The next day Kazuki was walking downtown eating a bag of pastries
"Kazuki," Yuna had said as her and Rin found him in town.
"Yuna, Rin," Kazuki said as he was shocked to see them.
"You finally got your body back Kazuki," Yuna said as the three of them was sitting down on a park bench.
"Yes and what concerns me the most is how," Rin said as she was eating one of his pastries.
As he explained
"I see a new magical power, power of the mystics" Rin said as she was interested.
"Yeah, that right," he said as he explained.
"Rin you heard about it," Yuna asked.
"Of course I have, they been wiped out for many years, I just would have never image you will have their power," Rin said as she was still surprised.
"To be honest with you, me either," Kazuki said as well.
"Anyway I'm happy to see you got your body back Kazuki, now that you are able to fell and touch stuff" Yuna said as she was happy for him.
"Yeah I had a master that trained me in the arts of mystic ninjutsu," Kazuki said.
"I see," Rin said as she thought.
"Oh no I got to get back, I see you later," he said as he looked at the clock and left them.
"Kazuki where are you going, Yuna asked?"
"Don't worry about it," he said as he left.
"Kazuki, we finally found Kazuki, now he has to leave again," Yuna said
"I'm sure he has his reasons Yuna," Rin said to her.
"Have you all seen Kuriko anywhere," Elizabeth came out of nowhere?
"Never mind that, Elizabeth go follow Kazuki," Yuna said to her.
"What for, you can't lose track on a ghost or two," Elizabeth said as she did not care.
"Go," Rin and Yuna both said as they gave a death stare at her.
"All right, fine," she said as she went after him.
Back at the temple
"I never notice it takes you that long just to get an errand done," Sera said as not happy with Kazuki arriving late.
"Sorry, Sera sensei, it's like you said a ninja is always patient" he said as he handed over her a bag of pastries she ordered.
"That is true, now why don't you go meditate to maintain your power" she said as was now eating pastries.
"Yes ma'am," he said as he went outside to meditate.
"Sneak, sneak, so this is where you been Shikmori," Elizabeth said to herself as she saw him meditating.
So Shikmori at a temple dojo, Rin asked.
"Yep, that is where he is, also I saw a women watching him," Elizabeth said.
"What, Kazuki," Yuna said as she got mad.
"Lead the way where to Shikmori," Rin said as all three of them went to Kazuki location.
Later on that day Kazuki was meditating.
"Shikmori," Rin showed up.
"Kazuki, what are you doing" Yuna said as she showed up at the temple then found Kazuki who was still meditating?
"Quiet, don't get close to him, he is trying to concentrate on his new magic power," as Sera showed up to the three girls.
"Who are you and what relationship do you have with Kazuki," Yuna asked?
"Huh," Sera asked out of confusion.
Rin tap Yuna and grabbed her "How dare you assume such a thing, her name is Sera llia, she is master magical as well as a master healer, Rin explained to her.
"It does not take an expert like me to know I have company, I'm surprise my ninjas did not catch you three," Sera said.
"Please forgive our trespassing master Sera, we came to find a certain someone," Rin said as she was on her knees.
"You do not need to be so formal Rin, call me just Sera," she said as she was on her knees as well.
"You two know each other," Yuna asked.
"Of course," Rin said.
"I finish up my meditation training Sera," Kazuki said as he came to Sera then notice Yuna and Rin.
"Kazuki, you said you were going somewhere important," Yuna said as she got mad at him then was about to use magic but Sera assistant stopped her and canceled her magic.
"Yuna wait," Kazuki said.
"Next time, think before you use magic," Rin said.
"Perhaps I should explain," Sera said as she told Yuna about who she is.
"I'm terribly sorry; I did not know Kazuki had a master who was his guardian," Yuna said as she was embarrassed when she heard the whole story.
"It's all right, you can let her go now," Sera said to her assistant.
"As you wish my lady," he said as has he let Yuna go, then vanished.
"Hey Sera," Nezu said as he appeared out of nowhere.
Hello Nezu, I see you have been well, Sera said.
"I haven't seen you all day Nezu," Rin said.
"I have been here and there, before you two notice I was gone," he said.
"It is no wonder why I didn't sense you before, and I thought you ran away," Rin said.
"Very funny," Nezu said.
