“Eiki! Where are you?” Natsumi calls half shout while tip-toeing down the corridor.
“I must get him before they do. This must be something to do with the suit that Eiki’s be wearing.” Natsumi speaks to her selves.
AT THE SAME TIME
“You better disappear before this broom stick hit you old man.” Eiki warns the old man while chasing him around the school backyard. The old man tries to avoid himself from being hitting by Eiki. Eiki step onto something and stumble down on the ground. He quickly gets up and bow down to pick it up when suddenly, there is an arrow flying out from nowhere straight to where Eiki is standing. Eiki closes his eyes and when he opens his eyes, the arrow is already on the ground and he is unhurt. Then Natsumi arrives and see that Eiki is in great shock. She runs quickly to where Eiki is standing.
“Eiki are you alright? You look pale.” She puts her hands on Eiki’s forehead to check for his temperature. She gives a quick nod and guide Eiki to sit down.
“Thanks god I found you first. “ Natsumi sigh out in relieved.
Eiki give a look at Natsumi.” What are you doing here Natsumi?” Eiki asks suddenly and he looks around.” Ah...did you see that arrow? It coming straight to me likes this and ...” Eiki gives a long pause. His hand is in the air to show the direction of the arrow.
“See what?” Natsumi asks confusedly. “Eiki, I don’t know what you’re talking about but there is some more important things that I must tell you.” She added.
“What?” Eiki asks her back while he climbs back on his feet. He sweeps dirt from his trousers and look around again trying to spot for something and the he change his sight back to Natsumi.
“There are a couple of men in the suits that coming to get you.” She answers back while trying to stand up. And then she continues. “Have you borrow some money and did not pay it back Eiki. Or maybe you have taken something that belongs to other people.” Natsumi holds Eiki at the shoulders and shake it.
“If you really do then you better run now. They will arrive here in any minutes. I will help you out. I can stop them for a couple of minutes. It would be enough for you to get out from the scho...”
“I want to meet them.” Eiki intrudes. In his mind, he remembers back what the old spirit man had told him before about the Suit Master Organization.
“I will meet them and gets the answer.” He adds. Natsumi’s mouth wide opens to show how unreasonable Eiki’s decision is.
“Wait the minutes. Do you know what you are saying just now? That’s the craziest things that I’ve ever heard for today.” Natsumi shows the sign of unapproved to Eiki’s reactions.
“If you think that’s crazy. You better thinks again coz you will hear some more crazy things afterwards.” Eiki says and walks away to the school front.Natsumi are chasing after him tries to stop him from meeting those men in suit.
.................................................................................................................................................................
“I think he’s at the school backyard.” One of the men in the suit tells his friends. The other man gives a nod of approval and follows that first man to the school yard
“What we must do when we find that boy? “ The second man who is taller than the first man asks.
“Well you just wait and see coz I will settle everything’s up. I know this is your first time.” The first man replies back. His voice sounds cocky.
Not far from there, Eiki and Natsumi are walking down the corridor in the different direction when Eiki spots the two men in the suit walking towards them. Natsumi grabs Eiki’s arm to prevent him from running into those men. Eiki struggle to free his arm but Natsumi tighten her grabs on Eiki’s arm. She pulls Eiki to the side of the corridor; try to find for a place to hide.
What are you doing Natsumi, let me go” Eiki tries to free his arm again but it is useless.
“They are going to see you. Those guys who are gonna get you moron.” Natsumi insist.
“That’s what I wanna do. I must confront them. Let me go so I can settle this out. In fact, you’re really strong for a girl” Eiki says while brush his arm that being grab by Natsumi before. Natsumi gives him a mad look and pinch him at his arm. Eiki scream in pain that scream catch the men attention. The quickly rush to where Eiki and Natsumi are hiding.
“Who is that?” the first man asks. His voice sound shaking.
“Are you okay senpai?” the taller man asks the first man.
“Of course I’m okay. This is how we suppose to acts when we meet with a situation like this.” He gives the taller man a quick glance and continues.” You must watch very carefully. Watch and learn”. His voice doesn’t sound shaking anymore. He holding out his gun and pointing at the place that Eiki and Natsumi are hiding.
“Whoever is that? You better came...” Eiki jump out from behind the bushes without that man even finish his sentence. He is holding both his hand up in the air.
“I’m out...I’m out...Err...could you please put that dangerous things down. I’m not really comfortable with that thing. You know a phobia.” Eiki tries to gives a big smile.
“What the hell you thinking you’re doing. You are not supposed to be here. Now is assembly time.” His voice sounds more relax. He put back the gun into his suit and start to laugh in relieve.
“Eiki what are you doing?” Suddenly Natsumi shows up from behind the bushes. The first man looks suprise and then he smile.
