Genei Ryodan Ages: Chrollo is 21, Feitan and Kortopi are 23, Machi and Shalnark are 19, Nobunaga, Franklin, Bonolenov and Phinks are 25, Uvogin and Pakunoda are 24. Omokage is 27.

A meeting was taking place in an auditorium of sorts

A crowd of people were arguing and trying to one up each other without coming to blows. When the door to the auditorium closes it show that the meeting could begin and a man steps up to the podium and taps lightly on the microphone. "Ah hem. Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to discuss the problems that all of us have suffered over the last few years. The Dons are attending through video."

The noise slowly dies down as everyone starts to listen.

"As you all know in the recent years we have had a decrease in the number of members we can get from Ryūseigai. Our attempts at forcefully acquire members from that place have been met with fierce opposition on most occasions. While we have been more successful in some areas of Ryūseigai when those two groups are gone, but we still suffer from casualties. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get around this? That doesn't result in overpaid hired help." The announcer continued. Meanwhile a projection of ten shadowed covered figures clearly in different locations if what was in their backgrounds was real being shown above him.

"Couldn't we just target the specific groups and get rid of them?" Some random head suggested.

"Does anyone actually know what they look like? From what I know anyone that has seen them has ended up dead and no security camera has been left with a recording." Another commented.

"Do we actually need to get rid of both groups? Why not just target one? Get rid of a member or two as proof that they are not beyond our reach."

"Wouldn't we still need to know what they look like?"

It then just descends into chaos as everyone who believed that they were someone just threw out suggestions.

"ENOUGH." Was heard throughout the auditorium apparently one of the Don had made a decision. "We will be targeting one group. The first grouped that formed to be precise."

"Genei Ryodan will be the target. We will not let some unknown group steal our best resource of non-existing people. Do we know what any of the members look like?"

A bunch of not sure, no and maybe could be heard going on in the crowd. Until a voice was heard saying yes. Everyone turned towards that person.

"I think one of the members may go and fight in the Pit from time to time. But I'm not certain that the person is a member. She does have training and she was listed to join the mafia. I'm certain that if we capture her she could tell us more." The man in charge of the Pit admitted.

"So she might not be a member and may know nothing." One of the Dons asked sounding slightly angry at what could be a worthless suggestion.

"As you know the Elder Hana does bring to be mafia members to the Pit for training purposes and to demonstrate their capabilities in order to increase their value. I'm certain that she would know who some members of the Genei Ryodan are. They may have tried to recruit her." The man once again answered.

"I see. So we'll have the girl captured then. How old would she be anyways?" Another Don asks.

"Around 13 I guess." The man answered.

"Good. We'll capture her, get the information we want and then break her. Her age would make training her as a slave easier. It should show the rest of the citizens in Ryūseigai that we still have power over them not some new group. Do we have anyone on the pay list that specializes in taking a living bounty?" The Don of the smallest region then asks. While mafia members did do kidnapping and alike there was no point in wasting your own people when you could pay someone to take the risk. After all it wasn't a normal civilian they were going to take. If they failed it wouldn't be linked to a certain family just the mafia in general. No matter how strong the members in these two groups were they would not be able to challenge them directly. After all quantity was a quality of its own.

The group once again descends into chaos as every family suggested their own hired help. Also throwing out how well they did certain jobs. Other people threw out their failures as well. Various discussions broke out while the Dons held their own.

The meeting was disbanded once the Dons had agreed on hiring the Red Demons. This group had originated from Lukso Province beyond that not much was known about them. They were a small group. A max of seven had ever been seen but they did the jobs well and had yet to fail a mission since forming. A minor mafia member would send a message to the contact for the group and a picture of the target was given. The fee of half a billion was agreed. Payment was half now for the attempt and the other half would be paid upon delivery.

In the Lukso Province

The elder ends the call from the mafia. He suddenly thinks 'Half a billion for a kid? I wonder what they aren't saying. Still the target is from Ryūseigai. I wonder if the rumors for that place are true. People from there were supposedly stronger than the average person. Unlikely unless there was a genetic reason unlikely.' (More like an environmental reason.)

A small noise is heard from behind a wall. A secret lever is pulled revealing a small room than contained a computer, printer and a fax machine. In front of the fax machine is a picture of the target. The picture showed a young girl. 'She's cute.' Was a quick though that passed through his head along with. 'Wonder if someone in the mafia wants her as a sex toy? Seems rather high priced.'

