The blogger sat in front of his computer and looked at the blinking cursor
"Son of a bitch" he said as he looked around. He was usually blogging about the vigilantes in the city. Suddenly he got an idea "What is the difference between wrong and right when it comes to vigilantes? Simple nothing. In the eyes of the law vigilantes are stealing their job, even when they are ill-equipped for it. Let's say you have a big dude who can't be put down by most of the cops, in comes one of these vigilantes and within a couple of punches the bad guys is on the floor drooling and the cops are sneering at the hero. Not their fault is the law is too dumb to call them in for help. Heck I bet the government is helping to cover the law's collective asses in an attempt to stop the embarrassment; yeah not like they have egg on their face from the Kunugigaoka school incident, they sent in a private contractor and then they make things go to shit. I'm pretty sure that" he wrote on his blog
"I'm pretty sure that the government never meant to send in a bloody madman into a school of teenagers surrounded by an energy field. So they kill the supposed 'monster' (which was only there because of a debt to an old friend but it was the government who set up the assassination, it was the government who also bribed the kids with the incentive of 10 billion yen, increasing it to 30 billion when they noticed teamwork was effective.) Also blinding one of the students, injuring three more and killing another. Yet the students get the boot and he is walking about" Yada read out the blog
"Man this guy is someone I want to get my hands on" Nagisa said as he adjusted his tie.
"I know, he knows way too much about Class-E" Yada said "How's Sugino's case working out?"
"Slowly, we've got him down to an assault charge after they were told of the Yakuza's involvement. But in all likelihood it won't stick" Nagisa said
"That's good" Yada stretched before flopping onto the couch "And I think I'll chill all day today"
"Yeah, yeah" Nagisa said "Oh and don't forget we have that thing tonight
"What thing?" Yada blinked
"The fundraiser, you know the one a client of mine sent me an invite for" Nagisa said
"Which client?" Yada asked
"A new one, I met him last week, Arashi Hayabusa" Nagisa said
"Oh him, right okay" Yada said "I'll pick out something nice" she said sadly, Nagisa knew that tone and softly took her hand and tilted her face upwards gently.
"Just because I can't see, doesn't mean you can't dress up and doll yourself up, because I will still be able to see you in some way" Nagisa said softly kissing her
"Okay I'll see you tonight" Yada said as Nagisa left for work.
Fuwa was eating a burger when she saw Nagisa
"Hey Nagisa" Fuwa said with half of her mouth full
"Morning Fuwa, still eating healthy I see" Nagisa said
"Yeah sure" Fuwa said
"Yuzuki, I can smell the tomato sauce and pickles" Nagisa said
"Sorry, you know I can't cook well" Fuwa said
"Don't worry, the invitation to have dinner with us once a week is still open" Nagisa said
"Thanks, you know you didn't have to" Fuwa said
"We're family Fuwa," Nagisa said
"We're cousins" Fuwa deadpanned
"Still family" Nagisa said before pausing
"What's wrong?" she asked
"Okajima told me something about a threat to the city" Nagisa frowned
"I've being feeling something off in the air recently. Something is coming" Fuwa said
"What do you think?" Nagisa asked
"I have no idea, I've never sensed this before" Fuwa said
"We should be careful anyway" Nagisa said, unaware that a black ninja was watching them frowning before vanishing into the shadows.
Isogai was out and about thinking about how he was slowly changing back, but at the same time, the new version of him was here to stay. No one could go back to normal after what he went through
"You okay?" Kurahashi asked
"Yeah, I am" Isogai said as he held her hand warmly
"I'm glad, you were kind of gloomy after it happened, so seeing you smile, even though it's a bit is nice" she smiled
"I guess so" Isogai said but he looked around
"What's wrong?" Kurahashi asked
"I think we're being watched" Isogai whispered
"By who?" Kurahashi asked becoming more focused
"I can't tell" Isogai said as a shadow slipped back away from watching them. Above them the shadow walked out revealing himself to be the black ninja, he was frowning as well before disappearing. Isogai looked where the black ninja was a fraction after he disappeared
"What is it?" Kurahashi asked
"It's nothing, the feeling's gone now" Isogai said
"Should we be concerned?" Kurahashi asked
"Maybe, but for now let's go get some tea" Isogai smiled.
