Skylar was feeling gooder that he was not a slave but he wondered. Why did something feel missing like? Why would he miss Ingu who was a mean yakuzaman and cruel? Chousenjour was nice and kind and he was from the FBI and thus was cool. But he lacked Ingu's special unique properties. Chousenjo was beautifully beautiful but he was not cruelly beautiful and Skylar wondered if this was the problem. And was Ingu doing okay now?

Suddenly Chousenjou burst through the door with shocking news.

"I have shocking news," Chousenjou said. "The ninjas that have been the bane of Tokyo and its DDR scene have come back and raided an arcade. They killed some guy and took up all the high scores and this is a top issue for the FBI. They are also the Yakuza's arch nemesis.

"Would you like to sit down?" Skylar asked. "I can make you an iced tea."

"Okay." Chousenjou sat down.

Ingu brushed his hair out of his eyes and growled because he hated ninjas as all yakuza do. He walked around the arcade and inspected things, smelling ninja all over the place they smell like flannel. An object caught his eye and he inspected it, hissing betweenn his teeth kind of snakelikely. He bent over, pants straining around his very well-muscled legs, and he examined the object.

His eyes narrowed, kind of like a snake.

"Pocky?" Skylar blinked vapidly like he was good at. "I don't understand."

Chousenjou sighed. "It is what has created the ancient enmity between the yakuza and the ninjas. The Yakuza invented Pocky and it is why they are so rich. It also keeps them well-fed because why eat anything else when you have an unlimited supply of Pocky? You got healthier after you were a Yakuza cosplay slave, didn't you? This is because you were on their Pocky diet."

Skylar realized that Chousenjou was right. "0kay, that I understand, but where do the ninjas come in?"

Chousenjou sighed, running his fingers through his platinun hair. "Ninjas are expert killers, trained in the deadly arts of death. They know many weapons and their art. But one weapon above all is favorite to them. Light, aerodynamic, able to be thrown or shot or arrowed. A weapon that can be concealed anywhere and go through any security check. The most dangerous weapon of all. The poisoned Pocky stick. And that is why the ninjas and the Yakuza are the rivals. They fight for control of Pocky and the DDR empire."

"The DDR empire?" Skylar blink. "DDR is that important?"

Chousenjou nodded. "Like a Toyota is friendly."