“Oh... A young couple. I do have one before, at the high school.” He laughs litter louder this time. His friend doesn’t looks so happy with that situation and starts to talk.
“Err...senpai. I think you’re a little overreacting.”
“Who overreact? This is life. A man and a woman. Don’t you have such a memory before Kedo? I feel sorry for you.” He gives a sad expression to his friend.
“Well... It’s not that senpai. I’m talking about the black suit. I think that is the kid that we are searching for.” He is pointing at Eiki.
“What...Err...I know that already.” His face turns to red because of shame.
“Hey there...You can continue your conversation after this. What I want to know is, is it truth that this suit is belongs to you?” Eiki asks in anxious.
The taller man gives his attention back to Eiki.
“It is not belonging to me or senpai but it belongs to our leader.” He answers calmly.
“Is it a leader of suit Master Organization?” Eiki asks again. Both of the man looks surprised by Eiki question. They look at each other and then back at Eiki.
“You know about our organization. But how do you know?” They seem to be serious this time.
“I won’t tell you until I know everything.” Eiki sounds determine this time same as the two man. Natsumi is standing freeze. She seems lost in their conversation.
“Well, if that what you want then our leader will tell you everything but you must follow us first.” The taller man gives his final word.
“Well then, I’ll follow.” Eiki gives his permission. Natsumi which has been so quiet before burst out.
“What! You can follow them Eiki. You don’t know them. What if they are yakuza? You can never go back home. They will sell you and your organ at the night market.” Right after she finishes her sentence, everyone gives her disbelief looks.
“Yakuza did that?” one of the men asks curiously.
“Well, I watch it in the movie. By the way you still cannot follow them Eiki. I won’t allow that.” She finishes her last word and grabs Eiki by his arm once again.
“Natsumi, there’s something that I have to know and I have to know it now so that every strange things that had happen to me recently can be solved. You see it by yourselves Natsumi how I beat the bullies, don’t you? Please” Eiki try to convince her. She still holding Eiki’s arm.
“Don’t worries Miss? We won’t do any harm to Mr Kyomaru. Like he said, there’s something that must be settle up. Anyway to make you feel much better, we are not yakuza. We’re some kind of peacemaker. Our job is just like police. The conclusion is we are good people.” He puts his hand on Natsumi’s head and smile.
“Alright, I think everything is settled now. Let’s go back to headquarters.” The first man suddenly speaks up. Natsumi gives that man an annoying looks and she turns her sight back to Eiki. Slowly, she lets Eiki’s arm go. Then all of them make their way back to the school front yard.
Back at the school yard, it seems that all the man in the suit had already assemble back. Everyone is giving an unpleasant look at Eiki. Some of them are whispering to each other. Even the teachers are making their own meeting. The man in the blue suit that had giving a speech earlier is saying something to the principle and bow down a little. Mr Hakumi bows back and that men make his way back to the limousine. Then he turns back at the principle and bow again. Natsumi who has been freezing by that man action doesn’t look so happy. She suddenly speaks up before Eiki and the rest of the man getting into the car.
“Wait! Where are you going to bring Eiki?” She doesn’t look as unhappy as earlier but more determine. The man in the blue suit with a hat turns his view to Natsumi and smile.
“I’m suppose you’re a good friend of Mr Kyomaru. Don’t worry. We are going to our office and we will take a good care of your friend.” He ends his words with a smile.
Natsumi seems not very satisfied with his answer and speak back. “Well, if that’s so. Take me with you. I’ll go with him. Only than you can prove to me that you’re not some kind of yakuza.” Right after Natsumi finishes her sentence, every students start to whispering to each other. Eiki throw out a short sigh and walk straight to where Natsumi is standing. He holds Natsumi at her shoulders.
“Natsumi calm down. They had already told you before that they are not a yakuza. In fact, I don’t think that they are dangerous. Anyway, I need someone to cover up for me in case than I cannot make it home before lunch.” Natsumi doesn’t answers back. Eiki doesn’t wait long before he continues. “At least someone needs to explain it to Stella. Don’t you think so?” Eiki asks but again there is no reply from Natsumi. She just looks down.
“I think we better get going if you wish to have your lunch at home Mr Kyomaru.” One man in the suit suddenly interrupts. Eiki looks at him and gives a nod. The he looks back at Natsumi.
“Could you do me a favour? Please don’t tell Stella and my dad about this. Tell them anything but not this, okay. I count this on you. See you letter Natsumi.” Eiki gives a short wave at Natsumi and to the principle. The man in the blue suit bow once again before getting into the car. In just a minute, all the limousines are disappearing from the school ground. Everyone seems to be very confused about what had happen. Mr Hakumi who had realized about that situation quickly takes over the microphone and starts to talk.
“Don’t worry everyone. It is just a family matter. Let’s continue with our agenda today. First of all...bla bla bla...”
