Chapter 11- In MT, These People Are Normal...
"YAWN.... Man I didn't realize I was that tired," Moore said.
He puts away the sleeping bag and climbs down to the streets.
"I wonder what's going on right now? Place seems to be pretty empty."
He wanders round the streets of MT and decides to buy a paper, he read every page and got a good idea of what's going on
"Oh....... Wonder if I have enough cash for a ticket home"
A man jumped out of the shadows and tried to mug him.
"Heh-he I don't think so," Moore said.
He grabbed the mugger by his throat with his tail and threw him back down the alley.
"*sigh* Now..." he flips through the paper "..Where are the wanted ads.... Gravediggers seem to be pretty busy at the moment.....uh waiter at a restruant, erm no not since last time," his tail kept swinging about hitting customers and knocking over tables. "Must be something I can do...... hmmmm security guard wouldn't be a bad idea....... Of course looking through these obituaries I can see why there are vacancies..."

Both Spacy and the girl (both still in the comfortable position) were startled by a knocking on the door. The girl instantly turned white and tried to curl up entirely. Spacy remained a tad calmer, but not at all comfortable with this.
Kuso, how could that happen? If anyone was near here, I should have known about it already. This can mean 3 things... one, the Board found us and managed to sneak up to here without being detected. That's definitely not good, but also almost impossible. Second, his partner arrived, which also is not a good thing, cus my sanity would be compromised. Third... I have absolutely no clue, but it definitely couldn't be good. Oh well, best to open the door and find out.
Spacy whispers to the little ball that lied on the couch: "Stay still, I'll open the door and see who it is. Best is that I'm not acting suspicious, okay?"
There came a whimper from the little and now black furry ball that sounded like 'Okay'. That was enough for Spacy. He went to the door and opened it. But he wasn't prepared for this.
"Konnichiwa, oh wait, it's morning... Ohayo then? Never can tell time too accurately at my place."
Looking down, Spacy saw a little girl of about 13 years old, with blond, messy hair, dirtied up, baggy clothes and with a very cute smile looking at him.
This certainly is the fourth option... and that isn't supposed to happen often.
"H-hello Milady?.. What are you doing here?" Spacy stuttered a bit.
"Oh, just visiting. Came to take a look at your guest too." the little girl said skipping inside.
"Weeee, what a cute little cat!!!! I can see why you wanted to protect her. Don't worry, you can do so. I won't mind." said the girl, forcibly cuddling the cat.
This ain't going to be pretty...
"Help, who is this girl? Ack, let me loose you little human!" the cat screamed.
"Human? I ain't human... but outside your comprehension as well, so I won't bother. Even Spacy doesn't know much about me and he works for me even." said the little girl.
"Nani? Spacy? That his name? And he works for you? What is going on here?"
Time to step in.
"What she says is true, my name is Spacy and I do work for her. I do jobs for her whenever she needs me or my partner. Preferably without my partner though."
"Oh come on, you know you love working with her, even though you mostly don't get out unharmed."
"True, but tell me, why are you here, Milady?"
"Came to warn you and to give a hint about what to do. There'll be some guys, one of them silver, coming here right about now. I bet they'll trigger the explosive spell first, considering the route they're tracking. That should give you some warning. You can do with them as you want, but I'm sure you want to protect the girl, so don't make it too messy, ne?"
"Okay, guess it wouldn't be too long for that too happen. Anything else?"
The little girl seemed to think for awhile...
"Yeah, do you still have those neat cookies? I want one before I leave ^^."
"Help yourself, there over at the sink in the jar as usual."
"Wai! ^_^ Jummy, cookies. Be sure to stock up on them for when I get back. Oh, before I forget... The silver one is like you, though more on the aggressive side. He likes to fight to solve things, but I like him. Try to leave him intact? He could be a good addition to our side, even though he's working for good now. Evil will be wanting to dispose of him not long from now, so he might need help."
"Okay."
"Oh, and can you change into your werewolf form. You look so cute ^_^ I want to see that before I leave."
"Sigh, okay."
And with that (Spacy couldn't refuse such a cute little girl) Spacy began to shift to his werewolf form.
As usual with werewolves, his clothes shifted with him and didn't feel any strain from it. But the wolf Spacy turned into was strange all the same.
All covered in radiant blond fur except for two black stripes going from the back of his neck to his flanks, with an extremely white furred belly, keeping his clear blue eyes even in this form, contrasting with his black nose. But the most peculiar thing was the fact that he had two tails, both as blond as can be, but ending in a black tip.
"Kawaii ^^!! Okay, I'll be leaving now. Bye!"
"Bye" came the reply from the Spacy, the now entirely wolf.
Then the little girl vanished in her own little whateverherhomeis and all was silent.
