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.

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)

	weakerlink 2012-02-19 09:19 pm UTC (link)
	"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)

	weakerlink 2012-02-20 03:56 am UTC (link)
	She nods slightly. "It's not girly looking so it shouldn't look out of place," she explains as she gets a move on. "I.... have a bad feeling about this. I don't know if it's my armor over reacting to the situation or what." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clawed_progeny 2012-02-20 04:01 am UTC (link)
	"I think it's understandable. A weapon that can harm the soul is no small thing, but I'll be at your side through this. You have my word on that," he affirmed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She gave him a slight smile. She was not going to admit it but the tam had become so much like family to her. Keiji was like an older brother. A very scary older brother but that didn't actually bother her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Keiji picks up the bag of clothes she indicated. "Then let's get to it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weakerlink 2012-02-20 04:30 am UTC (link)
	She waits until they're not in a spot where people can see them or there's video recording before she transforms. Then she focuses and starts moving obviously following a trail. The armor looks imposing even in the light of day. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Keiji follows stoically behind her, but aside from a few shocked passerbys, there was no threat here. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weakerlink 2012-02-20 04:49 am UTC (link)
	It is Japan though. Seeing something like this shouldn't be too crazy. And Kayura is very calmly on the trail and remaining a very polite figure which might help cut down on some of the really odd looks they're getting. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And eventually their search leads them to a building with a couple of brutes in suits standing outside. "This is Kurada property. Lady Ginchiyo isn't taking visitors today." Keiji turns to Kayura. "In there?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weakerlink 2012-02-20 04:57 am UTC (link)
	Kayura just nodded her head. She usually didn't say a word while in armor. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Keiji strode up to the pair. "Odds are you both know what your employer has and what it can do. Weapons like that can't be controlled and it won't be long before the souls of all those around her are nothing more than potential meals. Do you really want that?"

Keiji spoke calmly and coldly, with an edge of menace. Clearly unnerved the two guards looked at one another nervously. "You can..get rid of that thing?"

	Kayura just nodded grimly. She thinks in armor like hers it must at least look convincing and it's better than just saying yes since they likely expect a man's voice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
