Ryushu sat in the one place he felt comfortable. The dark. Something wasn't adding up. He couldn't put his finger on it but it was there. Like a sentence on the tip of your tongue. He knew it had something to do with Kazu Proma. Hotaru's new boyfriend. He seemed like a nice kid, but something just put him on edge. He glanced at the only light in the room. The green numbers of the stove clock. It read the time as 1:28. Ryushu got to his feet and grabbed a shirt as he, literally, walked through the door. The power of darkness had its uses, such as allowing him to leave without being detected.
Michiru yawned as she walked down the stairs. She had woken up early and decided to get a head start on breakfast when the smell of food met her nose. She slowly walked into the kitchen and saw Ryushu cooking some eggs. "Morning." He said without even turning around. Kami that irritated her. Which, of course, was why he did it. Michiru was about to respond when she saw that his eyes looked tired. "Were you up all night?" She asked. "Close to it. Don't ask." Michiru knew from experience when Ryushu said not to ask about something, you don't ask. "I'm going out. I'm going to see if I can find out a bit more about this Kazu." "Kazu? You mean Hotaru's new boyfriend?" "Yep." The aqua haired Senshi rubbed her temples. "And why are you going to stalk her boyfriend?" "One: I do not stalk. Ok I do. But not this time. Two: Something's off about him." "And three?" "It keeps me occupied." She rolled her eyes as he put on a leather jacket, grabbed his keys, and walked right through Haruka as the blond walked in. "Do you have to do that?" Sailor Uranus asked. "Saves time." And with that the most unstable member of the senshi walked out and hopped on his motorcycle. "One of these days, he's going to go to far. And when it happens…." What was going happen was lost as Setsuna walked in and said, "He is going to phase right through you." Michiru found herself agreeing with the Senshi of time. But she didn't voice her opinion.
Meanwhile.
Kazu, as well as the rest of Public Security Section Nine, talked amongst themselves before the meeting. They didn't see each other all that often, so when they did, they made sure to do some catching up. Kazu got a drink from one of the operator's as Major Kusanagi walked in. "Ok guys. Enough chitchat. The Chief wants to have the meeting now. "Nice to see you to." Kazu joked as he sipped his drink. After a moment the Chief walked in. "This new threat is unlike any we have dealt with before. Kazu has brought us some specimens. They appear to be made of a clay-like material which use's a type of energy unknown to modern man. Kazu, anything to add?" The 15 year-old got to his feet and, after brushing his newly bleached hair away, connected to a terminal and showed the battle as it was through his eyes. "The Sailor Senshi fought these things to a practical standstill." One clip was Sailor Nemesis's battle-axe destroying a wall, then him hitting one of the creatures. "Here Nemesis's power is shown as he breaks a wall a foot thick. However the same hit on one of these creatures, knocks it down, and it soon gets to its feet." "Thank you," said Aramaki as he stood up again. "We have dubbed these creatures, Clay-thing, due to their distinct structure. We have been authorized to use any means to defeat them. Any thing to add, Kazu?" "Yes one. After my battle I witnessed The Sailor Senshi powering down and becoming my girlfriend and her friends. I recommend we keep an eye on them." "Good idea. Operator," Before another word could leave the chief's mouth an alarm went off. "Intruder alert. Section 9, find him!"
The intruder in question was Ryushu. From a coffee shop across the street he saw Kazu, as well as some odd people walking into a government building. A master of patience, Ryushu waited and counted to 1000. When he hit one thousand, he walked outside and into an alley. There he changed into Sailor Nemesis and, through a back door, stormed the place. One thing quickly made itself clear. Whatever he was doing here, Kazu was not what he seemed. An army of blond women who looked the same stood in his path. They were deceptively strong and not real. The Senshi of darkness found that out after he punched one's head off and saw circuitry. After dispatching the last of the robots he saw a purple haired women walk over. "At last. Someone who doesn't look like she emerged out of a copy machine. Nice hair." The women responded, "Thank you. Now surrender before I have to hurt you."
Ryushu thought for a second and said, "I'm going to have to say, no!" As soon as the last word left his lips, she ran over, kicked him, and busted his upper lip. Ryushu tried to counter but she jumped above her and kicked him in the face again. After a moment she turned invisible. Ryushu focused and found her. "Impressive. How did you do that?" Her voice came out of nowhere. "Static when you get close. Same kind I heard when I first saw Kazu Proma."
Speaking of the cyborg. "Major, that's Ryushu. One of Hotaru's friends." After a moment the two stood down. "You hit like hell. And I mean that as a compliment." Ryushu told her as he held a rag the bearded man handed him to his lip. "Thanks." A white haired man who Ryushu instinctively knew was the leader walked over. "Kazu has explained to us that you were merely trying to find out the truth. We can all say that we have all done that at some point in our lives. I am Public Security Section Nine Chief Daisuke Aramaki. The one you fought is my field operator and unofficial second in command, Motoko Kusanagi. We call her 'Major." The chief introduced the rest of the team and Ryushu had to admit they were pretty cool. And he didn't even like a majority of his own team.
Aramaki had two requests. After Ryushu powered-down, they went to the meeting room to talk. "My first request is that you never reveal what you have learned here today." Ryushu nodded. "From what I can piece together, you already know that me and the others are the senshi. I can keep your secret if you keep ours." "Deal." Ryushu smiled and sipped some tea one of the blond women, Operator's Batou called them, had given him. "You mentioned two requests." "Yes. You are a very skilled fighter. Which is why I want you to join Public Security Section Nine." Ryushu thought for a moment and nodded. "Why not. I certainly like you more then most of my team. But if you don't mind, I'll stay with the others so no one thinks anything's up." "Agreed." Togasu, who sat next to him, held out his hand. "It'll be nice to have someone different on our team. The major once said, 'over specialize and you breed in weakness'. I don't think we'd find someone like you if we tried." Ryushu grinned and shook Togasu's hand. "I think I'm going to like I here."
