The Streets of Shibuya

Akria Kurusu with Morgana tucked away inside his bag walked the busy streets of Shibuya to meet up with Futaba Sakura at Cafe Seiren. Earlier when he had nothing to do during the day so he train then he got a texts message from Futaba. On her message: she was explaining her situation to him with regards to a Mirage that she befriended and warned not to tell Kiria about it, yet.

He was sort of surprised to learn this from Futaba but felt nothing out of the ordinary revolving his friend... still it was interesting that she's currently at Shibuya when she made it clear with her schedule.

Morgana tagged along, only because he was also interested in her story as well.

The raven haired teen walked in the Cafe, he was greet by a cute lilac haired maid, with pigtails that reach the front of her shoulders, at the entrance.

"Hello can I get you something?" the Maid ask politely.

"Um, yeah I'll have a strawberry smoothie." Akira handed the maid the balance amount, "Keep the change."

"Thank you! Coming right up~" she bowed and walked away to the kitchen.

Akira spot Futaba lounging about at a empty table, she was easy to spot, thanks her green coat, long orange hair and headsets it made her sticks out like a sore thumb compared to a crowd of other students and few adults.

Futaba rested her head on the table waiting for Akira to show up and was about to shut her eyes-

"Hey."

Futaba jumped at Akira voice, she shot him a look, "HEY? That's all you have to say to me? You do realized that I almost got my butt kicked a few hours ago."

"Good to know that your the real deal and not an imposter, Sojiro was just wondering about you after I read your text so I had to make up a story."

Futaba gave him a deadpan expression, "Well... I supposed its understandable considering I just got transported to the Idoalaspear in my own room."

The black haired youth shrugged, "Not first time your room became a portal."

"Oh be quiet you Stalker." Futaba curled her lips to a smile and sticked her tough at him.

"You got me there..." He said trying to humor her as he sat down the chair opposite Futasba. He place his dark bag next to an empty chair, Morgana peeked out a little before retreating back as they spotted the lilac haired young maid walked up to the pair with their beverage. Futaba ordered 'Rainbow-UFO' slushie.

They thanked the maid and watched her leaved to the kitchen. Akira then remarked, "I supposed we should be talking about what has happen with you at the Idolaspear earlier."

"I supposed... but not here. I think we should go over to my bosses Condo, she needs to know about what I've been through." She said before sipping her cup.

Akira rised a brow, "What about Kiria?"

"I don't want to worry Kiria by dropping a bombshell of a news, besides she's busy rehearsing at a studio for the concert on Friday," She then sighed, "This has more to do with me anyway and going over to visit & informed Mother Goose will make things a lot smother... or I can tell my foreign dancing instructor, he can take any news I throw at him."

Akira thought about for a moment, Morgana peeked up from the bag again-

"Oh, wait!" Futaba exclaimed, "I never asked for Barry-Sama address! All well, never mind then. He hates Cats apparently, even though he's such an Magical Girls Fanatic and to mention he's kind of a hot head."

"Okay... then I guess we have to go visit your boss then."

"Yup and besides I texts Sojiro that I was going over to visit Mother Goose anyway. He replied back and told me it okay as long as if your with me, by the way you better let him know too."

"Sure, sure..." the Black haired young man rolled his eyes, and started texting on his phone.

"Was hopping I get to see Tharja-chan and Ninian-chan at this unseen realm but I supposed paying a visit to this hot rich lady counts," Morgana thought as he hided himself inside Akria's bage.

Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo

Master Bedroom

Krogan stood up arms crossed as he waited in the bedroom for Moza to get done in the shower. His thoughts are on the girl & her Mirage he had the opratunity to meet with her; he can tell that she is the spitting image of her mother. Moza believed that by encountering the child at the Idolaspear that there's a meaing to it and seeing Isshiki daughter there was no accident.

He knows that Moza tends to believe in some higher force that lead them to their potential in the first place because of Isshiki. He bleives her of course, its not every day that they get to meet Wakaba Isshiki's only offspring, but for his experience wielding two entity's isn't new however its a rare thing these days.



To Moza's credit though; they had worked with Isshiki on supernatural research before she died. Her daughter must of inharet some special power from her-

*Knock *KNOCK

"Hey it me!" said the woman voice at the door. Krogan admittedly knew who the voice belong to, "Enter!"

The black haired young woman barged through the door, her attire is a black sweater with military pants and black boots, "I need to speak to Moza! This is important!" Mirai looked around while she stormed to the living room.

"She's taking a shower," Just as the Bodyguard said it Moza came out of the bathroom wearing her white robe with a sash tied around her wast.

Mirai and Krogan saw Moza was humming to herself as she waltz up to her bed, eyes closed and not in a care of the world. Mirai was about to open her mouth to say something but she could tell that she's ignoring her and Krogan.