"Which one, which one" Yada asked as she flicked through her formal dresses "The black one with the lace sleeves, or the white on with the sweetheart neckline?" she said as she was about to give up when she saw the right one making her smile as she laid it on the bed. Once she had done that she went into the bathroom to start getting ready. She removed her robe and stepped into the shower. She moaned as she stepped under the hot water and stood underneath it for a couple of minutes enjoying the feel of the warm water. After her shower she went and brushed her hair, did some of her makeup and got dressed. Once she was dressed Nagisa finally walked in the door, she placed a black suit, red waistcoat and tie, his special formal watch and red lens sunglasses
"Yada?" he asked
"In the bedroom" Yada called out
"I hope you're ready we've got to leave in about twenty minutes" Nagisa said
"I'm ready, well almost" Yada said as she walked out in a bright red spaghetti strap dress with a slit up the side, her hair was down and she had on some light blush and Smokey eye shadow. Nagisa just saw the basic outline of her dress with his radar sense "Well, how do I look?" she asked
"You're beautiful" he said kissing her.
"Thank you" Yada said as she pulled on a pair of metallic red high heels and then went to put on some lipstick. While that was happening Nagisa got changed into the suit Yada got out for him. He looked over at the alcove
"Maybe, I should" Nagisa said
"No, you're not taking anything from the alcove. It's a party not a fight" Yada stated
"Okay, okay" Nagisa said as he adjusted his tie. Yada stepped out and grabbed a black clutch purse and straightened Nagisa's tie before walking out the front door which lead to the elevator rather than the balcony they used during their heroic activities.
"I feel so out of place here" Nagisa said frowning
"Oh relax, here, left hand" Yada said as Nagisa gripped a glass of champagne which Yada started sipping enjoying the taste. Nagisa didn't drink much alcohol but he did enjoy the odd glass.
"Should we find the host?" Nagisa asked
"He'll find us" Yada said smiling as she looked around
"Nagisa, Toka?" an elegant voice said
"Kanzaki?" Yada asked
"How are you?" Kanzaki asked walking up "It's been awhile
"It has, how have you been" Yada asked
"I'm good, But I don't go by Kanzaki anymore, I'm now Yukiko Hayabusa" she giggled
"Hayabusa, as in?" Nagisa asked
"Yep, Arashi is my husband" Yukiko said
"Oh congratulations!" Yada cheered. "But I heard a rumour that you were in an abusive relationship?"
"Abusive?" a voice boomed
"She was just saying a rumour sweetie" Kanzaki said smiling "Yada, Nagisa this is Arashi Hayabusa my husband. And the only thing I am in danger of is my husband's affections" Kanzaki said as Arashi smothered her in light kisses on her cheeks making her giggle "Arashi, cut it out we have guests" she laughed
"Don't worry, we don't mind" Yada asked "Me and Nagi are usually affectionate"
"Ah, you're Nagisa Shiota; the blind lawyer. I believe I saw you the other day" Arashi said holding out his hand
"You did, and since you're Yukiko's husband and she is one of my clients, so that mean I'll represent you in any legal trouble you have" Nagisa said as Yada directed Nagisa's hand into Arashi's
"Really, you represent Yukiko?" Arashi asked
"I do that for all of my former classmates" Nagisa said "All they have to do is ask"
"Wow, thank you Nagisa" Kanzaki said
"No problem, it was one of the main things I was going to do once I had the firm" Nagisa said
"And the Hayabusa corporation will continue to do business with the Shiota Law Firm" Arashi said
"Now, now boys enough business. Tonight we're here to have a good time and raise some funds" Kanzaki said
"I agree" Yada smiled.
Elsewhere in the city Hellcat was jumping over the rooftops looking out for anything out of the ordinary, she was concerned by Isogai's comment about being watched. It was unnerving to say the least that there was someone out there watching them without their knowledge. She was used being in the public eye since she worked at a gentlemen's club. Of course she felt uncomfortable being eye candy, most patrons there stared at her like wolves at meat. But Isogai made her feel different about the work she had to take out of desperation, but now she felt different about it in a way; like it was a way to show people who she was, and Hellcat was another side to that mentally. When she was Hellcat she was able to defend those who couldn't or wasn't able to do it themselves. Wasn't that what a hero was for. She smiled deciding that she was happy doing what she was doing, even her jumped; she fired a cable and swung off the roof flipping before she landed with a roll forward on another one and jumped onto a second roof, smiling as the thrill of free-running over came her.
