The instant that Ryuhou tried to fend off his joke, Rao knew he was hiding something. Relaxing a little, he set the water on the table with a firm clink. The man in front of him was on the verge of spilling something, and that was interesting. If it was any normal watch, there would be nothing strange about it... now would there? "Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but... perhaps it can... give you a little something extra? A little something... like a 'mask'?" Rao smiled to himself. Perhaps he wasn't paranoid after all. The others didn't look like they had taken notice of his remark. |

"Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but... perhaps it can... give you a little something extra? A little something... like a 'mask'?" Did he say "a mask?" Is he... an agent for them? I better find out fast. "A mask? Hahaha! That's a captial idea! Maybe it does. Maybe it doesn't. Why did you say that anyway?" |

"Oh, no reason. No reason. At all." Glancing at his own watch, Rao smiled again, this time with a vicious gloating of victory in his eyes. Ryuhou had admitted as much. His laugh, his abnormal denial, it all came down to one thing - he was another Kamen Rider. That was all he needed to know for now. Ryuhou Takumi - a man to be watched. And if the time comes, to be judged. "Well, Ryuhou-kun... look at the time, I gotta be going. There are... matters to attend to." Rao sat forward to get off his seat, and leaned his head closer to Ryuhou, speaking softly, "Your secret is safe... for now. Don't go around flashing that watch too much. It could cause... trouble." Smiling casually, Rao walked to the doors, suppressing his laughter. He could tell Ryuhou was nervous already, for whatever reason he didn't want his identity to be revealed. "There will come a time, when judgment will be passed." Rao raised a finger to the ceiling, and left. His glass of unfinished water rocked, and fell onto the floor with a loud crash. |

"Your secret is safe... for now. Don't go around flashing that watch too much. It could cause... trouble." "There will come a time, when judgment will be passed." Oh boy. At least he doesnt seem to be an agent of them. But I'll have to watch out for him. I'll have to inform headquarters about him. Ryuhou noticed the broken glass. "How'd that happen? Hey, Ryuji, I got to go outside to make a call. I'll be back." With that, Ryuhou stepped up and walked to outside the restraunt to make a call to headquarters. |

Stepping behind a tree, Rao waited patiently. If his predictions were correct, Ryuhou would need to make a move. And judging by the nervousness, he wasn't much of a man to hold in the urge to rely on someone else. That would mean a friend, a boss, someone. Someone he could perhaps get information from, as to how many, or what kind of Kamen Riders there are. |

Ryuhou walked out of the restraunt and went to a phone booth. This should be a good place to call headquarters without being noticed. Ryuhou pressed some buttons on his wrist device. BZZZT. "Hello, headquarters. What's the status on the scout fleet? They're not here yet? That's good. We might have a problem. There might be another Kamen Rider. And he knows that I'm one. No, I don't think that he's an agent of them. But it would be a good idea to tail him and find out about him. Yeah... His name? Its Rao. I forgot the last name. Wait a minute. I got to go." Ryuhou had heard rustling in a tree behind the phone booth and saw someone running away. "Was that... Rao? Did he hear my entire conversation?" |

Mao cocked her head to the side after witnessing the whole exchange with Rao. 'That guy was wierd... but some of the things he said to Ryuhou were...' Mao decided to keep that info filed away for later as she glanced at Ryuji. Mysteries were fun. Finally, the server brought the rest of her food, and the buns had cooled off enough for her to take one and tear a big bite out of it. |

Ran had never been the type to get involved in social situations a lot, though, as she watched the others, she resolved to do it a little more often. And this was certainly an interesing group. She was only paying a sliver of attention to Ryuji's conversation, though she was interested in how effectively he'd been distracted from Maocai, but she turned and watched as the man Ryuji had been talking to got up and left. hmm... the Gale metal hummed in her head. |

