Yami: The Gamer Kage

It took us only a day and a half to reach the capital of the Land of fire. It was called Hono and it was beautiful.

When we came upon it for the first time I actually had to stop myself and gasp. It was like seeing an edo era painting come to life. Buildings built like an edo castle with rooftops reaching at least 20 stories high.

The walls were forty stories high and the gates made out of ironwood. We came upon the entrance and were halted by two guards, both dressed in samurai armor with blades at their side.

"Halt, what business do you have in Hono respected ninja of Konoha?" the gaurd asked.

Ko bowed a little, which we copied, he then spoke, "we are here on a mission for the nobel Socio, he has asked for Konoha's aide in protecting his daughter, we have answered that call."

The man asked to see the mission scroll which Ko produced. He looked it over once before allowing us inside.

The gates opened up to resolve a city so jam packed I thought people would be suffocating themselves, but there was more than enough space for everyone.

The entire city was built upon a hill, with the markets and other commercial builds built near the bottom and around the edges while the bigger houses, or rather castles if you wanted to be technical, rested on the top, with single laned roads being the only way to access them...or roof top.

The people move around, bustling in action. I saw a few ninjas here and there and even detected a couple of high level people hiding behind a few buildings keep an eye on things, but overall the city was amazing.

"Sensei!" Zumo said tugging Ko's hand, "can we try that place for lunch?!" he asked practically drooling as he pointed at a sushi bar.

Ko sighed, "I'm not that rich Zumo."

"Come on! It can't be more than a hundred ryo a plate!" Zumo begged.

Ko sighed, "you don't understand Zumo, you see in the capital, everything is expensive. A single plate there costs around two thousand ryo."

"WHAT?!" Zumo cried out, "that's expensive!"

Ko nodded, "yes, the capital is expensive, very expensive to live in. In fact, the higher you go, the more expensive everything gets. It's just the way it is around here."

Zumo cried, "no! My sushi!"

I chuckled, "come on Zumo, let's go. Maybe the nobel you're going to work for will have something for you to eat."

Begrudgingly Zumo nodded as we made out way up the road. Ko knew where we had to go, so he took the lead, taking us down a long winding road until we finally stopped before a giant set of gates, easily ten feet tall and a gaurd posted at the front armed with a naginata.

Ko gave him the mission scroll and was immediately allowed in. The inside was a japanese style building which was speard wide over. It had four different wings, North, South, East and West with the middle one over six stories tall.

I saw servants moving around from wing to wing, a koi pond near the back and a zen garden besides us as we walked along the stone lined path.

We were quickly greeted by a servant dressed in black armour, who looked very pissed at us. He had a cross shaped scar on his forehead with black hair greying at the temples and a thick beard around his mouth.

Gowa Haridischti, Guardsman

Lv- 25

REP- -10

Wow, he already hates us, that's a nice start. Ko approached the man and bowed, which we also did, "we are from Konoha, here to protect the daughter of the Socio family."

Gowa scoffed, "we ask for protection and they send us children?"

I raised an eyebrow and turned to Ko who just smiled, maining his calm demeanor, "I assure you, my students and I are more than qualified to protect your mistress."

Goaw scoffed, "we'll see about that. Your mission scroll ninja," he demanded. Ko gave it over and the man read it thoroughly. He then turned around and opened the door, "follow me. Master Socio is expecting you."

We walked in, the inside just as lavish as the outside. There were painting hanging on the wall along with various trophy like objects, a samurai mask, a ninja headband from Kumo and a painting that looked like it was made by a chimpanzee, meaning it probably costs over a million Ryo.

We walked into the main building and climbed up to the fourth floor stopping before a closed door. Gowa turned around and looked at us, "stay here," and then knocked, waiting for a moment for permission before entering.

The moment he left China grumbled, "what a fucking prick."

I snorted, "you realise he can still probably hear you right?"

China blushed, "w-what?"

"A protector of his caliber will most certainly be capable of at least that," Ko said with a node.

China's blush turned red, she was about say something when Gowa opened the door and looked at us, his eyes resting on China the longest, "you may enter."

We walked in as Gowa closed the door behind us. The office was lavish as well, the far wall covered with books, at least a thousand displayed proudly and not a spec of dust on them, either he really loves to read or he has a good maid.

"Ah, ninja of Konoha, welcome," sitting before us behind a lavish wooden table was a thin man with a goatee and almost blue like hair. His eyes were light brown and he wore large ornate white robes with blue highlights. His smile seemed nice enough and his face was aged, like he had lead a difficult life.

