Chapter 5 - The Changing Girl

I see a girl with pink hair and kimono go past the street corner. I know all those who are Japanese but i have never known a woman with pink hair wearing this culture. I start to run and try to catch up to her. I take the corner and noticed her going into a alley way. Does she know? I sprint and go into the alleyway where she stops. "What do you want?" The woman asks. I say nothing and wait for her reaction. The woman turns around but then i notice her face it's Ai! As soon as she notices it's me she runs up and hugs me. "Im so sorry about 9 years ago i was foolish to think like that" She apologises sympathetically. She is talking about how she came to me at 15 and asked to be beautiful. It was a easy task as she already had a good face structure. I dyed her hair and carlos did surgery after i taught her how to be elegant and cunning. It took about a year. She started to run a business full of woman where there speciality was getting information. After a short time they knew everything about everyone and there information cost a lot of money. I helped her with this and she promise she will give me 25% and any information i need despite her asking for me to take 50. But one day she told me she was moving away because she didn't trust me. I tried to convince her but nothing helped. I later found out that a demon i forgot the name of convinced her i was talking behind her back. "Wait so have you moved back?" I asks. She nods her head in response. She is still hugging me tightly. "Im so sorry you was a mother to me and i have been here for a year but i didn't have the strength" She sods on. We both let go and Aimi starts to wipe her tears away with her sleeves. I look at her hair in confusion. "Oh a man has started to stalk one of my girls i was going to do some investigating" She explains. She takes it off to show she still has her golden long hair. "Why don't you come back to my place?" I ask. She lights up and we both walk together in the street. We take the two corners to revel my castle like mansion with gates and magical barriers. The gates are closed of course so i use a spell in which the gates open. I look back and Ai's face is full of happiness and wonder. Normally she is a serious and mature girl with a hint of mysterious intent but when she is with me she opens up a lot like a different person. We walk inside the house and into the living room. Hecate (She's one of my favourite maids) comes over and place two hot cup of teas on the table with milk and sugar. I'm guessing she could sense me and a different energy coming this way. Hecate is smiling like usually but she seems happier then usual. She leaves and Ai starts to talk "So I'm going to start sending 25% of my business income and Intel like usual now im back. Is that okay?" She asks. I nod and add three sugars into my tea and start stirring it. I look at her face and she is disappointed. I can read her like a book she probably wants to do more for me. "I need a favour. I need all the information about the first princess" i request. She begins to smile, pulls a envelope from her heavy sleeve and puts it on the table. "I don't have much yet after i leave i will go and get more so come to my Minka and show the girl next to the door the envelope" She explains. The envelope doesn't she mean the thing inside? "Before you ask its a trick so incase someone else gets it they will open it which is proof it isn't theres" She explains clevely. Wow thats pretty smart. I begin to drink my tea while she leave hers alone. "Now then all i know right now is the first princess loves to go in garden and that she has special bodyguard which is very hard to beat. There has been some rumours that the father is abusing her mentally but that needs more investigation" She adds. Intresting what a typical girl but the bodyguard is a problem. "Thank you Aimi that helps a lot before i forget leave the name of the guy who is stalking one of the girls" I reply. She nods, picks up a piece of paper, Writes his name and leaves quickly. Wow looks like luck is on my side. I can't believe Aimi is back i missed her.
