Fatal Verse

Chapter 1

Shinzo smiled looking at herself in her compact mirror she was on her way to the venue, noticing the crowd was getting thicker by the second she put out her cigarette. Shinzo flicked it into the cigarette trash bin without blinking as it successfully landed inside the opening. She applied more lipstick closing the mirror putting it in her coat pocket along with her lipstick but as she stepped into the crowd she was elbowed and shoved out.She made sure her hair was still tucked away under her red beanie.

With a huff she kept herself composed she pushed her sunglasses up hugging her black coat to herself.Shinzo tried going into the crowd this time she was shoved so hard in an attempt to keep from falling she moved her foot at a certain angle she heard a snap seeing that her right heel was broken. In the reflection of the show postage sign she saw a young man a bit short-perhaps she was only tall because of her heels-came up beside her grabbing her arm to keep her upright.He grunted,

"People are the worst. I'll help you to the door. No need to thank me just walk if you can."

The young man tried not to look at her face his eyes landed on her thinking the crimson shade was nice looking on her plump lips.Shinzo took off her shoes holding them looking at him through her peripheral vision. He was wearing a skull mask, his leather jacket had skulls on the collar and she knew the shirt was merch from her profession. This young man was here to see her performance she felt grateful that he did what he did.Shinzo touched the boy's arm he met eyes with her, his gray eyes seemed concerned about something he asked,

"Did you twist your ankle?"

Shinzo shook her head saying,

"I have to go in a different way..Uhm..As a way to say thanks which I won't I can offer you a VIP entry, you can choose any seat in the theater.I have to hurry so uhm.. Just follow me."

Shinzo let go of his arm walking out of the crowd happy that he followed her and she walked up to the guard showing him something. The guard stared at the young man so Shinzo said,

"He's to choose a seat of his liking and is to be treated to anything he wants, including merchandise.."

The guard tsked,

"You can't start letting fans rob you just because they helped you-"

Shinzo said sternly,

"You gonna let us in or not?"

Shinzo grabbed the young man's hand not caring how he and the guard were glaring at each other, bringing him into a hall there were several doors so she pointed giving him a special card.She smiled,

"Show that to whoever questions you and go through the first door at the end of the hall. Enjoy the show."

Before the young man could speak she opened the middle door closing and locking it behind her she quickly took off her coat and beanie. Her white hair falling into place a few moments later her stylist crew came in to remind her which outfits were for certain parts of the show. More make up was applied she refused to let anyone tell her to change her lipstick choice.Shinzo did a few breathing exercises, going into the dance practice room the huge mirror to warm up and to do a few of her dances.Feeling confident she went back to her dressing room to find a bouquet of stargazers in a beautiful red vase with intricate patterns.Someone cleared their throat,

"You look ready as always. I am here like I promised. I'll be here for the private show with trusted people I know as well but we'll be out of view so please carry on without a worry of being interrupted."

Shinzo hummed,

"Chrollo, my dear cousin..Hmm why are you here? I don't remember you promising anything. As a matter of fact I didn't want anything to do with you after what I had heard what was done to the Kurta Clan.Thieves don't go as far as to do that to innocent, completely innocent people and to leave no survivors.A clan completely erased from existence-"
