Past Slash I: When Everything Begin

It's just one calm night like every day. Everyone is busy with their either late-business or going home. The street, especially in some part of a city where there is a shrine reside by, is actually completely calm. No single person on the outside as they're resting in the building. Everything looks calm until an alarm sound blaring out, warned everyone on there.

"There's an intruder!" shouting a miko, who was sounding the alarm.

"Find them! Don't let them escape!" said the one's in charge for the shrine, "Who's the intruder!?"

"She is—"

Before the miko can answer, an explosion occurred near the gate of the shrine. Everyone got surprised and heading to there. Every single person on the location tried to extinguish when the other tried to find the intruder. Soon one of the personnel saw a shadow running in the darkness and standing above the burning gate. Everyone can only catch the small detail of the intruder's appearance.

It's a female figure dressed in black hooded coat that cover her entire face and overall body. Her face which hidden inside of the hood is covered by distorted skull-like silver mask and her hands is covered by black gloves. One thing that is different is the holder on her waist, which holding a long size black katana in some carrier-like waist device.

Not long after that, she got surrounded by several girls wielding a katana while gleaming in white light. They are Toji. Even though she got surround from all direction, the intruder didn't react at all, until she seems laughing with her heavily distorted manipulated voice before she raise one of her hand. One of Toji see it as an act of resistance and dash toward her. However, that Toji miss her aim as her target flick her finger and suddenly disappear from her spot. Every single of them tried to found her, but no one can found her whereabouts, means the intruder has escape.

"Who's that intruder?" one of personnel asked to the other one.

"It probably—"

(Next day, in morning)

"Kaitoji make an action again?" a black haired with some white streaks and azure colored eyes girl in brown uniform said as she read the news report on her desk. She's currently on her office, checking some data until she got called over to Special Sword Administration Bureau headquarters due the said news, "First thing in the morning, rather than breakfast I must deal with this!? Can those people do it right at least once!?" then, a knocking can be heard outside her office's door, "come in if you have important business."

"Rinko Kurogane-san, there's another report I have to deliver," the one who said and get inside the office is Yomi Satsuki, one of Elite Guard of the Origami Family, shorten as Elite Guard. She's a girl with medium-length white hair with black ends and brown eyes. She wears a similar uniform as the former girl, which name Rinko, consist of standard uniform of Elite Guard aside from her black leggings and white thigh-high boots and a pair of black gloves, "Here's the report."

"Wait… didn't this report must goes to Yume?" Rinko said as when she read the report Yomi given. She wears a similar uniform but with addition of white hooded sleeveless jacket over her clothes, black with white x pattern stockings and black boots. She's one of Elite Guard and her mostly job is dealing with the movement of Noro all around the country, including the fact about someone going around stealing them, "Where is she right now?"

"She's not in her office," Yomi answered.

"Did she just ditch her job on me again!?" Rinko shouted, which only to be starred emotionless by Yomi as she keep standing upward and seeing her reaction, "Alright… I'll deal with this… and her later. I have another important things to do so you can go… and ask Yume to go to my office if you see her."

"Alright," she said before bowing and leaving the room. However, not long after that she come back with tray of food on her hands before place it on nearby desk, "This is some food for you."

"Oh! Thank you, Yomi! I'm really hungry since this morning."

"Hn," Yomi answered with little smile, which rarely seen due her natural emotionless face.

Rinko has known Yomi since her time in Renpu. She doesn't have a lot of friend as she rarely talks to the other unless it needed and for a strange reason she always called by the president of the school for something, which make others taking some distance from her, but not Rinko. They had happen to meet when they got accepted by the school and going to be given an Okatana. For some reason, both of them didn't given one, which means can be said that they are failure. Many happen afterward until they're receive their respective Okatana and officially become active Toji. Even if there's difference in their way, they both befriend each other, with Rinko is the first who takes the initiative. Their friendship is still going until they're graduate from middle school section and going to high school one and finally become one of Elite Guard.

"By the way," Rinko looks at the report while enjoying her breakfast, "Soon we would have the National Swordsmanship Tournament. Did you plan to see it?"

"No, unless I needed to be there," Yomi answered.

"Really, did you have anything you want to do other than staying all along beside Yukari-sama?" she then took the drink before notice what she just drunk, "Ugh… tea again? You know that I like black coffee, right? Especially in the morning."

"Tea also good in the morning," Yomi answered as if stated it.

