GASP. WHAT IS THIS? ANOTHER STORY BY THIS SUCKISH WRITER WHO SHOULD REALLY UPDATE OTHER STORIES?

Why, yes. Yes it is. :'D

First chapters too short. Shorter than I wanted, anyways. Hope you like c:

My expert fingers jimmied the lock with the small barrette in my hands. When I heard a soft but audible click, I quickly slid the drawer out and glanced at was inside. So this was the infamous drug that just came out on the Black Market. Rather pathetic if you ask me. It was just a round, black, and small pill, but the effects were supposed to be enormous. I lifted the entire Zip-Lock baggie filled with them out, carefully putting them in my small satchel that was across my hip. I glanced behind me at the lump in the sheet-covered bed. He was still snoring, so I had nothing to worry about.

I waited a few beats before placing a light pink note inside of the drawer.

Jane died

But no one cried

Because who really cared about Jane?

Gently, I closed the drawer, smiling as the lock clicked in place once more. I lowered the head-microphone so it was in front of my mouth. "Clear?" I whispered.

"It's all clear, Hinamori. Go through the back door, hop the fence and go down to the Headquarters." Kukai's voice crackled through. I nodded to myself once before keeping a firm grip on my bag. I practically flew through the hallways to the glass sliding door that led to the backyard of the house. Silently, I slid it open, stepping through. I closed it behind me.

It was just so much more fun that way.

Quickly, I jumped over the large black fence that kept me from the street. I began to walk as Kukai's voice came through again.

"Sanjo's assuming you've got them?"

"Yeah," I said, taking them out and admiring them. "What the hell are they supposed to do, anyways? The guy had pretty low security on them."

Soon, Kairi came on. I could almost see him sliding his glasses further up on his nose, creating a glare.

"Supposedly, they make you—"

"THEY PROBABLY MAKE YOU SPEW OUT RAINBOWS AND CAKES! THEN THE MUSHRO—"

I heard a loud smack and Kukai's muttering of, "Ow…."

"Anyways," Kairi said. "They allow you to access any world that you want, speak any tongue, and give you the ability to manipulate anyone to your commands."

"Manipulate?" I echoed, questioning ringing in my voice.

"I'll explain it better when you get here."

A large building soon came into my vision. I put the drugs back inside the bag, jogging a bit faster. Part of the contract said that I had to always get back before sunrise or they would send someone after me. I walked into the structure while the automatic doors shut behind me.

I clicked the elevator, hoping to ask Kairi more about this drug. It seemed pretty special. It had better be, for all of the crap I had to go to for it.

I stepped out of the moving platform and quickly walked to the lab that I knew that Kukai and Kairi were in. I tapped in the key-code and the silver door opened. Kairi was standing in front of me, holding out a hand for me to talk.

"Congratulations on a great job, as always, Hinamori-san." I rolled my eyes.

"How many times do I have to say it, Kairi? It's Amu."

"HINAMORI!" A blur of brown rammed into me, crushing me into a tight grip. "I MISSED YOU!"

Immediately, Kairi's hand shot out, grabbed Kukai by the back of his collar, and ripped him off of me. I coughed a few times, attempting to regain my failed breath.

Kairi lifted him up off the ground, staring at him straight in the eye. "Kami-sama help me, Souma-san, if those drugs or Hinamori-san are injured, I'm going to rip off your di—"

Swiftly, I jumped off, waving my hands around. "K-Kairi! I'm fine!" I opened my bag and took out the perfectly safe pills, shoving them in his face. "And so are they!"

The man with glasses grunted, dropping Kukai to the floor and taking the pills from my hand. He glanced up at me. "You're sure you're fine?"

I nodded rapidly. He sighed and took out one of the small drugs, putting it on his scanner and sitting down to his laptop. Kukai stood up from the floor and gently tugged the headset off of me. He grinned, placing it on the counter.

"You did an awesome job today, Hinamori."

I smiled smugly. "I know."

He chuckled and turned to Kairi, who was holding out a pill for him to take. He dropped it into the brown-haired man's hand.

Manipulate anyone to your command…

In a flash, I had the pill that Kukai was going to let fall into his throat. Kairi raised an eyebrow at me and I began to stutter out an explanation.

"I-I…" I swallowed hard. "You said that this will let you manipulate anyone, right?"

Kairi nodded, his eyebrow going higher. "Amu…" He took a step towards me. "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Amu!" a fourteen year old girl with brown pigtails screamed, waving her arms around, smacking the guards that were holding her back. She had tears streamed down her face. She twisted around and slapped one of the men. His expression turned enraged, and he raised a hand—

"You so much as touch a hair on her, and you will die painfully." I said in a monotone. I faced Kazuomi. "If he touches her, I will kill myself."

He nodded and motioned for her to be released. She began to run towards me. Her body slammed into mine and I hugged her crying form. I patted her back as she was wracked with weeping.

Slowly, I put my finger under her chin and lifted up her face. "It's okay, Ami," I said. "It's gonna be alright. But you need to go with Kazuomi, okay? He's going to take care of you."

"B-But I wanna stay with Amu-nee!" she yelled. I gripped her tighter.

"I know, I know you do. But you can't until I do a few favors for him, okay?"

She sniffled a bit and nodded. "O-Okay."

I embraced her once more and let her go. "Be strong, Ami. Be strong."

Once she had left, I fell to my knees. Kazuomi stepped over to me and crouched. "You're crying, you know that right?"

I glanced up to him and felt my face. Salt water was rushing down them.

I silently tilted my head and dropped the pill.
