No crossover on this one but i think the basic idea came from watching Weiss Kruez - which is you know weiss might be slightly obvious by the cat nicknames :P
It had been thirteen years since The Boy who Lived, Harry James Potter saviour of the wizarding world had dissappeared from his aunts home at age two and in that time there had been no sightings of him in the united kingdom. However if they had looked in america it would have been a differant story In a high rise apartment in New York city a teenage of about 15 stood leaning on the balustrade looking out at the city.
His black hair was short and spiked upwards with blue tips, his eyes were covered with dark sunglasses, his chest was bare and around his neck he wore a black choker with a silver tiger head dangling off it, his lower half was covered by blue jeans which had the cuffs rolled up to just below his knees and from his hand dangled a bottle of beer.
"Ryo are you here?" a voice called from inside the apartment and the teenager straightened up with a sigh and walked to the doorway before speaking "I'm here Mark" As he spoke a man came into the room he was about twenty three with short blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a black suit on his ear was a diamond earing in the shape of a tiger. "Good, good, have you eaten yet? and made sure you ate all your vegtables? you know you need the vitamins to help you heal"
"Stop worrying i'm fine" Ryo moved his arm around "see all healed"
"Ryo, you broke you arm and hand in five places, i have a right to be worried you never get distracted enough to get hurt"
"it was an accident mark im fine, you don't need to hover i've been looking after myself for years"
"The bosses would have my head if i didn't" Mark sighed "I'm serious have you eaten yet?"
"Yes i've eaten"
"damn i wanted some of your cooking, Is that beer in you hand?" Mark exclaimed rushing over to snatch "Your not old enough to drink yet"
Ryo rolled his eyes at the older male "Whatever, please don't tell me you only came here to complain about my eating and drinking habits?"
"No actually" Mark said seriously "I have the details of a job for you, However i'm cautious about excepting it so soon after your arm has healed"
"Mark i know my limits my arm is fine"
"Alright i'll take your word for it"
"Whats the job?" Ryo asked as he moved further into the room and took a seat at the table Mark followed him, sat opposite the teen and pulled a large envolope from the inside of his jacket. The contents of the envolope were laid on the table between them.
"Micheal Halling, he's the second in command of the Black scorpians"
"black scorpians wasn't that the gang that the puma team were supposed to take down?"
"Yes, it seems that whisker wasn't ready and messed up"
"So the tiger team has mop up duty?" Ryo asked incedeously "Not just us Ryo, tiger, cheeter, leopard and panther teams have one of the top guys each and lynx, ocelot and bombay are after some of the lower members"
"That many? the commander must want these guys out of the way fast for all of us to have been called in to help, why the hell did they give the mission to a rookie in the first place if it was so important?"
"Whiskers scores have been amongst the highest in the simulations the trainers thought she would do well" Mark then smirked at the teen "I think they were comparing her to you" Ryo glared at Mark "there's been talk of placing her with an experianced team so she can get some working knowldege"
"I hope you made sure our name won't go on that list"
"Of course i am well aware of your dislike for rookies"
"Most of em don't know what the hell they're really getting into"
"We prepare them as much as we can"
"Whatever" Ryo said and looked down at the photo of his target "Do we have any other details about this guy?"
"Of course, Whisker managed to take out the head scorpian so micheal is trying to step into his place, he's got a meeting tomorrow night with louis Carmont son of the head of the carmont family to discus the alliance agreement between the gang and family and whether it still holds, you'll have an oppotunity then, if you can take them both out do it, if not then your target is micheal"
"It would be better to take them both then there would be confusion on who i was actaully targetting and which was the bonus" Ryo said calmly "Where's the meeting taking place?"
"La insanguinato gatta in Rome"
"The bloody cat?" Ryo asked
"Exactly"
"Got it, so am i going solo or are you coming along?"
"We go together partner" Mark laughed
"Can't i get a new partner you're annoying?" Ryo complained the edge of his lips twitching in an effort not to smirk.
