Dance in Sin City
Disclaimer: I own nothing here, tis a shame, the only thing I own is the plot.
Sorry for not updating more recently. The day I uploaded the last chapter, my glasses broke and I had to wait until this week to get my new ones in. Then I had to adjust to the new prescription.
Chapter 2
Appearing in a large room, Nabiki sighed and sat on the couch, which was large enough for eight people with ease. "What a day." She couldn't believe it went so well. "Still..."
She looked up at the large tv, which took up the entire wall as it lit up with various screens showing the same person on it. "You're going to be a problem." She whispered and shook her head. "I am not old enough to do this to them."
If they accepted, and Nabiki was sure that at least two of the girls would accept, they were going to suffer. "Still, I have other..." Nabiki trailed off as she heard a beeping at the door and turned off the screen. "Enter." She said as she stood up and the door opened, revealing four rather gorgeous women.
The four of them were dressed in various casual clothing. The first was a woman with a voluptuous figure who wore a black business skirt and a white, long-sleeved shirt that was rather conservative. "I am Asagi Igawa." She said with a bow. Her dark-blue hair was long, reaching down to just above her butt, her eyes were teal in color and she had an aura of being stern and reliable.
"Oooh!" The girl who wore school uniform and had darkened skin and long, brown hair that went to her knees waved her hands. Unlike the other three women who had walked in, she was very flat-chested. Her eyes were a red and purple mix that was unusual, even for Nabiki, who was used to seeing people with purple eyes. "My name is Yukikaze Mizuki." Unlike the other three, Yukikaze had a far more petite body. "Before you ask," she winked and wagged a finger at Nabiki, "I'm not black, I just have a permanent tan."
"She's not wrong." Asagi said with a sigh, "she has tan lines."
"You didn't need to tell her that." Yukikaze said angrily. "It's just that people in Japan look down on you if you're not pure Japanese. I've had people question if I'm pure Japanese and some think that I'm either black or half-black. I just wanted to clear the air."
"That's unfortunately very common in the world." Nabiki shook her head. "But don't worry about it with me. Your skin could be purple for all I care. I just want results and reliable workers." She looked at the last two. "Sorry, I knew there was four people coming, but I didn't get your names."
"That's fine." The woman with short, blonde hair waved her hands. Her blue eyes shimmered in amusement. "My name is Sakura Igawa, Asagi's younger sister." She was wearing thigh-high stockings, a black skirt and a brown vest over a cream-colored long-sleeved shirt. Much like Asagi, she had large breasts and thighs.
"My name is Murasaki Yatsu." The final woman had long, blue hair that was done in a princess-style cut, allowing her side bangs to reach to her large breasts while she kept the rest of her hair tied up in a loose ponytail. Despite this, her hair went all the way to her butt. She had blue eyes as well and was dressed in a black stockings that went up under a white skirt. She had a black tube top and she wore a white dress coat over her shoulders. "Thank you for your time."
"Don't mention it." Nabiki said with a nod. "I am in need of some ninjas."
"Oh good." Sakura said with relief. "I don't like dancing around the issue of what we do for a living for prospective employers."
Murasaki looked around the room and a confused look came over her face as she saw a rather dark corner before shaking it off and looking at Nabiki. "May I ask why you're hiring us?"
"Yes. Please, ladies," Nabiki said and gestured towards the couch as she moves the stroller to the side. "Have a seat."
"Is that your child?" Yukikaze asked as she peered at the stroller.
Nabiki smiled and nodded. "Yes, my son. You can coo over him after the meeting."
The tanned girl nodded and plopped down on the couch.
"Miss Nabiki," Murasaki began after she, Sakura and Asagi all sat on the couch, "why did you ask to hire us?"
"It's very simple. I am in need of your services." Nabiki told them. "I am going to be opening a casino and hotel in Las Vegas soon."
"That… Seems normal." Sakura muttered and Nabiki nodded.
"Extremely normal."
"It's a front, isn't it?" Asagi asked and Nabiki nodded again.
"I plan on having a location where beings such as Devils, Demons and other non-humans can mingle with people with the express purpose of taking over the city."
"And what about the regular people?" Yukikaze asked.
"Their lives won't be affected." Nabiki told her. "Or at least, not much. As far as the city goes, normal people will live there and rule the city. But I'll be the one in charge from the shadows. Which is why i want a city where normal humans can live in peace with the supernatural."
Murasaki crossed her shapely legs and frowned in thought. "But many Demons and other non-humans don't see humans as anything more than prey."
"I know." Nabiki nodded at her. "That's why I need your help. I need a police force to deal with them."
"Just us four?" Asagi asked.
"Of course not." Nabiki shook her head and nodded at the corner of the room as another person walked out of a corner that had been covered in shadow. "Meet Ai Kagano."
The young woman that had been standing against the corner had short blue hair and red eyes and she was wearing a light blue business suit. Her breasts, unlike three of the ninja girls, were rather modest and bigger than Yukikaze's breasts. She had thigh-high stockings that went from her feet up her legs, stopping just before her skirt and leaving half of her thighs fully exposed, though it did leave the garter belt straps that held her socks up exposed.
"I thought there was someone in the corner." Murasaki muttered.
Ai smirked slightly. "Looks like I need to work on my stealth then."
"Ai here is a magical girl." Nabiki explained. "She already agreed to work with me."
"Your help with the Yuragi last year was too valuable, Nabiki-sama." Ai said with a nod as she practically slid over to the couch.
Nabiki nodded with a small smile. "It was mere coincidence that I was in the area, nothing more. Anyway, I'm hoping to have anywhere from two to nine more magical girls join us."
