"I'm not sure if anyone realized or not," Franklin said slowly "But that kid and Mizutsuki kinda resembles."

"What do you mean by that?" Nobunaga asked. Other members who were close by didn't respond, but they were also listening. Mizutsuki, Machi, Feitan, and Kagami were walking at the front so they weren't aware of the conversation.

"Do you mean by personality?" Pakunoda questioned. "Because I agree that they're both brash and straightforward with what they want to say."

"That too, but I don't mean it." Franklin replied. "If you look closely, their features also resemble. Like their celestial noses and thin lips. And that wild, hateful look in their eyes like the whole world owes them money."

"Doesn't his mother look like her?" Phinks said. "It's nothing to be surprised about."

Franklin shook his head. "No, what I mean is, even this is too weird. The genetic material could only resemble so much, but it shouldn't affect the next generation."

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Never mind then." Franklin replied. "Shal, can you help me look up some things? There's something I'm curious about."

"Sure!"


Meanwhile, Hannah and Pariston were sitting in a family restaurant. The customers shot them glances from time to time, but Pariston ignored it all. Hannah felt uneasy; she didn't touch the food at all. For fear that she might owe this man even more. He had already saved her once, but that was only because he mistook her for another person.

"Really, Mizu." Pariston continued to babble. "You were so adorable back then. That was the cheapest dress I ever saw but you completely ignored everyone's glances. Or perhaps you didn't notice them at all."

Hannah's ears were bleeding. He had been talking about his story with the person named 'Mizutsuki' for two hours now. "Really... I don't know who Mizu is..." She tried to say. "And I'm not her either..."

Pariston smiled; Hannah wanted to shade her eyes from the sparkles but figured that it would be rude. "Please, Mr. Hill..." She said weakly. "It's late now and I need to go home. Kagami would be waiting for me..."

Pariston paused. "Kagami? Who is that?" He asked.

"My son...?" Hannah didn't know how to answer. She didn't know how to answer all the questions this man threw out.

Pariston nodded thoughtfully. "I always thought that you'd stay single forever. Seems like I got it wrong."

"I'm not sure about the Mizutsuki-san you're talking about. But I love my son and I don't care about how poor we are as long as we're happy."

Pariston's smile faltered and he looked sympathetic. The reason he wasn't able to tell that Hannah wasn't Mizutsuki was because that he hasn't seen Mizutsuki in too long. Kagami sees his mother every day, so he was able to tell. "Poor thing." He sighed. "First you were abandoned by your parents and thrown to Meteor City. Then you were given to the Mafia to endure the torture-like training of being an assassin." He patted her on the shoulder.

Meteor City? Mafia? These words echoed in Hannah's brain. How come these things sound so familiar? Yet they don't ring a bell either at the same time... I guess that this is what they call déjà vu.

"So how old is your son?" Pariston asked.

"He's six."

A trace of realization appeared upon Pariston's face. He finally realized that Mizutsuki and Hannah were different people. It was simple math; Mizutsuki is supposed to be twenty-one. But to have a six year old son meant that she would have had him when she was fifteen. When Pariston first met her she was nineteen, and she had no son. But instead of feeling disappointed, his interest grew. Why were there be two people that looked ridiculously alike and have the same age?

"Hmm... Interesting." He mumbled.

Hannah tilted her head. "What is interesting Mr. Hill?" She asked.

"Oh nothing just amused at how amnesia affects one's personality so much." He decided to play silent and observe; pretending that he still thinks Hannah is Mizutsuki.

"How is this Mizutsuki like?" Hannah asked. "She seems like a good person, although hot-headed."

Pariston laughed. "Oh no, Mizu-chan. Having you asking me how you behaved yourself is so ironic! It is like talking in third person. You were far from nice; you were a bloodthirsty killer that willingly massacred the Camorra Mafia that brought you up!"

Hannah gasped in horror. "Really?" How could you be so obsessed with such a person?