Moza Yuzu happily hopped on the bed, like any perky former cheerleader girl from high-school would, and garbed her hair brush to com her hair. With a glace she finnly notice Mirai.

"Oh hello Mirai! When did you get back?"

Mirai Takahashi slapped her forehead and snapped, "Are you kidding me? You know I've just came in and please don't call me Darling again!"

"Then should I call you sugar muffin?"

Mirai frowned at her boss, "Don't make me kill you."

"Now don't be that way," Moza smiled wagging her finger in-front of her comrade, "Just give me one more minutes and I will get back to you~"

"Sure groom away why don't you? Its not like something bad would happen," Mirai retorted.

"I assumed this has something to do with little Mrs. Sakura," Krogan cranked a smile.

"What?" Miria shot daggers at Krogan, "No- It's about this Mirage War that's going on right now!"

"A War?" His amusement expression fell, "You mean in the Idolaspear?"

"That what I've been trying to say," Mirai said hissed, "Private Puffin had informed me and Lyn about it."

"A war between what?" Moza ask casually as she sprayed two puffs of perfume on her neck and continued to bushed her hair.

Mirai sighed in relief, knowing that she has now got her leader's attention even though she could still tell that Moza doesn't give a crap, "Between The Collation of Wayfinders & The Opera of Chaos." She said calmly.

"Really? Hmm, that could explain a large number of Mirage actually recently... A clash between two super powers is never a good time." Moza said, "I assume Yashiro-kun informed about the news?"

"Of course," the former military official rolled her eyes, even though Yashiro had now left the group to fully pursue his father's legacy Moza sitll wanted to give Yashiro the heads up now and then,"But that not all- the Opera of Chaos has over run Illosionary Tokyo Tower!"

Those words 'over run Illosionary Tokyo Tower' made Moza blinked in surprise.

"Tokyo Tower you say?"

"Yes," Mirai answered flatly.

Moza's expression hardens, her gaze where on the floor as she stood up and pasted back & forth to ponder while she cross her arms on her chest. Mirai and Krogan eyed their bosses movements.

Moza stops and exclaimed, "I remembered Cursed Otto mention to me about this group going to war with the Wayfinderds but I didn't take it to seriously at the time. They apparently have super weapons that looked like organic space ships or the moon; I think their called-"

"The Triangulum," Krogan finished. Mirai looked at Moza's Russian bodyguard with surprise, Moza on the other hand just nodded to him.

"Good guess, hun~ Mind telling me how you had that figured?" the attractive slender Moza raised a brow as she cross her arms over her large chest.

Krogan reach in his suit pocket to pull out a letter, "It was in my mail box last morning, it had your name in it but with my address. I've been meaning to tell you this madam but I got caught up with our mission to informed you." He handed the letter to his boss, "It was a good call on whoever part to mail it to me because at the time you were busy with your photo ops to notice."

The energetic fair skin women examined the already open letter until she spotted the name 'from Igor', "Hmmm~ well, well, well."

"Who's is it from?" Mirai asked just for the sake of asking.

"Letter form the old long nose geezer," Moza sneered as she open the letter and skimmed through it.

*Knock *KNOCK

"Room Service!"

"Oh good, foods here! Krogan honey could you get that?" Moza asked after she was done reading and handed it to her stoic friend, Mirai.

"Yes ma am," The bodyguard nodded went to the door to let the serviceman in with the table roller with a tray of dozen cup cakes, a dozen of cookies, tea pot and two medium rare steaks.

"Thanks hun, I'm starving- Krogan dear, could you give this man a tip for me please?"

He nodded and handed the serviceman his tip. The said serviceman thanked him and returned back to the kitchen down stairs.

Moza grabed the tray that has a plate of steaks, with a fork and a knife and happily sated back down on her bed.

"Wait so apparently, if I'm reading this correctly, there's another Duel User somewhere out there?" Mirai was done reading and tossed the letter to the side and glared at her boss.

"Oh! Yes Igor knew about it in advance," The Tan haired woman said simply as she enjoys her stakes.

"Did you think I didn't know that - its on the fine print - but why didn't we knew about him 'knowing in advance'? A Duel User of all things...!"

"Well at lest the Duel User is the offspring of Isshiki-Sama," Moza took a bite out of her meal and giggled while chewing with her mouth close.

"What?" Mirai said flatly as her expression deadpans. The former Japaneses Military officer remembered working for security at Isshiki's research facility before Isshiki died. All she remembered most was that guard duty was a boring job and she never thought much of the head researcher but noted her to be a bookworm of the supernatural. To Isshiki's credit most of her theories are on point, which is the main reason why she was giving a facility by the government.

Moza made a soft laugh to which Mirai snapped out of her thoughts.

"What the heck is so funny?" Mirai Takahashi raised a brow.

