Chapter 12- Time to Burn

"Most of the time I followed him he went to two places; one certain bar, I think it was the bar Kyo stumbled into. The other was an apartment building, probably Knox's," Momiji reported. "There were a couple of times where he went other places. Most of those times they were other bars. A couple of times he went to weird places. Once he went to this small shop called, "Yuko's" or something, I don't know anything about that. But it just felt weird. Anyway, most of those times he was with Knox and they were laughing afterwards. I've never heard Haru laugh like that but I don't like it. It sounded kind of sadistic. Knox was laughing too."

"Maybe they were having a good time?" Shigure offered up.

"Oh, I don't doubt that," Momiji sighed. "It was how they were having a good time that worries me. That laughing was very devious. Like they'd just done something very wrong."

"And this Knox, what about him?" Kyo asked annoyed.

"Completely eerie," Momiji told them. "He had this white doctorish trench coat that was all tattered on the bottom and there were red splotches on it like blood or something. He had those wrist thingies on- they were green and black. The moment I saw him I... I don't like him. Not one bit. He reminds me of two things: Akito and a wolf, don't ask me how."

The rabbit crossed his arms in resolve. Yuki shivered involuntarily thinking of Akito.

"So, basically Haru goes to the bar and then home with Knox," Kyo asked annoyed at coming up with nothing.

"What about that shop? What's the name of it, again?" Shigure asked.

"Yuko's, heard of it?" Momiji asked the writer. Shigure shook his head sadly.

"I think that shop is at least worth investigating. Can you give me the directions?" Shigure asked the rabbit with a sigh. Momiji nodded and Shigure gave him a piece of paper. Momiji jotted down the directions as best he could. "If I get lost I guess I can always ask someone. Someone's bound to know."

"Let's hope, anyway," Yuki sighed.

"Well now what?" Shigure sighed putting his head in his hands.

"Nothing at the moment," Hatori sighed.

"Accept Shigure going to that shop," Kyo pointed out.

Shigure nodded, "I'm on it."

Shigure strolled down the street trying to follow Momiji's directions as best he could; but he was still getting lost.

A short female came into view, and he stopped to ask her for directions.

"I'm sorry I don't know the place that you're asking for, so I can't help you," she said and went on her way.

After asking several more people one finally knew what he was talking about.

"Oh, Yuko's! Why that's only a couple streets down, I love that place!" the girl said enthusiastically and cheered to herself, she quickly elaborated further until he thanked her, "I know you'll love it, too! Have fun!"

With that she ran off.

"That's an odd one," Shigure said silently to himself.

Several minutes later he saw the red neon sign; at least her directions were good. Shigure crossed the street and stepped into the shop. The inside looked to be some sort of reception area.

The women at the counter stared at him. Her eyes were those of amber; almost red. Long black hair that went down past where Shigure could see, strands splayed out everywhere. She wore a short floral patterned kimono. Her skin was cream-colored to the point that it was almost ivory. She wore red nail polish to match the red flowers on her kimono. Smoke from some weird type of herbal cigarette engulfed most of the space around her.

"Welcome to Yuuko's; I'm Yuuko Ichihari the hostess here. How may I help you?" she said, her voice was low and sultry and she took a puff of her cigarette and blew out.

"Umm… I was wondering what your prices were," Shigure stammered.

"You don't know my shop do you? You're looking into the white and black haired individual?" She sighed glancing at him from the side. A small smile spread across her lips, and she tilted her head his way.

"Umm… yeah… a lot of people come here looking for him?" Shigure sweated.

"No," she said simply, "no one has. He doesn't come in here much."

"Than how did you know?" Shigure asked confused.

"Wouldn't you like to know," she said smiling.

"Are you psychic!" Shigure asked half kidding. She nodded. "Well then do you know what I'm going to ask next?"

"Your still wondering about my shop," she sighed and took a puff, letting the smoke out slowly. "No, there's nothing illegal going on here. This is a simple spa and tea shop."

"Spa and tea shop?" Shigure asked aloud, while thinking, 'how weird.'

"Mistress, we're out of lavender oil!" A little girl came running in followed by another one. They looked almost identical, except for their hair. One had rather long hair done in pigtails and the other's hair was shoulder length framing her face with little balled up pigtails at the top. She turned to them as they spoke.

"Oh, well then go and get some," she told them.

"Yes, Mistress!" they said and ran off giggling.

She turned back to him and said with a smile. "They're so precious."

There were several moments of silence.

"Oh, yeah," she said and turned back to him, "this is a spa and tea shop like I said and that is all."

"A spa and tea shop?" Shigure repeated and thought, 'is she on repeat or something?'

"There are things for the spa in the back," Yuko sighed and waved her hand as the smoke created a ring. She took another puff, "And as you can see there are tea is out here."

"So, what was the person I'm looking for doing here?" Shigure asked, he hardly thought Haru had come here for a massage.

"Haru and Knox were roughing up my customers again," she sighed poignantly saying their names, and a smile formed on her face, a sly one. "I guess it really can't be blamed if their jobs come in here."

"Roughing up your customers? Jobs?" Shigure asked probing further.

She smiled at him again, "I'm afraid if you're not a customer than you must leave. I have other work to do."

Shigure bowed respectfully and thanked her.

"Wow," Momiji said after Shigure had told them. "A spa?"

"But what about what she said about Haru and Knox roughing up customers?" Kyo asked.

"I told you, she wouldn't elaborate any further," Shigure sighed.

"Haru roughs people up for other people?" Yuki asked thoughtfully.

"No, Haru-san would never do that!" Tohru exclaimed.

"I think you're wrong," Hatori sighed, "but I truly hope you're right."

"Maybe we should ask to meet this Knox guy," Tohru said pensively.

"I don't think that's a good idea," Yuki sighed worriedly.
