Shadows and Letter

                                    

                                          
Izumi would be learning more about magic from Count as she wrote down everything from him.
She was looking over her information as Count was preparing tea that night.
Then the phone rang.
"I'll be right back, Izu."
"Okay!"
He picked up the phone.....
"Hello, Count. This is Mr. Wong. So what the hell is this? I paid for a tiger!" A angry man said.
"You're not satisfied with the merchandise?" Count asked.
"I made  A complete fool of myself in front of everyone last night. I tell them they are going to see a tiger and what do they see? A stupid painting!''
".......I see. So you broke the contract?" Count smiled.
"Hey, there's no..huh?" The man said as the painting behind him rustled and a tiger actually came out.
"What is this, a joke?!"
"Not at all. It's what we promised you. It is the last remaining tiger of its kind." Count said as he heard the man panicking. "But since you breached the terms to not show it to anyone under any circumstances, we can't assume responsibility for the consequences." Count said as he hung up and Mr. Wong was left to a gruesome fate.

The next day....
Officers were at Wong's residence after a maid had called in hysterics.
That he was found mangled and torn apart.
"Man, craziest thing I've seen." One pro hero said.
"Yeah, the police said he looked like he was attacked by a pack of wild dogs." Another said.
"You kidding? With that much damage? Even if it was from a quirk, a human can't do that much damage. I heard from the coroner that it had to be something bigger. Like a tiger." A third pro said.
"No way, aside from a quirk, how are you gonna find one in the city?" The first hero asked.
-----------------
A young man was sitting in a police station looking over certain files.
'Every  Unsolved unusual and unnatural death in the last few years.  One victim was torn apart by an animal species unknown, one before was drained of blood, another was found with a strange lizard as he was dead. They are all different but every case had two things in common. Each victim was a criminal and before they died, they all purchased a strange animal from a certain pet shop.'
"Still looking over those old cases? Well, to honest we had no luck on a previous case. The lizard had an autopsy and it's not poisonous. Probably a rare species, not in any reference book either. As for Wong, we deduced that he got some animal from the black market but probably had some quirk that was dangerous. All his windows were securely locked as well as the doors. All his employees, including the maid that found him have an airtight alibi." A cat headed officer, Sansa said.
The homicide officer sighed.

Izumi and Kero was with Count as they went
to a forest park with the kitsune woman leading them.
"So people said that a strange occurrence happened here?"
"Yeah, a figure in a Cloak had been spotted around here. One stupid rookie hero thought it was a villain and attempted to attack, only to be halted by his shadow being captured. In addition, the trees started moving on their own." The kitsune woman, Aizu, said as they stopped.
"The first one has to be Shadow. He can control the shadows of people. The other one might be Haunt as they can control inanimate objects. Haunt can possess people too." Kero said as he sensed a familiar presence. "And their close."
That was when they spotted Shadow and the trees moving around it.
"So how do we capture them?" Izumi asked.
"Well, I remember Sakura got him once he was weakened by sunlight. And Haunt was caught with Siege. But we don't have him yet." Kero said.
"Good thing I can provide light, being a fire Kitsune." Aizu said as she launched a ball of fire in the sky. Then it erupted into light, making Shadow weak.
Next, Izumi used Tame to calm Shadow and surprisingly, Haunt down.
"Alright, Izumi, you can do it!" Kero said as Izumi nodded.
"Key of the Star, With powers burning bright, Reveal the staff, and Shine your light! Release!" Izumi activated the staff and steeled her courage.
"Forces from the Era of Old, Return to the form that you were meant to be in! SAKURA CARD!" Izumi said as her staff activated and the Shadow and Haunt returned to their card forms.
"Very good work, Izumi." Count smiled.
Izumi was proud of herself too.
The next day would bring a huge change in her life.

A special letter came in.

Izumi showed her desire to go to this school, but Inko was unsure.
"I've been there myself madam, and I wouldn't worry. As long as she keeps her grades up, everything will be paid for her." Count explained.
With some Persuasion, Izumi was going to CLAMP Academy.
