Hi! I finally updated this one! I hope it's to your expectations! *sigh* Schools been soo evil to me lately! Plus I'm broke so I had to start working again..and..it' s horrible! (blame my game addiction) My boss is a slave driver! At least my colleagues are nice! Teehee! *ahem* enough about me..Ah! One thing..I rated this one T because..it contains guns, weapons, a few somewhat suggestive jokes..and little kiddies might learn bad words! Otherwise, its kid friendly..seriously the kids of today are waay too protected and stifled. *I'm going to stop here or it'll be a 2000+ word rant*


"Ren!Good news!" Hambe Takenaka giggled cheerfully on the other end of the phone "I found out everything you asked for! Heehee! It was so easy though!" He clapped his hands excitedly while in the background, a deep male's voice began shouting indistinctly. "...ah, so you can be useful." Yasuo smirked to himself as he lay on his bed fiddling with his MP-412. Papers and important-looking documents were strewn around the floor. Kiyomi would probably come in to clean it up later. "Peh...you already forgot? I'm not Ren anymore, I changed my name." He rolled over and reloaded the MP412 before throwing the empty cartridge out the window. Remember, it's not good to throw stuff out of windows.

"Oh yeah! *giggle* You're Yasuo Hayatori now! I forgot! Anyway..."There was some silence as Hambe shuffled through some papers "Hang on...Noooooo!*muffled arguing noises and breaking glass* Heeeyy! *gunshots* Kambe! Ran! *sounds of swords clashing* Shhh! I'm actually working now!...*muffled talking* YES!...What was that Kambe?...OK~~*indistinct chatter* Yasu? You still there?"

"...how much longer must I wait?..." Yasuo had pressed the phone between his ear and right shoulder while he leafed through a newspaper "..*sigh*..." He "Heehee! Let's get down to business! Anyway! Yasu! Some members of IZUMO will most likely be there are the concert today...hmm...you know the one at Kyoto? "

"...you mean the event where Motochika, Hideki and some lolis are performing?" chuckled Yasuo as he examined a reminder on his other phone :[Reminder: Requesting meeting regarding Assignment #21-45 QX, codename SC4M at 1400 hours, Kyoto Dome –Kiyomi Fujisaki] yeah yeah, I know. See ya."

~1500 hours, Kyoto Dome~

Onstage, Hideki Kaito the world famous pianist was performing with Gracia. At least 50 women were being lifted onto stretchers and attached to breathing apparatus. The rest of the crowd was struggling to contain their fangirling and fanboying. Gracia bounced happily around singing to his flawless piano playing.

"Hmm that guy's apparently a genius. Well, probably almost as smart as I am." Yasuo stood talking to himself as he watched Hideki. "Hideki..'esteemed excellence'... Kaito..'soaring sea' .and I'm Yasuo, 'strong man and Hayatori 'a swift bird'... Maybe I should have put some more thought.."

Kiyomi tilted her head 43 degrees, causing the bell around her neck to chime " I thought you considered meanings when you made a new name for yourself. Also, I fail to understand why you discarded your original name. Requesting-mm?" Kiyomi's eyes widened slightly as Yasuo sighed and placed a finger on her mouth. "Huh! Don't ask. Don't mention. Don't question. We already agreed not to meddle into each other's personal lives. Anyway.." he flicked his hair as he pointed to the poster in Kiyomi's hand "Gimme that, and Ill forgive you for attempting to trespass into my personal life."

""Negative. I refuse to part with this image of Motochika-sama." Kiyomi held on tightly to the limited-edition signed poster with a childish pout on her face.

"*sigh*"

~x~x~x~x~

"Heehee! Hi there everyone! I'm Yumi Naka~~" A short and extremely cheerful looking young woman with long loose brown hair skipped onto the stage. Despite being 20 years old, she was outfitted in a cutesy high schooler uniform complete with knee-high white socks. "Heehee! Yay! I'm so happy to be here! Let's go~" She stared directly at the camera and gave a wide toothy grin causing the audience to squeal with delight.

"Mi en wa umida, suki de waki" she spun around happily causing her pink skirt to twirl around while she waved to members in the audience. *THUD* squeal* *THUD*kyaaa* THUD* It seemed her cuteness levels were super effective for some of her fans.

