Dark Moon & Midnight Shadows
ch 5
"Come on Shu, admit it, the quiz wasn't that bad." Touma said as he, Shu, and Kasura were walking down the hall.
"Touma, if I admit that the quiz wasn't that bad, will you stop talking about it?" Shu asked as he raised an eyebrow at him. Touma thought about it for about a minute, and then looked over at Shu and nodded.
Kasura gave a small laugh, and then a frown started to appear. "What the..? Hey, that's my locker."
A large group of students were starting to form a semi-circle around Kasura's locker. Something was definitely causing one heck of a disturbance. When the three finally got there, they saw what all of the commotion was about. "Oh kuso!" Shu said as he held onto Kasura while she buried her face into his chest.
On Kasura's locker was the message gaijin, go home or else, and it was written in what seemed to be some kind of blood. The blood seemed to be running down slowly, indicating that it was still fresh. "Ok, ok break it up, go back to your classes," the dean said as he ushered the rest of the students away from the scene.
As the other students were whispered back and forth to each other while they were going back to their classes. Ryo, Shin, and Seji were on their way to meet up with Shu, Touma, and Kasura.
"Hey, what's going on?" Shin asked as he stopped one of the students that were passing them.
"Didn't you hear?" the boy asked.
"Hear what?" Seji asked as he raised an eyebrow at him.
"About the new student..." the boy replied. That was all of the information that was needed to get them concerned. Instead of waiting around to hear what he had to say, Ryo, Seji, and Shin ran down the hall and saw that Touma, and Shu were talking to the dean as Shu was holding onto Kasura.
"Kasura, are you ok? What hap..?" Ryo asked as they finally got there. Ryo didn't need to finish his question as they saw what happened to Kasura's locker. "Oh kuso."
"That seems to be the popular phrase used today." the dean replied as he looked over at the three.
"Sorry, but do you know who did this?" Ryo asked as he looked back at him.
"Unfortunately, no one saw who did it." the dean replied.
"I think that we know." Seji said as he crossed his arms.
"Oh really, and who would that be?" the dean asked curiously.
"Lao." Touma replied as he caught onto what Seji was thinking.
"Sorry to disappoint you boys, but Lao and his friends all have alibies, they were in my office when this happened." the dean said in a matter of fact tone.
"Then he paid someone to do this." Shu replied in slight anger.
"Again, I'm sorry Shu, but someone from campus security. or the cameras would have picked something up." the dean said as he shook his head.
Kasura pulled away from Shu's hold, "mind if we talk to campus security? I would also like to take a look at the tape too, if that's alright by you?" Kasura asked as she looked towards the dean.
"I don't know if I can allow you to do that, it's not procedure." the dean replied, "I'm sorry."
"So then, you're going to let whoever did this, to just get away?!" Shu asked with a frown.
"I'm sorry." the dean replied as he walked away.
"OI!" Shu yelled, as he was about to go after him.
"Shu, if he can't help, then he can't help." Kasura said as she grabbed onto his shoulder. Shu turned around and gave her a look of disbelief.
"Kasura, don't you want to catch whoever did this?" Shin asked.
"Of course I do." Kasura replied as she looked towards him.
"Then why won't you let me go after him?" Shu asked as he crossed his arms.
"Because, Shu, there's something about him that I don't particularly like. Something isn't
right." Kasura replied with a slight frown.
"What are you talking about?" Seji asked in slight confusion.
"Don't you find it just a little weird that every time that Lao and his group are involved, the dean is right there?" Kasura asked back. "It's like he knows what's gonna happen even before it happens. Pretty convenient, wouldn't ya say?"
"Now that I think about it. So desu ne?" Touma replied, "so then, I'm guessing that you already have a plan."
"Yea, you could say that." Kasura said with a smirk. "But I don't think that we should discuss it here."
"It seems that the gaijin is a lot smarter than we gave her credit for. So what are we going to do now?" Mei asked as they watched the security camera that was pointed at them.
"At the moment, we do nothing, but tonight is going to be a completely different story. Tonight we make the gaijin disappear, one way or another." the dean replied as he walked into the room where Lao and his group were waiting.
A few hours later...
"Kasura, what are you..?" Shin asked as she was almost done picking the lock.
"I almost. There, got it." Kasura replied with a smirk as she stood up and put away her lock pick set.
"Mind if I ask where did you learn how to do that? Or don't I want to know?" Touma asked as they carefully entered campus security's building.
Kasura gave a small laugh, "it's ok Touma, some friends of mine that worked in the pi business taught me."
"Ah." Touma replied as they headed over to the front desk.
"For some reason, I don't feel like this was such a good idea." Ryo said as he was starting to get a little nervous.
"Look Ryo, you guys didn't have to come. I've could have done this on my own." Kasura replied as they were looking around the desk for evidence of any kind.
"Hey what's the deal?" Shu asked as he was starting to show a little annoyance.
"Shu, what's wrong?" Seji asked as he glanced over towards him.
"The security tape, it's missing." Shu replied.
"Are you sure?" Ryo asked as they started to assemble around the security TVs.
"Yea, the tape isn't even in the TV." Shu replied as he hit the eject button showing that no tape came out.
"Looks like someone beat us to the punch." Kasura said as she and the Troopers started to walk towards the door.
"Yea, looks like it, so now what?" Shu asked as they were finally outside.
"I didn't realize that all of you had class this late at night." a voice said from above.
"You're the one from the park last night." Seji replied as they looked up and saw that it was definitely the same gargoyle.
"Why do I have a feeling that wherever she is, that panther that showed up last night too, isn't far behind." Kasura said as they all got into fighting positions.
"You are correct, gaijin," the gargoyle replied as the panther emerged out from nowhere.
"Oh man, if we transform now, then not only Kasura would know who we are, but so would that flying freak. What are we to do? We can't risk transforming." Ryo thought with a frown as he looked between Kasura and the gargoyle. Kasura saw the look on Ryo's and the other Troopers's faces, she saw that they were trying to make up their minds about a major decision.
"Well, here goes nothing," Kasura thought as she made up her mind. "Hey, you, yea you! Why don't you try and see if you can catch me, you flying rat!"
"Muko gaijin! You'll pay for that insult!" the gargoyle growled as she glared at her.
"You gotta catch me first." Kasura replied as she took off towards the university.
"Kasura!" Shu yelled as the gargoyle flew after her while the panther wasn't too far behind.
"What could she possibly be thinking?" Shin asked as they took off after them.
"I think, that Kasura wanted to buy us some time." Seji replied as they kept running.
"But why? Does she know that we..?" Shin asked, as they were getting closer to the university.
"Don't know Shin, we'll ask her later. Now we're going to have to transform in order to fight." Ryo replied, as they got ready to transform.
"Come now gaijin, why don't you just show yourself? Because if you don't, then we'll just go back and finish off your friends." the gargoyle said as she flew by.
"Oh man, I have to be completely out of my mind. Oh well, here goes nothing." Kasura thought as the gargoyle was coming around for another pass. Just as the gargoyle was just below her, Kasura jumped out of the tree and onto the gargoyle's back.
"Get off of me, gaijin!" the gargoyle yelled angrily as she was trying to get Kasura off. The gargoyle dived and rolled in different directions, but she held on with everything that she had.
Then the gargoyle had an idea, she swooped up high into the air, and then took a major dive towards the trees. The gargoyle saw a tree branch that was protruding out just enough, so that it would knock Kasura off. And that's exactly what the gargoyle did. She swooped just underneath the tree branch, making Kasura finally fall off and hit the ground as she landed on her back.
"Now gaijin, you die!" the gargoyle seethed, as she got ready to dive at Kasura.