"Hey Nagisa, can we talk outside for a moment" Arashi said
"Sure" Nagisa said as he and Arashi went outside. Yada smiled softly at the fact Nagisa was trying to stay calm outside of his element, which included courtrooms
"So you and Nagisa huh?" Yukiko asked
"Yeah, I mean once my job went belly up, Nagisa was having some trouble having just left home and living by himself so I asked if he needed some help with fine tuning his life and now a couple of years later we're together" Yada explained
"What about his parents?" Yukiko asked
"They moved to Kamogawa because of his maternal grandmother's not in good health, that was about two years ago, they still keep in touch" Yada said
"Oh that's good they keep in touch at least" Yukiko said. Outside Nagisa looked out at the city
"Thank you for coming tonight, it means a lot to her" Arashi said handing the blind lawyer a drink
"My pleasure, thank you for the invite" Nagisa said as he accepted the drink smiling
"Knowing Yukiko has been the best moment of my life." Arashi said
"So what did you want to discuss?" Nagisa asked. "That is why you brought us out here right?"
"You're sharp. Anyway do you know of the vigilante Daredevil?" Arashi asked
"What about him?" Nagisa asked nervous
"Well he saved my life; in around about way anyway
"What do you mean?" Nagisa asked
"I first met Yukiko when I was at the point I reached fuck it!" Arashi started "Anyway I was about to end it when Yukiko came over and stopped me, then we started seeing each other. Once she was comfortable enough with me she told me that the day before we met she was saved by Daredevil" Arashi added making Nagisa remember the time he saved Kanzaki.
It was a stormy night and he was patrolling near a high end nightclub when Kanzaki, well she was Kanzaki back then; anyway she was walking to a friend's house when a bunch of gang bangers and Kanzaki had seemed to b tipsy a bit. Once she got closer them they started catcalling her and she did the smart thing and sped up until they caught her. Daredevil jumped down spooking the thugs, looking up he knew he had the advantage there. They couldn't see in the dark. He threw a punch into the first one to try and attack him, leaving him sprawled out face first on a brick wall. Another two thugs tried to get behind him and attack him with pipes they found. Thinking quicker than them Daredevil brought out his sticks and blocked the pipes. One got a lucky hit in, and of course at this point in his career he didn't have the suit Okajima made for him, so it was pretty painful; but he fought through the pain and kicked their asses, the rain and thunder making it easier for him to visualised the arena. Once those two were down her turned to the last two and glared at them. They charged in headfirst and cocksure. But Daredevil made quick work of them. With each clap of thunder Daredvil landed a hit or blocked one of theirs. At one point he was fending off both thugs with one hands distracting them long enough for them to back him up to a wall which he used to rebound into the two of them and knocked them out. Kanzaki stood shock before smiling.
"Thank you" she said
"No problem, I'm just making sure scum like this gets the message" Daredevil said
"What message?" Kanzaki asked
"Mess around in my city and you give the devil his due" Daredevil said before he used freerunning to get out of there and onto the rooftop "You get home safely now OKAY!" he shouted back as Kanzaki left calling a cab. Daredevil crouched on the roof smiling as he heard Kanzaki get out of there safely and probably to a friend's house. Once that was done Daredevil decided he should get home and treat that injury.
"So after she told me that, I started to support the ideas those like Daredevil, Iron Fist and even the Punisher. Those who think they make a difference has my support" Arashi said
"So is that why you hired me?" Nagisa asked
"No I hired you because you're a good lawyer. I've seen your records majority of the cases you've handled have had a majority of not guilty when you were a defence lawyer and those rare prosecution cases you accept you've gotten the guilty verdict. That is why I hired you to represent us, that and the corporate lawyers are just characterless drones" Arashi said before looking up and freezing "Shit" he muttered
"Is everything okay?" Nagisa asked
"Not really" Arashi said
"What is it?" Nagisa asked using his radar sense to locate the trouble.
