Okay this one took a while mainly because I decided to rewrite it… three times and then I had to type it… and I'm a terribly slow typer (Is that a word?). Anyway since you all enjoyed chapter 4 and a half (It wouldn't let me use 4.5) I have decided to implement more comedy into this story and the easiest way to do that is to use Riko (No matter how much she aggravates me to write for). So chapter 5… Enjoy and review and even if you are a visitor to the site please review. So far my favorite thing about this story is that my readers are from all over the world! Thank you to all my wonderful readers.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I found out that Riko's nickname for Reki is Rekiyu. So that is what I will have Riko call her from now on.

Chapter 5

Worst Night Ever… Of All Time

Riko's Chosen Meeting Place

The Neko Neko Café –Private Booth

Sunday September 13th 03:17

If Riko hadn't been the best at gathering information, I probably would've shot her by now. For all the places she could've chosen to meet, she just had to choose a stupid cat café. All the waitresses were dressed as cats and all the customers were a bunch of perverted old men gawking at the waitresses, not to mention all of the stupid cats walking around the place. One of the cats walked over to where I was sitting and immediately started to use my leg as a scratching post. It took all of my willpower to not take out my rifle. After all I was more of a dog person anyway.

Then, much to my relief, Riko walked through the door. I heard her order something called the Super Duper Neko Neko Sundae. The waitress' face was a mixture of shock, fear, and excitement. The waitress then ran towards the kitchen. Immediately I got a terrible feeling and hoped that my business with Riko would be finished before the sundae thing came out.

"Hey Rekiyu! Don't you just love this place?" She twirled around the room, laughing happily.

"No…" How the hell can she always be so happy?

"Boohoo, you're such a party pooper!" She leaped onto the couch directly across from me and pulled a small manila folder from the many frilly folds on her uniform.

I instantly narrowed my eyes. I had told Riko to gather every last scrap of information on Tatsu. The folder barely had anything in it.

"Now Riko knows that Rekiyu wanted all the info but his was all Riko could find." She held the folder out to me and as I reached for it she quickly pulled the folder out of my reach. "Uh-Uh! Riko wants her payment first." I angrily took a small game disk out of shirt pocket and tossed it towards her. "Hooray, a new one!"

Just then a waitress walked in carrying a massive bowl of ice cream, chocolate, caramel, cherries, and some strange topping that suspiciously smelled heavily of alcohol. I looked helplessly at Riko, but she was much more engrossed in examining the disc which had a picture of a samurai on it.

I looked to where Riko had placed the folder… only to notice that the waitress had placed the massive bowl on top of it. The waitress laughed as she exited the room.

I needed the folder but there was no way I would I could lift the bowl without spilling it on the folder.

Riko had finally put the game away somewhere and was now drooling and looking at the massive dessert in front of me while laughing hysterically.

I prayed that she wouldn't make too much of a mess.

Half an hour later…

Riko was now lying upon the couch groaning and hiccupping loudly. The large bowl sat upon the table completely empty. I myself was perfectly fine, for I had refused to touch the thing. Though Riko hadn't thought much about it and had dove straight into the thing as quickly as possible.

"Rekiyu come to Riko!" And now of course the alcohol was beginning to take effect. As usual Riko was portraying herself unusually, which in a way was usual for her. "Rekiyu! Come to Ricoooooo!" Now she was leaning over the large bowl attempting to get over to me. I had my foot blocking Riko form getting to me. Her forehead was pushing against my boot, although now she was in the way of the folder.

I began to wonder if I would ever get that Intel. Especially since now Riko was making kissy faces at me and of course all of the cats coming into the booth.

One of the cats leaped onto Riko's back and began playing with her hair. Another leaped onto my lap and I eyed it coldly. In response, it bit my outstretched leg, causing Riko to slam into me.

Yet another Half Hour Later…

After that fiasco Rico had passed out and was now in a sugar-induced coma, most of the customers had left, and the waitresses were getting ready to close. The cats were huddled in a corner after I had kicked at one viciously. I was covered in scratches from the cats and bruises from when Riko had slammed into me.

I thought about opening the file here and now but the second Riko woke up would be a living hell for me, and that of course I wanted to avoid at all costs.

