"Did you hear?' A femenine voice echoed.

'About the two twins? Who hasn't? It's scary how powerful they are. The 'Red Puppet' was no small fry."

"What were they're names again?'' Boss demanded.

"Kuro and Shiro, complete opposites of each other, they're twins. They just joined and are already creating a ruckus."

"Torikku-san! You're still alive? So? Do you have any infomation on them?"

"Of course. Why else would i appear? It'll cost you."

"I know. The same price right? I'll get the old man to transfer it to you. Spit it out!"

"Thank you for doing business with me once again! This time we have the two rookies, Kuro and Shiro. As you already know, they won against Red Puppet. However, in the whole battle, only Shiro was fighting. Her weapons were knives.''

Laughter erupted across the room.

"Knives? The Red Puppet lost to knives?"

"Quiet! Torriku, finish what you have to say. If that girl really used only knives against Red Puppet then she must be a very skilled user."

"Yes, Red Puppet couldn't hit her at all. She seems to have an extreme fondness for candy and acts like a child but she is in fact very intellegent as she was able to figure out where Red Puppet was hiding in. Next is the older twin, Kuro. He did not participate in the battle but was shown to have incredible speed at the begining. He's a very cold individual except when it comes to his sister, he seems to abide to each and every of her whims. His weapon is unknown.

Now comes the interesting part. It seems like they entered of they're own free will and they were quite well off."

"Oh? That is interesting. It's been a very long time since someone dared to enter just for fun."

"Boss, they seem interesting. How about inviting them? It'll be nice to have another girl."

"Heh. You're not wrong Tsuki. Torriku! Where would they be around this time?''

"This would usually cost you but in return for your continued patronage, this time only it'll be free. Let's see, they should be at the canteen right about now. Most likely closest to the candy shop.'

"Shiro wants this! Oh and this looks yummy too! Shiro will have some of this and that, oh and that too!" The little girl spun in circles as she pointed animatedly to the thousands of sweets on display.

"Shiro, you won't be able to eat so much candy at once, we can always buy more later."

"I got it, onii-chan! Shiro wants those black ones, they're very pretty!"

In the distance, the twins were being watched by a certain lady. The two walked or rather one of them skipped towards a pillar, the very pillar the lady was standing behind and sat down at the table in front of the pillar. The lady breathed a sigh of relief as her location had not been discovered yet.

"Onii-chan, can you tell the onee-chan over there to stop watching us? I can't eat my candy properly with the way she's watching me."

"Shiro...it's okay, i'll get rid of her, you don't have to feel uncomfortable." saying so, the tall male walked towards the lady as she discarded her hiding place.

"All right, all right.There's no need to look so scary. I just want to ask you some questions. I'll even treat you to some candy so hear me out for a moment, kay?"

Kuro looked towards his younger sister as if for reassurance, no, it was to see if this could cause his younger sister any discomfort.

"Shiro dosen't mind. Onee-chan, sit down."

Her voice at that moment gave chills to the lady as her voice turned drastically different from the usual childish voice Shiro was known to have. As she slid into the seat, she noticed how the child, even though still eating was watching her every movement. It was almost as if she was expecting her to try and kill her.

"So? Onee-chan, what do you want to know? You've been watching us for quite some time already."

"Let's get straight to the point then, do you know of factions in the games?"

"Factions? Like in an MMORPG? There's something like that in here?"

"That's right. It works the exact same way. In the games, there are a few hundred of us players with factions starting up and dying as fast as people enter. I am part of a faction which has been around since the first generation."

"In other words, you're here to recruit us." Kuro cut in.

"Hmm...since you put it that way,that makes my job easier. I'm supposed to persuade you guys to enter since you have caught our attention. We'll help you if you're ever in trouble and i don't see a reson not to be in a faction. We don't just invite anyone. Of course, i don't expect you to accept immediately, i'll give you time to think. Just ask around for Tsuki and you'll be able to find me."

"Okay."

"What?''

"Shiro said okay. It seems fun so why not? But, you must promise not to get in Shiro's way or Shiro won't be responsible for anthing that happens to any of you. Shiro is okay but only if onii-chan wants to join as well."

"I will go along with what Shiro wants, since she has agreed, i will follow her. This is a warning but if you try and touch her or seperate us,you will have hell to pay."

At that very moment, Tsuki really got scared. The mere hatred boiling in his eyes was enough to send chills down her spine.
