Seeds Of Agito
Okay, folks…Class Q is here…continuing to sort out the murder of Takatobi after not appearing for nearly three chapters due to Class M getting embroiled over a group of Lords who successfully killed one of the Akatsuki passengers that the three ex-Magic Knights tried to contact…resulting on one being down with smoke inhalation.
The Rhino Lord growls as the two ex-Magic Knights are getting ready to make a move on the monster, as their combined efforts seemingly caused the Lord to be cautious seeing that he might not repulse them with its strength alone. However, both Gills and G3-X are distracted when Mr. Asahi screamed for help and both saw what is happening, surprising them.
"HELP! SOMEBODY HELP!"
It shows that another Lord appeared, and it was the Plant Lord, using its vines to bind the unconscious Hinata and, in secret, took her Agito seed and inserted another seed and threw her aside. With both G3-X and Gills distracted, the Firefly Lord unleashes a body-sized fireball and struck the ground near the two ex-Magic Knights, causing the two to back away to avoid getting hit, which also reduces visibility temporarily, which upon the coast is clear, both the Firefly Lord and the Rhino Lord have fled from the scene, as well as the Plant Lord, leaving a bleeding Hinata behind.
Gills went to her and carried her towards the ambulance as medics began to apply first aid to help her. As Gills glances at Hinata, G3-X approaches her and spoke to her, surprising Gills mentally as she recognized the voice…which is that of Fuu.
"Wait…who are you? Are allied with us? If so…why did you attack Agito before?"
"That voice…Fuu? What have I done? I didn't know she's underneath that suit? But then…why did she attack me from before? Especially at the Tokyo Tower a few months ago?"
But then the medics are getting desperate as Hinata's body convulsed and Gills glanced at the teenage girl but both her and G3-X are surprised to see her body spurting leaves, branches and twigs, as well as she is slowly turning into a tree, which slowly increases her body mass until she completely turned into one, and then the transformation stopped mid-way, and she is killed.
By then the Jellyfish Lord emerged from the burning house and went for Hinata's "tree form" and uses its electricity to burn her body which then reduced to burnt ashes, angering Gills and began to beat up the Lord until dispatching him with the Heel Stab Kick, resulting in the Lord's destruction.
After that, Gills quietly left the scene despite G3-X's calls for her to answer her question, but Gills is visibly distraught at her failure to save another important life. The SWAT members asked G3-X on whether to pursue Gills or not, which she stated that they let Gills go for now. She watches Gills board her motorcycle and left, not noticing that another watchful eye is eyeing on Gills, and the scene shifts back at the scene where more ambulances and fire trucks arrive to assess the damage and to put out the fire.

110: Damunēshon part 6
As fire fighters are controlling the blaze, G3-X checks on Hikaru after seeing her on the stretcher with an oxygen mask attached, and though she is breathing normally, she is still unconscious and saw some bruises on her torso, though she suffered no major injuries and no burns are seen on her, but then saw some cops consoling Mr. Asahi after the death of Hinata, and there she wondered how the Lords are able to find her and what motives do they have in killing her.
"Darn…there goes our chance of getting a lead on what really transpired at the Akatsuki Ferry four years ago…how did the Unknown know where she is staying…what do these things want and why are they killing every victim? This doesn't make any sense…what do these Unknown want certain people dead? What are their reasons for committing these acts of murder?"
As G3-x looks around to see if there are any other Lords around, she noticed a TV news crew preparing to make a live report on the incident and she stood there, awaiting to see and hear what report do they have to broadcast, and wondered when the TV crew are here since she appeared not to notice them while she and Gills are fighting off the Lords before they made their escape.
"That was fast…have they arrived here earlier…? Or are they been waiting for this to happen?"
-x-
The scene shifts to the rest house Hitobashiba Valley, where Class Q is staying, Megumi berated Kinta and Kyuu for peeking at her which the two boys backed away, but Kyuu gently held her while soothing her down, which appeared to work. Though she still berated him, he led her to a nearby room and talked to her gently, though the others could hear her sobbing while Kyuu apologizes non-stop.
"Meg…stop crying…"
"You hentai…! You were peeking at me…you we're even whacking off with my back turn! You enjoyed it…do you? Are my panties not good enough for you?"
"I'm really sorry…you're so pretty…I can't help but notice you…I'm sorry…I won't do it again…I promise…I won't peek at you while taking a bath again…"
"Really..? You promise…?"
"I promise…"
After some few minutes the two came out and things went well until Kazuma decided to watch a TV program to help lighten up the mood but the program greeted Class Q with a live report on the suburban area of Tokyo where the Lords caused mayhem and the TV reporter began to inform viewers of what happened as well showing to them the footages of Gills and G3-X fighting off the Lords and Gills carrying Hinata Asahi.
