BLESS SASAMI:

EPISODE FIVE:

Ayeka's eyes fluttered open and she found herself in a hospital bed. A nurse hovered over her. "Ah! You're awake miss. Can you tell us what happened?" "There was a girl murdered! I followed her, this gang chased her and.and." Ayeka continued her explanation even up to Kiyone being decapitated. The Nurse went off and called in the police.



"Is she in here?" Tenchi asked.

"Yes." The nurse said.

Tenchi went right into Ayeka's wardroom.

"Now, Miss Ayeka, I need you to be perfectly calm. We've been down to the station and we found no body, no head rolling around and no blood." Tenchi said.

"But I swear to God I saw it!" Ayeka yelled.

Tenchi raised a hand to calm her. "Now be careful what you say, Miss. The doctor says somebody gassed you out, which is probably the cause of these hallucinations."

"Hallucinations.? What is wrong with you people? I was not hallucinating, I saw the body before I passed out!" Ayeka could've wrung his neck.

"Now Miss.you can't really charge murder, but you can charge theft on your assailant, if you come down to the station and try and help me find out who attacked and mugged you." Tenchi said.

Ayeka sighed huffily. "Alright then."



"So the girls name who was killed was Kiyone, right?" Tenchi said and Ayeka nodded.

"Could I just ask.Kiyone mentioned something.what is the Hunt of the Innocents?" Ayeka asked.

Tenchi stood up, drank his coffee and looked out the window to the city below. "It's when King Herod heard of the birth of Christ and sent men out to kill every child born on the day Christ was hoping to get rid of Jesus. He thought he was threatening his place on throne as Jesus was the prophesised King of Kings. It in the bible, you can look it up, I have one in my drawer."

Ayeka looked up at him. "You seem very tired, I'm sorry for taking your time."

"You wouldn't believe the Hell I'm in." Tenchi said.

"What?"

"You've heard on the news about these kids being killed? Well that's my case. I'm trying to capture the sicko who's doing this."

Ayeka nodded and turned to leave.

"Are you okay, do want me to get you an escort?" Tenchi called.

"No.no I'm fine." And she left.

Tenchi turned back to his work, there was only the cleaner pickup up rubbish.

"The path ahead is pretty hard, huh?" The black janitor said.

Tenchi nodded.

"The Lord never abandons his children." The janitor said.

Tenchi nodded and turned back to his files. "I guess that it'll be a long night, huh?"

No answer.

Tenchi turned and found nobody in the office or entire building. Tenchi scratched his head and then shrugged.



Ayeka stopped back at the café and was met up by Washu. Washu's expression was grave.

"You must help Sasami, she needs you help, listen, you can hear her calling for you." She said.

"I can't, I can't do anything anymore." Ayeka sighed.

"You can and you will, you're not alone." Washu said, smiling kindly.

Ayeka nodded and walked home.

Suddenly she heard a voice in her head. "Aunt Ayeka! Evil..Ayeka.."
