"Xiao." A girl with two pigtails appeared, holding some sort of weapon in a dark hallway.

"What do you want?" Xiao was aware on who it was, suprisingly everytime she was like this it was something urgent.

"Are you aware that the fatui has done some job? Y'know, Barbatos?"
The girl kept walking, and walking towards Xiao. It gave chills down his spine but the same time he was used to it.

Xiao's reaction shocked him a bit hearing the name Barbatos and answered, "Oh, they did?"

"Why'd you react like that hm? Aiyaa~" The girl is now close, turning off her aura later on near Xiao.

"Nothing In Particular, Hu Tao." Xiao answered.

Hu Tao, 77th director of the Adepti Organization. She and another girl with Xiao are what controls the organization, they are... The CEO's.

"Seems like Morax, Barbatos and Ei hasn't figured us out yet hm~" Hu Tao was obnoxious, she had some sort of personality.

"It's going down to plan, it's that easy, rest assure atleast." Xiao answered coldly leaning down onto a wall.

"But the Fatui Xiaooxiao~ They were gonna kill Barbatos before us!" Hu Tao's tone was getting annoying from Xiao's preference.

"I told you, It's fine." Xiao shot up a glare to Hu tao.

Xiao's glare made Hu Tao shiver, it was cold, dark and lifeless full of anger.

"O-okay." Suprisngly his phrase made Hu tao stutter, he leaves her onto the hallway like nothing has happened.

"Damn he grew so much... he's going on a different path, huh?" Hu Tao's thoughts were up in a bubble, Xiao and her has been friends, they were pure adepti but they were scattered throughout the slums, though they were poor and their parents always asked them to steal, they lived in the slums because their parents abandoned them later on, not until the organization found them and adopted them three who had talent to kill. Though, one of them wasn't really abandoned, she was just not given attention to the point she left her family behind much all, leaving her brother which she cared for.

"She thinks... She could do anything." Xiao sighed. Xiao was the loneliest among the three, Hu tao and the other girl are his only friends not to mention he doesn't have any other friends his age, he's still young. Xiao liked illustrating his feelings a lot, he also liked music atleast.

"I should really keep my eye on Venti." Xiao thought.

Yes, Xiao was aware on who Venti was, it was his plan afterall.

Timeskip...

"Urgent Report! from Alberich, Kaeya."

"What is it?" Morax asked.

"A new recruit from the fatui, He... Seems dangerous." Kaeya answered.

"Dangerous? Another? , but I mean he wouldn't interfere with us right?" Barbatos exclaimed.

"He... actually is someone you know, Ei." Kaeya looked further down onto the sheets of paper he was holding, his hands was shaking a bit, the same time he was feeling uneasy.

"Someone I know?" Ei eyes widen, she stood up from her seat and took the sheets of paper in Kaeya's hands, she read the first sheet of paper.

"A dark violet haired, specializes in close combat, Fatui new recruit, from... Inazuma named..." Ei felt like her heart dropped reading the name that was written, she dropped the papers and the second sheet of paper was revealed, it was a picture of a young lad with Ei, like a family picture. Ei was breathing heavily then on...
