Noblesse- Normal POV- Frankenstein's Lai...House
As the Noblesse group waited for M-21 to return with Shinwoo and his companions for dinner they went over what had happened earlier. The fact that someone who had come with Shinwoo's grandma had apparently looked like M-21 and even been familiar to him was just in its own right strange.
"Hey am I the only one who…" Takeo starts looking around at the group surrounding him. "Thinks that this maybe be just an attempt by the Union to get at us?"
"Already thought it over." Frankenstein stated from his position next to Rai.
"And?" Regis questioned.
"I don't think it's likely for the fact that they would need to know more about the children and from what we know of the Union they don't know much beside Dr. Crombel who sees the children as bait nothing else. So he wouldn't go through such an elaborate plan involving people who we don't even know." Frankenstein stated as he pushed his glasses up. "So I believe that they are not involved or at least we should wait a little longer and observe the situation before deciding."
"Those are some good points." Tao stated as he entered the room caring a hand held computer. Everyone glanced at him because since the whole revelation with Japanese language and M-21 none of them had seen Tao except at work. The rest of the time he locked himself in his room and was doing research.
"So did you find out more on what you were looking up?" Regis asked attempting to hide his eagerness.
"Well I found out something that might clear away some of your worries about these visitors." Tao stated as he sat down and continued typing. "I found that M-21 and M-24 had many missions in Japan for some reason. Also that upon doing a little digging I was able to recover some deleted data, by guess who deleted it Dr. Crombel, M-21was apparently originally from Japan which may be why M-21 stated these people seemed familiar…"
At this point Tao paused in his little explanation as he continued to type on his computer. Everyone around the room looked at each other with raised eyebrows. Frankenstein then turned once more to Tao and then coughed into his hand to get his attention. Tao's head snapped up to look at him.
"You were saying?" Frankenstein prodded. Tao stared at him for a few more moments seeming lost in thought before his mouth went into the shape of an o and then he continued.
"It also mentions, now this is disjointed and I'm still recovering it, but it mentions someone called "Nano", a thing called "Line", and something involving allergies also someone by the name of "Kazui". But it looks like the report wasn't even completed when it was deleted like it was decided to be unimportant. It's probably why I was able to recover this unlike all the other stuff related to the M series that Dr. Crombel had deleted. "
"Hmm I see." Frankenstein stated while he and the others were turning what Tao had found out over in their heads. "But if he did indeed know this person who he says is familiar from Japan wouldn't they have reacted differently than how M-21 said they did because all they reacted to was the fact they looked similar not that they knew him." The others around the room nodded their heads in agreement.
"Well maybe M-21 passed him by on the street a lot or something all I stated was that I agreed with your belief that this is not a trick from the Union and that I had found evidence supporting it possibly. So I also agree that we should just observe and watch them before making some kind of decision. Anyway I will continue to attempt to recover more on M-21 and so on." Tao stated as he got up and shut his computer seemingly planning on returning to his room before Frankenstein coughed. He turned to look at him.
"That can be put on hold for tonight because I want everyone to be here for the meal that we will be having with Shinwoo, his grandma, and their companions." Frankenstein stated. "Also I want everyone on their best behavior." He continued as his eyes settled on Rael and Regis, who upon noticing his pointed looks at them opened their mouths to state that they didn't need to be told that only to close them as they saw the sickingly sweet smile on his face.
Rai who had stayed silent the whole time lifted his tea to his mouth and then down again. He turned to Frankenstein and stated, "When will it be time for the Ramen?"
Everyone in the room looked at Rai who once more was taking a drink of his tea and then sweat dropped…
Togainu no chi- Somewhere in Japan
He walked confidently through the darkly lit streets. He had finally gained the info he had been searching for.
Thinking back on it…It had been an annoying hunt for the flamboyant man's new lair but he had found it. Then proceeded to break in and trash the place to get the man and his dogs' attention instead his servants showed up. Making quick work of them he soon found the Master was not home. But he was able to get the info he was searching for.
The stupid blonde and his dogs had traveled to South Korea following the hated purple eyed man. Who had been doing his usual thing. Of course none of that was his concern they were just a means to an end. What he was looking for was what the purple man was doing in South Korea. The man's usual thing was to stalk a certain person and that person was what he wanted.
He had been looking for him for quite a while. His stupid little brother, the mongrel best friend, and everyone else his property associated with had no helpful info at all. But he had finally found the trail so now he would be paying what was rightfully his a visit.
Coming out of his flashback the black clad man named Shiki gave one of his trade mark smirks. He couldn't wait to see what was his. He continued down the alleyway on his way…
"I'm coming for you Akira…"
Togainu no chi- Rin
Rin had been following his brother ever since the a-hole had broken into his house looking for his friend. So Rin had found out about how his friend was in South Korea and that the flamboyant idiot was there too. Obviously from the way Shiki was smirking he was going.
Rin quietly left not making a sound. As soon as he had gotten a safe distance he rounded and bolted for home.