Dogino Socio, Adviser to the Daimyo

Lv- 18

REP- 20

Woah, 20 REP already? And that didn't include the any bonus!

Ko stepped forward and bowed, "we are at your disposal," we copied our sensei's movements to the letter. I have a feeling I'm going to have to bow a lot.

"Please, stand tall," Dogino nodded. He looked over our mission scroll before looking at our team, particularly China, Zumo and me. He sighed, "tell me jonin Hyuga, your team, are you sure they are up to the task I have asked for?"

Ko nodded, "I assure, my team is more than ready for anything that will be required of us."

Dogino sighed, "that may be true, but their age is still an issue." Okay, I don't like him. I need to impress him, but how? I looked around and immediately spotted another trophy on his wall, but this one was familiar, it was the Fourth's tri pronged kunai. Only this was… off.

I narrowed my eyes to studied it and apparently my lack of focus drew people's attention to me. I felt China elbow me, I turned to her and hissed, "what?"

She motioned over to Ko and Dogino, the former looking disappointed while the latter seem amused.

"I'm filled with confidence already sensei jonin," the man said in a mocking tone.

"I assure you, Yami isn't always so unfocused, we are more than up to the task," Ko said defending me.

Dogino sighed, "yes, you may believe that, but that doesn't change the fact that your ninjas are nothing more than children," he looked to me, "easily distracted children at that."

Okay, not that pisses me off. I stepped up, "I do apologize for that, really, I do," Ko seemed to motion me to step back, but I ignored him, "you see, the reason for that is simple," I pointed at the tri pronged kunai, "I had my attention on that."

"Ah, I see," Dogino smiled and nodded, "my greatest possession, the kunai of the Fourth Hokage. A treasure for sure. I payed quite a lot for that piece."

"You mean you were cheated out of a lot of money for that piece," I corrected him.

Dogino raised an eyebrow, "excuse me?"

I pointed at the kunai, "that kunai is a fake. A badly made one too. They didn't even put in the efforts to make it seem like the real piece."

Dogino snorted, "and how do you know this? Are you a seal master?"

"Kind of," I shrugged, the man rolled his eyes, "but I also have this," I opened my inventory and moved it inside my pocket and selected my tri pronged kunai, drawing it in such a way it seemed like it had been in my pocket the whole time. I held it before the man, "this is the real tri pronged kunai of the Fourth Hokage."

China and Zumo looked shell shocked while Ko just winded his eyes. Even Gowa looked a little startled, his hand going towards his katana.

Dogino blinked, he looked at my kunai and the one he had on display. Even a moron could tell that the seals were different. He looked at me and blinked, "and how can we know that the seals on your kunai are not the fake ones and mine being the genuine article?"

"Because I was given this kunai by the Third Hokage himself, not some shifty looking black market con artist," I twirled the kunai before putting it back into my inventory, seemingly like I sealed it away to everyone else.

"And why would the Third just give you such a valuable, if not historical article?" Dogino asked with a curious look in his eye.

"Because I gave him something much more precious," I told the man, "the cloak Minato Namikaze was wearing the night he died fighting the Kyuubi."

"What?! Where did you find it?! Was there anything else?!" he asked jumping to his feet.

I shrugged, "I just found it in the forests surrounding the village. There wasn't anything else of note," I looked at his disappointed face, "I hope this prove my team and I are more than qualified to protect your daughter. Sir."

I then stepped back, Ko gave me warning side way glance while China and Zumo looked like they had a hundred questions.

"If what you're saying is true then I have a to go see a man about ten million Ryo," Ogino grumbled, he looked at Ko and nodded, "very well, Gowa, show them to their quarters and give them anything they need to set up. You can meet my daughter tonight," and with that his dismissed us.

We bowed and walked out, I looked back to see the man open the case and look at the kauai, grumbling under his breath about some man named Samo.

We walked out and immediately China asked, "why didn't you tell us you had one of the Fourth's kunai?!"

I shrugged, "didn't seem relevant. It's just a good luck charm I carry around."

"You know Yami, since you're pretty good at seals, you can try and figure out how that thing works!" Zumo said with wide eyes, "you could be the second Flash!"

"Yeah right," Gowa snorted, "seals don't work that way kid. You can't just copy it down, you need to make it, from bottom up."

I nodded, "he's right," Zumo deflated hearing that, "but then again, I might just on day try and figure out how this thing works. So who knows."

"Be warned Yami, ninjutsu isn't a skill for the reckless, you need to be taught by a master," Ko warned, "I don't want you even attempting to do anything of the sort without telling, understand?"

