Katsumi sat in the plane, taking in her view of York New. The city lights were always a sight compared to whenever she went home. Her home was always dark and desolate... mostly cause who was really going to place lights in a mountain?


Kagome wasn't even going to be home for another week or two, mostly because she wanted to attend the auction and seek more clients. It was generally a good idea, but Katsumi was never interested in attending.


Instead, Katsumi went and did her usual work she did for money. On one occasion, her client had gotten himself killed even after she had killed her target. Katsumi hated walking away without pay, as with any assassin. So she just took one of his belongings... and then got Milluki to pawn for cash.


Katsumi simply lay in her room, attempting to start organizing her finances. But she wasn't moving. She wasn't even moving when it came to her phone ringing with text and phone calls.


Then a knock came to the door.


"What grandpa?" Katsumi answered lazily. She didn't want to get up.

"Stupid girl, is your phone broken?" Zeno asked with a peculiar look.

"No. But you're welcome to buy me a new one." Katsumi smirked.

"Tch." Zeno almost laughed. "Don't be stupid. Now, you have a phone call. Go answer it before I decide to hang up."

"Fine." She replied, and then walked out of her room.


"Hello?" Katsumi replied on the phone.

"Oh, Katsumi." That usual sultry voice answered.

"Ah, Chrollo. Didn't I see you just a few days ago?" Katsumi smiled into the phone, Zeno just a few steps away. He knew of Katsumi's feelings towards Chrollo, and was a little surprised to be told that her suitor was a magician who dressed like a jester.

"You did. But I would like to take you on a date again." Chrollo replied.

"And where would you like to take me this time, Chrollo?"

"Would you care to accompany to the place where we had our second rendezvous?"

"Of course, I enjoyed that place very much. When would you like to go out?"

"The next available time you're free."

"Then make sure you're free, I'll be coming soon." Katsumi answered, and then ended the phone call.

"I suppose you're going out again." Zeno commented, still curious onto her relationship with Chrollo.

"I'll be back after this job." Katsumi replied. And left the room to get ready.


Zeno shook his head. His granddaughter was a pretty one, but she was also kind of dense. And wondered if she actually agreed to a job, or a date.


What a waste of money. I just left Yorknew, now I have to go back.
