[Negi shook his head.] I didn't know them for a long time. My dad and mom left me with my uncle Stan and my cousin Nekane when I was just a baby. It took me a long time to even hear about them, but that was when I was teaching in Japan.

I knew my dad was alive but it wasn't till I was fifteen that I heard about my mother. It's not that they abandoned me, they just left me in Wales for my own protection.

[A fat lot that did, when a anti-mutant terrorist cell attacked their village. Even with his dad driving them off, the town had been in ruins for a long time.]

[This was enough to make Sou straighten his back and listen with every fiber of his being than just casual conversation. He didn't have the same background that Negi did, but at least he could sympathize even a little.]

Is there a way to get word to them to let them know that you're still alive? What about your uncle and cousin? Are they able to tell them?

[Sou had the feeling the answer to that wasn't going to be a positive one but he asked just the same.]

[found_a_way]

I can try. There's a couple of connections I made in Japan with my students. I have at least a couple looking in on it.

[Which was better than expected due to the Yukihiro resources but still...]

[sou_kigetsuki]

So, you're absolutely sure they're in Japan?

[Sou has cousins there too, along with England, the Philippines, Taiwan, China, and Germany. All of them are in the business in one way, shape or form.]

I thought you said that they were last seen in England. I'm getting lost.

[found_a_way]

Definitely not there. They might be somewhere. The last KNOWN location was Japan, and before that England, but nothing yet.

[sou_kigetsuki]

Ah, now that makes more sense. You had me globetrotting mentally for a moment. Whew, I'm glad I wasn't losing my mind. So, with Japan in mind, I think you're on the hot trail. I just hope that it doesn't get cold on you.

[found_a_way]

Hopefully not. The clues left behind said they were headed to the States around a couple of years ago. So there's something.

[sou_kigetsuki]

They would have been here by now, wouldn't they? They're not walking or swimming across oceans. Maybe you should hire a sniffer dog or a detective or something to find them.

[found_a_way]

Maybe, but they're elusive. I'll be fine, I can take time off looking for them.

[sou_kigetsuki]

Well, if you think that's going to help, go for it but you might want to considered how scattered you're being right now. You might be better off with a plan.

[found_a_way]

I always have a plan. It's just not enacted yet. [Half bluff half 'yes I have a plan, no I don't know what it is yet but it'll be awesome'.]

[sou_kigetsuki]

[There's a chuckle from Sou. He's not naive enough to believe it but he'll humor anyway.]

Okay. I'll take your word for it, Mr. Springfield.

[He tosses him a set of keys.

Just bring it back in one piece.
