Minato wakes up, and moves out of the bed, rubbing his eyes.

Damn, just where the heck is that noise coming from... sounds like it's from outside...

Heading to the closet he grabs a long black overcoat and heads downstairs. He slips on his boots and makes his way outside, following this weird sensation that he has to look for the source of this sound.

I gotta be insane going out at night this late... oh well, least I don't have to worry about the company of others.

Minato, you hear a sound like the scuttling of insects, but far louder off to an alleyway to your left. The tone is louder down there as well.

I spread my wings and I learn how to fly....

I really hope whatever is making that sound is not a real bug... Aw, hell, might as well check it out, what are a few insects going to do anyway?

Minato thinks to himself as he braces himself for whatever the source of the sound may be, and he walks down the alley to his left.

Ugh... I could be sleeping in my bed right now, having happy thoughts, but no, I'm out in the cold down a dark alley... perfect.

A vicious click sounds nearby your head, and as the creature responsible for the sound walks, no, more like marches out into the moonlight, you question your sanity as you are faced with what appears to be a giant, earthen praying mantis.

The mantis makes no movements, simply staring at you.

"Hmmmg..."

What's that...? Midori thought, a little irritated at having her sleep interrupted It seems to come from outside

Midori tried to ignore it for a little while, hide under her pillow but no matter what she did the noise wouldn't stop.

"Umgmgm! That's it... I'm going to see what's making that noise" Midori said to nobody in particular as she stood up and put on her sneakers to give a quick look outside. Leaving the house on her tip toes she closed the door quietly behind her and the looked for the source.

Alright, so it is a bug... a big bug... but I might be able to get away if I simply walk slowly away...

Says Minato as he slowly backs away, heading to the street, while keeping his eyes on the movement of the large insect before him.

Alright, I'm pretty sure I'm smarter then a dumb insect, it should be easy to get away from it.

You count your blessings as the insect backs up, still facing you, back into the shadows.

Midori, as you step outside, you glance down the street and notice a familiar face backing away slowly from an alleyway.

Huh? I know that...

Midori walked towards the alleyway, forgetting for a moment the source of the noise that woke her up as she caught sight of a face she did not expect to see on this place.

Ah, the bug backed off good... was getting worried there...

Says Minato as he turns around. He stops and sees a familiar person walking up to him.

Wait a second... is that... is that Midori? Yeah that is her... I notice that small stature anywhere, but why is she here?

Minato stares blankly at the girl walking down the street, gives off a sigh and waves at her.

"Hey, Midori, is that you?"

"M-Minato!? What are you doing here at this hour?" Midori said in a voice a little too loud for a young lady that just slipped outside her home.

"I could ask th' both of you th' same question, young ones."

The voice came from someone who sounded entirely too young to be saying "young ones". The woman's features in their entirety were indescribable, she wore a flowing black cloak that covered everything, her face included. Most concerning, she wielded a scythe.

Great, I escape a giant bug, just to get caught by a person wielding a scythe... nice

"Midori, stay back..."

Says Minato as he gets in front of Midori, intent to buy the girl behind him some time to escape, from whoever this person is.

Jou continued walking down the street, at this point, quietly seething at how far this ringing is taking him.

"Honey, if I wanted to hurt you, you'd already be hurt. This scythe is not for you, young ones."

The strange woman points to Minato.

"I think you might have a good inkling as to what it's for, no?"

Instead of acting scared like a rational person should Midori too a step forward to stand besides Minato and get a better look at the cloaked woman "I just came chasing after a noise from outside... who are you by the way?"

Hearing the woman talk to Minato she looked at the guy, waiting for him to reveal what this was all about.

"Yeah, I do, and if it's not meant for us, then what is it meant for? Midori, does that scythe really look like it's meant for trimming hedges, no, it's not, it's meant to kill, now stay back.''

"You may call me Si, child."

She turned back to Minato, and then pointed behind him.

"Why that, of course."

Another of the mantis-like creatures had come into the street. This one, far less inclined to simply back away slowly.

At this Midori did jump back. She didn't like bugs when they were smaller than her thumb and finding an incredibly bigger version of them wasn't making her reconsider her opinion of them.

Several more crawled out of the shadows.

"Many more, stay back young ones."

In a move so quick no one really even saw it happen, Si was on the other side of the street, cutting her scythe into one of the Mantises.

Jou finally gets close to the source of the infernal racket, when he sees bugs. Jou had a personal policy. Any bug that entered his line of sight was immediately marked for death. He also notices Midori and the guy with the hair. He immediately begins looking for a blunt instrument.

"Wow, this is unreal... this is like something from a cartoon..."

Minato talks to himself as he watches the fight between Si and the insects, but he glances over at a figure of a familiar man from the corner of his eye.

Wait a second... Those glasses... Dang it what was his name... I think it was Jou.

"Jou get over here, now! It's dangerous out there!"

Says Minato, yelling at the man with glasses.

Si stretched her arms.

"Phew! What a workout."

In the blink of an eye, she was back by the side of the children.

"So yes, you see? I'm not here to harm you."
