A/N: To everybody who has read and stuck with me on this story, I thank you so much. I apologize for the long delay on my fan-fics. It's mostly the hours at my work I put in these days that confined me, but something else has risen. Come to find out a few months back I have Lupus and have lost a lot of weight. I am seeing doctors on the matter, and I am doing fine.

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy this one and will leave a feedback on how you thought this one ended.

Generation New

A Wandering Soul Awaiting for A Lone Reaper part two:

Megumi sat at her desk the day after running into the pink woman, spending a majority of the morning looking up the girl named Kastinen Kirsi. All she found out about the girl was that she was from Finland and she had disappeared at the age of fourteen after her mother's death.

Her thoughts dwelled on Kirsi's looks compared to the Doll in Yokohama. The only conclusion of when a Doll's features looked similar to somebody else was that the person's memory was abstracted and placed in it. If she were to guess, the girl named Kirsi ended up in the hands of the people who made the Doll.

She checked up on Kayanuma Kiko, confirming she was a Private Eye with an office in Shinjuku. Her file also showed her former Employer was another Private Eye Detective named Kurasawa Gai. Megumi dialed his number to see if he could give any information on Kirsi, but the line had been disconnected. There was an address on the file though.

"Saitou, feel like a field trip?" she asked.

"Eh, sure, Chief. Where?" he asked.

"To visit a Private Eye by the name of Kurasawa Gai."

"What about me?" Shoji asked.

"Keep answering the phone."

Shoji frowned, as Megumi and Saitou grabbed their stuff to head down into the garage and took off in Megumi's car. Ten minutes later, they pulled into the place.

The Foreign Affairs agents exited the vehicle and ascended to the floor where Gai's office was located. Megumi knocked on the door, which caused a load bang sound from inside, as if somebody had fallen.

"Eh, just a minute!" shouted a man.

There were sounds like a window opening and an old fashion fan being turned on, causing Megumi and Saitou to look at each other peculiarly.

"All… all right!" shouted the man a couple of minutes later.

Opening the front door, they revealed an old man with graying brown hair and a brown suit that looked to be out of an old cowboy movie sitting behind a desk. Megumi frowned, as she noticed an old style phone that explained the disconnected line and no computer.

"Hello, what can I do for you?" said the man.

"Are you Private Eye Gai?" she asked.

"Yes?"

"I'm Section-Chief Itashi Megumi, and this is Detective Yuusuke Saitou. I was wondering what you can tell me about Kastinen Kirsi."

"Who?"

Megumi's eyes slanted, saying, "You don't know who she is? You didn't have a case about her thirty-one years ago?"

Gai's eyes rolled up into his socket, as if trying to see if there was any memory left stored upstairs.

"Eh, no!" said Gai.

"What can you tell me about your former employee, Kayanuma Kiko."

"Kiko? Not much. Just that she's flat-chested and a terrible Private Eye."

"Thanks, I could have done without the flat-chested thing. Why did she leave your service?"

"She thought she could do better than me."

Megumi sarcastically smirked. The more she spoke with Gai, the more he made Saitou look like a Princeton Grad.

"One more question, Private Eye Gai. Do you know this woman?"

She held up the picture of Kirsi courtesy of Kiko. Gai took it and held it up to his eyes to get a better look, and then pushed it at arms length.

"Eh, I don't know, she looks familiar?" said Gai. "Who is she?"

"According to Kiko, and information I had gathered, she's Kastinen Kirsi. Still nothing comes to mind?"

"Sorry, but no."

"Thank you for your time."

Megumi retook the picture and began to leave the office with Saitou.

"Eh, miss, spoke up Gai, stopping Megumi and Saitou in their tracks. "May I ask what this is about?"

"A case concerning an event that happened in Shinjuku," said Megumi.

The detectives departed the office to descend to the main floor, and as they exited the complex, Megumi's phone began to ring. She pulled it out to see Hizumi was calling and hit the speakerphone while placing it to her ear.

"Hello, Hizumi," she hummed. "Meet you for lunch? Yes I can. All right. See you then."

Megumi hung up and sat in her car with Saitou.

"You find out anything, Chief?" asked Saitou.

"Not a clue."

Megumi stood close to the wall outside a Vegan restaurant around noon to stay out of the pedestrians' way, as she waited for Hizumi to arrive. The sun was shining and the heat index was twenty-nine degrees Celsius, making the day beautiful.

