The Search Begins

(starting this now because I will be at my boyfriends for the next few days/the next week possibly, and may not have access to a computer)

It was a misty morning, the sun had barely risen and few people were about, though those that were seemed to take little notice of the green-haired man wandering around occasionally muttering to himself- Hazama signed, ‘we don’t even have a lead yet…’ he thought, glancing over the edge of the port balcony at the surrounding mountains, ‘though sitting around waiting for something to turn up would be pointless… The only thing we can do is try to find someone or something that has information on this stupid Amaterasu.’.

Mu-12, formerly know as NOL officer Noel Vermillion, stood stock still atop a building overlooking Hazama's position, long blond hair billowing along with her cloak in the light breeze. She remained hidden from the view of the public, well out of sight to any who may care to look. Silent footsteps kept her parallel to Hazama as he made his way through the crowds. From the moment she had awakened atop that tower she hadn't left her master's side. His safety was her top priority along with the destruction of this tainted world. Her lifeless eyes focused in on the bob of green, never losing track of it, not a hint of emotion crossed her young face.

Hazama sighed, 'This is frustrating...' he though, walking slowly along the port, ''Amaterasu could be anywhere in the whole damned world, and we don't what form it takes... it could be a human, animal, whatever...'. He frowned, glancing upward at the cloaked girl following him, then wandered further into the port.

The sun had risen high; the port was starting to liven up, and more people were wandering about doing their daily jobs. People were standing with stalls full of food; items and clothing, though none of it took his interest- all that was crossing his mind was questions about Amaterasu. He wondered, who would know anything about her? Maybe that idiotic vampire? Maybe one of those old six heroes? ...or should it be, four heroes, now?

He laughed to himself, backing into an alleyway as a group of NOL solders strolled past, attempting to avoid any questions as to his presents in Kagutsuchi- once they were out of sight he walked back out into the high-street.

Mu glanced around the now active port, with all these people around she would be spotted sooner or later. Furthermore there wasn't enough seithr present to sufficiently shield herself from view. Taking another look at her frustrated master, Mu decided that in a heavy crowd such as that he was relatively safe. Should he find need for her, all he need do is call and she would be there. With that, the Perfect Murakumo Unit turned away from the edge of the building she had stood on and faded from view entirely awash with flashes of electricity. In the blink of an eye she was gone without a trace.

======> Exit (will return should Hazama need it)

Hazama glances up as the cloaked girl disappears, then continues on walking; shoving his hands in his pockets. Perhaps it would have been easier to start the search later on in the day... Though heading back now would be pointless.

He wandered further into Kagutsuchi, drifting off into thought; that is, until he felt a strange, though familiar presence from below the ground. It takes him a few seconds to realize exactly what it is. 'That failed experiment is still active? he questioned himself, trying to recall what was located under Kagutsuchi.
A smirk crossed his face for a second, and within seconds he changed his pace and headed for the lower levels.
