Hello and welcome to chapter 8 of this story! Consider this a late gift to Renn Kiriyama, the actor who plays the beloved half-boiled Shotaro, and I needed some time when I learned that Monty Oum passed away, sadly. Anyway, the continuation of the Cockroach case. Still working on the Movie War story and planning the other crossover stories. A thank you to The Missing 300 again, also I have exciting news.
I have a Double Driver, ordered from Amazon, in the mail, so I can really be a female Philip. ^o^ I'll let you all know when it arrives. Anyway, my qualms with this episode, again with Akiko adding the 'beautiful' part of her question when Shotaro honestly agrees with Dango's concern. I think she has a self-centered mind, so another reason I swapped her with Hermione, but Miss Narumi will appear in the next chapter. So, can't wait for that.
As usual, I don't own any of this, only the idea and the story changes to the base episode, Harry Potter belongs to J. K. Rowling and Bloomsbury Publishing while Kamen Rider W belongs to Toei and Shotaro Ishinomori. My beta-reader for the story is who I call Shotaro, StardustXtreme.
Dear Mom & Dad/Harry & Ron
Something surprising with Philip has happened, there is actually a book he can't read without a certain keyword. For the first time, he actually left the agency. I followed him to make sure he was alright, though I really wanted to go with Shotaro when we received a mystery request about a strange fellow who would appear at a high school. I didn't say anything but it kinda reminded me about when we first met Sirius during my third year.
Anyway, we met Dango, a young carefree street dancer who had split with his partner and was guilty apparently. The reason Philip left was to find him and wanted to learn a dance called Heaven's Tornado. Dango didn't believe me when I told him that I was the chief of the agency. I don't know why though. Seeing him run off, Philip and I tried to follow him, but Philip's duty as Kamen Rider appeared as the Double Driver appeared on his waist. Though I wasn't happy to see that Draco Malfoy had come to Japan.
We managed to follow Dango to the same high school that Shotaro went but the person he was looking for wasn't there, and shocking more, we were attacked by a strange looking cat creature. But the weird thing was I felt like I had seen it before. Luckily, Philip managed to make with a plan to avoid the creature, by jumping into a garage truck.
Chapter 8 Find the C/Dancing Emotions
Seeing his opponent toss the Memories in the air and catching them in its hand, Shotaro shouted, "Give that back!" "Are you stupid?" the Cockroach asked, using its speed to attack him. With the Memories gone, Shotaro couldn't attack or anything in his current form, Philip shouted, "Over here!" After the cockroach knocked him to the ground as well making him dizzy, Shotaro said, concerned, "I can't overcome his speed!" As he tried to get up, Shotaro was knocked to the ground again. Shotaro said, "I have to do it the moment he's in front of me….." Finally managing to dodge an attack, Shotaro changed the Memories to Heat and Metal, his form changing into the red and silver of the Memories.
As the cockroach was about to attack, Shotaro used the heat of the Heat Memory to stop the attack, finally managing to attack with the staff. However, the Cockroach was quick to dodge though it was hit a few times. Like before, the Cockroach took the Heat and Metal Memories, after Shotaro knocked it back, the Cockroach revealed its theft and Shotaro shouted, "What?!" He looked down at the Driver in shock, seeing it empty and folded up. The Cockroach said, "I always carry out my request." As it showed the two sets of Memories, it said, "I'm taking these four GaiaMemories."
The Cockroach ran off, and Shotaro groaned, running after it as he detranformed. He noticed Dango, saddened, and grabbed him, he said, "It's your fault that my Memories were…" "Huh?" He said, despondent. "Things are…. Completely finished between me and her…"
Ignoring Draco being unconscious, Hermione noticed Philip wake up as he sat up, surprised, "Wait a minute! What about Heaven's Tornado?!" 'It's so weird…. Seeing Philip act like this….' Hermione thought to herself, remembering how he was in the previous cases. Managing to get to the agency and tossing her old classmate onto the chair, Hermione smiled to see Shotaro was safe and saw Dango in the agency. Bringing out the letter, she asked him, "Dango-kun, you're the one who threw this letter through the window, aren't you?" Seeing him nod, Hermione calmly asked, "Then why run away? Didn't you believe me when I told you I was the chief of this agency?" "No, Mione-chan, I understand he felt." Shotaro said, patting her head gently.
