THE WERESIN.
Ch. 3. Touga.
"Big house, ey?" whispered Neji. He and Liru had broken into Dr. K-kos castle through the main entrance. It was very bright inside, because of the sun coming through the windows.
Liru looked around in the big hall, while Neji studied paintures and other different decorations to see if they were of any value.
"I don`t see any signs of my friends being here." said Liru. "Same goes for valubes. Even my freelancing makes more money than all this junk would."
"I thought we were looking for clues, not valubes." Neji rolled his eyes.
"Wait…" Liru stood still and sniffed. "Do you smell that?"
"Smell what?" Neji felt a weak scent. "Hmm… I can smell something, but I can`t determinate what it is."
"But I can…" Liru was drooling. "IT`S MATSUZAKA BEEF!" The mangaged to grab Lirus tail, but she was stronger at the moment and she was soon following the scent… With Neji trying to hold on to her tail.
The scent led them straight into a dark room. As she had said, it was a matsuzaka beef, nicly placed on a plate.
"Itadakimasu!" Liru grabbed it, but didn`t notice the string tied to it. A second later, she and Neji was trapped under a cage.
"I got a bad feeling about this." mumbled the boy.
A screen was lit on the wall infront of them, and the two teenagers heard someone laugh.
"Oh-hohoho! I can`t belive you fell for it again, werewolf!" Not suprisingly, it was K-ko.
"Again?" thought Neji, feeling they shrinked to black spots.
A surviliance camera zoomed in on Liru. "You really are stupid, aren`t you?"
"Where is my friends, K-ko?" shouted Liru and got up on her legs. She grabbed the cage, but backed away quikly. Her fingers had been burned by the cagebars.
"Of course, the bars are covered in silver. But I have done some adjustments on it too." Four bolts locked the cage to the floor!
"Now you can`t escape, no matter what you would try. I`ll come and pick you up soon enough." K-ko laughed again. Kongo was standing in the background with a sinister smile.
"Im not so sure about that…" said Neji and came into K-ko`s view.
"What?! A human in aliance with a werewolf?! Impossible!" K-ko was for some reason freaking out.
"I don`t care if you think it`s impossible or not. But a simple cage like this won`t stop us from reaching our target…" He rolled up his right sleeve, revealing something strapped to his human wrist. For Liru, it looked like two long metal- bars with a triangle on the edge, pointing upwards.
"TOUGA!" shouted Neji and made a downward swing with his right arm. The cagebars broke, and he quikly bent the others to the side, creating a passage for him and Liru.
"WHAT?! What was that?" yelled K-ko and shaked the screen on her side. "What did you just do?"
He glanced at the busty woman on the screen. "What does touga means? It is japanese." said Neji with a smile.
"Touga…? Swordfang?" K-ko was confused, and became even more confused when the unkown boy gave her tumbs up.
"Correct! And now (this might sound clicè)…" He walked over to the camera and looked into it. "You can run, but you can`t hide. We will find you, and make you give back Aiko, Pachira and Yuma."
"Are you challanging me?" asked K-ko coldly. Liru was really unsure who she should be scared of.
Neji destroyed the camera, and turned to Liru, holding out a hand. "Come on, lets get out of here." Liru closed her eyes for a tad longer than a normal blink. Then she took his hand. "Good idea…" She smiled. "…Neji-kun, Ail-kun."
He blushed. "W-we`ll find the girls. A simple female Frankenstain won`t get in the way for us." Liru nodded, and felt alot better already.
The sun was still shining outside and it was several hours til it would go down.

He stepped outside the circle and looked around in the flat terrain. "They`re here somewhere. How much time do we got left, Yun?" asked a strong looking man. His skin was slightly tanned, and his muscels were fully visible.
The big jeans was dirty near his feets, and a golden brown tail was hanging down right over his butt. The yellow eyes were full of pride, but also of worriness.
A woman, wearing a purple dress, looked in a small book covered in leather. "About 10 days and 18 hours left until they arrive." Short tuds of brown hair could be seen under the big black hat, and she had a wand strapped to her waist.
A big, BIG man stepped past her. "We… must… hurry… then." he said slowly, before he began to wind a big bolt on the left side of his head.
"It would be bad if they came before we found them." he continued.
"I agree with Frank, but why did we have to end up here? It`s still broad daylight and my people can`t stand it! Let`s set up a camp here and continue at night, it would be better for everyone. Don`t you agree, Kiba?" A second woman, holding an umbrella, dried the sweat of her forehead.
"Phua… Even this summerdress ain`t good enough." Kiba had a hard time looking away from the (if not daring) outfit his second female colleage was wearing.
"Pakine, we can`t afford it…" began Kiba. "I think it`s a great idea." Yun smiled.
"Can we afford it, Yun?" asked Kiba. "If we move as soon the sun has gone down, yes, but we have to move much faster."
A big group of strange looking humans were gathered in a country in the north. Most of them had some sort of weapon, and most of them had a worried face. Some where really eager and couldn`t wait until a certain happening, others were calm.

At the same time, NASA, chiefmanagers office.
"I… Impossible…" Carl Carter was stunned. The grip on the report he had just read through thightened, nearly ripping the paper.
"Sir… Are you alright?" asked the assistent, Bruce Carter, Carls brother. "How much time left is it until it hits us?" asked Carl.
A radaroperator was standing infront of Carls desk. "A little more than ten days. We could try to nuke the storm when it`s in range."
Carl shaked his head. "Get me the president… I`ll inform him at once. Go back to your post." The operator left while Bruce asked for a secure line to the president.
"Is it really that bad?" he asked his brother. "Do you remember "Armageddon", Bruce?"
"Yeah." Carl looked at his brother. "It`s worse than that…" he said.
"It`s a huge storm of meteors coming straight at us. What we need, is a miracle bigger than anything. If it hits… We won`t be able to survive it."
****************
A meteorstorm is going to hit Earth? A strange group of people is searching for someone, but who? Will Liru and Neji be able to find Pachira, Yuma and Aiko before it`s too late? Too late for what? Stay tuned for more action in THE WERESIN!