"Sh*t! Sh*t! GOOD DAMN IT!" Rin quietly whispered to himself as he entered his home. He began to pace attempting to think on what he could do.
It was obvious that Akira had no idea the idiot, his dog, his 2 dips*t employees, and the stalker were in South Korea. The worse part was that they would most likely go after him and his brother was going to go get Akira too.
"Seriously! Why the hell do you have to be a freakin chaos and crazy magnet, Akira!" Rin groaned to himself as he began to pace his small apartment. He began to rant out load to himself in an attempt to figure out what to do.
"Okay so he's in another country with the usual crazies coming after him. Nothing he can't handle right? Sh*t! Who am I kidding! He got kidnapped and basically tortured by one of them. My bro thinks he's his property and even kidnapped and held him prisoner for a long time! Heck He even marked him as his like a freakin animal! The stalker follows him everywhere and Akira ends up taking care of the guy! For some god damn reason he still hasn't told me! Of course he wouldn't be that bad if he would stop following Akira and leading weirdos to him! Oh! But NO! I can't forget that all of them are f-ing sadists! Seriously what the actual HELL! He can so totally beat everyone and their mother to sh*t but when he gets involved with these guys it's like he's a damsel in distress!" Rin slumped to the ground and put his head into his hands.
Then He bolted up right. He really didn't want to deal with this but because the idiot didn't have a cellphone, the paranoid retard, he couldn't contact him. So he would have to go to South Korea so that he could warn Akira. He began to pack with vigor when he froze.
There were many issues with his plans. 1) He did not speak or know anything of the language. Yeah he could get by barely with English, probably but still…2) he had no idea besides what city Akira was in. So he would have to look for him which would be hard by himself…3) He would need help dealing with the a-holes if he ran into them.
So Rin sat there for a few more minutes contemplating on what he should do. Obviously he would be needing someone or someones to come with him to aid him because most of the problems involved needing aid. So exactly who should he take? It had to be someone that wouldn't jump Akira or at least Rin could control them. He continued to think and then it hit him. Well literarily he was hit by one of the answers. As someone called his name and slammed into him, toppling him to the floor.
Rin let out a groan and then looked up at an oversized dog…scratch that it was Keisuke. The big male with spikes of brown, wearing blue jeans, a white t-shirt with brown long sleeves, and chocolate brown eyes; which were trained on him. Keisuke then began to ramble at him.
"RIN! RIN! Do you know where Akira is?...Also sorry about entering without permission but your door lock must be broken cause I was able to get in but anyway seriously do you know where Akira is. He is not home hasn't been for a few days even Motomi and the landlady are not around. And so I'm worried! Especially since your brother showed up at my house demanding to know where he was. So as soon as I got out of the hospital. Oh yeah sorry you didn't know your brother sent me there after declaring me useless and beating me up. So anyway I decided to check on you and see if you were okay and if you know where Akira is! Because I'm really worried and…"
Before Keisuke could continue his little rant explanation I decided I had had enough. So I knee him in the stomach like any other disobedient dog to get him off me. It was just great that it stopped the torrent of words from his mouth. I looked at him curled into the feeble position and sighed. Well that's one down.
"Keisuke listen closely to me and don't interrupt me. I know where Akira is the problem is so does my brother and a few other a-holes. Sadly I don't think he knows that. So we are going to go tell Akira he's in danger okay…'I looked at him and sighed. "Nod ur head if you understand."
He feebly nodded it. Okay now then who else could I take with me. It has to be someone who actually knows the language. Rin began to pace the room again trying to think through all the people he knew that could be useful. While he did that Keisuke had sat up and recover from the blow Rin had given him. He curiously watched Rin wondering what was going on in the small blondes head.
We need at least one more person to come with us." Rin mumbled out loud to himself forgetting about Keisuke.
"Why?" Keisuke questioned.
"Because I don't speak Korean and obviously you don't so we need someone who can to help." Rin exclaimed in exasperation at Keisuke like he was the biggest idiot. Rin continued to pace and think not noticing that Keisuke had an uncharacteristic thoughtful face on,
"Hey Rin! Why don't we ask Yukihito and Touya for help! I know that Yukihito speaks Korean and their both Akira's friends so they should be willing to help." Keisuke stated this when he finally spoke up causing Rin to pause and stare at him.
"Who and Who? I've never heard of them and I'm Akira's friend to!" Rin stated in a disgruntled voice. He had to think on it but yeah he had never heard those two mentioned by Akira before. Keisuke looked at him curiously.
"Well Akira doesn't talk much remember. Unless he deems it like really really important he won't mention it. So if you guys never showed up around him or hanged out at his place at the same time Akira probably never mentioned them. Yukihito is an older boy who lived at the Bunny Orphanage with Akira and me. But unlike Akira and me, Yukihito knows everything that went on there, he remembers. Touya on the other hand is Yukihito's best friend. Which apparently in Touya's mind upon finding out Akira's connection to Yukihito, made Akira one of his good friends. Cause apparently Yukihito doesn't have many friends so Touya has to take good care of the few Yukihito has." Keisuke rambled off his explanation to Rin without even paying attention to Rin's reactions.
