Author's Note: Hey! Sorry this chapter is REALLY late. Of course, Death, Burial, Rebirth is still late, but I'll try to get the next chapter out eventually. This chapter revolves around Dynast, Garv and Phibrizzo. This chapter has a few yaoi references, and shows that Dynast truly is bisexual. Enjoy!

On with the show!

I stare at the tied up figure. He has blue hair that stands up on end. His hair is mangled and has obviously not been washed recently. His face is covered in scars and burns. I smile brightly at the man. "Good morning!"

He turns to me. His eyes are a dark grey. "Who're you?"

I chuckle. "My name isn't important. What's important is the information that you possess!"

The young man's raises an eyebrow. "I know a lot of things..."

"Considering all the trouble you're in, I find that hard to believe." I say. Ooh, good one. I'm SO good at this.

He says nothing. I smile.

"Boy, I'd suggest you start talking before I make you wish you were never born...." I whisper, my voice full of smooth cruelty.

He looks at me with his dark eyes. He isn't bad looking, actually. "I already do wish that."

"Then I'll fulfill your wish."  I say, pulling out a hunting knife. Damn it, why do the pretty ones always die.

He shrugs. "Very well."

I sigh. "You're name is Zelgadiss, right? Well, Zelgadiss, you don't have to die. Just say who bombed the Silvari building."

He gulps. "L-l...."

"Yes?"

"Lina Inverse." He says, sighing.

"You told me just what I want to hear, boy." I say, smiling.

He sighs and looks down.

"Don't worry. No one needs to know you told me...." I smile at him, and I bring my blade down on him.

~~~

"He's dead, then?"

I nod, looking up at the boy who sits behind a desk. He is short and he has long purple hair. His name is Phibrizzo, and he is the teenage wonder who is a major player of the Mazoku.

"Excellent. And Lina was behind the attack?"

"Yes." I say simply.

"That's odd. I was excepting Ceipheed to be behind it. I'll get Garv to take Lina down. Thank you, Dynast."

I furrow my brow. "Wait a minute...."

"What?" He says irritably.

"Aren't I the one on this job?" I say, a bit angry.

"You are. But I only gave it to you because you're best at fighting the Gold Dragons, and I excepted this to be a Dragon case. Besides, Garv has a history with Ms. Inverse." He says, standing up. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm getting a massage."

I sigh. "Fine, fine. I'll come by later to get my new task, then."

I leave the room, a bit angry at Phibrizzo.

~~~

I return to my apartment. Sherra is waiting for me, looking cute as always. "Dynast-sama! How are you?"

"Not great. I got the information, but Phibby gave Garv the job." I sigh, sitting down.

"Oh." Sherra says, sounding disappointed. "That's too bad."

"Tell me about it." I sigh, moping.

"Still, at least you get the rest of the day off." She says, shrugging.

I smile at her. "You're right. I've been working quite a bit lately. I haven't been spending much time with you."

Sherra smiles. God, she's a cute one.

"Let's see a movie." I say, shrugging.

"Which one?" She raises an eyebrow at me.

"I don't care. Something good."

She smiles. "How about X2?"

"Never been much for comic book movies. How about Identity?"

She nods. "Okay, but just because John Cusack is a sexy bitch."

"Hey, you're starting to think like me." I chuckle. "Let's hurry so we can make the 3:30 showing."

~~~

The movie was fine, I suppose. It was a bit predictable, but nowadays, what is? Sherra and I walk out of the theater, stretching.

"That wasn't a bad movie, I suppose. It was predictable, though." She says, yawning.

I chuckle. She's so similar to me. "Yeah, I guess so."

"Wanna go out for supper somewhere?" She says as we walk towards my car.

"Sure. I could use a bite to eat..." I say, but I am interrupted by my cell phone. "One sec...". I answer the phone, "Hello?"

"Grausherra, get down here right now." A gruff voice answers me.

"What's the problem, Garv?"

"The Dragons have stuck again. Shane's badly hurt."

Short, I know. *sighs* Don't hurt me, please.
