Notes: Neuro's POV. Note to Nomaen at end.

I rather fitting role for me, if I do say so myself.

If only there was a mystery in the mix, it would be truly perfect.

The police even had the gull to ask me if I needed help with this-as if I would have trouble intimidating humans.

All that was required was a show of my skill set. A very small show at that.

Walking into the most "dangerous" part of town and bumping into the smelliest vermin there was enough to get an audience.

And after easily flooring six of them, it ingrained enough fear into the one left to send him running.

By the end of the day-and twenty goons later-I had an interview with the top slug himself.

"So, you're the man who has generated so much...talk among my men. Now,if I may ask, what group do you belong to?"

I rather enjoy these rare times when I can just be myself. I had been "briefed" that my "usually kind personality" wouldn't go over to well here. I had to suppress a smile at how easily humans were fooled.

Though, in my current setting, I don't suppose I needed to stop it after all.

My smile was far from innocent however. "Unfortunately I haven't had the privilege of aligning myself with any group in particular."

Most of the vermin jumped at my smile, but I noticed the top slug and the vermin guarding him weren't so easily frightened.

"Then why exactly did you attack my men?" The tops slug's voice didn't sound as friendly as before.

"I didn't. It was merely...self defense that might have gone a bit over board. But is there really such a thing when it comes to personal safety?" I kept my eyes locked onto the tops slug's, and the vermin guarding him reached for their guns. Pathetic fools.

The top slug was smiling however. "I can't say I disagree with you there. Tell me then, what's your name?"

"I just mentioned personal safety is so important to me, and the leader of a group of Yakuza wants to know my name? Why would I give you information that might make my life difficult in the future?"

There was a pause and general shock that I refused to answer a direct question from the top slug himself.

"So, you won't tell me?" The top slug said very softly.

"No." I smiled back. "If you must call me something, I suppose 'N' may do."

*Cheh* The sound resounded through the room. "Stop the arrogant fool from ever speaking another word!"

While the worms in the back stood frozen at this command, the slugs near the top slug quickly pulled out their guns and opened fire.

A shame, really, for they ended up hitting some of their own worm teammates as I dodged the bullets. I had to be annoyingly careful to barely dodge them as well. It would be bothersome if they realized just how strong I really was.

I straightened as the gun firing ceased.

"You're more then you seem I see." The top slug smiled an unpleasant grin. "How would you like to join the Emperor of the South's group?"

I held back my distain. An ant that other ants make a general tries to make itself an emperor. How sickened that ant would be if he knew he had met a real aristocrat.

"I can't believe the Emperor let him get away with it!"

"And asked him to join too!"

"What's worse is the fact the Emperor made the creep a shateigashira before going through the sake ritual!"

"At least you guys aren't under hi-"

"Hello."

My arrival quickly silenced their whispers.

"And, pray tell, what is so bad about being my underling?"

A cold sweat broke out on the three worm's foreheads, and I smiled at their slight trembling.

"N-nothing at all N-sama! P-please excuse us for blocking your path!" The three disappeared as quickly as their pathetic limbs could carry them.

Such a delightful place this Yakuza headquarters is. It's almost a shame to completely ruin it.

"N." The clear voice of one of the slugs who was supposed to be "over" me traveled down the hallway to me. How bothersome.

"Yes sir?" I forced a somewhat non-threatening smile. Though not as non-threatening as thought, seeing the slug's reaction.

"The Emperor wanted you to know he's planning a feast for your enjoyment this afternoon. He said he's expecting great things from you in this organization."

So he expected me to make a great pawn then.

"Tell him I am truly flattered, and he needs not do such a thing for the likes of me." It would be annoy as heck and I wouldn't be able to eat anything this slug brains cooked up anyway. Not to mention they didn't even know my dietary needs.

"He insists. Dinner will be at six."

I hissed to myself as he left. I knew I only had a few days to make a mark here, and I hated the thought that a whole evening would be wasted because of the worm who wanted to be king.

.

"Wonderful! Isn't it?" The worm [abbr] king smiled brightly as he downed his fifth glass of sake and hugged two women plastered on either side of him.

I forced a smile as I accepted the fourth sake glass I'd been poured and considered how to dump it out. The female worm smoothered against my arm was making it more difficult to so discreetly, as well as getting germs all over my sleeve.

