"Oraaa~" Badō moaned, rubbing the back of his neck, watching the coldhearted bitch that was Anabachi leave the ring after suddenly killing the opponent that he left half dead. "If I knew I could kill him, I would've done it myself." Sighed the blond fighter, his words would most likely gone unheard by the KS'ing stick of dynamite that strode from his sight, leaving him with an icy cold glare. Yeah, she did it for him, and he guaranteed that her glare wouldn't be half as icy if she were under him knockin' boots.
He flexed his hand, "Oi, I want more...give me more. I was promised an actual challenge."

The girl did not pay Bado any mind as she headed into the back area. She simply snapped her fingers, and the same men who came into the conference room to retrieve Bado the first time returned to remove him from the ring, and several others came to remove the large behemoth's lifeless shell. She'd seen enough. She didn't even care if The Boss wasn't done at this point.
You see, the large dead man on the floor was one of Anabachi's own recruits. He was an inmate in Shou's massive prison, known for his brute strength. He ruled the prison's own underground as an emperor of sorts, and happened to be one of the physically strongest fighters in the Underground, and none of her recruits had ever been defeated. What this Bado character had done - as well as her own boss and superior - was crumple her reputation as a recruiter into pieces, just like the man's body.
When met by Sei in the back, Anabachi simply stopped, arms yet still folded. Her gaze, much softer now, rested upon Sei. He was one of the few of them that silently understood her, even if he didn't understand her methods. "I brought him in to this 'world', and it's only fair that I'm the one to take him out."
"So, this has nothing to do with the newbie decimating your undefeated record?" Sei said carefully, pushing off the wall and walking beside her. He knew not to get too close to her with the mood she was in, but something told him that she'd vented her anger enough. Ana began walking again to the skybox, leaving Sei standing there, answerless.
- - -
When she returned to the box, she realized The Boss had left and no one was left except Gan and Raigyo. "So, I guess he's satisfied?" She asked the two, a cryptic smile curling upon the outsides of her lovely lips.
Below, the giant man had been dragged off, and the crowd was roaring for another fight, for more gore.

Walking down the arena corridor a rather peculiar man made his way through all of the people. His skin was pale, practically white, and his hair was bleach blonde. A pure white jacket hung loosely on his torso and white pants and shoes covered his lower body. People moved out of the ghost man's path as he walked on. His eyes, white iris with a black surrounding, would lock onto a blonde haired female as she walked up the corridor. As the two passed a very faint smirk would form, but as he rounded the corner it would fade away.
"You wanted something, Aniki?" the raspy voice of the man spoke. Turning around Sei looked at the man with half interested eyes, and then looked back out at the arena.
"Go entertain the crowd. Just try not to get killed," Sei would respond simply before walking past the ghost man. Patting him on the shoulder he would continue down the same hallway that Anabachi had just walked down. The pale man would remain silent for a moment as he watched the men escort Badō out of the arena.
Walking into the pit he kept his white eyes fixated on a silver haired samurai, who was just now entering the ring. With his hands comfortably rested in his pockets he would tilted his head to the side slightly once he entered the ring.
"I guess I'll be your next opponent."
________________________
Glancing back over his shoulder as Ana entered into the room Raigyo raised an eyebrow. Honestly, he didn't expect her to come back up to the sky box after that little performance. But whatever, he's been wrong before. Looking around the room it appeared as if the Boss really was gone.
"Guess so...," Raigyo said with a shrug, and then turned his attention back down at the ring as the crowd erupted with cheers and applause. "Looks like Sei's got the crowd handled."
"Heh, maybe it'll be an actual fight this time," Gan said with a toothy grin on his face. He then looked back at Ana with a curious look on his face. "Wasn't that big dude one of your recruits?"

Anabachi did not even turn her head to look at Gan when he made the mistake of commenting on the obvious. She simply shot him a piercing glance from the side, causing him to jump and almost fall out of his seat. The red headed boy grabbed on to Raigyo out of panic, but quickly let him go. He didn't want to be in the path of either his or her wrath. That was a losing battle. Feeling the need to step away from the electrical charge of negativity in the room, Gan stood and walked out. "Geeze, it was just a question..." he muttered, going off to look for Sei, who was just about to enter the room as Gan was walking out.
Gan stopped him and shook his head. "It's cold in there, bro. I wouldn't go in there without a jacket and some gloves."
Sei simply smiled and nodded at the boy. Gan had always been the comedy. The two had been best friends and come onto the advisory board together, but he knew that Gan's jokes held meaning right now. So, he'd steer clear of the ice queen and the fire god for now. Peeking his head in the door, he simply waved and smiled gently. "The next fight is set up and underway, and their taking Bado to The Boss for a briefing. Gan and I are gonna get some food." And without a goodbye (for goodbyes had no use here), he walked down the hall and out of sight with his sidekick.
Anabachi walked over to Raigyo, knowing he'd shown no emotion the whole time, other than excitement over bloodshed. That sadistic son-of-a-bitch. He got off on is own masochism. She walked up behind his seat and gently placed her soft hands on his shoulders, rubbing them downward until she was bent over and her face was next to his. "So, what do you make of this Bado guy?" Her games were sneaky and her intentions obscure. She knew Raigyo would never take her at face value, but she didn't care. Ana had her own interior motives to accomplish.

