Hey guys. Sorry for my absence! New chapter here, I've just been real busy.

To Shadowhawk: Thanks for the reviews, you have good points. And it's true, Hei isn't a TRUE contractor. He doesn't have a price and uses his sister's ability, or got his power from her. He's like a tiny piece of her power compared to how much she can do.

SP's PoV

I'd never seen Discord's face, but I knew it would always carry an arrogant smirk. I could just imagine it. I was sure he was handsome, it was obvious, but he would certainly be the bragging type. But Hei's voice flashed in my ears. Stay hidden, keep quiet. It's annoying really, I love it when I kick the snake's butt. Alas, I have to do the rational thing. Discord comes charging at me and I quickly put up a black hole. He flies into it and I place another black hole on the opposite side of Tokio, some hundred miles away. That should keep him busy.

Unfortunately, it didn't work. One of his boas latched onto the brick top before my enemy was thrown across the city. Pulling his master up, the snake disappeared once Discord got back to his feet. "Bad move, star." You could just tell he had a smirk on under the mask. Hissing expanded around my feet and heavy objects rested around her. Darkness swelled under the reptiles, dragging Almond and Discord's servants underground.

For a moment he seemed surprised, so I tripped him from behind, stepping from a second black hole. Out shot a hammer which I planned to snap at his head. The older boy rolled to the side and the tool cracked the brick. That's when a voice crackled in my ear. Our whole group had special one-ear-plugs that acted like a walkie-talkie. "I'm coming up, stay hidden!"

I looking over to see Discord listening to something similar. While he was distracted, I wrapped him in black. Turning from his message, the teenager tried to walk over to Supernover. Instead my energy controlled him. I willed the snake to walk to the edge of the building, the boy still struggling. "Hope you can eat cement, cold blood." Then Discord fell over board. At that, whips flashed and I heard the sound of choking. Hei had arrived.

At that point I was hissing. And I don't mean just like the average person does, I mean I was literally hissing, forked tongue and all. Supernova's attention must've been directed someplace else because a second after falling it seemed my paralysis was weakening. Luckily, I could control snakes with my mind, no need for physical interaction. A large black shadowed reptile snuck out of the corner of a window on the building. Long and slimy, it latched onto a pole and shot out. Fangs punctured my arm and pulled me up.

The creature had poison, but snake bites or snake anything never harmed me. Besides, it was helpful. Do you know the partial reason why I'm called Discord? It's because of my payment. Through the window was a young woman typing, unknown to the fact she was about to be killed. Discord means havoc. Will I wreak havoc everywhere I go. Slipping through the glass the girl looked up in surprise. Cupping my hand around her mouth, fangs grew from my canines.

You know the stories about vampires? Well with me, it's real. Not sure why, but my payment is drinking blood. It's really tasty, the metallic. So I act like a vampire; it's really fun. Sinking them deep into her neck, poison is put in and red cells are taken out. When I'm done with her, I just throw her out of the window.

By the time I get back to the top of the skyscraper, Hei and Supernova are already gone; along with the package. Cursing, it's time to go back to Huang's.

Some odd hours later

"I hate that little bitch!" I screamed. You know what I like to do when I'm mad? Punch the wall. A large crack appears on both the stone and my hand. Blood seeps out. Falling onto a couch, I put my mouth over it and suck it up. It's like a heavenly drink, really like a drug or something. June's just standing by himself not speaking, as usual.

I really can't stand Supernova. It was supposed to be my glory, everyone was supposed to know about my. Now she's the newest and youngest best contractor. Everyone knows about her. They know about me two but I'm in second place. And the big factor is that she's better than me! I'm supposed to always win, I was supposed to be the strong and feared. But I was replaced before I even got a chance.

Almond's PoV

I don't know what the package is. I recover it, keep it in my black holes, and hand it to Hei. Then he takes it. Thanks a ton, Black Reaper. But honestly, I could care less. Discord failed hard yesterday. But now it was time for school.

Quickly getting ready, I opened up a hole before I scratched my arms. Appearing a block from school, I continued walking. Suddenly I saw Hisoka. Being Akira now, I was stuck coming over. "Hello." He seemed engaged in thought because the boy didn't answer. Suddenly I noticed a long mark running across his hand. I tried to grab it."Omigod, what happened?!" Honestly, I could care less.

The quiet guy quickly snatched away his hand. He looked panicked. I grabbed it back. It was a medium-sized mark that stretched along his knuckles, small white lines around it. There was dried blood caked around it. Hisoka put it up to his mouth. He suddenly seemed to have some weird pleasure. When he let go of his pages, the blood was cleaner. The scar seemed to be healing slightly. The boy was weird.

"Sorry, Akira. I just got surprised by your sudden touch." He told me. I glanced at his face, then shook it away."What happened? It looks bad."

"Nah, I just tripped yesterday and slashed my hand."

"Get it cleaned up, ok?"

"'Course."

We continued in silence, shoulders brushing slightly. I really didn't appreciate having to be friendly with this boy, it was annoying enough stuck with my guy and girl bffs. As we enter the school Chiyo is seen speaking with Katia, and Fuyu and Natsu wave excitedly. A group of freshman scutter past Hisoka and I, red cheeks and binders up to their noses. "Hey Hisoka!" Katia muttered, brightening. Chiyo went over to Fuyu and rolled his eyes. I was shoved aside by my bestie and suddenly she was flashing out with questions.

My character grinned and chuckled at her obvious crush. This was just great, the new kid was already in our group. Minutes later the bell rang. We all rushed to class and Hisoka fell in behind me. "Seems we have math together."
