Chapter Twelve: Himuro Sensei's school days arc (Mission Impossible) I
The sky was clear blue, no signs of problems, curses or demons, nothing but peace.
Himuro Sat at the river a few feet across Majutsu High. At Eighteen, she was young and beautiful as ever with her short blue hair, striking blue eyes, young stylish stature in Majutsu uniform (a black top and black skirt). She was a first grade student, weilding the water/ice technique and having powerful understanding of it.
Then called one of her classmates, Takuma Hoshigane, a lightning techniqued sorceror. She had three other classmates which were also first grade sorcerors, there was Akira Tsugari, an air/wind techniqued sorceroress, Masaki Yukino, an earth techniqued sorceroress and Kaito Enzaki, a fire techniqued sorceror.
"Himuro!" he called
"Himuro, what are you doing here by the river all by yourself? Sensei Rikuya is looking for you, he says we have a mission" he asked.
"Nothing, I just thought of looking at the sweet flow of the river, i am a water/ice sorceress aren't I?" she replied.
"Oh, yes, I totally forgot he said scratching the back of his head.
"Well, if Sensei is calling us, then, I have no choice but to respond, let's go," she said rising from where she sat and wearing her shoes.
Takuma followed her and they headed straight for Majutsu High.
MAJUTSU HIGH
(INSIDE SENSEI RIKUYA'S DOJO)
They all sat knelt down in front of Sensei Rikuya
"I'm glad all of you are here," Sensei Rikuya said.
"I have a mission for the five of you," he continued
"I hope it's not like the one you made us babysit a bunch of naughty children with cursed energy?" Himuro asked.
"No, this one is similar to it but different," he replied
"I hope you know that the demon king is still nowhere to be found and he can come out any moment?" he added
"Yh we know," replied Misaki
"You've told us this like a thousand times," Kaito added.
"Yes, but this time, you must listen to me carefully, I heard from my higher ups that the demon king is after a boy called Shinji Watanabe,"
"And why is the demon king after a little boy?" asked Himuro
"I don't know, and also, he is not a little boy, he is an 18 year old boy like you," he answered
Himuro's eyes widened at those words
"The same age as me? Oh I hope he's cute and tall, and also muscular," thought Himuro.
"Himuro?, Himuro, Himuro focus!" yelled Sensei Rikuya
She jerked out of her imagination.
"Sorry Sensei," she apologized while Sensei Rikuya continued
"He lives in a hotel two blocks from here, and you must bring him here by all cost, even of it means kidnapping him,"
"Is he that Important to you?" asked Akira
"Not me, my higher ups," he responded
"Why?" Himuro further asked
"They say that the Redemption Council want him since they are work with the demons secretly and the government won't believe us of we tell them. They like that they are trying to reshape the world and make it a better place but I don't believe that. They have a bounty on him and it is currently at 10 million yen."
"That much for a boy, what a wastage of money," Himuro respondes
"That doesn't concern is, you just head to the hotel and retrieve the boy. Himuro, Takuma, I leave that task to the both of you. The rest, wait for them to get back before I tell you what to do,"
"Alright Sensei, come on Takuma, let's get going," replied Himuro as she stood up stretching and heading to the door.
Takuma followed her and so did the others, but only Takuma and Himuro headed for the hotel to retrieve the boy.
The Hotel (room 105)
They made it to the hotel and made their way to room 105, Shinji's room and we're shocked by what they saw. The room was in a mess, one of the couch upside down, the other in another place and the floor was filled with small bags of crispy chips and soda cans. Shinji was running here and there listening to loud music and dancing violently.
Takuma walked up to him and called out his name
"Hey, hey shinji,"
There was no response, this got Takuma annoyed.
"Hey Shinji!" he yelled delivering a big tap to the back of his head.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!" he exclaimed.
"What was that for and who are you two?" he asked turning off the music.
Himuro walked up to the capsized couch and flipped it over with one leg lying down comfortably on it. This suprised Shinji
"I'm Himuro Sae and this is Takuma Hoshigane, we are students of Majutsu High and we are here to retrieve you," replied Himuro eyes closed and arms crossed behind her head as she layed down.
"Retrieve me? What does that mean? Am i a parcel you can just barge in here to retrieve? And how did you turn that couch over with just one leg?" he asked
Himuro opened her eyes she had shut earlier and sat upright
She looked at him and was shocked to see who stood in front of her.
"Oh my gosh, he is so cute, very very cute, look at those eyes.....and those lips, they are so gorgeous, oh my God, how can a boy be so good looking? He looks like an angel," thought Himuro.
"Well Shinji," she muttered leaning on his shoulder.
"We are here to take you with us to Majutsu High, a school for sorcerors like me, don't forget, I'm your age mate, wanna be friends?" she added offering a hand.
"Huh, sure, why not?" shinji replied accepting the hand shake.
Takuma looked at the both of them as they exchanged glances and handshakes.
He scoffed and managed to get their attention and spoke.
"We have a place to go to," he said
"Where?" shinji asked
"I told you, Majutsu High," Himuro answered, walking towards the door with her eyes closed as usual.
Just as they were about to leave, a large burst of smoke bursted into the apartment covering everywhere. By the time the smoke was gone, shinji was gone.
"What was that?" Himuro asked.
"Shinji, he's gone," Takuma said.
"Where did he go?" he added.
"Not where did he go, who took him?" Himuro corrected.
"What do you mean?" he asked
"Look over there," Himuro replied, pointing to another hotel.
A man on a glider had him, he was gliding to the other hotel opposite the street, laughing sinisterly while shinji was unconscious on his shoulder.
"The Redemption Council, man I hate those people," muttered Takuma
"Well that makes the two of us," Himuro replied walking out of the hotel room, Takuma followed her.
Outside the Hotel
"Where do you think you are going?" a man in a wierd looking white and red costume muttered with a slight grin on his face.
He was holding a pair of Nunchucks
"You take care of this one, I'll go take care of the wierdo that took him," Takuma offered.
"No, I'll go get him, you take on this one," Himuro insisted.
Himuro walked casually across the street with her eyes closed, hands behind her back and head held high up as if going on a date.
"Hey boy, are we going to fight or are you going to keep looking at her like that," the man spoke.
"It's none of your business," he replied.
The battle began
ACROSS THE STREET
Himuro was on the phone with Takuma.
"Have you seen him?" Takuma inquired.
"No, the boy and the wierdo are nowhere to be found, it's like he turned invincible," she replied
"So, what are we going to tell Sensei Rikuya? He's not gonna like it,"
"Yeah, I know, who's gonna take the blam—,"
Before she could speak, a sharp blade headed her direction but she dodged it in a nick of time hitting a rock and exploding causing a loud noise.
"What was that Himuro?" Takuma asked
"It's him, I guess the rat came to the den of the tiger, I'll get back to you," she replied.
She hung up the call and focused on the man
"Did you just call me a rat, I'll make you pay," he yelled.
"Bring it on," Himuro muttered.
