Das Geheimnis Entdeckte!
Rain fell onto the roof of the Kaede House as night began to set down upon the city of Kamakura in the Kanagawa Prefecture of Japan. The lights of the rather large house shone bright against the dark background outside of its walls. Inside the house Yuka and Mayu were working on cooking dinner in the kitchen, while Nana and Lucy were helping Kouta do some maintenance to the houses's attic on the third floor. Elsewhere, Kurama was working on a buisiness deal for the large law firm he was now working for. At the far end of the house's south hallway sat a dark room with its door shut, inside of it sat a bed, a dresser, and several other neccisary items that you'd expect to see in a bedroom. The room was immaculatly clean, but showed no signs of recent use in any of the items inside of it. The room had been Lucy's brother, Kaneda's room until he left to go explore the world and see if Kakuzawa had ended his ambitions to destroy mankind with the Diclonious' Vector virus.
"I miss having Kaneda around" Nana said, as she and Lucy walked pass his empty room. "He made sure that there was never a dull moment, didn't he Lucy?" she said looking at Lucy and noticing a hint of sadness in her look.
"Yeah he was a pretty interesting guy to have around" the taller girl replied looking at Nana with a slight, half-hearted smile. "I wonder if he's okay" she added with a hint of loneliness in her voice.
"What are you guys talking about?" Yuka asked the two Diclonini as they entered the kitchen and cut through to the dining room. She was cooking rice balls and trying to help Mayu finish cooking the Soumen Noodles.
"Nothing really, just about how much we miss Kaneda" Nana replied, not trying to hide the fact that she missed him.
As Nana said that, both Yuka and Mayu had looks of sadness over missing their friend come over their faces. "Yeah, I miss him too" Yuka said as Mayu nodded her head in agreement and Kouta walked into the room.
"What's going on in here, a sadness convention?" Kouta sad sarcastically, trying to help brighten the mood in the room. "Come on guys cheer up, I'm sure he'll come back soon, I mean he just left to travel the world and that was four months ago" he added, trying to keep from admitting that he missed his friend as well.
"Yeah, I guess you're right Kouta, he'll be back soon" Yuka said trying to sound optimistic and putting on a smile as did everyone else.

"Are we ready to proceed Akiso?" Kakuzawa asked the young brown-haired woman, as she stood in the doorway of his office.
"Yes sir, but which target do you want him to go after first? It appears that Kaneda and Lucy have went different ways." She said as she reached the door and awaited his response.
"Send him after Kaneda first. I don't want him interfering with our capture of Lucy again, even Roan can't win if he has to fight both of them" the director said still staring out his office's window towards the sea, and then he waved Akiso away.

Leaves fell down from the trees in the Toukanarya Woods to the east of Kamakura, as a, dark-haired young man with two horns that made Diclonious stand out from normal humans, protruding from his head. He stood at about six foot tall, maybe alittle taller, and was average build for his hieght. He looked to be in his late teens, around 18 or so, and was wearing a black t-shirt, a coffee-brown coat, and faded blue-jeans. His bight piercing blue eyes stood out from under his dark hair and emotionless face. It had been over four months since he had left home and now he was on his way back from traveling the world. Kaneda had seen many sights during his travels and had met several Silipets who had inherited Lucy's natural drive to kill those who hurt them, physically or emotionally, and he had to help show them the right way to live in a world full of humans.
"I wonder if they'tt be happy to see me after so long" he wondered as he continued walking throught the woods. He had about one more day of walking ahead of him before he reached home, and he was ready to get home. As he approached another small town just outside of Kamakura, he reached into his coat pocket and brought out a battered black fitted-baseball hat, which he put over his horns to cover them from sight. He was exiting the woods outside of the small town when a sharp feeling of dread shot through his body.
"N...no way" he gasped, as he suddenly sensed an extremely powerful Diclonious approaching him from a few mile away, but moving quickly.

Just above the city of Kamakura inside the large military transport helicopter, Akiso sat beside the restrained Roan and told him his mission.
"You are to attempt to capture Kaneda and until my order you are not to kill him, understand?" she said, also pointing out that he will be killed if he disobeyed orders. "We can kill you from a distance with the touch of a button" she said, hiding her bluff very well, and almost even forgot that their was no way to kill Roan.
"I understand" Roan replied, his raspy, cold voice striking Akiso with a deep feeling of dread. "And don't even think about lying to me like that, I'm perfectly aware that you have no way of harming me. However, I'm not gonna betray you as long as you fulfill you end of the bargain" he continued, with each word causeing more and more dread to slip into Akiso.
"Good" Akiso managed to say at just above a whisper.
"He's close, I say we stop here and let me meet him halfway" Roan said in his cold, murderous voice. "He knows I'm here, and so do the others."
Upon hearing Roan's words, Akiso quickly ordered the helicopter down, and along with several heavily armed S.A.T. units, she and Roan headed in Kaneda's direction.