The reporter then claims that Gills played a part in Hinata's death but G3-X grabbed the reporter by his collar and berated him for the blatant lie, defending Gills by saying that Gills saved Hinata and that the Plant Lord killed her. Viewers are glued to the TV at seeing G3-X berating the reporter, which the reporter began claiming that he is being harassed by the MPD's weapon.
"As you can see…the horned Unknown carried Hinata Asahi…then he killed her to save face to cover up his act of murder…that's right, everyone…the horned Unknown committed murder in front of us and…"
"You lying piece of crap! You call yourself a reporter and yet you lied about what you saw? It was that Unknown that resembled a plant that killed that girl! That thing turned her into a tree and that horned thing…he carried the girl out of the burning house and the other girl! What you're reporting just now is a blatant lie!"
"Ah! You see…? I'm being assaulted by a member of the Metropolitan Police Department! He is defending the Unknown who murdered Hinata Asahi…!"
"The horned thing is not an Unknown…I believe he is an Agito…just like Agito who saved people several times…"
"Another revelation! The weapon user of the Metropolitan Police Department is harboring an Unknown…it is a cover up by the MPD to hide their ineffectiveness in dealing with the current threat…"
"You lying…!"
Viewers are watching the TV seeing G3-x shaking the reporter by his collar, some wondered what is happening while others agreed with G3-X, as the scenes they saw are not what matched the claims the Reporter stated. However, the townsfolk who witnessed the scene earlier came and rebuked the reporter's claim, and they all came to Gills' side, telling him that they saw Gills saved Hinata and Hikaru but the Plant Lord delivered the fatal blow and soon cops pried the two warring sides apart. The SWAT officer came and urged G3-X to calm down while the other cops reprimanded the reporter for his actions and he would face sanction for misinformation giving.
"Calm down…everyone who saw what happened knows that the reporter's claims are baseless…and we will press charges against him…right now you should restrain yourself or else you'd get into trouble with your superiors…"
-x-
Class Q was shocked at what they saw and now wondered what danger awaits them once they solved the murder case in Hitobashiba Valley. They decided to focus their work on how to prove to Detective Mine that suicide is not the case here. While the rest of Class Q are debating on how to produce evidence, Kyuu glances at the TV and wondered what is going on here. He last recalled that Gills and Agito are fighting each other, but recently they're seen fighting together, such as the time at Yuge's villa.
"That horned Unknown…what is he…? First he attacked Agito…then fought alongside him…"
-x-
As the time now is 22:44, Class Q decided to retire for the night and they are passing by Goura's room, where a stealthy murder is taking place and the killer in silhouette managed to mortally wounded Goura, the killer hid behind the door and turned of the light so Class Q won't sense anything suspicious. Kyuu then glances at the door and the killer braces himself believing the murder is about to be exposed.
"Hey Kyuu…what are you glancing at…?"
"Ah…nothing…"
"I bet you're still daydreaming about Megu being naked…"
"Say that again, Kinta…I'll deck you with a vase!"
"Just kidding, Megu…we'd better get to our rooms and go to sleep…"
As Class Q went to their room, the killer smirked as the murder is about to be finished when Goura scattered the papers and there the killer realized that Goura is still moving so the killer finishes off the victim without making a noise and he is finished. The killer then leaves the room undetected as the night went on as silence echoed the entire rest house.
-x-
An hour after midnight, the Shidou brothers and Umi are escorting a partially-recovered Hikaru out of the hospital and are heading home after being cleared by the doctors after her lungs are cleared of smoke inhalation yet the three elder brothers are worried about a group of Unknown rampaging the city and by the time they came home they all get some rest.
"Umi…what happened to the girl we're supposed to find…?"
"I managed to save her…but an Unknown killed her right before me and that armored cop…"
"No…we…failed…"
Hikaru was saddened at hearing what happened and now they must exert more efforts in finding the other Akatsuki Ferry survivors before more are about to be killed. Seeing that it's already late, the two girls retire for the night and hope that Hikaru is sufficiently recovered so that they can continue searching for the remaining Akitsuki Ferry survivors.
-x-
By morning, Class Q was up and are ready to get some breakfast when they all heard a scream coming from outside. As they arrive, they are greeted by a gruesome scene where Goura's body is found, near the hot springs pool, bloodied and holding a knife. As Class Q checks on the corpse, the police was summoned by Natsumi to report what happened.
"What? No way! How did this happened?"
