*Jensia and Co*
"Oh!" Sonra said, speaking up. "You want to go see Mother! I was just on my way home from school. You can come with me!"
*Theresa*
"I wasn't worried," he answered as he made his way over to the other side of the cab. "I'm not human in the first place." Zack climbed in on the far side and shut the door behind him before looking back to her. "Well? You coming or not?" Apparently, his idea of being a gentlemen was letting her have the closer door, not getting it for her. Of course, he hadn't exactly shown himself as an example of good manners since they met.

Theresa tilted her head as he walked to the other side of the cab. She smiled to him, knowing in his own way, it was good manners. She opened the door and sat down, putting her large backpack between her legs hoping he wouldn’t be perverted and try to peep under her skirt. She sighed softly as they drove off. “Well then… What are you?” She asked as she had the back of her head facing him, her emerald green eyes staring out of the window with a frown.

Zach leaned forward and gave the taxi directions in Japanese. The driver seemed surprised and answered him in the same tongue, but Zach said something else and it seemed to reassure him. The young man leaned back again, but remained sitting up straight and looking forward, similar to how he had sat while on the plane.
"I'm a demon, same as you," he answered calmly. "Partially, anyway."

"What was the most common report, or the one that made the most sense?" Mark questioned, continuing the subject.

*Mark*
"They were all threats to them or their loved ones," she answered. "They made it sound like it was just for them, that it threatened their mother, their son, their family, but it was more likely just carefully-chosen language, sort of like when a so-called psychic does a cold reading."

"I suppose." Mark said, now out of questions to ask on the subject.

"We're here," Samantha announced as she pulled into the Visitor's Parking of Tokyo General. "You got everything you need? Paper? Recorder? Anything?"

"Yeah, but it wont do me too much good, unless they speak english, I'm recording what you are saying." Mark said pulling out a small disk recorder.

The three of them walked a few feet away to huddle on the issue. After several seconds of talking it was agreed that they would journey with Sonra. "Alright." Said Jorey "Ummmm have I introduced myself yet....well if not I'm Jorey and that's Jensia." Vincent walked beside Sonra "After you." Vincent looked back at Jensia and gave a wink out of mockery.

*Mark*
"Alright, let's go." She turned the car off and pocketed the keys as she climbed out, leading in to the hospital. When they got inside, she left Mark in the waiting room as she went to speak with the nurse at the desk.
It was several minutes before she came back. "One is mildly responsive. He seems to fade in and out of consciousness, but he's stable. We've got permission to talk with him if we can."
*Jensia and Co.*
Sonra dipped her head in a slight bow. "It's a pleasure to meet you all. Just a moment, and we can be off."
She dug into her knapsack as she looked for something, but after some struggling, patted down her shirt to see if she had placed whatever item she was looking for there. She blushed heavily. "Um ... I don't suppose any of you have a mirror? I seem to have misplaced my compact."

"Alright then... do lead the way." Mark said standing up from one of the waiting room chairs.

Jensia looked at Vincent and the two made a clueless face "Does it look like we carry mirrors?" asked Jensia. Jorey looked around on her person when she finally came to something. "Found it, I knew I had one." She walked over and held it out turning her head scowling at the other to jokingly "Boys are so useless most of the time."

*Mark*
Samantha led the way up several floors and through some halls to one room with a closed door. "We're in luck," she said to Mark. "Mr. Anezume is one of our directors. He's one of the few natives we worked with that spoke fluent English." She rapped on the door and an oriental man's voice bid them enter.
When they came in, the room was dark with the exception of a light on over his bed, and he sat up, looking out the window.
"Mr. Anezume?"
He didn't turn to look. "Are you the nurse?"
"No, Mr. Anezume, I'm not the nurse. I'm Dr. Weathers."
"No, you're not."
She blinked. "Excuse me?"
"You're not Dr. Weathers. Dr. Weathers is with the Empress. She is showing him all sorts of things. All sorts of magnificent things. Across the looking glass. And he sounded different. You're not Dr. Weathers."
Samantha glanced toward Mark to get his impression, but turned back, moving on into the room. "I'm Nathanial's sister. We spoke a couple times."
The man slapped his hand over his lap. "Sister. But I'm awake. The Sisters shouldn't be here. I'm still awake, aren't I?"
"Yes, Mr. Anezume, you're still awake. You just misunderstood me. I am a relative of Nathanial's. I work with him at the dig. Do you remember the dig?"
He nodded. "The dig. I remember the dig. The castle. The temple. The dig."
"I brought an investigator, Mr. Anezume. He wants to ask you some questions. Do you think you can answer him?"
He nodded and Samantha motioned for Mark to sit down beside the bed.
*Vic*
Mae Chung rolled her eyes. "If I were a certain lycan detective, Silver, I would probably start at the scene of the crime and see what my supernatural nose picked up."
*Jensia and Co*
Sonra giggled at that and nodded. "Most of the time, but it's nice to have a strong arm around once in a while." So saying, she accepted the mirror. "Okay, everyone, please don't panic." She waved the mirror around in a large circle, and a trail of magic followed it. Once the revolution was complete, they all four disappeared.
The next moment, they seemed to be in a beautiful Oriental-style castle built in the middle of a massive, crystal-clear lake under the light of a full moon in a clear, star-studded sky.
For those with an eye for detail, if one imagined the lake filled in and all but the highest points of the castle buried and far older, it would look exactly like the footage on the news reel.

Jensia and Jorey looked around quickly from place to place "Are we here? Where is here?" Asked Jensia Jorey looked over at Sonra "Who are you really? What's going on here?" Vincent had stepped a little ways out of the landing area "That's a neat trick, now what's the next move?" Vincent pointed to Sonra "I ask you do to the fact that you seem to know more about the current circumstances then those two. Don't get me wrong but this is not seen in one's every day....even mine."
