She had seated herself in her brother's office with a frown on her face. After what she had just heard at the cave, she had to look into this for herself. Was this the power source that plagued at her mind? Or was there something more?
And most important of all.
WHY HADN'T SHIZUMA TOLD HER?!
A vein in her head pulsed and she clenched her fist. "No... I won't kill him... just have a chat with him..." Her eyes clenched shut behind her spectacles. "Eye of Hathor... what is all of this mad business? For the love of Ra..." She opened her eyes and walked around to the back of the desk. She took a seat in her brother's desk chair and crossed her legs, putting her fingers together in a very diabolical manner as she waited for Shizuma to come into the office. She could wait for a very long while.

Conversation could be heard down the hall as Shizuma approached his office. He was helping a student with something before he told him good bye. As he left, Shizuma opened his door and turned to see none other than his Sister there waiting for him. And for the first time in her life...she did not look happy at all. There were two things that this could mean. Either he was in trouble or someone did something to her and she needed to vent....personally he hoped for the latter. Closing the door locking it just in case Shizuma looked at his Sister as he said.
"Good Afternoon, Nee-chan, how are you?" asked Shizuma in a cheery voice that was happy to see his Sister.

"Spiffing." She had picked up that phrase in England when she had lived there. The rare time she said it meant she wasn't spiffing at all.
Her eyes trailed over to the door and she made sure it was locked before her eyes snapped back to Shizuma.
"How have you been lately? Anything interesting?" She asked with a tone that seemed dripping with poisoned sweetness.

"Well besides meeting friends old and New, not too much." said Shizuma as he looked at his sister with a smile.
He was trying to keep up a smile but at this point he started to realize that something was wrong. He had heard that tone before with other girls he knew in his life and the fact it was being used against him caused him concern. He was starting to wonder what exactly she had found out that was granting the use of this tone with him.

"Oh. Really." She got up from her seat and walked around to Shizuma with her hands behind her back, looking almost like a drill seargeant as she did so. Her eyes narrowed as she looked Shizuma straight in the eye with the evil glare of doom. It was that look that older women seemed to be pro at, but most of the time they used it with their husbands or wives. She used it with her older brother.
"So... no mysterious gems of Egypt have turned up in your office? No Shadow Realm business? No Roxxan Greenfield accidentally letting slip to me that you have some weird Eye of Hathor that controls people's minds just like your Millennium Rod used to? Really. Was I not supposed to figure out? Because she seemed to be quite secretive to me." Mizuki's tone had gotten even scarier by the second. "Does your wife even know about the fact that you're getting screwed up in that business again? How about your kids? Did you think that perhaps you were putting them in danger?"

Shizuma's eyes widened as his sister spoke. He should have known that this was coming. The fact that he found the Eye of Hathor by accident and not told his sister was obviously a mistake now. He had kept it under wraps to keep his sister and his wife and kids out of this.
"OKay okay...you got me pegged nee-chan." said Shizuma as he reached into his pocket and pulled out the Eye of Hathor showing his sister the jewel. "Roxxan wasn't supposed to tell you...that was my responsibility. I was going to tell you more when I finally knew more about this Eye of Hathor. But if it can do what it says it can do...it's better in the hands of someone who wont abuse it's power. I didn't tell my wife because I didn't have any intent of drawing her into this...and the same for my Children."

"Well at least you thought that way." Mizuki said with a tired sigh. She started pacing around the room. "The only reason Roxxan told me was because of the energies I've been feeling around the campus... and if this Eye is the explanation, then that would explain it." She didn't tell him but she didn't think that it was. The aura off him was different from what she had been seeing. She chuckled. "Then Roxxan let it slip." She looked back and sighed again. "Just... be careful, alright? Keep in mind, there's a lot more at stake this time around. Remember that. And if you need help..." She shrugged. "Well, I think I'll know, but give me a call anyway."

"The Energies around campus? What do you mean by that? I've sworn that I've gotten faint traces...but nothing really solid to go on. I'll be careful, nee-chan to be sure. It's not like it's the first time I've been called on to protect people." said Shizuma as he looked at his sister. "And don't worry, I will call on you if I need help nee-chan."
This was something that concerned him...once again magic was filling his body and becoming part of his life. It was now that he was starting to wonder if his son and/or daughter had inherited magic from him or his wife.

((If they have then you have to make them characters! *evil dictator laugh*))
"You've never been able to sense Shadow Magic like I have Shizuma." Mizuki said with a sad smile. "Even with that monster..." That monster referred to her yami, Masami. "... even with her gone, I still pick up traces like mad. It was what caused me to travel for all these years and run away. Everytime I caught a trace, I packed my bags and left. And trust me, this place is crawling with it, and if it doesn't all start making a ruckus right now, it will soon." She looked out the window.
"It's times like these that I wished Masami and I hadn't separated. I could help you... but the Penumbra's time has set." The woman looked old now, the few worry lines on her face showing in the sunlight streaming through the window. Along with her violet-white hair, she looked to be old. Very old. She looked back at Shizuma.
"Whatever you do... just do your best. If it comes down to anything, I'll make sure Corrona and the kids are safe."

"I appreciate that a lot, Mizuki. If there was anyone I could count on to protect my kids and my wife, I would trust you to do so. Though I wouldn't count on having to do that for a while. Though I have wondered at times...why is it that all the mind control magic falls into my lap?" asked Shizuma as he walked over and stood next to his sister. "Though I would appreciate it if you didn't leave...we just got back together and I'd hate to lose my sister so soon again."

Mizuki smiled over at Shizuma. Damn. The man had gotten taller then her, and she had just noticed. Ah well.
She reached up and ruffled his hair. "I'm not going anywhere Shizuma, don't worry about that. I've got something to anchor me here. But..." She shrugged. "I don't know why you get all the mind control... perhaps the Items know you won't abuse it?"
((Translation: We were going through choosing the people based on personality, couldn't find a controlling personality and went, "Shizuma's had the Millennium Rod and he's the least likely to abuse it... LET'S SLAP IT ON HIM!" ^_^))

"I'm glad you aren't going anywhere. It's been far to long nee-chan. You know...you're right, I guess the magic knows I don't abuse mind control. I just hope there a time wont come where I will have to invoke the power of this gem." said Shizuma as he looked at his Sister. "Well since you know now...tell me do you know if there are more gems out there like my own?"
(I see...^_^. I guess you should be glad I haven't remade Satoshi yet)

((Actually I am glad because once you do I'll have a reason to remake Razuli and then I'll be inclined to remake her. XD))
She shook her head. "No, yours is the first that I've heard about actually. Though I might suggest seeing Linnis about it. She might know about something." Mizuki said as she leaned against the windowsill.

"I might just do that...it has been a while since the two of us have really gotten together to have conversation with our old Fearless Leader of the Abjects, ne?" asked Shizuma as he looked at his Sister with a smile.
The fact that he was taller than her surprised him a lot. He figured they would still be about the same height as they were before.
"Nee-chan...there is one other thing I've been curious about...do you think my children might have inherited some of the magic from me and Corrona? It's been a question on my mind ever since I found this gem."

She thought for a moment and then she shook her head. "It could be genetic, but it's not necessarily going to affect your kids. Remember, you and I were tangled up in magic and still are, but Ami never seemed to have the ability." She looked over at her older brother with a small smile. "Why do you ask? Secretly hoping one of them do?"

"In a way yes...and in a way no. Yes because there are so many good things that can be done with the magic. And no because of the danger that could come of them having magic flowing through their veins. I mean look at us...how much did we get into? And yet...how much were we able to do for people as well because of the magic in our blood." said Shizuma as he looked at his sister.