"A ninja just showed up and whenever he does something bad usually follows" Arashi said rushing inside. He went over to Yukiko who saw he looked panicked
"What is it?" Yukiko asked
"That black ninja showed up" Arashi said
"No, that means" Yukiko said she looked worried
"Come on, we'll get out of here and then we'll come back
"Go" Yada said "We'll cover you" she said
"Thank you" Yukiko said as the pair rushed off. However when they reached the elevator it sounded. The pair stopped as the elevator opened up to reveal several men, one of them looked like he was the ringleader.
"Yukiko" the leader said
"Hello father" Yukiko said becoming meek. Nagisa frowned as a lawyer he knew of the big fish in the pond and you get any bigger than this guy, he was the head of a much bigger law firm; Kanzaki law offices; Shin Kanzaki. Oh boy he didn't look the sight of thing. Yukiko gained some composure and looked at her father in the eyes "Please leave" she said only to be smacked hard by her father sending her to the floor
"YUKIKO!" Arashi panicked
"I'm fine" Yukiko winced as she touched the slap marks. Shin's bodyguard aimed at Arashi.
"So you're the scum that my daughter married" Shin said
"So what?" Arashi asked
"She can do better and I will make sure of that, once you two sign these" Shin said holding out papers. Yada and Nagisa were mad, in fact Yada reached under her skirt for a smaller sai she carried with her in case. Nagisa had to hold her back which in turn made Yada hold him back. The two looked at each other. Yukiko looked shocked and Arashi's blood was boiling. Shin's smile faltered when the papers he was holding were embedded into a wall. He looked and saw the black ninja from before and frown. Yukiko and Arashi got a good look at him, and their theory that he dressed in black was correct, but not the golden trim. The ninja bowed and glared at Shin and his men
"Ronin" Shin said as he signalled his men to attack Ronin, but he was faster and used a palm strike to the first bodyguard before tripping up the second one. The third bodyguard tried to fire his sidearm, only to have shuriken embed in the guard's hand as the fourth bodyguard as taken down by Ronin's nunchaku which he then turned into the fifth one and swiped his legs out of him before turning to Shin and shoving his katana into his face, a centimetre away from his face
"And what can I do for you?" Shin asked
"Leave them alone" Ronin said
"And if I don't?" Shin asked
"I won't hold my blade back" Ronin said before backing off and jump kicked Shin making him stumble as he dropped smokebombs. Once the smoke clear Shin was out cold in the elevator with his men before it went down. Yukiko sighed and looked sad
"I guess the event's over now" she said sadly
"Don't worry my beautiful wife. It was still a good night despite the end. And it is going" Arashi said.
After another hour or so the event wound up and everyone left while giving their apologies for the interruptions. Nagisa and Yada comforted Yukiko before leaving. Yada dropped a subtle hint of what her profession was to Yukiko who nodded, knowing that one day she could call on her services. Once everyone left Yukiko collapsed onto Arashi and cried, she just felt so powerless at what her father nearly did. She loved Arashi dearly and her father nearly broke them up. Nagisa had examined the paper with yada's help and they were divorce papers. Just after reading what they were Nagisa burnt them with a scowl on his face. Yada comforted her old friend as best as she could. But she could tell Nagisa was ready for a fight.
Once Nagisa got home he changed into Daredevil before jumping back into the streets. He had a particular prey tonight and he wasn't going to stop until he found him. However he stopped when something popped up on his radar sense. It was Ronin; the ninja who had saved Kanzaki from her father. Daredevil landed and looked around. Soon Ronin rose and bowed to Daredevil
"Good evening" Ronin said
"Hi" Daredevil said slowly getting into a defensive stance
"Calm Daredevil, I mean you no harm, in fact I am a friend" Ronin said
"How do I know that?" Daredevil asked
"Because" Ronin said removing his mask shocking Daredevil
"No, no it couldn't be" Daredevil gasped
"I, Ronin am Ryunosuke Chiba" Ronin said as he revealed himself to be Chiba.
G'day guys Grizz here with the next chapter and ooh boy who was expecting Chiba to be the black ninja in the first chapter, considering he's more of a sniper. Well my logic was choosing Chiba was simple in the comics Hawkeye adopted the title Ronin after the Civil War and join the New Avengers in the comics so why not make him Ronin for ACDH when he was Hawkeye in ACH and why was he protecting Kanzaki and her husband will be revealed in the next chapter, also the next Crossover File is the Daredevil chapter where Nagisa starts as Daredevil.
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside
