Magic in the Mob
Keiji had started doing phone watch for the BH6 recently when the phone-call. They needed a mystic's opinion on a triple homicide and had apparently heard of Kayura. Keiji took the details down and quickly made a call to Kayura.

	"Kayura-chan, it's Keiji. The police requested your help at a crime scene." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She tenses up just because of what she has to do. This sounds very unpleasant. "I...I see. Do you have an address, Keiji-san? I can head on over shortly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I do." He recites the address. "Do you want me to meet you? For support?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think that may be a good idea. I am not experienced with crime scenes. You may notice things I may not," she offers simply. "And... yes. It will be unsettling for me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll be there, Kayura-chan. Don't worry, you'll do fine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you," she says again in a more subdued tone. Kayura is well aware that she is on the half of the team that is less experienced when it comes to... less savory things. Or two thirds of the team because she isn't sure if Sempai has ever had to do stuff like this. "I'll meet you there." And she hangs up her phone so she can start packing up and head out.

	The crime scene was closer to BH6 headquarters than to Kayura's place, so Keiji arrived first. He patiently awaited Kayura's arrival. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She had to find a lace to park her car which took some time. Then she nearly forgot her badge which would have been embarrassing but she makes it without too many problems besides that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Keiji gives a comforting smile when he sees her. "Good to see you, Kayura-chan." And then he frowns. "I should probably warn you ahead of time..it's not pretty." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I had a feeling it wouldn't be," she agrees her usually cheerful expression fades away. "Show me the way, please." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He pats her once on the shoulder comfortingly before showing her over. There were three bodies, all men dressed in fancy suits. At first it may not seem so bad since they were intact, but all three looked mummified. Also, all three had sword wounds. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Oddly the fact they looked mummified helps. She moves closer and pulls on a surgical mask and gloves so she doesn't mess anything up. Then leans in close taking a close look at the bodies and the wounds.

She already can tell that the blade is about the same size and length as the one she uses or a little longer. Older make so probably older.

And she's trying to 'detect evil' because she has a bad feeling in her gut.

	Keiji walks up a little closer to the crime scene. "They were all Yakuza from the Goro Family." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"This.... this is not good," she mutters. "The angle of the cut hints at it being at the most a daitō. It takes skill to swing this effectively to get strokes quite like this.... That is not what concerns me."

She straightens and steps back. "The wounds feel wrong to me, Keiji-san. Fundamentally wrong. Whatever weapon was used was on a very basic level evil<. And I believe it was a souleater due to the condition of the bodies. These are both rare and dangerous weapons."

	Keiji looks a little pale. "I remember a story of a weapon like that. It was rumored that Hand-Lord Hidetake Takanobu had one in his collection." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weakerlink 2012-02-19 05:23 am UTC (link)
	"Is there any way we can confirm that," she asks after a moment. "I do not wish to place you in danger but that sword is... is... If this is what being near the wounds left over feels like I..." He might think that she is feeling ill by the look on her face. She has never mentioned something like this before. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clawed_progeny 2012-02-19 05:27 am UTC (link)
	"Perhaps. I know that Takanobu himself is not a sword-fighter. In fact from what I heard he kept it mostly as a decoration in his mansion. It may not be his, but it's a scary thought to think more than one such weapon is in the city." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She look pensive now.

"I need to find out if it was stolen then or 'on loan'." She gives him an apologetic look. "My armor sometimes compels me to hunt supernatural evil. Keiji," she explains in a low tone so that they are not over heard.

"If I am.... compelled I do not wish to rush in foolishly and I am aware the police may not be able to fight a souleater sword in the hands of a criminal."

	"I understand Kayura." he sighed, hopefully Amiko would not be too upset by what he was about to do. He takes out his phone and dials in a number. "Yes, this is Lord Deathstrike. Tell Hidetake-sama I'm calling in his debt to me. I have a friend who needs to speak to him." Silence for a time. "Very well." He turns to Kayura. "He'll speak to you."

	That has her very slowly relax. "On your phone or elsewhere," she asks getting ready for anything. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It may be dangerous but I must see him face to face.... to determine if he used it," Kayura decides after a moment. "I do not know what we can do if he did but I must be sure." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clawed_progeny 2012-02-19 05:55 am UTC (link)
	"Okay, I'll set up a meeting somewhere public." He sets up the meeting at a local tea shop where Keiji and Kayura will be waiting. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weakerlink 2012-02-19 06:09 am UTC (link)
	Somewhere public is good. Kayura just hopes that she doesn't say the wrong thing because she can already feel the press of her armor in the back of her mind. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

And it's not long before a limousine pulls up in front of the shop. The driver gets out and opens the door. A large man, built like a small wall, climbs out of the car. he was immaculately dressed in a business suit tailored to his body. He walks forward, smiling cordially at the servers as he approaches the table.

"Deathstrike-sama." He greets with a slight bow.

"Hidetaka-sama," Keiji replies back. One wouldn't know that the man before them had contributed soldiers to the effort to kill Keiji months ago.

"You must be Ms. Yagyu. A pleasure," he extends a massive paw of a hand to her.