I nodded, "I promise, I won't try to learn the Flying Thunder god jutsu without tell you first," I didn't mention that I already knew it. Hehe! Technically for the win! My promise seemed to calm Ko down. China took this chance to drill me about how I came to find the cloak, soon Zumo also gave out questions, but not before informing me how much I sucked for not telling them about my adventures.

Gowa lead up to the North wing where each of us got a room. Kind of lavish and useless, but whatever, as long as I don't have to hear Zumo's snoring I was happy.

I quickly unpacked and readied myself, loading my person with as many weapons and tools I would need, never know when an enemy will attack. I also put my hood up and my mask around my lower face, no need for the girl to feel like I'm a real person, might make her feel like she has to talk to me.

Ko called us all to his room and had us sit down and explained the mission details, "we will each take turns watching over the girl," he said showing a timetable for the day, with each of us taking 6 hour shifts.

"Zumo, your time will be from noon to six in the evening. Yami will watch over her from six till midnight where in I will relieve him. I'll keep watch until six in the morning and China, because she tends to wake up early, will keep watch from six to noon. We will also have training, I've asked Gowa permission to use the grounds behind the residential area. Training for Yami and Zumo will be from eight to eleven, China, I'll teach you after your shift ends. Any questions?"

I raised a hand, "what type of training?"

"Combat," Ko said with an almost sadistic smile. The three of us shivered at the word, combat meant taijutsu, and no one wants to face off against a Hyuga in a taijutsu spar. Lucky Ko allowed us to use ninjutsu, so that was something.

That evening we all walked into the main building and met with Gowa and his men. They gave us a rundown of the entire building's structure. We had five minutes to memories it before they burnt the map, no wonder the Hokage said these guys were paranoid.

After that we were brought into the dining room where we found Dogino sitting at the head of a twenty seater table with only one other person accompanying him.

Ko stopped a good ten feet away and stood at ease, a movement we copied. Immediately Dogino noticed us, "ah, good, right one time. Sweetheart, these are the ninjas I was telling you about."

The girl looked around our age, maybe a year older thanks to her height. She had her father's blue hair, only hers was brighter and put in a traditional knot. She wore spectacles covering a pair of doe brown eyes and a long kimono that covered her arms and legs.

She didn't have any curves, sadly, damn loli, immediately all hopes of me watching over a busty red head fell through...hm, maybe I should visit Rias some time. Yeah...wait, focus!

Moe Socio, Okuta

Lv- 9

REP- -10

Huh, okay, she hates us. Good to know.

Moe looked at us from her meal, her eyes landing on Ko first before gazing over us. She sighed and turned to her father, "father, this really isn't necessary. Gowa is more than capable of taking care of me, as he has been doing for all my life."

Gowa seemed to puff his chest up at this, smiling in victory. Dogino on the other hand sighed, "that may be true Moe, but they will be staying here, just for a little extra protection. I am going to be spending a five months with the Daimyo initiating a new trade deal with Kumo, and there are many...parties that wouldn't like to see such a deal happen. They are just a precaution, that is all."

Moe looked at us, narrowed her eyes at China before scoffing, "fine, if you insist."

The man nodded, "good," he turned to Ko, "I'm assuming you have made your own watch schedule?"

Ko nodded, "yes sir. I'll watch over her from midnight to early morning, likely when any assailant might target her. China," Ko motioned to her, "well keep watch after that followed by Zumo and then finally Yami," he pointed at each of us in turn. "I hope that is satisfactory."

Dogino waved Ko's worry away, "that's fine," his eyes then settled on me, "and as for you young man, I have to say, I was skeptical, but your claim was true. I had a seal master brought in to see the kunai, it was a fake. Thank you for that."

I bowed, "you are welcome sir."

Dogino nodded, "right, everyone leave, I need a moment alone with my daughter." We all bowed and left. Ko and the other's went back to their rooms while I stayed behind, it was after all 8 in the evening.

I stayed by the door and waited, and soon Moe walked out, surrounded by two of Goa's guards. She looked at me and raised an eyebrow, "so your first huh?"

I nodded, "yes. How would you like me to address you? Ms. Socio or madam?"

Moe scoffed, "whatever," she turned and walked away, her guards snorting in laughter as they followed her. I sighed as I followed them. We came upon the East wing, where the entire second floor was just for her.

The guards opened the double door for her as she walked in. I made to move inside as well when she held up a hand, "where do you think you're going?"