I sighed heavily, I would have to go somewhere quiet if I was ever going to read Tatsu's file.

Hole in the Wall Café

Sunday, September 13th 04:56

The Hole in the Wall Café was a small quiet place unknown to most people and almost impossible to find unless you knew exactly where to find it. It was in the middle of downtown Tokyo in a dark alleyway. The exterior was a traditional Japanese style but the inside was a very westernized theme. There were black leather couches, maple wood tables and unknown artwork adorned the walls. The usual customers came for the peace and quiet but the food was always good. It was my favorite place to be.

As usual there weren't very many people inside. The bartender stood at the counter washing the same glass over and over again. One customer was passed out on one of the tables, and the waitresses were chatting happily. There were also two men talking quietly in a corner.

As I walked in the larger man stood and began to leave. His large boots echoed loudly upon the wooden floor as he walked to the door. I couldn't explain it but for some reason I felt terrified of him. He had pitch black hair that jetted out in almost every direction, and his eyes were a deep blood red color. He was wearing a large black cloak with a hood. As he walked out the door I realized that I hadn't been breathing.

I hastily went over to my usual table in the back corner and ordered my usual, a cup of warm jasmine cha (Basically Jasmine Tea). I hoped that this file might actually reveal something interesting about Tatsu.

Hole in the Wall Café

I looked around the café quickly hoping that Tatsu wasn't here. The same man was passed out on the table, the bartender was still washing the same glass, and the waitresses were now arguing about who would get the night's tips. The man from earlier was now drinking in the back corner.

Although now as I looked at the man, I realized that he was in my class, though he never really showed up for class very often. Vega Daino was by far one of the worst students at Butei High. Not because of his skilled in battle (he was quite proficient at that) but because of his mental stability. He was always too quick to anger to be truly efficient as a Butei.

While I waited for a refill of my tea, I began to wonder what kind of mission Tatsu had failed. Granted he had only chosen high ranked missions, but from his fight with Vlad I just couldn't imagine who or what he had been up against.

"So this is why she was following me."

I almost leaped out of my seat as I realized that Tatsu was now sitting in front of me examining all of the papers. Apparently while I was deep in thought, Tatsu had walked in, noticed me and saw the papers. I fought hard to keep a blush from surfacing.

"So why did you have me investigated?"

All I could do was stare at him blankly. I had no idea of what to say. Besides what are you supposed to say in a situation like that?

"If you're not going to answer me that's fine, but you could at least tell me why she tried to follow me everywhere?"

Again I felt that it was impossible to speak especially since I was trying not to explode from laughing. "Probably her decision…"

"She speaks!" I glared at him. "Sorry it's just that this is first time I've ever heard your voice." He smiled happily. It drove me crazy; the only reaction my mind came up with was to blush and look down as fast as possible.

"Well that worked nicely and yet people call you a robot." His smile was beginning to get irritating.

"Shut up…"

"Oh come on, I didn't want that expression. I wanted you to smile." I glared at him and he held his arms up in surrender. "Fine but seriously why did you have me investigated?"

As I opened my mouth to respond a gunshot sounded and then I heard the roar of thunder and the clang of metal striking metal.

Vega Daino was standing on a table holding a heavily modified .45 magnum special. It was aimed at my head. "Master Gainen's orders were extremely clear; kill the girl, save the boy for another day. He said if I do this he'll grant me even more power Tatsu."

Tatsu stared at him blankly. "Why would you want to kill me?" He was holding his scythe so that the massive blade was between Vega and me.

"Oh good you're here too! That means I won't have to hunt you down!" Something was seriously wrong with Vega. He's always been a hot head but this was ridiculous. I looked at him and saw something that sent a chill though my body. The pupils of his eyes were a dark red color while the whites of his eyes were an endless void of darkness.

"You didn't answer my question."

"That's a simple one! It's because you humiliated me!"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Tatsu actually looked clueless, but then again I had no idea of what was happening either.

"In front of the entire class you fucking hit me! You knocked me out!" He was truly out of his mind.

"Well it seems to me that you've collected quite a few nuts. Are you absolutely sure you want to fight?"

