In an apartment, where a part of Japan is quiet and small.  Morning

A sentient  skeleton was sitting by the window with a cigarette in his mouth. He was wearing pastel colored pajamas.

Katashi walks downstairs with a scrunched up face "Yo joe, what the hell did I say about smoking in here" He said already irritated

"Oh my bad do you pay the rent for the fucking place or I do?" Joe replied

"Dawg, I live here too and I have a job ready in june for fuck sake" Katashi sighed

"Anyway, you don't have some kind of bounty yet" He goes to the kitchen, making coffee

"Nah fuck em..no job hooks me to be honest..when I got into the game, I thought I would kill big strong mother fuckers..y'know but all I do is murder teenage boyfriends, cheating husbands, and in laws" The skeleton puffs a smoke and leans on his chair

"I just wish there was a strong opponent or some shit" Joe sighed

Katashi finishes his drink and nods in understanding "y'know I've despised coming home almost dying 24/7" He shrugged and sat across from Joe "maybe dealing with some small fry won't be so bad"

"Did you check the mail?" Joe asked

Katashi shook his head: no

"But I did just get em the other day" He pointed them on the kitchen counter

Joe walks over to the mail and searches for shit "Me,me,me, you, you, you, me, me, me" He says putting them into a nice pile

After he gets done, He sees a black letter that didn't have any of their names on the envelope

Joe tears it apart and reads the letter, His mouth gaped open

Mount. Fuji

Skeleton, Katashi, and his girlfriend Dai.

Dai had beautiful blonde hair, red lipstick, and dark shades. Katashi had a pistol with a holster attached to his leg then there's Joe, with a hawaiian shirt, shorts, flip flops, and a katana without a sheath

"This place is here..?" Dai sighed and had her hand on her hips "Are you sure?"

"Apparently.." Katashi sighed

"Ight no time to lose" Joe dashed up the mountain with Katashi and Dai following

As they zoom through the mountain, jumping over rocks, going through the clouds in the air. The three then land to see an old traditional Japanese house

It was just an empty field on top of the mountain. The sky immediately went from blue to gray as feeling a bit cold

"There better be some strong motherfuckers here" Joe gripped on his katana both-handed

Katashi pointed his pistol and felt a sense of dread in this place

The skeleton gripped the katana tightly, feeling sweat on his skull

A young man with blue hair, pale skin, and a skinny build

He was breathing heavily and staring down at the three of them

The man snapped his fingers

And the footing on top of the island crumbled into a large vacant ruin

With torches the only thing lighting up the place as well as large statue almost creeping up on them

"What the hell??" Joe's voice eoched

Katashi raised his gun upward with both hands off the trigger "Stay on your toes, Hunny stay close"