Hermione looked at him, he smiled and said, "It's reasonable to worry if the chief doesn't look like a member of the family this agency is named after." "True, I lived in the United Kingdom most of my life and still learning my Japanese, not to mention I'm only a godchild to the owner." Hermione said, smiling and blushing embarrassed. Shotaro smiled and looked at Dango, asking, "More importantly, how did you know she was targeted?" "I was the one who made the request with the Dark Pest Exterminator." Dango revealed, looking guilty about his action. Hermione and Shotaro looked at each other and said at the same time, "What….?" Though his hood was over his head, Philip looked at him, curious.
By this point, Draco woke up but Hermione silenced before he could say anything as Dango explained, "I was just letting out some frustration on an Internet broad. On a whim, I said I wanted her to die." "Why did you want such a stupid thing?" Shotaro said, his hand on Hermione's shoulder now. Dango said, "We were doing so well a year ago…. She spent all her time thinking about our dancing….. I loved her one track thinking. She was the best partner. We said we'd take on the world. We started practicing our original technique, Heaven's Tornado. But….. soon after that, she stopped coming to dance practice. She suddenly joined the swimming club. I asked her so many times…. But she…. Didn't tell me why."
"I lost it." Dango explained. Everyone in the room kept quiet, listening to him. Dango continued, "One day, I happened on a underground site. I didn't think it was for real!" "That's what you get for being stupid." Draco said, after that, he was suddenly hit on the head by a swipe chop of Hermione's hand, Dango just continued, "But…. I learned people whose names were on that site were killed for real!"
"And that's when you made your request with us… in that childish way." Shotaro said, finally having all the pieces together. Hermione sighed, "I can understand it was hard to have a falling out with a close friend. I have seen a few, but that was completely selfish!" "I never had a falling out with anyone." Draco said, inputting his voice but froze under a hard glare from Hermione. Shotaro suddenly spoke, "I've got it." Everyone looked at him and he said, "For now, we do what's needed. First….." "If you make up with her, you'll be able to do Heaven's Tornado, right?" Philip said, Hermione sweatdropped, 'He really wants to see it…'
"Huh?" Shotaro and Draco said at the same time, Hermione nervously laughed, thinking what she couldn't bear to say, 'Philip, I don't think this is really the best time.' "First, we have to find that Dopant and take care of him!" Shotaro shouted, upset. "He's stolen four of our Memories!" "Got it. Later." Philip left to the investigation room, Shotaro tried to stop his partner, "Hey, wait! How am I supposed to find the punk without your lookups?" "Go look for him yourself, simpleton." Draco said, sitting causally. However, Hermione hit him on the head, she said, "This case has nothing to do with you, Malfoy. But when it's over, do explain why you're here." Dango and Shotaro backed away from her since she was emitting an aura that they didn't dare to tread.
Meanwhile, Philip entered the Planet Bookshelf and began for books under the keywords, 'Boys and girls', 'fight', and 'reconciliation', though it wasn't enough to reduce it. Heading to one of the shelves, he looked through one of the books and decided what he read will work. When Hermione surprised Shotaro by setting the Bat Camera on his person so she could be with him as he went to meet with one of the info brokers, she said she'll formally introduce her classmate when the case was over, Shotaro only rode out on his motorcycle and thought, 'I didn't have a choice. With Mione-chan's encouragement, I used a purely analog method for finding the dark punisher. '
Finding a familiar sign and a familiar phrase, Shotaro ran to it and said, "Santa-chan. You called me just now, you said you had something; what is it?" "Hold this." Santa-chan said, giving him his sign and reached into his bag. "You want info on Gokistar, right?" "Yeah." Shotaro answered, when Santa-chan showed him some kind of comic, he asked, "What's this?! A manga?" Santa-chan swapped his side for the manga as he gave it to Shotaro, Santa-chan explained, "This is a doujinshi being distributed underground. The incidents are occurring just like in the stories, so rumors are that Gokistar himself is the creator."
"A murder notice in manga form?" Shotaro pondered, looking through the manga. "He's pretty cocky. It's like he's saying, 'You can't catch me!'" "There's no publisher on it." Santa-chan said, "It's pretty hard to find out anything about this book." "Wait a moment," Shotaro said, looking through it one more time. "If you look at Fuuto Tower from this angle…. Is this landscape from Kaedechi?" "It's true." Santa-chan said, examining with Shotaro. "It looks pretty real." Shotaro didn't see Santa-chan slip a present into his pocket, another gift he wanted to give to Hermione. Shotaro concluded, "If this is actual scenery then…. This apartment is the punk's base." He turned to a page to see what else was at the location he saw and found his answer
Sitting back in the investigation room, Hermione sat on the futon and sighed in relief, having told Draco that this room was only for those who took the cases seriously. She did wonder where Philip ran off to and sighed, worried about him and hoped that he was alright. Hermione began to wonder if she should have gone with him and wondered if Shotaro managed to find where the Dopant wielder was staying from the clue of the doujinshi he got from Santa-chan.
