Chapter 1 The Witch comes to Cell 13..(and she's an idiot too!)
(In building 13 Hajime)
It had been quiet for most of the day today likely because of how close Hajime had been sticking to a certain cell 13. Out of curiosity Jyugo finally just asked the guard who had paced back and forth in front of their cell every two to four minutes. "so Hajime why are you babysitting our cell for, the pretty boy gave us some stuff to keep us distracted...could it be about why a fifth..bed..was mo.." It took Jyugo only mere seconds to figure out what was going on and he said: "Wait a second you're putting a new person in the cell aren't you!"
That got the rest of the group's attention making them gather at the cell door to ask questions about their new cellmate with Uno going first. "So is our inmate like a murderer or something?" his face went pale while asking it with Hajime motioning he wouldn't be saying anything until all the questions were out of the way. So Rock asked second with a look of hunger on his face.
"Does this new inmate like eatin as much as me?" this made Hajime only sigh wondering if the next meal was all that number 69 could think about. When it was number 25's turn Hajime was sure he would get something stupid out of him so he just mentally readied himself for a disappointing question, however, he was surprised to find it wasn't the case with 25 saying.
"Um, Hajime is our new inmate going to be kind to us?" Hajime wanted to growl at the idea of a prisoner in jail to worry about something childish but, instead, let it go remembering just who was talking to him. Finally, Jyugo was looked at and he shrugged before he finally asked.
"Isn't this person going to make our escapes easier?" Now that the questions had been asked Hajime coughed into his hand gathering his thoughts to figure out how best to explain the situation that even he had a few problems with.
"For one she isn't any type murderer at worst she's a kleptomaniac with little no control over her thievery. Secondly, I'm not sure about her dietary preferences but, I have heard she's a pretty big glutton when the foods well did. Third, she hates most authority but, like-minded or at least people who don't order her around she behaves well with so you'll get along I'm sure. Finally, she could if her "abilities" weren't being suppressed whatever that means." The prisoners seemed satisfied before finally noticing something that shocked them all, the four inmates all saying in sync.
"Ehhh! our new cellmate's a girl?!" Hajime covered his ears before growling out an answer.
"Yes and don't even sta.." he didn't get to finish his question as Uno asked in a tone somewhere between shocked and overjoyed.
"So Hajime what's her age, nationality all those juicy questions so I don't need to ask'em later?" before Hajime could even begin with that Rock followed up in dream tone.
"What types of food does she like I'm sure if I get Shiro to cook her some of her favorite meals, I'd bet she'd fall for me in no time." Hajime began getting tickmarks on his forehead as Jyugo continued the train of questions asking.
"What kind of clothes does she dress in Hajime anything special?" that got Hajime to open the door going to step into the room making three of the four inmates leap back in fear as Nico innocently asked.
"Is it a good idea to room a girl with four guys?" finally with his patience pushed past its limit he slammed his fist into Jyugo, Uno, and Rock's heads while only sparing Nico who blinked surprised. Uno growled out in response.
"The hell was that about Hajime?!" Jyugo also spat out while pointing to his green-haired friend.
"More like why the hell wasn't Nico hit too?!" Hajime roared at them in response.
"Can it, you morons quit with the questions already goddamnit..." He then sighed doing his best to gather himself after the outburst. Finally, after moments of silence, Hajime told them " to answer your question 25," he looked at the other inmates in the cell telling them "which is the only one worth answering, I don't like this arrangement any better but, it's "her" request so I can't question it even if I want to." seeing how Hajime had narrowed his eyes at her Rock asked.
"Hajime what do you mean by her, is it the Warden she seemed like the violent ty.." he was silenced by another punch to the head as Hajime growled lowly.
"Tch it wasn't the Warden's design for this arrangement it was someone else, this "her" is beyond any person's control, someone that's more deserving to be locked in Nanba than any other person, this "she" is a true demon." that made everyone nervous as all hell and Hajime continued his vicious description of the one who "pushed" this to happen "she's despicable, terrible, a bigger pain in the ass than anyone of you brats could be, a true puppet master in all her haggish glory." After he heard a loud chuckle fill the hallway along with a long string of obscenities.
"God (beeb)ing damn it Yukari, you mother(beeb)ing gap hag I'm going to kick the absolute shit out of ya for doin this I swear to every god in Gensokyo." Hajime had gained a look between disgust at seeing the second most annoying person he's ever met and completely done with today seeing whom she was dragging with her. Standing in front of the door next to Hajime the guys saw the woman in full view though Jyugo only noticed her right arm stretched out being tugged against making him raise an eyebrow while the woman said to Hajime.
"Oh dear little Haji you've grown since I've last seen you." the man only snickered keeping a strong glare at the woman who turned her eyes onto the men of cell 13. They were quickly assaulted by the killer intent that filled her eyes despite the neutral look she gave them and she introduced herself to them.
"Why hello, there you must be the children that Haji always have such trouble with I am Yukari Yakumo, the gap youkai." That made them blink had they heard her right, she had called herself a youkai as in the Japanese man-eating demon. Yukari giggled while doing her best to control the rambunctious girl fighting her grip. "You all seem shocked and doubtful but, I swear I speak the truth right, Haji?" the guard in question remained silent and Yukari with a disappointed tone responded to him "Ah how cruel you are after so long." that's when they heard the voice from before growl out.
