The Dare Base is dark and deserted. No one was around and not a sound can be heard… at least until a door was opened, creaking on its hinges. A dark figure walked into the base, her footsteps slightly echoing in the emptiness. Then she stopped and produced a remote from her pocket, which she pointed at the ceiling. With one push of a button, the base was illuminated with spotlights that were pointing at the center of the large room, showing a lone microphone stand. Smirking a little, Emotive Gothika walked up to the mic and held it with one hand.

Suddenly, guitar chords could be heard and Emotive began to sing.

Emotive: Listen to the stereo tonight tonight tonight! Hayaku let's play again. (Hurry, let's play again.)

The whole base is suddenly illuminated and everyone is either holding a microphone or playing an instrument.

Everyone: Listen to the stereo tonight tonight tonight! Itsumo kure yo brand new beat. (Always give me a Brand new Beat.)

Tsuna: *smiling brightly* Hey biito wa gutto taito ni. (Hey! The beat is good and tight.)

Hayato: Songuraito wa chotto aironii. (Songwriting is a bit Ironic.)

Takeshi: Sabi chatteru furui kairo ni. (To the old, rusty circuit.)

Ryohei: Totte oki o sashite oiruu puriizu. (Give me the special one, oil please.)

Lambo: Mada tan nee! (It's not enough!)

Mukuro: Kawan nee! (Not going to change!)

Kyouya: Itsu date! (Anytime!)

Reborn: Te ni emooshon! (Emotion in hand!)

Everyone: Listen to the stereo tonight tonight tonight! Heddofon nara sutechimatte mou. (Even if you throw away your headphone!) Listen to the stereo around around around! Hayaku let's play again. (Hurry, let's play again.)

Hayato: *plays the ending piano bit on a piano (duh)*

Everyone claps because the song is awesome and it was a great opening show.

Emotive: *tosses wireless microphone over her shoulder* Yo everyone!

Skull: *gets hit in the head with the mic* Ittai!

Emotive: Welcome to a new Hitman Dares! If you've read the first one, then you know what to do (I still have some rules though) and if you're new, then stay tuned for the rules!

Everyone: *groans*

Emotive: What're you guys whining about?

Boys: We're going to be in various yaoi (read: sex) situations again!

Girls: And we're going to be pushed to the sidelines and/or tortured because you hate het pairings.

Emotive: Well… There's no denying both of your claims. XDDD

Everyone: *thinks* Why must we suffer?

Emotive: *claps hands* ANYWAY! Time for the rules! Ryohei, if you please.

Ryohei: *sitting at the drums* *starts doing a drum roll*

Emotive: Rule number one! Only three dares per person! You heard me; ONLY THREE DARES! Merlin knows what will happen if you exceed the limit…

Tsuna: Merlin?

Hayato: The famous wizard Juudaime. And when did you start talking like that?

Emotive: ^.^ When I became addicted to Drarry… Mmmm… Drarry…

Everyone: -.-;

Emotive: Right, so rule number two!

Ryohei: *drum rolls*

Emotive: No inappropriate dares. That doesn't mean ecchi dares are not allowed (unless its het, I encourage it actually XD). Just don't submit a dare that'll possibly offend anyone.

Everyone: And their dares don't offend us?

Emotive: Your opinions don't count. XP

Everyone: OTZ

Emotive: Now the third rule!

Ryohei: *rolls the drums*

Emotive: -.-; Wrong way Ryohei… Hey that rhymed! :D

Ryohei: ^.^;

Emotive: Okay, third rule… I don't think there is a third rule…

Tsuna: Review?

Emotive: Hmm… yeah I guess. Reviews would be incredibly nice…

Hayato: Enough with this. Why are you making another one? Wasn't the last one enough for you?

Emotive: Weeelll… I've had requests to continue it… a fan even asked if I was going to make one for other series' like Naruto or Bleach. XD

Everyone: Please do and leave us in peace…

Emotive: No, you guys are much more fun. XD

Everyone: *groans*

Emotive: Okay, so concerning the first rule, if anyone submits more then three dares, I will only show the three dares that I like the most while the rest will be ignored. I don't want this to be like last time where I had so many dares that I rushed everything and everyone ignored my "No more dares!" rule…

Hayato: Poor you.~*

Takeshi: Huh? Emo-san, what's that?

Emotive: What's what?

Takeshi: That little sign thing next to Gokudera's words.

Emotive: Oh, you mean this (~*)?

Takeshi: Yeah!

Tsuna: I was wondering about that too...

Hayato: Looks weird and stupid.

Emotive: *pouts* You look weird and stupid…

Hayato: -.-; Real mature.~*

Takeshi: There it is again!

Tsuna: What the heck is that thing?

Emotive: ^.^ It's the Sarcasm Mark! Or the SarcMark for short.

Everyone: Sarc… Mark?

Emotive: Yup. My friend (PiePerson) invented it after I mentioned there was this new mark for sarcasm used in writing.

Hayato: Why didn't you use the original SarcMark instead?

Emotive: Well… I don't think it works here. It only works in a few sites and it doesn't even work on Facebook yet. *pouts*

Hayato: Right~

Emotive: Anyhoo, the reason I'm making this Hitman Dares: The Short Return, is because I need to exercise my writing muscles again. I have come upon a huge writer's block and hopefully doing this will inspire and motivate me a little.

