Chapter 6: The Suspicious Man.

Nishimura and the gang sighed. "Natsume...." said Sasada sadly. "Is he really gone? He was only here for few days." "He was taken by that exorcist of all things...." said Kitamoto. "Who is this Natsume you talk about here?" a man in kimono and and glasses appeared behind them.  "Who are you? Visitors are required to see the principal's office." said Sasada. "You're not allowed in the classrooms." "I know the school principal really well, kid. Now, I heard you talked about Natsume just now. Is he a student of this school?"

Nishimura and the gang looked at him suspiciously. "He was, but he has been absent for the past few weeks." "Is that so..." the man glanced at the window. "Natsume loved to look at the skies too." said Kitamoto. "Natsume Takeshi huh..." muttered the man as he walked out of the classroom. "What a strange guy...." said Kitamoto. "I wonder what he is up to. Requesting for Natsume...everyone knew Natsume isn't around anymore."

After several hours, Natsume's ex schoolmates finally left the empty classroom and reached school gates. Leaning against the gates, they saw the suspicious man again. "Why are you still here? Go away!" said Nishimura. "Hmph. Even though I got news about your precious friend Natsume?" "What?" said Nishimura. "Are you sure?" "He was taken away by the exorcist, Matoba Seiji, am I right?" said the man. "And who are you?" said Sasada. "I am the enemy of the Matoba Clan to the very core, Natori Shuuichi. You have interest in taking him back. I have interest to overthrow the Matoba Clan. How about we collaborate? Isn't that a good idea?" he said.

"Natori Shuuichi...somehow it sound familiar..." said Sasada. "Oh, I am also an actor. You may have seen me many times in movies." replied Natori."Fabulous." said Kitamoto sarcastically. "Who is he?" said Nishimura. "An actors in many famous dramas," said Sasada. "And, you know a lot of Natsume?" said Nishimura. "Do you know where he is now?" "I don't, but I have a good idea where he might be taken, given that he was taken by that exorcist." replied Natori. "Why do you exorcists know so much about Natsume?!" said Sasada. "Even the damn principal didn't even tell us the truth!" "Because he is a Natsume." said Natori. "The Natsume Clan which half obliterated the world more than hundred years ago."