Life is one time~~" She tilted her head cutely causing the large blue bow on her headband to flop slightly; and made a peace sign to the audience who either squealed with delight or fanboyed like crazy. "...what a lolicon!" Yasuo flicked his head with disinterest "Not to mentions she's flat chested..."

~Backstage~

Seated on a chair was a red girl. This wasn't an exaggeration. Her waist long hair was dark red and her eyes were also a lovely shade of red. Her entire outfit which consisted of a sleeveless knee-length dress was red. However, she was wearing black flat boots; so the previous statement should be revised.

"Hey. You're Motochika's bodyguard eh? The name's Yasuo Hayatori. Remember it well!" He walked over to her, crossed his arms and smiled smugly "Autographs, dating requests and worship can come later alright?"

"Huh? You say something?" Kurenai Kurokasa examined her fingernails as she glanced up at Yasuo. "Whatever."

"Hmph." Yasuo shook his head with mock sorrow "Yet another person who fails to comprehend my brilliance! Such a pity! Isn't that right, Kiyomi?" he flicked his hair and glanced at his partner, who was staring transfixed at the stage."...Motochika-sama..."

"..whatever" He shrugged his shoulders in an attempt to hide his 2.5 seconds of slight embarrassment. "...10 seconds." Kurenai pulled out a knife and pointed it at him "I'm giving you 10 seconds to clear off! I can't stand annoying idiots like YOU!" The raging redhead snarled angrily and pulled out another similar looking knife, for anyone interested, she was wielding a pair of stilettos.

"Silence." Kiyomi blinked back at Kurenai and calmly disabled her arms. "Please refrain from unneeded noise." She held Kurenai in a headlock before taping her mouth shut with duct-tape. "Motochika-sama is singing..." All this happened in 1 minute and 23 seconds.

"MMMMMM!MMMM!MMWWWPHH!" Kurenai struggled furiously to escape from Kiyomi's iron grip. "*CRACK*" There was a painful sounding noise as Kiyomi raised her hand and gave her a firm chop on the neck." I cannot tolerate interruptions to Motochika-sama. Good night Kurenai."

~x~x~x~x~

"Yasuo *kzzt* Hey!" squealed a high pitched teenage girl's voice from Yasuo's phone. "Oh if it isn't Flatso." yawned Yasuo as he lazily fished the phone out of his pocket and sighed. "I hate you!" Flatso *bzzt Typing Error 173-CH* Hanahime screeched angrily in the phone as the crackling intensified. "Anyway, I've been watching Gate #2 for the past hour. Okuni's just arrived and started setting up a charity stand. I'm going to tail her for a bit; you better come help me! Or else!"

"...and? Pfft. Don't tell me you're so hopeless you have to rely on me AGAIN?" smirked Yasuo as he stretched his arms and hung up. "*sigh* I'm too awesome for my own good..." he readied his trusty MP-412 and FN-FNC before giving his hair a quick brush "Ah well, it is part of the burden of being a genius. Kiyomi!"

"Affirmative." responded Kiyomi as she readjusted her meido headband and saluted sharply. "Now commencing Stage 2 of Operation. Pursuit and capture of Okuni, violence is deemed usable as long as target remains breathing."

~x~x~x~

"Hideki! Where's Gracia...Gracia!"Mitsuhide Akechi crashed backstage waving his guns frantically "Have you seen Gracia? She told me she was only going for a short while to see her friend..." he trailed off and sat down heavily onto a chair "...what am I going to do now...this is the 134,568th time she's gotten kidnapped since last year...*sigh*" He tiredly rubbed his forehead and fished inside his pockets for some aspirin. "Calm down Mitsuhide. Now, let's try think back to the last time we saw her..." Calm as ever, Hideki went over to his friend and gave him a pat on the shoulder. "Hmm...did she perhaps specify where she was going? And with who?"

