*Hanz stops the car*
"Sir, we have arrived at the safehouse"
*Kei nods to Hanz and opens the door*
. . . wow
*Kei stops midway getting out, in awe of the safehouse*
that is quite impressive
*Miku gives him a light push and jumps out of the car*
"Jeez, Oni-san, what are you doing? you're always telling me to quickly get out of the car and-"
*She stops halfway through her sentence after seeing the size of the safehouse*

The safehouse is an old fashioned samurai-esque compound dating back to the Edo period preserved and reinforced.



Well then, lets go check out inside
*Kei and Miku go and check out inside the compound and Hanz procedes to park the Pindad inside*
"Wow, this place is so cool."
*Kei nods and gives an affirmive hum as he looks around*
This place is incredible
*he looks over to a plain field by two small huts*
That could make for a good training ground

*Hanz unloads the suitcases and Kei comes to help*
Here Hanz, I'll take that one
*Kei points over to the special luggage bag and Hanz gives a nod as he hands it over*

*coming out of one of the small huts, Ki claps his hands clean*
whew, guess we're done with the unpacking, lets wait for the others to get here
*Hanz nods and Miku smiles and raises her hand in agreement*

*the Detonator arrives at the Oriental safehouse and parks it in the garage nearby, next to a Pindad*

Looks like Kei's already here. Come on, Raider, let's unload everything.

*Raider slowly nods and gets out of the car to unload their bags, all the while having a flabbergasted expression on his face*

Oh come on, the place isn't THAT fancy. Although there is an interesting tale behind it. Let's go.

*Art drags Raider across to the main building*

Kei?! You here?!

*looks around*

Hmmm...where could they be?

*as Raider remains stupefied, Art leaves him with the bags and goes to the huts to find Kei*

((Rewrite: Raider uses bitching! It's too late olololol. It's not very effective... On that note I am -not- deleting mine.))

*A few hours of driving through the streets of Kyoto (and Art getting lost for a few minutes) later and we too arrive at the edo period mansion.*

Art... You have got to be shitting me. You sure it's not that shack back there, with the pigs walking around?

"Kei?! You here?!"
*Kei looks back to the door hearing Art's voice*
Hmm, looks like Art and Raider finally made it. . .
*stacking the last rifle on the shelf and gets up and stretches*
That seems to be the last of the weapons, better go say hi to Art

*Walking out the door, he raises his hand over his eyes at the brightness of the sun*
ugh, was I in there that long?
*spotting Art he raises his other arm and waves*
Yo Art, glad you finally got here, come over here I got something to show you
*he waves his hands in a way to signal Art to come to where he is and starts to walk towards the same hut*

((Might wanna update that. We're already here. :) ))

*sees Kei and starts walking with him to the same hut*

You got a lot of guts, you know that, you snotty little bastard? Nonetheless, glad to see you're OK.

Two things: Are you curious about this place, and what do you wanna show me?

((yeah, my first sentence was totally ineligible >.>))

You know guys. You'd better keep a low profile if you want to see this place whole in a few months. I know how you are afterall. It'd be a bitch to have to call carpenters to fix this place because of a gone wrong grenade.

Yeah, yeah, we'll be careful. This ain't your typical Edo period mansion. ;)

Nifty story behind it, actually. Anyone wanna hear it?

*laughs at Art's teasing*
well, while I was waiting for you, I decided to set up a training field/firing range over here
*points to a field with a round empty patch of ground and a few shooting targets*
and over in this hut is where I'm storing most of our munitions and arsenal
*turns on light to reveal shelves and shelves of firearms, traditional swords and other equipment*
it's nothing compared to our base in Greece thats for sure but, it'll do

*raises hand and turns his head a bit*
no, theres no need. I better go check on Miku
*walks off to the main house in compound*

Nothing compa-that's why I wanna tell the story.

*follows Kei to the main compound*

Get this. While I was still going solo, I ended up saving this guy's life. It was no big deal, really. Just got him out of the way of a car. But the guy was eternally grateful. And I'm quoting him too. Never saw or got in touch with him after that, until one day. I get a phone call saying the guy died of a heart attack. Went to his will reading where I get the real shocker.

Apparently, I had saved Taketo Kuzuki, the head of one of the biggest crime families in Japan. Of course, that was a long time back, before the Kuzuki family got dissolved. This house is still alive, though, because the old man had relinquished it COMPLETELY to me. He cut all ties he had to this place and dropped them onto my shoulders.

By the time the Kuzuki died, I cleared all debts this had and made it completely mine. This is more than just a safehouse. It's practically a second home to me, however rarely I visit it.

Long story short...

*Kei and Art now stand in front of the main compound*

Don't underestimate this place, is all I'm saying.

EDIT: One last thing. this Miku girl doesn't have green hair and sings in a squeaky voice, does she?

*Kei nods along to the story*
mhm, fascinating
*stopping at the main house and Art asks*
"One last thing. this Miku girl doesn't have green hair and sings in a squeaky voice, does she?"
*Kei laughs*
No, she's nothing like Hatsune-san, although she does like to sing sometimes. . .
*Kei blanks out for a while before shaking it off and walking in*
Yo, Miku-chan, guess who-
*a pillow flies at Kei and sofly hits his face*
"Ah, Oni-san, stop calling me that, you know how embarrasing it is to me"

Miku Kusakabe, a young girl who I found on the streets a few years back and adopted, she at first ignored me and was acting real tsundere (without the dere). Well, long story short, she treats me like a real older brother and I've taught her a lot when it comes to killing with a weapon.


*Kei laughs as he catches the pillow after it falls off from his face*
sorry, but its too fun to stop. Anyway I'd like you to meet one of my friends, Art
*Kei points over to Art*

((I'm gonna have dinner now, I'll reply in 10-20 minutes))

*looks at Kei's little "sister"

Hey there, Miku. I'm Art. :)

*gently tries to pat her head*

*Raider claims the secondary bedroom in the building complex, imagining he would be kicked out of the master bedroom by either Kei or Art as they both have more claims to it. (Superior, owner of the place)

((Edit: You are SO losing your hand xD))

((She has no reason to hurt me so much since I didn't call her Miku-CHAN.))

... *arrives at Tokyo*

where the hell am I?

Lemme check where Sanada is.

*calls Sanada*

Hey, yeah. Where are you? We're already he-what? What?! WHAT?!

NO, YOU IDIOT! KYOTO! NOT TOKYO! YOU'RE IN THE WRONG CITY!

*ends the call in frustration*

... Looks like I'm having a small fever (IRL as well ._.)
*meets two students at his way
*ehm* Excuse me, where's the station?
*few seconds later*


*goes to the station

"Eep!"
*Miku hides behind Kei*
Oy, don't be rude, just shake his hand or something
*She peeks out from behind Kei and slowly offers her hand*
"N-nice to meet you"

*Kei laughs a bit*
Well aren't you two getting along nicely
*Kei smiles nervously and thinks to himself*
(Man, how many times might this happen? hope she's less shy when I introduce her to the rest)

Kyoto, the anagram lover's Tokyo

((What? >_>))

EDIT: It's OK. I don't bite.

*kneels down on one knee and continues talking to her*

Kei said you're quite the gun-lover. Lemme show you something.

*takes out his 500*



Bet you've never seen this bad boy before. :)

((Eh? be more specific. . . *burst out laughing and then punches wall for no reason* that was IRL))

*offers gun to Miku*

You wanna test it out? Careful, it's got a nasty recoil.