As he sat on the hotel roof training his energy, Wang Zhongfu could not hold back any longer. Getting up, he let out a tremendous roar, sounding like a celestial dragon as the sound travelled through the air. Feeling relaxed, he sighed and turned around to make his way back down the stairs of his room. Putting his hand on his room's doorknob, a voice echoed through his thoughts. He'd heard this voice a couple of weeks back, the voice of the Transfiguring Heaven Arm. [You know, that wasn't a very smart move there, Zhongfu.] [Huh...?] [Now any enemies we may have now know of our presence] Opening his door, he quickly walked inside before putting his hand on the door, and then banged his head on his hand. "Shit." |

Deep in the bowels of the Shadowy Organization's Headquarters, Shuji was getting his first real taste of what the organization would require of him. "Here," Reika said, handing him a cell phone and a pager. "These are what we'll contact you with. When we say jump, you jump not even caring about height." "Got it." Shuji pocketed both objects. "You are, as of right now, a foot soldier. You will be, at times, one of the superficial workers at our dayside operation. By signing that application, you have waived every right that you had. Obey us, and you will be rewarded handsomely. If you dare to cross us, you will disappear. It will be as if Date Shuji was never born. Am I clear?" "Crystal, ma'am." Shuji stood, a stoic look on his face. "I'm sorry for the threats and secrecy, but the laws don't allow for our kind of operation out in the open air." "Yeah... sometimes, you have to break the rules to do what's right." "That's correct." "My father..." He laughs. "My father always said that, that doing what's right is better than obeying the law." "Sounds like he has a pretty good head on his shoulders." She smiled at the young man, trying to keep him calm. "Yeah, that's very true." He studied her for a moment, taking in the defining characteristics of her face. Her brown hair, shoulder length, her brown eyes hidden behind her reading glasses, and her nice smile. She reminded him of an old classmate back home. "So, if I may ask, what made you decide to join us? The recruiters said that it was the fastest acceptance in recent memory." "To do, and perhaps, be something. I come from a small town, where it's easy to stand out just existing. Everything was so tight knit and squished together that it was easy to fall through the cracks. Good grades weren't all that rare, atheletic prowess wasn't uncommon." "But this is a secret organization, though we will acknowledge your efforts at least." "Mmm, true. But there is something different about this situation, something that draws me to it. Perhaps, it's because I finally feel like I belong. My father was a baker, as well as the pillar of the community. But, I often wondered if it was because our community was so small. Now, after swim through the ocean of humanity that is Tokyo... I feel at home. There's a closeness that I can't put my finger on." He shakes his head and smiles at her. "Sorry, I must seem like a babbling fool to you." She shakes her head. "No..." she said, pausing for the right words, "I think it's wonderful that you believe in us and yourself so much." He turns for the door and chuckles a little bit. "You know, this reminds me of when I moved away. My father told me a story of a little boy, who tried his best everyday and never gave up, because he wanted to be a hero and an inspiration to everyone around him. One day the boy grew up, and everyone was sad, because their hero had decided to go away. But though they were said, they all still said goodbye to him all the same, because somewhere, a hero is needed to bring up the spirits of the other people of the world." "Wow, that's a great story. But, why did he tell you that story?" Shuji chuckled some more. "Because, he said, that boy was me. Though I hadn't done much to impress myself, I had helped lift everyone else around me to a higher sense of self worth. In times like these, I finally believe him." He quickly bowed and left the room. |

Ryuhou walked back into the ramen restraunt and sat down back where he had been previosuly watching Ryuji squirm under Mao's lady charms. "Hey I'm back from my call. What'd I miss?" |

With a drunken yell the wall of the Ramen shop crumbled inwards and a figure obscured by the dust leapt inside. "OH YEAH!" A drunken male voice announced in slurred english. Before Mikael locked eyes on an empty seat and sat down. "Oi... Sake?" Mikael asked of the frightened cook. Then Mikael swiveled on his seat to view everyone else in the shop. "Pardon my dust... .... hah... hahahah!" Mikael collapsed in a fit of laughter and fell off his chair. "... ow... hahahahahah!" |

