Evening - Classroom 212-G

It was the end of the day and Reishi was in her last class of the day. The class was cooking class and it was her 2nd favorite class after 's class. She liked it because she could make and eat delicious food of any variety.

The classroom tables were filled with the following dishes: Mushroom soup, bitter greens with tomatoes the size of peas, rare roast beef slices as thin as paper, noodles in a green sauce, cheese that melts on your tongue served with sweet blue grapes. The servers, all young people dressed in white tunics move wordlessly to and from the table, keeping the platters and glasses full. It smelled wonderful and made the students feel proud of the dishes they made.

Teacher: Alright everyone! That's a good day's work done. You are all dismissed.

The students gleefully got up to go home.
Reishi was about to do the same and go over shimamura's house to see what was the deal with the source code. When someone approached her.

?: H-Hey reishi.

Reishi was packing her bag and looked up to see the busty yellow haired girl who she had acquainted with the other day.

Reishi: Oh… um. You're mina, right….?

Mina: Y-Yes.

Reishi: Nice to see you again. You doing well?

Mina: Y-Yes.

It was then silent as mina struggled to keep up the conversation.

Reishi: Is there something you want to say?

Mina: Y-Yes. Congratulations on your victory!

She applauded.

Reishi: Thank you!

Mina: Y-You're welcome.

Mina: …

Reishi: …

Another awkward silence hit them. This one was more painful than the last one.

Reishi: A-Are you sure that all you wanted to say?

Mina: N-No…. Uh I mean. Yes!

Reishi: …?

Mina: Um… I'm sorry this is so awkward….

Reishi: It doesn't have to be, I promise! Why don't you sit down and we can have a nice conservation like last time-

Mina: M-Maybe later….

Mina left in a hurry. Her hair swished back and forth and her face was a s red as a crab.

Reishi: *Scratches head* What a weird girl. But I can tell she means well. Maybe in the future we can become friends.

She said to herself as she got from her desk and proceeded to exit the classroom with her hope to Shima's house.

After leaving school, Reishi headed to shima's house like the girl had asked.

Reishi was currently standing in front Of Shima's House with a grin on her face. She looked up at shima's House.
It was Certainly Larger than the other houses on the block and could almost be described as a mansion, But it wasn't as large as Reishi's mansion and certainly didn't have the finesse or grandness to be called a mansion in the first place.

*Knock* Reishi knocked on the door.

?: I Got it! I got it!

*Scurrying*
She heard someone rushing to door.
They opened it with utter fervor and greeted reishi like an excited dog.

?: Hi!

It was a small boy, Probably about 6 Years old. He had silver hair just like shima and was wearing a small T shirt that only came up to his navel. Revealing his cute belly.
It was clearly shima's younger brother.

Reishi: Hello there! Are you Shima's younger brother?

Reishi asked looking down at the boy.

Shima's Brother:Yup! Are you shima's girlfriend?

Reishi: U-Um. No. I'm Just her friend.

Shima's Brother: Really? Because big sis talks about you about you a lot.

Reishi: Oh she does, Does she?

Shima's brother: Yes! Sometimes I even hear her make weird sounds in her bed-

Shima: Kita! Isn't rude to talk to guests without letting them in first?

Shima came from another door. She was wearing casual clothes like you would see in anybody's house. Her hair was a bit ruffled and breasts were exposed somewhat.

Shima: Go upstairs Kita. You know You're supposed to be doing your homework!

Kita: Ok Onee-San!

Kita affectionately hugged his sisters leg and went upstairs.

Reishi: Ehehe. You never me told you had a younger brother!

Reishi exclaimed.

Shima: *Tch* He's a pain in my ass, That's why.

Reishi: That's not very nice shima…. Plus your brother is super cute!

Shima: Try dealing with him 24 hours a day, You'll change.

Shima snarled.

Shima: *Sigh* Just follow me, Let's decode this source code once and for all.

Shima declared.
Shima led Reishi into the foyer and the girls stood in front of a large black door with the words -L-a-b on it.
*breee*
Shima grasped the handle of said door and opened it. Reishi Followed suit and entered the beautiful lab.

Reishi: Whoa….

Reishi was amazed by what she saw.

On the inside of the lab was colored pure white with gold slabs sometimes coated in between floor tiles. The ceiling had the words "Hamami bio" on it's top making it clear what the lab was for. On the walls were tanks and cages of various animals mostly reptiles and insects but some birds and small mammals too. While they were confined to their limited spaces they seemed happy with their lives.

Reishi: This is amazing! All these animals and gadgets, Did you build it all yourself.

Shima: Nah it's all my father's work. He's a Biologist Working for a company and-

Shima stopped herself mid sentence.

Shima: You know what? Thats a story for another time.

Reishi: Well Regardless, I didn't take you for an animal-Person shima.

Shima: There's lots of things about me that'll surprise you reishi.

Shima said as she cracked her knuckles and went over to her computer. The computer itself was the largest the room. Kt's screen covered 24 x 30 inches or 156 square centimeters.

Shima waved her hand and magically a keyboard popped out from the desk in front of the computer.

*Hissssss*

Reishi: Eeek!

On the Keyboard was a long slender snake. It was about 2 feet in length with red,yellow and black coloration.

Shima: Ah. Tasuka-chan. Escaped again I see.

Shima casually said.

Snake: Hissssss~

The snake affectionately hissed back at her wrapping around her arms.

Reishi: *Shudders*

Shima: Scared of snakes, Reishi?

Reishi: N-No! I just think their…. Gross.

Tasuka: *Hiss*

As it were replying back, Tasuka hissed at reishi.

Shima: Well I don't think he likes you either.

Shima responded, typing on her computer.

Reishi: *Sigh* Why couldn't you just have a dog or something…..

Reishi: (A dog…..)

Reishi's thoughts went back to her own dog…. Hiro and the shadowmancers had made him suffer. Cutting off his paw and locking him in a cage, like he was just a wild hound. Her prayers were with him as she waited for shima to boot up her computer.

Computer: Welcome Master shima.

After about 10 minutes of waiting, The computer finally booted up. The interface was now present on the screen and a password login was displayed.
Shima typed in said password and it opened up her home page.

Shima: Alright let's see what this is about….

She opened up a program called Dcodr.
The program mainframe was colored Yellow and grey with several tabs on it for research. The one shinma was on, had a speciality for decoding
She took the paper with the source code on it, out of her butt pocket.

Shima: 5...9...2….3...4...5...7….7...6.
..5
She read it and entered the digits that were not 0 or 1 into the decoding program. There was at least 5 dozen of them so it took another 30 seconds.

Shima: Ok. You ready reishi?

The full set of numbers had been typed out and now were on the glorious screen.

Reishi: I think so…. But honestly I don't know really know what to expect from this.

She replied.

Shima: I don't know either…. But hopefully we'll get a clue about who hacked my RX-5. Now then let's get puppy started!

*Click*
Shima tapped a button on her keyboard. Which initiated the decoding process. Reishi braced herself as the Numbers began to rearrange themselves into something else entirely.

Reishi: ….!

Shima: What the hell?

The numbers decoded, Starting to form words Then those words became sentences and those sentences became paragraphs and that paragraph was a full Blown letter of darkness.