"Oh like i need to have a smartmouthed genius as my partner" "Can't help being what i am" Ryo shot back "hey do you know when my results will be in?"
"Results?" Mark asked fiegning ignorance
"My masters for Wards, Curses and Charms?"
"Ah you magical exam results"
"don't play with me mark"
"They should be on my desk on Monday morning"
"Great" Ryo smiled.
"I don't get it though"
"Get what?"
"You, i don't get why you came to work for Katz when you could have your pick of jobs in the magical world and it wouldn't take you much to get a high paid job in the mundane world either i know you have mundane qualifications"
"we've been the handler of Tiger for over a year and you still haven't figured that out?"
"nope, so enligten me"
"Katz does good work, i get to travel, lots of money, freedom to not take a job if i choose, not being stuck in either world but the ability to work in both, did i mention lots of money?"
"So you haven't really got a reason?"
"I was raised by the previous Tora" Ryo shrugged "he was dieing when he found me, he saw potential and took me in to begin my training, he died when i was seven and the Katz trainers took over from then on i was aiming for the Tora name to be his legacy" ryo said softly "So you joined Katz for family?"
"He was the closest thing i had to a father he even gave me my name, Besides i liked training with Katz and working for them" Ryo then shook his head and asked "So how are we getting to rome and when are we leaving"
"Plane and tonight" Mark answered "Well Kiba of tiger team we should get packed "pack light Tora of tiger team" Mark answered and stood to leave "i'll pick you up at six and our flight is at nine"
"I'll see you later then"
"Remember six o'clock"
"Hai hai now go away" Twenty four hours later Ryo was knelt on a rooftop across the street from the bloody cat looking down into the private club with a gun in each hand both of which were targeting a differant man the guns fired simaltaniously and Ryo spent a second watching to make sure both had been hit before he turned away and transformed into his animagus shape of a small black cat and silently padded off knowing there was no way anyone would find him.
"I hearby call this meeting of the Order of the pheonix into session" Dumbledore said standing at the head of the table around the table were member of the order the youngest was fourteen and the eldest, was Dumbledore himself. "Does anyone have any news?"
"Last week three of the dark lords contacts were killed" one of the members said "He's furious about it"
"Severus do have anything to add to Draco's report"
"Nothing except that voldemort wants whoever did it dead, the three were taken out simaltaniously so he doesn't think it was the same person, it was also done very neatly and by muggle means"
"So it's possible that they weren't killed by wizards at all?" Tonks asked leanng forward intrested
"No, the wounds had magic residue" Draco cut in "it took hours for the coroners to find it and even then it was only by chance that they did"
"so the wounds were caused by spells?" Tonk asked confused "No they were caused by wire which had been charmed when the wire struk it left a small piece of magic residue" Snape snapped.
"Can the caster be tracked through the residue?" Mcgonogal asked
"No, there isn't enough there to get a proper reading of it, However He does have a suspect he thinks it was done by the organisation known as Katz"
"Katz?" Hermione asked
"Katz is an organisation that takes down criminals and murderers any way possible usually by killing them, they use assasins, spies, hackers and thieves to get the job done and they employ and train the best those that don't make the grade are either trained as handlers for the field workers, used as messangers, used as worker for katz's public buisnesses, data sorters and profilers or killed" Mundagus explained "Katz doesn't take faliure well, each person has three chances, after each failure a more experinced member take the younger on as a student if the teacher dosn't think they can improve then their either tranfered to another field or job or killed"
"How do you know that gus?" Kingsley asked "I had a friend who was a member of Katz never knew his real name but he was Griffe of team calico"
"Griffe of team calico?" "griffe always refused to tell me what team calico was or how many were in a team, i got the impression that there were quiet a few people in the team" Mundagus explained "Any way if one assasin fails they send a better one to do the job until it's done" "Why don't we hire Katz to kill you-know-who" One of the members of the order asked "if as Gus said and they don't fail"
"Or if they would even take the job" Arthur weasley said frowning "They might" Mudagus said slowly "It would cost quiet a bit to get an assasin that high in skill"
"But it could be done, we don't have much choice here and if Katz can do it" tonks trailed off "So who's going to contact them?" Mundagus asked and everyone turned to him "Wha?"
