Have you ever reached that point in your life where nothing you do or anything in your life just seems to go well? Well, I think everyone does at one point and I can remember mine as if it were yesterday. On my fifth birthday I got my powers (chuckles) but that sounds like a good thing right? I finally got my powers so everything after that should be simple right?.....Wrong! Everything after I got my powers got bad and it only seemed to get worse; I fought with a bully on my first day of school, my parents were murdered and I ended up in the hospital. Things should have ended there, at least that's what I thought... but never did I imagine that even after all this…I would be getting arrested...
Daisuke: (looking at Yamato) Yamato Toshido you are under arrest.
Miss Keen: (looking at Daisuke) What's the meaning of this?
Daisuke: (looking at her) Miss, this boy is under arrest
Miss Murakami:(stands) Under what charges?
Daisuke: He is the prime suspect of the murder of former blacklists Yoshi Toshido and Mira Toshido
Dax: (shocked) That's insane. How can Yamato be accused of that?!
Karin: (confused)...This doesn't make any sense. Why would you think he murdered his own parents?
Daisuke: I am to export this boy to a detaining centre where he will be questioned and kept under surveillance until the trial
Miss Keen: (gets in front of yamato) you are not taking this boy anywhere! do you understand me?!
Diasuke: (sighs slightly) With all due respect Miss, I need to ask you to get out of my way
Miss Keen: Yeah? Just try to get pass me
Daisuke: Miss this is a hospital so I can't fight you here , I'll ask you one last time...get out of my way.
Yamato: (to Miss Keen) Stop! Miss Keen, there's no way you can fight him here
Miss Murakami: (looks at him) but its not like we can let him take you. You're innocent
Daisuke: I never said he was guilty Miss. He is innocent until he is proven guilty and I promise you he will not be harmed till his trial. All we want to do is ask him a few questions
Miss Keen: (looks at Yamato then at the detective)...And that's all?
Daisuke: That's all Miss
Miss Keen: (folds her arms) He still can't leave yet. As you can see he is currently being treated. The attack on his home still has an effect on his body so he can't leave the hospital untill his treatment is complete.
Daisuke: Understood, I'll come back when he has recovered, but since I can't take him I will need to take someone else with me back for questioning so we can know what happened. Anyone who can be of help to our investigation
Miss Keen: Take me then
Dax,Karin,Yamato and Miss Murakami: (shocked) WHAT?!
Miss Murakami: (stands) There's no way that I'm going to let that happen.(to the Daisuke)take me instead detective
Miss Keen: (scoffs) Don't be ridiculous Murakami your not going anywhere
Miss Murakami: (looks at her) But..
Miss Keen: (cuts in)But nothing, I'm going with the detective and that's final. I'm the only one who knows everything that happened from the school to the house and I have the most information so my leaving is non negotiable.
Dax: (helpless)Be careful miss keen
Karin:(worried) Please be safe
Miss keen:(Chuckles as she leaves)like I'd be in any danger. I'm counting on all of you, protect Yamato. We will figure what is going on and clear your name. I promise
Yamato: (looking at her)Miss…Keen
Daisuke: Let's go Miss (closes the door behind them)
Karin: (looks at the others) What's even going on? this doesn't make any sense!
Dax: This won't work. I'm not going to let this happen, I'm going to go talk to mum so she gets dad to help us. There has to be something we can do
Miss Murakami: You're right that might work. As much as I don't want to disturb your father we will need his help on this
Yamato: How are things just happening so fast and so badly (thinking) that's right, it's the fault of that group called the red eye. It's the organisations fault that all of this is happening. That means, all we need to do is expose them and I can clear my name and Miss Keen will be back (to himself) we will not just clear my name, we will expose the organisation responsible for all of this. I swear it !
MEANWHILE
???: Welcome back Six
Six: (looks up at the person)Oh Masquerade, its you.
Masquerade: (smiling with his eyes closed) Oh don't sound like that I'm actually happy to see you (looks at him) alive that is,and what a shock it is too. Not just for me, but for everyone as well
Six: Are you really all that shocked that I survived the mission
Masquerade: You have no idea. Honestly, do you have any clue about how worried I was? (dramatic) I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat I was just up all day and all night restless knowing I was going to loose my new found friend...
???: (Cuts in) Honestly you're such a liar. He says that but the pig ate and slept pretty well....In fact(looks at him with meh eyes)...too well.
Masquerade: (folds his arms and turn s away) Oh damn you Shiva! why do you have to go out of your way to make me look bad? You're just jealous about how close I and Six are now aren't you? Admit it. I see the way you look at him you want him all to yourself,don't you?
Shiva: I admit he has potential but you're just spouting nonsense to throw him off the fact that you're a liar. Honestly your just too pathetic (turns to Six) welcome back six
Masquerade: (snapping his fingers at Shiva)Why you....(notices her silence towards him) What the..? Are you ignoring me?! Hey!! I'm talking to you. Shiva!!!
Shiva: (to Six as she ignores him) How was the mission?