Earlier when she was leaving, Shoji had asked where she was going. It was driving her insane that he wanted to know more about her love life than her mother and father put together. The thought about demoting him came to her dozens of times, but she was sure Commander Hayate wouldn't be too pleased about it.

Hizumi appeared moments later.

He was wearing black dress pants, a black vest, a white shirt unbuttoned at the top, and narrow purple sunglasses. The mere sex appeal he was flaunting made her wish she had dressed up for him.

"Hello, gorgeous!" he said, as he stepped up next to her.

"You're the gorgeous one," she said, and then realized she had messed up her wording, as Hizumi gazed over his glasses dumbfounded. "I mean… you look… handsome."

He smiled.

"Ready to get something to eat?" he asked, gesturing towards the restaurant with his head.

"I'm starving!"

Hizumi opened the door for Megumi, followed her in and held up two fingers to the waitress who nodded and guided them to a table. The restaurant had rounded tables that were pushed up close due to the cluttered room and a bar along the back wall, which took up a majority of space. It had a second floor where they were led up to.

It had a few more tables since it lacked a bar. Megumi and Hizumi were seated by the window and were given menus. Megumi bowed, which startled Hizumi, as the waitress left them.

"I haven't seen anybody of your age bracket bow?" he said, as he opened his menu.

"Courtesy of my mom and grandfather," replied Megumi while scanning through hers. "Mostly my grandfather. May his soul rest in peace. My mom kept on teaching me, which infuriated my dad. I've thought that if I have any kids, I'd teach them it as well."

"How traditional of you!"

"What about you? Did your parents teach you any Japanese tradition?"

"Nope. I just know about it from the old folks performing it. I just caught on to show respect to them."

"Really! Let's test that then." Megumi bowed in which Hizumi smiled and followed suit. "Do you take your shoes off when you enter your apartment?"

"Sometimes." He smirked, as he averted his eyes. "Mostly because I forget to."

"Um, where do you live?"

"Shinjuku."

"Oh! Um, I had to investigate some unexplained phenomenon yesterday out there."

"Where?"

Megumi gave him the location, which caused his right eyelid to rise, and told him why she had gone out there. As she finished, their waitress came back to take their order.

"Vegan supreme," said Megumi.

"Ramen noodles," said Hizumi.

The waitress nodded and headed back downstairs. Hizumi looked back at her and said, "Izanami? Wasn't she taken care of years ago?"

"That's what I was told when I was growing up."

"You see anything?"

"Besides an annoying woman dressed in pink, and two stoned bros, no. I don't know if I'm pleased or disappointed."

"I'm pleased you didn't see her." Megumi's eyes slanted. "I heard that she stole human souls."

"I think it was that she had the ability to make Contractors kill themselves. It's confusing to me. I never bothered to study about it since there was nothing to worry about. Although, I think I might have to read up on it.

"What about your parents? What are they like?"

"Boring," said Hizumi. "My dad lies around the house after a long days work while my mom watches TV and cooks dinner. The food tastes like dog food." Megumi's eyes bulged, as she wondered what to say after his comment. He smiled. "I'm kidding! I'm an orphan. My parents died when I was five in a car crash. I have no memory of them what so ever. I've hopped from foster care to foster care to foster care."

"Nobody wanted you?"

"More like I was a handful to handle. I always pulled pranks at every place I went to. I ran away when I was fifteen and took jobs that paid under the table."

"So that's how you learned Japanese tradition: by working."

"Yep! Oh, wait! I shouldn't have told you that! You're not going to arrest me, are you?"

Megumi shook her head.

Their waitress brought their food, set it down before them, and left with a smile. Megumi picked up her food and began eating it while Hizumi snatched the chopsticks instead of a fork, and started eating his meal.

They sat in silence while eating their food. Megumi loved the vegan food here and usually got the vegan deluxe, but she didn't have time to wait for them to cook it. She was a little astounded that Hizumi ordered an average bowl of ramen when she figured he was the type of guy who would put everything in it. Perhaps he was being a gentleman and kept from eating meat in front of her.

It didn't bother her, it was the person's choice, and she would probably have eaten meat as well, but images of her mother's late night cravings dug into her mind. She wondered once before how much food Misaki had consumed when she was pregnant with her, and had asked Aunt Kanami about it.

The response Megumi received was her own experience of morning sickness.

There were so many things she wanted to ask him, but she didn't know what to start with. Since she had talked about her parents, she thought it was all right to ask about his, but apart of her thought it best to keep quiet on the matter. He didn't seem upset, but she figured it would bring back old memories that someone would try to bury. Megumi knew she had a few.