"You and your taste…"

Even among their friendship, there is one thing they can't disagree to each other, their favorite drink. Rinko likes coffee, especially black one while Yomi likes tea, especially the black one too. There are many occasion where they are bickering to each other about which one is the best drink. It's still happen even after they become Elite Guard, but has been lessen due they have more important things to do than bickering all day about their favorite drink.

"Ugh… so much to deal in here. Oh, you can go now unless you have another thing you want me to do," Rinko said.

"No, I don't. Then, excuse me," Yomi said before going out from the room. Once Rinko saw her leave the place, she stand from her seat and look out from the window behind her.

"Things would goes as I planned," she said as her expression turn to serious, "Yukari has begun her move, so I must make my move too," but not long after that when she enjoy the tea from Yomi, the door suddenly sprung open as a girl with light pink hair stand on there.

"Rinko-chan~~ I come to play~~!" she said before she dashed toward her and drew her Okatana.

"Nice timing! I also have something for you!" before that girl sword reach her, Rinko sidestep before draw out her own Okatana, Shiroyasha as she throw the cup into the air. She then attack her once but the girl block it and jump back, as Rinko catch the cup she just throw and gently place it on her desk. The girl from before is not done as she lunge toward her again slash her with incredible speed. However, Rinko able to block her attack too with incredible reaction speed before thrown the girl away from her place, "You better start to make some excuse of why you make me deal with your own crap before I make one with my blade, Yume."

"W-well, you see… I woke up late and—" Yume immediately raise her sword in right time before Rinko's blade hit her chest.

"And…?"

"It's boring— it's hurt!" she jolted in pain as Rinko use her time to talk with literally bump her fist on her head.

"If you find it boring then do your job properly! Really, I know you 're such a battle maniac but can you at least take the consideration of people who must deal with your paperwork!?" she said like a teacher scolding her student, which is Yume who is sitting in seiza as she being lectured. About one hour later, Rinko finally done with her lecture, "Is that clear?"

"Y-yes…" Yume said as she felt her legs almost numb. Even though it's already become occasionally but not daily routine, this is one thing that always happen between them. Is not like Rinko is very strict, but she doesn't like too much work thrown into her, considering her position that have already too much to deal with for a 15 years old (turned 16 this year) girl like her, "A-anyway, Rinko-senpai. Did you know that mysterious Toji acting again?"

"Did you forgot that most of her information directly sent to me first before I turn it to Yukari-sama for her permission for further investigation," she said with sigh before sheathed her Okatana and lean on her desk, "Soon all of this will drive me crazy! I need a vacation or two…"

"That must be hard," Yume commented.

"You don't know how…" Rinko said before she paused and remember something, "Ah, forget it. I'll deal with this later as I still have something to do."

"Eh? Is that something fun?"

"Something 100% boring if you asked me," Rinko answered with flat tone, "I'll go out. If anyone asking where I am, tell them I go out for work… and get some fresh air."

"Right, senpai!"

"And can you stop calling me 'senpai'? We are literally in the same height in here."

"But you become Elite Guard first before me and you're older than me too!"

"Even though you're stronger than me," Rinko stated.

"And that's also wrong too!" Yume disagreed, "I know you're holding back all this time when we're sparring! Just when will you get serious!?"

"Really? I think I had pretty serious there," Rinko said when giving a wonder expression, "Anyway, I better go now before my workload increased before I know it."

"Alright, see you later!" Yume said before she dash out from the room, leaving Rinko alone.

"Really, that girl… always energetic as ever," Rinko muttered with smile, "Okay, let's go preparing for another job to do."

Later on the night, a lone figure is seen standing over the rooftop of building not far from a shrine's complex, which several Toji can be seen patrolling area. That figure is none other than Rinko, but rather than dressing in her usual Elite Guard uniform, she is currently put on a black hooded coat which actually the very same garment that used by Kaitoji, with her mask on her hand.

"One time I'm a respected Elite Guard," she lend her right arm to side, "while in other time, I'm also your well-known phantom Toji," the she lend her left arm which hold the mask to side too before she giggle over her own action and then sighed in tired sound, "Ugh… I really don't like this two timing work. I really need those vacations soon. Maybe… after all of this," she then put the mask on before testing her sound, "Testing, testing. Alright, everything is good."

She then looks toward the place, especially the place where her target is, "It's time for move," she then jump out from the building, gliding over the wall that separate the outside and inside before slowly and silently landed on the ground, "Kaitoji, ready for action."

And thus, her daily works has begun again. Two side, one coin. A dangerous job and life, but necessary for her plan. The plan, which will involve the fate of world and two fated Toji.
