Chapter 11 – More Questions Emerge
(Naomi, Iza, Imazira, and June are sitting in the front room of Fantomuyosai. )
Imazira – (sits down on a nearby couch) So what would you like to know?
Naomi – It’s like I asked before, who were those men that were at the party who tried to kidnap me at Satashi’s party.
Imazira – Those men were part of a group called The Shikieshu.
Naomi – The Shikieshu?
Imazira – The Shikieshu are a group of individuals with unusual powers, as you saw with Tatsumaki.
Naomi – So what did they want with me?
Imazira – That’s what we still have yet to figure out/
Iza – Who would want to harm such a cute face…(stares wide eyed at Naomi)
Naomi – Uh, what is she doing?
Imazira – Iza has a thing for cute girls. She is…complicated…Just don’t let her get too close.
Naomi – (easing away from Iza) What happens then?
Iza – (draws closer to Naomi) So…cute…(grabs the back of Naomi’s neck gently)
Naomi – OH MY GAWD!! (pushes Iza’s face away)
Imazira – I warned you
Iza – (pouts) What’s her deal?
Naomi – Anyway aside from that. What are you guys? A few days ago some guy named Xayne shows up with freaky powers and stuff. Now, Iza and Bane show up and easily overtake that guy.
Imazira – Looks like Iza’s Mass Amnesia was not as effective as it should have been.
Iza – I remember a few days after Naomi saw Xayne, it seem like the effects from the memory wipe were wearing off.
Bane – (walks back into the front room) I can’t sleep with you guys making so much noise (yawns) What are you possibly doing that requires you to make so much noise anyway?
Imazira – Answering a few of Naomi’s questions. Which I think have all been answered.
Iza – Does this mean that Naomi has to go?
Imazira – (looking at Naomi) Naomi we are going to be sending you home. It’s important that what we have told remains a secret. If people found out about what we told you then it could cause issues.
Naomi – Don’t worry, my lips are sealed.
Imazira – Bane and Iza make sure that Naomi makes it back to her home safely. It would seem I have to search for more answers.
Bane – All I wanted to do was sleep…*sighs*
[Shikieshu Headquarters]
Tatsumaki – WHY DID YOU HAVE US RUN AWAY, JIGEN?!?
Jigen – That Imazira character…don’t you think something was strange about him?
Tatsumaki – Why do you ask?
Jigen – That technique he used…(remembering Imazira’s Absolute Fear) The only person in the world that can use that technique is Master Kageshihai.
(A figure comes walking down the hall.)
Figure – Sounds like you guys didn’t get that Naomi girl like Master Kageshihai wanted.
Tatsumaki – As if you could have done better, Zero.
Zero – You know for a fact that I would have done better Tatsumaki. Naomi would be sitting right next to me.
Tatsumaki – I hate that you think that. Such a cocky bastard…
Zero – So far as I know, I’m the only one in this entire group that has completed their mission as designated by Master Kageshihai.
Tatsumaki – Tch…(annoyed look)
Zero – So it would seem I have a reason for my cocky behavior…I’m better than the both of you.
Jigen – There is a reason for our failure on retrieving the Naomi girl.
Zero – Oh and what is that?
Jigen – We fought someone by the name of Imazira.
Zero – You two couldn’t fight one person? How embarrassing can you be to the organization?
Jigen – He was able to use the same Absolute Fear technique as Master Kageshihai…
Zero – There’s no way someone else could use that technique…it was created by Master himself…(confused look)
Jigen – My thoughts exactly, and you should know Zero, I have already finished my mission as well.
Tatsumaki – Perhaps we should report this to the higher ups.