"Oh, I meant to tell you," began Megumi, as she remembered something. "That woman who fired you. She was found dead in Hell's Gate."

"I know, I heard," nodded Hizumi.

"Maybe you can get your job back at New Pandora."

"I already tried, and they said no."

"Oh, sorry."

"It's all right. I found another one already."

They finished their meal, as their waitress came by to check on them.

"Dessert?" she asked.

"No, sorry, but I'd like the check since I have to get back to work," said Megumi. She looked over at Hizumi. "Hope you don't mind."

"Not at all. I have to get back to my job. My boss doesn't like it when I'm gone longer than an hour." Megumi began to fish through her purse. "I got it."

"I'll pay for my bill."

"I insist. It's the guy's duty to pay for the meal."

Megumi nodded, as she lowered her purse. Hizumi took out his wallet and removed his card. The waitress took it, placed a black rounded-rectangular device over it, and pressed a button to have a red beam shine from it and scan the bar code. Once it said, "Approved!" she handed Hizumi his card.

The couple descended to the first level and exited the restaurant. Megumi stopped in front of her car and looked back at Hizumi.

"What are you doing around eight?" she asked.

"Nothing that comes to mind."

"How, how about a movie tonight. I'm kind of a Harry Potter nut, and well, I've been itching to see the new movie, but I never had the time. If you don't want to, it's all right."

"Which theater?"

Megumi smiled, and said, "How about in Shinjuku around seven-thirty."

"All right. See you then."

Megumi sat in her car to turn it on and entered her work's address into her GPS. She leaned back in her seat, as the car drove off. Hizumi watched it mix in with the traffic before heading off in the opposite direction.

However, he held his ground as he spotted an old man in the crowd with blue pants, green coat, and big glasses. The old man stared at him for a few seconds before heading down a nearby alley.

With curiosity plaguing his mind, Hizumi headed over to the alley to see it was deserted. He walked into the tight alleyway, scanning the area to see where someone could hide, which made him look up at the fire escape, but there was nobody nearby.

He frowned and headed off.

Around the far corner in the shadows, the old man was leaning up against the wall. The boy was weak minded, and that was going to kill him.

He sighed and headed off.

Megumi returned to Headquarters smiling and sat at her desk with Shoji eyeing her. She glared at him displeased, and said, "What?"

"Why are you in a good mood?" he asked. "You have a lunch special with your new boyfriend?"

"You don't give up, do you?"

"Give up what? I'm just trying to have a conversation."

"Well, as your boss, I say seal it and get to work!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

Shoji averted his attention to his computer and began typing and flipping through folders. Megumi shook her head while chuckling and started reading other files.

Saitou had problems working with his computer. He would try to widen a file while motioning his index fingers out and away, but he kept on closing it or tapping on a window behind it. Sakura would occasionally round his desk and lean over his shoulder to help him out.

"Don't hit that!" she yelled.

"Hit what?" questioned Saitou.

Saitou tapped something and then an exclamation mark appeared that was followed by an R2D2 raspberry sound.

Megumi sighed. Old people and computers don't mix. There were too many buttons for them to hit and more files than their retirement pension was worth.

Her phone rang.

She picked it up and said, "Foreign Affairs, this is Detective Itashi."

Even though she was Section-Chief, she never gave her title on the phone since she felt it was a neutral thing.

"Yes, eh, hello," said a male voice. "Um, this is 119 emergency dispatch. We got a call from two guys in Shinjuku saying there's a ghost in their apartment. Something about a young girl with blue hair wearing a cosplay-like outfit."

"I know those two guys. They call you trying to get a hold of us?"

"No. They asked for the Ghostbusters's number."

Megumi frowned. That's what happens to your brain when you smoke stuff like that. Their brains were going to be a mesh of pudding when they hit thirty.

"The Foreign Affairs will take it from here," she said.

Megumi hung up the phone and gestured Shoji to follow her.

He stood while grabbing his stuff, and asked, "Where to?"

"Back to that apartment."

After thirty minutes of scramming down to get into the car and driving through the city, the maize-colored car pulled up next to a basketball hoop that had been left out. They exited the car to see Gai and Kiko standing and glaring at each other.

"I was here first!" shouted Kiko.

"No you weren't! I was!" shouted Gai. "I'm not letting you take all the glory this time!"

