"H-How!?" Randall coughed out blood. "Why can you manipulate bases as well!? I didn't use that on you the first time!"

Mizutsuki rolled her eyes. "Well, you see, asshole; after I left that goddamn party that night, I went back to my dorm to write an essay on Hatsu. My Hatsu was formed within seconds under a rash decision to keep myself alive right? As I was writing the essay, I realized that have only one ability is too pitiful. If an enemy gets wind that I have only one ability, I'm doomed to loose. Therefore, after careful decision and calculation, I decided to inject strong bases into myself."

"You injected bases into yourself!?" He choked.

"Yeah." Mizutsuki nodded. "It's simple high school chemistry. When you put an acid and a base together, you get an acid-base neutralization reaction which produces a salt and water. The products are practically harmless to the human body, so the procedure didn't really hurt much. And as a result, I could manipulate and transmute both acids and bases at the same time."

"I thought that it was Konatsu who undid your restrains the first time. You were already free by the time he was there?"

She smiled. "Yep. After all, it's stupid to reveal abilities in front of people right? You always keep your Ace as your last card. I didn't report this second ability to the Camorra either; rebel aren't I?" She grabbed his hair and smashed his face against the wall. "If you wanna fool your enemies, you have to fool your comrades first. You should feel honored; you're the only other living human being that knows about this apart from me so far. Even the Ryodan members don't know about it. "

"Gapuh…" Randall spat out blood and a few pieces of teeth. "Ha…"

"Well, it's required to hide at least two abilities from each other anyways." Mizutsuki said thoughtfully as she continued to smash his face against the wall. The wooden wall was splattered with blood and it was starting to crack. "It's common sense, really. I'll tell you something else too. I hide two abilities from the members. One is about the bases, which I checkmated you with just now. And the other is that I'm pretty handy with weapons."

"Weapons?" Randall echoed. You could barely tell what he looked like. His face was just a pile of mushy, bloody goo.

"Yep. I know my chemistry and I can make my own explosives if the situation calls for it. I'm a hundred percent accurate shot when it comes to firearms. You can toss me any random weapon ever invented and I'd be able to use it to its fullest potential. It's a skill I achieved from training back at the Mafia. It's not much but it's good. The other members are convinced that I'm only good with knives and just somewhat decent with other weapons. The truth is that I'm skilled in every weapon possible. I don't think that they'll ever notice this unless I tell it to them in their face."

Randall was barely conscious now and she threw him onto the ground carelessly. "It's a good thing I have a flat chest." She said to herself. "I don't think that anyone would notice even if I didn't wear my bandages." As she said this she pulled her light blue shirt back and jumped into her jeans. "Now… what do I do with you?" She turned around to look at Randall.

"Kill…me…"

Mizutsuki shook her head. "Nope. That's out of the options. You have to pay for what you've done to me and Konatsu, and probably every other women you've tortured."

Randall laughed shakily. "I-I remember now, why I was so obsessed with you at first sight. I had a few brothels and whorehouses under the name of the family at that time. And I had a whore that looked exactly like you!"

Mizutsuki pulled a knife out of a drawer and admired it. "Don't call me a whore." She said. "I admit that I've slept with guys before, but I can assure you it was because that the room was our hideout and I have no choice but to put up with their horrible snoring all night."

"No! I'm serious!" Randall gasped. "One of the princes of the Kakin Empire came once and he loved her! He almost wanted to buy her off my hands! It's her attitude, he said. Every woman he ever came in touch with all snagged onto him just because he was a prince. She was the only one who refused to accept him!"

"Not my business." Mizutsuki declared and decided that the knife was just the thing she needed to make him suffer.

"You're the same too! You're refusing me!"

"A little correction there." Mizutsuki said as she searched the cabinets of BDSM toys. "I'm not refusing you, I refused you. Get your present tense and past tense straight." She found a jar of honey and dipped her finger into it and gave it a thoughtful lick. "This should just do fine."

"W-What are you doing?"

"Teaching you the correct way of BDSM." Mizutsuki replied as she dug her knife into his knees and sliced apart the ligaments in the joint. "You suck too much at it."

Randall screamed in pain as she worked her way from his toes to his knees to his hips to his spine and to his arms and shoulders. She made sure that she destroyed every last ligament there was in his body. After that, she dipped her finger into the jar of honey and smeared the thick mixture over his wounds. The honey seeped into the cuts that were deep to the bones. Lastly, she dumped the remains of the jar all over his head and smeared it over his face.

"What's the point of this?" Randall snapped. "How are you going to make me suffer just by dumping honey on me!?"

Mizutsuki smiled. "I was just afraid that you'd be lonely." She pulled him onto a chair and made sure he was seated well. She patted him on the shoulder. "Goodbye!"


When the Ryodan arrived, they were not surprised to discover that the whole house was littered with corpses with their face melted off.

"This is just like how we met her." Feitan muttered. "Faceless corpses everywhere and she took our target."

