DISCLAIMER: The Bishi world belongs to Songwind. I do not own any anime, manga, book, movie or game characters mentioned in this fanfic and have nothing to give you if you sue me! I also don't own Autumn – she was generously 'donated' to me by PeaceLoveOcelot. Neither do I own the Christine. She belongs to Shadow of Phantasia. BWSD belongs to Lady Demoonica Darkmoon.
She EXPLAINS… (shock!) Kiki updating so soon after the most recent post? (double shock!)
Chapter 12
Kate sighed and dug through her pack bringing out a laptop. "I suppose I'll have to explain this sooner or later. As you notice I have quite a bit of money."
"Ahem, tons!"
"Fine, have it your way, tons. Well it's all from all these various companies I invest in. I have shares in Capsule Corp, McBishies, Kaiba Corp, banks, publishers, supermarkets and some other big organisations out there. Trust me, having a Sai as knowledgeable as mine is handy."
"How did he become such a smarty pants anyway? The Sai I know from the anime was nothing special, he was just a sub character in the background who's a bit useless and pathetic!"
Kate smiled, "I haven't told you Sai's story yet have I?"
The girl paused and sipped her tea for dramatic effect, "I found Sai in a city."
"Eh?"
"Sai was already smart before I met him, he knew that it is actually quite safe for a bishi to walk about the city. Why? Because nobody suspects a wild bishonen to walk in one, people just assumes that all the bishonen walking about there are all captured which is very true indeed but Sai being the sly bishi he is walked right about town and nobody even thought of capturing him. So he's quite knowledgeable. He went to libraries and learnt a ton of stuff from books alone, bought a laptop, learnt more on the Internet and finally travelled about a lot and learnt skills from bishies he met.
"Anyways, back on track. Sai learnt law from an Edgeworth from the game, Phoenix Wright and business from Kaiba in Yu-Gi-Oh, so he's useful in keeping my financial status in the green and out of reds. So, last year, I've invested in an organisation called BWSD." Kate paused and the sunlight coming through the window glinted off her glasses giving her a malicious gleam.
"Er… Blueberries Want Star-fruits Dead?" Sarah hazarded…. Badly.
Kate sighed, "No, Bishi World Safety Department, it's run by the bishi world government but because of the size of their projects and costs to keep it running, they need financers like me to fund them billions every few months to buy equipment and blah blah blah. Yeah, why else do you think I'm staying in normal hotels and travelling about like a poor camper when I could literally have my own mansion and have sundaes by the poolside? BWSD have been and continue to be a leech it is stripping me of my money making it the biggest investment I've ever financed!
"Though there are some plus sides, like last night, I can call their services whenever and whatever as long as its reasonable. The Archangel was the one assign to me if I ever needed their services so I got to know Louise quite well since half the time when she needs help in her budget problems, I'll wake up and find her outside my hotel room spouting speeches, nonsense and whatever it takes to persuade me into splitting with more of my money!"
Kate stopped to breathe after all the venting and took off her glasses, "sorry, it's just been an eventful night and I haven't even rested yet."
It was then that the little girl noticed the panda eyes etched around the older girl's eyes and Sarah found a renewed ambition of making this hotel bill a hotel bill to remember just to vex Louise.
"Right, last night, after they left us off, I called the police to investigate. I was questioned, the girl who owned the Inuyasha, Yannie, was questioned, all her bishies were questioned and all of mine as well. But that wasn't the problem, they then figured that this big a case was out of their hands and called in the BWSD. We did all the questioning again only to find that the Yannie was innocent the whole time and she was telling the truth. Then we got questioned again and I spent hours trying to defend the girl to the point that even my Sai was getting agitated.
"I'm not suppose to know this but having connections with the BWSD helps especially if one of their Mias from the game Phoenix Wright taught my Sai law so…"
"I thought you said Edgeworth taught Sai law…"
"Yes him too. Back on topic, we found out that the Sasuke did not originally belong to Yannie but to another trainer who…who's entire team and herself got tortured and murdered not far from where Yannie found Sasuke who managed to escape."
PFFFTTTFFTT
Sarah's porridge threw right out of her mouth as she threatened to throw up. "Hello! I'm eating here!"
"And here I was thinking that nothing would spoil your appetite."
Sarah paused spoon still in mid-air, "you're right, nothing would." She resumed shovelling porridge in her mouth again.
Kate placed the teacup back onto Yuzuki's tray and leant back into the armchair folding her arms in the process. "The entire team was murdered, they're guessing maybe in the early mornings of the day Yannie found the ninja, the trainer got killed off first which would explain why the Sasuke was acting like a madman when Yannie found him – it was because the blood bond was still attached for some reason.
"The BWSD are suspecting some sort of electromagnetic whatever digital field was set up so that's why Yannie's dex didn't work for her to call help and why the murdered trainer couldn't use hers either. The field probably played with the Bish-balls system as well so when the trainer died the bond wasn't disconnected but it seems a replacement blood bond was possible since Yannie could capture the bishonen, maybe because the Sasuke strayed from the field and its effects weakened significantly."
Kate sighed and rubbed her temples while Sarah continued to scoff down food as if she's been starved for days.
"I was expecting you to question me like crazy as well," Kate commented as Sarah shoved alternating spoons of pudding and cereal down her throat.
"I would if I'm not too busy eating," the little girl answered mouth disgustingly full of milk enough for Marth to shrink and hide from the horrid sight. "What's going to happen to the Sasuke then?"
"He's under the BWSD's care now and will continue to be until full recovery."
"And that girl, Yannie?"
Kate smiled. "She's probably still snoring away in the room next door where I left her. I doubt you'll be seeing any of her until later on this evening. She's still under guard but most likely it doesn't matter for the time being since she's too tired to wake up."
Kate got up and with her Yuzuki paced towards the door.
"What about me then?"
Kate twisted the doorknob and peeked outside. "Your guards have withdrawn, you should be fine now. Go shopping or something. Chill and relax for the day. Work on the room service bill. I'll be in the opposite room if you need me." And she disappeared from the room leaving Sarah looking at the spot she was at in wonder determined that when she grows up and have enough money to bribe the older trainer, she will make her teach her the secrets of that annoying disappearing act.
END OF CHAPTER 12
Archangel is a….no… THE ship of Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny
PeaceLoveOcelot: Yeah, the chapter was short. I originally planned to put the stuff in this chapter in it as well but it just seem to weird and ….long-ish. Hopefully this chapter clears things up for you a bit and if it doesn't then feel free to say so though I will warn you. I cannot disclose all secrets yet… Ah…. Feels so nice to open your inbox and see a review…
