Preparation

"Shiranui, Zenin, Fumeiyo, and finally Nanaya. These four families first came together in order to hunt supernatural and mixed bloods that disturbed order. When these four came together for this common goal, the Demon Hunter Organization was formed."

While Olivia was walking Megumi and Shiki out of the train station, she began to explain to them how the Demon Hunter Organization's head families functioned since this was something she looked into for her investigation. As they were walking, Olivia was also walking them to a building on the outskirts of town.

"As you all probably know, in order to even get inside this branch, certain requirements are to be met. First, I give you permission to enter the facility. The second, you are A or B-Rank Executioners that are required to go through initiation or training. The final way to get in is the most dangerous one since even I have no authority to apprehend it."

"Does it involve the head families of the Demon Hunter Organization" Megumi asked Olivia with an analytical look on her face.

"Yes. The last way to get in is that a member from one of the four families or an S-Rank Executioner are gave you permission or they come to visit themselves. They alone have high enough clearance to come and go as they please without my permission since they rank higher than me. I was out on a mission, so no one could get permission from me at the time Asuramaru was stolen. Plus you two are the only Executioners in months that came to me for training and helping me. So that leaves only one possibility in mind.....someone amongst the S-Ranked Executioners or the four families is a traitor."

As Olivia said this, her and the two executioners behind her stood before a tall building, resembling a skyscraper as the group was walking through the entrance. After showing a security guard their ID's, Olivia turned towards Megumi and Shiki.

"You two must be tired from the train ride here. We'll continue this conversation later, you two can go rest in the sleeping quarters for now. I'll also be looking over the video security footage again to see if I missed anything. After that, we'll discuss what our next move should be. But before that, Koritsu Shiki, can I see your ID for a moment?"

"Huh? Sure thing" Shiki responded as he gave his ID card to Olivia. The moment the girl looked at it, she couldn't contain the look of shock in her eyes. She already knew about Shiki's situation from Shiranui, however, what she wasn't prepared for was the boy's rank.

"My theory and now a new recruit who is higher ranked than me appears. There are only two S-Ranked Executioners, Ochita and Shiranui themselves. Three, if we count the exiled Koritsu Ayumu and now this happens. Not to mention.....this kid in front of me is the bastard that killed my dad. Just what the hell is going on?"

~Nighttime~
Three guys were seen exiting out a bar as they roamed the streets of Tokyo. While they were walking, Naoya was seen walking down the street with a bored expression on his face. As the next head of the Zenin clan walked by the drunk men, one of them bumped his shoulder as he suddenly turned around and punched the man responsible in his face.

"Please watch who you're bumping into. Unlike you drunkards, I actually have important things to do and places to be."

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR" one of the men shouted as he ran towards Naoya. However, before his fist could reach Naoya, the man felt a hand holding onto his face. Soon a voice was whispering in the man's ear with a cheerful tone.

"So quick to lash out and act on instinct. I like that, it's easy to forget that humans can be just as violent as curses. Now then, let's see what shape your soul will take, shall we?"

Before the drunk man could turn around to see who was talking to him, he felt a weird sensation in his head. Before he knew it, his head was rapidly inflating. Veins were starting to bulge as his body kept growing uncontrollably. In a matter of seconds, blood splattered on the ground as the man's head was no longer connected to his body. Meanwhile the remains of his body were gray and shriveled up until it was so small that it could fit in Mahito's right hand.

"RUN", screamed one of the two remaining drunks that just witnessed this situation. As the two of them ran around the corner, they soon found themselves in an alleyway. One tried to run out the alleyway only to get punched onto the ground. With a smirk on his face, Naoya unsheathed Asuramaru as he stabbed the blade into the man's back.

"How disappointing. I thought for sure you would come at me and try to take my life. You don't carry a gun? A knife? Or anything?"

As Naoya said this, he began to stir Asuramaru while it was inside of the man's back. The man couldn't help but scream in pain as blood as now staining the ground and the blade. Soon the final drunk man rushed at Naoya as he took a knife out of his pocket. However, before he could reach his attacker, the man was pinned against a wall as Mahito transfigured his arm to be larger and stretched it so it could slam against the man.

"Naoya, it looks like one of these guys were about to try and stab you. Can I be extra rough with this one? I wonder what shape HIS soul will take."

"Go right ahead, Mahito" Naoya responded as he was slightly beginning to grow bored of hearing his victim screaming. Soon Naoya slammed his fist onto Asuramaru's pommel as the blade severed his victim's spinal cord. As Naoya stared at the two men about to be transfigured by Mahito, he took Asuramaru out of his victims body and sheathed the blade.

"This was fun. We collected mana for Eve, we gathered enough humans for you to use your Idle Transfiguration to turn them into ammunition for you, Mahito. I'm glad we got to do things my way in the end. After all, what's the point of living if you can't enjoy risking your life?"

Mahito smiled as he now has two more human ammunition in his arsenal. As both himself and Naoya walk out the alleyway, the curse chuckled to himself as he knew what was about to happen.

"It's time to finish what we started. Your days are numbered, Megumi-chan...and the rest of you Demon Hunters."