"Yes, really." He nodded. "You tried to kill me multiple times as well. But it was hard to find me due to my job consequences. So I said: it would be easier to arrange a meeting if you become a Hunter. So you became a Hunter just like that!"

"Umm..."

"My, my. It's so sad; if you sold the card or used it, you could be living a better life than this. And your son could go to school and stuff. I guess that you lost it. But what about your nen ability? Did you forget it as well?"

"Nen?" This story was getting more ridiculous by the second. Hannah decided to skip the question. "Please, Mr. Hill, I must go now. I hope that you can find the real Mizutsuki-san and have a happy relationship with her. But I must leave, I'm worried about Kagami." She stood up from her seat and left for the door.

Pariston caught up with her, looking amused. "Mizu-chan, I never had the thoughts of having a relationship with you. You're getting me wrong." What he said was true, he never held romantic feelings for Mizutsuki, only amusement. My, my, what a big misunderstanding. Pariston thought.

"It doesn't matter." Hannah said sternly. "You still got the wrong person, I am not Mizutsuki. You are nice, but nice to the wrong person."

Pariston sighed. "At least let me walk you home, in case you get attacked by those villagers again." He was still curious; his instinct tells him that there's a connection between her and Mizutsuki somehow.

"Sure..." Hannah was a little hesitant.


"Listen up kid." Mizutsuki said. "If you show any signs of disobedience, we'll kill your mom and Fei gets to torture you, understood?"

Kagami scowled but nodded.

"Good boy." She held up a phone. "Uvo, how's it going?"

"Just the normal thing I guess." Uvogin answered from the outside where he was ambushing. "All is well."

"Good." Mizutsuki turned off the phone and glanced back at Feitan, who was staying inside the house with her. After spending two years with him (being tortured/trained every day), they developed a strange sense of cooperation in interrogation and torture. Although when it comes to actual combat, the better pairing is still Feitan/Phinks, Mizu/Machi. He melted into the shadows of the furniture. They were ready for any sudden attacks. Mizutsuki slipped a knife out of her sleeve and held it at Kagami's throat. The look of sadistic amusement was spread across her handsome face. "Heh, I wonder how she's gonna react when she sees an identical person of herself threatening to kill her son..."

Kagami stuck out his tongue. "I'll get you one day!" He spat. "I'll become a Blacklist Hunter and arrest all of you! Just you wait and see!"

Mizutsuki snorted. "I'll be waiting for that to come." Her tone was coated in rude sarcasm.

"You better be prepared, because that day will come!"

She tightened her grip on the child's shoulder. "Shush, she's coming."


Pariston had said goodbye to Hannah just at the entrance of the slum. After watching him walk away Hannah sprinted back home. I wonder if Kagami is alright... She thought anxiously.

"I'm home!" She called out to the darkness.

Mizutsuki knelt down and whispered in Kagami's ear. "Answer."

Kagami gulped. "Mommy!" He called, straining his strength to not let his voice tremble.

Hannah was overwhelmed to hear Kagami's voice. Little did she know that there were two professional killers in her house right now. She walked into the living room with a bright smile. "Kaga-!"

Feitan had pinned her down with one arm and he flicked on the lights. "Scream, struggle, call out for help; do any of these and your son would die." He whispered in her ear.

Mizutsuki pushed Kagami forward, the sadistic grin blooming. "My, my, my!" She exclaimed. "We look more alike than I thought! Nice to meet you, I'm Mizutsuki."

Hannah gasped in surprise. She didn't know what to do. Beg for the mercy of her child or recall the information of Mizutsuki Pariston had told her. She decided that Kagami's safety first. "DON'T HARM MY CHILD!" She screamed.

Feitan tightened his grip. "Shut up." He hissed.

"Now, now." Mizutsuki stepped forward. "We have a few questions to ask you. Who are you and why do you have the same face as me?" She asked.

Hannah shook her head furiously. "I don't know! I was born this way!"

Feitan held up his sword and placed it at her throat. "Don't lie." He hissed.

