Omi glanced behind him once more before bringing Aya-chan inside and closing the door. He was going over every possible reason he could think of as to why Schwartz would have been there. He looked at her frowning a little. Schwartz had taken Yohji? That would explain why Ran and Ken were going after them. And also explain why he hadn't seen Yohji out there at all.

"They took Yohji-kun?" Omi asked wanting to confirm his thoughts. "You're lucky they weren't interested in you." Omi said. Though he doubted that was a comforting thought at the moment. But in Omi's mind it was a good thing, considering the last time they took an interest in Aya-chan they had needed her for some kind of ritual.

Aya nodded. "You should go after them," she urged. Outside, she could hear a car peeling away from the garage. "They're hurt." She paused, thinking back on the situation outside. "All of them. Ken-Kun got injured, and Ran... was stumbling." She glared at Omi, giving him a challenging look. "And you're the only one who's not hurt, so you shouldn't be sitting around in the house with me!"

"They know what they're doing." Omi said, though he did sound like he was considering going after them. He looked back at Aya. "The people that were here, how many did you see?" Under normal cercumstances he would have gone with Ken and Ran. But the fact that Aya-chan was here, Omi had a pretty good feeling as to what Ran's reaction would be if he found out that Omi left Aya-chan alone to follow them.

"U-um..." Aya-Chan thought for a second. "Two... the same two that I saw last time." She frowned, staring at Omi. "There are more of them?"

[celtic-kitsune.livejournal.com]

"There's four of them." Omi said. "I don't want to take the chance leaving you alone if the other two are around anywhere near here." Though Omi doubted they were, it was better to be safe then sorry.

"Ran-kun and Ken-kun will be fine. And I'm sure they'll get Yohji-kun and be back." He wondered if it would be a comfort to know that if Schwartz had really wanted to hurt them they could. But he decided against it. Information that kept Omi from being to panicked didn't necessarily mean Aya-chan would take it the same way.

Aya-Chan bit down on her thumb anxiously. "Except... there's four of them." She was talking to herself now; Omi was merely another object in the room. "And there's two of them. Not counting Yohji-San of course. And... they're hurt. Pretty badly. Ran looked like he could hardly walk."

She was bitting down so hard on her thumb now that she could taste blood. "You have to go after them. I'll be fine. I could... go with you. Or... or hide. Or something."

Omi sighed running fingers through his hair as he tried to think. He couldn't exactly follow them now, he had no idea where they'd gone. And now thinking about it Omi wondered if Ran and Ken were really able to follow Schwartz. To his knowledge none of them had ever tried to follow the other assassin team.

"Yes, under normal circumstances I would have to go with them." Omi started not sure of everything he was going to say. "But I'm doing what I think is best at the moment. Schwartz took off with Yohji-kun. Ran-kun, and Ken-kun went to get him back. The fact that Schwartz was anywhere near here is unsettling. Though it's doubtful the other two were here, I don't want to take that chance." Omi looked thoughtful for another minute.

"Though there might be something I can do to help. Provided Yohji-kun has his cellphone with him. And it's actually turned on, I might be able to track where he is."

A glimmer of hope. "Could you? Try." Aya-Chan knew she was being somewhat of a pest by now, but any chance of helping out was good enough for her.

[celtic-kitsune.livejournal.com]

Omi nodded. "It's at least worth a try. Come on, the computer downstairs is the best to use." He said, since it was the one set up for this kind of stuff. He took Aya's hand leading her downstairs with him.

Hurrying over to the computer Omi powered it up. Omi waited for everything to turn on before he started his computer magic. The first thing he would have to do to find Yohji's cellphone was hack into a satellite. It wasn't easy to get in undetected but he had managed it a time or two. He just seriously hoped Yohji had his phone with him.

Aya-Chan peered over Omi's shoulder nervously. She watched him work on the computer; it seemed... easy enough. Then again, things that looked easy almost never were that way when you actually sat down and did it.

"Do you think..." she paused, wondering if the topic could be explored. "You could teach me to do stuff like this? I really want to help out in some way."

[celtic-kitsune.livejournal.com]

Omi paused in his typing long enough to look back at Aya, a faint look of surprise on his face before he smiled.

"Sure, I can teach you. Actually, this right here is easy, once you know how to get into the satellite without being detected." Omi said turning back to the computer and typed in a few things, a small box appeared in the top right hand corner and Omi pointed to it.

"This is us right here. The satellite does most of the work of finding people, at least, their cellphone signal. As long as it's on we should be able to track it. Though it's easier to track when it's in use." Omi explained as he continued typing.

Aya watched in awe as Omi worked. Really, what began seeming like an easy job was actually a lot harder when you got into the little details.

"So..." she blinked, staring at the screen, almost hypnotized. "What if Yohji-San isn't wearing his cellphone...?" A pause, and then, she pointed at a moving figure on the screen. "And is that the others?"

[celtic-kitsune.livejournal.com]

Omi bit his lip. "...then...we'll have to think of something else." Omi said. He looked at the moving figure that Aya pointed to. "Hai, that should be them" Omi zoomed out on the screen trying to find Yohji's, but he didn't see it anywhere. But he didn't stop looking.
