"Kazu..? Hey.. Are you feeling alright?" That voice..
Kazuki was lying on a white hospital bed looking so weak. Broken arm, broken leg.
"A bit." he answered weakly.
"What do you last remember?" Amaya asked him while stroking his head.
"Taking something from the upper cabinet... then something hit the chair..."
"Something? Like what?" Narumi asked.
"A flying blade.. something like that." Kazuki said.
"Okay.. You rest properly Kazu." Amaya stood up looking kind of angry. "Narumi, look after him, okay?" She went out of the room.
***************************************
Knock knock. "Yes?" Amaya said. Narumi poked his head in the room. "Is everything alright? I mean.. Are you fine?"
Puzzled, Amaya asked, "What do you mean by that? And Kazu's ok, right?"
"He's fine. I mean you looked kind of angry when you walked out of the hospital room. Is everything fine?" Narumi worriedly asked.
Amaya took something on her study table. It was a small sharp blade made of metal.
"This thing cut through the chair." she explained.
"You're kidding right? That blade is so small!" Narumi said.
Amaya grabbed the blade and threw it at a wooden chair in the middle of the room. It sliced through the chair like slicing a piece of butter and hit the wall.
"See. This thing was threw on purpose by SOME one who wants to harm Kazu." Amaya said as she pulled out the blade stuck on the wall.
"Assasin?" he asked.
"Probably." she answered.
"You know who did this?" Narumi asked.
"No. But I suspect some one." Amaya said.
"By the way," Narumi added, "The guy you asked me to find out about in your class with the weird plaster uunder his eye-"
"Yes! What about him?" Amaya cut.
"Shiro Takeo. 15 years old. Orphan. Both parents died for an unknown reason when he was very young, like 6 years young. No contact number and no address." Narumi rushed in a huff.
"Shiro Takeo, huh?" Amaya said in deep thought.
*********************************************
Nightfall.
Amaya stood leaning on a cracked wall.
"7pm at the same place we met." read the note she found stuck to the broken chair.
"Amaya, I found out something." Narumi rushed to her room. "What?"
"Come." Narumi said. "Look." he pointed at the computer screen in his room.
There was an e-mail from an unknown mailer:
"Fast and steady
Carried by the wind
For as his name is
So it is when he comes."
Carried by the wind
For as his name is
So it is when he comes."
"Which means?" Narumi asked.
"Wait.. Fast and steady means this guy the person's talking about is very fast and never misses the point right?" Amaya said.
"I guess so.." the blur Narumi answer. "Carried by the wind?"
"Carried by the... WIND!!!" Amaya shouted. "That idiot! Kaze means wind in the Japanese language!"
"For as his name is so it is when he comes?" Narumi glanced over to Amaya. "Hey! Where did she go?" he heard the main door slammed.
For as his name is so it is when he comes. thought Amaya. His name is Kaze which means wind. I think it means that when he comes there will be a wind?
"Huh.. He said to never dare come back again." Amaya sighed. "But now he's asking me to come here. What's going on in that little brain of his?"
A small breeze came.
WHHOOOOSSSHHHH~~~~~~~~~~~ "Whoa!"
She dodged just as a giant boomerang crashed at the place she was just at.
"You dodged that one very nicely." A voice came from a corner. The area was misty so Amaya could'nt see very well but she could recognise the voice.
"Kaze." she said and turned to face the half masekd boy.
