I stared out the big window of my luxurious apartment absentmindedly poking my stomach. I sighed as I felt that familiar pain in said stomach. I hadn't eaten in a week.

Oh well, I'll just have to fix that tonight, won't I.

People mulled around in the street below me, going on as if I didn't even exist. How pitiful, I was completely aware of every single one of my humans yet they refused to acknowledge my existence and never returned my love like they should.

Maybe I should stir things up while I'm out to get a bite to eat, nay?

.:~Shizuo~:.

I looked at the tall buildings, watching as orange light glimmered off the reflective surface. Night was quickly approaching and I couldn't help but to feel a little anxious about the dept-collecting tonight. Tom said that apparently the guy had been refusing to pay up for a few years now, and would get aggressive when someone came so they just ignored him seeing as he was from the Yakuza. That is until I came.

I'll put that guy in his place; he won't even know what was coming.

The shadows on the street were getting longer and the serene bliss of twilight was long gone. I made my way around the last corner and came to the nook of a small alley. Tom was slumped against the wall his usual bored expression on his face.

"Took ya long enough." Tom said and scooted off the wall, and started to walk farther off into the alley. "Some of the locals said the guy hung out around here every night with his Yakuza buddies, but you don't have to worry about them." We neared our destination and slowed down at the sound of voices.

"Soooo, does Shiki-san have any goods for me?" Questioned an eloquent voice that sounded sure of what he was saying.

"No, he doesn't. In fact, he never will." Replied another gruff voice. "I'm here to end you."

The sound of laughing flooded down the alleyway and I started to get curious on who would laugh such a cold harsh laugh at a threat of death. It pissed me off.

"W-why are you laughing at me? I'm serious!"

"You actually think I care? Like you could hurt me anyway. You think that just because you're in with the Yakuza, in with Shiki-san, that you can defeat me. You're in way over your head, you don't even know what I truly am, do you? You were just sent here to test me by Shiki, and he didn't even tell you any of the details. How pitiful! You're nothing; I couldn't even use you for my own gain." The elegant voice trolled the gruff one.

"How dare you!" Said the Gruff voice angrily. Said voice then yelled a battle cry and then footsteps were heard. I stepped further down the alley curiosity getting the better of me. My pace quickened as I heard the sound of battle, not even bothering to listen to Tom's protests. I got to a corner when I heard it. A strangled gasp left the Gruff-voiced man and his last words wondered down the alley way to my ears. "Y-y-you're a-a va…" His sentence wasn't even complete when his last breath left him when I rounded the corner. I gasped at the bloody scene and looked around for the culprit whom I assumed was the smoothed voiced guy. I just barely caught a glance of a black coat out of the corner of my eye.

"That's right…you were the goods." Came that condescending voice that drifted down to me, giving his final words to the person he killed.

"The Fuck?" I said angrily. I can't believe that ass-hat got away. Dammit.

I stared at the dead body of a complete stranger and wondered what exactly a guy like him did to deserve such a cruel fate.

"That's our guy." Said Tom even though his voice sounded smooth I could tell he was shaken up by what had just happened.

"Yeah, somebody beat us to him." I said solemnly. "We gonna call the ambulance?"

"Naw, someone will find him, if we call the cops we'll get questioned and that'll be a nuisance. Besides the dude's already dead." Said Tom.

"I wonder what he was going to say before he died." I asked curiously.

If only Shizuo looked a little closer at the guy, he would have figured out what the eloquent voiced guy was.

"What about the other guy?" Asked Tom.

"I dunno, but whoever the guy was, he pissed me off." I said aggravated.

"Well that's it for today; I thought it was going to take a little longer so I didn't plan anything else. By…"

Hey Guys. chapter 2, sorry it wasn't very long but they will get longer. The story is only just getting started.

Anyway,

Ciao