"Your the one with the contacts" Kingsley said "Fine fine i'll contact them and request an assasin, who's paying for it?" He asked "The Malfoy family will if the assasin succeeds" Draco told them "On to other buisness" Dumbledore said bringing the matter to a close "Bill you said you had news from Gringotts"
"Yes, I over heard two Goblins speaking about the Potter accounts"
"The Potter accounts are you sure?" Moody asked leaning forward "I'm sure, The Potter account is active and has been for the last three years, they were talking about the investments that Mr. Potter had made and the money he's been putting into the account. The Goblins are very impressed with his investments"
"So thats definate proof that Harry Potter is alive?" Tonks said "Yeah, not that it helps us much but he's definatly alive." Bill said
"We have a mission" Mark said coming into the kitchen of ryo's apartment where Ryo was frying vegtables in a wok.
"So soon?" Ryo asked "It hasn't been that long since my last one"
"Yeah well they wanted to send on of the best, It's a large one so four members of Tiger are gathering"
"Four now you've defiantly caught my attention" Ryo said "Just give me a minute to finish cooking these and if you want to be helpful you can get another plate out and set the table"
"Sure Ryo" "Which members of tiger are being called in to work?"
"You obviously and me, so assasin, handler, spy and thief"
"Tora, kiba, metsuki and yubi"
"Yes" Mark nodded as he set the table and Ryo put the rice, fried vegrables and grilled strips of pork on the plate before setting the plates on the table and taking his seat "Thank you" Mark nodded and Ryo muttered "itadakimasu" before he started eating
"So whats the target?" Ryo asked
"Voldemort" Mark was treated to a piece of half chewed pork hitting him in the face
"What?" ryo cried
"Voldemort" Mark repeated wiping his face "Do you need to get your ears checked ryo it wouldn't be good for my assasin to have hearing trouble"
"there nothing wrong with my ears and you know it" Ryo growled "Are you serious about the target?"
"I wouldn't joke about that name" Mark said seriously
"so someone had the balls to actually put out a hit on him"
"The contract came by the way of mundagus fletcher, who was friendly with griffe the thief of calico, before griffe was killed of course, he's small time thief that works in magical London"
"So Who's he working for?" Ryo asked "He won't say" the handler answered darkly "Taking out Voldemort that will be a challenge" "the question is is it to much of a challenge for Tora?"
"i'll need more information"
"Metsuki should have the information for you soon"
"Good, hopefully she can also get information on who is buying the assasination" The teen commented leaning back in his chair. "Which other teams are looking into it?"
"Jaguar, cheetah, lion, leopard and panther"
"Top teams"
"Yes and there may be more than one assasin going to England"
"True" Ryo nodded "if they do go i'll be happy to have the help, it won't be easy at all, but it might be easier with help"
"Never thought i'd here the great Tora Ryo say that"
"Hey i can admit i need help" Ryo said faking offence
"really i thought your moto was that if Ryo couldn't do it then obviously no one could, you are the most well rounded assasin the Katz have, your a hacker, a thief a spy"
"I wouldn't be a good assasin if i wasn't" Ryo said dryly standing and he took the plates to the sink "an assasin is not just a killer he must be as silent as a thief to sneak upto his target, as technically canny as a hacker to keep himself hidden and to find his target, as subtle and cunning as a spy to infultrate his target's guard and to find out the best approach to the target and best way to kill"
"That sounds like it has been drilled into you"
"yeah it's what were told to memorise in Katz training as an assasin"
"good thing i didn't train as an assasin then isn't it"
"What did you train as? i don't think i've ever asked"
"Spy, i wasn't good enough to go to one of the teams so i decided to become a handler instead tell ya something though i didn't expect it to be so hard keeping track of four people"
"We all do diferant things at differant times and you worry to much, you really should trust us more" Ryo said softly his lips quirking up in a small smile "Where are we meeting the others?"