"Gap Hag let go of me ya son of a bitch, or errr!" It surprised them how Yukari simply deadpanned while turning her eyes to the girl who was roaring at her. Yukari told the girl hidden from the cell 13 inmate's sight with a bit of malice in her voice.
"Oh please spare me the complaints Marisa." suddenly Yukari pulled the girl into view before tossing her into the cell, though before any of the four could take in the girl's looks she flicked her hand up in seconds, with a wooden token held firmly in her palm. The now named Marisa growled out with a large amount of anger.
"Ya? well, take a goddamn master spark to the face Gap hag!" the wooden token sparked with energy which made Hajime go wide-eyed realizing that the kid wasn't playing around. Before he could try to talk her down, however, the energy dissipated as quickly as it came making her blink before saying again. "Take a Master Spark to the face!" the energy gathered for a mere second once more before ultimately fizzling out. Looking at the wooden token she growled lowly "What gives here?!" Yukari laughed before telling Marisa.
"Well simply put your magic is being sealed by that collar on your neck." Marisa blinked before taking notice of the item in question, it was silver with a green heart-shaped gem in the middle. Yukari then followed up with a sly grin on her face "Anyways Marisa don't think you can overload the seal, it would render even Yuka powerless." that left Marisa blinking for moments before finally noticing the eyes behind her. Marisa turned to see the four grown men behind her and she gained a nervous look thinking.
"That bitch left me with a bunch of guys without my magic." though seeing her glare Uno quickly tried to defuse any negative thoughts that the young girl had.
"Hey, hey before you go assuming anything we aren't going to do anything to you.." he noticed how suspicious that sounded by logic and followed up with "I mean we're prisoners an all that but in the end, we don't have any bad intentions at all." Rock followed up with.
"Uno's right we aren't crooks, just escape artists." Then it was Nico who said next.
"Yeah, your way to cute to hurt, that and you'd be the first girl I'd ever have as a friend." Nico smiled innocently as Jyugo finished off the whole thing off.
"Sides your too young to do anything with unless we'd want to walk death row and that'd be a bore to escape from." Jyugo felt a fist slam into his head with Uno hissing out.
"Jyugo shut your damn mouth that isn't helping anything at all!" Jyugo went to argue with Uno, though before anything could happen they heard Marisa laugh at their antics. After a few seconds, Marisa told them.
"Hehe, you guys seem pretty funny, anyways name's Marisa Kirisame sorry for the nasty look before Yukari left a bad taste in my mouth." Uno waved it off before adjusting his hat saying.
"It's fine, to be honest, I thought you were thinking that we were creepers or something name's Uno or this prisons 1# heartthrob and best gambler." Uno crossed his arm as Rock introduced himself next with a wide grin.
"Name's Rock and your pretty lucky Marisa chow time is what another 10 minutes from now?" Hajime nodded watching the interactions go down with little interest as Nico was next who actually pulled Marisa into a hug sparkles flying around him.
"I'm Nico, Marisa it's nice to meet you!" the other three inmates were sure Marisa would push him away or at least try to but was shocked to find she returned the hug with a bright smile of her own. Marisa felt Nico's hair and couldn't help but comment.
"Nico your hair is really soft." the green haired boy just nodded while smiling he was happy to have another friend. This left Jyugo who simply looked at the girl, who focused on his eyes before quickly moved from one side of him to another as he told her.
"I'm Jyugo nice to meet you?" it was slightly strained and honestly more like a question Jyugo wasn't used to doing this kind of making friends type of thing, he was more of a learning about people while being on the run type of guy himself. Marisa nodded before saying to him.
"Man your eyes are wicked Jyugo, in a way they almost remind me of a youkai's." that made the four remember the fact that Yukari woman had remarked herself as one. They wanted to question it, though Marisa noticed something before they could ask inquiring. "So uh guys where exactly are we?" that question the four inmates fall over themselves comically Hajime only coughed unsurprised at the girl's clueless nature, he had a few guesses where she came from he told her with a small scowl at pretty much being demoted to a child's caretaker.
"You are in Nanba Prison, the world or as you would know it the outside world's best prison. I am Hajime the supervisor of building 13, the very building that holds the cell you now will be in until further notice." he shut the door as moments of silence passed and Marisa roared out
"You're kiddin me Yukari locked me in the joint?!" Hajime nodded before stating to her.
"Yes, the best "joint" in this world and have put you with this prison's biggest nuisances." he walked off leaving Marisa to look in silence while vowing to make the day she left this prison, the day that Yukari would regret pissing her off.

Author's note-
1. So this was the side project I was working on... I know this chapter probably isn't the best but, chapter two will be longer and hopefully have better writing.
2. So yeah I found Nanbaka about two weeks ago and fell in love with the comical cast, that and the fact that Hajime looks like Ikkaku.
3. the Neptunia fic should be updated later this week as well so look out for that also!
