Chapter Two
Calling in the Pros
What Kaname didn't know was that the room he was trapped in was really the basement of a grand orchestra hall—the home of the Fantastic Kazoos. Every day the orchestra members met there with their kazoos to fine tune their skills for their semi-annual concert. The band was especially proud of their two finest kazoo players in first and second chair: Senri Shiki and Hanabusa Aidou. The two were just practicing their duet when the wail echoed through the hall. Hanabusa tilted his head, listening. "Shiki, does that sound a lot like—"
"—Kaname?" Shiki finished. "Yeah it does."
"Well, should we investigate?"
Hesitating, Shiki blew a few random notes on his kazoo. "Yeah, I think we should…and I know just who to call." Shiki got out his cell phone and dialed a number. It took
a few rings for them to answer. "What do you want?" said the voice onthe other end of the phone.
"Hey, um, I need some help." Said Shiki nervously.
The voice paused. "Go on."
"See, our leader, pureblood vampire Kaname Kuran, has been kidnapped…we think." Hanabusa tried to ask what was going on by miming with his hands, but Shiki was too focused on the call to
notice. He must be talking with an important detective, or something of the sort.
The voice on the other end sighed. "All right. We'll send out our finest detective and his…assistant." They hung up immediately.
Shiki breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes…"
"What was that all about?" asked Hanabusa.
"That was Akatsuki."
"Kain?" Asked Hanabusa in surprise. "My cousin?"
"No, not your cousin, but there are rumors that he's joined." Shiki put his phone back in his pocket. "Akatsuki was originally an organization started by Uchiha Madara in the ninja world. Ninjas who abandoned their villages would sometimes join up with them. They're famous for their long black cloaks with red clouds on them."
"So why were you calling them when all we need is to find out who kidnapped Kaname?"
"Over that past few years, it has been turned into a detective agency."
Hanabusa nodded. "Oh, I get it. So when do we meet the detective?"
"Right now." Said a voice behind them.