"..noo.." Mitsuhide buried his face in his hands before his phone rang. "Vice Chief! We got a problem!" Hanahime's squeaky voice was panicked. "I pretended to help out with my brother and Okuni but *eek* oh! Well, Okuni and Goemon have started escaping and Magoichi's gone off to *sounds of gunshots* DIE! *rapid gun fire* he's gotten a few hostages and is planning on holding Yumi Naka and Tsukiko Yagami hostage.*kzzzzt*"

"Alright. Everyone, we have to evacuate. Rghh...why did Gracia have to get lost now!" Mitsuhide began barking out orders and everyone else began moving along with him. "Motochika! Quickly! This way!" Kurenai instantly sprang into action, grabbed Motochika by the wrist and pulled out a large survival knife. "Time for me to do my bodyguarding job."

"I heard everything Assistant Chief!" Yasuo grinned at Mitsuhide and waved cheekily from his seat."Well! leave that to Kiyomi and I! Hehe, this is nothing. Won't even take 5 minutes. Later" he turned and waved a hand lazily. "Kiyomi"

"Understood." Kiyomi nodded and without any effort, lifted a large 80kg briefcase onto her shoulders and followed after him.

~x~x~x~

"Alright, if you don't want to be filled with holes, drop your weapons and come out with your hands on your head." Magoichi Saika held up his BARRET- 50CAL and gave a warning shot. "This entire area is now under IZUMO! Haha!"

~x~x~x~

"Tsukiko Yagami?" Yasuo jerked a finger at Tsukiko who nodded before backing away "W-who are you? W-why do you know my name?"

"...AHAHAHA!" his loud laughter echoed through the room, mingling with the sounds of gunfire. Considering that he had magazines slung over his shoulders and 2 assault rifles in each of his hands...Tsukiko had every right to be terrified. "*sigh* must be tough being an inferior species...you're a well- known singer, how could I NOT know your name? LOLI?"

"Stop that! Eeek! You're being so mean! I betcha you're the bad guy's friend!" Yumi pointed her finger at Yasuo and aimed a glare at Kiyomi; who only blinked in response and continued firing her own sub-machine gun. "Your logic is flawed. We are from the Oda police force. Additionally, a Mr. Takenaka has expressed conerns for you safety. Requesting your cooperation."

*BANG* A gunshot rang out and Tsukiko cowered in the corner behind Yasuo who calmly fired away, laughing happily like a child. As soon as the gunshots faded, "..." his held up hand relaxed as he sighed and waved her to the door. "Oh! T-thanks so much!" Tsukiko flushed red as Yasuo let go of her shoulder and stood up to stretch his arms. "Keh. You should be bowing and scraping to me, I mean I just wasted my time babysitting a useless thing like you. Not to mention you're flat chested."

"Y-you're so mean! It would have been better if you didn't speak!" Tsukiko's face was red as she bunched her fists and glared at a nonchalant Yasuo "He was so nice until he talked to me! How could Hanbei be friends with this guy? "

~x~x~x~x

"kyaaaaaaaa!" Yumi's desperate screaming filled the air as Magoichi Saika emerged from within the smoke and placed her in a headlock with a knife under her throat. "Alright, I'll give you 10 seconds to drop all your weapons or this chick gets it."

"..Y-yumi!" Tsukiko shrieked with fear and buried herself into a ball. "No need to panic! I knew this would happen! Everything is still going according to plan" he flicked his hair back and threw away his now useless gun. "Heh! Is that all? Haha, what a lame threat" Yasuo laughed cockily and pulled out his 50 M2HB BMG. "What an idiot. Going after a sub-machine gun with a sniper rifle. *sigh*" He pulled some out some additional magazines before smirking to himself. "This is going to be soo easy. Snipers have horrible close range abilities and firing rate is slow..heheh..." he stood up and kicked down the door brandishing the 50 M2HB BMG "This baby can pump out 1200 rounds in a minute!- he paused to flash a confident smile- this'll be over in 15 seconds!"

"That won't be necessary." A calm and composed male voice interrupted just as Yasuo was about to pump lead into Magoichi and the hostages behind him. Hideki Kaito's white suit was as immaculate and perfect as ever; despite the messy situation. "You're going to hurt the hostages as well, haven't you thought of that?"

"Pfft, so what? As long as I get the guy dead or alive, that's all I care about" Yasuo shrugged dismissively and repositioned the gun "now, move aside Mister, I've got a job to do!"

