Misao was completely content in her musty cell, back leaning up against the graffiti-ed wall from prisoners of the past. She was in the police holding tank by herself since she had been tagged "special" by Captain Saitou and when ever that happens the cops in his precinct know for damn sure not to mess around with that prisoner or there'll be hell to pay. Her grin widened as she thought of yesterday's events when she had squealed like a pig that was going to become Christmas dinner. She had told Saitou exactly where to find that little shit Bugsy and she was expecting him at any moment.
"3." She could hear the jangling of chains and keys,
"2." The distant cell block doors clanging open,
"1." The vivid cries of a shrill voice and Bugsy appeared squirming in the grip of the gruff guards.
"YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! I'M AN AMERICAN DAMMIT! I HAVE RIGHTS!" Misao was now grinning from ear to ear; revenge was oh so sweet. As Bugsy came upon her cell she shouted out,
"Bugsy can't you go out with a little dignity for god's sake? Oh wait you ain't got none!" Bugsy whipped his beady eyes in her direction and they flared with a fiery hatred,
"YOU LITTLE WHORE! YOU DID THIS DIDN'T YOU?" He said lunging in the direction of her confinement. Misao didn't even flinch.
"Now, Now, Temper, Temper dear Bugsy." She said ruthlessly and shaking a finger at him. Bugsy was quaking with anger his pudgy face had gone as red as a tomato and the guards proceeded to throw him into the cell across from her.
"At least we'll both rot in jail." He hissed out his only comfort.
"Oh quite on the contrary Bugsy." She said with a plastered on face of innocence.
"Captain Saitou wishes to see you Miss Makimachi." A guard said sliding her barred door open. Misao walked out with grace and her head held up high and headed down the hall, but before she was out of sight she turned around blew a kiss to Bugsy and said laughing,
"Love ya Bugsy! Hope you enjoy your stay! Cause it's going to be a hell of a long one" and with that she strutted away.

Megumi sat in dead silence waiting for Saitou's "People" to arrive. Why was she even here? She had innocent human beings to save; she didn't have time to watch one slowly kill himself with those cigarettes. He was constantly puffing away on those lung cancer in a tube. A scowl started to make way to her face as he lit another one. Then there was rapid little knock on the door, which nearly made Megumi jump out of her skin
"Enter." Saitou said in an almost threatening voice. In stepped what appeared to be a shaking little rookie officer and a small hand cuffed girl. Now Megumi was confused. The girl looked like hell, her face smeared with dirt and such, black clothes now gray from dust, grim under her short fingernails and hair tussled out of place. The officer directed her to the chair across from Megumi.
"You may leave now." Saitou said waving him off.
"See ya later Yoshi." The girl said winking at the policeman and getting a blush to his cheeks because of it.
The door snapped closed and they were left to there thoughts again. Timed ticked on with out a sound except for a loud snort like sigh from the cuffed offender next to here.
KNOCK KNOCK! Both Misao and Megumi nearly screamed. Saitou remained cool as a cucumber as always and said in his tyrannical voice,
"Enter" In stepped a girl soaked head to toe.
"Sorry I'm late car trouble." They could only imagine what she had been through to get her. Saitou gave a curt nod and gestured for her to take a seat, he rose preparing to give some sort of speech, each girl sighed in her mind. They've all had plenty of speeches from Saitou.
"I have brought you all here today to make a proposition." Misao snorted at this. Saitou just gave her an evil glare and went on, " Each one of you has very special talents which can prove useful in the days to come. We have a spy, a hacker and a thief." The girls all looked at each other trying to figure out which one is which. Saitou to this as a sign to introduce them,
"Dr.Takani Megumi, also known as world renowned hacker "The Fox"" Two pair of blue eyes widened at the woman.
"Whoa! I always thought you were a guy." The cuffed Misao said in amazement. Megumi lowered her head and sighed,
"I don't do that any more, all I am is a doctor." Saitou grunted at this but went on.
"Then we have Kamiya Kaoru trained in the spy arts by her famous father, Kamiya Tetsuya." * A.N What the heck is Kaoru's dad's name?*
"I've never heard of him." Megumi said a little confused.
"I have, he's a legend in the industry, but I never realized he had kids! Wow!" Misao said her eyes sparkling with new found respect for Kaoru.
"And finally we have the infamous Makimachi Misao or as the media would know her Kuroneko." Megumi and Kaoru's heads whipped to the small girl.
"So she's the Kuroneko?" Megumi said trying to hide her surprise. Misao blushed and nodded meekly.
"You've pulled off some amazing stuff. Half of them ingenious in their simplicity, like steaming the museum so the heat detectors wouldn't sense you." Kaoru was in awe.
"Well I'm not that ingenious if I got thrown here." Misao raised her cuffed hands begrudgingly.
"Now on to the point." Saitou said smirking with a little bit of satisfaction at what the Itachi just said, " As I said you all have special abilities, that I have decided to utilize."
"Huh?"
"The law can only go so far now a days and more and more criminals are going away scot free. It is also getting harder for us to infiltrate or get information about these criminals. What we need are people who can do the job, people who can be unseen and discreet yet still get the it done and put the criminals behind bars where they belong."
"And you think we're these people?" Kaoru said in a bit of awe by getting so highly regarded by Saitou Hajime.
"Exactly."
"So what happens if we don't wanna join your team of superfriends?" Said Misao wiggling an eye precociously.
"Then I'll through you back in jail where you belong."
"THAT'S BLACK MAIL!" Misao infuriated at this cried.
"Tough." Saitou put laxly.
"I guess the same goes for me." Megumi sighed dejectedly.
"Not exactly, but you still owe me. So is every one in?"
"Hai."
"Hai"
"Kamiya?" All eyes shot to the girl looking at her lap twisting at her shirt.
"I can't." Saitou grunted he was unimpressed.
"Come on Kamiya have balls for god sakes. Your always going on about how you want to help make a more just world and protect people. Now here's your chance."
"But what about the people I care about? What about Yahiko? What will happen to him if anybody finds out who I really am? They'll use him against me," Tears began to form in her eyes, " I can't stand to lose any one else in my life." Misao looked at Kaoru sympathetically and reassured her,
"Hey we all have people we love. I'm just as scared as you are about losing more people I love. But you can't let fear rule your life." Kaoru just looked at her with watery eyes.
"Besides! We've got an ass-kicking thief, a super star hacker and prodigal agent chick on our team! No body is going to dare mess with us!" Misao said cockily flashing a victory sign.
"Don't worry Kamiya, the brat is under special protection, I made sure of it. And both of your families too." He said looking at Megumi and Misao.
"So are you in?" There was a moment of silence and then Kaoru looked up with eyes sparkling,
"Damn straight."