"Tomorrow morning at nine in the Wild Kat club, i just came over to give you a head up"
"You could have phoned, but then you wouldn't have gotton any of my cooking"
"well i have to make sure your eating well"
"you just like my food" Ryo smirked "Your a good cook" Mark shrugged "you could easily become a chef"
"Maybe i wil someday" Ryo said quietly "I have enough money to open a restaurant maybe i'll cut back on the missions and run a restaurant"
"Seriously?"
"Yeah" Ryo turned to Mark and smirked "But not for a while yet, i'm fifteen i got the rest of my life to think about it and running a restaurant sounds fun or maybe massage palor it can't be that hard to learn how to massage or a hairdresser. hey how do you think i'd be as a hairdresser"
"You insane, and you'd be a terrible hairdresser, unless of course your chopping at the neck"
"hmm beheading style hair cut, i can do those" Ryo nodded "How much should i charge?"
"Well it is a death sentance so why don't you get them to write you into their will with their fortune going to you"
"I'd have to only accept the ones who had lots of money and make them sign a contract saying that i had absolutly nothing to do with their deaths"
"Except for chopping their head off"
"Yeah except for that"
"Katz would end up terminating you if you did that"
"True" Ryo nodded "i'd be watched if i worked in a restaurant to, to much chance of me poisoning the guests"
"Thats assuming people would come to your resurant" Mark laughed and stood "well i'd better get going i have to check in with the others and i promised some friend i'd go out with them tonight"
"Oh such a hard job you have" Ryo said sarcastically
"And don't you forget it after all i have to deal with you on a regular basis" Ryo rolled his eyes at that and turned back to his washing up "See ya tomorrow morning mark"
"get a good nights sleep Ryo" Mark said as he left
"Always has to get the last word in" Ryo muttered shaking his head.
At Ten to nine the next morning Ryo entered the Katzchen club, a club where all the staff were members of Katz and where team members could relax knowing there completly safe the offices in the building were perfect for holding meetings in such as the one Ryo was on his way to entering the room he saw Mark, and two women. One of the women had long brown hair which was tied in a high pony tail and brown eyes infront of her sat a laptop, and she was wearing purple jeans and a blue gypsy style top around her neck she wore a knecklace with a tigers head pendant hanging from it, the otherwoman had chin length blond hair wich had pink streaks running through it, she was wearing a short black skirt and a pink off the shoulder top, from each of her ears hung a short metal chain with a tigers head on the end of it.
"Ohayo tigers" He said going further into the room
"Good morning Tora" the blond said with a smile
"Yeah yeah come and sit tora we don't have all day" Mark commanded and Ryo raised an eyebrow as he took a seat. "It's been decided that there will be three teams working on the voldemort mission, Tiger, panther, and lion"
"The top three" The brunette commented
"Exactly metsuki"
"We already knew it would be difficult, but to realise it was difficult enough to send the top three" Metsuki commented
"Well i for one will be glad of the help" This caused the two women to stare at him "What?"
"Are you feeling alright Tora?" Yubi asked concerned "I'm not sick" Ryo complained "I can ask for help sometimes you know" He growled "Yeah but not straight away by the time you ask for help your neck deep in trouble" Yubi said lightly "Che" Ryo huffed leanig his chair back on two legs as his feet rested on the table
"Back to buisness" Mark said "metsuki what have you got for us?"
"Quiet a bit kiba" Metsuki answered "Voldemort has a large group of followers however they are not well trained our assasins could cause alot of chaos with just a few prank type traps. The problem is we don't know much about the defences of Voldemort himself"
"No one does" Yubi cut in "there are rumours that his defences include something called horcruxes but" Every one looked at Ryo when he managed to make his chair fall backwards as he jerked when she said Horcrux.