"Remember the time we use to work for Isshiki-Sama?" Moza Yuzu asked.

The black haired woman rolled her eyes, "I'm sorry but what dose that have to do with the current situation? Isshiki is dead remember?"

"But not her legacy," Krogan chimed in, "Miss Futaba may have inherit some kind of potential from her late mother."

"I supposed it makes some sort of sense," Mirai closed her eyes while crossing her arms, "But the three of us are Duel User's too so..."

Krogan nodded, "It would appear that since we are aquatinted with Isshiki-Sama that we could under go the trials to become a Duel User... like how Igor stated."

Mirai open her eyes, "You know, I'm going by this with littler information, especially with Isshiki! I want to know what you guys been up to and I want to know now."

"What's the magic word~?" Moza ask.

Mirai huffed, "Please?"

"Why certainly dear!" Moza chirped, "Now wasn't that so hard?"

"You have no idea..." Mirai rolled her eyes.

Krogan watch Moza explained the details, and her own spin. He then pondered about the other stuff such as the Mirage War, he wondered if this could hider their quota for the hunt.

Maiko's Condo

Living Room

{Play Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne OST - Large Map Real Universe}

President Maiko of Fortuna Entertainment huffed as she was halfway done with all the paperwork on her desk, plus additional calls from the Chief of Police to vitrify all legal & Security background.

Maiko wore a white dress shirt, unbutton, over her nightdress, that hugged her curvy areas, and her black hair neatly tied to a ponytail. The CEO lend back on her chair and looked up at the ceiling she began to tap the pen on her lower lip before resuming back to her paperwork.

~Ring Tone~

Maiko picked up her cell phone her face brighten when she got another call from her young Assistant Programmer.

"Futaba-chan, hi! How are you, are you okay? …Good, I got your Topic Message I'm sorry that I haven't got back to you sooner!" Maiko was chatting to her Assistant/Idol employee on the phone while she pending the documents.

"Oh, so you're close by and with two of your friends… Okay, just be careful alright, I'll meet you at the door- Hm? Your friends not coming over…? But he's escorting you, right? ...Okay, that's good, wonderful~!" Maiko giggled, "I looked forward to another visit Futaba-Chan, bye~"

80 minutes later

Maiko walked over to the door, she open to see a blue-eyed black cat rushed inside first and Futaba who just casually walked in the Condo as well.

Futaba turned her heel to face her boss and raised her hands in defense, "Okay before you say anything we had to make a slight detour to my place to let Sojiro know that I'm okay and— "

The orange haired 15-year-old girl was taken aback when her attractive supervisor rushed to enveloping her in a squishy hug, "Futaba-chan, it's good to see you again! I was thinking it might be an imposter on the phone!" Futaba's face was red as a tomato as the black haired taller woman's cleavage enveloped her; she could only imagine what Morgan & Morgana is thinking right now—wait, Morgan & Morgana...? A Female Mirage with a boy's name and a Male Shadow with a girl's name and with the same name accentually. No wonder Mona-san snickered when she told him and Akira-kun about the name of the Mirage and she never thought about it up until now.

Oh crap! While Futaba was pondering she almost forgot to say- "Maiko-san, your massive boobs on my face again," She muffled as her face was red once more.

Maiko blinked in surprise, "Oh. What was that dear?"

"Oxygen is becoming an issue."

Maiko made a sly smile, "Are you sure? Because I can feel you breathing well."

"Please let me go!"

Giggling Maiko let go of her embrace. Futaba took the moment to regain her composure and adjusting her glasses.

"In all seriousness, you had me worried," Maiko crosses her arms, "Are you sure you okay? That Mirage that had attacked you would have devoured you."

Futaba was about to remark 'Yes Maiko-san, I'm alright,' but her boss has every right to be concerned about her wellbeing. She instead nodded.

Maiko sighed, "Tiki & Fae had e-mailed me about what you been through they seem to be worried about you as well."

"I was afraid of that…" Futaba looked down, although she had replied back to Tiki & Fae on her Topic Message thoughts she doubt that it wasn't enough to calm their worries.

"Well, we can't head over to my head office right now since the portal to our world and the Bloom Palace is closed off; it will only be open when during official work hours, starting tomorrow morning." Maiko made an apologetic smile.

"I believe you've already told me and Kiria about it when we first came over," Futaba scratched the back of her head—though if the Persona User was honest she was hoping that she would find a place for Morgan to stay at.

"Oh, so you want to spend some time with me?" Maiko exclaimed in delight, she jumped up and down like a school girl.

Futaba's gaze was drawn to Maiko-san's enormous bouncing rack. The lens of Futaba's glasses started to fog up thanks to her burning red face— she averted her eyes from looking away from Maiko's tits and cough in one hand, "I guessed you can say that but I'm here to talk to you about —you know! Monsters?"

