Chapter 6: Japan
Within a large penthouse in Manhattan, multiple figures dressed in all black suits sat around a huge round table with glasses of wine in their hands.
"Reed and his team failed to kill the boy, in fact none of our men managed to survive the assassination attempt.."
One figure spoke with a disturbed expression, while he folded the news paper in his hand.
So many things had happened in just the span of a few hours. Not only was their career, reputation and life in jeopardy, their only chance to escape this mess had been missed.
"So what do we do now? Certainly we can't just sit here and do nothing?!!"
Another man spoke, clearly terrified by what could possibly become his prospective future.
"I have a plan, a course of action, that would not only ensure the safety of our families, it would also shift the attention of the media and protesters from us and preserve our legacies. We would be known as heroes to the state..."
A man sitting in the corner spoke with madness in his eyes.
"At least it's better than nothing...Let's hear about this course of action..."
They agreed and nodded towards the man who spoke earlier on.
"Oh, I would rather show you..."
He instantly took out a remote device from his pocket and pressed a red button under the stunned and terrified looks of everyone present.
*BOOOMMM!*
A terrifying explosion ensued, ripping through the building, down to its core, leaving nothing but debris and cinders. The man was right after all, all their problems had indeed disappeared.
However, man was the source of his own problems. This was a common theory that many philosophers knew but ignored since it wasnt the best course of action. Getting rid of the problems of the world meant getting rid of humanity itself, since evil and sin stemmed from the soul of man.
In a world such as this, not only had the evil taken form, it was in the figures of disgusting creatures called cursed spirits which lurk around the shadows of this world, devouring humankind, the very originators of the evil, the irony.
However, cursed spirits weren't the only evil that lurked through the world, a greater evil resided in the form of a man. A man who would do anything, anything just to achieve his goal of transforming the world into his perfect utopia where he would be worshipped as a Supreme Being, just like the Primordial Gods themselves were.
A figure in the form of a man walked out the fiery explosion completely unharmed with an apathetic gaze.
He looked relatively unharmed and normal, but soon, stitches materialized in his forehead, as if he was a doll that had been stitched up.
'Sigh. Damn Hayato clan!!! It's a pity I wasn't able to finish off that little spawn just like I did to the rest of his family.'
The man sighed inwardly, before he let out an evil chuckle.
'The last thing I wanted was for him to get in contact with those damned Jujitsu sorcerers, but no worries, as long as I can take care of him before he grows, Ill have nothing to fear..'
He mumbled something to himself, before the light of life in his eyes vanished instantly and his body flopped to the ground like a doll with cut strings.
.
Tokyo International Airport, Japan..
A blue haired youth wearing a black face mask that covered the lower part of his face walked out of the airport, holding onto a small bag which contained his belongings.
"Let's see.." Taking out a small folded map from his bag, he immediately began to search, trying to locate a Forex Bureau where he could exchange some dollars into Yen.
After pinpointing his location on the map, he began walking to his destination, while admiring the beautiful streets of Tokyo.
Of course, Tokyo would've been a perfect utopia for him if wasnt for the dense disgusting smell that assaulted his nose wherever he passed.
Ignoring the smell, he stopped a cab and sat in, nodding towards the middle aged driver who flashed him a warm smile.
"And where should I take you, young man?"
The driver asked in a thick Japanese accent, while he looked at Kenshin through the mirror.
"I'm going to the Forex Bureau, the second turn to your right, near the market..."
Kenshin took out his map and replied similarly in Japanese.
"I can tell you're not from around here..."
After a few minutes of driving, the driver looked at Kenshin's masked visage and queried once more.
"I'm Japanese, but I spent majority of my life in the West. This is my first time coming back here.."
He replied after a bit of silence.
"No wonder your accent sounds a bit funny..." The man laughed and brought Kenshin to a stop in front of a huge building.
"The Bureau is on the third floor..." Both of then walked out of the car, as the driver gestured to Kenshin, pointing to the top of the building.
"Thank you. Do you mind waiting here for a bit? I'll pay you as soon as I exchange the foreign money.."
Kenshin spoke and looked at the man.
"Hahaha! Don't worry, here we love foreign money more than we even love Yen..."
The man laughed heartily and accepted a bunch of dollar notes from Kenshin who had paid immediately after the man confirmed his payment method.
"Thank you son! And may you find whatever you're looking for in this disgusting city, Hahaha!"
The man laughed as he drove off, leaving Kenshin a bit stumped, as he shook his head and entered the building, before coming out after a few minutes with a bag full of cash, even after exchanging just a few thousand dollar notes.
"Okay, now let's get something to eat, after, I'll go visit my new place of residence.."
Kenshin nodded, before he walked inside the market, to a small restaurant that sold dumplings.
Two youths sat within the dumpling shop, feasting to their hearts content. The first youth had sparkly silver hair with his azure gem like eyes hidden under the dark circular glasses he wore. He was dressed in a high necked black jacket, black pants and shoes, while the other hand shoulder length long hair and his black uniform resembled a traditional haori, yet it had a modern taste to it.
As the two youths are and laughed to their hearts content, their hearts instantly shuddered, sending an extremely terrifying cursed energy signature heading their way. Not only did it feel endless, but it was unbridled and extremely overbearing, as if nothing else could stand before it.
They instantly arose from their seats, as the youth with the glasses gently took it off with a arrogant smirk.
"Hehehe. A special grade on our first mission as second years? Not bad at all.." With a flare of his own energy, space itself wiggled and began to shatter like mirrors, as the shards revolved around him, like he was the Lord of Space.
Meanwhile the other youth with the long hair simpler readied himself, as a small black dot appeared behind him like a portal , as it slowly enlarged.
*Tap, Tap...*
The footsteps got closer and closer, as the cursed energy seemed to increase with intensity and output with every step.
"Such terrifying cursed energy, why sort of a monster is this?" The youth with the long hair spoke out, as the other youth held up his right index and middle fingers, ready to attack, however the next moment, surprise latched onto their faces, as they saw a blue haired youth standing at the entrance with a slightly disturbed look on his face, and a pair of unusual purplish sclera lined with dark rings which caused the azure eyes of the silver haired youth to twitch violently.
"Who are you?" The blue haired youth instantly materialized a short katana in his hand and got into a stance. Every normal person would've done if he entered a place only to feel two enormously powerful energy signatures locked on him and ready to attack.