After a quick search for any information about the girl as well as a quick check to make sure that yes half the payment was paid. He forwards all information to the head of the Red Demons including a note that all members should participate and to minimize all possible harm to the target. Just in case it was a perverted member that wanted her for whatever the reason.

Red Demons' Hideout

A cell phone vibrates indicating a new target. A big man starts printing out copies of the little information available. The man (think Basho's build but as a blond and no sideburns and hereby names Kael) throws the little packets on the table in front of the other members. He just gives out a few quick orders. "Read the notes, try and find out where the girl currently is. Along with anything on anyone she's with. See if you can find out anything else about her. Once we have her location all of us will go and capture her I don't care if you think you can do it alone. Our payment is for her to be alive and in good condition. So maybe a simple show of force and she will come quietly. I doubt a girl her age would know Nen."

A few months later in Hi-Tech City on the Azian Continent

"So where is the girl staying and who is she with?" The head of the Red Demons ordered.

"The girl is staying in a modest apartment. The apartment is owned by a hunter who just got his licence this year. There are two other men that have been seen entering and leaving the place. Apparently the males have got themselves a new game and are binge gaming it. The girl seems to be stuck buying their snacks for them." One of the half-bloods on the team answered.

"Do we have any information on the hunter?" The head asks. After all a hunter could be a problem.

One of the others answered. "He apparently passed the secret exam at the same time as the main exam so he already knows Nen. There's not much information on him beyond that. In fact there's no information on him before the exam. According to his licence he's nineteen. Kael, I doubt he will be a problem. All we have to do is nab the girl when she goes and buys the snacks and any other necessities. We can be out of the city by the time they notice. It'll be a simple nab and grab. What could possibly go wrong?" (Famous last words anyone?)

On the day of the attempted kidnapping

It was early evening when Angela had once again left the apartment with a list of items the other three wanted. She had no idea why she was doing this for them. It wasn't like they would starve to death that easily. 'Stupid, lazy gaming males' taking a closer look at the list before mentally scratching off any all items that contained alcohol. 'If they want alcohol they can leave the game alone and steal it themselves.' She once again felt like she was being watched. This had been happening the last few times she had left the house and it was getting annoying. Hopefully they would make a move soon otherwise she was going to hunt them down instead.

Apparently her wish was answered just as she passed an alley. As the few men in the alley came out and blocked the way back while some others were blocking the way forward. She takes a look at the seven men now surrounding her. "Can I help you?"

Kael steps forward highly confident that the girl would cave to their pressure. "I'm afraid miss that you will have to come with us."

"Now why would I do that? After all I'm not supposed to go anywhere with strangers. So unless you're undercover officers with a warrant I have no reason to go with you." Angela decides to play an innocent person with knowledge of the law.

Kael just chuckle slightly at what he assumes was a relatively naïve girl. "I'm afraid you will be coming with us regardless. The only option you have is will it be the easy way or the hard way." He then gestures for one of the men standing behind to grab her.

The man behind the girl intended to just place his hand on her shoulders and steer the girl to where they wanted to go. Unfortunately for him the girl had different plans. Just before his hand could touch her she had grabbed him by the wrist. The next thing he knew was that he had been flipped over her shoulder and onto the ground. His back radiated pain along with the arm that the girl had held. Considering the angle his arm is bending in it was most certainly broken.

"I guess I'm choosing the hard way then." Angela said stepping away from the man moaning in pain. 'Seriously it's just a broken arm. I'm sure if I did that to Feitan he'd just get pissed.' She takes a defensive stance wanting to see what these men could. Keeping an eye on the three she felt had access to their Nen.

Back at Shalnark's apartment

"She's taking longer than usual." Phinks grumbles as he shoots the head off his opponent.

"You do realise she's never going to steal the beer you wanted right. Chrollo did specify say that she shouldn't be anywhere near you, Feitan, Nobu and Uvo when you start drinking." Shalnark points out and watches an opponent becomes Swiss cheese from the turrets he had set up. "And considering what happened to her last time I doubt she'll break that rule."

"Not meh fault." Feitan said as his character seeks up on someone and stabs them to death.