"Are you sure about that name?" Ryo asked one he was upright again
"Yes i think so"
"You know anything about it Tora?"
"Yeah, it's dark very dark, a horcrux is made by spliting your soul and placing the split part into an object, the soul gets split when you use the avada to kill an innocent, and an innocent means a child under ten years old or a pregnant woman" Ryo told them quietly "So old voldie might have done that"
"It is possible" Metsuki said "it also might be the answer to how he managed to survive when his body was destroyed"
"But we have no way in knowing how many he's created" Ryo sighed slumping back in his seat.
"Should be to hard to find out" Yubi said "You just need a locator map set to voldemorts magical signiture"
"Is there a locator which can do that?" Mark asked leaning forward onto the table
"Of course" yubi answered "How do you think i find stuff like this, admittedly i've never found anything on this kind of scale but we'll have the lion and panther to help cast it, and if we have to scan the whole world i'm sure all the katz thieves would be glad to be part of it i doubt a spell like this has ever been done on a scale were talking about."
"Which one of us will be going with Fletcher?" a tall blond haired man asked in a light german accent.
"Tora and kiba" A women answered "Those two can get out of any sticky situation that arises"
"Ya that sounds about right"
"Sounds fine to me" Ryo said making theother two jump as they hadn't heard him come up to them "Where are we meeting fletcher?"
"Hangmans inn in knockturn alley at one this afternoon" The german answered and Ryo nodded and walked back to where Mark was standing with the spys for panther and lion, The assasins for lion and panther were both seperated from everyone and all three assasins were carefully watching their surroundings mentally noting down everything they would need if things went sour. once they had their luggage the three teams seperated going in differant directions once in London itself the team seperated into individals and all headed for seperate hotels. all of them planning to meet the next day at the Katz owned club in central london. Ryo checked into his hotel and got a few hours sleep before he showered and dressed in leather trousers around the waist it had a silver chain link belt which on a mental command from Ryo would undo itself and lengthen to become a whip, over that he wore a tight black muscle shirt, on his forearms were bracers which had senbon and throwing knives tucked in them with a black button down shirt with loose sleeves over the top of that, around his neck was a black choker with a tiger head hanging from it, on his right ring finger was a silver ring with an open mouthed tigers head on it, the head could be opened to show a small cavety which was filled with concentrated poison which could kill in the right quantity and would put you to sleep on the smallest quantity possible. Ryo's feet were covered by black combat boots which had knives tucked into special sheiths inside the boot and a knife in the sole, the last piece of jewllery he put on was a watch which had wire inside it. Ryo moved his arms and wrists experimentally to make sure he could move freely and get to his weapons, the last thing Ryo put on before leaving was his coat which was a long black trench coat. In the back of the coat was a sheeth for a sword which would hang down the wearers spine, also attatched to the coat was six gun harnesses each holding a gun, three more knife sheeths the pockets of the coat were cut and instead of the pocket was a hole on the right hand side was a wand holder with Ryo's wand in it and on the left hand side was a card holder made for holding ofuda, on the inside of the coat was a pocket that held his wallet and potions vials pulling his coat on Ryo again made sure he could reach all his weapons and slipped a pair of sunglasses on his nose before he left his hotel room and headed for Diagon Alley to meet with Mark. Inside Diagon Alley Ryo headed for floretcue's ice cream parlor where his handler was waiting for him he ordered an icecream and then joined his friend.
"Kiba" Ryo said as he sat "Good afternoon tora, are you ready for the meeting?"
"Of course"
"i suppose you'll want to go shopping after the meeting?"
"i might, there are always books floating around that need to be added to my collection"
"Or new magical weapons?" Mark said slyly
"Exactly, i want to make a visit to my vault while i'm here as well"
"You have a vault here?"
