Ibuki is walking through the crowded streets. Her trench coat covering her lithe frame perfectly, warming her and concealing her body from peering eyes. A light breeze passes through her hair, ruffling its smooth threads gently like gentle waves in a black sea. Ibuki walks slowly towards her house in a steady pace, her shoes tapping lightly against the concrete as she navigates toward her home.

The occurrences of the last couple of hours are still bothering her greatly. "I was really…really close to killing that b*st*rd…I could feel the next blow about to be released. *Sigh* I guess I'm growing up, I've lost the naive and sweet bliss of my youth. I know truly realize what I've been holding back for years… I've realized that some people…are so low…so revolting…so evil…that…that they deserve to die. And I know that I have the power to do so, and I feel that a time will come where I will not hold back, soon…" Ibuki thinks and inhales deeply, pursing her lips and looking up at the clear skies for a moment.

She then sighs audibly before lowering her head and continuing her walk, her hands now in the pockets of her coat. She walks for for around 15 minutes before reaching her house and walking up to the door. She takes out the keys and unlocks the door before entering the house.

Then she takes off her trench coat and puts it on a chair. She then takes her purse and walks upstairs. "I definitely need a shower after being touched by that pig…no…that's too nice…that b*st*rd! No that won't do either…Ooooh! He's grossness is beyond words…" She thinks and shivers at the thought of his hands on her, feeling nauseous at the thought, the urge to vomit reaching the bowels of her stomach.

She goes to her room and places the purse on her bed, then she walks up to her closet and takes out some fresh undergarments and her Pajamas before walking towards the shower. She undresses and enters the shower, as the water flows down her frame she loathes her body with soap.

She scrubs her body repeatedly, soaping and cleaning herself. "I can still feel his arms…How grouse…He's so revolting…I need to get his stench and touch out of my systems…" She thinks and grimaces as she does. She continues the cleansing many more times while grimacing, holding back the urge to puke at the thought of him touching her again.

Only a good 30 minutes later she turns the water knobs and the water stops pouring as she feels she is finally purged from his touch and stench. She then exits the shower and dries herself with a towel before getting dressed quickly. Now clad in her P.J's she wraps the towel around her hair and sighs.

She returns to her room and sits down on her bed. Then she holds her face in her hands and closes her eyes. "I Guess I can forget about resting well in the next few weeks…or months…Joy…here we go again…" She thinks and sighs audibly before raising her gaze as a thought comes to mind.

"I wonder what was on the CD-ROM…" Ibuki muses to herself and turns to her purse and picks it up. She rummages through it and takes out the little CD-ROM. She looks at the cover looking for possible clues on the contents.

"He told me to get the disk…but he never said I take a quick peak through its contents…" Ibuki thinks and gets off her bed while hmming. She then sits on her chair before her PC and puts the CD-box on the desk before taking out the CD itself.

She holds it carefully so she doesn't leave fingerprints and looks at it and with a raised brow. It is a simple looking TDK Scorched CD with no label or writing on it. She turns it around and looks at the back, She sees the laser marks on the surface and concludes that the CD is full, no space left unfilled.

She then opens the drive and puts in the CD. She then moves the mouse over the CD-ROM Icon on her Windows screen. The minute she double clicks a window pops up. She raises a brow "Password?" She mutters.

She rubs her chin and sees there are too many digits for it to be a single word. She thinks of possible codes concerning the Yakuza but none even come near the long code's length. Then she sighs and lets her head lean on her hand.

"What to do? Shall I try the decoder I programmed last month? Nah…I don't want to trigger a possible self destruction sequence on the data." She muses to herself. She taps her fingers on the wooden table and whistles a tune as she tries to solve the problem.

Then realization hits her like a bolt of lightning. She gets up quickly and dashes to her bag. She grabs it and opens a zipper on its side. And takes out the crumpled note she found the previous night.

She then dashes and sits back by the PC screen. She places the note beside her and looks at the screen. She notices a very small 3 located on the bottom left corner of the code request window. She then types in the code labeled as the third and presses the ok button.

