hey people sorry for not posting for a while stupid computer has bee acting up and well i just haven't felt like writing during the daytime. i think i'm part vampire oh well doesn't matter. time for the chapter.


The days started to run together after that in the morning Akira would pick me up and we would walk to school together, and in the evening Mioku and I would go on jobs. The most trouble for me at school was resisting the urge to set the people I had started to hate on fire. Then came the day when all that changed. It had started out as it usually does but as the day went on I sensed something was wrong with Akira he wasn't acting as he normally did. He still smiled but it wasn't right. "Something has happened to Akira" I say to Mioku on one particular evening around six or seven o'clock. "What do you mean? He looks perfectly fine to me." Mioku says back. "No that's not what I meant. It's not some physical problem like a cuts or scratches more like his heart has changed in some way." I say trying to figure it out. Mioku looks at me "I think I know what your problem is." He says getting out of his chair. "What do you mean by that?" I say felling like he's about to say something I'm not going to like. "What I mean is that he might be one of us." He says looking down on me. "No he-he can't be he is always so sweet and nice that can't change in just one day." I say backing away from my brother. "Might I remind you what happened to us in one day. First we lost our parents and then we became contractors." He says fallowing me. "There is a good chance The Syndicate doesn't know that another star has been born, but until I find out otherwise you are to stay away from him. Also it might be a good idea to stop going to school." I look for any hint of a lie in his eyes but I don't find any. "I don't understand you were the one who was always prodding me to attend school" I say to him "Yes, I know, but now I'm telling you not to." He says stone faced. "You and I know that I can protect myself" I say trying to control my temper. "This isn't about you or how well you can fight. It's about the fact that there is a wild card living right across the street from us." He says raising his voice. "Why can't you just see that he would never hurt me?" I say raising my voice as well. "That was the old him the new him is completely unknown." He says. "I don't have to take this least of all from you." I say voice even. As I turn to go grab my light jacket from the wall hooks in the entry way I feel Mioku's hand grab my wrist "Where do you think you're going?" he says as I turn around ripping my wrist from his grasp. "out." I say putting my shoes on. "Where?" Mioku asks again. "None of your business. I'll be back before twelve" I say opening the door. "Kasani, please, wait." He says a sense of pleading in his voice. "No I'm going out. I just think it's a good idea that we both spend some time to clear our heads" I say turning my head a little, and with that I close the door and start walking towards the subway station.

After Kasani stormed out I had Mika use one of her observer spirits follow her. "Where is she?" I ask pacing back and forth. "Heading near the subway station." she says looking at me with her cat like eyes. "Good." I say going down the hall to grab mine and Mika's coat. "Where are you going?" Mika asks me. "I'm going to follow her there is something fowl in the air tonight and I don't like it, but I won't be alone you're coming with me." I say lightly grabbing her wrist and sliding her jacket on. She nods letting me drag her out the door. The streets by now are almost deserted of people. Every now and then I see the odd mother or father ducking inside a house or apartment from a long days work, but other than that it's completely quiet. "How much farther Mika?" I ask. "Not much only a block or two but we might want to hurry the next train I almost at the station"

I head down the stairs of the station heading for the only place that is as far away from Mioku and Akira that I want to get. The train arrives a little after I do and I ride it till they call out the station I'm waiting for. As I emerge from the underground tunnel a blast of rancid air hits me a combination of car exhaust, the sewer, and rotting fast food. There are tall office buildings surrounding me some with a few lights on making them look like big stone Christmas trees and then there are some that are completely dark. "If I'm right the park should be around here" I say to my self and start walking in the direction I think it's in. Until I get the feeling someone I fallowing me I turn around quickly to see if there is but I see no one. 'Alright if you want to play then let's play.' I think.
