Nui Harime gazed at the giant scissors with fascination. "Wow, these Scissors Blade really do cut the life out of Life Fibers."
Sometimes, worlds change in a big way because of a little change. Had Harime stayed, she would have seen Ryuko come home. Had Ryuko come home early, she could have seen Nui Harime. Unfortunately, the change in these encounters was that Nui had time to prepare her next assault.
The last thing Ryuko saw was her bleeding father and two sharp blades closing around her neck.
Aikuro looked down at two unmarked graves. They bore no names as it was a risk to let REVOCs come back. To Aikuro, it did not matter since he knew their names.
"Well, I found your Kamui, Isshin. I figured it would be best to hide it with your other experiments since Nui didn't bother to search for it. I think you'll also be glad to know that you made Nui mad enough to leave half of your Scissors Blade in you. I've already hidden it too."
"Ryuko, I...I don't know if you can hear me or if your father is telling you this now, but he did what he had to do to protect your. Your mother is Ragyo Kiryuin of REVOCs, and she threw you away when you 'died' during an experiement. Yes, she laced Life Fibers into your body, though I do not think she realized who you were with the way you were killed. I guess you wouldn't be happy if you were told that, but I know that even though Isshin was busy, he did what he could to give you a happy life, even if he screwed up halfway."
Aikuro sighed as he swept his hair back. "Right now, Satsuki is preparing to attack the last three schools. She wants to perfect the Goku Uniforms, which is why she hasn't started yet, but if she succeeds, nothing will stop her. And after Kinue died, I'm not sure anyone is willing to put on a Kamui, even if the world is at stake."
He stood in silence. No, he could hear footsteps. Aikuro shuffled his hair around and put his sunglasses back on, deciding to investigate the noise. Ah, the Paranormal Investigation Club, though Aikuro assumed it was a cover since no one would take that kind of club serious. He had seen their club once or twice, and sometimes, the club would send a No-Star into a 'haunted' location to look for ghosts. Of course, the true members of the Paranormal Investigation Club ran this as a test, but in truth, they would scare the new recruit senselessly. Now, what was the name of the girl they were 'testing' now?
Oh, that's right. Her name is Mako Mankanshoku. Her parents ran a Back Alley Clinic, one of the few places that Nudist Beach members could safely heal themselves. The fact that the doctor there had more dead patients than alive was just a half-truth; only half were falsely recorded to give Honnouji Academy dead ends. But back to Mako, that girl wasn't scared like the previous recruits but was searching for the 'ghosts' with a lot of gusto, almost as if they existed.
"Mako Mankanshoku..." Aikuro wondered why he was thinking about her, and then he remembered. One of their student spies had feigned injury and dropped off a One-Star uniform at the clinic. Nearly the same time, Mako was dragged in by her younger brother and dog, sporting a lot of bruises and cuts. Her father immediately went to work patching her up, but he couldn't sew her cuts back up since he did not have thread. Instead, he turned to the nearest source of thread, tearing the Goku uniform to shreds. When he came by to pick up the uniform to "return" it, Aikuro noticed that the uniform was torn to pieces, with not a single salvageable Life Fiber in-
Aikuro blinked, narrowly missing Mako falling through a trap door. He then smiled. "Ah, I guess Ryuko was not the only one to survive Life Fiber implantation. But I wonder, can she fight?"
((So backstory: Mako was injured at one point, and thanks to a convenient plot device, she has Life Fibers sewn into her body like Ryuko. And then she's going to wear Senketsu...))
