a decent distanced away still pointing to the roof top, "The Black Reaper!" the man finely yelled as everyone turned to see the mask figure suddenly disappear and reappear behind to the man.

Everyone stared wide eyed at the man dubbed with the nick name of black reaper, "Now, now Sosuke no need to make a scene," The man's voice sent a chill down everyone's spine at the pure coldness in the masked guys voice even though the mutants (minus Logan) didn't speak Japanese, "You know the Syndicate doesn't like traitors,"

The newly dubbed Sosuke looked livid as he went to punch the black reapers face but the man swiftly dodge and shot a leg out tripping Sosuke as the black reaper slammed the man's face down with his palm on Sosuke's face, squeezing it tightly, "Pl-please," Sosuke whimpered as he knew what was coming next.

"Take this as a warning," the Black reaper stated in perfect English (without an accent) as he began to glow blue and electricity erupted from his palm sending thousands of volts of electricity through his body until he was dead.

The X-men stared in horror at how face this scene had played out and what shocked them the most was this assassin was a mutant. Logan growled as he unsheathed his claws and rushed the Black reaper who in turn back flipped four times and landed far enough away from the group.

"What is your problem bub," Logan growled as his claws glowed in the sun catching the reaper's eye.

What the black reaper said confused everyone, "You're a contractor? What is your payment?"

"What iz this guy nutz he iz trying to push Logan's buttons on purpoze?" Curt asked as he stared at the dead body in front of him. Jean shrugged concerned that Logan was going up against a person who is paid to fight and kill, than again Logan was paid to kill as well a long time ago.

"Man should we help Wolverine?" Rogue asked as she saw Logan get kicked into a wall.

"Yes," Jean said as she used her powers to throw the knocked over trash cans at Hei.

Hei growled as the troublesome teenagers as he shone one of his blades in the sun causing it to reflect high on a nearby building.

Logan's eyes went wide at the obvious signal for back up when suddenly a can of something shot by the black reapers feet causing a fire to surround him, "What the hell!" Scott cursed when the fire died down to see nobody was standing in the middle of the scorch marks.

"What is going on?" Kitty screeched.

"I don't know but I'm going to find out," Logan growled as he turned around and walked back to the mansion with the teens following.

Hei growled as he grabbed Mao by the scruff of the neck and glowered at him," What was the idea of me killing in the daylight I am called the black reaper for nothing," Mao gulped as he stared into the icy depths of Hei's midnight blue eyes.

"Well it was all to get closer to those mutants," Mao looked like he wanted to break out into cold sweat as Hei's glare increased.

"You mean that contractor that had the metal claws," the black reaper stated as Mao shook his head.

"No these people are called 'Mutants' they are kind of like contractors except without the payment. This is done because the mutants are born with their ability so the mind and body see no invasion to cause harm to itself to keep the power satisfied," Hei nodded once in understanding.

"So the Syndicate originally wanted me to scout out the mutants and those bastards knew I would meet at least one of them when I went out to kill the traitor," Hei growled out as Mao nodded as the cat watch his teammate curse in Mandarin Chinese (which he didn't understand a single word of it) and begin to pace. Yin watched from the sidelines of the conversation but ended up putting a hand on Hei's shoulder calming him, "So when do I meet the mutants again?"

Mao grinned (well as best as a cat could grin), "Well mister Lee Shangshun how do you feel like starting school in a couple of weeks?" Hei's eyes went from blank to pure cold fury as he threw the cat as hard as he could outside the window of his apartment (which was the second story floor) and was happy to note when he heard a screech of pain and outrage coming from outside as Hei closed the window shut as to not let him back him.

Me: And done with the first one!

Logan: -rolls eyes-

Hei: Why do I have to go to school?! –glares at me-
