Last time Team Hanzo investigated one of Tokyo's docks as workers from it had been mysteriously disappearing. There they ran into Homura's Crimson Squad who were hired to protect the dock. The two teams battled one another, until the arrival of a Makamou family and the Oni Ibuki. Now the Shinobi girls wonder what exactly the Oni's history is.

Tsubasa let out a yawn as he wiped down the sushi bar in the Shinobi Room in Hanzo Academy. Last night had been more eventful then he expected what with Team Hanzo and their rivals getting involved with his fight against the Ittanmomen and its parents. "To think they all got caught in the center of my battle. I hoped to explain this to them when I felt ready, however they will now start investigating the Oni." Tsubasa thought to himself as his grip tightened on the towel he was using to wipe the counter down. Tsubasa sped up his cleaning unintentionally as he was lost in his thoughts and concerns for the future. "Tsubasa, are you okay?" Tsubasa's head snaps up as he locked eyes with Hibari, concern evident in her clover eyes.

Tsubasa remained silent for a moment, he didn't exactly know how he would answer that question considering the thoughts that currently plagued his mind. "I'm fine Hibari. Just didn't get much sleep last night, my cousin called me last night. Her baby had to be rushed to the hospital and she asked me to come for moral support." Tsubasa lied as he hoped the pinkette would buy his falsified story. The concern in Hibari's eyes only grew more intense at Tsubasa's explanation. "Oh no, is her baby alright?" Hibari asked her concern shifting to Tsubasa's "Cousin" and her "Baby" that got rushed to the hospital. "Considering she exploded into leaves along with her monster child at the docks, fine certainly isn't an accurate description." Tsubasa thought to himself as he was referring to the Makamou family.

"Everyone is fine Hibari, just a minor scare." Tsubasa explained as he gave the pink haired girl a reassuring smile. A look of relief spread across Hibari's face at that news. "So how did training go today? I missed it since I had to perform a grocery run on my way here." Tsubasa asked the pinkette with curiosity present in his tone. Before Hibari could answer, Yagyu entered the room followed by Ikaruga, Katsuragi, and Asuka. "Did you get more squid?" Yagyu asked in her usual stoic tone, giving Tsubasa a neutral look. Tsubasa smirked before opening the refrigerator revealing a container of squid. "It was on the top of my list." Tsubasa said simply before he finished wiping down the bar top. Tsubasa however noticed the concerned looks on Team Hanzo's faces.

            "Is something bothering all of you?" Tsubasa asked gently as he shot the girls a worried look. Ikaruga stepped forward as she cleared her throat. "We had a rather strange encounter on last night's mission. Strange monsters appeared attempting to feed us to a larger monster. Then a being referring to himself as an Oni arrived and helped us dispatch the monsters." Ikaruga explained in a serious tone as Tsubasa pretended to act shocked. Tsubasa knew the story already of course, he was present for it after all. "An Oni? How amusing, in my hometown Oni were revered as Guardian Spirits." Tsubasa explained as Yagyu shot him a suspicious look when he mentioned how his hometown viewed Oni.

"Have you encountered an Oni before then?" Yagyu asked in an accusatory tone, Tsubasa locking eyes with her in surprise. Before he could respond however, Katsuragi stood between them. "Would you give Tsubasa a break Yagyu? I doubt he knows anything about that Oni we encountered last night." Katsuragi said in a defensive tone, causing Yagyu to relent for the time being. Tsubasa then checked his wrist watch and his eyes widened in shock. Tsubasa folded the towel he had been using to wipe down the counter before putting it away in a cabinet. "I need to get going." Tsubasa stated simply as he walked out from behind the sushi bar. The Hanzo Girls all shot him a confused look, he never left early.

"Is something wrong Tsubasa?" Asuka asked her male friend, worry present in her voice. Tsubasa stopped and turned to face the Hanzo Girls. "No, I have a meeting at the Takeshi Organization. They want to do a monthly check in, considering I was stationed here by them." Tsubasa explained to the Hanzo girls in a casual tone. Team Hanzo's eyes widened in shock however at the mention of the Takeshi Organization. "You work for one of the biggest Record Labels in all of Japan?!" Katsuragi said in disbelief as anyone with even a small love of music knew the name Takeshi. That however wasn't all Takeshi was known for in the world of Shinobi. "They're also the number one distributor of tech to Shinobi, no wonder you ended up getting stationed here." Asuka said in disbelief at this information.

