CHAPTER 1: THE CEREMONY

One black car stops in front of one big traditional Japanese house. One young man with a long white hair in black outfit come out from the car and head to the entrance of the big house. A couple of people follow him from behind and they are also wearing black outfit. Then, one man in blue suit reaches the young man and says something. The young man nodded and walks slowly into the house.

Inside the house, a lot of people in black outfit are sitting in the big hall and at the front; there is a coffin with an old man picture on top of it. The young man reaches to the main stage where there is a microphone.

“Today is heartbreak to us, the best leader, and the one that we love and care so much, the one and only Mr.Enzai had gone forever. No one can ever replace his generosity and he will always be in our heart. To the rest of the members of Suit master Organization, I hope that we can continue his glory of bringing this organization to the top of the world. Thank you”, the young man finishes his speech and quickly rushes down the stage.

“Nice speech Yuuta. I hope that you can be just like Uncle Enzai. Brave and loyal. “A young blonde-hair woman says, smiling.

“Oh, Erica. Nice to meet you. When did you get back?” Yuuta greet her in half shock.

“Right after I’ve heard about Uncle Enzai death. I feel sorry for you too.”

“It’s okay. I know that someday he will leave us for sure but life must go on.”
“It’s really sound like you Yuuta.”She replies.

“Well. I advise you to go get a good rest after such a long trip. See you later.” Yuuta quickly leave the place before that young blonde-hair woman even speaks back.

“Mr Shibano Yuuta. We’ll see later.” Say Erica loudly. Yuuta stop for a second but he continues to walk to the entrance door without even looking back.

Everyone is looking at the situation and start whispering to each other.

“Who is that?” Ask a beard man in green suit to his friend.

“That’s Erica Winfrey. Mr.Shibano’s cousin.”The other man in green suit replies.

“Do you mean that is Ms Erica? Wow, she’s even prettier than what I’ve imagine but why they’re seem to be cold to each other?”Asked that beard man suspiciously.

“I’ve heard that Mr Yuuta doesn’t like her much and same as her.” Explain the other man.

At the same time in one class room at Kuroi High school. A boy with short, black hair is yawning at his place while the teacher is teaching in front. Right after he yawns, a chalk flying right to his face. The boy is shock and every student in the class stare at him.

“Kyomaru what are you doing? Feeling sleepy in my class? No one ever sleep in my class.”

“I’m so sorry Mr. Tanaka but...” another chalk flying right to his forehead sending him on the floor.

“I don’t want to hear any excuses. Mr Kyomaru Eiki, please stand outside until you feel fresh again.”Add Mr Tanaka without giving any chance for that Eiki to defend himself.

Eiki walks slowly to the door and a couple of students are teasing him.

“You shouldn’t drink too much sake Kyomaru..hehe.”Eiki just keep in silent and walks outside.

“Those who want to join Mr Kyomaru, you’re please to do so...”that fierce looking teacher peek sideways at him while saying to the rest of the class.

“Ringgggggggggg...” the school bell is ringing to show that the school’s ends. One girl with brown hair tie up in a pony tail ran outside quickly calling Eiki’s name but to found out that Eiki is gone.

“Where’s Eiki? Have you seen him Ayumi-san?” Ask that pony tail girl to the other girl who is tidy up her things into the beg.

“Well I’m sure he didn’t around anymore. What do you need from him Natsumi-san?”

“Today he supposes to clean up the black board. Arg ..What an irresponsible person he is.”

“You should know that better Natsumi-san. Anyway, have a nice time. Good bye. See you tomorrow.”She wave at her and walks away.

“Ayumi-san...””You’re going to pay for this Eiki.” Natsumi punch her hand into the other hand.

Outside school gate, Eiki talking to himself on how lucky he is for do not have to do the cleaning thing. When he is about to take a right turn, he is stop by three bald boy in school uniform. One of them is so huge that he can cover everyone behind him. The other one look so skinny as if he doesn’t have enough food and the last bald boy is their leader and also the shortest. Eiki is shock and try to run away but the biggest boy grabs his arm.

“Where are you going Kyomaru? Don’t you miss us?” the big boy says in a deep big voice and the other boys are laughing seeing Eiki struggle to escape from their friend’s hand.

“Please let me go. It’s not my fault. I’ll do everything that you want me to do,” Eiki begging for their mercy.

