15 Where did he go...? (1/2)

”So...did you find anything new, Izumi?” Zeyner stared towards the city as he asked Izumi.

”Only new suspicions on the person I mentioned, sir.” Izumi answered as she stood behind Zeyner.

”I gave him an ID, which means he should be weaker than me, but I doubt that I can throw a stone using such energy myself, Izumi. What makes you still suspect him?” Zeyner questioned her as he calmly gazed over the city.

”Can a normal living person whose seal is broken and is on the side of light, restrict himself from emitting any positive energy,sir?.....if you ask me, the answer is...NO!, but this guy was able to achieve it somehow.” Izumi raised a brow as she stated what she found.

”Hmm...I see.” Zeyner was satisfied with Izumi's statements to why Shin is liable for suspicion of something fishy.

”Keep on searching for any new clues and keep an eye out on that person you suspect, you may leave now.” Zeyner ordered as he sneaked a peek at Izumi from the corner of his eye.

”Understood, sir.” Izumi turned around to leave the Head Quarters.

Izumi made her way to Ryu's shop and waited in the shadows for Shin to leave for his everyday walk.

”I am going out for my walk, Mr. Takahashi...” Shin waved at Ryu as he left their house.

”You know the drill...be back in time.” Ryu said as he sat in the shop looking at the low materials list.

Ryu waved in recognition, as he started walking towards East gate of the city.

”Where are you going? show me all your secrets...” Izumi murmured as she followed Shin from the shadows.

Shin smiled in his mind as he sensed something he used to do, happening to him.

”Following me from the shadows huh...It's like you are playing with my 'hand me down, old toys'....” Shin whispered to himself as he sighed.

Shin took a sharp left to an alley which leads exactly to the North gate. Izumi took the same turn following him from the shadows and peeking at him as she hid herself in small alleys as he moved. But as he took another turn, she could no longer see him.

”Where did he go...?” Izumi looked around in a hope to find him or atleast find any traces of him.

She started asking others if they had seen a dark clothed man passing by, to which everyone replied with a simple 'No'.

”I lost almost everything...but not my instincts. It is my fault to be so thoughtless when I answered to your questions.” Shin whispered as he watched her from the shadow of a building miles away.

Izumi lost her cool, witnessing how she was played and started to make her way back to rest for a while and recover all the energy she lost from a few low level incidents in the morning.

------------25 minutes later------------

Shin was staring towards the clouds moving in the blue sky, standing on a grassy cliff as the sea waves hit the cliff, which was atleast 20 meters above the sea level. This was the south-east coast of the great plain of Yodha. It was more than 80 miles away from Areon, which lied on the south end of Yodha.

Shin calmed down as he sat on the grassy cliff with his legs folded in. He started meditating as light winds caressed his golden-yellow hair. He dived deep into a meditating state as he calmed down his energy.