"I do" ryo nodded "to be honest i have vaults dotted around the world but the vault here has been in my family for generations"
"Your family or Tora's?"
"mine, Though i do have access to the Tora vaults i have no real need to use them, though i do place money in there every so often theres no telling if the next Tora might have need of it"
"What gets put in the Tora vaults anyway?"
"All sorts of things" Ryo shrugged "Anything the previous Tora's thought would be useful, didn't you get a vault from the previous Kiba?"
"I did" Mark nodded The two talked as Ryo ate his icecream and then got up and headed for Knockturn alley and the hangman inn. Once at the inn they spotted the man who's photograph they had been shown and went over to the man and Mark took the seat infront of him while ryo stayed standing keeping a weary eye on the surrounding and other patrons of the inn.
"Mundagus fletcher? i'm Kiba of the tiger" Mark said "i'm here to sort out the details of the contract"
"I've been told to bring you to the meeting place by portkey" Mundagus said
"So be it however if this is a trick my associate and i will kill you"
"y-Yes i understand, please put our hand on this" Mundagus held out a news paper and Ryo moved slightly so he could also put a hand on it and all three of them felt a yank on their navels as they portkeyed away from the inn.
They landed in a dark house and Ryo's senses imediatly came alert as he sensed so much dark magic. Keeping a weary eye out he followed Mark and Fletcher into another room where a long table was sat and ten people were sat around it Ryo's eyebrow quirked upwards when he saw Albus Dumbledore sat at the table.
"Welcome gentlemen"
"Albus Dumbledore" Mark greeted
"Ah i see you already know who i am my assosiates, Alastor Moody, Severus snape, Draco Malfoy, Arthur Weasley, Minerva mcgonogal, Remus lupin, nymphadora tonks and kingsley shaklebolt and you two are?"
"I am Kiba of the tiger and my partner is Tora of the tiger, like i told Mr. Fletcher were here to Find out who's paying for the hit and to find out if you know anything about the protections the target has"
Ryo soon tuned out the negotiations and concentrated on his surroundings until a quiestion from tonks brought his mind back to the presant.
"Will we meet the assasin that will take out you-know-who"
"You already have" Mark answered
"Your the assasin?" She asked suprised
"Not me but my quiet friend over there" Mark gesured at Ryo with his hand
"Isn't he a bit young to be as assasin?" Arthur asked
"Tora has been a working assasin since he was twelve and been trained since he was six he's one of the best" Mark said scathingly "Which is why he was sent on this hit"
"Katz trains children as assasins?" Arthur asked horrified
"Not normally Tora was a special case, Now back to the mission, do you know where his base is?"
seeing as they weren't talking about him anymore tora's eyes strayed around the room when he came across a head pocking out from under the table and after making sure no one was watching Ryo knelt on the floor and offered a piece of jerky to the dog who slowly came closer unti he took the jerky from Ryo hand and the assasin petted the large dog, his face fell into a frown when he felt the dogs ribs and silently he led the dog out of the room and soon found the kitchen.
"You should not be so thin" He growled out looking through the cupboards as the dog looked on in amusment as Ryo turned on the stove and started to cook the meat he had found he also found a bowl and as soon as the meat was cooked he put it in the bowl and reached into the inside pocket of his coat and brought out a small vial of potion and poured it over the meat, turning he saw the dog staring at the potions vial. "The potion will help your body digest the food properly and help it to translate the food into meat to put on your bones your to thin, admittedly the potions works better on humans but it'll still do it's job on you. All Katz members have to carry that just in case something happens and we have to get the best out of our meals it'll last three weeks so eat as much as you can in that time and it should bring you up to a healthy weight"
"Who the hell are you?" A Voice shouted from the doorway and Ryo turned to see a red haired girl Ryo ignored the girl and instead checked the heat of the bowl and food and then placed it on the floor for the dog and silently walked past the girl and slipped back into the meeting and retook his place in the shadows.
it was aother three hours before Mark and Ryo left via another port key and apperated to another location before they began walking "Did you find out where we were?"