“Not your fault? Look what you’ve done to us,” said the shortest one while pointing at the bruises on his left cheek.

“My handsome face screw up because of you little boy and now you have to pay for these.”

Eiki look at the shortest boy and giggle right after he mentions about his handsome face. The other boy sees Eiki giggles and knock him on his head. Eiki hold his head in pain. The big boy throws him on the ground roughly.

“Enough. We’ll better make him feel sorry for his action.”
...............................................................................

“I’m back.”

“Welcome home. Eiki are you hungry? Oh my god. What happen to your face? Did anyone beat you? Who is that? I’ll make him feel sorry for beaten you up...” ask a medium size woman in late 30 suspiciously while examining the bruises on Eiki’s face.

“Stella ...,”says Eiki slowly.

“Tell me Eiki. You know how strong I’m. I’m going to...”

“Stella!” Eiki shout half screaming.

Stella staggered and stops talking.

“I’m okay Stella. Nobody’s beat me. I stumble down and hit my face on the ground. That’s it. I’m going to my room.” He says coldly while heading to the stairs.

“Are you sure you’re okay Eiki.”Stella asks and her voice sounds worry.

“Yup. Don’t worry Stella. By the way, where’s dad?”

“Mr Kyomaru? Where do you think he is right now Eiki,” asked Stella while pointing to the empty bottles of sake on the table.

“I’m understood. Well thank Stella.” Eiki wave his hand while climbing up the stairs.

“Eiki wait up. Natsumi give a call just now and say that you are going to pay for something tomorrow. That’s it I think.”Tell her while trying to remember more about that conversation.

Eiki freeze and shout back “Stella if Natsumi coming or calling, tell her that I’m not around. Thanks.”

He slams the door and throw is body on the bed. He touches the bruise on his face and scream in pain.

”Damn it.What a loser.” He says in his mind.

“You’re the loser.” A voice from nowhere suddenly heard.

Eiki stunned in shock try to find the source of the voice but find nothing.

“Who...who is that? Come out so I...I can kick your ass.” Eiki says in shivering voice. He grabs a baseball stick and ready in the position to hit in case somebody might come out.

“Your life is about to change and you must admit it. Good luck young boy.”The voice come again and disappears.

Eiki’s face turns to white when he find out that he was alone in the room. He quickly rushes out from the room and run down the stairs panicky. Stella who is cooking is shocked by Eiki’s reaction.

“Stella...Stella. There is a voice of a ghost in my bedroom.”He explains.

Stella looks at him with a weird look. “What ghost?”She asks.

“A voice of a ghost.” Explain Eiki still shivering.

“There’s no ghost on daylight Eiki. You must be dreaming.” She replies, half laugh.

“But...but....” Eiki try to convince her.

“I’ve got to go now Eiki. See that box,” She pointing at the box with sake bottles in it. “Send it to this address tonight. Don’t forget. I’ve got to go now. Tell your father when he gets up that I’m not coming tonight coz I’ve to send my daughter to the airport.”

“What? You’re going.”

“Not me. My daughter, Saya. She’s going to the States. I’ve told you before Eiki. Are you forgetting already? Okay see you later.”

Stella but there’s a gho...” Eiki tries to stop Stella while looking straight to his room but Stella seems not interested.

08:00 PM
SUIT MASTER HEADQUARTERS

A couple of men in green suit are setting up the tables and chair. Some of them are putting on food on the table. A couple of minutes later, a lot of men and women in blue, red, white and green suit arrive and they hurry to fill up the tables. One man in blue suit and wearing spectacles approach the microphone and start to talk.

“Thank you so much for coming and Mr Enzai must be very happy to see that everyone loves him...hehehe...To not wasting any more time, I would like to invite Mr Enzai’s only son Mr. Shibano Yuuta to gives his speech. He’s also got something very important to inform. Hope you’ll enjoy..hehehe,”

“Thank you Mr...Err...Mr Laughing I guess. I’ve got some important news to tell and I hope that it will not be such a great surprise to all of you.” Yuuta tidy up his sleeve before continue.

“As you see, my dad has died and leaves the position of the leader empty and I know that the rest here know how dangerous it is to leave this organization with no leader. Our enemy, the Vanisher had been spying on us all these time and these will be such a great opportunity for them to destroy us. And now I would like to hear your opinion on declaring me as the next leader of Suit Master Organization...tonight.”