"Weird lookin' mutherfucker..." Badō muttered as he passed by the albino dude on his way from the ring with a pinky lodged in his nose and a hand in his pocket. Badō lagged behind the two big dudes, casually strolling up the hallway.
A young man strode up the opposite direction, as he passed Badō, he looked to the young fighter, but he was unlucky enough to have Badō's eyes fall back upon him, trading looks for a moment--
Blood sprayed which was followed by a thud and the man's cry, being left slumped against the wall, clutching his face, blood poured from between his fingers. The two guards hurried back to Badō and the man, Badō lazily looked to the two guards with a frown. "He looked at me wrong. I don't like it when people look at me wrong."
"Tch...walk in front of us...!!" One of the guards reached out to grab Badō by the shoulder, only to notice that his world was upside-down. Another thud, and the guard was flat on his back.
"Ahaha...my bad...reflex...I have a thing about dudes touching me." Badō admitted, putting his hands up in the air and walking past the standing guard. "Oi, I'm hungry, when can I get some grub?" The second guard stood, grunting and grabbing at the small of his back. He hurried to catch up as the guard guided Badō around the corner and up a flight of stairs. It wasn't before long before they arrived at the door that led to the skybox. One of the guards opened the door, and there stood Badō, his hands on his head, examining the occupants.
"Aw, shit. This where the party at?"
"The boss isn't here?" One guard asked the other, "Guess not." The second responded. "Hey, kid..."
"Aaahh...listen...I'm not for chasin' some dude around this place, plus...things seem...interesting here." He snickered just loud enough for the guards to hear. They wouldn't oppose him, there was drying blood on his fists that would make sure to that.

Paying Gan's little antics no mind Raigyo walked back over to his chair and sat down. His chilling blue eyes continued to look down at the ring. The crowd was going crazy as they yelled to the top of their lungs. It seemed that Sei's little albino recruit made just as good a fighter as he would have a circus freak. Either way, he didn't really care about the actual fight. The only thing going through his mind was how he could get more of a rise out of the crowd, and attract more spectators and participants.
His head turned slightly as he felt the soft and delicate hands of Anabachi gently land on his shoulders. Watching them as they rubbed down his torso he glanced back up as her face neared his. Smirking slightly as he leaned back in his chair a little Raigyo's eyes looked into her own. "He's a beast. Plain and simple," he'd say to her and then look back down at the ring. "And that's just what the crowd wants to see. He just needs to learn is place, is all."
Honestly, he had yet to form a complete opinion of the guy. That didn't stop him from seeing the potential Badō possessed though. In fact, if everything played out smoothly, Badō could actually become a really good ally. Especially in regards to dealing with certain little pests that liked to hang around his recruits.
"Speak of the devil...," he mutted when the doors opened up and Badō walked in. Slipping through Anabachi's arms he turned around and waved the guards off. "Let him be. The Boss'll come get him when he needs him," Raigyo told them as he took a few steps towards Badō. "What's your stance on the Shinobigatana?"

Anabachi looked over to the doorway where Bado was entering, tendrils of gold falling over her eyes. Her baby blues were thoroughly annoyed at the interruption, but perhaps this would be a superb moment to see how the two would interact. She let Raigyo slide from her clutches and finally stood upright, but she raised a curious brow at the mention of Shou's knights.
"Shinobigatana?" She thought to herself. "This should be interesting." Ana wasn't as stupid as Raigyo thought she was. She saw his plan forming on his forehead. It was like watching a low budget film: simple, easy to decipher, and bad acting. She was well aware of the fact that Shikome had acquired a new protege' who was rumored to be one of the famed Shinobigatana. And if this Bado guy was as insane as he let on, then the swordsman would be a perfect target for him. At least, for Raigyo's goals. More than likely, he wanted Shikome to himself.
That bitch.
Demon-chan wasn't even here and she was already one up-ing Ana again. Well, if she couldn't have everything her way, no one would have anything their way either.
"Shinobigatana? Shou's elite shinobi?" She began, stepping up between Raigyo and Bado, facing the new guy exclusively. "Why would he even care about them, Raigyo-san? You know they're not allowed in here. And Bado is a part of this underground community now..."
She walked up closer to the rookie and got remarkably close. So close, it was out of character for her. "I have a better question. How'd you like to beat the living shit out of a demon?"
She batted her long gorgeous eyelashes. "Sounds like fun, no?"