"I'm your assigned bodyguard, hence that means I need to be with you at all times," I explained.

"You can't just come into my room!" she cried out.

"Why not?" I asked.

"You're a boy! That's why!" she cried out.

I sighed, "I assure you miss, I am not a pervert or would ever act like that towards you. But that being said I can assure you that you won't even notice I'm there, you can continue to act however you wish."

"And you can't do all that from outside?"

"Ninjas can't see through walls," I told her, "well, my sensei can, so maybe when it's his shift you can ask him to wait outside, but I need to be inside, with you to make sure someone doesn't sneak in."

"Why do you think we are here kid?" one of the guards asked.

"He is right," Moe nodded, "they can protect me from outside, so can you."

I looked at them and then at her, "...very well, but if you are insistent on that at least let me ward your room to alert me if something does happen. That way if anyone other than you ever steps into your room while you're in there I'll know."

She scoffed, "what are you? Some sort of seal master?"

"Yes," was my immediate response.

"Liar," she huffed, "you look like you're thirteen! It takes years to become a seal master!"

"Actually I'm eleven, I graduated early because I'm very smart, I picked up sealing easily," I shrugged, "trust me, I know what I'm doing."

She looked at me and sighed, "fine. Go ahead," she moved aside letting me in.

I looked around, giant soft four poster bed, two shelves on either side filled with books, a table with more books on it and a couple of paintings hanging up on the wall.

I took out a scroll and looked around, there were five windows and one balcony. I took the scroll and tore of piece of paper, quickly scribbling down a seal I had made a long time ago that would detect intruders. I used it for security for my home, people had tried to break in once they learnt Naruto was living there as well.

I placed a seal under each window and one on their hinges. This way, if someone even opens the window I would know and if they somehow step inside the seal under the window worked as a proximity sensor, telling me i they came from outside in and going from the inside to the out.

I also put a couple of warning alarms in the room which I could remote activate, in case the guards outside had to be warned. I placed a few more security seals and hide one small Flying Thunder God seal behind her bed, barely seen.

While I worked Moe had taken up sitting on her bed, observing me. I walked to her and nodded, "it's done. Please don't try and sneak out during the night, that will set off the alarms."

Moe raised an eyebrow, "and why do you think I would do such a thing?"

I shrugged, "just a warning. Good night madam," I bowed before leaving her room standing outside with other guards.

"So shrimp, have you ever killed a man?" the gaurd asked me ten minutes into my watch.

I shook my head, "no."

"Have you ever killed anything?" he asked in a mocking tone.

"Yes, animals."

"Oh? What was it? A big scary rabbit?"

"No, I was given a puppy to raise. I cared for it for five years and when it came time to graduate I was asked to run a kunai down it's throat and skin it."

The guards gawked in horror, blinking at me. Under my mask I smiled, that got them to shut up. Finally. I don't think I could take six hours of them taunting me.

Three months later:

This was a form of punishment, I'm sure of it.

I'm stuck here, in this god forsaken mansion for five fucking months! I want to fucking kill Moe myself just to end the mission early!

There were no natural dungeons anywhere in the city, I know, I checked. The city itself was expensive I could barely buy anything without people wondering how a kid, let alone an orphan, could afford all that. So I was stuck, in the mansion, doing nothing but train with Ko and Zumo, with China on gaurd duty at the time.

But on the plus side, I did level up a few of my skills a few times;

Disturbance style, Lv- 44 (0%)

Akin to a warrior's dance performance, a user of this style is able to rapidly and relentlessly bombard their target with precision, at various angles and locations. This style, comprised of sheer unpredictable movements, can easily catch his opponents off-guard.

DMG- +85 + STR + DEX

Speed- 59% faster

Since I spared with a Hyuga everyday for the past ninety days, obviously my skills improved. Though not by a lot, at least now I could keep my with Ko to some degree, though beating him in Taijutsu is still a loooong way off.

Maintenance, Lv- 28 (30%)

Maintaining something is just as important as owning it.

+45% bonus to all items you maintain (clean, polish oil) for whatever their use is

Bonus lasts for 50 minutes

Since I could do nothing but train I took to making sure every tool I had was keep in tip top condition, meaning regular polishes.

Chakara thread, Lv- 30 (60%)

A concentrated thread of chakra that can be attached to manipulate certain objects.

CP cost- 3 CP per minute per 1 feet

Max length- 270 feet

And finally I also worked on the threads, since they were useful in their own way, mainly helping me control my weapons after I throw them.

