Chapter Twenty-Nine: Master Plans:
Tatsumi eyed
Kaede skeptically. “Talk?”
“That’s right,”
Kaede said. She poured him a glass of beer.
“No thank you,”
he said.
She raised her
eyebrow. “You sure?”
“No thank you.”
“Alright.” She
pushed aside the glass.
“Why am I here?”
Tatsumi asked. Kaede flicked back her hair.
“I can’t let you
leave yet,” she said.
“And why is
that?”
“Orders.”
“Orders?”
“That’s right.
My boss had a guess that you would catch on.” Her lips curved into a cat-like
smile. “He loves how his game is unfolding.”
Tatsumi narrowed
his eyes. “What kind of game?” Her laughter sounded sweet like honey, but could
be fatal.
“He’s obsessed
again.” Kaede frowned. “I don’t know why myself. He won’t listen to our
arguments. Out master is impulsive like that. He means to have her too.”
“Wait… her?”
“Don’t you
know?” Kaede smiled and shook her head. “My, my, my, my.” She pulled out a
remote and turned on the TV. “Watch if you’re smart.” Tatsumi turned his head.

-Asmodeus-
It’s not ready
yet.
December 11th.
He smiled like a
jackal.
The harvest, oh
the harvest.
He could smell
her blood this time.
Last night, he
dreamt of her.
But, she’s been
tamed.
He doesn’t want
that.
This will not
do.
A spell of the
desired caliber takes patience.
He can wait.
That’s what he’s
done all along.
He’ll do it
again.
In fact…
He picked up his
phone.
One text later
and the trap was set.
He smiles and
calls up for drinks.

-Kato-
He can feel them
coming for him.
But he refuses
to go.
Not yet anyway.
His plan had
only started.
Already, he got
someone to join him.
They don’t see
it that way.
What does he
care?
Just as long as
they don’t get in his way.
He doubts that.
He can’t hide
forever.
He’s drawn too
much attention to himself.
Still, he won’t
let himself get caught.
He’ll turn
himself in, but not yet.
He had to see
how this would play out.
He has to move
away from his current location right now.
Just stopped two
hunters coming towards the net café.
Time to go.

Meanwhile on the playing field…
