Takao impatiently listened to his brother explain his powers. He did a small demonstration, and as the table began to press against his head, Takao swatted it away with great irritation. As he waited till the end of this little show, so Takao could get an answer to his second question. When his brother said no, another wave of anger swept over Takao.
"You won't give me powers, Huh? Why do you want to be the best in the game with you psychic specialness. Fuck you" takao Muttered under his breath before storming upstairs to his room before ichirou could answer.

Ichirou mouthed, "What..the..hell?"
Something was seriously wrong with Takaos' mind and Ichi was afraid he couldnt do anything about it. He sighed, went over to the table, gathered his Gantz paraphenalia, turned off the light in the kitchen and went to his own destroyed room. Tomorrow would bring about new challenges and as Ichi laid in his bed, he wasnt sure if he could face them...

Takao snuck out of his room through a window as he got there. using a controller, he went invisible.
Effortlessly rushing through the dimly luminous region of osaka, he finally busted back into his school's pool using the locker window key combo. He undid his invisibility and hastily stripped himself of the power granting suit for instead a skintight swimsuit. His school truancy had never happened before. As he showered and donned a pair of goggles, he briefly glanced at the sports bulletin board.
In bold letters, the headline for the swim section was: "Takao Sato replaced as Aki Shiku steps up to block as new swim team captain!!!"
Takao stopped. His teeth started grinding horribly as he yanked the sheet free from its stapled home before crumpling it and discarding it in the trash as he added another thing on his list of bad things to add.
He finally got to the pool itself. As his feet touched the surface of the water, the crisp coolness sent a mild shock up his legs. After fully submerging himself, he tried to work out. As he pulled and kicked and flipped in the murky dark waters, he thought for a moment he saw Sayomi's face in the water. He stopped and stood in the pool, mid lap. He desperately looked around. Nothing.
He tried to continue more, but more faces began to pop up. After Kumiko's face showed up, Takao screamed and pulled himself out. He ran toward one of the farthest walls of the pool, sitting in a ball, constantly staring at the water. This had to be a nightmare.
He hastily changed back into his suit and sprinted home. He broke back in the same way, and showered. Everything about him hurt. He plopped himself onto the bed in normal clothes. He couldn't sleep as he was greeted by the rays of the new day.

Tamia followed May's direction and found her after an hour and a half of searching. Tamia looked at May then her bike. "I doubt my bike can fit both of us. It's only designed for one person." May smiled as she made her way over to a motorcycle. "OK will this one do? I kinda like it. And you know how to hot wire right?" Tamia saw the motorcycle and her eyes widened "It's beautiful May.....but we can't take it. This belongs to someone else." May opened her purse and pulled out a large wad of money. "Here just leave this here and they'll be able to buy another one." Tamia got on it and put on her helmet. "Hold on May it's going to be a crazy ride." Tamia hot wired it and revved it up. Quickly they took off and headed for the house. "Tamia it's late already so you can stay at my house." Tamia smiled and started to go faster. Soon they would be able to relax after this long day.

Ichi didnt sleep a wink that night. His sixth sense went off twice during the night, when Takao left and when he came back. He sighed. Today was going to be looong.
Ichi performed his morning rituals: taking a shower, brushing his teeth. The usual. He looked at the clock to see it was 7 in the morning. Walking back to his room he noted his Gantz suit splayed out in a corner. Wearing the suit during the day would better acclaimate him to the feel of it. Ichirou began the meticulous process of putting on the suit. First he slipped into the bottom half, this took him a full minute to do. He pulled the top half over himself and connecting the nodes into their right parts. He pulled on some slim fitted jeans and a black long sleeved shirt. He snapped the gloves and boots to the suit. He loosend the neck of the suit and pulled it down to conceal it.
As soon as Ichi made it downstairs, there came a heavy knock at his door. He walked up to it and opened the door. A man and a woman, both clad in brown longcoats, were at the door. The man said, "Mr. Sato, im Detective Takuya and this is Special Agent Nami. We have a few things to discuss with you. Its about a couple of relatives of yours."
Oh shit...

