     It was late when Kaji entered the diner. His contact apparently had been
waiting for some time. 

     "Kaji! You look like death warmed over." exclaimed the contact.

     Kaji slid into the opposite side of the booth where the contact had been
sitting. "I wish." he said, staring at the table.

     The contact looked quizzically at Kaji and replied, "What do you have to
report?"

     "I have to speak with Kihle."

     "What? You know that he only speaks when he wants to."replied the
contact, visibly shocked.

     "The.... information I have is too sensitive to send by normal channels."

     "Are you saying...."

     Kaji looked up. "I'm saying that what I have to say is for Kihle only."

     The contact could see the deep, dark circles under Kaji's eyes. "I'll.... 
see what I can do."



     Hours later, a blindfolded Kaji was brought before SEELE's secret
chambers. The guards exchanged passwords and the doors opened. Kaji was led
in and his blindfold removed.

     Before him was a long table in a darkened chamber. At the end of the
table sat Kihle. Kaji could tell that Kihle was not pleased.

     "Well, Kaji. What is so important that you must present your information
to in person?"

     Kaji shivered nervously. "It's about Ikari."


     "What has he done?"

     Kaji's head jerked about nervously. "It all started early yesterday, when I
was Investigating the Central Dogma.....

          It was getting late, and there were only a few more shafts to investigate in 
     the Dogma. Stopping for a minute to catch my breath, I heard approaching
     footfalls. Hiding, I waited and when the sounds stopped. Taking a chance, 
          I looked up and saw Ikari slipping into one of the shafts that I had not yet 
     gone into.

     A few minutes passed, and I got up out of the shaft I was in, and went over
          to the shaft that Ikari had descended into.  Entering it, I saw that it ran for
     several miles downward, and at its end, a circular door awaited me. 

          Opening it, I found that it opened into a large cavern. Walking into the
     cavern, I.... saw things dancing a depraved dance before a hideous, black-
     winged statue. Off to one side, I saw a dark, murky pool, which is where I
     saw Ikari talking to one of those.... things.

     "Greetingsss, Ikari." spake the thing in a hideous, inhuman voice. "I trusst
     things are well on your end?"

     "Yes, things are well, will Great Cthulhu rise soon?" replied Ikari.

     "The Great One will awaken in one week, as you humans measure time.
     Ia! Ia Cthulhu Ftaugn!"

     "Ftaugn Cthulhu Ftaugn!" replied Ikari.

     Hiding, I waited until Ikari had left before ascending to the surface. When
          I made it back into the Central Dogma, I quickly made arrangements to
     speak with our go-between, and here I am.

     Kihle looked at Kaji sternly for a moment. "Is that all?'

     Kaji laughed madly and said nothing at all.

     The guards looked him over and said, "Either he's wiped his mind, or he's
gone totally insane, sir" in reply to Kihle's unspoken query.

     "Take him away."

     "Should we kill him?" asked a guard.


     "No. He's done his work well. Besides, he's not in a condition to
something about this, gentlemen. Leave him in the usual place. That is all."

     The guards left, taking Kaji with them.

     Kihle stood up and left the room. After walking through a series of
passages, he entered a hidden chamber. Inside, an insect-like fungus stood
waiting, flashing colors lighting up its human brain-like head.

     The thing turned and spoke in a hideous, clicking approximation of
human speech. "How goes the plan, Kihle?"

     "Not so good. Ikari is league with the Deep Ones. They plan to raise
Cthulhu before the final sacrifices can be performed."

     "That would change everything. Something -will- be done about this.
Nothing must interfere with our plan to release Yog-Sothoth into this
world."replied the creature, shuddering with rage.

     "Ikari will be dealt with. The Third Impact will occur, allowing Yog-
Sothoth to enter this reality. You can count on that, my Mi-go friend."

               The End...... Or is it?






Ash: It's amazing what comes up while trying to plan a fic. This twisted Idea
came about during my research for a Sailor Moon story that is  still  in the
plotting stages.  It's amazing that certain anime series fit in so well with the
Cthulhu mythos.  Hell, someone could write a Ranma story about Taro
turning into a deep one because the drowned octopus spring was really a drowned 
Deep One spring. Maybe now I can get back to my other fics now.  --====================987654321_0==_