Reaching the area in the doujinshi, Shotaro wondered to himself, "If this is the place in the picture then…. No doubt about it." He found the apartment complex in the doujinshi and walked up to the apartment of the Dopant, ready to get his four GaiaMemories back.
After getting a sudden call from Philip, Hermione covered Dango's eyes and heard him ask, "Hey! What is it all the sudden?! What do you plan to do with me?!" "I'm not sure honestly." Hermione said, pushing him into the open space of the RevolGarry. "Ask Philip." Feeling himself bump into someone, Dango removed the blindfold and found Chizuru who also had been blindfolded and removed hers. The two were shocked to see each other, both saying each other's name, "Chizuru…." "Dango…." Dango wondered, "Why are we here?" They didn't see until it was too late the sides of the RevolGarry folded up, trapping them inside.
Hermione kept quiet when she heard Dango shout, "Hey! What is this?! Open up!" Walking up to Philip, Hermione asked, "Hey, are you sure about this, Philip? What's the point?" "When I looked up the best situation for reconciliation, this came up. A dark, cramped space. If they talk it out, they'll be okay." Hermione kept quiet, looking at the RevolGarry as Chizuru and Dango shouted to be let out, she asked, "Do you think it will work?" She listened to Chizuru say she didn't want to be with the same person who wanted her dead. But Dango tried to tell her that he didn't mean it and it wasn't for real, that's why he sent a request to the agency to save her.
But Chizuru told him not to be so noble since he set up the situation, Hermione sweatdropped, "Uh, Philip, I don't think its working."
Back with Shotaro, he found the apartment of the Dopant, a person named Ikari. Holding his nose as he knocked on the door, Shotaro said, "Ikari-san? Delivery. Cash on delivery." As he hoped, a small smile hidden on his face, the door opened to reveal a man with messy hair who was clearly surprised to see him. He tried to close the door, but Shotaro stopped it and revealed a fire in his eyes, he asked, "So, you're the cockroach?" When Ikari tried to run, Shotaro calmly followed, cracking his knuckles, "I'll forgive you if you pay me four GaiaMemories."
Ikari told him that he would be after him when he exterminated Chizuru. He activated his Memory and inserted it into his foot, then escaped out the window. As Shotaro was about to follow, his foot hit some kind of scrapbook, curious, Shotaro picked it up and looked through it. The contents of the book had photos of Hermione around her apartment doing her own things and sketched manga pages of the Cockroach Dopant doing horrible sexual things to her. Reading the book, a fuse inside Shotaro just snapped and tore the book apart, then went to the window.
"Follow! Send me the GSP info!" He shouted, activating the Stag Phone and it flew after the Dopant. Back at the agency, Hermione sighed as all they heard was arguing from Chizuru and Dango. Draco had appeared and glared at them from the other side of the wall that was up, Hermione sighed and said, "Isn't this what you would call a plan that backfires?" "But I want to see Heaven's Tornado soon." Philip said, whining, Draco scoffed, "Don't be such a baby." "Malfoy! Get out of here! How many times do I have to tell you this doesn't involve you?!" Hermione said, glaring at him.
Ignoring them, Philip looked at Dango's bag and opened, bringing out the boombox. He turned it on and Hermione heard a change in tone between the two. She and Philip listened to how Chizuru wanted to be pushed harder by Dango, having both their talents clash in order to improve. Dango found out that she practiced synchro swimming to the song that was playing. Hermione and Philip listened to the conversation, Dango actually surprised about why she took up synchro swimming, Chizuru explained that she didn't tell him because he would go easy on her if she did.
Hermione blushed as she felt Philip grab her hand and they listened as Dango apologized for his behavior and really showing Chizuru how guilty he felt for his actions. However, Chizuru actually forgave him, telling him that she was feeling lonely. Hermione smiled, hearing Dango tell her that they should get back together. "Well…. Looks like your plan worked." Hermione said softly, smiling. "Looks like you'll be able to see it soon." "Yeah, hopefully very soon." Philip said, looking to the Garry.
"You two!" He shouted, "Hurry and show me Heaven's Tornado!" Draco groaned and noticed Hermione just smiled, looking at Philip. After a while, Hermione called Shotaro, saying that Chizuru and Dango had made up and where they would be for the dance. She didn't know that the person on the other end was the Cockroach Dopant who had stopped the Stag Phone and answered when Hermione called, now knowing where he can find his target and finish the job.