"Why you!" growled Kiko, and jumped onto him while wrapping her arms around his neck to choke him.

Megumi gasped and ran over to them to break it up while Shoji shook his head and followed.

"Hey, hey! Knock it off you two!" Megumi shouted, as she pulled Kiko off of Gai.

"Let me go!" demanded Kiko. "I'll MURDER him!"

"Not wise to say that in my presence!" Megumi looked back at Shoji. "A little help here, please!"

"What? And break up this nice little catfight?' he smirked, making Megumi tighten her jaw line at him.

Shoji sighed and grabbed Kiko to pull her away and restrain her.

"Why are you two here?" Megumi asked, standing between the Private Eyes with her right arm stretched out towards Gai to hold him at bay.

"I came to investigate things here about Kirsi," said Gai, as he straightened out his suite.

"And steal my case!" shouted Kiko, fighting against Shoji's hold.

"Calm down!" demanded Megumi.

"I can't! Kirsi is MY case! I overheard on my police scanner of a cosplayer I'm looking for! Kirsi!"

"A… a police… scanner…?" questioned Megumi. Kiko gasped. "Anything else you have that's illegal?" Kiko shook her head. "Good! Are you going to behave or am I going to have to place you under arrest?"

"No, I'll behave," assured Kiko, allowing Shoji to release her.

Something at the corner of her eye caught her attention. She turned to see the two stoned bros step from their office wearing American Football helmets and pads while holding a huge net.

"What the hell do they think they're doing?" asked Megumi.

The short bro looked towards them, placed his index finger before his mask, and said, "Shh! Be very, very, quiet! We're hunting ghost!"

Weed had really messed up their brains. It seemed as though they were in another world.

"Tsk! Step back and let us handle this, please," demanded Megumi.

"But…?" spoke up the short bro.

"It's police business now!"

Megumi and Shoji removed their guns, as the bros stood aside, ascended the stairs, and leaned up against the wall before room 201. To her dissatisfaction, the bros came up behind them. "I thought I told you two to stand aside?"

"We're helping!" said the short bro.

"Yeah, we're the Fantastic Four!"

Megumi sighed. The back of her brain was cursing at her for not arresting them yesterday.

However, that was the worst of her problems. Gai and Kiko decided to join as well, glaring devilishly at each other, as they walked up the stairs.

"Stop following me, Gai!" shouted Kiko.

"You're following me, Kiko!" yelled back Gai.

Having enough of them, Megumi pulled out her cuffs while saying, "You both are under arrest for interfering with police business," and laced her cuff through the railing while slapping it on their wrist.

"Oi! Hold on one second!" shouted Gai. "This isn't right!"

"Yeah! You just can't do this!" said Kiko.

"I just did," Megumi pointed out.

"What about them?" shouted Kiko while pointing at the bros.

"They're not bugging me as much as you two are!"

"No fair! I'll sue!"

"Go ahead," shrugged Megumi. "The number's 119. Ask for Commander Hayate."

Kiko glared at Gai, and said, "This is your fault!"

"My fault? You're the one who got in my way!"

"NANI?"

Kiko yanked her cuffed-hand forward, pulling Gai downward and slamming his face into the railing.

"Ouch, ch, ch! THAT HURT!"

"Didn't mean for it to tickle!"

Megumi shook her head in annoyance, as she stepped before the room, and pushed her emotions aside to kick in the door. A brief memory of Ryo doing the same thing a few months back and getting blown up surfaced. To her pleasure, she didn't have a ball of fire in her face, but there was something before her.

In the mist of the room stood a woman in a white jump suit with glowing blue hair. Megumi pointed her gun at the blue-haired woman who merely stared at it.

"Don't move!" ordered Megumi. "Put your hands up!" The woman did nothing. "Do it!"

The blue-haired girl raised her right hand, making Megumi tense, and then there was a sonic-like wave that sent Megumi outside, slamming her against the railing. Shoji fired a shot, causing the blue-haired woman to hold her hand before him, stopping the bullet in mid air, and having it drop before her. She then sent a shock wave to have Shoji slam against the wall.

The two bros gasped, hurried back down the stairs, and ran to lock and hid in their office. Gai looked on stupidly while Kiko stared on lost for words, wondering what had just happened.

Megumi painfully stood and aimed her gun at the blue-haired girl. The girl held her hand before Megumi and sent a third wave at her, knocking her back and over the railing. Fortunately, a resident had placed his or her trash outside his or her room, and she landed in it.

