I woke up to someone's touch. It was Komachi, looking rather clumsy. Either it was the middle of the night and she was drunk or it was morning... And she was drunk.
"Miss Shiki, they're calling us down." No alcohol on her breath. How surprising.
"Alright, I'm coming." I walked down the hallway to the conference room.
"Ah. Miss Shiki, I presume? As you may already know, we are sending you on your first mission to Britain. You will board a ship to Okinawa. There, we will have two days before we take a plane. We will stop at Russia for refuling before we head to Britain. We would have sent you to Paris, but another team is headed there. You have until after lunch to do as you please. Any questions?"
Komachi spoke up. "Will there be saké?" I smaked her with the rod on the head. "Do not ask such absurd questions!"
"There will not be," said the chief. "You do, however, have two days to gather whatever you like in Okinawa."
He then dismissed us, and Otori rushed up to me. "Hey, that thing is kinda powerful. Don't you think you hit miss Komachi a little too hard?"
"Think nothing of it. For one, Komachi is from my world, so it shouldn't hurt as much for her. Secondly, she is strong, to she can take as many of these as I give her, not that she enjoys it. And third of all, it's morning, so I didn't hit her that hard, and I haven't written a single sin on the rod." Now he was the one who looked confused.
"Ah that's right. You don't think much of this rod other than the fact that it's a pentagonal stick. Well, like I said, it is the Rod of Remorse, passed down from Yama to Yama. With the help of a mirror I use to look into others' pasts, which I left, I can write down sins of someone. The more dire the sin, the heavier he rod gets. And then I beat the offender until they repent. Neat, isn't it? "
He nodded. "Come now, miss Shiki. We only have six hours." I walked along side him with Komachi looking as stupid towards us as ever. "Oh, by the way, Otori," I started, "you needn't worry about getting hit by the rod. That is, if you don't do anything stupid, or worse...lie." I continued down the hallway while laughing. Otori stopped in shock for a while, but then he caught up with us. And then, as if it were a natural act...
"Hey, Otori, you got any saké here?"Last edited by wonderweiss; 05/14/2013, 09:15 PM.
