Yeah, I know I haven't updated. That's because I have a life you know...well no, not really, but I like to pretend I do. :(
Chapter 2: Returning Back
Karasuma's car pulled up next to the sidewalk as Sakaki with his motorcycle followed behind.
"Ok guys. He should being passing by there soon." Michael said over Karasuma and Sakaki's communicators.
Sakaki got off his bike and took off his helmet as Karasuma got out of her car as well. They both walked up to each other and nodded.
"So, Miss Karasuma, you sure you're not too rusty there?" Sakaki asked Karasuma giving her a sly smile as they looked out waiting for the witch.
"Whatta you mean by that?" Karasuma said angry turning towards Sakaki.
"Nothing of course." Sakaki said smiling looking away.
Some time passed and after a few moments Karasuma spoke out saying, "I actually enjoyed not having to hunt any witches lately, but it's still our job to do so." she said sighing.
Sakaki began loading his gun when he noticed that they didn't use orbo any more. "I guess we'll have to kill witches like they do back in HQ."
"That's right." Karasuma said with a low voice as she too slowly began loading her gun.
After a few minutes Karasuma asked Michael, "Michael, where is that witch you were talking about. There's no sign of him at all."
"I know. It's strange. He usually comes earlier. It's a lot later at night then normal." Michael replied.
The full moon shined the night with a few clouds covering it as they passed by as Karasuma and Sakaki waited. The sound of cars could be heard at a distance, but for the most part the street was dark and silent. Karasuma and Sakaki looked down the sidewalk at the direction where the witch would be coming, but all they could see and hear were the streetlights and the wind.
"Well, is he coming or not?" Sakaki asked Michael impatient.
"Don't worry guys. I can see him over the surveillance camera. He's coming, just about to turn at the corner." Michael responded.
"Finally." Sakaki said as he and Karasuma took out their guns.
The witch walked slowly wearing a jacked and jeans all in blue. He turned at the corner next to the side of the building and stopped after a few steps.
"What is he doing?" Karasuma said looking at the witch standing motionless.
Quickly, the witch ran to the other side of the street and began running away. "He's getting away!" Sakaki cried out as both him and Karasuma ran after him.
Sakaki ran ahead and started aiming at the witch, but before he could get a good aim, the witch turned the next corner. "Damn it! I nearly had him." Sakaki said to himself.
Karasuma and Sakaki chased after him as they saw the witch run up some stairs into an abandoned dilapidated building with its windows nailed with wood.
"You guys be careful. I can't see what's going on inside that building." Michael said to them concerned.
Karasuma and Sakaki followed the witch inside, but they were unable to spot him. "Do you hear that? The witch is running up the stairs." Karasuma told Sakaki.
"Then let's not let him get away." Sakaki sprinted through the empty room to the stairs up the next floor.
As he reached the second floor, he saw a quick glimpse of the witch's back moving up the next floor.
"This guy isn't too smart." Sakaki thought to himself. "There's only three floors and he won't have any place left to go."
"Sakaki! Don't go to ahead of me!" Karasuma cried out.
Sakaki didn't even notice how far back she was, but he thought he nearly had the witch cornered. Sakaki finally reached the third floor breathing heavily pointing his gun trying to find the witch. Sakaki finally spotted the witch next to some opened windows in the empty room.
"I finally caught you. Everything's going to be all over now." Sakaki spoke out to the witch moving closer to him.
"No." the witch replied, "You don't have me."
"What?" Sakaki thought to himself.
The witch used his powers and throughout a strong gust of wind. Sakaki couldn't see well with all the air in his eyes, but still began to shoot. Sakaki fired his gun, but couldn't hit the witch after three times. After the third shoot the witch saw how close the bullets were getting and through out another stronger gust of wind pushing Sakaki back to a window behind him breaking the nailed wood a bit. Sakaki fell to the floor as his head and back had been hurt.
"Sakaki!" Karasuma cried out as she reached the top of the stairs.
