Xfile: A Mystery Unfolding

It was cold, so very cold. Kai's eyes bore down into his legs as he lay scrunched up into a ball. Another day, another set of tears streaming down his face and softening the fabric on his worn jeans. It made him wonder, why did he continue on with this self-induced torment? All of this could be changed if he just made an effort to try, but was it fear? Was it fear that kept him stuck in his current world? Wrapping its slimy arms around him to drag him back into despair.

Kai couldn't really tell much except that it hurt, it hurt to be alone. Without a friend he could really consider his own. He had the Blitzkrieg Boys, but what could they do so far away? Nothing, they could send kind words, but what else? Nothing. They couldn't comfort him when he was in need, they couldn't protect him from the harsh words of his comrades. Kai was all alone, and what where there to do? Just go on walks, everyone thought him to be unsociable that way, but who were they to decide? They were the ones that put him off in the first place.

Kai's eyes flickered in the direction of his phone as it violently shook warning him of a new text. It was a text from an Anonymous number. How ominous. A hand reached out to grab the phone and bring to his chest. He flicked open the phone and examined the message.

Hey Kai! How have you been! Ages since we last saw you. Saw you on tv and it reminded me to call you again! The gang really wants to talk to you some more so why dontcha come down to the café for a looksee? We'll be at XCore where we used to hang out, k? kbai! –Demire

How was it that when you always needed help you got it? What was this a fairy tale? Despite these cynical thoughts Kai shut the phone and proceeded to dress to go out the door. His hair was fairly mussed up from crying, but nothing that a short pat down wouldn't fix. He grabbed his leather coat and marched out the door, passing some of his "teammates" on the way. Of course team spirit was rather lacking in the Bladebreakers, but hey, they at least weren't talking to him. Wait, nevermind. The call of Kai escaped the lips of the hyperactive blue haired blader as the pounding steps of his shoes resounded throughout the home.

"Where are you going, Kai? Can I come too?" A very evident try of friendship, but honestly, meeting some of his ex-gang would not put Tyson in a good mood.

"You can't come, Tyson and it is none of your business." It was so easy to say things, but it was even harder to say things that you felt. Kai turned and left through the oak door leaving a rather disappointed boy behind him.

Turning the corner, Kai walked down the concrete sidewalk thinking about what would happen. It had been over a year since he had last seen them. The Blade Sharks had just been a cover up group for his real gang, Xfile. Xfile was a serial group of criminals that all took different code names. Kai was known as Raiden, after the Japanese god of thunder and lightning, Kai had a way with computers which allowed him to hack into computers with ease.

Demire was the trickster of their little squad. She had shoulder length brown hair and had a great tact for confusing people. She was not small, but she could act as innocent as a baby if she tried. She was as delicate as a butterfly when Kai last saw her so no one could object to naming her Chou.

Mikhail was known as Makoto, their ticket into all high class organizations with his kind straight face. But that wasn't Mikhail's only talent. Mikhail had a certain…. Obsession with guns you might call it. Show him a gun and he could tell you the name, the rounds it fired, and even when the patent for it came out. Mikhail could be kinda geeky around guns, but who cared, it helped out in a fight.

And lastly was Courtney, who they decided to call Rei. Courtney didn't especially stand out except for the fact she was quiet. But not the shy type of quiet, the quiet that made you think that she had some horrible kind of death planned out for you. Courtney was their strategist. With a computer in her hands she could map out an entire building with the help of Kai and direct her teammates in the event of a battle.

Together, Xfile was one of the most terrifying gangs in Japan for 2 years. Their biggest job was when they were hired to hack their way into a beta for a game coming out soon and deliver the data to a competitor. The original maker of the game lost millions as their enemy released their game earlier and sued for copyright. No one even knew that Xfile did it, except for the members of Xfile and their employer.

Turning the corner onto the street leading to the shop, XCore, Kai was met by a brown haired flurry. Knocked off his feet, Kai's red eyes turned up to glare at Demire who was now squeezing him to death. It was hard to glare for long because of the obvious glee in her eyes. Demire was about 5'4 with an angelic smile, you could almost see the halo above her head! Bouncing off of Kai, Demire helped pull Kai up with the smile still plastered on her face.

"Missed you, Raiden! Now come! Rei and Makoto are waiting!" Kai found himself dragged into the shop and thrown in front of a table. Crashing down onto his knees, Kai was thrown off for a second before he stood up and brushed himself off, glaring at Demire in the meantime. The laughter escaping Mikhail obviously didn't help much either as the entire spectacle was hilarious to watch. The great Kai Hiwatari, the strong silent type, was being tortured by a girl nearly 6 inches shorter than him.

"Shut up, Makoto. Can't you see Raiden in uncomfortable?" After receiving a warning from Courtney, Mikhail quickly shut his mouth. Feeling the uncomfortable aura surrounded the table, Demire drew a chair for Kai and plopped down in another chair.

Silence enveloped the tabled before Demire decided to pose a question, "Wanna come back to us, Kai?"