"I think I remember things slightly differently and without the sudden blackout in memory." Shalnark says with his usual smile.

Feitan started muttering something. When all three of them felt a familiar aura suddenly flare into existence. "Think it's anything?" He glances up at the timer counting down to the end of the match. There were still a few minutes left. Another opposing player gets assassinated.

"She's probably just faking it." Phinks replies adding to his kill count. "Maybe she's annoyed with some of the items that keep reappearing on the list. My alcohol for example."

Shalnark continues to look out the window in the direction of Angela's aura completely ignoring his own character that was safe hiding behind a bunch of traps. So unless a person found an angle to snipe him he would be fine. "She's more likely just to disappear on us than use Nen. You know she doesn't use her Nen unless there's a fight." Shal points out.

"Later." Feitan mutters and refocuses on the game. They'll check it out in a few more minutes. After all she should be able to last a few minutes by herself whatever the reason.

Few minutes later

The three of them had arrived and were simply observing the damage street along with a few bodies. Angela was still fighting with 3 people and it certainly had been more since there were other bodies unless they were collateral damage. They couldn't say that she was doing too badly but considering that her left arm was bleeding and limp they couldn't say she was doing very well either.

"Would you three jerks stop staring and give me a hand?" An angry yell was heard.

"Don't know. Maybe we can get an older replacement." Phinks teased while cracking his knuckles. Feitan and Shalnark just chuckle at that. Then all three turns pale at Angela's reply.

"I'm telling Nii-san." This damning sentence was Angela's only reply. "Oh and try and take one of them alive. I think Nii-san will like it."

Feitan and Phinks pick their own target to mess with while Shal simple chose to help Angela against Kael. Considering what the other two were like they would have to take this guy captive.

"Why do you want him anyways?" Shal just had to ask. If Chrollo did find out about Angela's current injuries serious or not they would all be in trouble. Maybe torturing information as to why these people had attacked Angela would be useful to prevent it from happening again. It also might let them off the hook for finishing a game instead of checking on his sister. Chrollo was highly possessive and protective of his sister. He would say that Danchou had some sort of complex but he wasn't that suicidal.

"His eyes turned red. Nii-san did mention something about some people like that but I don't think I was listening to him much." Angela answered.

Shal knew at once which meeting she was talking about and then thinks 'If he's from that clan maybe we won't get into too much trouble with Danchou for not acting sooner. I just need to get an antenna in him.' He took another quick look at Angela's limp arm and hopes it isn't too serious. 'Need to call Machi after this.' He now studies his opponent noticing all the cuts along with burn marks on him and his clothing. It seems that Angela had only been using her throwing knives and fire to fight with her assailants. Not too surprising considering her sword was currently in his apartment. She either needed to get better at unarmed combat or learn to conjure weapons better. Still Shal was amazed at the things her Nen could do. It was just highly unstable if she couldn't concentrate on the effects she wanted. Shal just had to wonder how strong she would be if or when she could control her own Nen completely without the explosive endings she currently had. Right concentrate on my opponent then wonder how I can help her control her Nen better.

One beheaded body and a snapped neck later

Kael was walking with his previous target and her friends to an abandoned section of the city. He wasn't sure they were friends at all since they had originally been happy to just watch her fight until she mentioned a brother. None of the information they had found as little as it was on the girl mentioned a brother. Not that it would do him any good since he had no control over himself. Originally they had stopped by the hunter's apartment to patch up his target and let her change cloths. His currently controller had also made a call for someone to meet up with them soon. What he really wanted to know was why he was still alive? It was clear that these people like him didn't care about killing others. He had also watched as the bodies of his comrades disappear into a black hole type thing.

Kael eventually ends up sitting in a sturdy chair despite how run down the location was and letting the short Goth man tie him up. Afterwards the damn manipulator removed his antenna could he finally move or ask questions like he wanted too. The downside to its removal was the pain he suddenly felt from his injuries causing him to moan. "What do you want?"

"Answers to questions like who sent you? Or maybe I just want to see how long it takes for you to break." The person that had tied him answered.

"Feitan don't forget to keep him alive until Paku gets here." Shal call from somewhere else in the building.

Back to where the other three are

"So how long do you think he'll last?" Angela asked and then pokes her now bandaged arm.

