Izana's Precious Twin

Reunions

Izana ran over and eagerly embraced him. A lot happened and he was just glad to be reunited with his brother and seeing Hitto again. Kakucho watched afar at the two. He wanted to join in but was unsure of how Izumi would react to him.

"....I...za..na?"

His soft and cracked voice filtered to his ears. Izuku was surprised at himself for forming words. Izana pulled away and was shocked but happy to hear him talk. He tried again. Izana was elated that at the very least he was able to whisper small sentences.

"I-zana. Izana."

"You're talking!"

Izana remembered Hitto brought him here and wanted to thank him but he was gone already. Izuku gave him a questioning look. Izana told him about how it was Hitto who took him here to see him.

"Kachan's here?! Where?"

Both looked in the same general direction but Kakucho had left the building. Duty calls. Izana wanted to find him so they could get home but didn't want to leave Izumi in the lounge. Even for a search around the many rooms.

"I'll wait here. Haru is nearby so if I need anything then I can make some noise."

"Fine."

It was an upscale neighborhood with private security. The mansion itself was well guarded with plenty of guards and alarms he convinced himself. As for Sanzu, he met him a couple of times and determined that he was a decent fighter.

Izana went into each room and poked around for clues or Hitto. In the room next to the lounge, one pink mullet slipped out for a drink and was startled to still see Izumi there. He smiled at him and waved him over.

"Here Haru."

"You can talk?!"

"I'm hungry."

"Right! What do you want to eat?"

"Taiyaki."

His eyes gleamed at Haru. He readily agreed and called for some to be brought up. Izumi wanted to catch up with Haru on what'd been happening with him over the years. Sanzu left out Bonten and the other illegal activities he participated in.

Takemichi was at Mitsuya's with Hina for the dress fitting. Draken and Chifuyu came along for moral support. Yuzuha just finished helping Hina. She twirled with the dress as Takemichi watched with awe.

"What do you think Takemichi."

"Woah."

"Hina chan is super pretty!"

Hakkai did get over his shyness of speaking with women and happily complimented Hina in her beautiful wedding dress. Draken and Chifuyu agreed, with some makeup and hair done she'd be perfect.

As Takemichi smiled at the sight another person's smile came into mind as well. Mikey. Then he remembered something else.

"When I'm not acting like I should be and hurt others, I want you to scold me like Shin does when he isn't around, okay?"

Then the contents of the video also popped up. Takemichi thanked Mitsuya and waved Hina off. She was going shopping with her mom in preparation for the wedding which was a couple days away.

Naoto sat at his desk typing away and viewing crime scene photos and reports. Forensics said they were nearly finished identifying and processing the unknown male. He was on edge and struggled to focus.

"Tachibana! Forensics lab said they're done."

"Oh! Thank you very much!"

This was all he cared about. Naoto sprinted down to the lab. He grabbed the copy and went back up to his desk. The body had been positively identified as Sano Shinichiro which was what he feared.

Shinichiro was last seen at the dojo, taking over classes since gramps passed away sadly. It was perfectly clean and nothing indicated foul play. It was assumed he disappeared or ran off but Emma insisted he was kidnapped or the like.

He wasn't killed immediately. He was well fed and cared for and the body was preserved extremely well. It seemed the cult killed him off around 6 months. Naoto surmised Shinichiro had been used in a ritual of some sorts.

His eyes were wide and his mouth opened as though he was screaming. The finger and toe tips were dried and placed in an ornate box. Some blood had been drained and sealed in mason jars. His torso was cut open with surgical precision and the skin and muscles were peeled back to reveal the organs.

"I have to tell Emma."

But did he though? Naoto knew who Shinichiro was, forensics identified him is all. Telling her and the twins would be devastating. They were "happy" per say but still wondered about Shin and he held the truth in the form of the lab results.

Naoto shoved them into a drawer and left for patrols. There was still time to make a decision.  

"I can't believe I'm even considering this."

Sanzu took Izumi out to the magnificent gardens behind the mansion. The fresh air would be good for them too being cooped up in there for so long. There was a gazebo he set him down in.

"Impressive right?"

He nodded with excitment.

"We have a whole team of people who tend to the place. We're probably not even gonna keep this one!"

"Keep what?"

"This cheap ass place! Koko bought it since it'll be short lived. Then hopefully he can sell it for more."

"I remember Koko. He's the one who's always with Inupi right?"

Sanzu was about to reply but thankfully shut his mouth. He was beginning to indulge in Bonten even if Izumi hadn't realized it. 

"You want some flowers here?'

"Is it alright?"

"Of course! You can have it all if you really want it! Now, tell me which ones you want."

His eyes spotted some lovely blooming hearts. Sanzu swooped him up and deposited him onto the grass. Izumi plucked a few and turned back up at him.

"Could you get me some ribbons or rubber bands Haru? I want to make little bouquets with them."

"Got it!"

In his pink hair and purple suit glory, Sanzu was more than happy to run back and find some pesky little bands for Izumi. He resumed plucking more flowers and some leaves to finish it out. He waited for Haru but it seemed as though he would be taking a little longer.

Some yards away contained bountiful hydrangeas and bluebells. Izumi crawled over to them, patting the dirt off his hands and dress. He tucked them into the waist and went to another set of flowers and vegetation.

Izumi accumulated a large collection of various plants. He went back to the gazebo and patiently waited for his pink haired friend.