This was definitely one of the most difficult things I had ever had to do in this world. I'd rather have been shot any day. At times like this I truly missed Yako being there to get me out of these types of situations. She always seemed to know what words to say to get the right reactions from worms such as these.

"It certainly is." I said with what I hoped sounded at least a little sincere.

"Why is the Emperor showing HIM so much favor?"

"The Emperor even gave him the prettiest girl!"

"He's drunken how many glasses of sake now? And he doesn't look the least bit drunk!"

The worms here really did enjoy gossiping didn't they? A glare in their direction quickly silenced them.

"May may, you certainly know how to deal with small fry don't you." The worm [abbr] king said with a chuckle.

I smiled back.

Yes, I certainly did.

After a quick patrol of the area and a little investigating on the Yakuza business front, I finally went to the room I had been assigned. A private room, which had gotten a lot of glares from the worms who did not have the same.

I was very careful to check the door for booby-traps, since I had already had a few worms try to knife me. To their horror they were unsuccessful.

So I wasn't completely surprised to find there were none. I believed I had made my point about just how scary I could be. The worms who were supposed to be the same level as me had taken to calling me 'sama' and even a few above were doing the same.

What I was surprised about however, was to find the female worm from dinner sitting on my bed waiting for me.

"N-sama." She bowed so low her forehead touched the ground. "Yoroshiku onegaishimasu."

*Cheh* I guess it wasn't a private room after all. Perhaps I had misunderstood the worm that had showed me around.

I tried to hide my annoyance as a searched my brain for her name. "Ayame." A smile and nod would be sufficient here right?

I changed into the robe I'd been given [in the bathroom like Yako had told me to do instead of in front of others] and came back out to find the female worm in the same kneeling position I had left her in.

I considered what to do before finally just getting into the bed. If the worm wanted to sleep that way it was none of my business.

However the covers lifted on the other side as she gave up her praying ritual to go to sleep as well.

"N-sama?" The female abruptly stuck her fingers in my hair and pulled lightly to turn my head.

To my surprise she wasn't wearing any clothing. I had never once seen Yako sleep nude, but suppose Yakuza women were different.

"What is it?" My cold stare seemed to take her aback. "Um, tonight…"

Her long pause made me sigh. "It's going to be a long day tomorrow. I would prefer if you not bother me or interrupt my sleep."

Her eyes widened and she pulled her hand back in surprise. "Y-yes sir."

Annoying worm.

.

For the next couple days I was careful to be as scary and 'helpful' around others as I could without arising suspicion. Needless to say, the assassination attempts stopped, and worms seemed to disappear when I walked down hallways.

The icing on the cake was when I reported to the worm [abbr] king I thought one of his worm aides was about to turn on him. I was quickly rebuked, for this particular worm was "as loyal as a well fed dog". A rebuke I had to grind my teeth through just to keep me from killing the worm who dared criticize me. And thus I…asked the "loyal" worm to turn over any big crimes he had done to the police-for you see, when, no if he got out of jail I was going to pay him another visit.

The entire clan was shocked at the development, when the "loyal" worm went to do so. Assuming the worm had gone to tattle on the group as I planned. The top slug was, of course, impressed with me; remembering how I had warned him of such.

"You seem to be fitting in here nicely." His smile was genuine. "I definitely see a future for you here."

I smiled back. Not quite so genuinely as him, but he didn't need to know that. "Why thank you. I look forward to the future then."

"It may be sooner than you think. Rumor has it in these past few days you have made quite a name for yourself among my men. I'm considering giving you the traitor's position as reward for warning me of his betrayal. But, you see, I need proof of your loyalty first."

He held up an envelope.

"I need you to get me one Yako Katsuragi."

Nomaen: Thank you! *hug back* Lol. For you I suppose xP Though I did miss being here and hearing from my readers (^_^)

Nope, this will not be the final arc. I still have the kidnapping dude to deal with, as well as a few other loose ends. There will be at least three more arcs I figure.

Yeah, Todoroki can't really help it. She's the straight-man of the group though, so it's how most people would view the situation no doubt.

Ahahaha, yep. He's oblivious to bad things is how I would put it. Though that's what people tend to find endearing about him, since he seems to think the best of them no matter what.

Nah, he's not the type to be tough. You'll have to see about his character development later tho.

Nope, look forward to more (^_^) Aahahahaha. Tis what you get xP