"Stop that." Shal quickly pulled her hand away from the arm. "Let Machi fix it properly first then you can start poking at her stitches instead. As for that man guess it'll depend on what questions Feitan asks first. If he's from the Kurta clan he'll probably be more stubborn against answering those questions than who sent him after you." He stops to think. "Feitan may just start with that just to torture the man more."

Phinks decides to ask the important question. "When is Machi getting here and will it before Danchou?" He didn't want Danchou to see Angela's bandaged arm. Should Machi get here first they could pretend someone didn't get injured. Machi would keep quite as long as they paid extra.

"I haven't called him yet." Angela raised an eyebrow at Shal's reply. "I asked Machi to call me a few hours before her arrival. Then I'll call Danchou and Paku telling them that we've caught someone interesting. Danchou shall never know of this incident as long as he doesn't check your arm with gyo."

"I still don't see why you're doing all this though. It's just a bad scratch." Angela points out. Sure a few stitches would help otherwise she'll just have a scar.

"Last time you got hurt we got punished." Phink yelled.

"Last time it was your fault." Angela points out. "I literally lost an arm."

"Danchou's punishment was cruel." Phinks just whimpered at the memory.

Flashback to the last Ryodan gathering

The heist had been a success. Lots of people dead. The loot was now packed into crates. In the next few weeks/months the item will be sold on the black market. Like usual to celebrate they were drinking and comparing kill count or the faces people had made before their deaths. Angela had stolen a beer before Chrollo stole it back and give her a soda.

No one was too certain what had happened that night except that under Uvo and Phinks' suggestion both Nobu and Feitan had ended up demonstrating sword techniques. Two people demonstrating sword techniques with swords under the influence of alcohol in an area with other people was not a great idea. Angela had somehow ended up losing her left arm just above the elbow. Thankfully not everyone drinks to excess. Machi had quickly patched her up while Chrollo decided on the punishment for four guilty members. The punishment wouldn't have been too bad if they didn't have a hangover. The four of them had been tied up and left on the roof of the building for the whole day. Sunlight and hangovers are not nice adding the fact they didn't get to have any pills or a drink of water making it even worse.

The rest of the group had wondered if they had learnt their lesson in not drinking to excess. Unlikely, hopefully they had at least learned drunken incident + hurting Angela were a big NO. Hell hurting her beyond shallow cuts and bruises during a spar was a big NO but that was a completely different story.

End of flashback

Phinks shudders from remembering that memory. He had also been punished for the other incident but the alcohol one was just cruel and most recent.

A few days later

The building was now being occupied by three more members. Feitan and Paku were giving a report on what they had found from their own individual questioning methods of the captive.

The information given was that the Red Demons had been told to kidnap Angela and give her over to the mafia. The job had been taken by their clan elder. No, he didn't know who or which family in the mafia wanted her or the reasons why. The job itself would have paid half a billion. His clan lived in the Lukso Province. Feitan had failed to get him to give a smaller region once the man had realised his mistake.

Paku had been able to get a slightly smaller region but the clan being nomadic would cause a problem and the fact that the man hadn't been back in years. It would still be a fairly large area to search but they wouldn't have to search the whole of the province.

Shalnark having used the Hunters' website gave the information that the Kurta clan population was 128 people but only the pureblood members of the clan would have the eyes. The man they had caught had a cell phone so he was now tracking all the numbers that he either made or received. Hopefully that would help zero in on where the clan currently was. He didn't want to spend weeks searching the wilderness.

Chrollo nodded and after listening to everyone decided. "Good once we have found them we can make an example of them. After all no-one is allowed to takes anything from us." He then notices something. Angela being with Shalnark, Phinks, Feitan and Machi was slightly strange. After all Machi was more likely to be by herself unless meeting up with the others before an actual meeting. He could easily dismiss Feitan and Phinks being here as Shal did have the most up to date tech, gaming or otherwise. Since Angela had a habit of bothering the other Ryodan when bored she was probably here to bother Shal. He just couldn't help but think something was suspicious. He had met Paku before arriving so she wasn't in on this. "Paku, what are they hiding?"

Shal, Phinks and Feitan at once turn pale and were eyeing all available exits. Angela just looked at the floor and Machi. She smirked with amusement shining in her eyes before holding a hand out for Paku to take. After all technically she wasn't telling Danchou. You had to love memory readers.
