Ten'nyo

Chapter 6

Sam and the Mei Hana

"Okay, we're here. Welcome to my house." It was a clean and rich looking house, stuffed between other rich and well kept houses. Much different then the slum Ten'nyo had been in.

Both Ten'nyo and the woman left the car and began marching toward the cream three story house. The woman undid three locks, each a different key and just as Ten'nyo thinks it's time to go in the woman types an entry in a key pad by the door bell.

"Hey, you can never have to much locks in this city."

Ten'nyo couldn't say anything, she had never been in a city anything like this. They both walked in and the woman redid all the locks and she typed once more on the keypad by the door. The floor was a snow-white carpet, and the walls had an ivory design, on dark cream-colored wallpaper.

"Alright! Lets get you out of those bloody clothes. Oh, by the way," she commented as she pulled her pig tails down, which was quite a chore thanks to the length, "My name is Sam, I got that name 'cause I look Irish or American, something like that. My patents call me Dr. Kohaku, Shinju!"

"Okay, Kohaku-san," Ten'nyo stated politely, man she's energetic.

"No! Call me Shinju-chan."

"Okay, um, Shinju-chan."

Shinju held a hair tie in her mouth as her braided her hair behind her back. Finally with light, Ten'nyo could see all the yellow and red highlights shining through her hair. Shinju wore a black hooded sweatshirt with knives patterned in a sun circle resting on a purple rose. And her jeans were black baring the words Mei Hana in blood red.

Shinju walked through a clean kitchen decorated with glass fruits. A window rested above her sink and stove. A light snow had started falling blowing in the wind picking up slightly. " I need you to stay in here and sit at the table I'll be back with a new shirt for you and the tools I need to get that sucker out."

Ten'nyo nodded, she felt she could say any more. Ten'nyo glance around the room to see it was decorated with more then glass fruits. Glass cabinets held crystal wineglasses. The glass cabinet next to it carried hand-decorated angles of blue and sliver, pink and green, red and gold, and white and pink. On the end sides of the selves glass grapes and cherries shone.

Shinju walked back into the room with a sleeveless light blue shirt, she was in some doctor gear and she held several evil looking objects. She placed all of the down and started a large kettle of boiling water and placed many of the tools in the water.

"That'll sterilize every thing not already in sterile packaging. Sadly for you, the needle's ready. You'll be doped." Shinju grabbed Ten'nyo's arm and gasped.

The arm had a red circle around it and a small black objet was almost popping out of her skin. Ten'nyo's body was healing itself faster then a simple five minute car drive.

"Looks like you won't be doped. Once the equipment's ready I'll pull that bullet out a little more and I think you don't even need stitches, wow never thought I'd say that to a bullet taker. I've never seen anything heal that fast!"

"Yeah it's a gift."

Shinju went back to the boiling water and poured the steaming water into the sink. She left the pot off the heat, and then she grabbed a thick cloth napkin pulling out a steaming evil object. Shinju quickly pulled out the bullet Ten'nyo's arm was rejecting. Shinju placed a Large bandage on her arm and declared it better before sunrise.

"Hey I've got a strange book and I'm curios if you can read it."

Ten'nyo said pulling the pale yellow book from her purple backpack. Shinju brushed through the pages fast, confusion was written on her face, then she stopped and muttered a strange word.

"Kon..de..mu?"

Ten'nyo was blown over, "Read it again real loud!"

"KONDEMU!" Shinju shouted.

Ten'nyo held her arm towards the window, nothing happened, "What, why did nothing happen."

"Nothing happened because I'm playing with you, and," Shinju held her sides and burst out laughing, "You fell for it so hard, I-I can't believe you fell for it! Anyway," wiping the tears from her eyes, "Crystal, I'm sure your tired, how 'bout you go crash in the guest room come on follow me."

"Okay."

As Ten'nyo moved after Shinju a heavy pounding at the door changed the subject.

"I'll get that, you stay hidden." Shinju whispered.

Shinju answered the door and three men burst in, "Sam! The gang from south side's here!"

"What? South side's here? Now?"

"Yeah and they're ready, they shot Bayakko!"

"Is Bayakko…?" Sam had no reason to finish her sentence.

"Yes, he's gone."

"Are the others holding South off?"

"Yeah, they asked for you."

"Crap, why do they want me."

"Because Mei's dead, and you were his favorite."

"Okay I'm going."

Sam ran out the door with the three men dashing off in the wind and snowfall. Ten'nyo made a choice, she wasn't going to let a woman who helped her get hurt. Ten'nyo dashed through the snow curtain after the vague shadows before her, wearing only a light blue sleeveless shirt.

Somewhere down town in the heart of the city a large group of men talked over a round table about the conversation they had just overheard.

"The time is now, we have all we need, let's get her now." A man stated.

"I believe, you are right, now's the time to make the move we've been waiting for. We have to act before several people lose their lives in this mess." A second man interjected.

"What of the new girl, it seems she had no clue what was going on." Chirped a third man.

"She'll be staying at the house, if we lose this window of opportunity, we lose it all. Mobilize the men." The first man said.

"Yes, Sir!" twenty men shouted from behind the group at the table.

"We've got you now Hana." The first man mumbled to himself.

A tall man hunched over and a young child stood tall beside him.

"Man this snow won't help me find some partner-less kid!" the child yelled into the now howling wind.

"Calm down, Tamura, you'll get your chance soon, lets do looking for some, fun, before we check into some hotel.

"Yeah, that sounds good." The small child said liking her lips.