Tsubasa scratched the back of his head in slight embarrassment, but he also saw an opportunity. "If one of you would like to, you could accompany to the meeting. I'm sure the President would appreciate input from a Shinobi student directly on my performance." Tsubasa said calmly as he knew this could potentially give him a cover to hide his true identity just a little longer. "I'm down to go for the trip! Training's done and I've got nothing better going on!" Katsuragi said with a giggle as she walked up to Tsubasa before grabbing his arm and hugging it, her cleavage pressing against his arm. Tsubasa rolled his eyes at Katsuragi's antics before gently shaking her off him. "Meet me outside in ten minutes, it won't take long to reach the organization." Tsubasa said before he took his leave from the Shinobi Room, leaving behind a dumbfounded Katsuragi.

Back of Academy
Tsubasa looked up at the sky, feeling the gentle breeze pass over him, his mind calming down slightly feeling the wind. "Hey Tsubasa! I'm ready to go when you are!" Tsubasa turned to see Katsuragi running up to him, however she was not wearing her Hanzo Academy uniform. She wore a black tank top with a white crop top with an orange pattern on it over top. She wore a denim skirt with a large brown leather belt.

Katsuragi stopped in front of Tsubasa a flirtatious smirk on her face. "Like what you see handsome?" Katsuragi teased as she stretched slightly. Tsubasa rolled his eyes at Katsuragi's antics before tossing her a motorcycle helmet, which she clumsily caught. "What's this for?" Katsuragi asked as she shot Tsubasa an confused look. Tsubasa stepped aside, revealing his motorcycle, Tatsumaki.

"You own a motorcycle?" Katsuragi asked slightly surprised by this piece of information. Tsubasa slips his own motorcycle helmet on his head before climbing onto Tatsumaki before starting the engine. "You getting on?" Tsubasa asked as he turned to look at Katsuragi who quickly slipped the motorcycle helmet onto her head before climbing onto Tatsumaki behind Tsubasa. Katsuragi wrapped her arms around Tsubasa, pressing her body against his slightly. Tsubasa felt something rather soft press into his back, but he ignored it as he revved Tatsumaki's engine before pulling out of Hanzo Academy and into Tokyo properly. Tsubasa and Katsuragi rode down the street passing by office workers, teenagers enjoying the weekend, and shoppers as they made their way to the Takeshi Organization.

Hebijo Academy
At Hebijo Academy, Team Hebijo were seen in the school's Shinobi Room discussing what to do about their male classmate. "Look if he wants to be a damn sissy and give Susune Sensei the silent treatment, I don't see why it's our problem!" Ryoubi snapped in an annoyed tone, not really caring about their male classmate's sudden silence. Miyabi shot the sniper a stony glare at caused her to clam up for the time being. "Regardless of how you feel, he's apart of this team like the rest of us. We should at least try and be sympathetic to Ranto. Unlike us, he didn't choose this path." Miyabi stated calmly, yet firmly to the rest of her team. Imu and Murasaki nodded their heads in agreement, while Ryouna let a perverted smile spread across her face.

"I know! Just let him smack me around! That would help him relieve all that pent up anger he has!" Ryouna suggested excitedly as she started panting at the thought of being punished, a little drool leaking out the side of her mouth. Miyabi, Imu, and Murasaki all looked at her unamused by her suggestion while a vein popped on Ryoubi's forehead. "Would you shut up mutt! We don't need your damn horny comments!" Ryoubi shouted as she smacked her twin upside the back of her head, causing Ryouna to let out a moan of pleasure. The other three decided to ignore the twins and focus on the topic they gathered to discuss. "Ranto's scent has been sad this past week. He tried being happy during our movie marathon, but I could tell he was still upset." Murasaki explained meekly as she hugged her teddy bear, Bebeby close to her chest.

Imu grimaced at her little sister's words, while she and Ranto hadn't exactly gotten off on the best foot when they first met, she had grown to care about the guitar loving teen. "Maybe one of us should trying talking to him? Maybe let him vent about his frustrations? It could at least be a good start." Imu suggested as Miyabi took the idea into consideration. Team Hebijo's conversation was interrupted by the door to the Shinobi Room opening. The five Shinobi Girls turned towards the door, expecting Suzune Sensei to enter. Their eyes widened in surprise however when it was revealed to be Ranto. "The hell are you doing here jerk off?" Ryoubi sneered, earning a glare from Miyabi, Imu, and surprisingly Murasaki.