"Oi, oi don't forget about me..." Magoichi sweat dropped and fired a shot at Hideki before aiming his rifle at him "Hey you, that famous piano guy. You be the hostage and I'll let the kids go. I reckon we'll get a higher ransom payment from ya. Deal? "

"Ah, of course. Please don't hurt anyone else." Hideki smiled calmly and held out his hands for Magoichi to tie up. His face was a serene and calm, however on the inside he was planning out the most efficient way to disable Magoichi.

"Mr. Kaito!" Tsukiko and Yumi hugged each other in fear and looked at him "! HELP! *kyaaa* Someone!" Yumi squealed in fear and looked around terrified "...*sniffle*" she buried her face in her arms before shaking. " Y-yumi?" An equally scared Tsukiko tapped her gently on the shoulder "heeheee! I'm okay now~~ heehee!" Yumi giggled softly and smiled reassuringly before slumping back with despair "no...I'm not..*sobs*...I'm so useless..*sobs*"

"..." as soon as Magoichi held Hideki's wrists to tie him up; Hideki had grabbed Magoichi's hand, flicked his wrist lightly and swiftly withdrew his hand. "GUh!" groaned Magoichi as he crumpled to the floor "Argh! M-my arm.." his right arm was all purple, all the veins were popping out and his hand was twitching slightly. "..rgh..what the hell did you do...ughh.."

"Threat apprehended." Kiyomi produced a pair of handcuffs, a blindfold and a whip from within her tight outfit. "Now commencing Phase 3."

"..." The hostages looked somewhat stumped, Magoichi blushed bright red and almost spat with shock at the items in her hands. "w-what the hell are you planning to do with that? I'm not a–mpmh!" Hideki gave him what appeared to be a gentle tap on the back of his neck; causing him to become limp and floppy.

"Your assistance is appreciated." Kiyomi bowed to Hideki who smiled kindly back before waving a hand "Not to worry young lady."

~x~x~x~

"Give it up." Mitsuhide stepped out from behind the police car and drew his guns.

"...ara...ara..." Okuni hugged the briefcase of money tightly to her chest "Won't any nice gentleman help a lady in need?" she fluttered her eyelids delicately and began to cry. "*sniff* I'm only trying to raise money to *sniff* help the poor orphaned children...*sniffle*" She wiped her eyes lightly with a handkerchief before glaring at the policemen "Have you no heart? *sobs* How could you turn a blind eye to the helpless members of society? Shame on you!"

"...Deputy Chief...we're sorry" a few of the policemen wiped tears from their eyes and held their hands over their hearts. A sergeant turned to Okuni and offered her his hand "..you poor thing...don't worry, we believe you..."

"MEN!" A furious Mitsuhide yelled into his megaphone in an effort to alert his useless underlings *ahem* workers about Goemon; who was charging like a mad bull towards Okuni. Around him, a few policemen who were doing their job lay motionless on the ground. One man appeared to have been flattened to the ground. "STOP THAT!" Trigger happy Hanahime was holding a QBB LSW and firing away; all the while with an almost possessed smile and her face. "Heheheh AHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"HEY! Get away!Okuni!" Goemon roared angrily and charged towards the nearest police car which toppled over; sending a group of policemen running for cover.. "Gahaha! Leave it to a master thief like me! Geheh!" he then body slammed the road block, leaving a clear path for escape. "Okuni! C'mon let's go!"

"*giggle* Thank you, Goemon dear!" Okuni giggled softly before mercilessly stamping on his head with her shoes and running over him. "Fare thee well!" she waved cheerily before climbing into a helicopter and disappearing.

"..."

"Well, what are you going to do about that Assistant Chief?" Yasuo grinned at Mitsuhide who began searching through his pockets for some painkillers. "Silence." Mitsuhide looked icily at Yasuo who smirked and shook his head. "Haha, must be tough being so incompetent, right Second-place?"