After training though I usually had free time from noon to six, when I began my shift. So I did what any person would do, read books and more importantly, I began to write.

I didn't really have time to write, actually sit down and a lot time to write regularly since I began my ninja career. It was usually whenever I gained any free time between missions.

But now, I had a room to myself, meaning some privacy and silence. I also had time and ideas I needed to put down. So I began to write. I finished three books, each taking a month's time.

The first was Harry Potter...yeah, sorry J.K. Rowling. Introducing magic to the ninja world was difficult, but I explained it as a different form of chakra that only certain people could use.

I highlighted several interesting ideas, like Harry's desire to help people and the reason the Blood wars even began. To a world like the Elemental nations, blood was given a lot of importance and I wanted to show them just how stupid that all was.

I finished the first three books, the fourth on it's way. I had contacted Baroma, my editor, and told him to be ready for them the moment I returned to Konoha. He was excited as hell at the prospect of a new book series, he didn't even bother asking what it was about before accepting a seven book deal with me.

So that was how I spent my time here, between guarding the girl and training, time moved pretty quickly. And it was around three weeks into my third month on gaurd duty that something of note happened.

I felt my seal trigger, but only it wasn't because someone was coming inside, but rather that someone was going outside.

Curious, I walked inside and found the room empty. Growing cautious I immediately ran to the balcony and saw a long piece of rope tied around the railing, going down to the ground.

I looked around and immediately spotted her wearing a hood and sneaking around in the bushes, moving towards the gates. I rolled my eyes and leapt off the balcony, landing softly before running for the girl.

She was crouched behind a bush, looking at the gaurd by the gate when I stepped up behind her and cleared my throat, "what exactly are you doing madam?"

"Ep!" she cried out turning around to look at me. Her eyes widening in horror, "what? How?! I was so quiet!"

"You tripped my seals," I told her.

She blinked, "wait...those were real?"

I sighed, "yes, of course they were. Why do you think I made them? For show?"

She nodded, "I thought you just wanted me to think you were keeping me safe. You know, a placebo."

I sighed, "well, sorry to inform you, but I do actually know what I'm doing. And now, that leads me to my next question, what are you doing?"

She looked nervous. She bite her lips and looked around, the guards hadn't noticed us yet. Heh, top notch security my ass.

She sighed, "I-I...please, you have to let me go out tonight!"

I raised an eyebrow, "and why tonight?"

"Be-because," she looked down shyly, "because today's the day the new Stan Lee book comes out!"

I blinked. Okay, I didn't expect that. I figured she was going to meet a boyfriend or something, not this!

"Ah...you're going to sneak out, endanger your life...because of a book?" I asked her.

"It isn't just any book!" she hissed back, "it's Stan Lee's greatest work! My friend got an special preview and she said Batman, Wonder woman, Superman form a team with five other heroes! Five! And they save the entire world! I have to have that book!"

I blinked, I didn't realise people loved it so much. I sighed, "okay, how about this. You stay here and I'll get you a copy, yes?"

"No!" Son of a bitch! "It has to be me. I already paid the book store owner, I have to be one to receive it!"

I rubbed my forehead, "you are so annoying! Can't you just send a servant to pick it up or something?"

"I told you, only I can pick it up! It's a special book! It's too valuable for anyone else to get it!" she argued.

"What makes a book so special you're willing to endanger yourself over it?" I asked.

"It's been signed by Stan Lee himself," she smiled.

I blinked. Did I? No….wait...no, yeah, I have never signed any book ever! Not one! I looked at her, "that's not possible. Stan Lee doesn't do public meetings or signatures."

"Which is why this is so important!" Moe cried out, "it's literally one of a kind! I have to have it," her eyes looked watery, was she going to cry?

Ping!

Quest Alert!

Do you accept?

Y/N?

I felt bad, I couldn't say no to this kid, she' too sweet...no, wait, wrong word. She's too annoying. Yeah, much better. Plus, I need to find out who this person was that has a book that I 'signed'.

"Fine," I told her as I pressed yes, "you can go." she smiled, "but under one condition."

"What's that?" she asked.

"I'm coming with you. No arguments. You do what I say, when I say. Got that?" I told her.

She bite her bottom lip for a moment thinking before sighing and nodding, "fine."

I nodded, "good. Now, what's your plan to get out of here?"

She just shrugged, "I just thought to wait until the guards look away and then making a run for it."

I facepalmed so hard I reduce my own HP by five points. This girl...I sighed, "okay, let me do the sneaking around. You be quiet. Got that?"