"Sure, sure! I'll whip you up some grub for you and your Cat! The usual?"

"Again not a Cat…" Morgana muttered as he was watching Television on Maiko's Flat screen plasma TV on the Couch. He's not even sure if the hot lady could hear him but he's not even in a mood to think about it.

Futaba thought about it before nodding as she cleans the lens of her glasses with a cloth, "Well I am famished so, um, yes please!"

"Great! I'll be at the Kitchen~" Maiko gleefully head to the kitchen.

Opera House

Claymore Opera Theater

Kamui Sato walked up stage of the empty deserted Theater she looked both ways with her hands on her tan coat pockets she wore a simple dark blue dress underneath her trench coat. She's been given clearance from Lieutenant Kim to investigate the crime scene. Normally Kamui would have sought permission from Sae Niijama, however, the Chief of Police's attention is needed elsewhere.

But on the positive side; the young detective finally got the permit to go to the very place that started it all. Sato Kamui pulled out a neckless from her coat pocket, held up to her face for her sharp eye to notice something about the red diamond—it had the same six eye markings inside the small rock.

How many artifacts that she and Goro have right now…? Two. The golden piece is in a safe at HQ, she'll have to place the neckless along with its cousin after she can go back to HQ.

The fairly attractive blond girl's senses finally told her that she is not alone in the Theater.

"Humph. You're finally back Goro-kun," She spoke up as she put back the neckless into her coat pocket and turned her attention to the empty seats.

"You knew I was here this whole time?" Goro walked up to the front row seats.

"Yeah well, you could have called me about your returned from your assignment," she pouted.

"Right, my apologies," Goro made an apologetic smile as he scratches the back of his head, "I was really busy working from my Father!"

Kamui laughed, "Speaking of your evil dad- have you heard any news yet?"

"Yes, I have," Goro said cheerfully.

Kamui was surprised by his answer, she was half expecting her partner to not get anywhere for their case, during his mission from his ever so rich father, but somehow he did.

"You?" Kamui said with wide eyes.

"It wasn't easy but I did manage to find something in regards to 'Grima' & the Fell Triad's motives," Goro pulled out a notebook from his gray suit pocket, "I've already written out a summery when I was at the Palace."

"Okay let's heard then!" She exclaimed as she claps her hands together.

"Right… now, where do I start…? Oh! Remember last time when I told you that I spotted a short-haired woman in a red cloak at this very theater?" Goro asked.

"Hmmm, I've to recall you mentioning it to me about her, yeah."

"I've learned that the Fell Triad are deeply linked to her and to make matters worse she had corrupted all the senior leaders."

The blond gasped, "All of them?" she blurted out.

"Yeah," Goro frowned, "Sadly the minor members could ascend to madness and they become puppets if they are not careful."

Kamui took a moment to ponder what she had just learned—this remembering the young detective of her confrontation with Erken and what he said to her before he blew himself up just an attempt to kill her.

"This woman happens to be the High Priestess?"

Goro blinked in surprise, "Yeah, um, how did you know?"

"Erken mention to me about this person before I was going to tell you and the Chief but… you know the federal government threating to close down our case." She shrugged.

Goro chuckled, "Well we wouldn't want that."

"I don't think its funny Goro-kun, lives are at stake here! The Government thought its best to cancel the work we had done—oh no, they don't want to waste any more Taxpayers money! Great, now I'm ranting like my boss…"

"It could be the reason why Sae-san hired you," Goro said.

"Oh shut up," Kamui retorted, her amused expression ever so present and begin to pace back and forth, "Alright back on topic; I have a hunch that this High Priestess will be our suspect for this case. Is behind all this distortion we are getting recently."

"Do you think the High Priestess has something to do with the Mass disappearance?" Goro inquired, even though the answer could be overused.

"Without question… I think," The Blond didn't stop pacing as she thinks, "I'm not sure yet but the pieces are coming together—"

"KEYYAAA!"

{Play Persona 5 OST - Will Power}

Kamui snapped out of her thoughts as she looked up to the source of the voice—a half-naked skinny wild man, wearing a green toga and a ragged old bag for a mask as he descended down on the stage. The detective noted the assailant wielding a large steel axe as he held it vertically, well intent to chop Kamui in half.

Rather than pay attention to her partners cries she acted on instinct and side jumped to her right, avoiding the assailant's attack.

She pulled out her gun from her coat pocket and aimed it at the man, "Freeze!" Goro ran up on stage and pointed his weapon at the assailant as well.

The half-naked wild man's lifted up his axe, it left a hole on the stage floor, and slowly turned his head at the girl in question. The mask design matches the six eyes symbols, that Kamui and Goro had seen before during missions.

"Drop your weapon!"

