(Later At Sakura's and Botan's House)

The Anime Artists arrived at their destination. Botan waited for his father to park his car in the driveway before parking next to his dads car. They all then got out and went inside the house, when they got in they all were hit with the delicious smell of food.

"Oh I think Mom's cooking bento! I love Bento!" Sakura exclaimed.

"Oh I wonder what she's putting into the Bento?" Aika asked.

"You'll see Mom always makes something different when it comes to Bento's so we'll see what she's making once she's done." Botan explained.

"Okay well let's go inside. I need to rest after what happened back at my house." Aika explained.

"Aww well don't worry Aika I can help you feel better from what happened back at your place!" Sakura exclaimed.

"And what's that?" Aika asked.

"Well I have a lot of Manga and Anime's we can watch in my room!" Sakura explained.

"I guess I can go for that." Aika said.

"Hey I need to use the bathroom so can one of you lead me to it?" Haru asked.

"Oh Sure come on Haru follow me." Botan then led Haru to the bathroom.

Sakura then took Aika by the hand and led her up to her room while skipping happily. As they were going up to Skaura's room Aika still couldn't believe that this was the same girl who stood up to the leader of the girls who had been making her school life a living hell.

'Man Sakura is so kind and sweet, and yet she hit and screamed at Akane who bullied me for a long time. I might have to ask her about that later as that scared the living crap out of me.' Aika thought to herself.

Meanwhile in the kitchen Sakura and Botans mother was cutting up some hot dogs and making them look like calamari.

"Hey honey, ohh that smells delicious." Benjiro said.

"Aww thanks dear after I heard that Sakura and Botan were having their friends over I decided to make my famous Bento for dinner." She explained.

"That's very sweet of you Ichika, *sigh* man I think I need a day off from today's events" Benjiro said as he rubbed his eyes.

"Is everything okay dear?" Ichika asked, worried about her husband.

"Sorta I'm just emotionally drained as I had to talk to some rather nasty girls who have been bullying Himari's daughter Aika." Benjiro explained, he then told Ichika about everything.

"Oh my I know you have to deal with a lot of bad people, but those girls sound like absolute monsters!" Ichika said, surprised by what her husband told her.

"I know right, it's bad enough they hurt her at school, but to assault, steal, berate, and make a hate website on her is just terrible, and to make it worse Aika's apparently depressed and is self harming." Benjiro explained.

"Oh my word! That poor thing, to have been bullied so badly that she'd started hurting herself, but I'm most surprised that Sakura actually screamed at someone and punched them. I didn't even know she was capable of violence." Ichika said.

"I know when she exploded like that I felt my heart leap into my throat and I think it skipped a beat when she punched that girl in the face." Benjiro said.

"Well I feel like she had it coming for treating another human being so poorly." Ichika stated.

"Yeah I believe she did... *sigh* I'm going to change and head into our room. Once you're done cooking, would you join me?" Benjiro asked.

"Oh why not I feel like you could use the company after everything that happened. Oh and I heard that Asahi is going out on a date, I'm glad that he's giving love another chance after the horrific break up he went through with his ex-wife." Ichika explained happy for Asahi.

"Yeah and it's with Aika's mother." Benjiro said.

"Oh it is, well I'm happy for the two of them. After hearing out Himari's horrible ex-husband I'm glad she found love again and not just with her daughter." Ichika explained.

"Yeah I agree, but the real challenge will be for Asahi to be accepted by Aika as Himari did clearly state that her daughter will always be her number one priority." Benjiro explained.

"Well I feel like Asahi and Aika will end up becoming good friends as he's a nice man." Ichika explained.

Benjiro smiled at his wife's words, he then got up and went into their room to change while Ichika went back to cooking.

(Meanwhile at Hinata's house)

Mio was in the living room watching TV, she then looked at the clock and saw that it was 8:00 Pm and her son still wasn't back. She started to get worried as even though her husband disappeared she was worried about her son also getting kidnapped. However her worries disappear when she hears the front door open and Hinata calling out that he was home.

"Hey Mom I'm home, don't bother making dinner I already ate. Okay I'm going up to my room now so don't come in without knocking or just dont disturb me." Hinata said quickly before his mother could even respond to anything he was saying.

"Hinata wait, you've been spending a lot of time in your room and I want to know if you're alright." Mio explained.

"I'm fine, I just want to be alone, that's all." Hinata said.

"Okay, well your uncle Asahi is going out on a date in case you're wondering where he is." Mio explained.