"Well Kazuki you come so far on your training, you may even surpass me, so with that being said, your training is now compete, Kazuki Shikmori you are now in our ranks of a true mystic ninja, may your strength come from you true inner power," Sera said as she gave him a pended and put it around his neck.
"I Kazuki Shikmori will accept my destiny, no matter the cost," Kazuki said.
"Way to go man," Nezu said as he cheered him on.
Later on that day around town, the five of them was walking
"In the end Kazuki has changed," Yuna said.
"Yes, I suppose so," Rin said.
"But we still have not found Kuriko," Elizabeth said.
"We don't even know if she is here or not," Nezu said as he was wondering.
"She is here all right, I can feel it, since you and Kuriko was in the same place Shikmori, it not like you two met up," Elizabeth.
"No, I barely knew she was here," Kazuki said, "If I said yes this would be bad," he thought to himself.
"Hey did you hear about it," said one of the street punks smoking a cigarette.
"Yeah I heard some hot chick is here," said another one with a pocket knife.
"I would really like to have her in my gasp," said another one drinking beer.
"I bet she is loaded," said another street punk.
"Why are they talking about my Kuriko," Elizabeth said as she was getting ready to use magic on the punks.
"Elizabeth stop, I may know a other way to find Kuriko," Nezu said as he hold her back and went to the punks.
"Yo home boys, I hear the scoop on a hot chick around here, and will she happen to be blond, and have cute eye color, Nezu asked.
"What you looking to get the drop on her," said one of the punks.
"Yep, I'm looking to get in on it, Nezu said.
"Really, glad to see we are now alone on this," another one said?
"So now that we are not alone on this, will you happen to know where that hot blond chick is at the moment," Nezu asked.
"The fanciest restaurant around north avenue where else," said one of them.
"Got it, let's go," Nezu said to the other as they ran there to the restaurant.
"When are you ever going to get the money you promise me, said the women in the suit that attack Kazuki with light black hair breading short.
"Soon enough, I have it from the Kazetsbaki fortune," Mr. Tagi said to her.
"Whatever get it to us quick, otherwise something heavy will come besides me," she said as she left.
"So that is what was going on," Kazuki said as him and the other overheard his conversation.
"It would appear it was not an ordinary date," Rin said as she had her Katana out.
"That awful man has deceived Kuriko, it will be his last," Elizabeth said as she was ready to used magic on him.
"Where have you been darling," Kuriko said as she was waiting for Mr. Tagi.
"I been busy with some business," he said.
That man is nothing more but a con artist, Yuna said as they all entered the restaurant trying to stop Kuriko.
"Hey who the hell are you people," Mr. Tagi asked as he got up?
"Shut up theft," Elizabeth said.
"Kuriko, that guy is trying to pull a fast one on you," Kazuki said.
"My sword will offer no forgiveness," Rin said as she held her Katana.
"You all have disturbed this humble restaurant, so I'm going half to ask you to leave," Kuriko said as she tried to stop them.
"Uh-oh I better scam," Mr. Tagi said as he was sneaking out of the restaurant.
Kuriko blew the whistle and called the police as they surround the place they also apprehended the others.
"What's going on," Kazuki asked as he was held on the ground as well as the others.
"We got him, let the others go, they are clean," said the chief of the police.
"Ugh, Mr. Tagi signed as he was caught in the act and was arrested.
"Book him boys," said the inspector.
"Kuriko we thought you were being deceived by that awful man," Elizabeth said.
"You're wrong, he was a notorious con man, I was asked to take a part in this, so the police can apprehend him," Kuriko explained.
Then Kazuki picked up a piece of clothing that had a black claw on it which sign, then hid it in his pockets.
"I have a feeling there is more to it that meets the eye, maybe that same women will come back," he thought to himself.
Meanwhile at a banded lair
"Sir Mr. Tagi failed in action and was apprehended by the police," said the women in the suit taking to her boss.
"Not a problem, our organization still stands, we have a lot in store, then sooner or later we will take this city by surprise," said her boss sitting in a chair in the darkness.
"Kuriko, I'm sorry for all this happing," Kazuki said as they were all on a train back Aoi academy.
"It's all right Kazuki, just don't cause problems for me or anyone else anymore," she said.
"Okay,"