In response Vega fired another round, this one nearly hitting Tatsu only to be deflected again. "Is that a good enough answer?"

Tatsu reached into his cloak and pulled the strangest gun I had ever seen… well actually it looked similar to my new rifle. It was pure black with a long pointed magazine. The oddest thing about the gun was that there was a blade on it. Well not exactly on it… more like it was floating near it, but when Tatsu moved the gun the blade followed the gun. So the blade was part of the gun but not connected to it.

"Very well but remember that you asked for it." Tatsu rammed the scythe into the ground with the blade still between Vega and me. He then pulled out another identical gun and fired a round at Vega's shoulder.

Vega didn't move. The bullet impacted upon his Butei High uniform. The bullet didn't pierce the coat but the force of the impact caused him to jump off of the table. Vega pulled a dagger out of his boot and hurled it at Tatsu.

The blade on Tatsu's gun struck the thrown dagger causing the dagger to fly off to the left. "You're going to have to try harder than that."

In response Vega took something out of his pocket. To my horror, I saw that it was a grenade. He hurled it in my direction, and started firing bullets at Tatsu.

As Tatsu was exchanging bullets with Vega, I brought out my rifle as fast as I could and shot a round at the grenade. The grenade exploded sending shrapnel flying in every direction. Vega flipped a table while Tatsu jumped back landing behind the scythe blade with me.

The waitresses had fled long before and the bartender had dragged the drunken man off at around the same time.

"You ready to give up yet Tatsu?" I couldn't believe how confident he was. He had to be about out of bullets by now.

"What about you?" But then again Tatsu was just as unbelievably confident as well.

'Fat chance!" Vega leaped from behind the table clutching yet another grenade. Fearful of another explosion I hastily shot the grenade, before it had left Vega's hand. The resulting explosion tore off Vega's arm. He screamed in agony and ran out of the café shouting something about getting his revenge.

"Well… that was annoying." Tatsu returned his guns to their concealed holsters and freed his scythe from the floorboards. "Are you alright Reki?"

"Fine…" I looked around the café in misery. The place was in shambles. All the bottles at the bar had been shattered, the majority of the paintings had been destroyed, and nearly all of the tables and couches had become nothing more than splinters.

"Sorry about the mess…" He truly looked sorry.

"Not your fault… it was Vega…"

"Well I'm glad you feel that way." He smiled again only this time I noticed that when his mouth moved so did his scars. It formed a look on his face that looked cute. "You know, we should form a team."

I stared blankly. I honestly had no clue what to say. Part of me wanted to say yes but another part of me didn't trust him.

"I'll tell you what. If you agree then I'll tell you a bit about me that Riko could never find out. If you refuse than you'll never here from me again. So what's your answer?"

Unknown Area

?:?

"Master grant me more power!"

"And why should I? You have failed me miserably today, Vega." Gainen stood before Vega who was nearly on the ground. "All you had to do was to kill the girl and yet you disobey me and attack that boy and get your arm blown off!"

"That doesn't matter; I just want to see the fear in their eyes as I kill them as painfully as possible!"

"You seem pretty confident in yourself Vega. But tell me why should I grant you more power? What have you done to deserve power?"

"Because I have information that you need, information about the renegade."

"And what information would that be Vega?"

"It is as you feared Master; they have met and are growing closer. The gift was given yet she is clueless at the moment."

"Well that information is troubling but it has no effect on my plan in it's current stage…. Very well Vega, I shall grant you your power and a new arm but do not fail me again."

"Thank you master!"

"Prepare to become a true member of the Shadows…"

Sorry that this took so long but it is my longest chapter yet… But I think it turned out great.

The title of this chapter is a reference to Red V.S. Blue which is an online machinima of Halo and I just think it's funny so I decided to use it. I think this chapter is longer than the rest of the story so far combined…

Review if you want more cause it gets kinda aggravating because I don't know what you people think of it therefore I won't know if you want me to continue or not. So now I know how the other authors feel…

Chapter 6 will feature Tatsu's past and possible sparks. I think the next fight seen will be in Chapter 7. So be patient and Review!

Good Bye Peoples!