Takao drearily pulled himself out of his bed as he heard the knocking on the door. Wondering what it was, he hid his Gantz equipment before he slowly made his way downstairs. He saw the two longcoats and quickly retreated up. "This wasn't good. They could be vampires....or cops." He thought.

Soon Tamia and May made it home. May's house was huge. Her father was so rich that May didn't just have her own room. She has an entire wing of the house. Tamia got off the bike and took her helmet off. "Whoa. I think it's gets bigger each time I visit." May smiled as she got off the bike. "That's because it does. I just asked daddy to add on a new section. I need somewhere to clothes." Tamia shook her head. It was hard to actually see people throw away money like it was yesterday newspaper. Tamia family struggled for everything they had. They entered the house and made their way over to May's wing. The very first thing Tamia did was look for a shower. "May do you have any clothes I can wear that won't make me look like a whore?" May said Nope and looked around for something that her friend could wear. She found some pajamas that she had never worn. "Here you go. Be quick though I need one after riding through the city on a motorcycle." Tamia looked back at May. "It was your idea to take it." May flopped on her bed and turned on her TV. "Yeah well now I need a shower. So did you catch that guy who broke Jason leg? Was it a guy? If so was he cute?" Tamia threw a towel at May and laughed. "I'm not telling you. At least not until I take a shower." Tamia went into the bathroom and locked the door.

Ichirou looked at the two brown coated clad people at his front door. His sixth sense didnt go off so maybe they werent there to do harm. Ichi quickly used his X-ray vision to peer into their jaws. Detective Takuya had no fangs, Special Agent Nami was chewing a big wad of pink gum but otherwise had no fangs.
"Uh yeah come in," said Ichi moving out of their way so they could walk in. "Nice shoes. You dont take them off while your in the house?" Detective Takuya asked. SHIIT! Ichi forgot about all that Japanese culture shit he'd seen in animes and movies. "Ah well I just got these shoes. I was just trying them on when you knocked," he lied. Would Gantz blow up his head in front of these people? Ichi hoped not. He closed the door and ushered them to the kitchen. "Can I get you two anything?" "No thank you. Lets get right to it. Please take a seat," Special Agent Nami spoke up for the first time. She had a very hard voice. Ichi sat down. He knew what the hell was coming. This was about his fathers dead body at Takaos burned down house. "Your father.. He.. He was murdered last night around 11:45 PM.." said Detective Takuya. "Whhat!? Oh my God..." Ichi feigned surprise. "H-How?" "We cant release that at this point in the investigation, sir. Im very sorry for your loss.." Ichirou was surprised at how genuine Takuya was. "Thank you. To tell you the truth we werent so close.. But dammit..my own father.." Ichirou looked at his table to add to the effect. "That brings us to the other half of this visit. You know your brother Takao Sato right?" Special Agent Nami asked. She was the more colder of the two. Ichirou nodded and said loudly, "In fact he came to my door last night. Frantic. He couldnt get out what had happened but he seemed shaken!" He hoped Takao would hear that part. "Hes here? Can you please go get him?" asked Nami. "Uh yeah of course.." Ichirou got up slowly and walked toward the stairs. He walked up them and rounded the corner only to see Takao standing there listening in. "Takao.. Its safe alright? The need you downstairs.."

Aimee woke up early everyday since that weird night in the Room and the confrontation with the human. She woke up around 5 or 6. Then she just sat in her quiet living room, hugging her knees. When the mall opened, she was always the first one there. She had hoped that maybe she would see Yasu. Somehow she deluded herself to thinking that maybe he wasn't dead. She would stay there for 2 hours, then go home. She had barely eaten in 2 days. As for blood, she hadn't had much of that either. Everytime she tried to drink it, she thought of that repulsive human Kaede. She didn't know what was up with her. She avoided everyone of her vampire cohorts. She was losing her touch. Somewhere in that night something hit her hard. She needed to straighten out. At 9 the mall opened. She began to dress up. She put her hair in a lazy ponytail and slipped on skinny jeans and a blue buffalo plaid shirt over a pink tanktop. She wore tons of colourful jewlery. With that , Aimee left her apartment. She didn't want to take her car, so she took the subway. Within a halfhour she was at the mall. She walked around aimlessly, telling herself over and over to go home. She never did though. Finally she decided she had to stop coming here. She was about to leave, but first decided to go to the foodcourt and check one last time..

