kayura yagyu, lord deathstrike, plot-"the eternal serpent"

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.

	"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)

	"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)

	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.

	"Hai," she greets with a polite smile and shakes the offered hand. She must look so tiny compared to him. "Did K." She pauses and decides to go with it. "Did Deathstrike-sempai explain why I must speak with you," she begins looking the picture of a polite college student. Except for of course the security badge hanging in plain sight.

	"He did," Hidetaka confirms. He orders a tea from the nearby server. "He said you wanted to know about a sword formally in my possession." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She relaxes because at least she needs not worry.

"I believe that it is a daitō souleater?" She looks very serious. "Do you know anything of it's history?"

She pauses then grimaces. "If I know more then it may be easier to track down who has it. They have used it recently and I cannot allow them to continue to."

Her armor is nearly buzzing in her ears over this. She thinks she may have to have Keiji do this though if it is as bad as she suspects.

The server brings him his tea, and Takanobu takes a sip before answering. "It's called Life Drinker. I acquired it four years ago. I studied it's history and decided it was not worth using myself giving the risks. So instead I kept it as part of my collection. I ordered that none of my men were to use it."

He takes another sip. "Recently I was approached by the daughter of a former business associate, a Miss Ginchiyo Kurada. Apparently she knew something of the sword's powers and wished to purchase it. I warned her of its potential side-effects, but she didn't care. So in the end I accepted a substantial payment and gave it to her. Frankly I was happy to be rid of the damned thing."

"That was wise. Such a weapon can easily be turned against the one who uses it," she comments. She listens calmly to his explanation of what happened to the sword.

"Then I believe her capable of using the sword herself. Which is a shame but not unexpected." She knows with the name of the sword she can get the history of it. She will be forced to track the young woman down or allow the police to handle this. She isn't sure she could let the police put themselves in such danger, she still recalls that ghost of the young Captain from long ago.

"Thank you for your help, Hidetaka-san. You may have helped save many lives with this information."

"My advice would be to check into the Goro Family. They are her family's main rivals in the area. If they fall, the Kuradas would control the whole territory."

He finishes his drink. "You're welcome, Kayura-san." He stands up and looks over at Keiji. "Things are even between us now."

"I'm aware, and I'll be ready."

Hidetaka nods, indicating to his men that they were leaving.

	Kayura will wait until they are alone before she stops looking quite so formal. "This is bad. If she really is clearing out the Giro family... it's going to end in a gang war of some kind, isn't it?" She shakes her head. "I'm not sure how to proceed here, Keiji. This isn't the kind of thing I've ever had to deal with." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clawed_progeny 2012-02-19 07:49 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes," he says gravelly. "The last thing the city needs is a gang war. We need to track down this Ginchiyo." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Which should be easy, actually. We can use the databases we have access to to get started." Then she pauses carefully. "Do we want to alert the others or take care of this ourselves?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clawed_progeny 2012-02-19 09:27 pm UTC (link)
	He thinks on that. "We should at least leave a message at headquarters. I imagine Amiko would want to be kept in the loop." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weakerlink 2012-02-19 09:36 pm UTC (link)
	"And Hajime-sempia should we need to ask for back up," Kayura agrees. "I do not think we will need back up but it does not hurt to be prepared.... I am not sure what this woman will be like, truly. I expect that she seeks power and has little regard for how she gets it though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clawed_progeny 2012-02-19 09:45 pm UTC (link)
	"Good idea." Keiji takes his cell and leaves a message at headquarters. When finished he turns back to Kayura. "From what Hidetaka said, he implied she knew what the sword was capable of. So we can assume when we confront her that she will have knowledge of how to use it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weakerlink 2012-02-19 09:50 pm UTC (link)
	"You're right," she agrees. "I believe my armor would be capable of protecting me from the sword. For a time. I do not wish to kill her. If she is the killer we must arrest her." She doesn't intend to get struck by that sword. She knows she should be good enough to not get hit.... maybe. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Agreed, can you track the sword mystically?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weakerlink 2012-02-20 03:38 am UTC (link)
	"We need to stop at my car," Kayura decides knowing that Keiji doesn't need to deal with naked shenanigans and neither does she. "I need you to carry a bag that has a spare set of clothes. I'll need to transform into my armor in order to fully track the sword." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clawed_progeny 2012-02-20 03:46 am UTC (link)
	"Ah, good idea. That won't be a problem," he assures. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
