I find it amazing. Everytime i say i am going to commit more to this something comes and rips me away. This time it has been job interviews. So sadly i haven't had lots of time to be able to write as much as i like. I will hopefully be posting one more chapter before the release of mass effect 3. No promises though. Don't forget to review at the end xD even if it is abuse. every review sends an email to my iphone and reminds me to write
Mugen Tenshin Palace
It had been a few hours since Kasumi had failed to catch Jake. After searching the area they gave up and made haste for home. Now they were here. Kasumi didn't get a warm reception back when Hayate had discovered that they had been tricked and that Jake had gotten away. At the current moment in time Kasumi was in her bedroom in the palace. She was still reorganizing everything in her room. Most of the shelves were covered in dust and half the rooms furniture was in the one corner. Kasumi was shocked that Hayate hadn't ordered everything in the room to be destroyed. Kasumi was lying on her futon and was thinking about things. She still could not believe how quickly she had been accepted back into the clan, it was almost like she had never left in the first place.
Ayane had only just returned and had already found out about Kasumi's failure. Instead of getting angry she decided to go and see her half sister. After a little bit of searching she found her in her room
"What do you want?" Kasumi asked as soon as she walked in. She did not even have to move from staring at the ceiling to know who it was.
"I heard that Jake had managed to trick you and escaped" Ayane said in a emotionless tone.
"If you have come here to lecture me like Hayate did then you can get lost" Kasumi huffed as she lifted herself up so she was sitting on the futon.
"Actually I came to sympathise. Now you know how I feel. Everytime you evaded me it made me so angry. Here is some advice" Ayane walked over to her futon and sat next to her "Don't let the anger consume you like it did with me. Anger is a powerful tool when used against an enemy, but if it is allowed to build up then it can corrupt you and become a deep burning rage. Even now that anger and rage is still inside me, even if you are back" After saying her piece Ayane lifted herself up and walked towards the door "You may have had everything on a silver plate, and I may have had to work my way to the top. I don't like you for that. But we are family and we have a mission. Use the rage you found today and use it to propel your search, just don't let I consume the fragile soul inside your body" With that said Ayane left Kasumi, who was now standing looking out of her window. Wondering if she was ever going to be able to forgive herself for getting angry.
Tokyo City, Central District
Jake had been driving for what he had thought had been hours. He had no idea where he was going at all. Slowly however he had gotten the hang of driving and was now able to drive as fast as everyone else.
He observed the street that he had found himself on. He had swore he had already passed this street at least 5 times. The sun was now retreating below the cityscape however the streets were still as bright as day. Nearly every street he drove down was covered with neon lights all over. That was why he found driving around this place hard. He couldn't tell what was different, purely because every street bombard and blinded you with a show of lights. Jake sighed as he stopped for the sixth time in the past 4 minutes. Here on these streets he was lucky if he could reach 5mph. Realising he could be stuck in this new jam for a while he pulled out his mobile and phoned up Christie. He held the phone to his ear with his shoulder so he could keep driving
"Hello Jake" Christie said cooly on the other end of the phone as she answered it
"Ah hello Christie... I think I am lost... I am stuck in this awful traffic...however the ninjas tried to attack me...but I did get them off my tail" Jake smirked to himself
"How did you do that?" Christie enquired rather curious as to how he had done it.
"Well on the bus journey I had this sneaking suspicion that I was going to be attacked by the ninjas. It was at that point I noticed that there was a kid that had hair like mine. So I convinced him to put on a baseball cap and walk out of the bus with his head down and I waited in the bus and hid. The ninjas were so confident it was me I was actually able to spot them chasing him"
"Aren't you worried about him?" Christie asked, she was trying to test his morales.
"Of course, however my mission takes precedence sadly" Jake answered back with a slightly saddened tone to his voice
"It's ok... I am sure he would be ok. Kasumi may be hunting you down like a dog to fresh meat however she wouldn't kill innocents. Ayane however... I cant promise anything"
"Well I didn't see Ayane anywhere. Just Kasumi and her group I think" Jake mentioned, trying to go back and remember what he did actually see.
"Well don't worry. Just focus on getting to this underpass. And on that note take the next left and get onto the motorway and you will be able to get to the northern overpass easily"
"Wha... How did you know that? Jake asked with a heavily confused tone to his voice
"The car has a GPS tracker linked to my ipod. Thats why I have my ipod with me at all times. It is just incase I end up getting lost and don't know where my car is. When you are under fire all of the time you sometimes forget where you end up leaving your car" Christie said with a serious voice
"Ah I see...well the traffic is starting to move. I will see you soon" Jake quickly hung up and put the phone down and started to drive as the traffic began to move.
After a hour later Jake had finally managed to find where he needed to go. He pulled up where he saw Christie standing. She was leaning against a concrete post looking bored out of her mind Once Jake had pulled up infront of her she walked forward and jumped into the drivers seat, Jake had moved back across. Christie took a minute to inspect her prestigious car.
"You didn't break it...its a miracle..." Christie smiled and kissed Jake on the cheek which made him blush. Before he had time to reply Christie turned on the cars engine and started to drive off.
Mugen Tenshin Palace
Kasumi had descended into a rather deep sleep. She had needed the time to catch up on the sleep she had lost since she was chasing Jake. However her sleep was disturbed when Ayane burst into the room looking slightly panicked.
"Kasumi wake up" She spoke slightly louder than normal to make sure that Kasumi heard her. Kasumi grumbled as she was awoken
"Ayane what is it?" She moaned
"Its Hayate...wake up. He wants us both to go see him. He said it was urgent" Before Ayane finished her sentence Kasumi was already up and fully kitted up. Ayane was impressed and then she nodded to Kasumi as she sprinted down the corridor towards the throne room