"Of course" Ryo smirked "i also bugged the meeting room, kitchen and the hall way in between"
"Good Metsuki should already be monitering it"
"Did you get anything from them about the protections or even where the target is?" Ryo asked
"not much about the protections they didn't even mention anything about the horcrux's, and they have no idea where voldemort is basically the meeting was a waste of time"
"Great" Ryo sighed "I'll see you tomorrow morning Kiba" Ryo said and turned down a side street heading for the darker parts of London.
"Do you think they can do it?" Tonks asked after the tiger duo had left
"We'll see" Dumbledore said "They don't have much information to work with so that will make their job harder, What do you think of them?"
"Kiba seems friendly and smart, Tora scared me he was so silent and shadow like" "He is an assasin" Moody reminded her
"Yeah but he looks around Hermione and Ron's age, and he was wearing those glases the whole time but it's not that light in here"
"Do you think he actually speaks at all?" Remus asked
"Not to humans" Sirius piped up from his seat "He was talking to me while i was padfoot, and he cooked me some food said i was to thin, but he shut right up when ginny came into the kitchen"
"How strange" Kingsley muttered "Maybe he just doesn't know how to deal with people" Arthur said "mr. Kiba did say that Tora had trained as an assasin from age six"
"he should be in school not going around killing people"
"Did you find anything instresting from listening to the survalence?" Ryo asked as the tiger team settled down around a table.
"Not much, except they think you should be in school" Metsuki told him
"our Tora would be bored in a school" Yubi laughed and Tora rolled his eyes
"So nothing on voldemort?" Mark asked
"nothing, sorry Kiba, it looks like were going to have to do this ourselves" metsuki told him
"Fine, Yubi get with doigt and dito and start to prepare for that locating spell, we also need to knowhow we're going to tune it in to look for voldies magic" Ryo ordered
"We could use the dark mark as a basis, the problem with that is that we would then be finding all the deatheaters as well as voldemort and the horcruxes" Yubi said "But i'll get right on it"
"Thanks, Metsuki i need you to keep monitering the order and get Yeux and Occio to place bugs in the ministers office and the head of the magical law enforcments office as well as the main MLE places if they can, If you need us i'm sure Thera, Lyon and i will be ok with helping you place bugs"
"We'll get a list drawn up of the possible sites and people for the bugs Tora"
"Good, you can reach my on my mobile, i'm going to mee Lyon and thera"
"Going shopping?" Mark asked with a raised
"It's not often i'm in London" Ryo replied "By the way what do you need Dente, epineaux and i to do?"
"We need background checks on all the names our eyes are going to be giving us so your on that" And with that Ryo left the room and made his way to the appiriton point and transported himself to the apperition point in daigon alley where he made his way to the ice cream shop.
Coming up to the shop he spotted four people he recognised the first two were the other two assasins, one was a tall brunette male with striking purple eyes who was wearing jeans and a blue t-shirt, around his waist ryo could just make out a silver belt exacly like the one he was wearing and on his feet were combat boots, around his neck was a red choker with a gold lion hanging of it, over the back of his chair was a coat that was exactly like Ryo's own, the other assasin was female and had chin length blond hair and dark green eyes she was wearing a short leather skirt with a white tank top with a white shirt open over the top of it, like the two guys she wore a choker however hers was white and a panthers head hung from it and around her waist was a silver chain, on her feet were 2 inch high heeled boots which he knew, although Ryo couldn't see them, had knives sheethed inside them, a coat was slung over the back of her seat and a bag was sat by her feet Ryo's eyes swept over them a second time mentaly catalogues which weapons his fellow assasins were wearing, The other two people Ryo recognised were two red head both of which had been at the house that had hosted the meeting about the contract. After collecting a bowl mint and chocolate ice-cream Ryo joined his fellow katz at their table
"Ah Tora right on time" the woman said standing as she reached over to hug the younger assasin
"Thera" Ryo nodded to her then returned the hug and nodded to the man "Lyon"
"Tora, you promised to take me shopping today, i've never been in London before so you two will have to show me the sights" Thera said rapidly almost briming with excitment at the thought of going shopping.
