Chapter 3

"Kuga-han…"

"Yeah, Fujino?" The blunette sat in her chair, elbows digging into her thighs as she watched the girl's restroom.

"Why are we at this club?" The confused Orphan tilted her head to the side, more questions popping up in her head.

"We're looking for the Orphan that freed us. She should be coming out of the girl's bathroom in a few minutes." There was a boredom in her voice as she stared blankly at the door, spinning the bar stool from left to right every few seconds.

Red eyes widened from behind dark sunglasses at what she was told. If that was the case, she owed this person so much. "Are you two gonna order something?" The bartender asked, silently wondering if they were a couple.

Natsuki shook her head while Shizuru politely told him that they were looking for someone. When he asked who, the brunette couldn't answer, for she didn't even know what the Orphan's name was, or what they looked like. Let alone what their gender is.

"A redhead." Was Natsuki's blunt answer. The bartender swept his eyes across the crowded club, spotting several redheads. "Yeah, good luck with that." An awkward feeling came over him as he quickly excused himself to fill out someone's order. 'Strange girls.'

The sound of a bar stool screeching against tiled floor caused Shizuru to flinch in surprise. By the time she opened her eyes, she saw her companion far onto the dance floor, heading straight for the restroom; a dead serious determination on her face.

Not far from the restroom was a redhead, dusting off her skirt. Lime green eyes scanned the crowd for a prey as she fiddled with the phone in her pocket. "YOU!" A deep voice shouted, catching her off guard. She looked up to see an angry figure headed towards her. The first thing that came to her mind was that Obsidian had found her. She flashed the person a cocky smirk before gliding into the crowd.

"Damn. Shoulda seen that comin." The blunette spoke through gritted teeth, aggravated from how the person had escaped. She quickly recovered from her fit and chased her, only to run into her from another direction.

"What? How did you-"

"Move it, you're in my way." The redhead hissed barging her way through. As emerald eyes watched her walk away, she caught glimpse of the same person elsewhere in the crowd.

"A multiplier, eh?" She came to the conclusion quickly, after all, what better excuse could she find? 'That's how you escaped, isn't it? Multiply yourself into who knows how many copies and have each of the run towards an exit. If one gets caught, it'll simply vanish. Gotta give you your props, that was pretty smart. But you're really annoying me right now.'

Stomping off after the Orphan, she bumped into Shizuru, wondering why she didn't see her there before. "Listen Fujino, it's time for you to put those freaky powers of yours to use."

'Freaky? Ara, how rude.' "Whatever do you mean, Kuga-han?"

Spinning her around so that she faced towards the dance floor, she pointed to one red head towards the exit, and two of the same person dancing on opposite sides of the club. "Use that glamour magic to get her to listen to us."

'Glamour magic?' Shizuru covered her mouth with one hand, trying her best to hide the laugh that was desperately trying to break free. 'She named my power? How childish…'

"O-Oi! What are you laughing at?! Hurry up and go after one of her!" With a not so gentle push, the blunette sent her flying into the crowd, and hopefully towards one of the several Naos.

After composing herself, she did what she was told and approached one of the Naos after a long walk of pushing and shoving. "Ara, excuse me?" She tapped the redhead on the shoulder, earning a growl in reply.

"What do you want?" Not answering her question, Shizuru removed her glasses and stared at the girl in the eyes, putting her in a deadly trance. "Where is the real you?"

Even in a trance, Nao was able to keep a lot of her personality. "Heh, sucker, I'm already outside." She smirked at the Orphan, eyes blank and unresponsive.

'Ara, you like making this hard, don't you?' "Mind taking me there?" The redhead nodded before walking off towards the exit.

Taking one look back at the crowd, Shizuru decided that Natsuki would catch up eventually. Once outside, she was attacked by several Naos, one holding her up against the alley wall. "God, I hate Obsidian scum like you." She, well, they, sneered at her.

"I'm afraid you've got it all wrong."

"Sorry, Kyoto-ben, but I never get things wrong." One spoke before kicking the brunette in the shin, causing a yelp of pain. "How you found me, I don't know, but I'll make sure you don't find me again." What looked like seven or eight copies of the original began to gang up on her, prepared to possibly beat her to death.

"Natsuki…" Shizuru mumbled, one eye shut in pain. "Where are you?"
