Hey folks, sorry about the Delay, my computer had a stupid virus and I couldn't access anything I needed. I had managed to write the first half of this chapter before it went haywire. Thats all your going to get, so this chapter is shorter than the norm, I know, I know, How dare I, Well, I do Dare, I I did do, and now my lines are confusing people.

Nah, It's just that I have to get this virus fully removed, and My computer might actually have to be wiped clean, so I decided to post what I had ready before that happens

So, Onward we March...

Hopefully you will all listen to some good music while you read this, like some Manchester Orchestra, maybe a song called Everything to Nothing, maybe you will.

Anyways, I don't own Kekkaishi, (Awesome Disclaimer) (disclaimer)


Chapter 6

It was all a set up…wasn't it…

Yoshimori was standing inside the restaurant's bathroom, fed up with this morning, "AAGHHH, Damnitall, he always thinks he knows everything about everything!" He was referring to his elder brother, and he had a bad habit of getting pissed every time he talked with him. Yoshi had moved to the sink, and was glaring at himself in the mirror as he thought aloud, "I can take it when Dad does it, but I just hate it when Masa brings up Tokine!...stupid brother, thinks he knows so much about girls, I've never even seen him associating with one other than for work!"

In his anger he threw water in his face, then he grabbed a napkin from the dispenser and began to dry his face off, as he did, another thought triggered, "Wait…he hasn't really lectured me this morning, and even with the girl thing, it was more like he was actually trying to be nice…something smells fishy…that's not like him at all…this must mean he's either trying to set me up to look like a fool, or its some kind of trap…he's never nice to me for no reason…now I wonder what he was gonna ask me…it must be some kind of trap…buttering me up to let me fall…well…," Yoshi's thoughts drifted to words, "Well, I won't fall for it!"

He triumphantly crumbled up the napkin he had been drying his face with, slammed it in the trash can, and turned towards the exit, "No Freaking way will I be suckered by you stupid brother…"

Whoa…we'd better make haste…

Masamori sat at their table as he finished off the last sip of his tea, across from him sat an untouched carton of coffee milk; he was getting a bit impatient as he had been quietly waiting for his brother to come back from the bathroom for a good ten minutes now, "Geez, what's taking that kid so long?"

He wondered to himself because he knew that they had a train to catch and they couldn't afford to miss another one, "What time is it anyways, it's got to be getting close to time to go," he glanced around the restaurant and found a clock on the wall, It read 7:18, "Wow, time sure does slip if you don't pay attention to it, we've only got about ten minutes till the train departs…"

He glanced toward the bathroom once again, "Well, I'm sure he'll be out soon enough…but in the meantime I better pay the bill," he stood up and headed off towards the front of the restaurant where the cash register was. He noticed Jen walking out of the Kitchen, so he hailed her, "Hey Jen, can I pay the check now?" She looked to him, "Sure." She walked behind the bar, in the direction of the register, Masa followed suit on the opposite side, and as they approached the register, Jen posed a question, "Where did your brother take off too?"

"Oh he's still In the restroom," Masa handed some cash over, "he needs to hurry up so we don't miss our ride."

Jen had worked the register while Masamori had replied, placing the money Masa had handed her in one slot, and then retrieving his change from two others, as she handed it over, "Oh I see, well hopefully he'll hurry up…here's your change." Before Jen could hand the cash over, Masa stuck his hand out straight, as if to say stop, "You keep the change."

Jen smiled then replied, "Thanks." Masamori was turning away from her, "No problem," and now that the exchange had finished, he headed to the bathroom so he could hurry his brother up.

As Masa neared the restroom, Yoshimori came slamming out of it with a look of anger upon his face. Masa looked down at him, "What the hell's got you so worked up?" Yoshimori lifted his head slowly to meet Masa's stare, he let Masa have the best glare he could muster, "You do."

"What did I do?" Masa's last comment got Yoshi frustrated, he moved in close to Masa, If he had been as tall as his brother, he would have moved in close enough to be in his face, "Nothing at all, or at least not what you usually do, Your being all nice, and it's freaking me out, You only act nice in order to get me to do something, that or to make me look like an idiot, and you haven't pulled your stupid I'm better than you speeches out yet…that ain't normal, what the heck were you planning on asking me before our waitress walked up wallago, cause don't think I'm stupid enough to fall for whatever it is!"

Masamori slyly grinned down at his brother, "Kids gotten a bit more sharp…hasn't he."

Yoshi waited for a reply, but all he got was a stupid grin! "Hey, you heard me, what is it you want!"

Masamori finally answered him, "Who knew, you're not as dumb as you used to be…The truth is that I need your help with some work at the shadow organization, and I figured it would be easier to convince you If I acted nice instead of getting you all worked up." Yoshi gave him one hell of a satisfied look, "HA, I knew it! There was no way we'd get along so well on normal circumstances, we don't really ever get along unless were not getting along, if that makes any sense."