~Someplace, somewhere~

A group of young men dressed in sharp black suits complete with branded sunglasses stood in a circle around a rough looking man. Actually, one of the young men was wearing a singlet top to emphasise his well-toned biceps, triceps and rock solid abs. [Kiyomasa Kato, an architect by day, 4th in command for Toyotomi-kai by night..or vice versa.] Additionally, one of the young men was wearing an odd headdress, giving the impression that he was a devil who had fused with a fluffy rug. [Mitsunari Ishida, a detective for the police force, (why is he here then?) 3rd in command for Toyotomi-kai] Remember these facts well.

"Hmph. To think that you would try do something like this...such a pity..Masao." The fluffy-devil-rug man, or Mitsunari Ishida crossed his arms and shook his head slowly." You know that Toyotomi-Kai won't tolerate any drug dealings in their territory. Looks like I'll have to use that."

"No!..not that...! please...no..! NOT that" squealed the man, now identified as Masao as he widened his eyes in fear and began going down on his knees praying whatever higher being could intervene and save him from...that.

"Too late." said Mitsunari who shook his head slowly as he prepared to use that on Masao; who was now foaming at the mouth. "There's a reason why I'm wearing this today.." he pointed a finger at his fluffy rug thing. Well, to be accurate the deadly looking 10cm tall horns, which coincidentally gleamed in the bright lights of 5 high powered torches.

"...you can turn the lights off now." scoffed Mitsunari as he snapped a finger at the 5 underlings who were holding up torches and reflective screens.

"Heh?uhh..okay! Mitsunari sir!" The dim-looking men saluted sharply and began reloading the aforementioned items into the back of a shifty looking truck.

"Hah! Prepare to die!" 2 new underlings grabbed Masao by the arms while Mitsunari lowered his head...and gave him a headbutt...which included two stabs with the deadly horns."Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Masao's loud screams were quickly muffled as Masanori punched him in the stomach.

"Here you go." Kiyomasa bent down and placed a small envelope of money and a hospital voucher next to an unconscious Masao. "*sigh* You fools. The Old Man's going to throw a tantrum now.." sighed Kiyomasa as he flexed his arms before laughing. "RUN!Hahaha!"


So...chapter one comes to a close. What did you guys think? Be honest! *W* Oooh...what's Yasuo's real name? why is Mitsuhide always so uptight about being called 'deputy'? what were Kanbei and Ranmaru doing in the background? oohh...we'll find out soon!

Anyways:

Twilightcrystalflame..I hope you liked my portrayal of your oc! From her description and your dp..I kinda pictured her looking like a Team Magma grunt...dunno why lol.

Gianti-Faith...err well, I don't know who Kana Hanazawa is so..I... .. well! Hope you liked it!

Wandering Dude1..hope you liked Hanahime's portrayal, one question though, Masamune and Magoichi will be kinda 'the bad guys' and this would sort of conflict with Hana's occupation...I know it's sorta my fault for not being clear O..do tell me if there are any issues..I'll think of something..maybe..

Ayyarin...Hope you liked Hideki! He's a cool oc..and I'm worried I stuffed him up! *waah* Also, I had no idea what the chi-blockers in Avater did..soo...I based Hideki's fighting style somewhat on wuxia (The TOUCH OF DEATH O.o) and some martial art my dad's friend practises. (Don't know what it's called) I saw him literally hold a guy's wrist, FLICK it and the guys arm turned purple, all the veins popped out..and the scary thing..his arm was paralysed for 2 days.

Kurei-Chan! I hope I didn't make Yumi too much of a loli..because that's what she reminded me of...and expect to see 'her' sometime soon! (not sure if you would like you-know-who to be a future surprise..I kinda do teehee!)

All the gun mentioned are real, courtesy of C.O.D baby!

There was a joke my friend and I made when we saw Mitsu's SW3 design for the first time..those horns..can seriously kill...look at them..Haha SW-joke edition Mitsunari's C3 – slash, slash HEADBUTT! Instant KO! Lol! By the way, I made the Toyotomi and Tokugawa yakuza because..they're pretty much like modern day feudal lords you know?

Well, thanks to everyone for reading (even you guests out there...I know you're reading..I can see the views!) even a simple 'hi' for a review is nice, it makes us authors feel more motivated, even though I write for fun, it's still so nice reading reviews. Whew, this was a looong author's note.