"How'd that happen? Hey, Ryuji, I got to go outside to make a call. I'll be back." "Sure..." Ryuji said, as the other man left. "ok...that was creepy," he said unsteadily. "Didn't think real people talked like that," he said jokingly to Mao. "Hey, is something wrong?" He asked, as he tapped her on the hand lightly. "Ms. Ran are you going to order?" Before the other girl could respond, Ryuho burst back in, "Hey I'm back from my call. What'd I miss?" "Nothi-" "OH YEAH!" "Ok, this is one loud day," Ryuji concluded. |

"OH YEAH!" Ok, this is one loud day," Ryuji concluded "What the..." Ryuhou was starled by the sudden appearance of the drunken person, who apparently had burst through the wall of the Ramen Restraunt. "What the heck happened?" |

Mikael stood up quickly, swaying for a second before locking eyes with Ryuhou. Taking two steps over Mikael swung a gentle (for him) right hook that caught Ryuhou across the chin. "What!? Yer not gonna help a guy up when he's fallend down?" Mikael asked, a little shocked by Ryuhou's behavior. "How rude!" |

"Hey! What are you doi-!" Ryuhou's sentence was interrupted as this rufflian punched him on the chin. He staggered back a few steps, blood dripping from his mouth. "What!? Yer not gonna help a guy up when he's fallend down?" Mikael asked, a little shocked by Ryuhou's behavior. "How rude!" "Excuse me?! You're the rude one! You burst through the wall, and you act like nothing happened, then you punch me for no reason! How dare you! I'm going to call the cops on you!" Ryhou shouted at this crude person. |

Mikael looked at the yelling man, then at his fist, then at the man, then back at his fist. A confused look flitted across his face. "They usually fall down when I do that..." Mikael said, oblivious to the man's yelling. "I must have hit him too lightly." Mikael stepped in and this time deliver a left hook to the man's chin designed to knock his ass out. |

Mikael stepped in and this time deliver a left hook to the man's chin designed to knock his ass out. "Oh!" Ryuhou saw the move in time, grabbing a metal tray and hoping that it would stop this stranger's punch in time. |

Mikael's fist connected with the tray, pushed it in until it caught Ryuhou's face, and knocked the other man clear off his feet and sent him flying two and half feet away before his body hit the ground. "Huh, people don't go 'CLANK' when I hit them..." Mikael said, a little confused. Then he noticed the metal tray. "Oooooh you sly devil!" |

Ryhou braced himself for the hard landing then bounced two times. "Ow!" "Huh, people don't go 'CLANK' when I hit them..." Mikael said, a little confused. Then he noticed the metal tray. "Oooooh you sly devil!" "Ryuho! Are you all right?!" Ryuji yelled, not daring to get up, as this strange man scared the piss out of him. Ryuhou looked up at the man who had just punched him down to the floor despite blocking it with a metal tray. Ow! That hurt! This person is too strong for a normal human being! What's going on... "I'm okay... I think..." Ryuhou groggly replied to Ryuji's question before passing out. |

Aadis Ansey let out a relieved sigh, throwing himself down upon the bed with reckless abandond. Sure, it was the sort of thing kinds tended to do, but it had been a long day. The time zone differences and jet lag weren't doing anything to help. He was looking forward to a long, restful sleep...or maybe it was only a nap he would be getting... He recalled having heard that the meeting was at 3:00. Whether that was Japanese or British time, he couldn't remember for the life of him. This gave him pause. It was unlike him to be so lax. Then again, he had been feeling odd as soon as he touched down in the land of the rising sun. Despite his fatigue, he just couldn't seem to sit still. His entire body was a jumble of nerves. He sat up restlessly. His second wind had hit. He had a feeling his stay in Japan would be interesting, to say the least. |
