Satsuki Kiryuin was a well known business woman. Owning one of the most successful corporations in all the world, known as REVOCS, her status in the economic world was quite high. Not only turning the company into something with a better reputation after her mothers former rule, she ended up making it much bigger than it was before. Her mother was a foolish woman, having looked over the companies successes for her own plans.
Her 'empire' as stated by many people that lived in the area around it, was nothing but. A tall tower over stood the thick building beneath it, much like how Honnouji Academy had been like thirty three years ago. Located in the northern parts of Kanto, it was a wonder on how such a tall building could withstand the high winds the region carried. Some said it was from her willpower alone that caused the building to stay standing.
It wasn't true. She simply had the money to afford an excellent building structure.
It was becoming late in the day, Satsuki in her office as she looked over papers from different parts of the world. It was a very stressful part of the month. Even being so rich, she still held the heart of REVOCS. This meant stacks of paperwork.
The fifty year old was tired of business. The ever stoic woman just wanted to relax a little. Spend some time with her family, but this needed to get done.
Her eyes shifted from the paper when her cell phone started to ring. Blinking, she set the pen down and reached over to the device, answering the call.
"Hello, this is Satsuki Kiryuin speaki-"
"Sis,"
Her eyes became wide when she heard that tired, rough voice of her younger sister. The sister she hadn't heard from in a year. Leaning back into her chair, she didn't know how to respond at first.
"R-Ryuko..."
"Look, I know its been a while, but-"
"No no! It's absolutely fine. How are you doi-"
"Kenta is missing!" Ryuko blurted out, knowing if she didn't talk now, she wouldn't get another chance.
"W-What?" Satsuki paused, thinking over all the possibilities to her nephew's disappearance. She suddenly heard a faint sob on the other end and blinked. Being a mother herself, she understood the sudden panic her younger sister was experiencing, especially to a child that was still very young.
"Okay, calm down, Ryuko. I will put out orders and a missing persons report-"
"That won't work," Ryuko cut her off and Satsuki was confused.
"What do you mean 'it won't work'?"
"Kenta wasn't taken by a person..."
After some explanation from Ryuko, Satsuki tried to figure out the different ways she could search for a shape shifting wolf. It could literally be anything, so searching for the shape shifter would prove difficult. Letting out a tired sigh, she rubbed her temple.
"What will we do?" Ryuko asked, her voice shaky.
"I don't know. But the creature couldn't have gone far. I'll send out patrols to search the nearby areas for any strange occurrences. Until then, I'm coming over to interrogate Ren. She might have some better details," Satsuki had made her final decision, rising from her chair.
"N-No! She's resting right now-"
"Ryuko," Satsuki interrupted with a stern tone, and Ryuko went silent.
"A-Alright, I'll see you soon," Ryuko's voice was quiet before the call disconnected. Letting out a sigh, Satsuki ran her hand through her shoulder-length hair, feeling that familiar ache run through her bones.
She wasn't as strong as she used to be, she knew that much. A feeling in the pit of her stomach told her that this was something much deeper.
Taking a deep breath, she walked over to a cabinet located on the left side of the office. Pressing the combination code into its lock, the double doors unlocked, allowing her access to the items inside. Opening the doors, laid neatly on hooks, was a grey military outfit. Next to the outfit, a sword stood, protected by its holder. Stripping herself of her work clothes, she dressed into the outfit, feeling a rush in her blood. She had not worn this in many years, had it not been needed for so long. She was surprised it had not worn down. She reached for the blade next, grabbing it by its handle and swinging it out. Sheathing it from its holder, the sword's surface shining from the lamp on the desk.
"You might not be Bakuzan, but I have always waited for the day to use you," Satsuki spoke, smiling as she entered the sword back into its cover, aiding it onto the strap on her left hip.
Satsuki exited the office, the clanking of her heels echoing off the silent walls of the building...
The thick strokes of powerful wings beating the air were loud. Like the clashing of thunder and lightning, the large bird had no intent on dropping him yet. His arms hurt, the talons wrapped around his upper arms had a tight grip. He could just feel the talon's tips sticking into his skin, but it was a simple annoyance.
He struggled for a good hour before giving up. He was not strong enough to fight the eagle by a long run. Now, he was looking down, watching the different landscapes pass underneath him.
Eventually, the two exited from the land to the sea, the large and vast ocean was just beneath his feet. To be honest with himself, he was deeply afraid of being dropped here. He could not swim well, and the deep ocean was not a place to start practicing.
They ended up passing over something that made the water shallower. Something very large, but seemed like it had sunken. A broken bridge lay just above it, leading to the mainland. The bridge had multiple gaps in it, making it impossible to cross by foot or car. The flight continued past it, but Kenta looked over his shoulder, seemingly curious what was under the water.
Entering among the land again, the eagle started to grow closer to the ground as they neared a wreckage of a old home. No, a mansion in fact. Broken walls and a sunken roof, the rubble seemed like it had been burned, clear ash and soot covering the ground around the large building.
Passing over the outer walls, the eagle neared the ground, its stroke of the wings causing dust, ash, and soot to get mixed up into the air. Kenta coughed, wanting to block out the different particles but couldn't. Suddenly, the grip on his arms went loose and he fell to the ground below, landing on his stomach.
He coughed more, not expecting the sudden action. He groaned, shakily moving to his back as he lay on the ground. Suddenly, the eagles head appeared in his blurry vision and Kenta gasped, his eyes widening.
"Do not fret, little one. Just sleep," The eagle suddenly spoke with a soft voice, turning its head to the side, letting one eye stare down at him. Before he even got a chance to mention its voice, he felt himself lose consciousness right then and there. His body went limp, falling into a deep slumber.
Leaving the boy, the eagle turned, its body transforming back into its wolf form. Sniffing the air for that familiar scent, the wolf began rummaging through the piles of burnt wood and other burnt items. Unbeknownst to the wolf, it wasn't aware that it was setting off triggers placed through the remains, to ensure that no trespassers would go onto the land...
Somewhere in the air, Satsuki stood in a chair in the back of a helicopter, escorting her to her sister's home to interrogate her niece. Suddenly, she heard her phone go off again. Taking the device out of her pocket, she went to see who was calling, but blinked when she saw that it wasn't that.
The triggers at the mansion were being set off, which meant someone, or something was in search of its remains.
Putting the triggers off, she smiled to herself, closing her eyes as she settled back into the chair.
"I think I know where Kenta is..."