Everyone seems to blow by Yuuta confession and start whispering. After a while, one man in a white suit is standing and gives his agreement. Then a couple more people in each suit are giving their agreement as well.

“Objection!” Erica appear from the crowd while rising her hand up. Everyone in the hall quickly turns their attention to her.

“Erica. What a shocked.” Yuuta say gruffly.

“This is ridiculous. You should know that Uncle Enzai had just died and it would be very improper if the ceremony will be held at the same time the funeral ceremony be held. You should know that better Yuuta.”She replies. Try to convince the audience.

“I’m so sorry Ms Erica but you’re not one of the members so this is none of your business. Do you mind?” Yuuta tries to get the attention back.

“I understand but as a family I hope all of you can give some of your respect to the late Mr Enzai.”She insists.

“Ms Erica. You doesn’t know how dangerous it would be if we delay the leader declaration..hehehe.” the host interrupt.

“But...,” as Erica is about to finish her sentence, they had been attacked by a bullets.

“The Vanisher.” One man in green suit screams loudly.

“Cover up Mr Yuuta. Take him to a safer place.” Order man in the blue suit who has been guarding Yuuta .

A dozen of people in black outfit rush in and start shooting at the suit people. Everyone try to get a cover while man and women in blue and red suit are fighting back fiercely.

At the same time, at Kyomaru Sake House, Eiki preparing his bicycle to deliver the sake. While cycling to the exact house, Eiki tries to remember back the incident that had happened to him that evening.

“I’m sure there is a voice. An old man voice.”

“Oh here it is.” Eiki stop in front of the big traditional Japanese house. He checks the address and nodded excitedly as he has found the house.

“What a big house. I hope one day I can leave in the big house like this...hehehe.”

He approaching the door and push the door bell but there’s no answer. He tries again but still no replies. He hears a loud noise from inside the house and makes his mind to go inside.

“Hello is there anybody here. I’m from Kyomaru Sake House. I’m delivering sake as you order.”He step in quietly try to search for any person from the house.
The noise is getting louder as he approaching the main door.

“I bet they are having a very good party in there. They are not going to hear me. Well, I better try the back door.” Eiki speak in his head.

As he arrives at the back door, Eiki knock the door a couple of time but still, there is no answer. As he is about to open the door, one man in weird outfit appears and ask him what he’s up to.

“I’m delivering sake...” He murmur.

“Well, here’s the money. Go away now.” That weird looking man chases Eiki away.

“What a rude behaviour.” Eiki murmur angrily.

Inside the house, the fight is still on. A couple of people are lying on the floor hurt. Yuuta is taking his cover and then he order one person to keep an eye on the black suit because it is the main objective of the Vanisher. One of the Vanisher members hears Yuuta and follows that man to the room where the black suit is keep. As the Vanisher member is about to knock the Suit Master member, he is attack first from behind.

“Watch out. Be careful.” Erica says while holding a broom stick.

That man nodded and quickly rushes to the room where the suit is keep. Erica follow from behind while guard the back. As that man opens the door, he is freeze in shock and call for Erica.

“What is going on?” Erica asks.

“Look. The black suit had gone.” That man pointing at the empty glass closet where the suit is keep.

Right after the news of the disappearing come across. All the Vanisher members rush out and escape into the darkness of the night. Yuuta who hears the news quickly rush to the room and he fell on his knee to find out the closet is empty.

“Call for everyone. The Black suit has to be finding tonight. Send some to tracking the Vanisher.” Yuuta gives the order.
...............................................................................

Eiki is cycling back to his home when something is following him. He arrives at home and it is almost midnight. Suddenly, there is a sound from behind. Eiki look back to find out it is only a cat. He quickly storm into the house and locks up the door and rush to his bedroom. He quickly changes his cloth and climbs up the bed and closes his eyes.

...............................................................................

“Eiki wake up. You’re going to be late to school. You didn’t want me to go up stairs.” Eiki wakes up by Stella loud voice.

He quickly runs into the bathroom. When he looks at the mirror, he freeze in shock to find out that the bruise on his face is gone.When he looks again in the mirror, he almost stumbles to the floor when he sees that he is wearing a suit. A black suit. He tries to take it off but the suit seems too stuck on his body.