.........................................................................................................................................................
INSIDE THE LIMOUSINE
“You must be in great shock. Anyway I’m Seijiro Kenji, Blue suit assistant leader.” He holds out his right hands. Eiki give a look at Mr Seijiro catch his hand.
“Kyomaru Eiki.” Eiki introduce him selves back.
“Nice too meet you Mr Kyomaru.” He takes off his hat and put it on his lap and then continues, “You don’t need to worry Mr Kyomaru. We are not going to hurt you. Perhaps we just want to take back something that belongs to our organization. After that, you can leave in a normal life again. No more weird stuff and us.”
“I think Eiki sounds much better. That’s my name.” Eiki suddenly speaks up.
“Very well Mr...Err...Eiki. Then you call me Kenji. I don’t want to look old to you as well.” Both of them are laughing as the limousine takes them to the Suit Master Headquarters.
“Hey little boy.” A voice from nowhere abruptly caught Eiki’s attentions. He looks around and then throws his view to Mr Seijiro who has been talking on the phone, but then, the voice whisper again.
“On your left. Look on your left little boy.” Eiki looks on his left and see the old man face on the window. He gives Eiki a weird smile. Eiki almost shock but he covers it up.
“What do you want? He’s whispering back.
“Whatever happens, don’t lose your suit. If you give it away, then, I can say that you have done a terrible mistake. “He gives Eiki another perfect smile.
“Stop talking nonsense. I’m going to get rid of it no matter what it takes. Do you understand me?” he says confidently.
“Even if this will gives affect your family and friends?” That old man asks again. Eiki seems to lost his temper and punch the window to make the old man go. Mr Seijiro seems to realise what Eiki has been doing and asks,
“Are you okay Eiki?” he sound s worry but Eiki just nod and smile back.
“A mosquito.” Eiki suddenly speaks. Right after Eiki finishes his word, the car stop. From inside the car, Eiki can see that they are stopping in front of one big old style Japanese house.
“Alright Eiki here we are. Let’s go” he says excitedly. Eiki step outside and throw his view again to the house.
“I think I have seen this house before. It looks familiar.” Eiki says in his thought. As they arrive at the front door, Eiki then remember that the house was the same house he went before he get that weird suit.
“The party house. No wonder I’ve seen this before. What a genius...he he...” Eiki says excitedly. Everyone is looking at him as he smiling alone. Eiki realize that and stop smiling.
“Over here.” Mr Seijiro leads Eiki to the big door. He said something to the door keeper and the door keeper opens the door.
“What are you waiting for? Come on.” Mr Seijiro interrupts as he sees Eiki didn’t listen to his word. After entering the door, they walk through a long corridor. The path is covered by a red carpet and on both sides sits a dozen of beautiful and expensive vase and other ornaments.
“It’s bigger than what it looks like from the outside.” Eiki broke the silence. Everyone who has been escorting him gives their attention to Eiki. Eiki feels disturbs by their action he add, “Don’t you think so Mr Seijiro...err...I mean Kenji.” He smiles.
“That’s sound to me that you have been here before Eiki?” Mr Seijiro says calmly. Eiki looks at him and answers back,
“Well, I had sent some sake to this house many days ago but I never enter the house. Just from the outside. I just give my opinion if my question irritates you Kenji.” Eiki throw his view at the pictures that are hanging on the wall.
“This is our main headquarters. That is why it’s big. To make sure every member can fit in if there is some party in here. Do you think that make sense?” Mr Seijiro tries to get Eiki attentions back.
Eiki just gives him a look. Eiki crashes onto some back not realising that they had arrive at the other door but this time the door is guarding by a man in the red suit. He has a very fierce looks. Mr Seijiro whispers something to that man and he quickly disappear into the room leaving them standing outside the door. Mr Seijiro look back at Eiki and throw a quick smile at him. A minute later, the man in the red suit come out from the room. He nods a couple of time and held the door open so that they can walk in. Mr Seijiro gives Eiki a sign to follow him and they walk in the single file into the room. The room seem to be a little dull with the colour of the wall as well as the amount of light that entering the room. As the man in the red suit close the door, the room seem to be a little darker than before. It’s takes time for Eiki’s eyes to adjust for the dark surrounding. Right after his eyes completely get use to the dark condition, Eiki sees there is nothing in the room except a wooden table with some papers on it. There is also a chair that being face them backwards.
“Mr Yuuta, as you wish, here is the boy.” Mr Seijiro suddenly speaks up breaking up the silent. From behind the chair, Eiki can only see the hair and it was white in colour. Right after Mr Seijiro finishes his sentence, the chair turn around slowly revealing the person who has been sitting on it.
“Well well well, very nice to meet you Kyomaru Eiki.” A young man with a white hair greets Eiki with cunning like smile.