"Okay mom, thanks for telling me." Hinata said then went up to his room.

Mio sighed at her son's behavior, as before his father disappeared he spent less time in his room and more time with them. While Hinata isn't very social with other kids his age he did love spending time with his family.

However Mio never stopped Hinata from being alone when he wanted to as she knew he needed to be alone to grief for his father disappearing. Mio sighed again before sitting back and resuming the movie she was watching.

Hinata meanwhile closed the door to his room door and locked it to make sure his mother wouldn't come in. He then went up to his computer and turned it on, sat down in his chair, and got out his notebook.

Once his computer was turned on he went into a fold where he put reports that were sent to him via his secret neighborhood crime watch. He made this about a few years back when he was a freshman in high school.

This was because he noticed how violent crimes were on the rise in his city, not wanting to sit back and let the police take care of the criminals. He also knew that the justice system was all kinds of screwed up due to the criminals having the money and means to avoid the law.

However once Hinata started up his crime watch program anomaly he started putting criminals in their rightful place and giving them the punishment they deserve. Then a few months ago his father was kidnapped and after he got over the grief of the whole thing he worked even harder on his program to find out who was responsible for this.

After that The Artists game was announced along with multiple strange events occurring around town a few weeks before that. He then started investigating more about this game and the strange events trying to figure out if they were connected. In his research he found out that once every year a game like this would be announced and strange events like this would happen in many different parts all around Japan.

After finding out about all of this Hinata became dedicated to not only find his Father but the games operator and put a permanent end to this game once and for all.

"The other day I heard screaming coming from my neighbor's house. My neighbor is a man in his thirties named Doi. He lives alone, is into young anime girls. We've never talked much aside from casual hellos when we see each other, but lately I've been hearing screaming coming from young teenage girls coming from his house and now I'm concerned. I didn't want to call the police directly as I'm afraid he'll hide the evidence. So I'm making this report to this crime watch program to see if anything bad is happening there or if he's just watching something with the volume at full blast." Hinata read a report out loud.

After he read it he started hacking into Doi's shopping, phone history, along with any photos, to see if this man is a criminal. After a while Hinata found photos of teenage girls changing, and ones who were chained up in the basement. He also found that in his texts that this man was planning on selling the girls he kidnapped to any predator willing to buy them.

After gathering the evidence Hinata put the info in an evidence file and sent it off to the police.

"That man is going to be locked up for the rest of his days. But still nothing on my father, ugh this is getting frustrating. However I'm not giving up, even if I'll get little to no sleep I'm finding my dad and locking up any scumbag I come across. I'm Hinata Hiroko and I'm here to bring justice under the letter M, for Mysterious. I will bring justice to the world and I will prevent innocent lives from being taken away by the scum of the world!" Hinata AKA M declared as he continued on looking through the reports to put the scum of the world in their place.

(With Himari and Asahi)

Asahi was standing outside a restaurant waiting anxiously for Himari to arrive. He then saw headlights coming up to the parking lot and when they got closer he saw Himari in the car. He then straightened up his tie and stood up straight in order to look good for Himari as he wanted to make a good impression on their first date.

Himari then stepped out of the car and Asahi saw that Himari was wearing a beautiful pink kimono dress decorated with cherry blossom pattern. He blushed when he saw her in the kimono dress, her dark hair pulled up in a flower bun.

"H-Hey Himari you look lovely this evening." Asahi said.

"Thanks Asahi and you look great yourself, and where are we going for dinner tonight?" Himari asked.

"Well I Thought we could go to The Golden Dragon inn." Asahi said.

"Are you sure I heard that a Yakuza known as The Golden Dragon clan owns the place?" Himari said, a bit concerned.

"Oh don't worry we won't need to worry about that, as long as we don't talk smack or cause trouble for the inn and others in it." Asahi explained.

"Okay if you say so." Himari said.

Asahi then took Himari by the hand and brought her into the place. When the two entered there was a golden dragon fountain in the center of the place along with many other people at different tables eating their meals.

"Hello Asahi reservation for two correct?" The waiter asked.

"Yes I'd reserved a seat for me and my date here." Asahi explained.

"Alright follow me and I'll take you both to your seat." The waiter then led the two of them to their seats.

The two sat at a table that was next to a window giving them a great view of the garden that was outside. Himari looked and saw that the garden was illuminated by beautiful lights.

"Wow, this place is amazing." Himari said.

"Thanks, I used to come here a lot when I was married, but after me and my ex-wife divorced I haven't been home here in a while." Asahi explained.

