YES. IT IS I, BACK FROM THE GREAT DEPTHS OF HIATUS-ISM. and I'm coming with the beginnings of a new story.. in AzuDaioh once again. (btw: it's probably nice to warn you that you should read the previous fic first. but Storm C'tarl is lazy, and doesn't update often. so some things are.. well.. unfinished.)

Gamers- the one constant in the manga of DiGi Charat and also constant hangout for C'tarl Hinaske... Which meant that today, like always, C'tarl just happened to be there.

Sachiko, the killer-assassin-girl-who-tried-to-kill-C'tarl-in-the-last-story, just happened to see a flyer for Gamers, too. Her eyes sparked, and she muttered to herself "Oooh.. Time Crisis."

As she walked through the door, C'tarl spotted her black trench coat and asked "Why do you always follow me everywhere I go?"

Staring back, Sachiko deadpanned "I don't. But he does." and pointed at a suspicious-looking character with blue hair.

Blinking, C'tarl only wondered to himself "I wonder if Deijiko is here?"

"Deijiko?" Sachiko had heard the name he'd uttered. "Ohhh.. The girl I murdered today."

'O.O' was the only face that C'tarl made.

"Cute little kid with green hair and big eyes half the size of her face, right?" And she waved a 'Wanted' photo of her in the air.

"Ye.. Yeah." C'tarl stuttered, not quite sure what to make of this crazy girl.

"Hmm.. Always has some other little kid with her? 'Puchiko', was it?"

"Yeahyeahyeah." And C'tarl nodded furiously, until his ears flopped back and forth.

"I liked her. She was really cute- kinda like Chiyo-chan from school. Without the evil pigtails." Sachiko elaborated.

"YES!" C'tarl exclaimed.

"Mhmm. That's the kid. But I need one more... I never remember her name- it's so LONG! But I remember that she always wore pink and red.." Wrinkling her nose slightly, Sachiko tried to call up the elusive name.

"Rabi en Rose?" C'tarl interjected.

"Yes!" Sachiko said triumphantly. "She wears colors like the school uniform. And I don't like the school uniform, y'know."

"She's cute. Don't hurt Rose-chan!" he tried.

"I'll make it quick." Sachiko deadpanned.

"NO- YOU WON'T EVEN TOUCH HER!" and C'tarl unsheathed his sword out of hammerspace. "Not if I finish you first!"

Sighing, Sachiko only said "Take it up with Osaka. Not me."

"OSAKA? AS IN AYUMU 'OSAKA' KASUGA?" C'tarl freaked.

"Oh. Is that what her name was? I only know her by her Yakuza name.." she replied, unfazed at his spazzing.

"Yakuza?" Needless to say, C'tarl was probably traumatized by now.

"Yeah. Didn't you know? Osaka is the head of the Yakuza."

DUN DUN DUUNN! or something like that. D

Is it just me, or is the pace going too fast? Reviews are appreciated!