Emotive's Inner Mind Theatre:

Emotive is glaring up at a huge concrete block that has the words "Writer's Block" written on it.

Emotive: Move damnit! *kicks block only to feel pain on toes* Ow ow ow ow ow! *hops about, holding her foot*

Writer's Block: *evil laugh*

Emotive's Inner Mind Theatre Closes:

Emotive: *glaring into space* Stupid block…

Everyone:

Emotive: So, anyone got any questions? Something you didn't understand or what not?

Everyone: *opens mouth*

Emotive: *interrupts* Okay! So now that we're ready, dear readers, submit your dares! The sky's the limit! I strongly encourage yaoi dares!

Boys: *blanches/blushes*

Emotive: And I disapprove of het dares… but they're not banned…

Girls: *smiles*

Emotive: *cringes at the girls* Okay, so now that the introductory chap is done…

Tsuna: *tugs at Emotive's sleeve* Ano… Emo-san?

Emotive: Yes adorable little Tunafish? *starry eyes*

Tsuna: ^.^; Ano, there's someone at the door…

Emotive: Really? *goes to look*

The Shimon family is standing at the door with Enma at the front.

Emotive: *eye twitches*

Enma: We have an invitation. *shows invitation*

Emotive: *takes invitation and reads it* … *eye twitches again* Reborn!

Reborn: *drops onto Emotive's head* What is it?

Emotive: Why did you invite them?

Reborn: Because we're not complete without the new characters.

Emotive: But I don't like them! DX

Shimon family: *offended but doesn't show it*

Emotive: See? Millefiore has more character then those static brats who don't even look like they're supposed to be in middle school! Especially that Kaoru fella!

Kaoru:

Emotive: You freakin' gutted Takeshi alive!

Enma: It wasn't a part of our plan… but it was necessary…

Emotive: *points at Enma* And you! You're the worst of them all!

Enma: *mumbles* How am I the worst…?

Emotive: Ooh… for some reason I can totally imagine you having a mix of TYL Lambo and Spanner's lazy voices…

Enma: *blinks*

Reborn: *kicks Emotive's head* Focus.

Emotive: *cringes* Ow… Well, anyway, you're the worse because you didn't even try to listen to Tsuna! You didn't ask him why he didn't arrive at that spot and even if you did, you probably wouldn't listen to him anyway!

Enma: *blinks again*

Tsuna: I don't understand what you're saying Emo-san…

Reborn: Emo, I suggest you shut up now…

Emotive: I am not going to shut up until I give this bum a piece of my mind! *raging*

Reborn: Shut up now. *jumps off of Emotive's head and hits her on the head with his Leon Thousand pound mallet*

Emotive: *falls to the ground unconscious*

Everyone: *stares at Emotive's limp form*

Emo Clone: *takes Emotive's body and places it on a couch, whistling all the way*

Tsuna: Emo… -san?

Emo Clone: You can call me that, but I'm only a clone that is used for back up at times like these.

Tsuna: Okay…?

Emo Clone: Anyway, just like it was implied, you can now dare the Shimon family! Use this to your advantage all Shimon-haters! Dare (*cough*torture*cough*) them 'til you drop!

Shimon family: *looks a little worried*

Emo Clone: Until then… *takes out Emotive's remote and pushes a button*

There is a loud whirring sound and suddenly the Shimon family is locked in a cage. The cage is then suspended over a pit of lava… where Zakuro happens to be bathing…

Emo Clone: They will be suspended over a pit of lava because Original Emo hates them.

Adelheid: I demand for you to release us at once!

Emo Clone: Shut up! She hates you the most!

Enma: I thought she hated me the most…

Emo Clone: No, she just thinks you're the worst. She hates Adel-bitch the most…

Adelheid: What did you call me?

Emo Clone: You heard me! *shakes fist at her*

Julie: Oh my cute Chrome~ *hearts*

Chrome: *looks uneasy*

Mukuro: Chrome, who is this idiot?

Julie: *glares at Mukuro*

Chrome: He's some guy who stalked me then kidnapped me…

Mukuro: *angry vein while smiling* Kufufu, really now…? *thinks of numerous ways to torture Julie*

Hayato: *glares at Kaoru*

Takeshi: Stop glaring Gokudera or you'll get crow's feet.

Hayato: *looks at Takeshi weirdly* Well… he freakin' gutted you like a pig! How can I not glare?

Takeshi: Maa maa, I'm the one who got gutted, so don't freak out so much okay?

Hayato: *eyes Takeshi* Why do you have your katana unsheathed anyway?

Takeshi: *places katana on shoulders* Oh, no reason. *glances at Kaoru warily*

Emo Clone: *gives one final glare to Adelheid before turning away* Okay, introductory chapter is done. Go on and submit your reviews.

Tsuna: Please? *puppy dog look*

Hayato: Damn you for using Juudaime's cuteness to lure in readers!

Emo Clone: XP Whatever… Anyone realize how perverted the chorus of Listen to the Stereo sound?

Everyone: O.o

Emo Clone: No really, look… "The beat is good and tight." "Give me the special one, oil please." Doesn't that just scream perverted?

Everyone: O.o

Reborn: And we end now…

Ending Song: Run Around by Jason Radford (Woot! Digimon ftw! XD)
