"Have fun Neku." Joshua spoke, smirking slightly as he pulled out his phone, already beginning to take the photos that targeted for him.

Neku sighed, jumping backwards as a Grizzly Noise clawed at him, forcing him to jump to the side to avoid the Wolf now dashing at him. From the corner of his eye, he saw a stall seeming to suddenly jump onto a group of Noise, crushing them. Avoiding the Wolf again, he noticed the Rhino Noise bearing down on Joshua and grabbed his new pin, activating the Psyche and watching a huge burst of lightning emerge from his hand, cutting into a large group of Noise and erasing them. He smirked, then used the Psychokinesis pin he had to throw the Grizzly still attacking him into a group of smaller Noise, crushing them. The room was filled with the sound of static.

Joshua was faring a little better, although he had taken to levitating after he realized how close some of the Frogs were getting. He pressed a few more buttons on his phone with one find, sending more objects flying at the Noise. His other hand was busy sending beams of light down on the Noise, dealing a lot of damage. He didn't, however, notice the Rhino that Neku thought he'd erased come up behind him, putting down its head in preparation of attack.

"Joshua!" Neku shouted, using his Lightning Rook pin again to damage a group of stronger Noise. "Behind you!"

"Huh?" Joshua turned just in time. The blade on the helmet missed him, but he was knocked from the sky nevertheless. He winced, pulling himself up just in time to avoid the Rhino Noise's hooves as they slammed down. "Thanks Neku!" He called, wrenching a post from the ground and sending it flying at the rhino Noise, erasing it this time.

The fight continued, now more easily. Neku used the two pins he had to deal as much damage as he could, dodging attacks until he could guarantee the most use of a pin. Joshua hovered above the floor, back to a wall this time, as he continued his two-handed assault on the noise surrounding him.

It wasn't long before the Noise around Joshua were mostly erased, and those attacking Neku abandoned him and started focusing on the Composer. Neku took this opportunity, Joshua noticing and erasing the Noise that would be left over. Neku quickly got into place and used his Thunder Rook pin, the bolt of energy cutting through the Noise that were lined up in front of him, erasing many and weakening the rest. It wasn't long before those Noise too had been erased.

"That was simple." Joshua commented as Neku pulled out the Cure Drink pin in his pocket. "I expected to build up more of a sweat."

Neku used the pin, it turning into a can and taking a drink, throwing the can to Joshua as it returned to pin form. "You call that simple?"

"Well considering what I just came back from, this was easy." Joshua commented nonchalantly. The two began to walk towards the exit.

"And where were you?" Neku asked, looking to the Composer as he took a drink.

"Peru. But that's not really important." Joshua spoke, throwing the pin back to Neku. "What is important is that somebody wants to take over as Composer."

"And you can't take that person out because…"

"Because she's already taken over the UG of Shibuya." Joshua replied. "She's really an unofficial Composer now. I guess Natsuki got a little power mad." He added with a sigh.

"Natsuki?"

"My new Conductor." Joshua replied. "She was a promising Reaper. She was perfect for the job. At least, I thought so."

"Then she tried to kill you."

"Yes. I fled here, but she followed me, I guess."

"One question." Neku spoke. "How are there Noise in the RG?"

"Haven't a clue." Joshua replied. "I'd guess it's something to do with her powers as a Reaper. Teleportation is a difficult trick to master, but she managed it. It wouldn't surprise me if that's how."

"So what do you plan to do about this?" Neku asked, eyebrow raising slightly.

"I'll hide for a while." Joshua shrugged. "I plan on erasing her in the near future, if Hanekoma's report doesn't get a response at least. After all, even Reapers have laws. They're dispensed by people higher up than me."

The two reached the doors, walking out. There were a group of people in uniform gathered outside, and once they saw the two of them they were forced out of the general area of the building. After a little wandering, the two eventually found the Host Club, watching for any sign of Neku.

The two teens walked up to them unnoticed, and Neku took the opportunity to whisper sinisterly in Tamaki's ear. "Die…" To say Tamaki was shocked was an understatement. He jumped into the arms of the person next to him, squealing that he didn't want to die. Unfortunately for Tamaki, that was Kyouya, who promptly dropped him. Neku smirked slightly, and Joshua chuckled.

"You're back." Hikaru commented idly, sounding a little bored. And with maybe a touch of envy, knowing he could never mastermind a plot like a stampede in a shopping center. Unless maybe…Hmm…

"Yes." Neku replied.

"Who's that?" Kaoru asked, looking at Joshua curiously.

"A friend from Shibuya." Neku replied. "Joshua, meet the Host Club."

"Ooh, so you're in a Host Club, are you Neku?" Neku resisted the urge to punch him. "Maybe I should visit some time. It's not like you to try to get attention." He mock-gasped. "I wonder what Shiki would think…"

"I'm already regretting introducing you to them." Neku sighed.

"What do you like most Joshua?" Hunny suddenly asked, distracting Neku from his annoyance.

"Cats." Joshua replied. "They don't really like me much though." He looked pointedly at Neku.

"That was one time!" Neku shouted, piping the Host's attention.

"… What?" Haruhi asked, confused.

"Something I want to forget." Neku spoke, covering Joshua's mouth. "If you're going to keep talking about this, I'm heading home." He added, his face sinking slightly into his collar.

"Neku! Wait!" Tamaki shouted. Neku sighed and turned.

"What?" He asked, irritated.

"The drivers have already left. You don't have their numbers." Tamaki replied as Haruhi sighed, mumbling under her breath.

Neku growled slightly, but headed back to the group, his hand in his pocket playing with one of his pins, so tempted to use it. He looked at Joshua, and shook his head lightly, realizing something. Something that made him smirk and forget about electrocuting Tamaki.

Joshua owes me a debt…

And there is chapter four. And man, I had a tough time writing this because the laptop I'm using has a terrible space bar. I just ended up ignoring it. And now most of what I've written has red lines under it. Time to go correct my spelling…

And that's done. And the spacebar is now behaving itself. It seems…

Anyway, I enjoyed writing this chapter. I've left a few things open, and I'm sure you guys know which will be the main point of the story. Although a couple are going to be mentioned a couple of times.

At any rate, see you guys in the next chapter. Enjoy yourselves!

NOTE:

Frog – Dixiefrog

Wolf – Garage Wolf

Grizzly – Mosh Grizzly

Rhino – House Rhino

I'm keeping it simple, and not including the other species. Since there are quite a few. If I say Frog Noise, I usually mean Dixiefrog.