"Yeah, Maybe," Masamori turned away after he spoke, he motioned to leave, but was stopped by Yoshi, "Hey, where do you think you're going, you haven't even told me what you want me to help you with!"

Masamori only turned his head to face Yoshi, "I don't need to tell you that."

"What the hell, you expect me to just blindly follow you without any information, Do you think I'm stupid or something!"

"Hmmm…no not stupid, just ignorant, If you didn't notice, we have less than five minutes to catch our train, let's go," so Masa began heading to the door.

Yoshi ignored him, he crossed his arms and stayed put, he wasn't in the habit of listening to his brother when he told him what to do, "No way am I gonna listen to you, when you won't tell me what I want to know." Masa retorted, pretty much ignoring Yoshi's reply, "Just shut up and come on or we'll miss the train...and don't forget your backpack, you left it by the table." Masa made his way outside just seconds after, not giving Yoshimori a chance to comeback, so Yoshi just clenched his fists and let out an irritated growl. He stomped his way back to the table and snagged his bag, threw it on his back, then rushed out after his brother.

As Yoshimori walked outside he saw Masa leaning against a pole with his back turned away from Yoshi. Noticing the sound of the door closing behind him, Masa shifted his gaze towards it, "You Ready?" He was speaking to the now present Yoshimori, so Yoshi just blandly replied, "Yeah."

"Alright, let's move," Masa moved into a standing position off the pole he was leaning on, as he did so, a loud, unfamiliar voice rang out, "Final Boarding Call!" Masa grinned at Yoshi, "It would seem that we have perfect timing…" Yoshi just gave a mmm-hmmm and walked on toward the train, Masa was quick to follow.

They approached the man who had called out for final boarding, "Might I see your tickets?" Masa flashed his ticket while Yoshimori handed his over to the man. "Looks good fellas," he handed Yoshi's ticket back over, "have a nice ride." Masamori then stepped up onto the train, Yoshi followed suit, quickly traversing the few steps up and followed his brother into the cabin. "Whoa, check it out, this is a pretty nice!"

Yoshi was fairly impressed with the place, "You think they serve breakfast on this train?"

"Probably, but there's no need, we'll go eat when we get off the train."

"Well, I guess I can wait, Dad did make me breakfast this morning, It should tide me over." Masa laughed, "Well, I would watch how much you eat anyways, you haven't really been keeping up with training at all have you, you're liable to get fat if you don't watch it."

Yoshimori gave him a sour look, "Wha- I'm not gonna get fat, you can it!"

"It's a JOKE", gee…well, what do you say we go get in our seats before this train starts moving." Masa didn't wait for an answer, as he moved on to their private cabin. After Masa put a few feet between them, Yoshimori started to follow, as he walked, he took in the look of the rail car.

There were about twenty passenger seats in this one car, not a single one was filled, "Guess it makes since, it's still early and they said where we were going was an outlying area." The walls and the roof were made up of nice wood paneling and the windows were laced in gold trim. Overall it was…nice.

Yoshi noticed that his brother had passed through a door with a single window at eye level on it, so he hustled up and passed through the door. As he closed it behind him, he saw two people board the train through the window on the door, a man and a woman, the man was quite tall and wore a tan trench coat. The woman looked like his polar opposite, standing a good foot or two shorter than the man, she wore flashy designer clothes that were quite form fitting. "Guess we're not the only ones on the train after all."

Yoshi had that simple thought just before He heard his brother call out to him, "Two cabins down on the right."

So Yoshi made his way down and entered the cabin, it was pretty simplistic, one big window looking outside, it was covered in shades, and two benches/beds sat opposite of each other, one on the right and one on the left when you entered the room. Masa had taken the one on the right, so Yoshi motioned to sit in the one opposite of Masa, but right as he did, the train did an initial jolt for takeoff, propelling Yoshimori sideways into the seat.

Masamori stifled a laugh, "You alright?" Yoshi snapped back, "Course I am!" He straightened himself out, removed his backpack, and settled into his seat.

Both brothers stared out the window as the objects outside began to slowly move, or at least that's the illusion that the slow rolling train gave off. A train whistle sounded and the train took up its full speed.

"Well," Masamori interrupted the silence, "Now that there's no distractions, we can get finally get down to business."

"Oh yeah, my mind kind of drifted elsewhere…what kind of help do you need from me?"

Masa's face took on a look of seriousness, "Well…"


Well, There it is, tell me what you think, and if you have any guesses for where this story is going, throw em' at me, and I'll laugh meniacally as I change the storyline if someone gets it right.

I wouldn't ACTUALLY do that.

You guys Take it easy.