Kam's words fall on deft ears as the assailant scream towards her. She fired her bullet to the left shoulder but it did nothing to lose is grip—she doge rolled to her right avoiding the attacker's axe swing and sprinted for a moment then turned her heel to the attacker. Kam was about to point her gun but the attacker quickly knocked out her gun off her hands.

For a split secant, Kam's gaze followed her gun landing on the front row of the seats. She cursed under her breath as she ducked from the swinging axe and swipe-kick his feet thus tripping him and dropped his axe.

The opponent backflips away from the girl, forgetting about his axe, but failed to notice Goro whacking him with his pistol from behind. The opponent stumbled forward—Kam sprinted and leap toward the assailant. Time seems to slow down as Kam spun to do a powerful round kick to the head, knocking him sideways and falling down to the floor.

Kamui Sato and Goro watch as the masked assailant struggled to get up before falling back.

{Stop Persona 5 OST - Will Power}

"Goro?"

The Burnett detective snapped out of his thoughts, "Y-Yes?"

"Who is that?"

"I'd don't know," Goro coughed in one hand, "I'll check him out."

Kamui shrugged, she glances to her right, "I'm going to take a look of that axe over there."

Goro nodded to her before walking up to the seemly unconscious man. He kneed down to examine the bullet wound in the shoulder— he presses his gloved finger through the clean hole once it's done he rubbed the black ashes with his fingers.

"There's no blood but black ash? This person is-!"

He took off the mask from the assailant's head and took a snapshot from the phone for ID.

"Just as I thought; a dead husk of a follower converted into a shadow…" He muttered with a blank expression and stood up.

"HEY, Goro-kun cheek me out, I'm an axe wielder!" Kamui exclaimed, holding it like a staff in a role play.

Goro sweat drop as he put on a cheery smile, "Um, you almost got killed today."

"Well, yeah. But look at though is taller than me, and I think we found ourselves clue!" The axe itself looked something strait out of a medieval century, it was chrome steel in color with a European dragon design.

Kam's cheerful expression turned to shock when she saw the half-naked individual's body warp up like a rag-doll, behind Goro. Eyes are the plan as white, hands darken into long purple claws and rose them to slash down on her partner.

"Goro, look out!" She shouted. Goro turned on his heel only for him to catch the attacker's both hands.

Kam watch them struggled before remembering, "Hang on, I'll get my gun!" she dropped the tall heavy steel axe and jumped and landed down from the stage.

"Take your time!" Goro gritted his teeth while holding on to the claws. The male's face burned into a mask, which confirmed him to be a Shadow. He finally force the Shadow off of him and pointed his gun.

*Bang! *Bang! *Bang!

The Shadow charged at Goro but was put down by his bullets and fell backwards but this time the Shadow had evaporated in black vaper. As it floated up the vaper turned into what it appeared to be a dark cloud in a shape of a horned monster with six glowing eyes.

Goro looked up at it with interest—his Partner walked up to him, with her gun in hand, as she looked up as well. They both heard a roar before the black cloud vanishes into nothing.

"What heck was that we just saw?" Kamui looked at her partner.

"I believe I've seen a sculpture of it before while I was working for my father," Goro said.

"Sculptures. Interesting," Kamui took a deep breath, "Anyway who ever that tried to attack us is no human. I'll have to notify Kim since Sae-Sama is busy right now- On secant thought, I'll just find a way to Sae-Sama."

Goro raised his brow, "Something the matter with the Lieutenant?"

"I don't trust Kim," Kamui said bluntly, "So far I've been getting nothing but bad vibes about him!"

"I see…" Goro said and pondered before speaking, "Well we do need to bring weapon to HQ and see what sort of reaction the Lieutenant would make."

"OR we should call for back up since you never know if someone else is lurking in the shadows of this opera," Kamui smiled, "Besides carrying an axe in public would seem a little awkward don't you think?" she tossed her communicator to him

Goro caught it, "Right, good point." He said as he was radioing for the police from outside the opera.

Maiko's Condo

Living Room

{Play Bayonetta OST - Enzo and Drive}

Maiko and Futaba dined at the dinner table enjoying their cup of noodles while Morgana looked to the glass window.

The blue eyed black Cat was admiring the view of Tokyo Tower from miles away, from the expensive couch. It makes him kinda jelesu that Futaba-chan has a boss is rich enough to live in a Condo.

"I wonder how much Mola Maiko-Chan will give Futaba-chan? I woundn't mind living in a place like this," Morgana thought as he steached out his cat limbs and hop down from the couch to joined up with the two women.

During that time Futaba had informed Maiko on what she had told Akira & Morgana before but added that she had encountered two new Mirage Masters, including Moza Yuzu.

"Moza?" Maiko tilted her head, "are you sure?"

Futaba finished up her cup and nodded to the older woman, "Yup. Funny enough I didn't expect her to be a Master, she and her Merc buddy even helped us out."

