Kaolinite wilted before her obsession. "Forgive me professor. I followed the three Daimons to a alleyway, but when I got there all that was left were two destroyed daimon seeds."
Tomoe snarled, his scarred face glowing menacingly. "And you didn't think to perhaps try and follow the third one?"
"But there was no trace of where the third Daimon went sir..." Kaolinite nervously commented, even as Professor Tomoe's ire grew. He opened his mouth to berate his assistant.
"Enough." A quiet feminine voice spoke up; Tomoe shut his mouth and turned to the shadows. Behind his back Kaolinite scowled. Out of the shadows stepped a young girl, who bore a passing resemblance to Hotaru. "It is obvious that Hotaru has escaped us for the time being, we will find her eventually. Until then though we have more important matters to attend to."
"Yes Mistress Nine" The two chorused, albeit Kaolinite said it while grinding her teeth.
Mistress Nine, AKA Aya (Having not liked the name Rei and chosen a different one), continued speaking. "We can not afford to expose ourselves to soon. Even before this we would have to have been stealthy in order to gather pure heart crystals. Primitive though they may be, having your fellow humans know of us would prove.... annoying. Besides you do realize what the daimon seeds mean?"
"Of course that my disobedient daughter and that accursed BOY have escaped us! Oh he will pay......yes he will...."
Mistress nine rolled her eyes. "No it means that the boy or some other agency is around that is capable of destroying daimons. We must be careful. How long would it take to make enhanced Daimons as opposed to what we were originally planning to create?"
Tomoe stopped his ranting and considered. "Well it would take about 3 months to get them to our originally planned level.... maybe...6 months Mistress Nine? But that would delay our plans."
Mistress Nine smiled. "Irrelevant, Pharaoh 90 can afford to be patient, what we can't afford is interlopers. We will make our daimons strong enough to ensure that your son will not interfere. "
Tomoe snarled as he slowly stroked the acid burns across his face. "Okay The Witches 5 and I shall get to work immediately and then Ranma will pay...he will PAY dearly for his insolence..... MWAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAH"
As Tomoe and Kaolinite turned to head to the underground lab, they both missed Mistress Nine frown. "Geramatou has become unstable... he is still useful for my plans, but his desire for vengeance is blinding him. I shall have to keep a careful eye on that fool, least his obsession prevents the coming of the silence. A pity though. Were Germatou still sane I could perhaps risk letting him use the humans legal means to recover my host, however there is to much a chance he would reveal our plans. Still he is useful.... for now."
With a smirk she turned and headed back to her room.
