Description

Followup to the Naoto crime boss story, this time with Yukiko becoming a potential competitor...

Panel 1: "Chie! It's great to see you again! How are you?" The manager in training of the Amagi Inn asked. Chie sighed, "Been better... I shouldn't talk about police business, but recently two people have gone missing." Yukiko raised an eyebrow, "Missing? Wait you don't mean like..." The brown haired cop looked to the side, "Yeah... it's following the same pattern as it was last time. People showing up on TV, and then disappearing." Chie paused as if hesitating to say something. "What's freakin me out is that the missing persons are Yu and Naoto." Yukiko covered her mouth as she gasped, "No... Chie we have to find them!" Chie stood up, "I know, I'm gonna figure out as much as I can from the station... maybe even have a word with Adachi to see what he knows..." She opened the sliding door of the inn room, "I'm gonna let Yosuke and Kanji know about this too, and we can try to get back into the TV world." As the cop left the room and began to close the door behind her she said, "I know how much he meant to you, but please don't do anything dangerous without the rest of us. We'll meet up soon ok?"

Panel 2: Yukiko was despondent after hearing the news about her missing friends. "How is this possible? The TV world should have disappeared after we stopped-" The TV in her room flicked on, and she heard that familiar static noise from all those years ago. With her eyes glued to the TV the static began to clear as a figure came in view. "Helloooo, and welcome to the brand new Midnight Channel." Yukiko looked at the figure. She was like a femme fatale straight out of one of those noir films from the West. "But why does she look so familiar..." The bluenette bombshell gave a sweet yet sadistic smile as she continued, "I know you're watching Miss Amagi~"

Shock and realization hit the black haired girl like a tidal wave, "It can't be! Naoto?" It also occurred to her that the figures on the Midnight Channel weren't able to see the people that were watching before... just what was going on?" "I bet you have all sorts of questions, but all you need to know right now is that I'm doing alright, never better in fact!" The camera panned as the femme moved across the room, "As is my darling fiance~" Yukiko gasped as she saw a familiar gray haired boy strapped down in a chair. He was clad in a pinstripe suit like he was straight out of a mafia movie, but didn't have the demeanor to match. He looked exhausted and confused, weakly struggling against some unknown process. "I know you wanted him all to yourself too Miss Amagi, but unfortunately your dashing prince is all mine now. I'm reaching out to give you closure, and a warning: Don't come looking for us." The TV shut off suddenly as Yukiko was left to process what just happened. "She's got Yu..." She suddenly clenched her fists as she got up and went to get changed "I'm getting him back."

Panel 3: It had been years since Yukiko had been in the TV world, but the only thing that looked familiar this time around was the fog and eerie yellow sky. As she moved through this new derelict city she noticed a lively looking bar that stood out from the rest of the buildings. It looked like a Japanese bar out of the mid 20th century, replete with cigarette smoke and the smell of booze. Having no other leads she entered, feeling her jacket first to make sure her ceremonial Tanto had come with her to the TV world.

She scanned the room, and saw a thuggish looking figure sitting at a table for two. "If anyone would have information on a mafia boss it would be this man" she thought. She took the empty seat at his table. "Can I help you Miss?" the shifty looking man said. "I'm gonna cut to the chase, I'm looking for a blue haired woman who looks like she's straight out of a mafia movie." The man leaned back in his chair, and stroked his chin. He was wearing sunglasses, but she could tell that he was sizing her up. "Yes... you're just the person we need in charge..." Yukiko raised an eyebrow at that, "In charge of wha- MMPH!" A sweet smelling rag cut off her sentence as she slowly drifted out of consciousness...

Panel 4: "Ugh...What happened." Yukiko opened her eyes to find herself in what looked like an Inn bedroom. She sat there perplexed, "Was that all a dream? The Midnight Channel, Naoto and Yu dissappearing?" As she looked around the room her stopped on a mirror, her bare back in the reflection. "That's... not possible..." she trembled as she saw a red dragon tattoo plastered on her bare back. Her mind ran at a million miles a second. Why did she have a tattoo? What happened after she got knocked out? What had those men done to her? The door to her room slid open before she could consider the questions any longer, "Boss, I'm here to give the morning brief- AH!" Yukiko gasped as a scary looking man stood in her doorway. The man stood motionless for a moment, but suddenly fell to his knees. He rapidly bowed in apology, "Forgive me boss! I only entered because you are on a strict schedule!" She blushed at that "B-boss?" The man raised his head "Uhhh, are you feeling alright this morning Mam? Did you not get a good night's sleep after the meeting yesterday?"

Yukiko gave a puzzled look at this revelation, as a tinge of yellow seeped into her gray eyes. "Yesterday... what happened yesterday." Memories slowly began to flash through her mind as she recalled how she had been born into a prominent Yakuza family, the Amagi Clan. Since she was an only child she had inherited leadership of the clan upon her father's passing. However, recently the clan had faced competition from a Mafia family run by a slutty looking bluenette. She gave as a wicked smile as her new identity cemented itself, "Get out of my room, and be at my office in five minutes you bastard." The thug got up and ran, smart enough not to defy his boss's orders.

Panel 5: "Here's the deal, we're gonna get the clan together and finish this slut off before she can interfere anymore." Yukiko smiled as she gave her orders to her underlings. She stood over them in her black business suit, fitting for a Yakuza Boss like herself. "However, if we can't finish them off here, we at least have to steal what matters most to them." One of the thugs raised his hand and asked, "You mean their booze?"

Yukiko scowled as she smacked her imbecilic underling across the face. "No you moron! We're gonna take that boyfriend of hers that she's parading around!" She glared around the room, smirking once she saw that all of her subordinates looked away in fear. "We get him, and we have leverage on her. You all know your assignments so get your asses in gear!" "YES MAM!" They all said in unison as they rushed out of the room, leaving Yukiko to herself. She sighed in satisfaction, "Soon you'll be back where you belong Yu... right at my side."