Rin's mouth had dropped open but he quickly closed it. He then quickly grabbed his phone and thrust it at Keisuke. Keisuke gave him a questioning look which lead to Rin sighing.
"Call them explain who I am and that I need to talk to them." Rin clarified speaking slowly like Keisuke was an idiot. Keisuke looked at him and sighed. He then grabbed the phone.
Normal POV- Frankenstein's House
Everyone was still sitting around the living room waiting for Shinwoo and the others to arrive. When they heard the front door open. They all turned their heads to see M-21 come walking in with Shinwoo and three others. One was an elderly woman in a kimono and looked similar to Shinwoo. The one next to her was a gruff looking man with a beard and brown hair. He had an unlit cigarette hanging from his mouth.
Then finally the one taking up the rear was the one they all were interested in.
Akira
The man known as "Ajussi" had come to pick us up like he said he would and then drove us to a nice neighborhood. When we got out we were in front of a very big and nice white house. Shinwoo grabbed his grandma's arm and started to walk towards it.
Now as we entered there seemed to be the feelings of a calm before the storm. The people in the living room seemed to glance over Shinwoo and the others as they walked in but when I came into view I could feel the stares headed my way. They all seemed to be sizing me up…
This night seems like it was going to be an interesting one.
Japan- Normal POV
A cellphone clicked off allowing the one who had been watching his best friend in interest, since the call came in, to prompt a question.
"So…who was that Yukihito?"
The one named Yukihito was sitting on a couch. He had short red hair and doe brown eyes. He wore tight black Goth pants and a lose black turtle neck with a very similar tag necklace to Akira's. He glanced over at his best friend.
Touya had green eyes and longish spikey light brown hair that could almost be mistaken for blonde hair. He wore his baggy black carpenter pants with so many deep pockets you would never know what he had in them. He also wore a shirt that was dark green with the letters "FIB" graphited across it in black. To complete his outfit he wore a baggy brown jean jacket and a dog tag necklace like Akira's and Yukihito's.
Yukihito seemed to pause before sighing and explaining.
"Apparently it was Keisuke with this Rin guy who's also Akira's friend." Touya's face brightened at this statement but immediately dropped when he heard what came next. "And Akira is in some kind of trouble. Keisuke told Rin I knew Korean which is correct. They need someone who speaks it because Akira went on a trip to South Korea and the trouble followed him there. So they want me to come with them."
Touya stared blankly at Yukihito for a few minutes seemingly mulling over what he said. Then a determined look came over his face.
"So when are we leaving?" Touya questioned. Prompting a small smile from Yukihito.
"As soon as we are packed." He stated as he got up.
Tokyo- ?
A man looked at an alert that came up on his computer. Looking through it he grinned. So His brothers were going to South Korea…How Interesting. It might be about time that he showed up to them again. The man gave a cold laugh…
To be continued…
Naïve: Wow I can't believe this chapter is finally done. You wouldn't believe how hard it was to start this chapter. But I got myself going and finished it in a fell swoop. At least I got past this writers block easier than my other one…(...)
Reborn: On that note when will you get back to that story.
Naïve: Well…I really want to continue it I have so much planned for it but it took on a life of its own at one point and now I'm stuck at a filler arc of sorts that turned into a monster and I can't seem to figure out how to continue it. BUT rest assured I have not given up on any off my 3 main fanfictions and they will continue till there completed it just might take a while.
Naïve: Now onto news about this story. On the note of Yukihito and Touya they are Togainu no chi characters from the PSP version called true blood. Now this game has not been translated in any real shape or form so all I know about them is the wiki, what they look like, doujinshi, and other fanfiction. So I have decided to go off of the vibe and view point I get from the characters after researching them.
On Another note I actually went into more detail in this chapter about Togainu No Chi! Yeah so now you have some context if you didn't already know. It's also getting to the point where everything is coming together. So when u noticed towards the end were I stopped stating if it was Noblesse or Togainu No Chi well I see no point to do that anymore unless it's relevant in explaining a new character that came in or so on.
Contest: Also the marking on Touya's shirt is a thing I put on my own characters in drawings and such. I decided to put it on here to see if anyone can guess what it means. If you can guess right and where I came up with the idea from then I'll give you a chance to tell me a scene set up you would like to see me do in this story! So go and send me a PM or a review on it!
And finally give me ideas on who from what series do you want to show up. Really cause I need to know if I should have dead characters around or not cause it's hard to know who you want to see. Especially in Togainu No Chi's case cause it has different routes for the game and different results and so on…
Preview: We get to see the reactions of the Noblesse crew to our little translator. Also people start showing up and causing a ruckus. Also how is M-21 connected to the revelations in this chapter. Well don't stop reading now!