"calm your self thera, tora and i have mostly been here on working vacations but we an show you the sights" Lyon laughed
"Ah Mr. Tora i didn't expect to see you in Daigon alley" Mr weasley said as he stopped at the table on his way out Ryo just nodded to them
"Don't mind Tora he doesn't talk much" Thera told them with a chuckle "Though if he does talk it's to give you a lecture on something Usually about food, cooking or neutrution, we're all just waiting for him to open a restaurant somewhere"
"I'm Arthur weasley by the way"
"nice to meet you, i'm thera and this is lyon, when did you meet tora?"
"We met yesterday are you in the same line of work?"
"we are" Lyon nodded
"I see" Arthur said "i was under the impression that only tora and kiba would be working with us"
"Not with you, for the guy who's paying us, normally there would only be Tora here but the project is a large one he'll need help to find the goal and complete it" Thera said "Surprised alot of us when he admitted it would take him longer on his own"
"Indeed Tora is not one to admit he needs help, the problem is he usually doesn't"
"So what are you doing in diagon?" Ginny aksed
"Shopping, or we will be once tora finishes his icecream, i swear he's addicted to the stuff" Thera said and Tora glared at her lyon shook his head in exasperation as the female assasin stuck her tongue out at Tora.
"you need a guide?" Ginny asked "Nah we're heading out into London this is just the meeting place, plus Tora had to choose to meet somewhere he knew there would be icecream nearby"
"Stop harping about the icecream" Tora growled "I like the stuff so what you like shopping and you don't hear me going on about it, hell i even agreed to go shopping with you" Tora ground out.
"Ah the silent one speaks" thera cheered "Sometimes i thing you the one thats fifteen thera" Lyon sighed
"Your fifteen?" Ginny asked "then why were you at that private meeting?"
"Buisness" Tora snapped "We have shopping to do please excuse us" The young assasin stood and put his coat on a move followed by the other two.
"Hey you said your going out into muggle Londen do you mind company?"
"Sorry little one but Tora only has so much patience, and he has to deal with thera." Lyon said soothingly
"I won't cause any trouble i promise but i've never been out into muggle london before"
"And you won't be today" Tora growled "Stay with your father, the places we're going aren't places for children"
"Hippocrite your only a year older than i am"
"Ginny" Arthur said warningly.
"Maybe we should take her" Thera mused "That might teach her to not stick her nose into buisness not her own"
"No" Tora said coldly "if only for the reason that we will not be returning to Diagon alley today and heading the muggle world which if i remember correctly most wizards and witches do not know a thing about, you would stick out like a sore thumb, and we do not have time to babysit."
"But you've already said you're just going shopping" Ginny argued unknowingly angering the stoic teen who's hand twitched as if wanting to go for his knife, Lyon seeing the signs stepped to Tora's side and placed a hand on Ryo's shoulder reminding him where he was and he really couldn't pull a knife on the girl, no matter how annoying. Ginny on the other hand couldn't figure out what she'd done wrong Mr. Tora was a member of the Order, wasn't he?
"Ginny they are most likely to be going into some dangerous places, none of which are places where a young girl such as you should go"
"I can defend myself" She snapped
"Without magic?" Tora asked coldly "If i remember correctly England does not allow children to use their magic during the summer break" And with that Tora turned and walked away from Thera and Lyon following. The young redhead narrowed her eyes and pulled away from her father to follow the three but Arthur's hand flashed out and gripped her arm not letting her follow.
"All of us have said no" Arthur said harshly "And we still have some shopping to do here in the alley."