"Well, I can't say I'm surprised, pretty exciting actually. My Best friend a Mirage Master!" Maiko made a toothy-grinned.

Futaba couldn't help but snort, "Keeping secrets are we? I thought you might be disappointed to know that your best friend is a Mirage Master & a Merc."

Maiko laughed, "I suspected something about her the moment I heard she came back to Japan from. I didn't know that she is a Mirage Master until you told me."

"Oh! Of course, happy to be of service ma am~" Futaba smiled and saluted to her boss, "But we don't know if she's good or bad."

"I'll ask Sae, see if she knows anything, it's the least I can do." Maiko offered.

Futaba slightly was taken aback by the offer as she felt cold sweet, "Thank you Maiko-san but… um, are you sure Mrs. Chief of Police is hundred percent on board with you? She'll suspect something about an Inquiry about a Mercenary like Moza-San."

Maiko laughed, "I've talked to her this morning regarding our upcoming meeting at the Tokyo Dome tomorrow—actually I think it's a good time and place to add Moza to the Topic!" She exclaimed.

"A Meeting?" Futaba stammered for a moment before taking a breath, "Sorry I'm just paranoid about the police, considering—well you know!"

Maiko made an apologetic smile, "Of course sweetie, I understand. I won't tell Sae about— our secret."

"Thanks but, t-that's not what I meant," Futaba's face was red, "Yesterday Akira-Kun was dating this girl at some Mall," The orange haired girl grab her phone on the table and scroll down the photo app until she found what she was looking for and slides her phone to her boss. The photo of Ann, Ryuji, Akria and the new blond girl to her boss.

"I've bumped into her, back when I was at the Daitama event for that interview, I think it's the same girl."

Puzzled, Maiko picked up Futaba's phone to look at the photo in question, on the screen and sure enough, Futaba's friends are at the Mall yesterday and with—

"Hmm," Maiko hummed, "That's Kamui… Detective Kamui."

Both Morgana and Futaba made a comedic shock expression.

"What, how did you know?" The blue-eyed cat blurted out he was listing to the conversation between Futaba-chan and Maiko-chan.

Maiko handed the phone back to Futaba, "I first meet her at Daitama office; we shake hands, informed me of her role as Detective and asked me a question before thanking me for the time spent. Apparently, she was commission by Sae to solve the mystery of the Mass Disappearance," Maiko said. The Female CEO wasn't all that surprised that she can hear the Cat talk to her since Kiria & Futaba had informed her about it. Plus when she first meet Futaba-Chan's friends she could hear Morgana's funny remarks during the time.

"The Mass Disappearance…?" Futaba began to laugh heartily, "You know it's funny I was going to say 'I KNEW IT' but then I remembered that incident last week—oops, I mean last month!"

Morgana shook his head at disapproval, "Really Futaba-Chan? Really?" He then snickered.

"Hey, shut up," Futaba pouted, "I tend to forget about those things."

"Sure…"

"Plus I think Operas are boring!"

"Uh huh, the old 'video games beats going on an outing' mentality?" The blue-eyed black cat raised a brow.

"Now your acting like Fae-Chan…" Futaba rolled her eyes, "At least I like to spend my time with you."

"Well, I wish I can spend time with Ninian-Chan & Tharja-Chan right now," Muttered Morgana.

Maiko giggled, at the conversation between her employee and her Cat, she coughed in one hand "ANYWAY, if you're still not okay with me mentioning Moza about Sae…" with a sly smile.

Futaba blinked, "Its okay, Maiko-san you can tell her," she proudly bowed, "Besides I can always 'find some dirt' about Moza Yuzu in a matter of hours or a day," She smirked.

Maiko adjusted her glasses, "Of course, I wouldn't mind some of her secret myself," Maiko smirked as well.

"Sure, I'll even e-mail you after I'm done!" Futaba laughed.

~Ring Tone~

"Hm?" Futaba looked at her phone screen, "Oh great I got a Topic Message from the guys, unsurprisingly."

Maiko stretched her arms, "Well, if you need me I'll be at my office desk, almost done with the paperwork anyway." The Director smiled.

The young assistant Idol nodded to her boss.

[Topic Message]

Ann Takamiki: I've heard what happen! Are you okay?

Futaba Sakura: Other than somehow being partnered to a Mirage, yeah I'm fine.

Ann Takamiki: Well… I'm still glad you have a sense of humor. ^^;

Futaba Sakura: Seriously, I'm fine. _

Ann Takamiki: Of course I knew that I'm just glad that you're okay haha! Anyway, you and Mona-Chan staying at Mrs. Maiko's place right?

Futaba Sakura: I haven't asked her yet and don't you think just because I got pulled from my room to the Idolaspear doesn't mean I don't want to go back home. Besides I still haven't played that Day One Smashers DLC yet.

