After the girl had told him about the Seer, Shippo wanted to contact her as ast as possible. According to her, he had to find Morte, the girl he had met before. Shippo jumped across and landed on the roof of a building next to Club Ether. He tried his best to make sure no one saw him jump across the buildings in the daylight. Shippo would wait forever if he had to till he saw Morte show up.

Morte sat upon the roof on a cushion at a traditional kotatsu, waiting for anyone who was brave enough to climb the fire escape or jump roofs, in some cases, to make an appointment with the "fortune teller" that had become popular recently. She wore the same dark clothes that Shippo had met her in before, only this time, she wore a porcelain mask with golden swirls upon it, as well as a black lace veil over her hair. "Ah, so you've come to make an appointment have you?" She asked pointedly not even turning her head in Shippo's direction.

Shippo was taken off guard when she spoke. He jumped from the roof he was on and landed not too far away from Morte. "Yesss, I have." Shippo's snake tail said. Shippo was determined to see this Seer.

"You will need to bring a payment that is equal to what you wish to know. Meruhesae cannot answer your question without proper compensation. I can give you a close estimate if you tell me what you wish to know." Morte explained calmly, her voice hardly above a whisper.

Shippo didn't expect this. However, he was willing to do what it took to find out. "I want to know who I am and why I am here." Those were the biggest questions on his mind right now.

Morte wrote them down quickly on a small piece of paper before asking if that was it. "If that is, the price will be very great, you will have to work for us. Those are questions that require a great deal of effort to answer." She explained without even raising her voice above a whisper.

"I'll do anything I have to. If it's to find out who I am, I'm willing to take any risk." Shippo said, his voice sounding stern and strong. He really did mean what he said, and would plan to do whatever they had planned for him.

"You may see the Seer in three days. Until then, find some decent ramen and eat well." Morte stated calmly. "Now begone, there are others who have need to come here that cannot while another customer is here."

Shippo didn't say anything. He made a mental not of what Morte had said. He wasn't even sure if her could trust her but he would have to for now. He jumped off the roof into the alleyway and left.

Meruhesae walked out onto the roof, dressed very different from Morte, her dress was rather low cut and the straps barely even held up the dress. She smiled, and leaned over Morte's shoulder. "Just as I predicted, the one with the snake would come." She whispered pressing her fan to her lips as she smirked. "Well, then, we shall see what he is able to do. He may be like Lord Raenef, the advisor to Madame." It was obvious her personality was very different from the meek and humble one that she usually showed to everyone. "Things are getting interesting, and the power of the Zodiac is starting to glow. Even the constellations of the Zodiac in the sky have been rather bright lately."
"Meruhesae, don't forget, you're supposed to be hiding." Morte chided the woman seriously.
"I know, Madame doesn't want my powers being exploited for Chaos's plans." Meruhesae sighed.