"Her target is our target this time and she's part of us." Shalnark coughed. "Let's go. Konatsu, can you tell us where kitchen is? She's more likely to appear there."

"How come?" Konatsu frowned. "Shouldn't she be in the library?"

"Nah." Machi shook her head. "Knowing Mizu, she'd probably get the book from the library then go down to the kitchen to have a snack while reading."

Nobunaga scratched the back of his head. "Geh, I just hope that she has enough common sense that she shouldn't eat chips while reading, it'll get the book greasy."

"Lead way, Konatsu." Phinks pushed the teenage boy forwards.


"Oh hey guys." Mizutsuki waved casually as she popped a potato chip into her mouth. "I was waiting for you guys."

Nobunaga facepalmed. "What did I just say…"

Mizutsuki looked confused. "I don't know, what did you say? Anyways do you guys want a chip…!" She was glomped by a Konatsu who was sobbing out of joy. "ONEE-CHAN!"

Mizutsuki was flabbergasted and she looked towards the others for help. They seemed just as shocked as she was.

You guys aren't helpful at all… She thought sourly and patted Konatsu's back. "There, there, Konatsu-chan." She nodded. "Onee-chan's fine and alive and in one piece. I'm not missing any limbs, see?"

Konatsu sat up and wiped his tears away. "I was afraid the onee-chan would die and it'd be my fault."

Mizutsuki frowned. "Why would it be your fault if I died?"

"I attacked you and got you here, but you saved me from being deceived by Randall! I would have to live with guilt for the rest of my life if you died!"

Mizutsuki ruffled his hair with a smile. "There, there, Konatsu, man up. Don't cry!"

Konatsu wiped a tear away. "You're the only one who has been truly nice to me other than the sisters and my friends back at the church." He spoke. "I thought that Randall was nice to me, but he wasn't. Although your methods were violent, you cared for me and threw me out of the window."

"I'm sorry but I'd prefer if you omitted the violent part; and I actually have no memory of that." Mizutsuki laughed hastily. "But you're alive and you met up with the others. By the why, where's Porcupine?"

"We let him run away." Machi shrugged. "He's not much use if we aren't allowed to track down the Chain Guy."

Konatsu tilted his head slightly. "What is it about Gon and Killua with the Chain Guy though?" He asked. "I keep hearing it from you guys but I don't understand it."


(Insert scene of members explaining the romantic history between them and the Chain guy to Konatsu here.)


Konatsu nodded slowly. "I see… so you're not allowed to kill the Chain Guy, because it might cause Danchou-san harm?"

"Precisely." Shalnark nodded with a sigh.

"Why didn't you guys capture them and blackmail the Chain Guy to get rid of Danchou's chains though?" Konatsu asked innocently. "Wouldn't that work?"

Mizutsuki turned to hit her head against the wall. Machi groaned. Shalnark facepalmed. Nobunaga stood there shocked and petrified. Phinks' jaw dropped open. Feitan buried his face in his hands.

WE'RE ALL IDIOTS.

Mizutsuki turned to Konatsu. "Okay, whatever that has been done has been done and we cannot change it. They're probably on their way out of the country now anyways. So Konatsu, here's a question for you. Do you want to join us?" She asked. "I mean, you've got nowhere to go now right? Come join the Ryodan."

Konatsu's eyes widened. "Can I?"

Mizutsuki nodded. "Yeah, as long as they agree too. Which I'm pretty sure they will…" She raised an eyebrow at her fellow members.

They nodded.

Konatsu beamed. "Thank you! Thank you guys! Thank you onee-chan!" He hugged Mizutsuki again and Mizutsuki laughed.

"We can call them the Chemistry Siblings now…" Feitan muttered.

"Chemistry siblings? What's that?" Mizutsuki asked, puzzled.

"Your abilities both have something to do with Chemistry." Shalnark explained.

"Oh."

Feitan walked over to the table and picked up the book with the Black Cover. It had a potato chip as a bookmark and he tossed the chip over his shoulder.

"Oy Fei! You made me lose my page!"

Feitan kicked her in the shin. "No one cares about you." He said icily. "The book is priority and we're not going to let you damage it any further."

"You know that I can get rid the stains with my ability easily enough… Do you mean that if we're in a fire, you'd rather save the book than me?"

Nobunaga rolled his eyes. "Duh."

Mizutsuki looked genuinely offended. "Beg pardon?" She screeched.

Shalnark cleared his throat. "So Mizu, how is the book? What is it about?"

The question took a second to answer as she tried to form a good summary in her head. In the end she gave up because it was hard to form into words. "I'll just tell you that it's good." She said. "It's pretty intense with a good plot. But I understand why there's a legend where you'd become unfortunate if you read it now. Look at it with Gyo."

The others did as she told and they saw that the book was covered with a thick, black aura that radiated evil in all directions.

