Vendetta.

Earlier today, the Tokyo Tower was miracuosly spared from burning to the ground by schoolgirl turned celebrity Yako Katsuragi, the remarkable detective alerted police and the sharp burst of fire was quickly extinguished mere seconds before it caused any extreme damage. The method of coating the landmark in gasoline is still under investigation as is the perpetrator...
*CLICK*

Yako dropped her extended arm, letting the remote control drop to the floor, the echoing sound as it connected with the floor sounded throughout the strangely empty office, she stood facing the large dark window at the back of the detective agencies office. The rain outside was predicted to get heavier than it's already hammering strength and she stared past her wavering reflection into the dark abyss of Tokyo.

'Neuro! Stop Neuro Come back! You Demon! You DEMON!'

Darker in more ways than one.

Pressing her forehead onto the cool glass she let the sound of the rushing rainwater enter her clouded mind, the continuing sound of clearing it momentarily of any bitterness and she crunched the letter that demon had left for her.
A letter of challenge.
A letter of release.
A letter in her own eyes, albeit surprising, as one of utmost betrayel.

Opening her eyes Katsuragi Yako, highschool detective. Daughter, friend and above all...human, crumpled up the paper in her hand and threw it into the waste paper basket next to the outline of where a large desk was previously situated.

As it fluttered into the trash, hitting the bottom as Yako kicked at the meaningless office supplies around her, the writing side stood out.

Louse, Woodworm, Yako,
Grow strong, Grow insanely strong, Grow past what is capable of your pathetic ability. Grow to meet the climax my body aches for you to achieve, only then will I allow you to find me. Me and my new more worthy assistant. Do you honestly think this would last longer than the time it took for me to vanquish my hunger? A termite like you has only held me down thus far, and now, with other means of replenishing my hunger, challenges await! Strengthen that mystery around you LOUSE, give me reason to hold interest in you.

And don't let anyone else have the privellage of devouring you, Yako.
THAT. Is my right alone.

Come and get me worm, let us partake in a palpitating chase to make up for your disgusting display of ability.
WE'LL be waiting.
Neuro.

'Bastard. That no good, inhumane, monstrous..' her mind hurt at the effort of finding words to insult the creatures embodiment. All of it fitted him to well to contain any scorn. Any venom. Any release.
Yako crouched down on the floor, hand over her burnt stomach, her graduation robes scorched her shoulders heavy at the sudden release. And her eyes dry and full of purpose.

'Yako...?'
Katsuragi stood up slowly turning her head an inch to take in the figure of her best friend in the doorway of the office.
A look of concern met her eyes and she let her shoulders droop further, her head following suit.

'So...he really left then huh?' Kanae spoke carefully, taking Yako's disheveled form into consideration, the girl hadn't even stopped to be treated by the ambulance that had arrived after the fire. 'That bastard, that stupid piece of ignorant dog shit. What of ti Yako? That guy was shady to begin with, Good riddance!' Kanae laughed the last part out, flipping her hair comically for the account of Yako, she crossed her arms and turned her back on Yako, who was now regarding her with tired eyes.

'Look on the bright side, he left you the sweet pad, you can turn this into whatever you want now, An apartment, a Club, or even a cafe! Ne Yako? Wouldn't that be...'

'No.'

Kanar turned around quickly at the sharp and solid answer that came from her long term best friend, her eyes widening at the now renewed and strong stance she carried herelf in.
A look of venom in her eyes however, invaded.

'This, will remain a Detective agency,' Yako whispered, she walked over to the waste paper bin and lifted the yellow sheet of industrial paper out of it, 'It won't close down just because someone finds it a waste of time...'Yako began to rip the paper into small shreds, over and over again in folds, tearing it. 'It wont shut down! I'm a detective! I'll carry on in my work! I'll carry on solving crimes on my own! I'll do everything I can do and more so without the assistance of some no good, inhumane..*rip*.bastards*rip* narcissistic,'

Thunder crashed as a bolt of lightning lit up the room.

'DEMON!' Yako yelled throwing the confetti made letter at the bin, her frustration as the pieces fluttered around her released in an almighty yell.

'DO YOU HEAR ME? I WONT SHUT DOWN!' she allowed the tears to fall now, heavier than outside, heavier than they ever had been in her life. Kanae watched on helpless, unable to walk fore-ward.
'He won't best me.' Yako gasped in between sobs.

He'll answer for this abandonment.

'I'll get stronger' Yako spoke decidedly standing up and looking Kanae straight in the eyes.

He'll answer for this betrayal.

Kanae smiled, tears coating her eyes, the rain stopped and a ray of light shone out somewhere behind the dark grey clouds. Somewhere, hidden at that time, a pair of green eyes took the scene in and creased in excited amusement before dissapearing forever.

Katsuragi Yako, Graduated Detective. Daughter. Friend and Human smiled past her best friend through the open door behind her. Securing the challenge and with it, sealing a Vendetta inside herself.

'This. I promise.'

Short chapter first hand, thought I'd explain a little here.
This is a method for me to get back into the swing of writing.
A kind of release if you will.

This isn't going to be a one-shot.
Oh no sir.
This'll be a long and hopefully well worded fanfic.

But I apologise in the future for the long wait for chapters.

I want to do this right.

.X.

RnR if you can.

Reviews spur on the writer I guess?