"He was alive yesterday…"
"He must've been killed when we were going to bed…"
Several minutes later Detective Mine arrived and after a thorough check he declared this case another suicide but Class Q rebutted this claim but Mine stood his ground and insisted that Class Q stay out of this. Hongou then told Class Q that he is leaving the case to them and Class Q became determined to solve this case no matter what.
"What the…? Hongou's leaving us in the rut?"
"Maybe he has no faith in us…"
"Regardless…we're Class Q…we're from DDS…and we must prove Detective Mine that his approach and theory are wrong…let's show them why we're detectives!"
"Yeah!"
-x-
An hour later, Umi left the Shidou house and is now in Eastern Tokyo to search for more persons who are connected to the Akatsuki Ferry incident as she read the list where some are resided in this area. She began to roam around the suburban area and asked passerby's if they happened to know anyone residing here after showing them the list of names, which one of them pointed that they live near here.
"Hmm…oh, those are the name of two girls…they're identical twins…you'll find them near here…"
"Really…?"
"Yes…go three streets from here…then turn left…there's a convenience store nearby…that's where they usually go…you'll be able to find them here…"
"Thank you very much…"
"You're welcome…"
Filled with hope, Umi went to a residential area where a nearby convenience store is shown, then she saw two girls coming out, both appeared to be identical twins, and are in their school uniforms with their ID's attached, and there the Class M member was able to figure out who they are after seeing their names. Now she has the chance to talk to them and know what really happened at the Akatsuki Ferry where the incident happened four years ago.
"Good…now I'll be able to figure out what really happened…"
Umi then approached the two girls and showed to them her DDS badge and asked them if they are among the passengers of the Akatsuki Ferry who boarded there four years ago. The two girls nodded and there Umi asked the two girls what really happened there, as she hoped to get an answer from them since Hikaru was thrown off and Kyuu taken to safety.
But then she saw the Plant Lord showed up and began assaulting twin sisters Chiho and Chise Mihara and there Umi stood in his way, and changes into Gills and jumps in, stalled the Lord as she told the twin sisters to run, which the two managed to escape.
"Hurry! Run!"
"Th-thanks…!"
As the Plant Lord began to regain the upper hand, Gills retaliated and began hitting critical areas and started to weaken the Lord, and he is now set up to be destroyed.
"I'd better kill this thing before he gets another chance to kill those girls…!"
However, in the midst of the battle someone came and interrupted the battle, as Gills is about to execute the Heel Stab Kick, a strong force knocked her from behind and she fell down on the ground…HARD. This interference allowed the Plant Lord to escape and as Gills got up and turn around, she saw who did this and was greeted with disbelief as it was a 20-year old guy, and he is glaring wickedly at her.
"What the…? A guy…?"
The man stood there looking angry at her and is ready to make another move on her. He is identified as Naoto Kirihira, and he appeared to possess a superhuman ability that is similar to other Agito seed carriers such as Teruo Toyota.
"You…you will pay…!"
"What…?"
"You will pay for your crimes!"

Class Q narrowly misses the chance to save a life and catch the killer but due to their being unaware of the killer's stealth thinking and action, the next victim is found dead the next day and another blow to Class Q as Detective Mine insists it is suicide. With Hongou leaving everything to Class Q, they must work double time to sort this out.
Fuu got into a scuffle with a shrewd reporter as he makes it appear that Gills killed Hinata Asahi, but thanks to witnesses…his claims have been rebuffed and yet Fuu has to keep her cool in check. Umi still has to figure out whether to reveal herself to Fuu or not, as she realized that she unknowingly attacked her friend.
Speaking of Umi…she's in big trouble now that someone with superhuman powers is challenging her and what would she do since the guy attacking her is human and not a Lord.
Another pair of CLAMP characters showing up, and they're surprisingly from the manga/anime, Kobato. They are the Mihara sisters, Chiho and Chise, and here in this fic they are portrayed as among the Akatsuki Ferry survivors. Though they managed to escape death, the other Lords will surely go after them.
A third surprise for you…Naoto Kirihira, who appeared by the end of this chapter, is one of the main protagonists of the 2006 anime Night Head Genesis. Though not a part of the CLAMP franchise, but because CLAMP is indirectly involved in that anime, I decided to include this here as part of my original plot as well as to showcase that aside from Pluto and the Lords, I decided to have a three-way villain-fest as to give DDS some challenges its student faces.
Preview:
Class Q are working around the clock to prove that the two victims are murdered and not committed suicide, while Umi gets clocked by Naoto Kirihara as she couldn't bring herself to fight a fellow human, which Naoto takes advantage of, and this puts her in serious trouble.
