SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 24 out, this is Chapter 25 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review other than just simply putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?
Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot and pairing.
Chapter 25: The Most Important Thing
"What's our destination?" Rin asked on the train.
"Shimane Prefecture." Suguro replied. "Near Inari Shrine."
"I see." Yukio mused. "We're heading towards Haneda Airport. From there, we'll go by plane."
"Do you know why it's Shimane Prefecture?" Miwa asked Takama.
"I let Izumo have the plush doll that I summoned." Takama let his puppet talk. "And I can locate the position of the things that I summon. You can see it as a transmitter."
When did he give it to her? Yukio wondered. "By the way, Shimane Prefecture is Kamiki's and Paku's hometown."
"That means her hometown and the place where she's captive is the same." Shiemi reasoned. "What kind of connection could there be?"
"Let's talk about the current situation." Yukio stated on the plane as Shiemi handed out the bento boxes she prepared.
"Last night, the True Cross Knights' Headquarters and all the branch offices received a self-destruct attack from the Illuminati's Seraphim." Ami debriefed. "Ever since last night, we haven't been able to contact anyone from Myoda. However, that's probably due to the fact that even the Kyoto Branch also came under attack during the confusion. At the moment, the amount of damage is still unknown, but we've received information that Gregory had also sustained serious injuries."
"We can see it on the web news," Miwa added. "'The Unknown Cause of the Explosion. Could it be a terrorist attack?'"
"In a way, they're not wrong." Yukio stated. "With the repairs of the broken barriers and the extermination of the demons, the Japanese branch will be chased by the mass media for answers."
"'The Illuminati', they say..." Miwa trailed. "What the hell are they? I know about the name, but I've never thought that the organization actually existed."
"The Illuminati is the famed secret society that was established two hundred years ago." Yukio replied. "But, in the present day, it has been confirmed, without hesitation that this organization collapsed. Although, there can be any number of organizations that call themselves the Illuminati."
"However, in the last decade, we hear the name 'Illuminati' in both small and big incidents linked to demons." Ami took over. "About a year ago, my father and I were ordered to investigate one of those incidents and met face-to-face with the King of Light himself. Well, I won't go into details, but the fight was short and we got trounced, badly. Lucifer somehow knew who we were and decapitated father's head with one blow. I managed to inject my blood into that bastard's body before he left me for dead."
"So, that scar on your back..." Yukio blinked. "It was from that fight, wasn't it?"
