18 Sowing Seeds

The night descended on the streets of Yokohama which in turn thinned out the traffic, but a select few took this opportunity to go out and socialize. No matter the year or the society there will always be bars and night clubs, whether they are legal or not depends on situation after all one needs to decompress somehow from a stressful day. The wind was blowing slightly and causing the leaves on the floor to sway and swirl around in the air, the voice of girl in her early twenties could be heard as she was walking by with a young man next to her. He had a smile plastered on his face, clearly pleased to be in the company of the young woman, soon two figures could be seen walking past them.

The girl saw the faces of the two individuals and soon a blush was adorned on her face, she quickly put her head down in order to hide her embarrassment while speeding up her pace. The young man next to her saw this and shot the two a look displeasure at they're back as they walked away, these reactions kept happening wherever the two went. One of the two individual was a tall handsome young man in his mid 20's with dark violet eyes long black hair tied in a ponytail, he was wearing a black fitted suit and black turtleneck shirt and shoes. The clothes clung to his body clearly highlighting his muscles, next to him was an equally handsome young man also in his twenties he had his long teal colored hair slicked back and tied in a ponytail by a gold band.

He wore a cream slim fit suit with a white shirt coupled with black shoes, wherever these two walked they became the center of attention. The one with the black suit had a stoic look on his face while his eyes shifted around observing his surrounding like a hawk, though he was eye catching no women dared approach him, and any men who had nefarious ideas quickly looked away the moment they made eye contact with him. While the other man had a easy going smile on his face and projected the nice guy vibe going for him, still with one glance anyone could tell that these two were not your average run of the mill guys hence gave up approaching them on they're own accord. So they did the next best thing, which is throwing seductive looks their hoping to catch they're attention but sadly it was all in vain as they walked by without even a second look at them.

Soon the two arrived in front of western looking building, in front of the building was a nicely decorated wood sign with the words Roter Wald written on it. After a few seconds the black dressed young man walked up to it and opened the door, inside was an elegant yet ancient look to it. The tables and chairs were made of pure wood just like the counter top was. If one had to describe the style it be German style restaurant, soon they were greeted by an elderly man who stood behind the counter with a smile on his face. the lights were slightly dimmed by the bar top, clearly to provide a perfect atmosphere for drinkers while the lights inside by the table were brightly lit. One could see a full house, people were laughing and having a good time with each other, some wore business suits others wore casual clothes it was a perfect mix.

The two walked up to the bar and sat down, the elderly man smile once more and took they're orders before walking away. "Urgh what a day, i swear i cannot wait until Tak takes over some of my responsibilities." The teal hair young man said in an exasperated manner which caused the other man to roll his eyes before responding in a teasing manner. "Yes me too, at least i will finally have a boss who takes things seriously". Those words caused a teasing rally between the two men, even when the old man placed their drinks in front of them they merely acknowledge it before continuing the war of words. Sadly the male in the cream suit was losing miserably to his companion, the old man had his back facing them but if one looked closely they would see his shoulders shake every so slightly every now and then and a smile was plastered on his face clearly he was enjoying their banter.

"Okay, okay i give. Please oh great one have mercy on my soul." After saying those words the young man sighed and rested his left elbow on the bar and leaned his left cheek on his fist before mumbling under his breath "Meanie Nobu constantly bullying me." A tick mark appeared on Nobuhiko's face as he clearly heard what he had just said, shaking his head he decided to ignore it after all if he answered him he would only end up arguing with him again. turning around Nobu kept his eyes on the 2 suspicious individuals he noticed awhile back both of them were women, they walked in different intervals and was briefly shocked after noticing each other. That told him that they were both from different factions yet were familiar with each other, at least were aware of the other's specialty.

One was sitting at the end of the bar on the far right by herself, she had long black hair that reached her hips and wore a mundane outfit yet she possesses a magnificent figure. She had a small amount of make up that covers her delicate facial features which would allow anyone to comfortably converse with her. As a matter of fact a few patrons made passes at her, but she politely rejected them while calmly sipping her drink. The other was on the left also sitting by herself, an attractive young woman with black bob haircut, she had a fairly broad-shouldered torso, yet maintained a very voluptuous and buxom figure, which was further accentuated by the fact that she was slightly shorter than most men present in the bar. She wore a black business suit with black pants and white shirt, like the other girl she attracted the attention of many men but rejected most all of them.

What attracted Nobuhiko's attention was not they're appearance but rather they're demeanor, you see it is fairly easy to determine who has received military training with a simple look when one has has also received such training himself. That and the subtle glances they were sending towards them, it wasn't the normal kind one would receive at a bar but one you get when a teacher is monitoring a class who was taking an exam. Seeing that this situation was not going anywhere Nobuhiko decided to break the norm and said. "Since the two of you have been keeping an eye on us for the majority of the night, why don't you just join us Ms Fujibayashi and Ms Tooyama."

At his words both women were shocked, they looked at him with both fear and surprise evident in their eyes. It was one thing to spot them but it was another to know who they were, True both families are somewhat famous since one is related to a member the ten master clans while the other belonged to the eighteen assistant families. Yet both ladies had they're identities altered since they were affiliated with classified units, Tooyama Tsukasa was a Sergeant who belonged to the National Defense Forces Intelligence Department. While Fujibayashi was part of the 101 Independent Magic-Equipped Battalion. When he saw they're reactions the young man in the cream suit smiled before saying

"What? you think that because you belong to some secret organization that we cannot find out about you? please do not be naive. We all know that your little ops weren't sanctioned by the higher-ups and it is clear that some old fogeys from your group got to curious for they're own good and decide to 'test' our loyalty, am i right? Well no matter but i do wonder what will happen if the information that a government agency and a military unit both running illegal operations gets out to the public. I mean after all we are loyal to our country and have sworn to protect them both from inside and outside threat, and denouncing a rouge unit of the military as well as a private agency who has betrayed the country they've sworn to protect would be classified as an act of heroism wouldn't you agree ladies?" Hearing his words Nobuhiko shook his head before taking a sip of his drink, while he was calm the two women were frozen in place.

Cold sweat ran down their backs soaking the shirts they were wearing. It was all true and they knew things would not end well for neither them or their superiors, Tooyama only started this mission because her superior was alerted after the Juumonji family accessed a secret server that was link to them in order to get some information about the Ichinose family, but sadly they had no data on them. Being curious bout why a member of the ten master clans would try and access information on a clan they have never heard of, he decide to investigate them secretly. Fujbayashi was also on same boat, Major Kazama was also alerted due to the inquiries made by the Juumonji family and they to got curious. But right now the only thing that came to mind was the famous saying 'Curiosity Kills The Cat'

"Oh where are my manners, my name is Teppei Ichinose Scion of the Ichinose family it's very nice to meet you lovely ladies tonight and over here we have Nobuhiko Chizaru my bodyguard and friend" said the young man in the cream suit with a smile on his face