Ann Takamiki: You mean Mrs. Maiko doesn't have video games at her Condo?

Futaba Sakura: No… but Maiko-sans' place is so lit though… Like I stepped into the future of household technology. I don't think I want to leave ether after this weekends. DX

Ann Takamiki: I remembered you saying that before at the Café yesterday.

Futaba Sakura: And It still holds true. You know what I think I'll bug my dancing instructor 'The great Barry Goodman' if I can borrow his system, Akira said he was going to pick up my games and my bag place anyway(I haven't unpacked since my Yokohama trip).

Ann Takamiki: Oh so you're all set then?

Futaba Sakura: Yep, even Sojiro was okay with it but I think he wants responsible Adult that he can trust to keep a sharp eye on me.

Ann Takamiki: Really?

Futaba Sakura: According to him during the early days Maiko Shimazaki use to be one of his best customers' apparently.

Ann Takamiki: Wasn't she a Fashion Model during the Golden Playhouse era? 0_o

Futaba Sakura: Yeah but he said it's a long story or whatever.

Ann Takamiki: Well this put's Ryuji's theory about Maiko into question right now.

Futaba Sakura: LOL Indeed.

Ann Takamiki: Well I'm not going to hold you up but I'm glad that things are A-Okay with you.

Futaba Sakura: Thanks for checking up, I'm sure Tsubasa-chan is okay.

Ann Takamiki: Yup! I'm over at Haru's place right now. Haru, Mako, and Tsubasa are watching a movie, I'm in the kitchen. Tsubasa-Chan told me to tell you to say 'Hi to Kiria for her'!

Futaba Sakura: I will thanks, Ann!

[Topic Message End]

Futaba took a deep breath after she was done with her phone messaging.

"Are we there yet?"

The oranges haired girl jumped at Morgan's sudden voice in her head then sighed, "NO," She said bluntly.

For some weird reason, Futaba & Morgana can see Morgan in a thought cloud bubble.

"Hmmm I thought you going to take me to this 'Bloom Palace'," Morgan yawned.

"The gates closed for today, Morgan."

"Oh… In that case, I'll go back to sleep then, Nighty Night."

"It's the afternoon," Futaba narrowed her eyes.

"Yup! And all that fighting makes me sleepy— a cool place you have there did you move or something?"

"No this is not my Condo but I am staying here for a week. It's for business reasons in case you're wondering."

"Oh right, you're an Idol! It's for that Stage Show right?"

Futaba sighed, "Yeah… you know Morgan you shouldn't use too many spells at each fight we encountered."

"I'll keep that in mind, it's just that it has been a while since I was free from that cursed I feel like celebrating with magic and what a perfect way to do it in a demon battle. You know?" Morgan yawned again.

"Um. I understand but with Tiki-Chan I'm sure she'll make you stronger."

"And you."

"Right, me as in both of us," Futaba laughed heartily.

"Wow you were not kidding about this Mirage chick of yours," Morgana committed.

"Hey isn't that a Shadow? It looks like a—"

"I prefer you not call me a Cat ma am."

Morgan burst out laughing, "Duly noted! Whats your name anyway?"

"That's Morgana," Futaba gestured to the cat.

Morgan giggled, "Hey that's my name but only girly for a dud! Hello Morgana, I'm Morgan!"

"I'm well aware of the irony, it's actually really hilarious. Anyway, it's nice to meet you Morgan-Chan."

"Likewise *Yawns* I'm really am tired I'll think I'll save the introductions for tomorrow when we show up at the Bloom Palace."

"Get well-rested then!" Futaba said.

"I will, Nighty Night!"

With that Morgana & Futaba's thought bubble disappeared.

"SOOO, I couldn't help but overhear that you are wanting to stay here for a week!"

The fifteen-year-old girl jumped, "H-how did you—wait," she slapped her forehead and grunted.

"Don't you think I couldn't overhear you talking over there~" Maiko laugh from her desk.

Futaba's brows frowned as she looked down to her knees, "This is an important week after all, for Kiria. I… don't want her or anyone disappearing like what happen in that Opera, worst case scenario; Kiria might disappear."

Maiko's expression begins to harden, she rested her elbows on her desk and lance her fingers together, "Let's hope it never happens," She nodded to her.

Futaba twiddled her fingers while she gave her boss a pleading expression, "Plus your pad is really cool place to hang out better to save the day in style right? Right? Pretty please? It's only for a week and besides, I've talked to Soijro about it before coming here! He's on board with it as long as if you approve of it."

Morgana looked at the eyed sparkling bespectacled girl with a Deadpan look in his face.

"No."

"What?"

"Just kidding! Of course, you're always welcome here~" Maiko said cheerfully.