"I'm not! Let Kagami go! Please, I beg you!" She was very panicked.

"Tell the truth or your son dies." Mizutsuki snapped. "I'll break his left arm first."

"No! Don't!"

"Then tell the truth!" Feitan said, killing aura reeking out.

"I AM! I WAS BORN THIS WAY! PLEASE, I ONLY HAVE ONE CHILD, DON'T TAKE HIM AWAY FROM ME!"

Mizutsuki narrowed her eyes. "Troublesome woman..." She muttered and snapped Kagami's left arm.

Kagami screamed in pain and Hannah screamed as well. "NO!"

"One more chance." Feitan said. "This time, it would be your arm I'd slice off. I wouldn't be as nice as Mizutsuki, sorry. And after we kill you, I will torture your son until he dies..."

Hannah shook her head furiously. "No!" She wept. Oh god why are you doing this to me...?

"Tell the truth, who are you and why are you posing as Mizutsuki. Did one of the Mafia families order you to?"

"I REALLY DON'T KNOW! LET US GO, PLEASE!"

Feitan narrowed his eyes and raised his sword. "Tsk..."

Just before his sword made contact with the flesh, the door was thrown open and two members marched in: Franklin and Shalnark. "Time out!" Shalnark shouted.

Mizutsuki blinked. "What are you doing here Shalnark?" She asked. "Aren't you supposed to be outside? Franklin you too."

Franklin sighed. "Feitan, Phinks, Mizutsuki, the members with the worse tempers. You three never think before your actions."

Feitan frowned. "What are you talking about?" He asked. "If you are going to hinder us I would kill you."

Shalnark held up his hands. "Hey! Hey!" He cried. "Mizu! I think that you should know something before you decide to harm the two of them."

"I've already broken the brat's arm." She said.

"Oh... Whatever!"

"So what is it we need to know before we kill them?" Feitan asked skeptically. "If you don't mind we'd like to continue on with the interrogation."

Shalnark looked straight at Mizutsuki and handed her an envelope. "Read this." He said. "I'll hold the kid for you. And if you still decide to kill them after, we wouldn't stop you. We just thought that you'd like to know."

Narrowing her eyes Mizutsuki took the envelope away and Shalnark took hold of Kagami, who was crying over the pain of his broken arm.

Slowly she pulled out the contents of the envelope. It was the birth certificate of Hannah. "Pffft, what is this?" She asked. "A birth certificate?"

"Read it." Franklin replied.

Shooting him an annoyed glance she read down the lines and paragraphs. Slowly she finished reading the paragraphs and she tossed the papers away. "What the heck is that supposed to do?" She spat. "It's just a normal birth certificate. Hand me back the brat Shalnark, I'mma break his neck now."

Shalnark facepalmed and Franklin sighed. Hannah blinked Kagami stared at them. Feitan stared at the pile of papers on the ground. "What's on it?" He asked Mizutsuki.

"Nothing!" She cried. "Her parent's name, her place of birth, her birthday, the date of registration… What's all that supposed to tell me?"

"You have the same birthdays." Shalnark deadpanned. "Do you get what we mean now?"

"The same birthday…?" Mizutsuki echoed. Somehow that sentence struck a string in her mind. It was a blurry feel, and she didn't know what it is. "So…?" She asked. "What does that have to do with me?"

Franklin sighed. "You're really slow when it comes to this kind of stuff… She's your twin sister!"


Is this too dramatic? Too cheesy? (OmO;) Is the story okay so far? I'm sorry but I've been reading books and watching anime with amazing plot twists. I feel so weak and tiny compared to them...

So yes, let's just ignore my depressing speech above and discuss about the story. Hannah is Mizu's twin sister, so does that make Kagami Mizu's niece or something? Oh my, Kagami wouldn't be happy being related to a criminal. And now Hannah's been in touch with Pariston, how would Mizu react to that ?(I'm guessing that she'd react violently.)

If you wanna know what's going to happen, stay tuned~