"This isn't a fight of just pure power, huh?" Yukikaze asked and Nabiki shook her head before she snapped her fingers and the big television turned on.
"For the past twenty months, I've been tracking this woman." Nabiki said as a screen turned on, revealing a woman in her early twenties with bright pink hair that was cut short, save for a long, thin ponytail coming off the back of her head. She wore a black body suit that clung to her body, showing off her curves, including her large bust and thighs. She was covered in blood and laughing as she killed people on the screen.
"OBORO?!" The other women, other than Ai, screamed in shock and disgust.
Nabiki nodded. "Yes. Sadly, she's hard to track down." She saw Asagi glaring at the screen. "Something you want to let me know?"
"I swear I killed her eight years ago. I cut her head off and ripped out her heart myself."
"If it makes you feel better," Nabiki told her, "you did kill her. This is a clone. She was brought back to life a little over two years ago." Nabiki had a grim look on her face as she showed them images of Oboro. "It seems that she got some augmentation along the way. Cybernetics and something else…" Nabiki trailed off as the screen showed Oboro fighting some sort of magic user and laughing at the spells as they did minimal damage to her.
"Hahaha haha! Is that all you've got? Come on! Ever since I was revived no one can hurt me!"
Nabiki shook her head. "Whatever was done to her makes her highly resistant to magic, allows her to heal quickly and gave her a weird tattoo on her body."
Oboro's sadistic grin filled the screen as she killed several people with ease. "If that's all the magic power you've got, I'll eclipse all of you with ease!"
"You don't even need to ask." Asagi said, "we'll help you against her."
"Thank you." Nabiki said with a nod. "But there are others you need to worry about." She snapped her fingers and two people appeared on screen. "Edwin Black, a vampire." A tall man in a black suit with short, gray hair that was slid up and backwards. "He's a primal vampire, one of the stronger ones too, capable of wandering around in daylight."
How Jedah had missed this one, Nabiki wasn't sure. But he hadn't been in Translvania when Jedah turned most of the Vampires in the world into soul containers in his attempt to reset the world.
"He's working with this Hell Knight..." Nabiki continued as she focused on a dark-skinned woman with pink hair and eyes with very large breasts who wore a revealing black outfit and cape. "She's dangerous and powerful. I'm not sure what to think of these two." She rubbed the bridge of her nose and sighed as the screen turned off. "I'm not sure about them. I just know that they'll all be in Las Vegas within the next six months and I need your help to deal with them."
Nabiki didn't know why they were going to be in Las Vegas, for some reason her ability to scry them was limited. "However, it will take some time. While I have the permits for the casino and hotel done, I have to have the building built." Which, thanks to her connections, wouldn't take as long as it would for normal people. "The top few floors will be set up for you and your co-workers. The top floor will be my personal office and apartment."
"Let me guess," Murasaki said with amusement in her blue eyes, "there's only one way in, and that's the elevator?"
"Of course." Nabiki grinned at her. "After all, it's standard for bad guys and I'm evil itself."
Ai snorted upon hearing that, she knew that Nabiki was a Devil. "Nah, you're just a corrupt CEO."
Yukikaze looked at Sakura, Asagi and Murasaki as they looked confused. "...I don't think she's that evil."

Meanwhile in Juuban...
Haruka and Michiru looked at Setsuna, who was calmly sipping tea. "Well?" Haruka asked and Setsuna shook her head. "Aren't you the least bit concerned that the person who offered us a job is a literal Devil from Hell?"
"Not especially." Setsuna told her. "Before you say anything, I've dealt with Devils many times. The recent generations simply desire getting stronger to show off against each other and make deals with humans for money or items, nothing more." She gave Haruka and Michiru a small smirk. "I actually hired a Devil to give me massages and cook me food whenever I was feeling overwhelmed from work." She sighed at their looks of surprise. "Mr. Kiba was quite a looker. It was disappointing when he was turned into a girl. She was still really pretty."
"...You worked... With Devils before?" Michiru asked and Setsuna nodded.
"Yes." Setsuna sighed at their staring. "Why do you think I wasn't suffering headaches?"
"I... Had wondered about that." Haruka muttered, remembering how Setsuna often complained about headaches. "I kind of thought you just found a powerful pain reliever."
Setsuna laughed softly. "There's not a drug strong enough to compare to a good massage." Setsuna smiled as she thought to her sessions with Kiba. "He was also very polite and a perfect gentleman." Setsuna had, at one point, looked into Kiba's life and was dismayed to see how he had become a Devil. "In the end, Mr. Kiba had a hard life and I hope that he's happier as a girl now."
"That's... Confusing." Michiru shook her head. "Then again, if we hadn't dealt with the Starlights, I don't think I'd be able to wrap my mind around it so easily."
"Yes." Setsuna nodded. "I need to ask Miss Saotome about some stuff."
"Setsuna?" Haruka began. "What do you mean?"
"There's something I was never able to figure out, even with the Time Gates, and I wonder if someone who has omniscience can finally answer that question."
Setsuna got up and walked to her room, not answering the question they had.
After all, finding out what caused the Great Freeze was something that she had yet to figure out.
Even if she couldn't stop it, she could at least mitigate the damages and hopefully help save more lives than what was supposed to happen.
'Better to work with a Devil than to let billions of people die.' Setsuna thought to herself.
End Chapter 2
If you don't know, Asagi, Murasaki, Yukikaze and Sakura are from the Taimanin series. I'm going to cover it in more of a "broad strokes" kind of thing, since there's lots of stuff that happens in that franchise and, really, I'm kind of confused on the whole thing. Ai Kagano is from Mahou Shoujo Ai. If you know those series/franchises, you know what to expect coming up.