At Weatherside Square, Hermione, Philip, and a begrudging Draco watched as Chizuru and Dango happily dance together. Hermione looked at Philip as he watched, focusing on each step of the dance, hoping to find that final keyword to open the book in the Planet Bookshelf. As they danced, Hermione smiled as she saw a light appear in Philip's eye as he watched and said, "At last…. Heaven's Tornado. I can finally see it." "I think this is the first time I have seen a genuine smile on your face, Philip." Hermione said, smiling. She almost thought she saw Philip's face go red and he looked at her, then turned back to the two, "R-really?"
"Yeah." Hermione said, smiling and watching the two with him, her hands behind her back. She said softly, "But it's a good expression to have, Philip." Hermione had a brief memory appear as she saw a hazy image of a young boy in front of her with the same smile on his face, she touched her necklace gently when suddenly one of the sewer covers flew up and hit Chizuru's leg, causing her to the ground and the Cockroach Dopant appeared from the sewer pipe. Seeing it, Draco just fainted and Hermione gasped as Philip stood in front of her to protect her from the Dopant.
They watched as Dango tried to fight against the Cockroach Dopant, but was badly defeated as the Cockroach Dopant didn't take back any requests. Hermione and Philip ran to Chizuru, Philip asked, "Can you dance? Hey. Can you dance?" 'Oh, Philip…..' Hermione thought, smiling as she sweatdropped before going to the other side of Chizuru while she was confused. Philip and Chizuru watched as she tore part of her outfit and wrapped it around the wounded part of her leg. Hermione said, "Stay off it for a while." "Can you dance Heaven's Tornado?" Philip asked her.
"I can't." Chizuru said, holding her bandaged leg. "And it seemed like we had finally got our waves….." "Waves?" Philip said to himself, standing up as he realized something. "I see! That's the keyword!" Entering the Planet Bookshelf, Philip entered the word and it literally becaame a key which entered the lock and opened the book. Many photos appeared, revealing the dance steps. He told himself, "Heaven Tornado's key was the wave of their rhythm." It had seemed the Cockraoch Dopant had beaten Dango and went to take care of his intended target as Philip turned to him with Hermione carrying Chizuru away to rest her leg.
Shotaro rode up on his motorcycle and stopped, Philip walked up, saying, "You're late, Shotaro. Lets go." "Okay." Shotaro said, getting off his motorcycle and taking off his helmet. Shotaro put on the Double Driver which appeared on Philip's waist, Philip brought out and activated his Cyclone Memory, Shotaro did the same with his Joker Memory with the two inserting them into their Drivers. As Shotaro activated his Driver, Hermione cast the Hover Charm on Philip as he fell unconscious and brought him over to her. Seeing his opponent transformed, the Cockroach Dopant revealed the stolen Memories, saying, "I'll be taking the last two. As well as that belt."
"Bastard!" Shotaro shouted as Philip spoke, "Leave it to me." Calmly walking to his opponent, Kamen Rider suddenly began to street dance, combining with his fighting. Hermione, Chizuru, and Dango watched while tending to her wounded leg, amazed at the mixture of fighting and dancing that was being used against the Cockroach Dopant. Hermione was really amazed as it seemed like Philip was using the dance moves and fighting at the same time.
She also realized that this combination was helping them actually hit and attack the Dopant, since she had learned from Shotaro that they couldn't before due to its speed. As he danced, Philip sounded like he was having fun, watching him, Dango decided to join in, saying, "I can't hold it in anymore!" With having Dango joined into the fight, he told Shotaro, "Dance however you want, I'll match up with you!" Hermione smiled and lightly laughed, watching them.
"Hey! Are you serious?!" Shotaro asked, majorly confused. "We're fighting right now!" "Just go along with it, Shotaro!" Hermione said, Philip agreed, "Yes! Yeah!" Kamen Rider and Dango just continued to dance fight against the Dopant while Hermione carried Chizuru while using the Hover Charm on Philip and Draco to carry them somewhere safe. However, Hermione and Chizuru watched Dango and Kamen Rider work together in fighting against the Dopant. They worked together in almost unison, using the same moves and hitting the Dopant together. For the final attack, Kamen Rider grabbed Dango's hands, then was lifted up to the air as he spun, beginning to access the power of the Cyclone Memory.