Six: (ignoring Masquerades movement around him) I'm sure you heard all about it, seems like the entire red eye has
Masquerade: (constantly being ignored) Oh come on now even you too Six? Hello?!
Shiva: I did hear most of it but a lot of the info has been filtered. Some things were added and other things were removed so I'd like to hear it from the source. Personally I wish I had seen it for myself
Six: (looks at her) Oh? so you didn't?
Shiva: (shrugs her shoulders) No. I've been here the entire time. If I had been there it would have been kind of like a date don't you think (giggles as she blushes)
Six: (looking away)...then it looks like none of you followed me
Masquerade: (interested) Wait. You were followed?
Six: Yeah I noticed it at some point in my battle. Not too far from where I was I saw someone at a distance watching me right up until I left the battle .
Masquerade: (tilts his head) Maybe boss man sent them. But why would he? I mean he's never had to send anyone for us before?
Shiva: Maybe he didn't trust Six?
Masquerade: hmm... I never took boss to be the paranoid type.(shrugs the thoughts off) Na, knowing him there's no way he would waste his time to send anyone to watch you, after all the missions he sent you on was actually a suicide run and he probably wasn't expecting you to come back anyway. I'm sure he was expecting you to run when you were outmatched. After all, we didn't complete our initiation missions but boss still let us join. So if it was an issue of trust if he didn't trust you. You would already be dead (smiles)
Shiva: (supports her chin with her pointing finger) Now that you mention it, you're right. Boss wouldn't have to go through all that and now that I realize that, I just remembered. For the time that you haven't been around thanks to your mission someone else has been missing too
Masquerade: She's right. Someone else hasn't been around and it makes sense, only he would pull a stunt like that
Six: (looks at them) who exactly is it?
Shiva: huh? You haven't figured it out? Well you did ever only meet him once and he is a higher up so you don't see him often
Masquerade: Yeah its none other than…
???: (Cuts in) No need for all that(walks in through the entrance and faces them)..... it's me
Six: (looks at him) Oh? I should have known it was you…Aikawa
Aikawa: Yes (adjusts his glasses) its good to see you Six. Back, well, alive (looking displeased)
Six: Well ,I'm surprised myself. I didn't see myself coming back from that mission either but here I am
Aikawa: (sarcastic) And we are so happy to have you
Six: (looking at him,serious) you can stop lying Aikawa. Why were you watching me?
Aikawa: (shrugging his shoulders) I just wanted to make sure that the Red eyes' new investment didn't become a liability too soon. (Puts his hand in his trousers pockets) The boss has a liking to you and that alone is why he let you join this organisation but honestly the boss will add just about anyone he likes because of their potential so he blindly trusts them. That's why its my job to separate the weed from the chaff (adjusts glasses)we need to be able to trust you, measure your ability and make sure you don't stray from the path. The boss's dreams and plans are too big for neither you nor I to comprehend, so its our job to make those a reality and I won't let you or any other favourites get in the way!
Six: So that's how it is? I see. I knew there was something too strange about the task I was given. Boss gave me something so incredibly difficult that only people who were insane would take it. And I know Boss would never give us something we couldn't handle so the only other person who could give such a job was someone who had it in for me
Aikawa: Ho? All figured out now aren't we?
Shiva: (shocked) No way....
Masquerade: (also shocked) It can't be... Aikawa you didn't really…
Aikawa: (bursts into laughter) That's right!! I gave six the suicide mission hoping it would lead him to his death! But somehow you managed to survive... I did plan to retrieve your body from the battle if you were too badly damage but it seems you didn't need my help. You ended up making it back to us whole and healthy
Six: Well, if it wasn't for the blacklists' son I probably wouldn't have. He was a good enough distraction to throw them off their game so they couldn't fight well while trying to protect him. After all there is no greater liability than the presence of a child in battle
Aikawa: Well said, really...well said. But yet, you did not kill the child
Shiva: (looks at Six) You didn't?
Masquerade: (shrugs his shoulders) Well the child wasn't the mission so was his death necessary.
Six: (to Shiva) No I didn't (to Masquerade) and no it wasn't (faces the 3 of them) but my reason for not killing the child was simply because I don't kill children. And with the wounds I had even that child could have easily killed me and if he did wouldn't it damage the reputation of the Red Eye. The public would believe that we are just another small time group of criminals that could even be taken out by just a mere child that and we would have gone public and we have to stay as quiet as possible until we are meant to surface. Things also got a bit more out of control than I calculated so I thought it best to get out of there before anything else happened
Aikawa: So you had the interest of the Red Eye at heart? But even then it wouldn't have mattered all too much because of superstitious people who would have believed it was because he has white hair. Making all the stories that our parents and grandparents told us as kids become a reality would make the people come to fear him and treat him as an outcast (laughs sinisterly) He could be a valuable pawn for us someday.Maybe not killing him was the best. But still, it's a possible loose end..
Six: (cuts in as he looks at him)Look! if it bothers you so much why don't you go and kill the kid?! (Walks past him)
Aikawa: (raises his palms to him) No, no. We have others working that out so there's no need to worry yourself
Six: (stops in place)
Shiva: (looks at him)What do you mean by that?