Badō watched the larger individual approach and ask him on his stance on the Shinobigatana. Truth was, he didn't have one, he felt about them the same way he felt about any other sword wielding individual that undermined his Taijutsu. Just as he was going to sarcastically respond, Anabachi spoke up, drawing uncharacteristically close. In his experience with women, they didn't give you the cold shoulder to suddenly be all up on you, especially when the two weren't all that acquainted. No, he knew that there was something for her to gain out of defeating this 'demon' she was so intent on selling him on fighting.
He leaned back slightly, looking down at the girl with an arched brow, his mug curled into that eerie smirk he was known for. His slanted eyes peered down, a shallow reflection on the surface of his eyes. "There's only one thing I'm interested on 'beating up'," he admitted, leaning back inward, drawing closer to the girl. "All I need to know is if you're game." Truth was, this underground stuff didn't interest him in the slightest. One fight that was barely worth the effort spent, the only thing that kept him here was shallow infatuation.

Men.
Such brianless animals. At least, they were in Anabachi's eyes. If she had to sink so low as to not snap his neck when he made lewd comments, then fine. She wouldn't kill him. She'd just make him suffer much later on, after she used his abilities to her advantage. If Raigyo got to have Demon-chan, she got to have this one.
"Mm," she pursed her lips together and smiled mechanically and wrapped her arm around his. "Well, I'll see what I can arrange. Care to join me for dinner?" Bado was a brute and she knew this, but maybe she could refine him into a fine tuned tool of mass destruction, very much like herself. She wouldn't give Raigyo a chance to butt into the conversation at all. If he did, she certainly was going to listen. It was clearly past time for a new game plan. All she needed to do was place the pieces, and set her scheme into motion.
"What do you say, Bado-kun..."

That bitch.
That was the only thought that worked through Raigyo's mind with Anabachi's abrupt interuption. His brow twitched as she moved closer to Badô and he gritted his teeth a little. What the fuck does she think that she's playing at? he thought to himself as she brought up the mention of Shikome.
Clentching his fists Raigyo closed his eyes. This was beginning to become rather annoying. Her childish little antics. He could feel his body tingling, and his fist began to shake slightly. Taking a few steps forward he stopped infront of Anabachi, placing a finger under her chin he lifted her head slightly. "Don't fuck with my plans, Ana-chan," he said as he looked her dead in the eyes. His expression was serious, and if one didn't know better it could have been as a threat rather than...friendly advice. He'd offer her a quick smile before patting her on the cheek as he walked past Badō and her.
Stepping out of the skybox Raigyo's chest seemed to tighten little by little. Closing his eyes he could feel the area just over his eye begin to tense up. Groaning lowly to himself he'd rub the area in an attempt to relieve the pressure, but it was to no avail.
"Raigyo-san," an eager voice spoke out from behind him. Apparently, one of his little fanboys had managed to sneak up to ask for an autograph or something. "I've come to challenge you for the tit--!!
[/b]" before he could even finish his declaration the heel of Raigyo's foot was already upside his head. The young man's head slammed against the wall and bounced off of it from the sheer force of the impact. Raigyo's arm shot forth as he grabbed him by his hair and pulled his head down as he bashed his knee onto the boy's face. The boy's body went limp as Raigyo lifted him up by his hair. Blood poured from his nose and his mouth, and a large knot was forming where he had been kicked. "You lose," he'd say simply before tossing the man aside and continued down the hallway.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]

"Huh." Badō's short chuckle was stifled as he watched Raigyo leave the room. His eyes shifted, looking down at the girl on his arm, it didn't take a genius to know that this place was boiling down to games within games. Everyone had their motives. It wasn't appetizing, at all.
All he wanted was a good fight, and he didn't seem to mind however barbaric it seemed. As long as he got his fights, whether someone was exploiting him for his talents didn't matter to him, at all. His passing glance moved from Ana for that one moment then out at the lights that hovered above, the ring out of his view from this distance. "Hnn..." Badō scratched at his stomach, clawing at the fabric of his shirt. "I could go for some grub..." He admitted with a mutter. Maybe he could get away from all this soap opera stuff.

And what a soap opera it was.
Now, if she were still cross about what had happened earlier, she would have broken the wrist of her protege' right there in front of their guest, but the last thing she needed was for them to scare Bado away, or even to make him think either of them were powerful enough to be opponents. That would lead to the utter destruction of the very advisory board that kept this place alive. Either way, if he ever did challenge her, she'd have no choice but to utterly and completely destroy his being and swallow his soul like an orphan child devouring a bowl of ramen .
That was just in theory, of course. It would never happen. Ever.
"Well then." She said, aiming to oblige him a remedy to his hunger. "Let's eat." And with that, she lead him from the room and down the hallway.
[End]