"Ah well I know how that feels, me and my ex-husband had gone to this lovely duck pond, but after he started drinking, gambling, and doing drugs we stopped going there." Himari said sadly.

"Oh I'm so sorry, why did he start doing that in the first place?" Asahi asked.

"Well when we learned we were going to be parents he started changing, he started becoming more strict on me and specifically told me that he wanted the baby to be a boy. When we learned that it was a girl he went ballistic and told me I was a defect for making the baby a girl, and my in-laws were saying the same thing." Himari explained.

"Wow I'm so sorry about that Himari... and didn't any of them know that the baby's gender was up to the male?" Asahi asked.

"I told them that, but they didn't believe me. After Aika was born my ex-husband tried to give her up for adoption, but I didn't allow it. I managed to stop him from doing that, but once I got home from the hospital he started beating me. He screamed that I was defective and many other things. During the time he was still around I had to do what I could to protect Aikka from him. However one says he ended up hurting Aika so badly that she ended up in the hospital." Himari explained sadly.

"Oh no what did he do?" Asahi worried about what happened to Aika. Himari then told him about what her ex did and what he threatened to do if she told the police about it.

She then went on to explain that it all ended when loan sharks came by their house and took her husband away as he owed money to them. Once she was done explaining Asahi held her hand feeling incredibly sorry for what happened to Himari and her daughter.

"I'm so sorry about that Himari if I was Aika's father I would've loved her no matter what her gender was. All I would've wanted was to be a father and even if Aika might not be my biological daughter I would love to be her father if I could." Asahi said in a reassuring tone.

"Thanks Asahi that means a lot to me, and once we get to know each other more then I'm sure Aika would love to have someone like you as her father." Himari said.

"Thanks and I do hope she likes me." Asahi said.

Himari reassures Asahi that Aika will grow to like him, all he has to do is prove himself to Aika and she'll accept him into their family. Soon they ordered their food and started talking about other stuff aside from their previous love life. As they were talking, two men came into the restaurant. Himari looked over at them and saw that they had tattoos of golden dragons.

Asahi looked over to where Himari was looking and saw the two men, due to the tatto's everyone who saw them knew that they were a part of the Golden Dragon clan. This is because those who wore those tattoos were members of the clan.

"You know I'm glad I didn't bring Aika here." Himari said.

"Why do you say that?" Asahi asked.

"Well she hates Yakuza's due to their violent and criminal history." Himari explained.

When Asahi heard that he cooked a bit of his food as Himari's words echoed through his head.

"Asahi are you okay?" Himari asked.

"Y-yeah I'm fine I just need to use the bathroom, be right back." Asahi said then got up and headed to the bathroom.

Once he was in there he went up to a sink that was closest to the door, turned on the water, and started splashing the water on his face to calm down. As he was doing this someone else came into the bathroom, and they put their hand on his shoulder. Scared Asahi wiped around, but when he saw who it was he calmed down as it was an old friend.

"Oh my god! Daisuke, don't scare me like that!" Asahi exclaimed, annoyed.

"Hehe sorry man, but I couldn't help but notice you're with that pretty woman, and I wanted to congratulate you for getting such a lady." Daisuke said.

"Thanks, but now I'm worried her daughter might not like me." Asahi said.

"Why's that, you're such a nice guy and you always said you wanted to be a father." Daisuke said.

"I know but Himari said that her daughter hate's Yakuza's due to their violent and criminal history, and I'm friends with the leader of the golden Dragon Yakuza clan." Asahi explained.

Daisuke stayed quiet for a while trying to think of what to say to his friend to help him feel better.

"Hey man listen I know that you being friends with the leader of the Clan I'm in is kinda awkward in some situations, but you need to remember that you're not a part of the clan. So what if your friends with us, we're not bad people we only punish those who cause problems for others and those who owe money to us, pay it off with hard manual labor. Also I'm sure once Himari's daughter sees that we're good people then I'm sure she won't hate us." Daiskue explained.

Asahi looked to his friend before giving the guy a hug and saying "thanks Daisuke you're awesome, I need that and now I feel a lot better."

Daisuke smiled and hugged Asahi back before saying "Anytime my friend, you're a nice guy who deserves to have a happy life with a nice woman like Himari there."

The two then stopped hugging each other and Daisuke said "Now go out there and win that woman's heart, and if you mess things up with her I'll Kill you."

Asahi laughed before going back out to enjoy the rest of his date with Himari hoping that he'll be able to also become friends with Aika later on down the line.