"Bite me cutting board, I'm only stopping in to grab something. Already told Suzune Sensei I'm heading into the city, so I won't be in your hair." Ranto stated in a slightly irritated tone as he walked into the Shinobi Room, going to grab what looked to be a CD of some kind. Ryoubi's gaze hardened as she was ready to respond with an insult for the cutting board comment Ranto made, but was stopped by Murasaki covering her mouth with her hand. "The city? Did a new album for one of your favorite bands release?" Miyabi asked giving her teammate a curious look. Ranto for his part simply waved Miyabi's words off as it was more important than that. Ranto walked back towards the door to the Shinobi Room.

"Nah, I'm heading to the Takeshi Organization. My old man used to work for them before his injury, they have me come in for a monthly check in. See how I'm doing here at Hebijo." Ranto explained as he was about yo take his leave. The girls of Team Hebijo looked at their male classmate, completely dumbfounded that he had connections to the Takeshi Organization. "You have connections to one of the most influential companies for distribution of support tech to Shinobi?" Miyabi asked her teammate both shocked and impressed. Ranto shrugged, he didn't see why it was that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. "Yeah well I need to get going. Don't want the Prez to chew me out for being late." Ranto stated flatly as he once again turned to leave.

Ranto however was stopped once again by Imu grabbing his arm, causing him to turn to face her. "Would it be acceptable if I accompanied you to this meeting?" Imu asked cautiously as she shot her male classmate an expectant stare. Ranto remained silent for a moment, contemplating the question before answering. "You know you won't be able to convince the Prez to become a benefactor of Hebijo right? He wants Takeshi to remain completely neutral." Ranto said firmly as Imu's eyes widened in surprise before she let out a giggle. "You misunderstand why I want to accompany you, I just wanna make sure you do not embellish the truth to much." Imu explained causing Ranto to let out a frustrated groan.

         "Alright, meet me outside in like twenty minutes." Ranto said in a defeated tone before he took his leave from the Shinobi Room. Once he was gone Imu turned to face the rest of her team. "How the hell does that jerk off have connections to the Takeshi Organization of all places?!" Ryoubi said in complete disbelief at the fact Ranto was linked to such an influential company in Japan. Imu adjusted her glasses, a serious look spreading across her face. "That's what I intend on finding out, Ranto is a member of our team and I'm worried about his recent outbursts. Hopefully the President of Takeshi can shed some light on the matter." Imu said before she took her leave as well, heading to her dorm room to get ready.

Outside
Ranto was standing near the tree line of the forest surrounding Hebijo Academy as he waited for Imu. "Sorry for the wait." Ranto turned to face Imu and his eyes widened in surprise. She was wearing a white shirt with a long green skirt, a faded pink jacket overtop of the shirt, a hat that matched the jacket, and a small white purse.

Ranto whistled as he looked Imu over briefly. "Guess I should've expected someone like you to get dolled up for this meeting. It's nice seeing you in something besides camo for once." Ranto said causing a bashful look to spread across Imu's face at the compliment. Imu let out an embarrassed cough before correcting her posture. "First impressions are important. I have money for the train, you don't have to worry about paying for my ticket." Imu explained as Ranto cocked his head to the side in confusion.

          "We're not taking the train, I'm driving us there." Ranto explained as it was Imu's turn to be taken aback by a piece of information. "You have a driver's license? No, scratch my previous question, you own a car?!" Imu said in disbelief as she didn't even have a driver's license despite being older then Ranto. Ranto gestured her to follow him into the forest. Imu followed behind her classmate and sure enough a silver and green SUV was parked in a small clearing connected to a pathway.

"Well here she is, not much but she gets the job done." Ranto said as he walked over to the passenger side door before opening it for Imu. Imu sat down in the passenger seat before Ranto closed the door and slid across the hood of Raijin before opening the driver side door and sitting down. "Alright, it should take us about a half an hour to get there, you can rifle through my CD collection and find some music you like." Ranto said as he gestured to a CD Case Holder at Imu's feet. Ranto started the engine before he hit the gas pedal as Raijin rolled forward beginning its journey down the dirt path.

Train
On a train heading into Tokyo, Akihito could be seen holding onto one of the rails used by standing passengers. He however was not alone as sitting in the seat in front of him, giving him an icy glare was Yumi. Instead of her Gessen uniform, Yumi was dressed in a dark gray dress, a light grey sweater jacket over top of it. A pair of black slippers adorned her feet, a blue scarf around her neck, and clutched in her hands was a small brown purse.

Akihito did his best to remain calm, however being in the presence of the ice Shinobi without her teammates made him nervous. "You didn't have to accompany to this meeting Yumi, it's just a routine monthly progress report." Akihito said gently as he hoped to break the tension between them. Yumi's glare grew more intense as Akihito shrunk under her icy gaze, not wanting to utter another word. "I wish to know why you were sent to work at Gessen. For someone with no Shinobi history in his family, it is strange you were authorized to do so." Yumi said coldly as Akihito let out a defeated sigh.