The CD-ROM contents window opens and she sees 2 large documents and many other files. One is labeled "VenomB.Doc". Ibuki double clicks on it. And another code entry screen pops up. But this time there are 3 codes to be inputted.

Ibuki looks at the screen and rubs her chin. "Ok…I know there are 3 codes…the question is in which order do I input them." She thinks and taps her fingers on the table. She looks on the screen and sighs "Well…here goes nothing…" She thinks to herself.

She decides to gamble and write in the codes from last to first. She does and clicks on the ok button and the screen switches to the doc. Ibuki smiles and scrolls down the document, reading the info quickly.

The she goes wide eyed "Holy sh*t…They're going to mass copy the VB part and sell it to American firms for hundreds of millions of dollars. This in turn will give them funds to exchange into weapons, these weapons will flood Japan, bring a huge crime wave, chaos…Disorder…maybe even a revolution! My god…I gotta stop them somehow…but how? Can I single handedly beat the Yakuza?" Ibuki thinks.

"Should I go to the authorities? Should I turn to Geki-Sensei with the news?" Ibuki thinks before she reads another line and curses under her breath. "Oh d**n…only 2 days left before the exchange…I can't afford to wait for the law enforcement and the Shinobi must stay neutral, I might jeopardize future business for the clan if I drag them into this. I guess I gotta tackle this one myself…Great, Just freakin' Great. Well at least I'll not only will I fulfill that B*st*rd X's mission and get closer on getting mom back, I'll also save Japan and get a change to nail that rapist Sonavb*tch…" Ibuki thinks.

The she closes the window on the screen and takes out the CD and puts it in its box.

A man is sitting on a chair in a large oriental decorated room. He is sitting with his back turned to the door and his face is hidden in the shadow's. A large man enters the room and bows "You summoned me Kumichou?" He asks in a low and obedient tone.

"Hai. Have you any news on the whereabouts of the gaishou?" He asks in a cold tone and turns around to face the man. The man in the chair turns out to be the same Dan of Yakuzas which Ibuki had taken care of earlier on. His face is bandaged, and many bruises cover his face, not to mention large white bandages, which are wrapped around his body.

"Emm…We've been unsuccessful Wagakimi (my lord in Japanese), We haven't enough data to find a solid location or background on her." He says while bowing his head.

The Yakuza lord's face twists in anger "Wrong answer! Now go and don't show your lousy a** here before you have results…next time you will…you die…" He states and turns around breaking eye contact and showing that the conversation is over.

The man walks away quickly escaping the room before the Dan would grow even angrier. Then a high pitched ring emits from a black cell phone on the table beside the Dan. He raises a brow and picks it up.

"Who is this?" He asks suspiciously and leans back into his chair. "What?! How dare you call me? I have nothing to…What? Who? How? Ok…I'm listening…" He says and his eyes shine with cold interest yet his face is twisted in disgust.

"Whyare you telling me this?" The Yakuza boss asks the voice on the other side of the receiver in a suspicious tone. "Is that so? How do I know you're not lying…I see…Thanks for the info…I'll be sure to use it…" The Dan of Yakuzas says and disconnects the call.

He then rubs his chin and thinks of how to use his new found knowledge. He then presses a button under the desk he's sitting by. A minute later a man comes rushing in and bows before him.

"You called Kumichou?" The man says and lowers his gaze to look at the ground in an act of obedience. The Yakuza boss smiles to himself "I have new orders for you…come closer…" He says and motions with his hand.

The man nods and complies. Then he approaches to his boss. The Yakuza boss bends forward. "I want you to kidnap a girl…Then I want you to pass a message to someone…Is that clear?" He asks the man.

The man nods and bows again. Then the Yakuza boss takes a note from his desk. He scribbles some Kanji symbols on the paper and hands it to him "These are the details you need to know…execute the orders now… you have exactly…" He says and looks at his wristwatch.

"7 hours" He says. The man nods and bows again before leaving the room. Then the Yakuza boss is left alone again. "Soon…you little gaishou…I shall have my revenge…not only will you give us the disk back…you'll make up for your little stunt…right before we take care of you" He thinks and grins.
