..Silence.

If anyone could see me now ( the chances being very low as I'm on a roof during a downpour) , they would see a girl glaring at a seemingly empty space above her while continually getting more and more annoyed at that empty space's lack of...appearance .

"I've told you before that you can't hide your body heat , I know your there ...or...here..."

All I heard was a chuckle carried to me by the wind . It sounded just like when I thought I heard his voice earlier. At that instant the heat and energy above me vanished . I was confused out of my skull , how could he do that? . Then I remembered a trick Taichi, Steph and I use to trick our enemies . If we create a area of heat ,which can also be made by causing high friction between layers of wind , using only enough to pass as body heat exactly at a location near the enemy , the person , if he is a en-jutsu or a stupid fu-jutsu artist , he will think someone's there , but only a fu-jutsu artist can specify the false someone by carrying the person's spiritual energy and combining it with the body heat . That's why me and Steph can only use that trick with Taichi's help.I thought of this while jumping down from the roof going in the direction of the voice.

'Dang ! And I fell for it big time , not only that , but since I can hear his voice , he's probably hiding his energy while watching from a distance and letting the wind carry his voice to me...what's he trying to do? Why's he still here? Did he stay... for me?...WAIT A SEC. HE'S TOYING WITH ME , ISN'T HE? THAT LITTLE...'

Realising that searching for him would mean playing straight into annoying hands , I decided to go back into the mansion, which was in the Opposite direction . I was completely dry , unlike every other thing right under the dark clouds , my irritation successfully turning every drop of water that touched me into vapour . But just as I was about to enter the house , I heard his voice again .

" Running away , so scared of a challenge ."

I could almost Hear him smirking .A vein popped on my forehead as my face twisted in rage

"Scared ?SCARED?YOU BLOODY BASTARD ,YOU THINK I CAN'T FIND YOU IF I WANTED TO , I JUST DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR COCKY FACE , THAT'S ALL."

I yelled at the sky pointing in the direction of his voice knowing he could hear me.

...'No reply huh! Take that' With that , I turned back to the door , opened it and just as I was about to enter .

"...chicken."

*BANG*

The door slammed shut with enough to create a crack in the wall .

I headed in the straight opposite direction of the mansion , simultaneously increasing my range , pinpointing the bloody bastard's location and willing myself not to go fast enough to be suspicious .

'New plan:- Hunt him down and torch him, torch him till he looks like non-edible barbecued chicken . Poetic justice.'

'Nee-san , have you talked to nii-san yet ... Can't believe he's leaving again but he'll be back soon so I guess it's alright'

'He said he would wait for you for another hour but...'

'the hour's up ?...'

'yeah...'

'It's not him .'I didn't slow down my pace but I did mentally slap myself for thinking that 'He' waited for 'Me' . 'Probably someone trying to catch me off guard ,well!what the heck! .I've built up too much rage to not use it .'

With that in mind , I set off towards the person .

It was quiet . Nothing but the pitter-patter of the rain and the splashes made by my feet hitting the puddles of water as I ran towards the imposter .How did I know it was an imposter ? Simple , There is no way that Kazuma would put off a job , meeting ..whatever , for me , so obviously it had to be someone else . There is no shortage of people who want me dead , now more than usual , Besides others have tried the same trick before . Pretending to be someone I care about to catch me off guard , jackasses , all of them . 'A jackass pretending to be a jackass , nice fit , I guess'

Meanwhile at an underground cavern , a middle-aged man ,with long silver hair and violet eyes , dressed in a scarlet robe , toys with his computer trying to figure out his next move of a chess match going on on the screen , he makes his play with his queen and the screen shows a large 'CHECKMATE' across it . At that moment , a door behind him opens and a young boy , possibly a teenager ,with silver spiky hair ,dressed in formal wear ,bows .

"Permission to enter , Sir?"

"Come in "

The young boy bows again before entering . He comes into the room and stops behind the chair on which the older man was seated .He began to speak with his head bowed low .

"I have collected the data you have requested ."

"And the progress of the gene transition ."

"The subject's vital signs are steady but it seems he still has vague recollections of his past ."

"Will that be a problem ?"

"He seems to recall a girl with red hair , apart from that he's quite clueless about his identity."

"You didn't answer my question ..."

The older man stood up from his seat and walked towards the the boy . The boy flinched but didn't raise his head . The man stood right in front of the boy and said in a low voice .

"..I asked 'Will that be a problem ?'"

"n,n...No , Fa...Sir ! If you give me permission , I can arrange for this to work for your advantage ."

"Your?...don't you mean our ?"

The boy's eyes widened ,cold sweat formed on his face and his face shot up to meet with one which seemed so alike to his own but his eyes looked as cold as ice .

"o..o..Of course ! I ..."

The next second the man grabbed the boy's hair and flung him to the ground. The boy landed with a grunt and became frozen with fear as the man walked towards him . The man bent down and took the files that had fallen his side and began to walk outside the door as if the boy didn't even exist . He flipped through the files and just as the door closed shut behind him , without turning around ,he said.

"Go train."

*BAM*

The door closed shut engulfing the room in darkness , the computer screen being the only source of light . The boy got up from the floor and began to leave as well saying .

"As you say ...father."
