So...wow. I'm really overwhelmed right now. It's really nice that my first story is getting a decent reception. Basically, here's a run down: Gin's an ordinary kid, but his house just got burned down by the Russian Mafia, who were trying to kill his parents. Now he's with an old man named Felix who wants him to form a Mafia that will defeat the other families. They go to Tokyo and start getting stalked by a homeless mercenary named Kazu Hayashi, who's tall and wears all black. They visit Princess, a crazy lady who gives them a chest that everyone wants and now they're on a train and the chest just got stolen by a jerk named Hyou...
Ryo's train ride was becoming a living nightmare. Some blonde idiot let out sleeping gas and put everyone to sleep. Fortunately, Ryo had held his breath long enough, so he inhaled only a small amount of gas. When he came to, the room was filled with smoke. He watched as the two noisy guys dragged the silver-haired kid out the door. He felt a small breeze and turned. The blonde dude, now dressed in a suit and a small cap, winked at him and jumped out. Ryo shook his head and prepared to get off the train. Just then, the old man grabbed him and dragged him out the door. "Did you see the blonde man?" he shouted in Ryo's ear, as if Ryo couldn't hear him in the first place. Ryo pointed dumbly in the direction of the street. Felix took off, still dragging Ryo by the collar. "If you see him, tell me." Felix shouted.
Felix assessed his situation. This was a small town in the middle of nowhere. The main reason it even existed was as a train station fro peasants interested in going to Tokyo. The street was a bit crowded and filled with tourists stopping for a drink of water or a souvenir. Nobody would notice a tall blond foreigner running down the street. Instead, he asked street vendors if they had seen a large chest with several small blue stones forming stars on the lid. In the beginning, nobody seemed to have seen him, but as he got further into the street, the street vendors started remembering the strange man who was lugging the chest down the street. Finally, a young farmer told Felix Hyou had turned onto a small alley way a little ways down. He and Ryo went all the way to the end of the street, but still didn't find any alleyway. Suddenly, Ryo noticed a thin strip of shadow running down the street. The alley way was cleverly concealed behind a large trash can, so a typical passerby wouldn't have noticed it. Felix and Ryo slipped into the alleyway, tripping over a trash bag by accident. The alley was a dead end. They cross checked the alley six times, searching the entire floor for footprints. While Felix went back out check for other alleys, Ryo pushed every brick he could reach, checking for secret levers. He wasn't sure why he was even still here, but the mystery of the disappearing crazy blonde fascinated him.
Gin stood anxiously next to Kazu. Every five seconds he would try and call again. Still no answer. He sighed. His phone battery was almost gone and Felix still wouldn't pick up. Once more, he hit the call button. As the phone began to ring, he drifted off into thought. Maybe they got kidnapped. Or attacked. A boy was with them. He hoped he was oka-"Hello?" Felix's soothing voice instantly relaxed Gin. "Where are you guys?" Gin grumped. "Looking for Hyou!" Felix replied, a bit agitated. "The last train leaves in five minutes!" Gin shouted. Felix cursed and then spoke to someone quietly. A few minutes later, he came back on. "Okay, have Kazu get us rooms at that big hotel by the market. There's money in my bag. Then, call the number I sent to you. If a girl answers, tell her Ryo's not home, so have the yakimono in the fridge. If a woman answers, tell her Ryo's with a friend. Then get his luggage. It's under the seat." "Okay, but who's Ryo?" Gin asked. Felix chuckled. "The boy that's with me, silly." Gin said goodbye, explained to Kazu and started off, Kazu dragging the luggage behind him.
As they walked into the sunlight, Felix turned to glare at the alley...and promptly tripped over the garbage bag. The string came undone and out popped...Hyou. His vein bulged out, like bright purple snakes were slithering under his skin. His eyes were rolled back completely and his hands were clamped around his throat. Ryo gave a small involuntary shudder. "Amazing what pheremones and warfarin can do to you, huh?" Ryo looked up and his jaw dropped. Felix groaned. Of course it was Jane. A stunning specimen of human, she was tall, tan and curvy, with a naturally lovely face concealing a test-tube baby past. Jane originated from the same family as the famed Mukuro Rokudo of the Vongola. Completely immune to toxins, she became a talented assassin. "What do you want?" he asked wearily. She glared at him. "I want to kill you!" Ryo moaned next to him. Felix stared. Both of their veins were slowly turning green. "A fusion of death's angel and and cuttlefish toxins. It was in the bag." Felix keeled over, groaning. Jane's leg swung around. "Quit faking!" Felix got up. Jane attacked, sending a blast of whirling, chopping, smashing hands. Felix stood back, easily blocking her uncontrolled attacks. She growled. "Fight me, you condescending jerk! Why won't you fight me?" "I won't hit a woman." Felix replied. "Then stand down! Men like you don't deserve to live!" She sent a fist smashing into his unguarded stomach. She struck his head and kneed the man in the side. Felix groaned. "Still not gonna kill me? TOO BAD!" Jane ranted as her foot came slamming down on his chest.
In the hotel, Gin doubled over, wretching.
