324 Gold Road (Rei no Kaado)

Kisa and Mamoru both looked panicked for a moment as Enjin moved the dagger away from Tsuki's throat. There was a measure of worried relief as he kicked her away. Mamoru moved forward and caught her as she stumbled, glaring at Enjin. The one in the main room glanced at the clock. Mamoru was pulling the umbrella closer with his foot and holding Tsuki tight. The position also had him directly in front of Kisa. The crying had abated just a bit, and she was watching the one closest to the door with his obvious knife with the most worry. Everyone heard the comments about the thoughts, but they were all more concerned about his next action.

None of them quite knew what to do with Enjin's side comment. Kisa had the most understanding, and it just made things worse. If the man could read thoughts, it explained things, but it made them worse. Mamoru just glared more at the comment, and Tsuki was looking down at Kisa. The teenager drew in a sharp breath as Enjin threatened to take her body and then left, the second simply vanishing.

The family didn't move for several minutes. Kisa was still crying, but it had dropped quite a bit when Enjin left. It was almost as if the three of them were afraid to breath. The blood at Tsuki's throat had welled up enough to allow a single drop to fall. Several tense moments went to a full minute or two, but it seemed the man was gone.

"Kisa.... what's been going on?" Mamoru said, loosening his grip on Tsuki and looking towards her. He was worried, but it sounded a bit harsh, "Who was that and do I have to worry about him attacking you or your mom again?"

Kisa looked away and wiped at her eyes, "I-I don't..."

"And who is Akina!"

"I don't know!" Kisa yelled back, a bit of anger behind her abating tears. Couldn't he be worried about her instead of this, "I promised... I promised I'd find him. I don't know why!"

"Mamoru-san..."

"Tsuki, no. For all I know that man could come back. Kisa, you will give me answers now!"

None of the three would know it, but Enjin was still outside the house. He was leaning up against the outside wall and continuing to observe things via Satellite. It was a bit of a drain on his power, but he was continuing to interfere with the area directly around the house. There was no need for someone to hear Mamoru's yells and decide to pay a visit because of it.

He smirked. If things worked out right, he could get this Kisa girl to deliver Akina directly to him. No more having to fight against all of Akina's little friends to get to him. No, he could finally get the body of a main branch Hiizumi the easy way. And the Kisa girl would be able to help the satori she didn't even remember, too. It was a win-win situation... for everyone except Akina, of course.

Kisa was getting to her feet as her father insisted on answers. As it was, she wanted to start crying again. They had just been attacked, an attack she had known had been coming but couldn't possibly give the details on, and her father was just chewing her out. All she wanted was a little bit of concern, and she was missing how much there actually was. She wiped her eyes.

"I-I've run into him once or twice before... he's threatened me. I don't know who Akina-san is, I just know that its important I find him," she shook her head, "I don't know why he wants to find him as well. I just know that there's something good about finding him. I... helping someone? I can't remember who Gin is..."

"Does this have to do with you showing up at the hospital? What have you been doing lately, Kisa!"

"I've just been... shopping and stuff! Nothing... nothing..." Kisa looked away. She couldn't just lie. She wiped her eyes again. Stupid tears wouldn't stop either.

"Kisa-chan... Honey, do you have a stalker besides him?"

Kisa blinked and looked up, "N-no, why would you say that...?"

Enjin smirked and stood back up again. And that was as much as he needed to hear. He already knew all about Kaiba and Kisa's relationship, and he could guess what would happen next. Shame, he'd expected things to get more heated. Well, things never were what they seemed to be.

He gave a visible wince as a wave of pain moved through his body. He'd been tuning things too much lately, and he wasn't as strong as Akina; he couldn't go as long without being realigned. He needed to do something about Gin's diminishing demon energy. Looked like it was time to linger around the ITS for a while again... He wasn't stupid enough to try going after the King of Bel for this. He'd heard that death threat before.