Brushing a few strands behind her ear, Hermione smiled as they went after the Dopant, before he jumped down and caught the box of the stolen Memories. 'Amazing….' Hermione thought to herself as Dango openly voiced her amazement. "You're amazing!" He said, smiling. "That's what that guy wanted to see! That was Heaven Tornado." Hermione gasped, surprised that not only Philip was able to see the dance, but he also did it as well. She looked away with a small smile, 'But he won't care after this is over.'
"Yeah! This is Heaven Tornado!" Philip said, happy as it was unseen by Hermione that his body smiled as well. Turning to the Dopant, Philip spoke, "Shotaro, Memory Break." "Okay." Shotaro replied, flicking his wrist. He took out the Memories and changed into LunaTrigger, intending to finish his earlier fight with the Dopant. Inserting the Trigger Memory into the Gun, as it spoke, "Trigger! Maximum Driver!" "Trigger Full Burst!" Shotaro and Philip shouted at the same time, pointing it at the Dopant and firing.
A multitude of blue and yellow bullets flew out and hit the Dopant, causing a explosion and Ikari appeared, unconscious with the pieces of his Memory appearing next to him. Hermione smiled at Kamen Rider, who just rubbed his helmet and looked back at her. After a while, the police appeared and arrested Ikari, taking him to jail for his crimes. Peace once again returned to the agency as Shotaro typed the result of the cases while Draco grumbled to himself after dealing with Hermione and dreading his new role as office cleaner.
For her safety, Shotaro didn't tell Hermione about the book he had seen in Ikari's apartment and typed, 'Chizuru's leg wasn't badly hurt. Someday, she and Dango will probably take on the world.' He looked at Philip who was back at reading his book while Draco sipped a cup of tea and Hermione looked through the mail of the agency. Shotaro returned to his typing, 'This time, we were successful, but….. Anytime, he's absorbed in something, he's nothing but a nuisance.'
"He wasn't so bad, you know." Hermione said, coming up to Shotaro and smiled, Shotaro smiled back and ruffled her hair, "I guess not. What is it?" "When Philip talked about the street dancing and watched it, he seemed so happy." Hermione said, smiling. "It felt so familiar, almost like a dream. I almost wish that had changed him, just a little." Shotaro smiled and noticed a letter in her hand, he asked, "What's that?" "Oh, right," Hermione said, "It's an invitation to a revival event from Dango and Chizuru, they had begun to practice Heaven's Tornado again."
"You should be proud, Philip." Draco said, looking proud himself after listening to her. "You got what you wanted and reunited a pair that had been torn apart." "No interest." Philip said, looking at him and surprising him. "It's in the way of my research." Hermione smiled and hid her laughter, Philip walked up to Draco and said, "More importantly, I have found an amazing mountain. Have you ever heard of Mount Fuji!?" Hermione laughed at Draco's misfortunate and Shotaro just smiled, hiding the jewelry box that Santa-chan gave him, not ready to give it to Hermione yet.
'When he's absorbed in something…..' Shotaro sighed, watching the scene. 'He's nothing but a nuisance.' He just watched with Hermione as Philip just showered all the facts and info about Mount Fuji on Draco, who began to become confused and dizzy at the all the information that Philip was giving him. He just smiled as he listened to Hermione laugh and attempt to stop Philip before he made Draco too dizzy with his knowledge.
Meanwhile, in a different part of the city, a taxi car pulled and someone stepped out, then the taxi car left. The person looked out at the city of Fuuto with a big smile on their face. The person was a young woman, but her appearance made her look more like a middle school student, her long black hair in a ponytail and her brown eyes shining with confidence. Over her shoulder was an orange shoulder bag with a black strap, with a confident gasp of breath, the young woman smiled.
"Time to take back my agency!" She said, taking out a green slipper with a message written on the cover in gold print, the message, written in kanji, read, 'Agency Take back!' The young woman smiled, raised it in the air and began to run into the town, looking for the agency.
WhiteRose-Aki: In case you're wondering, I added the part with the book to show how much Shotaro cares for Hermione and how protective he is of his chief. Anyway, Akiko cameo! That's right, she's all ready with her green slipper to wrack someone in the head. I wonder who will be her first victim.
Next chapter: Hermione is captured, Akiko mistakes the reason why Hermione is the chief and landlord, Shotaro visits the Sonozaki manor as well as ponder his feelings about Hermione, Shotaro and Akiko discover a blank GaiaMemory, a patisserie request to find her father from the agency, a new Dopant appears, and the appearance of the Terror.
Please, R&R if you enjoyed it.