Karasuma aimed her gun at the witch, but before she could shoot the witch used his power on her too, pushing her back to the wall.
"So these are the STN-J hunters. This wasn't even a challenge at all. I was expecting more." the witch said out loud.
Sakaki, still holding his gun, aimed as fast as he could and fired a few times. A bullet hit the witch in the shoulder that made him loose his balance. Karasuma also aimed and fired her gun hitting the witch twice. The witch having been shot three times fell to the floor. Karasuma and Sakaki put their backs to the wall catching their breaths seeing how they had finally took down the witch they had caused them so much trouble.
The next day Solomon agents at the STN-J building were questioning Sakaki and Karasuma.
"Whatta suppose they're talking about in there Michael?" Dojima asked looking at the room.
"The hunt last night of course. You'd know about it if were actually here." Michael replied.
Karasuma and Sakaki sat down in some chairs with a table in the center of the room as two agents stood asking them questions.
"So that's all the happed, right? There's nothing you'd like to add to that?" One of the agents asked Karasuma and Sakaki.
"No, that's about it." Sakaki said.
The agents looked at them suspiciously, but finally the second agents said, "I guess we're done here. Lets get going."
The agents left the room and went out the doors towards the elevator not saying anything. Karasuma and Sakaki could finally talk to each other after the agents had left.
"Man, why did they asks so many questions? We already told them what happened in our reports." Sakaki told Karasuma annoyed.
"I know what you mean. I guess they don't really trust us as much anymore. We did use the orbo, not to mention that we went against Zaizen and infiltrated the factory like that to help out Robin." Karasuma said.
"Yeah, but that wasn't our fault. We had to do all those things and I don't care what Solomon thought about Robin. She's still was our partner." Sakaki said angrily.
"Don't get all angry. I'm on your side, remember?" Karasuma said.
They left the room walking back to their desks as Sakaki sarcastically told Dojima, "Dojima, you're alive! I don't see you hear that much any more. I though you probably died in solo mission or something."
"Very funny. It just so happens that you're going to be my partner soon because the chief thinks that I don't do much around here. Besides, I do a lot around here. It's just that nobody notices." Dojima said, "Karasuma will be getting a new partner from HQ. I guess we'll be spending a lot more time together then Sakaki." Dojima said smiling giving him a wink.
"Oh great." Sakaki sighed thinking how Dojima would be as a partner.
"Huh, where did you hear that?" Karasuma asked.
"I over hear the chief say that today." Dojima said.
"Hey Michael, can you check out what the database says about this new hunter?" Karasuma asked Michael.
"Sure Miss Karasuma." Michael said starting to search as everyone in the room grouped together curiously watching Michael's computer screen, "That's interesting."
"What is?" Karasuma asked.
"Miss Karasuma, how many bullets did you say you two shoot the witch with and where did you two shoot him from?" Michael said puzzle.
Karasuma replied, "Three. Why?"
"Well, it appears from the autopsy, two bullets were found on his chest and one on his shoulder, but the one on his shoulder came through the back." Michael said thinking about what they had said, "You guys didn't shoot him from behind while you were chasing him, did you?"
"That's strange. I'm pretty sure we didn't. I'm sure we just shoot him from up front, but I don't think a bullet could have bounced back." Sakaki told Michael.
"Hey, maybe that's why they interrogated us like that." Karasuma realized.
"But how could a bullet hit the guys back if you fire up front, unless..." Dojima began to ponder about it.
Michael didn't even search anymore for the info on new agent and became too concentrated with searching, but then he came across something peculiar. "That's not right. This shouldn't be here anymore." Michael said wondering.
"What is it Michael?" Dojima was curious.
"It might me an error. Perhaps somebody forgot to delete this, but I doubt that Solomon would make mistakes like this one and not update." Michael said as everyone focused in at the monitor screen reading the statement.
OK, somebody please give me a review. I'm getting depressed since hardly anyone even says anything. At least say it's bad or something.
