Chapter One: This Mans Chaos

Segawa rushes Takayama to the conference room of the newly rebuilt Douji group headquarters. Takayama seemed a little annoyed being it had only been 3 years since Misane's death and they were requesting him to appear before the board of directors. As he enters the room he sees five men staring at him as if waiting on him in desperation. Takayama sits at the edge of the table waiting patiently for the men to respond of at least acknowledge him. The one at the head, normally Takayama's seat, was the head of the entire division the president of the Douji group itself Matsuda Oku "Reiji you might be wondering why we have called you here." "Just get on with it please. My daughter is waiting for me to spend the day with her. So could you please hurry." Reiji demanded. "Yes of course Mr. Takayama." One of his assistants responded. Matsuda began again "We called you in to offer your old position back. Because of Wado's miscalculations 3 years ago he has been since replaced and sent off to the Ryuku division." Matsuda stands up and walks to the opposite side of the table and stands in front of Reiji. "We have since then made several advancements if the field of the Witchblade itself." Upon hearing the word witchblade Reiji stands up with a disgusted look on his face and furiously argues with Oku "You mean to tell that fiasco three years ago wasn't enough to tell us to stay out of the affairs of the supernatural!" As he continues a tall young man burst through the room's doors with a woman on each of his arms wearing a very expensive black and purple suit. The men look at him as he sits at the head of the table and raise his feet across the table with the women looking at and glaring at the men. He bellows "What's up guys. So did that Reiji moron accept the offer?" Matsuda looks at him very agitated "Manzo Aomori this is Reiji Takayama. The man who will hopefully watch over as you lead the Bio division." Reiji looks at Manzo with a sense of distain in his eyes then back at Matsuda and then nods his head yes "I'll do it. Especially sense the new head of the Bio division looks too young to understand what the company is about. He'll probably run it into the ground if I don't." As Reiji turns around to leave Manzo stands up and slams his hands on the table glaring and peering at Reiji with hate in his eyes and even more in his voice "Hey Takayama!" Reiji stops and looks back into Manzo's eyes "Don't think I'm doing this cause I like you or something. As far as our relationship goes its only so you can help built a better….Witchblade!" Reiji looks a little stunned upon seeing his look Manzo smirks at him. "They didn't tell you did they? Guess I stopped them. Tell him Oku…..Why you really called him out here."
