Yumi stretched her limbs as she climbed out of bed, dressed in a long black silk kimono nightwear. The old woman stretched her arms as she rose from the bed, the sun pierced through the window of the hotel room she was staying in while in Oak. Yumi cracked her neck side to side as she left for a shower deciding to prepare for a new dawn. She had completed a quest yesterday for some kid called Jerr, said child she had worked for once before and another time he was the reason behind a quest resulting in the old lady inflicting discipline upon him. The quest she needed to do for Jerr had been rather simple, distract a wealthy merchant, his guard and a jewel polisher so Jerr could steal the merchant's golden bracelet when it had been put down. To pull it off, Yumi used her familiar Venom, said familiar had awoken to and was gorging on fruit in the kitchen while Yumi showered.

Venom had flown about the polisher's stall knocking and tossing things around. He distracted them enough to allow Jerr to snatch the bracelet, at the same time the familiar had snatched up a similar looking bracelet luring the merchant and guards to give chase to Yumi and Venom. Yumi merely fired a low-powered Death beam into the ground to create a cloud of dust, and send debris everywhere blinding her foes so she could then run off. Yumi had darted into the crowds losing them before moving into an alley to rest and recover while waiting for Jerr to appear. Luckily not long after moving into the alley, he had arrived to pay her.

The old woman dried her hair, having long since got out of the shower and had long since changed into her kimono attire. Yumi tied her sash, having put her socks on first seeing as that was hardest to do if she got into her kimono first. Yumi then left her room, grabbing an apple on the way, Venom flying after her. Moment Yumi opened her door someone was waiting for her. The old woman blinked as the man, he was tall a foot taller than her in a suit bowed, "Are you the one called Carnage?" The old woman raised an eyebrow, "And if I am?" She then took a bite of the apple with a loud crunch. The man pulled out a rolled up parchment and handed it to her.

"We would like to hire you." Yumi unrolled the parchment and began to read, it seemed the Martello Family a new gang that had formed, had captured a member of the rival family Tessio and wanted her to interrogate him to retrieve vital information. This information was regarding a cash transport that the Martello head wished to raid in order to steal the Tessios funds. Yumi swallowed as her familiar floated a meter off the ground next to her, "Very well show me the way."

The man bowed and turned around and started walking, Yumi began to follow.

Yumi sighed as she was taken to an old run down warehouse and escorted inside. In the warehouse was a man tied to a chair with rope. Yumi turned tot he Martello man and barked an order, 'Untie him, it is against my religion to attack a foe while they are bound, it is an a front to my Lord." Yumi in order to get her point across flared her magic making the Martello gang member quiver and follow her orders. Venom simply hovered beside her watching Yumi get to work. Yumi waited patiently as the man was untied. While she waited Yumi flexed her right arm, flicking her left wrist allowing black tongues of mana to engulf her body flowing into her muscles empowering her strength. She could only use her fists but she would use maximum force to get the information that was needed.

The man pushed the Martello aside and ran to escape but Yumi cut him off dashing at full dash speed of 6m/s appearing in front of him. Yumi's right fist struck lightning fast, connecting with the man from the Tessio families solar plexus. The man was unprepared for the sudden attack from what he thought to be a frail old woman. He spat up blood and saliva as he felt her fist bury deep into his stomach. Yumi kicked off the ground appearing behind him and struck right fist connecting with right kidney. The man's eyes widened as he attempted to cry from the pain but no words escaped his lips as he clutched to his knees spewing up blood. Yumi simply looked at him with disdain.

The man coughed up blood as Yumi even with her short stature towered over him on the ground. "Tell me what I want to know about the cash transport or I'll increase the force of those love taps." The man turned and spat at Yumi, blood hitting her right cheek, "Go to hell old hag!" Yumi's eyes narrowed dangerously as a wave of killer intent flooded off her tiny body, he had just pushed her buttons and enraged her. Yumi raised her right hand and backhanded the man across the face sending him across the ground and into a pillar.

Yumi crossed the distance reaching out with her left hand to pull him up, while planting her right in his stomach and twisted making him spew up blood from the impact. The old woman ignored the blood on her clothing as she grabbed him by the back of his hair, "Tell me what i want to now!" "I'll tell I'll tell!" coughed up the man as he took in sharp breaths proceeding to spill what he knew of the cash transport, that it would happen next week even the route they would use.

Yumi dropped him and turned to look at the Martello gang member who gulped as he approached. The man removed a wad of jewels handing them over, "W-W-We'll call again if we need you." He stuttered at the beginning but fixed himself. Yumi grabbed the money and left heading home, Venom following.