After about 35 minutes Tamia finally got out of the shower. When she dried off and put on her pj's she noticed that May was sleep. "Wow maybe I did take too long." Tamia turned the TV off and went to bed. After the long day she had all she wanted to do was rest. The next morning Tamia awoke to find that May was in the bathroom finishing her shower. "Oh hey sleepy head. I didn't think you would ever get up. Get dressed Tamia we are going to the mall." Tamia eyes widened and her face lit up with joy. She hadn't been to the mall since she arrived in Osaka. "Wh-what should I wear?" May pointed to the closet as she pinned her hair up. "I picked you out an outfit. Yes it's slutty but you'll thank me for it later."
Once both of them were ready May took her BMW. "Tamia you drive." She tossed her the keys and sat in the passenger seat. "Don't worry about directions. It's programmed in the GPS so just follow it. While you do that I'm going to play this new song I heard." Tamia turned the car on and headed towards the mall. Many thoughts ran through her mind. "Who would she meet there? She had heard that many celebrities come to the mall. Would her parents be upset? What was the food court like? By the time she finished asking all of those questions they had arrived at the mall. "May we're here. I am SO excited. I can't wait we have to go to the food court first. I never seen one in Osaka."
Tamia basically drug May to the food court. Once there she saw several different restaurants with many different types of food. "Aw man I think I'm in heaven." Tamia hadn't eaten anything since yesterday morning before school. She was hungry and it was starting to show. Quickly she ran towards one of the restaurants and had two orders of fried rice with sushi smothered in wasabi sauce. Off in the distance she noticed someone. It like they were looking for something or someone. "May wait here for one second." Tamia walked over to where the girl was. In a nice soft tone Tamia spoke to her. "Um excuse me. Miss I notice you seem like your looking for someone. Is there something me or my friend can do to help?" Tamia awaited an answer from the quiet girl.

Marcus felt the single of many drops of perspiration trail it's way down from his hairline down, between his eyes before flying clear off his face as he turned at considerable speed. His opponent, having expected, from Marcus' cross over for him to go to the right rather than the left was just too slow to make up the difference and he fell onto his knees as he attempted to turn but found that his legs couldn't keep up; an uncommon occurrence in basketball that had come to be called "Broken Ankles". Finally Marcus found himself with an open path to the basket and he took it. Jumping high into the air, higher than almost anyone in the crowd, including the scouts for the Japanese National Team, had ever seen, Marcus slammed the ball into the net, scoring a slam dunk.
The Crowd went insane.
Marcus had been improving through out his high-school career but seeing such a young man, barely even in his second year of high school almost solely dominating a basketball game as if it were a joke, was just plain ludicrous. He was fast, strong, he had ball control and his reflexes were just spectacular, and it was all thanks to being a Vampire. Though Marcus had been an impressive player before his transformation and training, he was amazingly good now. "Tie game" Marcus thought to himself as he made his way back to his teams side of the court, his teammates slapping him with great passion and giving him words of encouragement as they too made their way back to their team's half of the court. It was then, just as Marcus made his way past the half-Court mark that the other team decided to rush past him, ball bouncing off ground.
Marcus moved fast, catching up to the center of the other team just as he made to dunk. Jumping higher than the taller boy by at least four inches, Marcus slapped the ball away from him with such force that it flew from his one handed grasp and hit the point guard of the opposing team in the stomach with considerable force, forcing him to his knees in agony. As the boy gasped for breath, Marcus picked up the ball and sprinted down the court, dribbling the ball efficiently enough that he was not slowed down. Then, the buzzer sounded and it became official that Marcus and his team had won by five points. They were going to the Final 8 of the Nationals.
************************************ It had been a good day at school, and they had won the Basketball match, or so Marcus had told his father and his wife, the woman, though she was pleasant enough, he just couldn't call her "mom". However, during his school day all his thoughts had been on self-defense, he wanted to know how to defend himself, and he wanted to know soon. As he typed in google, Marcus began to contemplate. Then, once he was confident in his choice he typed the letters "K-A-R-A-T-E" into the text box, initiating the web search for the word Karate.

