Yami No Matsuei Fan Fiction ❯ Genie Magic ❯ Chapter 6 ( Chapter 6 )

Genie Magic 6

Author's Notes: Alright after the success *rolls eyes* of my first Yami no Matsuei story I decided to write another chapter story. Don't worry there will be no romance in this one, just a bunch of guys saving our butts and the entire planet from the Psycho Doctor. Anyways without further ado I do hope you actually enjoy this story.

Katana leaned against the hood of her car. Her eyes were protected from the sun's rays by a pair of sunglasses and she was holding her head as if she had a headache. Which is something she had; she always got a headache if she didn't get enough sleep the night before and since the girl, Hoshi, had died on her watch she owed it to the family to make a personal appearance at the girl's funeral. She looked up when another car pulled up beside hers and the two men that claimed to be from another jurisdiction that were helping her with the case; they weren't from the jurisdiction that they claimed to be from and she wondered what their game was. There was no time like the present to ask them.

"What game are you trying to play?" she asked, as they stepped out of the car.

"What do you mean?" asked Tsuzuki, blinking in confusion.

"I talked to a friend in the Kyoto branch and he said there was no one in that jurisdiction with the names Tsuzuki Asato and Kurosaki Hisoka," snapped Katana, ignoring the look of panic that had come across the older man's face. "So, tell me gentlemen I want to know what exactly you are trying to pull!"

Tsuzuki's mind went blank trying to think of a reason for them being here when Hisoka spoke up.

"Our sister was killed in much the same way," said Hisoka flatly, looking in Katana's eyes. "We have come to try and prevent it from happening again; unfortunately it would appear we have yet to successful."

"I should really have you both arrested for interfering with police work," said Katana flatly. "But, I won't. You two, despite the fact that you lied to me, have actually been of great help in attempting to solve this case. So, for the time being I won't arrest you unless you piss me off and then I am sending your asses straight to jail. Am I clear?"

"Of course," said Tsuzuki, cheerfully. "Let's go get some apple pie!"

"Its still morning!" snapped Katana.

"It is never too early for apple pie!" chirped Tsuzuki, heading towards a café across the street from the Police Department.

"Is he always like this?" asked Katana sweat dropping.

"No," said Hisoka dully, shaking his head while watching the other man nearly getting hit by a couple of cars in his pursuit to get to the apple pie. "Sometimes he is worse."

"Great," muttered Katana, rolling her eyes.

"We had better go make sure he doesn't hurt himself," said Hisoka sighing, while following after the older male with Katana not far behind him. "And make sure he doesn't use up the rest of our meal expenses for this trip or Tatsumi-san will be infuriated," added Hisoka, under his breath.

"What?" asked Katana turning to look at the young male.

"Nothing."

Around fifteen minutes later the three of them were settled in a booth with their breakfast in front of them: Katana had scrambled eggs, bacon, and two pancakes; Hisoka had waffles, sausage, and hash browns; and finally Tsuzuki had apple pie and cheese danishes.

"I am going to visit Hoshi's family," said Katana, while watching Tsuzuki gobble down his pie and danishes with a raised eyebrow. "See if that will be any good leads. Would you gentlemen like to come with me?"

Hisoka and Tsuzuki exchanged a look there was a chance a very small chance that the girl's family might know something, anything that might be of help. But the chances of them knowing something was slim to none.

"Sure," said Tsuzuki at last.

"Good," said Katana, taking a sip of the coffee that their waitress brought them along with their checks. "Let's finish eating and get going."

It took awhile to find the house which was a nice two story brick building with a picket fence and rose garden; the smell of lavender and peppermint was thick in the air and mingled with the smell of the roses.

"Looks like someone has a green thumb," said Tsuzuki, as they walked along the cobblestone pathway to the white French door.

"Probably the mother," said Hisoka.

"Grandmother actually," said Katana, breathing in the scents from the garden. `The mother is a doctor and the father owns a restaurant on the south side of town; the girl's grandmother lives with them because she doesn't want to live alone nor live in a nursing home."

"You did background checks on them?" asked Tsuzuki.

"It helps to know who you are talking to," said Katana, taking a deep breath before knocking on the door sharply.

"Yes?" asked a woman, with glossy black hair in a tight bun and clear dark green eyes wearing a black tank dress.

"I am Detective Katana ma'am," said Katana, holding out her badge. "If it is alright with you I would like to ask you questions about your daughter."

"Of course detective," said the woman, stepping back and holding the door open to let them in. "Please come in."

"Thank you," said Katana, stepping across the threshold.

"Can I get you any coffee?" asked the woman.

"Yes, please," said Katana, while the three of them followed the woman into the kitchen.

"Have a seat," said the woman.

"Thank you," said Katana. "Mrs. Turno, we are here to talk to you about your daughter. Can you tell me anything about her life? Anyone that might have a grudge against her?"

"My daughter practiced witchcraft," said the woman flatly. "A good deal of people had a grudge against her for that fact. Although Christianity is in a small denomination of Japan we still have our problems with extremists just like in the states."

"Yes," said Katana, blushing in embarrassment and rubbing the back of her head. "I did kinda notice you lived a few blocks from a church. Where they sending your daughter threats?"

"Some of them," said the woman, biting her lip. "The police of course wouldn't do anything because there wasn't enough evidence."

Katana shifted in her seat; she was starting to get really uncomfortable with how this conversation was starting to go.

"Can I ask you something Detective?" asked Mrs. Turno.

"Of course," said Katana, leaning forward bracing her elbows on her knees.

"Why do you care? You are far to young to know what I am going through."

"Actually," said Katana, coming to a decision. "I am not has young has you think." `Boy is that the understatement of the year,' thought Katana, before saying out loud. "Once upon a time I was married and from that marriage came a child, a female child."

Tsuzuki and Hisoka exchanged a look this was something they had never heard before.

"What happened?" asked Mrs. Turno softly.

"Because I gave birth to a female as a first born," began Katana, getting a far off look in her eyes. "My husband tried to kill us I managed to escape with my baby; but a few years later he found us and killed my daughter. Then he tried to kill me, if an old couple hadn't found me and my dead daughter I would have died but I didn't and I became stronger after that night."

"What was her name?" asked Mrs. Turno.

"Junko," said Katana, softly wiping away the one tear falling down her face. "Her name was Junko."

Katana was curled up into a small ball in a large comfy chair, sipping a cup of coffee while she was wrapped in her terry robe. Her eyes were glazed over has she remembered what had happened when Junko had been taken from her, by her ex.

"Damn you Draco," she whispered, into the silence of the apartment. "Damn you to hell."

At one time Katana had been a Genie, she still was on some level, she just no longer lived in a bottle and no longer had to answer to a master. Her last master had freed her of that burden; Draco, her last master who had freed her, married her, created a child with her, and destroyed her life. At first Draco had been a kind and gentle man; when he found her his first wish had been for more money so he and his mother could live more comfortably. His second wish had been to become an Immortal Healer to save his mother. Then his third and final wish had been to free Katana so he could marry her.

She didn't know when things had started to go wrong, but it had happened sometime after they got married and before Junko had been born. His powers must have corrupted him when he realized he had the power over life and death; and now instead of being a healer he could release plagues and diseases over towns and cities. She sighed and closed her eyes leaning her head back against the chair. She had to save Junko from whomever was controlling her before it was too late and her daughter became a Dark Genie and then Katana has a former High Genie would have to kill her own flesh and blood.
