Prologue: Recap

The morning sun shined in a room in suburban Paris. It was a small room with things still packed up in boxes along the walls since the family just moved in. Inside the room were several posters showing varies rock bands and other things that you would expect in a teenage boy's room. Along the other wall was a bed covered in blue and black sheets. Underneath the pile of sheets laid a young raccoon male. He was a good looking boy of about fifteen with dark blue-black hair and brown eyes that were closed in sleep.

All of a sudden an alarm clock went of causing the boy to wake with a start and he fell off of his bed. "Ow… damn it. I need a bigger bed. I keep falling off of this one," he muttered with irritation and looked towards the clock. "Six twenty… Damn… I woke up late again," he sighed. "Oh well, best get dressed." He picked himself up off the floor, grabbing the uniform that hung on his closet door.

He went out the door and noticed a note hanging on it:

Dear Al,
Me and your Mother are heading off to work early. Breakfast is in the microwave. Sorry.
Sincerely, your Father.

"Well… so much for that," he noted and went to the bathroom. He turned on the shower, letting the water get warm as he stripped off his night clothes. He hopped in the shower and let his muscles relax under the warm stream. As he was lathering his fur with soap he noticed a few bruises.

Damn. I knew I should have gone and listen to Juli when she told me there would be bruises, he sighed exasperated. I need a new job. Slaying demons was exciting at first but I'm tired of people asking why I always have bruises. They're gonna think my parents beat me.

He got out of the shower and pulled on a pair of black slacks, dragged a white short-sleeve dress shirt over his head and put on a pair of black dress-shoes. He then tied a black tie with the school's insignia at the bottom. He then brushed his hair into some semblance of order, brushed his teeth and headed downstairs with the full intention of eating his breakfast… until he saw a young girl Snow Leopard sitting on the table. She was in the same school uniform though hers consisted of a white blouse and a black skirt though with a black tie just like his.

"What are you doing here, Mulan?" The girl only shrugged.

"I'm making sure you didn't oversleep again," Mulan said as she got off the table.

"Well, I haven't, have I? As you can clearly see, I'm awake," he muttered as he grabbed his bag and winced with pain. Mulan noticed with shake of her head.

"That demon did a number on you, didn't he?" Alex nodded.

"How do you know if they're male or female? Kyo says nearly all demos are genderless…"

"Ha, ha, Al. You know what I meant. I know that they don't have a gender but I just refer to them as 'he'. A lot less confusing that way."

"Makes sense but did you walk here alone? You live on the other side of the neighborhood, don't you?"

"Ryo walked with me…" she mumbled with a slight blush. Alex raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, you two dating now?" he questioned and she made a small sound in the back of her throat.

"No! We're just friends. Besides I don't think he likes me that way. Have you seen how the female inspectors look at him? He's only seventeen and those twenty-something year old bimbos are all panting after him!"

"Why if I didn't know better Mulan, I'd say you were jealous."

"I'm not jealous… but Ryo's so much younger that all of those women and I just find it weird," Mulan quibbled. "Now, let's get to school." And she walked out the kitchen with Alex right behind her after stuffing a piece of toast in his mouth. As they went up the street, Alex saw a young male wolf with fur of pure white and hair even darker than Mulan's and the most interesting thing about him was his eyes: one was blue the other green. He wore a pair of blue jeans, a black T-shirt, and a worn jean jacket. It was Ryo Kanuke, the youngest lieutenant in Interpol history at only seventeen years old. He was an inspector when Alex first met him but he got promoted about two months ago.

"Hey Alex, good to see you again. Doing well?" he said politely. He was always polite… always. It baffled Alex sometimes.

"Yeah, doing great. Got a few bruises here and there but I am going to see if Juli can brew me up a potion or something."

"You could just call Galen. He'd be glad to fix those up."

"No, I won't bother anyone if I don't have to," Alex replied. "Juli is a good potion maker and I trust her."

"You don't trust Areleous?" the young police lieutenant asked.

"It's not that but it went from it being us and them to being one of them. Doesn't that sound a bit odd?" Ryo only shook his head.

"It was like that only because of Neyla. Father is rebuilding the Order to back the way it was since everything's settled down."

"Oh didn't he get promoted to Commander after Neyla killed the original?" Ryo nodded. "Wow, must be hard…" the raccoon thought out load. Ryo laughed again.

"You think that's the hardest job you can get? He wouldn't have been able to get the job anyways if Kyo hadn't agreed to return as No. XIII."

"How is Kyo? His greatness doesn't talk to us lowly mundane anymore," Alex grumbled. He and Kyo had an interesting friendship. They weren't really friends but they were maybe what you could call acquaintances… maybe. Ryo gave him a sharp look.

"He's busy being a general. It doesn't only mean killing powerful demons. He's also has to do the judicial duties and organization of the lower levels. The generals form the highest military court in the magical realm." As they reached the large school, the three of them noticed a large group of uniformed girls gathering towards the front of the door whispering.

Alex looked and saw a tall silver furred wolf with short spiky silver hair that went down just past his chin. His eyes were the most striking and familiar a bright blue-grey that reflected boredom by the attention. His face was haughty and somewhat arrogant.

Alex knew that face all too well. He traveled around the world with this boy, the Order's No. XIII, 'The Shining Angel', Kyomora Cedric Maximilian.

"Holy shit… what's Kyo doing here?" the young raccoon muttered. "And why is he dressed up as a student?" he said in shock at noticing the uniform and some books underneath his arm.
