Scrawl Banditta"Shh..." Chikage exhaled after it thought that the Chasers had already enough time to calm themselves. It was important to allow oneself some rest, but if it didn't pressed the important matters forward, they would ever get anywhere.
"Well, I guess it's time for some explanations now, isn't it?" Chikage said and then waited a few seconds before the Chasers turned their eyes and ears to it.
"Where should I begin then?" It said as it sat in one of the tables, "I guess the beginning is as good a point as any, isn't it? But first, let me undo a little misunderstanding." At Chikage's words tendrils of darkness extended from its feet, when they touched the two mysterious persons that had been laying on the sidelines until now, they were turned into amorphous blobs of shadow and them became a part of it again.
"My messengers can be a bit troublesome sometimes, please excuse them." It said before before cocking its head trying to sound cuter, "Anyway, let me say what I came here to say." Chikage said as it began telling its story.
A few minutes ago, at the City's old industrial district...
BMG: Tokyo Drift
Vrmm! Vrmm! Vrmm!
The maddening sound of revving engines, tires screeching and loud music amidst the rundown warehouses and crumbling buildings filled the gasoline smelling atmosphere of the Yellow Jackets not so secret hideout.
It didn't took long for it to arrive there from its music store, in fact it was just a matter of thinking about it and finding the most appropriate place to manifest its body. Usually it wouldn't involve itself on Chasers duty, but a strange sensation was assaulting its mind ever since it first knew about the Suzumebachi's gang new activities.
"Look what we have here, guys!" One of the gang members said and he saw it walking carelessly around their hideout.
"Are you lost, babe? Wanna me hide you back home?" Came another insult, however it wasn't here for this sort of thing tonight, it had a target in mind and any who tried to touch it against its will would never be able to sleep with the lights turned off again in their lives.
Soon enough it was in front of Suzumebachi, its target for tonight, in its wake lay a trail of shivering and mind broken gang members after it had shown them why do men fear the dark.
"What are you doing here? I thought you didn't involved yourself in these things, you stinky monster." The wasp-man said.
"Usually I wouldn't but two things made me come here tonight, first I want to know all that you know about the current underworld events."
"As if I would ever tell you anything! Just die!" Suzumebachi said before shifting into his hideous alternative form and trying to stab Chikage through the chest with his stinger, only to hit a wall of sticky shadows, that resembled a giant flypaper.
"Ah, but who said that I need your mouth to tell me? Because the second reason I came here is..."
Chikage finished the short interlude licking its fingers, no one of the Chasers was sure if she being serious or not, or well, no one other than Shiina and Ikkime, who knew that the being known as Akane Chikage once was one of the most feared predators of the deepest reaches of the Crimson Sky, no Youkai who came close to its lair ever came back again, thankfully its all in the past, as now it only fed on Strays, like the poor Suzumebachi.
"Either way, the thing is that a few weeks ago a man named Edward Harker, one of YTC's main Chasers approached them offering a huge amount of cash and other goods in exchange for their 'services'."
At the mention of Harker's name Ayato couldn't help but remember his days at YTC, as the only Chaser that was more dangerous than he there was Edward Harker, also, he's the only man that YTC still haven't sent to try and make he come back or kill him.
"Harker was part of a group formed by many individuals of great power, Chasers and Youkai alike that have a personal reason to target each and every individual here at this moment. The other individuals are still a mystery for me but they come from groups as distinct as the (presumed) destroyed Marionetteer Clan and the Church Inquisition. However it seems that they have found you before I did. Once again I apologize for not delivering this message earlier."
"Finally, my hunch is that all of this has to do with the upcoming lunar eclipse, because the stars will be aligned in a way that only happens every thousand years or so and on these occasions the veil between the worlds is completely torn apart for a few minutes. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think they might try some crazy stunt during that time."
"Now then, if you'll excuse me, I have already involved myself too much. If you have any more questions or Soul Stones to sell, come see me at my store. Ah, before I forget! Shiina, you can send tonight's expenses bill to me. Consider this a treat, everyone."
And with this Chikage strode out of the door and door and disappeared within the nearest shadow. Leaving the Chasers free to do whatever they decided, after all, it wasn't its problem any more as its was just a beholder and shouldn't get involved in the matters of either the Human World or the Crimson Sky.
"Well, I guess it's time for some explanations now, isn't it?" Chikage said and then waited a few seconds before the Chasers turned their eyes and ears to it.