The blue-haired woman walked out of the room, freaking out Kiko as she stared at her.

"Ki… Kirsi?" she questioned.

The blue-haired girl looked at her smiling. Gai freaked out, pulled out a key to un-cuff his wrist, and latched it to the railing to run down the stairs while holding his hat on his head.

"Hold on! You had a key? Hey, get back here and release me, Gai! GAAII!"

Kiko gasped as Kirsi began to walk by her to descend the stairs and head across the bridge. Once she reached the smoke shop, she stopped as she felt a presence, and turned to see someone in blue jeans and a white button up shirt, standing in a darkened alley. The sun's light that was shining through the clouds was hitting him in a way to make the side portion of his hair look gray.

Behind him stood a girl with long silver hair, wearing a western-style dress.

"Yin," he whispered.

"Hei," she muttered. "Why?"

"I'm sorry, but I couldn't kill you."

"I don't want this. Help me, Hei."

The man in the shadows slowly walked out of the alley with the girl following.

Back at the apartment, Megumi fought her way out of the garbage pile, as Shoji ran down from the second floor to check on her. He helped her to her feet and brushed some trash off her.

"You all right?" he asked.

"Thanks to my dumb luck, yes!"

"I saw where she headed off to. Come on!"

"Hey, wait! Don't leave me here!" shouted Kiko from above.

Megumi looked up at her smiling, and said, "It's for your own safety!"

The two detectives ran out of the apartment complex.

"My own safety? You can't do this to me! Somebody get me out of these things! I'll sue!"

Shoji guided her over the bridge and turned a corner before coming up to a smoke shop. They spotted the blue-haired woman standing before a man in blue jeans, white shirt and black flat hair that seemed to have gray spots, or it was the sunshine through holes in the cloud. He had his back to them and had his right hand on top of her head.

There was also a girl behind him with long silver hair and a purple dress. Megumi recognized her as one of the three Dolls sold back in Yokahama.

"Freeze!" shouted Megumi, as she and Shoji raised their guns.

However, to their amazement, the man in white had highlighted in blue to have a bright light shine and blind them. Megumi and Shoji tried to cover their eyes to make out what they were seeing, but it was ten times worse than trying to stare up at the sun.

Once the light had diminished, the blue-haired woman, the silver-haired girl and the man were gone. Megumi ran forward and around the corner to see if they used the distraction to run off, but there was no sign of them.

Her phone began to ring. She ignored it, figuring it was the lab to tell her that BK201's star was active and he was in the vicinity of Shinjuku.

She lowered her gun as she tightened her jaw line. Things didn't make sense.

Xxx

Kiko's friend was finishing up her work on the computer when her phone began to ring. She took it out of her pocket and hit the on button to see Kiko's image.

"Kiko? What's going on? Where are you?" she asked.

"I've been arrested! I need you to come down to the Foreign Affairs and bail me out!" said Kiko.

"Arrested? How?"

"Not important! The bail is seven hundred thousand yen."

Her friend's eyes widened, seeing that they only had two hundred thousand yen in their account.

"I'm sorry, what was that? You're breaking up, Kiko!"

"No you don't! Don't hang…!"

Kiko's friend turned off the phone and left Kiko's office for the night.

Xxx

Megumi and Hizumi exited the movie theater late at night smiling while in each other's arms, heading down the street to the nearest subway. The fake stars weren't shining due to cloud cover.

"What a heck of a storyline to make after the seventh Harry Potter movie," said Megumi.

"Took them long enough to make it," replied Hizumi. "I liked Gackt being the new dark lord. Dressed in that dark Kimono. Freaky!"

"And to make an appearance in a movie after doing Bunraku so many years ago."

They continued walking towards the subway while passing an old couple that smiled at them. Megumi looked back and wished her own parents could have worked things out and had a life like them. She hoped she could have a life with someone: perhaps with Hizumi.

The couple turned a corner, and stopped in their tracks to stare at BK201 dressed in his black clothes and mask. Megumi's eyes widened, as she released herself from Hizumi, gesturing for him to back up, and pulled out her gun to aim it at BK201's head.

BK201 stood still, as Hizumi looked on lost for words, wondering what was going on.

"Stand aside!" said BK201.

Megumi looked at him peculiarly. Why was he telling her to stand aside? Wasn't he here for her, or was he here for someone else? She glanced over her shoulder at her date. To her dismay, a terrible feeling overcame her, and looked back at BK201, her eyes as wide as what the moon would have looked like if it were still in the sky.

