Sasuke had dodged away from his brothers gang unseen. For Itachi always had someone staying with him because of what happened and the fact that sasuke told them about Ethans little plot.He walked down the streets of downtown. He had his sword on his back this time and kunai's in his pockets. Eye patch covering his now missing left eye. They would pay for that..He now stopped in like a park little place and began punching a tree in frustration.Basterds!He snarled. His knuckles turning red with blood dripping down them.

With Lanny and his girlfriend getting things for Raimi and the new dog, James set out to take a quick patrol of his 'territory' and check up on some local members. He almost laughed out loud when he spotted Sasuke, "I'll be damned, if it isn't Chachi!" James chuckled cynically, "What did that tree ever do to you?" The Italian new better than to get too close to Sasuke. He carried a nice scar on his arm from where the kid's blade cut him last time.

He stopped punching the tree when he had heard the foot steps and then the voice.He tunred his head to face him.Now showing James the eye patch on his left eye.Shut the fuck upHe snarled through gritted teeth.His hand went to his sword and he griped the handle.He turned around fully now and glared at him with his one red eye.He was not in a perfect mood you could say.

Sasuke's response brought a fresh laugh from the young man, "I'm sorry, did I hit a nerve there?" His words were nothing by mocking arrogance, as he held his lean, toned arms folded in front of his chest, "Nice eye patch, kid." Was Jame's next comment, as he looked to the new article, "Either you aren't that good with swords, or you got tangled with the wrong crowd? Did you let that hot mouth of yours rattle off to the wrong person?" In all honesty, James didn't know what had happened to Sasuke's eye.

He glared at him.Im an expert swordsmen, If it wasn't for those fucking assholes... So we killed one of them and they take it personally..He snarled and then he remembered ethans words of how they plan to tell the cryptic silver gang that the akatsukie's were responsible for three of their gang members dieing.He growled but wasn't sure if that man had spread that yet. His hand tightened on his sword.He refrained from saying anything at the moment.

"Oh, I almost forgot about that... you're a ninja, of course." Always with the taunting. But there came a more serious look to James when he heard Sasuke's last comment, "Just who did you kill, anyway?" He had yet to be contacted by ATHA, but it wouldn't be long now before Ethan sent the word out.

He snorted.I killed no one, Some guy named Ethan sent someone to our place asking to set up a meeting and Zabuza was there and said fine but they had to come to our place and the guy was a complete idiot so Zabuza hacked him into pieces.He cracked his neck lightly.Yet they take out their anger on me when i have done nothing...He said.He wondered if he should tell this guy about the three but then again who said he would believe him?

A thin, dark eyebrow was raised, "Man, I thought you guys were unstable before... but killing someone because they annoy you! Phew, now that is what I call crazy." He exclaimed, just trying to dig under Sasuke's skin with his words. "I hate to tell you kid, but around here, you're guilty by association. That's how it works with gangs." Remain level-headed and cool, James thought over the name that Sasuke had said. Ethan? Well, there was that hunter that lived in the cabin... but what would a group of hunters want with the Akatsuki?

He snared and then drew his sword out.Shut the fuck up! I have something that might interest youHe hissed. He would attempt to foil Ethans little plan.This same guy is planning on making you even more angry at my gang. He apparently knows of three of your own members who have been killed,He plans on telling you that my gang killed them, This is not the truth.He hissed his sword still out in front of him just in case ethan did tell him.

In reaction, James drew his pistol out, but didn't point it up at Sasuke yet. All of the previous arrogance was swept from his face when the younger kid mentioned the three murders, "What did this Ethan guy look like? Listen, punk, if you're fucking with me..." Jame's teeth were clenched tight, and his teeth bared slightly, "...I won't just take an eye out, I'll blow your damned head off!" It was touchy business to talk about his slain family, and it put James on guard.

His lip twitched but he didn't move and lower his sword.Im not. They are furious with the akatsuki's and they know the goverment nad the mayor are on our side so it won't look good for them to destroy us themselves.he hissed.He then told him what ethan looked like.look , Maybe you guys and the akatsuki's can team up to take these mongrels out, They are a threat to both of us

"Team up with you?" James spat, "The CS doesn't team up with anyone buy our own kind, got it?" His eyes narrowed, but he lowered his pistol more, before shoving it in his pocket. "But how about this - we'll leave you alone if you leave us alone. A truce." He was now certain that he knew who this Ethan fellow was, even if he hadn't really spoken to the man before. What confused James was the why ATHA would attack the Akatsuki. Not much was known about ATHA, aside that they were into hunting, and it was known they did a lot of pit fighting and animal trading. "And one other thing..." James said as an afterthought, while typing up a text to send to one of his own members, "...can you spy on ATHA for us? If you do that, maybe we can work something out."

He listened and shrugged and then placed his sword back.We are having our two spies start up a mission to spy on them so what ever they find out we'll send your way and anything you find out send our way...He said.His eyes or rather eye staying on James carefully trying to make sure he wasn't trying any tricks.

"Deal." Going against his better judgement, James stepped forward and put his hand out to shake with Sasuke's. It little show of trust. "I've just sent someone out to look for Ethan as we speak."

He reached out to take the other mans hand and then removed his hand.Fine, Shall we set up a meeting place, or shall we just send a member to each others place once we find out things about them?

"We'll keep it simple. If you find anything, come to my place. The Candlehouse appartments. And if I hear anything, where do you live?" James asked, his brows furrowed in seriousness.

He nodded.We live at 174 Division Street, Are next door neightbor is actually in with ethan too so you'll want to be extra careful comming around, And don't worry Ill make sure Zabuza doesn't answer teh door cuz he might just be in a bad mood and won't hesitate to hack yah into piecesHe gave a smirk lightly.It was friendly smirk

"Living right next to the enemy, huh?" James remarked, "Spying shouldn't be too hard for you then." He then gave a single nod to Sasuke's last sentence, "And I'll be packing my own heat just in case." The mob leader said with a laugh, patting the side of his pants where the pistol was now tucked away.

James looked up as a streak of lightning snaked across the sky. "Well, it's been nice doing business with you, Sasuke." He said, using the kid's real name for once, rather than a derogatory slang. "Hopefully we'll be hearing from eachother soon." With a final look to the ninja, James headed away.

He just nodded and then ran off toward hom e knowing it be good if those basterds saw him again right now.
