Yeah I'm awful I made you wait but for those who forgive me and still wants to find out what's going to happen thank you.
Recap: Kazahaya has been kidnapped by the Tsubasa group to be used as a drug. To save the groups life Tsukiko had him erased everyone's memory except hers to save their lives. And now they all have their memories back and are ready to save him.

"So explain to me again what a Legal drug is," Kei asked dressed in a black silk modern kimono that went down to her knees and black high heel shoes to go with it. Everyone was in the black car Saiga owned and on their way to a place that will held them. Tsukiko in a dark green strapless thigh high dress turned to her physic friend.
"A legal drug is a drug that you can't go to jail for, no one can catch you for using it."
"How does that involve Kazahaya?" Rikuo hissed in his black muscle shirt. Tsukiko sighed.
"Well if you weren't so focus on breaking everything in the room you would have heard already." She said sweeping her bangs from her face. "Because Kazahaya had past his 18th birthday not only can he read memories but he can erase them both temporarily and permanently. He does what most people take drugs for…to forget their horrible past for a moment."
"And so dressing up nicely will help how?" Saiga asked.
"When I was on the run I received help from people in high places, the people that Green-san worked for. They are the keepers of knowledge and power…at least for the side that wants to keep humanity free so you tend to dress up nicely."
"Oh," Saiga said blushing in embarrassment.
"Pull in here," The dream walked demanded pointing to an old building with a neon sign on the top.
"Club But fly?" Rikuo asked cocking an eyebrow as Saiga laughed holding his sides. Tsukiko sighed rubbing her fingers across the bridge of her nose.
"Its club Butterfly, just because the neon sign is broken doesn't mean you don't pronounce the words." After parking the car the group walked up to the door and Tsukiko knocked. It was everything Rikuo thought a secret hide out would be with a man on the other side who slid open a small slot on the other side.
"Password," He said in a gruff voice.
"Let what is past flow away downstream," The slot slid close and locks were heard on the other side. As soon as the door opened with a creak loud thumping music consumed them. "Come on," and the group followed her in.
"What is this place?" Kei asked keeping herself near Tsukiko. Kids and adults of all ages danced and drank together. By the bar a man laughed and blew into his drink creating a froth of ice on top of his glass. A girl dancing with two men clapped creating two of her self's allowing her to dance with both.
"It's a safe haven for those who have powers like ourselves…come on follow me." Tsukiko walked to the back where two men stood. Whispering to one of them the man nodded and he walked into the room. A few minutes later he came back he placed something in Tsukiko's hands and allowed her to enter. "Here you go," She said handing everyone a mask and placed a red butterfly mask upon her own face. The rest followed suit, Kei taking a blue fox, Kakei with a Green cat, Saiga with a black dog, and Rikuo with a yellow wolf.
"Umm…" Saiga asked putting his own mask on.
"All who enters for advice is to be anonymous that way it's all fair." Tsukiko answered and they answered the room. Kei looked up in shock. No way could this room fit in the small little club.
"How..."
"I think someone in this room can warp space." Tsukiko smiled. In front of them three people sat at a golden desk. One was a woman with long black hair that was braided down to her waist and a pink bird mask on her face, a man with golden hair in a white fox mask sat on the other side and another woman with pinned up grey hair and a purple snake mask in the middle of the other two.
"What may we do for you butterfly?" The snake asked,
"Madam I have come here with my friends asking for your help…The Tsubasa has both books and a memory reader over his 18th year."
"That has nothing to do with us." She replied in a snobby tone. Rikuo stepped forward but was stopped by his cousin.
"No one's allowed use their powers except for the guardians, don't do anything stupid." Tsukiko whispered to her agitated relative. Tsukiko turned back to the three people. "I'm sorry to disappoint you but it has everything to do with you. If he is to read from the books that you have been trying to protect for centuries the balance of light and darkness will become chaotic. You all know that more than anybody else." The three masked leaders turned to each other and began whispering. Kei began to fidget wanting to get out of the quiet room as fast as possible. The white fox man turned to them once again.