"Really, Maiko-San, you almost gave me a heart attack!" Futaba exclaimed, "But thank you, you won't regret this!" she stood up and bowed.

"No problem, I do need an extra set of hands close by for the week!" Maiko chirped.

The fifteen-year-old girl nodded eagerly. The past few days have been overwhelming for her, relating to the Idolaspear she needs to be with someone who at least understands that world & its Demons better then she could so that they could be prepared for anything. The Tokyo Dome is also the biggest break for Kiria but also posed the greatest security risk, it might not just be a hot spot for Mirage attacks as it might involve jerks with a gun or worse a terrorist attack. If Sae Niijima of the Police force is in charge of Tokyo Dome security then that means that Futaba has to be at her very best and play her role as Kiria's personal assistant.

Futaba wants to protect everyone she cares about, including Kiria, Maiko and even Barry.

Opera House

Claymore Opera Theater

Hours had passed since the Swat team, the inspectors & Photographers had arrived at the area.

"So this is the weapon?" One of the inspectors held up the axe while the other was taking a photo of the weapon.

"Yeah, but the attacker is gone," Kaumi Sato said with Goro Akechi at her side.

"It must have been one of those Fell Triad guys," The Inspector said, "Anyway I'm glad you kids are okay, these guys are out of control…"

"Tell me about it," The blond girl laughed.

"What do you think it should be done with the organization?" Goro inquired to the adult.

"Perhaps a full-scale assault? I dunno, it's up to the Chief of Police," The adult shrugged.

Goro sighed, "Assuming that we know where their bases is located."

"Right," The man laughed, "Oh! Hey, Kim!"

Kamui and Goro turned around to see Lieutenant Kim walk up behind them, he bore a somewhat blank expression at the site of the two young detectives.

"Lieutenant, you're here!" Goro exclaimed.

"Um," Kim slightly stammered, "I was told of an emergency and rushed as soon as I can. I thought you two were hurt, glad that I was wrong," He smiled.

"Yeah we're okay sir, thanks," Kamui said with a sly smile on her face, "Hey! We found," she gestured to the inspectors examining the axe.

Kim stared at the weapon, his eyes were intense by just looking at it, and he gritted his teeth.

"You okay sir?" Goro asked.

Kim snapped out of his thoughts, and cough in one hand, "I'm fine," he made a smile at the kids again, "Do you know who wields it?"

"A half-naked gray guy, screaming like a maniac," Kamui said bluntly.

"I see… do you know where he is?" Kim loosens his tie.

"He got away," Goro said.

"Right…" Kim scratched the back of his head, "Well keep up the good work you kids, I got somewhere else to be."

"And where's that, if you don't mind me asking sir?" Kamui inquired.

"I'm not in liberties to discuss it," Kim said and quickly turned away, "You two should take a break for now, I'll take it from here."

"What about our case?" Kamui crossed her arms over her cheats.

"D-Don't worry I'll let you know when something comes up."

"Looking forward to it, sir" She rolled her eyes when he's not looking as he left the area.

"He's defiantly hiding something," Goro commented.

"You think? He did not even reassure my suspicion," Kamui grunted annoyed.

"Something is wrong with him…" Goro grimed.

Kamui looked at him, "What do mean?" she raised her brow.

"He could be under the influence of something else."

"Hmm." Kamui hummed as she put her hands on her hips, "Well I can tell you right now that I'm going to be keeping my eye on him."

Goro crosses his arms as he looked down on the carpet floor as he closes his eyes to ponder, before he opens them to face his partner, "Are you sure it's wise, Kamui? You almost got yourself hurt twice."

Kamui raised her brow at her partner which Goro began to stammer, he knows that look she's giving him.

He coughs in one hand, "It's not that I dought your skills it just that we clearly are dealing with forces beyond our control."

"By 'we' you meet only me, you seem to have an idea what we're facing here."

"You can thank my past experience, really," Goro Laughed heartily, "If I tell you the nature of it you probably think I'm crazy."

"I've seen crazier stuff then you have with your dad," Kamui scoffed.

The brown haired detective sweatdropped. He wasn't sure if his partner should dig too much into this matter with Lieutenant Kim, he had seen what is becoming of Kim's heart and the cause does not seems not to be an affiliate with the Shadows but from an unknown foreign entity.

Heaven forbid if Kamui end up getting caught by Kim if he's truly is dangerous now.

*Ring *Ring *Ring

"Ugh, what is it now…?" Kamui huffed and grab her phone, from her purse, "It's my dad, he's texting me a message."

Goro blinked in surprise, "What did it say?"

"So far He's telling me to 'be careful', and the usual blah, blah, blah," Kamui scrolled down the message, "Oh apparently Iffy wants to talk to us at fun house center."

"The Fun House Center?"

"You know, the place where my dad works. Come on let go."
