"WHY DO WE HAVE to capture her again?" Tetchou asks Fukuchi as he eats his hard boiled eggs with the shell still on.

"The government has ordered us. She has become a threat to this place." Fukuchi, their leader in hunting dogs, has said as he shows your pictures in the screen in front of them.

"She has been slicing a few places as well, another reason why the government find her as a threat." He added as he shows some slide with pictures of places that were slices.

Tetchou watches and studies every slide Fukuchi shows. You can tell that this wasn't just sliced by any ordinary swordsman. This was sliced by a skilled swordsman.

"Could this be done by a terrorist group? Why would they do such a mess." Jouno claimed as he also studies the pictures.

"And this is where we enter." After Fukuchi spoke, catching both Jouno and Tetchou's attention, he stood up. "I'll be dividing us into three teams in search for her. Tetchou and Jouno should go together, Tachihara and Teruko. I'll go on my own."

After Fukuchi has set the plans, everyone parted.

"Why did Fukuchi made us team together." Jouno complained and he didn't receive any replies. From the looks of it, Tetchou was quite serious about this mission.

Jouno sighed.

They were currently in front of a bath spring house.

From the pictures that Fukuchi jas shown them before, it was around here. So the terrorist would be near this area.

Jouno can even smell a faint of lightning.

Tetchou went inside the bath house, getting a surprise by an old lady when he entered.

"Well, hello there, gentlemen!" The old lady purred. "A towel for two?"

"Ah, no thank you. We are here for investigation." Jouno spoke as he enters the bath house. "As you heard from the news, there was someone here has been slicing the area around here." Jouno continued with a smile.

After talking, Tetchou showed a picture of you, that he got from Fukuchi before leaving, to the old lady.

The old lady took a little moments to think, trying to remember if you did entered the bath house. And then realization hits her.

"Yes! Yes, i know her. She's in the women's spring right now." The old lady said as she points the direction.

"Thank you." Tetchou said and put your picture back in his pockets. He draw out his sword and started running towards the women's spring area.

"Hey, wait! You can't go there! That's a woman's spring,  you idiot!" Jouno yelled at Tetchou as he kept saying sorry to the old lady, but he was completely ignored by him.

Tetchou entered the women's spring and was greeted by many women, naked.

"Ah! Pervert!"

The women inside started to scream and covered their body when they saw a man enetered the spring for women only.

They all started running away and left the bath house as Tetchou scans every woman who leaves, maybe he might see you in there.

He even got his head hit by a bucket.

As everyone left, there was only one left and that caught Tetchou's attention.

You were there, all wet and naked. Your hair barely covering your breast.

You were looking away from Tetchou so the only thing he could see was your back.

Tetchou held his sword tightly.

"We finally caught you, surrender now if you don't want things to get dirty." Tetchou says.

You slowly turned around.

Tetchou's whole face blushed when he saw your front view. It was his first time seeing a woman fully naked in front of him.

"Caught?" You asked confused. "I am merely taking a bath after getting my hands dirty."

Tetchou could not look at your face, instead he was staring at your cleavage. Especially when your nipples are barely covered by your hair.

"We . . . are not letting you go until you surrender yourself. " Tetchou said as he tries to control himself.

"Special ability: plum blossom in the snow!" Tetchou said as he uses his ability against you.

His sword slashes you.

"So you want to play it like that? Special ability:," you said as you positioned your hand in front of your cleavage. Suddenly, an eye appeared in your cleavage. "Eye of the stormy judgement!"

Tetchou watches you and how you used your special ability. The next thing he knew a strong lightning came down, he immediately covered his eyes to protect his eye from the flashed.

After the loud and shocking lightning, he looked. You were gone.

Incredible.

You pulled out a sword in your cleavage, then a lightning hits the place, and the next thing he knew is you were gone in his sight.