Bleary eyed and groggy Takao came down slowly to the room where the two detectives resided. Bowing to them properly and politely, he hoped this visit would not last long. He waited a small time for them to ask him something before he asked "What do you people want???" in a rather bland and exausted tone. Rather be asked questions about his fathers death, he would have rather been trying to go back to sleep, although he knew that would probably do him no good.

Detective Takuya was the first to speak. He cleared his throat, "Well we already have all the information we need at the moment but we'll be back tomorrow." "Wait..no questions for him?" Ichi asked, obviously confused. "We really have to get going. Oh yeah your father left this for you two. Have a nice day," Special Agent Nami laid a manilla envelope Ichi hadnt noticed on the table. the two detectives left abruptly. "What....the hell?" said Ichi. No matter. He turned to the envolpe and picked it up. Opening it, he read it for about a minute before saying, "Oh..oh my fucking... Takao its a fucking inheritance and his will!!! Holy shit look at all those zeros! Holy fucking- Holy fucking shit!!!"
Ichirou practically threw the letters at Takaos face.

Kaede sat at a table across the foodcourt from Aimee. He didnt see her. He didnt know she was only a few metres away from him. His cheek rested on his knuckles and he yawned, looking through the bio of the man he was about to arrest. His partner, Raiden Nakamura, was at a nearby coffee shop buying coffee for himself and something else for his partner. Raiden reminded Kaede of a yellow fox with red eyes and thats usually how Kaede described him. Kaede sat there, a expression of boredom clear across his features. "I got you a coke." Raiden said coming up behind him. Kaede grimaced, but said thank you. He finished reading the last line to dossier and turned around. Kaede yawned as he took the bottle of coke from Raiden. Kaede was about to take a sip , when he caught someone from the corner of his right eye. He dropped the bottle imediatly and the drink got all over Raiden. Kaede didnt notice though. He was to preoccupied. It was her. He would have recognized her face anywhere. She changed from her black business suit and dressed casual. Still, she stood out from the crowd. Aimee looked around as if she was looking for someone , but already knew she wasn't going to find that someone. Without a word to Raiden (who was cursing and reaching for napkins) , Kaede got up and walked across the foodcourt to see her. Midcourt , he stopped. Some african girl was talking to her now. Food, perhaps? The thought sent sickening tremours of thoughts through Kaede's brain. Still he moved on. He wanted to talk to her. He wanted to be around her for some unfathomable reason. "Hey." He smiled at the african girl and then at Aimee. "There you are. I wanted to talk to you, but I couldn't find you." He gave Aimee a look that said 'Come with me.' His hand reached for her wrist and he held on. Strange electricity flew through his fingertips as he made contac with her skin. He blinked but moved on with his act. He turned to the other girl. "Hi, im sorry, but im going to have to take this...brilliant young lady away. She and i have some important business to discuss." Withthat , he tugged her away, before she could say something else. Kaede didn't feel the dangerousness he felt the other night. It wasn't because they were in a large crowd either.Something just told him, she wouldn't hurt him. He took her to the most private place he could find. It was the roof of the mall. When they were alone, he turned and faced her.

With a burning feeling in his heart as he heard Ichirou talk about all the zeros in the will, Takao silently began to walk back upstairs as Ichirou practically threw the letters at his face. Instead of being joyous, he was angry. He was abandoned, his mother just disappeared to work, and now his father was fucking rich? When did this happen?
"Keep it, I want nothing to do with it whatsoever." Takao said in a monotonously deadpan voice.