"We have decided…We are the guardians of the book titled 'The Kindred Spirits' while the other book belongs to darkness. We will do our duty to reacquire that one book and terminate the threat of the reader."
"NO!" Kei shouted her hair began to rise gently with her dress. Kakei held her back to try to keep her powers calm. "You can't do that my brother has done nothing wrong he's just being used." The bird woman spoke next holding her hand up slightly.
"As long as he can read the books and can threaten our way of life he must be eliminated." Kei felt a sudden calmness as the soft spoken girl talked and began to cry.
"Stop using your powers," She sniffled. "I don't care how calm you make me feel I will never forget him again…Please he's all I have left," The guardians looked at each other.
"If you feel this strongly…" The snake woman spoke with a booming voice. "If this memory reader is brought to us and we deem him not a threat we may think about letting him live." Kei sniffed once again stopping her tears.
"I want to be the one to bring him back," Rikuo spoke out his hands balled into fists.
"What powers do you possess that will allow you to do this?" The blond man asked.
"I break things," He answered back nonchalantly. The man looked at the others.
"I have precognitions,"
"Telekinesis,"
"I can find anyone after touching an object of theirs,"
"And of course you know I am a dream walker,"
"Yes well how about a bargain then. As you should know everything must have equivalent exchange," (1) the snake hissed. If we allow this child to live then we will ask for services in return. We will ask two of you to work for us. Does that sound fair?" Rikuo was sure the old hag was smiling. The group looked at each other and nodded. "Fine then," The woman pressed a button and a slender yet well-built man came in with a grey bull mask came in.
"You are moving out," The snake said. The fox guardian picked up a manila folder and it lifted into the air and floated to the bull. "All the information is in that; we seem to have another problem with the Tsubasa although it is a lot more serious than usual. These people will accompany you and fill you in." Tsukiko bowed and walked back. The rest followed in suit and left. Once they got out they took off there masks. Rikuo threw it against the wall and it shattered into pieces.
"Please calm down." The man in the bull masked said slicking his black hair back after taking the disguise off. "We will rescue Kudo-san." Rikuo cocked his eyebrow in confusion. "Oh sorry, mind reader," The man smiled pointing to his head.
"Ano I'm Kei…are you going to help us rescue my brother,"
"I'm Rei and hai I will do everything to help you." He took Kei's hand and kissed it slightly causing her to blush. "Well since Kudo-san is too strong for Saiga to find we'll just have to check out some of the Tsubasa's hot spot. I'll just grab some of my men"
"I have an idea," Saiga said. "I might not be able to get Kazahaya but since you said that you met Tsubasa before you must have something of theirs. I'll just track that," Rei scratched his chin.
"Well I might have one of Morioka's guns. I'll just check," Rei walked away and came back a few minutes later. He held a gun out and Saiga took hold of it. He took a deep breath and slowly let it out.
"I'm in the middle of Tokyo…in front of a club called Memory…the man in front of me must be Morioka but I can't see…no wait I see him, Kazahaya!" Saiga looked back at Rei and handed him back the gun. Rei nodded.
"Then I'm going to Memory,"
"You mean WE'RE going to Memory," Rikuo said grabbing Rei's arm. Rei gave him a stern look for a second but it soon disappeared.
"I know you love him very much but…"
"But nothing, I've been in worst situations so I'm going. And by the way…Stay out of my head." Rikuo let go and walked out followed by Kakei, Saiga, and Tsukiko. Kei looked at Rei and bowed.
"I'm sorry for that we just all really want him back," Rei smiled sweetly at the girl.
"I understand…let's go get your brother."
(1)That line is from xxxHolic. But like I always say if you didn't read or watch you will still get the story. It just means that they must do something or give something back that is equally as important as to what they requested.
Sorry it took so long to update. I've been working on other ff projects and working. Thanks for staying with me