She nodded, "right," I then quickly swept her off her feet, carrying her bridal style, "hey!"

"I said be quiet," I hissed making her shut up. I then walked up to the wall and began to climb it using chakra. I leaped from the top, Moe covering her mouth from crying out in shock.

We landed on the other side and I put her down. She turned to me wide eyed, "how did you do that?"

"Special ninja training, now come on. We have only four hours before my sensei begins his shift and trust me when I say he's a lot less understand than me," I motioned her to move.

"Right," Moe covered herself with her hood and walked down the street. I followed her closely, looking out for any hostile forces. Luckily there was only the few odd civilian walking around t eight in the night.

We reached the middle of the village and Move quickly moved into a narrow road. I looked around for attacker and slowly drew out a kunai, just in case. She stopped before a very fancy looking book store, a book made out of gold and black leather displayed in the window.

She then knocked three times and I moved in front of her. "What are you doing?" she asked.

"Making sure the man who answers the door won't try to kill you," I told her.

The door opened, an old man, around fifty maybe, answered it. He had a pencil mustache on his face and regent looking robes. He looked at me and snorted, "what do you want ninja?"

Woah, a ninja, someone who can spew fire and control nature like ti was nothing stood next this guy in the middle of the night and his first response was to look down on me? Damn dude, respect.

Pikaru Bobin, Book store owner

Lv- 12

REP- -10

I moved aside, letting him see Moe, and immediately his face did a complete 180. Hate and disgust was replaced with respect and joy, "my lady Socio! It is an honour to see you! Come, come, you're just in time. I just received it today!"

Moe smiled as she walked in, I closely followed, closing the door behind us.

Moe dropped her hood and looked around, "how has business been Mr. Bobin?"

"Oh you know, the good noble of this city have sharp wits about them from reading so much. I'm doing quite well thank you very much for asking madam," the man ducked behind his billing counter and took out a book wrapped in brown paper and thread, "and here it is, Stan Lee's newest masterpiece, and from what I hear, it's also his greatest!"

He handed it over to Moe who took it with a distracted look in her eyes. Her fingers moved quickly, ripping the thread apart and then tearing the brown paper revealing the book inside.

It was around a thousand pages, yes, I had to write that much to fit the entire plot in it. The cover had the picture of eight figures, their silhouettes dark against the rising sun. The words 'Justice League: The Beginning' written below with my pen name above.

She quickly opened the book, the fresh paper smell hitting me hard. And there, in black ink, was a dedication. 'To Moe Socio, keep reading and grow to be a wonderful lady. Signed, Stan Lee.'

It was sweet, really, it was. Only thing is, I didn't sign it.

"It amazing," Moe said as she hugged the book to her chest, "thank you for getting him to sign it for me Mr. Bobin."

The old book seller smiled, "it was my pleasure miss. I know how much you like his work, once I told him how much of an avid fan you were he couldn't say no!"

"Did you meet him?" she asked looking amazed, "what kind of man was he?"

The old book store owner smiled, "he was wise beyond his years. An older gentleman, around my age. He wore a black and green kimono and his fingers were stained with ink, almost like he couldn't bring himself to rub it off. He had a big smile, though sometimes I could see pain behind it. He was a ninja, I think. Retired. I asked him why and he said many things happened to him during his long life, his experience were what he wrote down in his book, hoping that one day the world will learn to love, rather than hate."

I felt my eyebrow twitch as rage built inside me. THI FUCKING SACK OF SHIT! ARGHH! He's using my name to rip this girl off?! FUCK YOU!

"He sounds amazing," Moe said looking star struck, "do you..do you think I can meet him?"

Bobin sighed, "I'm sorry madam Socio, I asked him, but he doesn't wish to see anyone. The only reason I gained access to him was because I knew his publisher and asked for a few favours. I'm sorry, but you must understand, the man wishes for peace and to not be disturbed in his final days. He's happy knowing that his work is loved by people like you."

Yup. I'm going to kill him. I'm actually going to kill him. Well.., obviously not. I can't do it in front of her. Damn it.

"Amazing," she said looking at the book before her. He quickly turned to the first chapter and smiled reading the thoughts of Batman and his explanation was being in a secret government facility.

"Ah hem," Bobin cleared his throat, "there is of course the small matter of my payment madam."

Moe looked up, "what? Oh, yes, I'm sorry, I got distracted," she smiled reached into her robes to pull out wad of bills. Around...ten thousand ryo?! Shit, for that much money I would sign it myself!

"Understandable," he smiled as he took the money and put it away, "after all his words do h