"No! Why him?" she asked.

"It doesn't concern you," said BK201. "Stand aside or face the same fate as him."

"Me—Megumi, what's going on?"

She snapped her head around, and shouted, "RUN!" He looked at her dumbfounded. "RRRUUNNN!"

Hizumi flinched, but did what she demanded to sprint off in the opposite direction. Megumi focused her attention back on BK201 and fired a shot. With quick reflexes, BK201 raised his right arm to have the bullet hit his coat and bounce off onto the ground.

Megumi went to shoot another round, but to her surprise, BK201 had flung out his wire to wrap it around her wrist, tugged it slightly while glowing blue, and sent an electrical shock through it. She shook for a few seconds, which felt like to her an hour, and fell forward.

BK201 retracted his wire and ran off after Hizumi.

A few blocks over, Hizumi stopped running to lean forward and catch his breath. He believed he might be safe now and hoped Megumi was fine after hearing a gun shot.

He straightened up to walk off, but then felt something sharp pierce his backside. Hizumi looked over his shoulder to see a white mask next to his face. His eyes widened, and then became heavy, as BK201 removed his blade to let Hizumi fall to his knees, and then tumbled backwards.

BK201 took out his wire to whip it around a pole and flew off.

Back at where Megumi had been shocked, she regained consciousness and slowly stood while surprised that she was still alive. Her skin was tingling from the electrical shock her attacker had given her.

Why hadn't he killed her?

She pushed the thought aside as her insides feared the worse concerning Hizumi. Megumi fought back the pain and ran in the direction that he had headed. After running three blocks and not seeing any signs of him or BK201, she took it into consideration as a good thing. However, when she turned a corner, she saw Hizumi lying on the ground in his own blood.

Megumi ran over to him and dropped to her knees to see he was still alive. She pulled out her phone, and dialed 119. An image of a man appeared.

"119, what's you're emergency?" he asked.

"My date has been stab!" shouted Megumi. "Send an ambulance to Shinjuku near the theater!" The 119 operator began calling for assistance. Megumi turned to Hizumi to look at the wound, ripped the bottom portion of her shirt, and applied pressure to it, causing Hizumi to cringe. "Hang in there. Help is on the way."

"I'm… cold…" he said.

Megumi looked at him startled. He had lost a lot of blood and she knew it didn't look good for him.

"Please, just hang in there!"

"I… ah… I don't feel the pain… anymore…"

His eyes closed as he let out a long breath. Megumi rolled him on his back to cradle him.

"Hizumi!" She shook him. "Hizumi!" There was no response. "HIZUMI!"

Time seemed to stop for her, as her heart began to pound heavily against her chest. She laid him down, covered in his blood.

Thunder sounded in the background, and then a major downpour drenched her to wash away Hizumi's blood from her clothes, and to hide the tears that began to flow from her eyes.

An Ambulance arrived moments later.

Across the street stood the old man in an old green coat and big glasses, watching the scene.

He frowned to say, "The boy asked for it," and walked off.

The next day, the sun shined down on the city to dry it up after the brutal storm last night, which made the air humid and hot as a lobster cooking in a boiling pot.

At the bullet train, a young girl, wearing a purple tank top, light purple shorts with purple nylons and silver hair, stood in front of a ticket booth.

A middle-aged woman, who was sitting behind the desk, smiled up at her, and asked, "Where to?"

"Kyoto," she replied.

"Your paperwork please." The young woman handed over the paper work to let the woman look through it. Once she was done checking it over, she stamped it and handed it back to her. "Have a safe trip, Miss Kirsi Kastinen."

"Thank you."

The girl named Kirsi took her stuff and ticket, headed onto the platform, and sat before the track to wait for the bullet train. Moments later, someone sat behind her.

"Don't turn around," said a male voice she recognized. "As you know. The body you have was a Doll that was stolen from a drug cartel a few months back. However, you'll also notice you have no power. You're normal." There was silence. "Once you get to Kyoto, look for a man in a black coat and red cap. He'll take you to a safe location."

"You're not coming, are you?" she asked.

"I can't. I have unfinished business here."

"Will I ever see you again?"

"I don't know. Goodbye, Miss Kastinen."

The man stood and left. A tear escaped Kirsi's right eye, as she said, "Goodbye, Hei."

A/N: I was upset at what Bones had done to Yin in Season 2. I like Yin a lot, and I didn't like how she became Izanami. I wanted to give her a happier ending.
