Chapter 13
The clock ticked by agonisingly slow as Bosu sat behind the counter at the empty Dragon's eye. "I'm soooooooo bored!" he groaned staring at the clock which had only moved five minutes despite the fact that he could have sworn that an hour had passed. "I wish I had some chocolate." However, his wish was to be denied as he stared at the pile of empty chocolate wrappers which stood almost as tall as he was.
"That looks like him, Vice Chairman." A mysterious man said looking from his binoculars in his perched location in the trees.
"Let me see." The Vice Chairman said, taking the binoculars and looking into the shop window at Bosu. He then opened his dossier and compared the photo inside with what he could see. "Yes, I think you're right, Wan. It's definitely him!"
"What do you want to do then, sir?" Wan asked
"Tell the team to move out." The Vice Chairman said, tucking Wan's binoculars into his own pocket. "Tell them to make sure Kinnii is standing by. Last time we were in this town, we had trouble."
Back in the store, Bosu continued to stare at the clock and leaned against the counter. He pulled out his phone and checked to see if he had any messages. "Ugh!" he groaned again, looking at the lack of activity on his screen. "I just wish something interesting would happen. I don't even care what it is!"
Little did he know Bosu was about to get his wish as the door opened allowing two men in uniform to enter the store. "Hello," Bosu said lifting himself up and standing up in order to pretend not to be bored. "What can I do for you toda-ARGH!" His attempt at customer service was cut short by the giant net which was thrown over him. "Hey! What the hell?! LET ME GO!"
"We've got him, Vice Chairman." Wan said, jumping onto the net and using his weight to hold his captive down. "Good work, Wan." The Vice Chairman said "Now let's get him back to Jusenkyo and we can begin the treatment."
Just then, the Vice Chairman and Wan turned towards the back of the store as they heard the footsteps of someone coming. "I'm back, Bosu!"
When Kiagi walked into the front on the store, he was met with a strange sight indeed. In front of him were three people. The one he knew was currently trapped in a net and being held down by two that he didn't.
"Well this is certainly an interesting turn of events." He said leaning against the counter to observe the scene. "I can't leave the store for three minutes without you getting into some sort of bother, can I?"
"You've been gone for five hours!" Bosu answered back from under the net.
"I hardly think that's the point, dumb-dumb." Kiagi said, clicking his fingers and lifting the two men off of the whining fat dwarf and onto the floor unceremoniously before evaporating the net that was also on top of him. "So what'd he do this time?"
"This is no concern of yours!" The vice chairman said rising up to his feet. "Who are you, wizard?"
"Do you see a pointy hat and cape?" Kiagi snapped, quite offended. "I'm a sorcerer! Wizards have to learn magic, I was born with it. Now I'll ask again, why are you trying to procure my assistant?"
"He's wanted for crimes against the codes of our ancient and secret organisation." He said proudly "The Jusenkyo Preservation Society has existed for thousands of years-"
"Oh, I know you guys." Kiagi said much to the surprise of the vice chairman.
"Wait, what-?" he said
"Secret organisations don't usually tend to have Twitter." Kiagi pointed out, causing the vice chairman to grumble and moan.
"Hmmph, dammit Wan!" He said scolding his underling. "I told you not to make that account!"
As far as Wan was concerned, he knew for a fact that it was actually the Vice Chairman's idea. But rather than point that out and cause an argument which would have likely ended at the wrong end of Kinnii's sword, he decided it was best just to take the blame and keep quiet.
"Now secret organisations failing to remain secret are one thing," Kiagi said walking around the counter before jumping back to sit on it. "But two idiots trying to kidnap a third is quite another. I don't know what crimes Bosu has done but you're not taking him anywhere. He still has to make dinner for tonight."
"Is that seriously the only reason you keep me around these days?" Bosu cried.
"Quiet you!" Kiagi said
"Just who the hell do you think you are?" The Vice Chairman said "You come in here and interfere in our business and now you just sit there as if you own the damn place!"
"Well actually I do." Kiagi answered "My name's Kiagi Yamada. And I'm the owner of this store."
"Wait, Yamada?" The Vice Chairman said "Wan! Search the files!"
Wan looked into his small satchel and pulled out another dossier. His eyes lit up as he found exactly what he was looking for. "Yes Vice Chairman," He said excitedly "This man is on our list! He's been using his curse to maintain an eternal life!"
"What curse does he have?" The Vice Chairman asked
Much to the disappointment of Wan, the page turned out to be missing. "Hmm...It doesn't say." He said sadly.
"Well no matter," The Vice Chairman said "I'm sure we'll find out when we take him back to headquarters."
"Oh, so now you want me too?" Kiagi said folding his arms and grinning. "Well I'm sorry but neither of us are going anywhere."
"Hah!" The vice Chairman said chuckling to himself before snapping his fingers. "We'll see about that!"
The sound of clicking fingers was soon followed by another, more sinister sound. The sound of heavy footprints making their way towards the door.