Mizutsuki opened the book to the last page. "Apparently, the last page – the ending – was never written out. It was never published or included in this book. And as you get into the story deeper and deeper, you'd get insanely thirsty and hungry for the ending. But when you flip to the last page and realize that there's no last page, you'd get swallowed up by sorrow and despair. The story is so good that cannot having the ending would drive people to suicide. And so the Nen these dead readers wrapped itself around this book and caused it to become cursed."

"Why are you fine after reading it?" Machi questioned.

"Oh, it's simple. I'm the kind to flip to the last page of a book first before I start reading the whole thing. I know that there would be no ending, so I was able to keep my mind while reading it."

Konatsu nodded. "Okay, that makes sense… By the way, onee-chan, where is he? Did you kill him?"

Mizutsuki laughed. "Of course not! You said that you wanted to kill him yourself right? I just made him immobile. C'mon, I'll show you guys."


"Hey Randall, Konatsu's here to say hi." Mizutsuki smiled as she turned on the lights. "Are you getting along with your new friends?"

Mizutsuki's jolly attitude was the exact opposite to the horrified expressions of Phinks, Nobunaga, Machi, Shalnark, and Konatsu. Only Feitan gave an approving nod.

Randall was still breathing, but only barely. Cockroaches, ants, flies, and rats covered every inch of his skin, feasting off the honey Mizutsuki had dumped in his wounds and his flesh.

"It's an old house." Mizutsuki explained. "I suspected that there'd be some rats and cockroaches nesting in here somewhere but I didn't think that there'd be this much. Hell yeah bonus!"

"What the hell…" Phinks stammered. "That's just too cruel."

Mizutsuki turned to him with an innocent but dangerous tilt of her head. "He abused and tormented women, he tricked Konatsu for years, and he almost raped me twice. Are you saying that he doesn't deserve this?"

"On second thought…" Phinks backed away from her. "Yes, he totally deserved this."

"I should add this to my list of torture ideas." Feitan mumbled.

Nobunaga shook his head and sighed. "You should never piss off women; especially when she's already a psychopath. I guess that he learned the fact the hard way."

"It's not a fact to learn, its common sense." Machi replied.

Mizutsuki handed Konatsu a knife. "You can kill him now." She said to him. "I've had my revenge."

Konatsu took the knife over and nodded. He walked up to Randall, who was being feasted on by rodents and critters. The mixture of blood and honey had a curious smell.

"Randall, you've tricked me into believing that you were a good person all these years." Konatsu said quietly. "I hate you for lying to me. But I'm also grateful for you raising me and giving me education. Also, if it wasn't for you, I would never have met onee-chan.

Randall opened his eyes and stared at him. He saw the smirking Mizutsuki standing in the back with a few others who were presumably the members of the Genei Ryodan.

Konatsu… you little shit… And you bitch… I'mma make you cry for real before I die.

Konatsu raised the knife. "Goodbye." He said in a monotone and stabbed down towards Randall's chest.

But at the same time, Randall used all his willpower and forced himself to lunge forwards. He sunk his teeth into Konatsu's neck just as Konatsu buried the knife into his heart.

The members of the Genei Ryodan gasped at the sudden turn of events. They rushed forwards to Konatsu's aid. Machi got her needle and thread ready but it was too late, Randall had bitten a chunk out of his neck.

"Konatsu!" Mizutsuki screamed and placed the boy's head onto her lap. The huge wound in his neck was spurting with blood and it was dyeing her jeans dark red.

"Can't you do something about it Machi!?" Nobunaga cried.

Machi looked frantic, unlike her normal cool self. She shook her head. "I-I can't do anything." She stammered. "Half his neck is gone and I think that guy swallowed it before he died."

"No…" Mizutsuki looked horrified. "No… no!"

Konatsu looked bewildered to what had happened. "Why… am I bleeding?" He wondered and stared at his blood stained hand. "Why am I bleeding? onee-chan?"

Mizutsuki shook her head. "Don't talk." She said as she tried to bite back tears.

Konatsu glanced at the dead body beside him, which the cockroaches had started to gather on again. The fact dawned on him. "Ah, I'm going to die." He nodded to himself. "That's a shame."

Phinks and Shalnark forced themselves to look away. Feitan's eyes were glossy. Nobunaga and Machi knelt down beside Mizutsuki to watch Konatsu's final moments and his final words.

"Onee-chan." Konatsu said sternly. "Don't cry."

"I won't, who do you think I am?" Mizutsuki shot back.

"If you cry, you'll lose. You can't cry."

"As I've said, I won't. I promise you."

Konatsu smiled. His glasses fell off his face and slid onto the floor. His brown eyes widened. "Onee-chan…"

"Hm?" Mizutsuki bit her lips so hard she tasted the sour taste of her blood. No, she wasn't going to cry in front of him. Not when he was about to die. She's not going to lose to Randall. She was going to honor her promise to Konatsu.

Konatsu placed a bloody hand onto her cheek. "Onee-chan… we do look alike."
