Plot:
In the capital of Ame no Kuni, strange happenings occur at the dead of night. What was first thought to be simple pranks within the city were actually traced back to the children of Yokoburi. How could these small and innocent kids do such deeds? Further investigation made the case all the more puzzling. When the midnight bell chimed, several children all at once would rise from their beds and leave their houses, holding naught but a shining deck of cards in their hands. They would then disappear from all sight and mysterious pranks would be carried out nearby. At dawn, they would be found unconscious at the scene of the crime, sleeping as if nothing had ever happened. Upon waking, they claimed that the last thing they remember was the sound of a divine melody being playing on a piano.
This keeps reoccurring once a week on the same day, with different children every time. The citizens of the city grow more fearful and confused every day, worrying for what might happen to their beloved children. The pranks are starting to cross the border into full fledged crimes, with destruction and injuries becoming more prevalent. Finally the Daimyo has ordered the shinobi of Amegakure to come investigate this mystery. Upon investigation by the help of an secretive civilian, an pattern has been spotted within the movements of these children. Rumors of an dark cathedral appearing in an empty space also seem to be connected with these incidents, as one can hear piano coming from the building, yet it only appears to be a mirage when trying to enter. The Daimyo wants the shinobi to find the four children, discover their secrets and then unlock the way to the Cathedral, where the mastermind of this incident seems to reside.

NPCs:
The Pianist: The one responsible for these deeds. Not much is known about this person, not even the gender, besides that his/her skill in music is of the highest level and must have some divine power in causing all of these incidents.
Nocturne: The name of the child possessed by the Composition of Night. Whispers of blood and lamenting rain are heard when he is near. An eye patch, a cigarette and the world is frozen.
Sonata: The name of the child possessed by the Composition of Life. An appearance of elegance, he gives off the aura of an nobleman. He swings his sword, and the sky itself hears his call.
Scherzo: The name of the child possessed by the Composition of Freedom. The invincible storm that knows no bounds, a wanderer that always goes back to where he belongs.
Etude: The name of the child possessed by the Composition of Duty. A sage of swords and rain, he has always known his duty. A failed curse, a dormant blood, a great protector.
Prelude: The name of the child possessed by the Composition of Dawn. He shows his nature with forgotten blood and peaceful heart. The Creator and the Trigger.
The Poet: The one who offers mysterious clues that no one else could find. Nothing else is known, except that he likes to give an helping hand, yet no one knows about his true intentions, making him all the more suspicious in how he knows so much.
Chief of Capital Affairs, Seion: The man responsible for taking care of the citizens of Yokoburi. He has constantly been stressed out by these incidents, especially since all the policemen he has sent have been soundly defeated each time. He is an capable fighter, the youngest yet to be promoted to this position.