"You're strange... Now what?" came the voice of the jet-black cat next to him (still with her eyes bulging a bit).
"We wait and hope for the best." was the reply.
*******
Moore was walking down one of the streets in MT when a group of...something darted past him.
"What was that!?"
He was too unsure of this place though to give into curiosity and headed for an apartment block, it looked pretty run-down just the way he liked it.
"Do you have any spare apartments?"
"Oh another freak, that'd be the sixth today..." the receptionist replied. "Sure number 87 it's the last room on the top."
Moore takes the key she handed him. "How much is it?"
"Nothing, I'm making a fortune selling videos of people like you coming in here."
"Uh........ alright."
"Now could you sign here, here and here."
Moore scribbles down his name.
"Hey kid you only got the one?"
He started walking towards the stairs and turned his head to face her.
"For now, yes."
He walked up the stairs meeting other tenants, when he reached the top floor he went into the room he would be spending his stay in MT for.
"Heh that makes 5 with demon wings, 4 one eyed people and 17 were-wolves, pretty much like the last place I stayed."
He shrugs and throws his things onto the bed, he opens up his hold-all and takes out several katanas, metal polish, a red crystal, two desert eagles and a burnt pic of him standing beside a mecha about his size.
"Yea that's pretty much all there, hope I didn't forget anything...now to see what I've got in my pack."
He shook out the bag and out dropped several sketchbooks, 2 silver daggers, a game boy advance, mobile phone, a few pics of his EX-GirlF and a burnt, battered, ragged and slashed trench-coat with a red bandanna of the same color.
"I need to start packing light since I'm on the road, why do I still have these pics." He tossed them out the window.
He put all his stuff away and jumped on the bed falling asleep.
*******
Karu managed to get off a slight smirk to herself after Tanetris left. She could have easily gotten into the other chamber-not that the six-tails needed to. A piece of work like this, in a Kitsune's hands, had powers of its own.
~Flash~
Karu leapt up to intercept the man in the Aussie Duster.
"You again."
Gorion smiled again, and nodded. "Yep."
"I take it you still have my plushie."
"This?" Gorion gestured to the kawaii stuffed fox in his hand.
Karu smiled and nodded. "You'd wanted to continue questioning us. Isn't it lovely when noone knows what's going on?" Another sly smile.
"Er...yes." Gorion may have been a bit confused by the fox's manner, but he wasn't going to let it show.
"Apparently, yer gajiin. In other words, thou art not from around here. Ah well, in these times it doesn't even seem to make that much of a difference. Barring the fact that if you were a bit more observant, you'd realize a few things. I don't know squat."
Or I don't have any information that I'm willing to tell you, Karu thought to herself.
"Heh, I'm just a lil ol' six-tailed fox walkin around on two legs, with a eyes for mischief. I'm the type who jumps in, then figures out how cold the water is. And frankly, I have about as much of an idea as you do. What I do know, is that there was another werewolf and a mystical neko of some kind also at the scene-they might know something juicy. Which is why at sundown, we're trackin' them down-with the 'elp o' wotevah nifty little gadgets Tannie here has."
Gorion blinked again, slightly fazed by the fox's sudden outburst.
Karu's face lit up, as if she had forgotten something.
"Yeah, I know about the author's tricks. I'm not stupid. By the way, there's food in the fridge iffen yer hungry."
"Thanks." Gorion started to head off in that direction.
Karu sat down, fondled her naginata/nunchaku, then winked at Tanetris.
"Fox is out of the bag now."
*******
After talking with Karu he was a bit more knowledgeable about what was going on.
"So she is a little bit more smarter than the rest of the Kitsune I know. Hmm maybe I should keep my eye on her."
Then after grabbing a big plate of food and a gallon of orange juice he heads back to the main room and sits down.
"Now you two probably want to know a little bit more about me. Well he already knows that I am an inspector from the U.S. supernatural division. I was recently transferred here to MegaTokyo to help calm down all the weird things that are happening. I mean these things are even weird for MegaTokyo. Also from what you've seen me do I have some powers of my own. Namely teleport which drains me a lot. That is why I have all this food on my lap. Oh one more thing I'm also telekinetic in other words I can move things with my mind."
*******
Moore gets up in his bed, puts on his jeans and walk over to the only window that hadn't been boarded up.
"Sigh, crescent moon...gives me a few weeks then, I need to get some connections here before I can start searching."
He put on a T-shirt, trenchcoat and bandanna, opened the window and jumped out landing on the roof of the next building, he carried my hold-all with the swords in it.
"I guess I better see what kind of things come out at night around here."
"YAWN.... Man I didn't realize I was that tired," Moore said.
He puts away the sleeping bag and climbs down to the streets.
"I wonder what's going on right now? Place seems to be pretty empty."
