Chapter 5 -The Job

Disclaimer- Peeps I don't own nothing!

A.N- * Runs around like chicken with it's head cut off! * UGH this is my first espionage story and I've been having trouble coming up with a good mystery plot! So it's taken me a llllllloooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggg time to get this up and running! Bear with me cuz I think I finally have it!

~*~*~

"Now it's time to give you your mission." Saitou said. All sat attentively. The lights flickered out and a projection came onto the white screen behind the desk.

"Cool," Whispered Misao in a tinsy bit of awe. There was a sharp click and a face appeared on the screen.

"Shishio Makoto, what can you tell me about him?" Saitou said as if it was a question from jeopardy,

"He's a complete loon for starters," Kaoru snorted in an unladylike fashion. Saitou quirked a slender brow at this rather strong statement,

" And what makes you say that?"

"Because he is! He lives by the philosophy that only the strong should survive while the weak should be destroyed." Kaoru cried out in utter disgust, " He was incarcerated two years ago for conspiring against Japan."

"Very good Kamiya," Saitou praised gruffly, " Just last month Toujima high security prison where Shishio resided after his capture had a rather large explosion in it. It happened six cells away from Shishio's .Ten men died at the cause of the explosion, but Shishio's body was never found. The official report was that he had been burned to cinders, but I believe other wise."

"You think it was a set up?" Megumi said once looking up from her consideration.

"A set up that went horribly wrong," He put darkly, " The bomb went off too late, Shishio had just returned from a visit. My hypothesis is that the explosion was supposed to go off to distract the guards while Shishio got away- "

"But by the time it did go off Shishio was already in his cell. What makes you say he isn't dead then?" Kaoru questioned. Saitou looked straight at her and stiffened his posture saying very coolly,

"I know Shishio Makoto, I was the one who helped bring him in and the only way you'll know he's dead is if you can see him rotting in hell."

"Oh" She squeaked in a sheepish response. Saitou went on with a click and the slide turned over to another man with greased back hair and sunken cheeks.

" This is Sadojima Houji, a rather wealthy businessman. He has also been linked to Shishio Makoto, but we couldn't call it on him because we didn't have enough evidence. We assumed that he was the supplier to Shishio's little army and the moneymaker of the organization. Once Shishio was incarcerated Sadojima went into hiding, but after the explosion at Toujima he has been seen all over especially at Yukishiro technologies in Shanghai run by this man-" *Click* There was a paparazzi photograph of a rather striking young man with shock white hair and dark sunglasses,

"Yukishiro Enishi. He was given the business after his father had a mental break down and disappeared into the wildback of China. He had an old sister named Tomoe who disappeared a few years ago, now proven to be deceased. Yukishiro Technologies is a very secretive company and has been noted to have ties with the mob. I believe that Sojima Houji wants something from Yukishiro for the revival of Shishio's "Kuni Tori"-"

"Kuni Tori?" Misao spoke up a little fuzzy on exactly what Shishio's "Bird of Prey" was. (A.N I believe that what it means correct me if I'm wrong)

"It's the name of the plot that Shishio concocted to throw over the Japanese government." Kaoru said brightly.

"Oh."

"Every month Yukishiro holds a private party at his estate in Japan. At twelve o'clock Yukishiro and a selection of business partners go to a private poker room to make business deals. You will be going to this party in a week. Your mission consists of two tasks, Kaoru I want you and Sagara are to get into that poker game anyway possible and secondly Megumi you will be breaking into Yukishiro's private computer base to get his list of cliental and his list of laboratory projects-"

" Wait a second, this a large Technologies company. I doubt I can even hack into the files without a hard drive connection" Megumi voiced her skepticism. Saitou merely smirked at her and shook his head,

"This is where Makimachi comes in." All eyes turned to the petite woman,

"Me?" She yelped. Saitou opened up a silver case with his family cress engraved on it and pulled out a slim cigarette,

" You'll be going to the party as well."

"Nani?"

"You'll come as a guest then sneak into Yukishiro's room and make the connection so Takani can download the files. In and Out. Simple as that." There was a flare of flame, a glow of amber and then a puff of smoke. The lights flickered back on. Everyone got out of his or her seats except Sano who still sat deep in thought.

"Something amiss Chicken-head?" Saitou snarked puffing on his cigarette. Megumi laughed a little liking the idiotic nickname. Sano growled,

"Shut up. How exactly are we going to get all three of us in? It's not like we have an invitation." Saitou smirked,

"OH you will. You'll be posing as rather powerful the son of a power Yakuza gangster. Who happened to have his invitation confiscated in a search," Saitou turned towards Kaoru and Misao who were stopped in front of the stippled glass office door, "And you two will be his lovely dates."

"NANI?!?!?!?!" A devilish smile appeared on Sano's face.

"Well the ladies could never say no to Sagara Sanosuke." Kaoru quickly knocked him over the head.

"ITAI!" He cried. Misao stood silent thought, he seemed so familiar. Then it hit her,

"WHAT A SECOND! YOU'RE THE ASSHOLE WHO STOLE MY MOTORCYCLE SIXTH MONTHS AGO!!!"

"What are you talking about? The only motorcycle I've stolen in six months was the Kuro- SHIT! You're the Kuroneko?" Sano said eyes wide.

"DAMN STRAIGHT!" Misao screamed ready to throttle him for stealing her baby, her black SS800 Ducati motorcycle (A.N drool *_* I want that bike). Saitou smirked in slight bemusement,

"Sagara you assured me that you hadn't stolen any vehicles in years. I could charge you." Sano suddenly went very pale.

"Uh, No no nothing like that." Sano pleaded

"Then where is my bike?!?!?!?!" Misao demanded heatedly.

"It's still here. Nice bike like that is too good to scrap for parts anyways. Besides it was strictly a for sport steal."

"YOU STOLE MY ONE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION FOR SPORT??????"

"There was always the bus. AND HEY! YOU'RE A THEIF WHY DON'T YOU BUY YOURSELF ONE WITH ALL THE MONEY YOU'VE GOT FROM STEALING?" Sano gripped back at her. Misao stood neutral for a second and then mumbled something.

"Huh I didn't get that. Won't you speak up?" Sano asked wiggling his brow precociously.

"But I liked that one!" She pouted and stomped her foot. Then she started to sniffle and her eyes went big and glassy, "I-it wu-was a gift from m-my sick GRANPA!" Sano stepped back not liking a woman on the verge of tears,

"FINE! Fine, I'll give it back to you."

"Thank you!" And her face went back to a bright smile. Sano stood a bit shocked, what had just happened? Then he realized it,

'You got hosed Sano, you got hosed.' (A.N I luv that mountain dew add).

~*~*~

Misao quickly glomped onto the sportbike and whispered praise and affection to the shiny piece of machinery while the others watched on. Kaoru tore her eyes off the strange display and headed towards Saitou.

"Ano. Saitou won't we need to get some dresses and tuxes for this party thing?"

"Women. always needing to look good." He snorted, "I'll give you some money to go get a dress," Then he looked at Misao and her shabby apparel, "You better take her too."

Kaoru eyes brightened up and a she was gripped with a rather uncharacteristic girlish glee, it was probably from the excitement of becoming a spy and getting her first mission. She quickly grabbed Misao.

"Huh? Where are we going. What about my bike?"

"Never mind that. Come on Misao-chan we're going on a shopping trip!" Misao big blue orbs widened to the size of dinner plates. Her? Shopping?

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