         "I suspected she would want answers, I fear at this rate she will never trust me." Akihito thought to himself, growing more concerned with each passing day. Akihito was about to simply go back to quietly waiting for the train to arrive at their stop. However when he quickly cast his gaze back to Yumi, he noticed she seemed slightly uncomfortable. Akihito followed Yumi's gaze and saw a group of high school boys leering at her from a set of seats. Akihito quickly positioned himself so he was blocking their view of Yumi. The high school boys shot Akihito a few nasty looks, but immediately shrunk in fear when he shot them a glare over his shoulder, a warning burning like a raging fire in his eyes. Yumi noticed this and was slightly surprised by Akihito's actions, but remained quiet.

Tokyo
Akihito and Yumi walked down the sidewalk in Tokyo's business district in relative silence. "The Takeshi Organization should just be around this corner." Akihito said as Yumi simply nodded her head in acknowledgement, still contemplating Akihito's actions back on the train. The duo rounded the corner and sure enough sitting there on the corner across the street was a large building with mostly glass windows. A large sign out front read "Takeshi Recording Organization" indicating this was the building they were looking for.

"Here we are. The President should be waiting for us inside." Akihito explained as he led Yumi across the street to the front of the building. As they approached the front door however Tsubasa and Katsuragi pulled into the parking lot on Tatsumaki. Tsubasa shut off the motorcycle's engine before removing his helmet and hanging it on the left handlebar. Katsuragi removed her helmet as well before hanging it on the right handlebar. The duo dismounted the motorcycle before approaching the front door, spotting Yumi's and Akihito.

        "Yumi? Why are you here?" Katsuragi asked, surprised to see the Gessen Elite Shinobi team leader here. "I could ask you the same thing Katsuragi." Yumi replied curtly, casting a suspicious glance towards Akihito. Tsubasa for his part gave his fellow Oni a supportive look. The engine of a car could be heard as everyone turned to see Raijin pull into the driveway as well. The doors to the car opened, Ranto and Imu exiting the vehicle, approaching the front door as well. "Yumi, Katsuragi? What business do you two have here?" Imu asked, suspicious as to why the other two Shinobi girls were present at the Takeshi Organization. Tsubasa, Ranto, and Akihito all exchanged looks, knowing this was going to potentially go south very quickly.

"Tsubasa is our team's caretaker, I decided to tag along to this monthly progress report thing." Katsuragi started as Yumi's eyes narrowed and she once again cast a suspicious look at Akihito who fidgeted around nervously. "Akihito was assigned as a caretaker at Gessen Academy, I wish to ask the company President as to why he was." Yumi said, her suspicious gaze never leaving Skihito. Imu took a moment to process the information she just received before adding her own input. "Ranto is a student alongside myself and the rest of Team Hebijo, his father worked for the Takeshi Organization before suffering an injury. He has come for a meeting with the president to check his progress at the academy." Imu added as Katsuragi looked over at Tsubasa in surprise.

Yumi however shot a glare at Akihito who shrunk in fear under her icy cold gaze. "So you have potentially been feeding information on us to other academies?" Yumi said in a frosty tone as Akihito shrunk further under the frigid gaze she cast in his direction. Ranto however stood in front of Akihito, shooting Yumi an electrifying glare that caused her to flinch slightly. "Lay off Ice Queen, Akihito, Tsubasa, and I all grew up in the same town. We've been friends since grade school, poor guy wouldn't dream of squealing about any of your secrets. Especially since I can't stand talking about my school life when we hangout." Ranto said with an electrifying bite in his tone, causing Yumi to take a step back from the teenager.

"I know Tsubasa wouldn't give out any secrets, the guy is to modest for his own good to be kissing and telling." Katsuragi said in a teasing tone as she gave Tsubasa a flirtatious smile, which earned her an eye roll from the calm teen. Imu looked over at Ranto, part of her wondering if he had given away anything about her and the rest of Team Hebijo. However she quickly shook that thought out of her head, she knew if Ranto had an issue with them, he would confront them rather then giving out information on them out of spite. "Perhaps we should head inside, I'm sure the President of the Takeshi Organization can shed some light on this rather odd predicament." Imu suggested as everyone nodded in agreement before turning towards the front door. Tsubasa, Ranto, and Akihito led the girls in through the front door. The three Shinobi girls however could not help but wonder just why this three teens were connected and why the Takeshi Organization seemed to orchestrate each of them entering their academies.
