-Shot-
"Y-You filthy liar...", the bloodied creature looked at him with hateful eyes, as his companions were, before more shots were heard, making the creatures going still.
"Now, now, I wasn't lying when I told you that humans are weak and coward creatures", the man of chocolate hair and grey eyes smiled, as a heavy rain washed the blood of the creatures away, "But guys like you need to disappear, nothing personal"
He took his beaded charm, picking some simply flowers that were growing on the hard asphalt, muttering words unknown to the human language.
"I'm deeply sorry", he looked at the small flowers as he dropped them on the corpses, who instantly lit on fire, "You, beautiful and frail flowers did your best to grow where no one could only to end dead by my hands…"
He watched a bit more as the supernatural fire ate the monsters' flesh easily, turning them quickly into white ashes that disappeared with the water.
~I want you! I want you Babe!
"Oh, it seems to be a call from the boss", he grinned, as if the grim scene in front of him never happened, "Goodnight boss, what can I do for you tonight?~ Eh? Ok, I will be here"

"What kind of monster… Are you?", the woman with the lower body of a giant spider hissed, as her severed legs were on the floor with the rest of her body struck by giant shards of ice.
"A magician of course", the blond gave an indifferent gaze as he crunched the spider's head with his cane, "Now you, you are a worthless creature"
He was going to call a day and go back to his mansion, but his cell phone started to shake , which indicated that he had a new mission.
"Camus speaking… Yes, I will be there on a second", he nodded, the blue gem of his cane glowing as he made a circle on the air, making a portal appear.

"Why…? To kill every single of us…", the beautiful female begged, someone that could pass as human if not for her horns or surreal beauty.
"I don't have anything against your kind", the cyan haired male answered, a red glow taking form on his hand, "It's just that your kind can't live without killing something, so it was necessary to wipe you out"
"But… Argh!", the creature let an anguished cry as a weird energy shot from her.
Ring~
"… It seems the boss want something", The cyan haired male, answered the phone, "Yes? Hum… You need me to… Alright, I will try"
-00-
The silver haired male grumbled as he put a plaster on his wound while going to the meeting room.
Their boss never called them to such small and important missions to deal with small flies, the one month novices would be enough to deal with that crap! That was why he overworked himself and got hit by a stupid small demon.
"Ugh, I really need to catch a nap", he frowned, entering the room, "What it is boss?"
He paused when he met two familiar faces.
"… What are these two doing here?"
"I will explain everything as soon as Mikaze-kun arrives", explained the obnoxious director, who used glasses even if they were on a closed place and was night.
The door creaked, and the cyan haired male appeared, shaking his head negatively.
"It didn't work", he spoke, ignoring the questioning gazes, "I stored a lot of energy, but it didn't work"
"I see… So it was as I suspected"
"Hum… Sorry, Shining-san, but what you're talking about?", the brunet of the name Reiji asked.
"I assigned my best man to be in charge of our 'Special guest'", Shining answered, "But one after another failed their mission"
"Is that a powerful and violent demon?", asked Ranmaru crossing his arms.
"Yes, it's a powerful entity", Saotome nodded, "Every time I used the white seal"
"The white seal?", now it was Camus frowning, "That's a strong power meant to be used when the user want to override the sealed creature desires with his own. What kind of creature would require something so powerful?"
"The creature isn't hostile per say, but that is the problem", their boss explained, "The users must override her feelings of not wanting to fight so she can fight"
"You aren't the kind to force someone doing something they don't wish, even if they are freaks like us", Ranmaru arched an eyebrow.
"That was necessary", the boss shrugged, "There were many attacks of strongest demons that our agents couldn't handle, and most of them being of that trio alone"
"Sumeragi Kira, Nagi Mikado and Eiichi Ootori"
"Yes", Shining nodded, "And that's why we need to use her"
"… If she isn't a violent creature then why the agents had trouble imposing their will? We aren't the kind to be weak willed, and if they are the best then they hearts are strong enough"
"That's because they developed feelings for that thing", explained Ai, "I tried to erase all traces of these feelings, but I couldn't even do it with one of them. No matter how much feelings I sucked there was still more left and I suspect that I wouldn't be able to suck it all"
"Really? Our agents fell for something stupid as love?", Ranmaru was pissed, wondering how these agents could be so moronic to fall for something like that, "Who are these idiots?"
"… They are our kouhais", Ai answered to the surprise of he others, "All of them"
"Hum~ I would understand if Otoyan fell for something like this, but Tokiya too? Now that's a surprise", Reiji whistled, impressed.
"Humph, trust Cecil to be a moron and mess up", Camus looked very annoyed as he lost some of his precious time to teach only to be for nothing as the idiot ruined his mission, which gave him a bad name too!
"That serious stuck up and flirt too?", now Ranmaru felt veins popping on his face as now he knew the idiots turned to be his kouhais, "What is she? A succubus?"
"No and no", Saotome negated, "Because they became attached to her they stopped using the seal and refused to force her to fight, which made them almost lose their lives in many occasions"
"I don't believe it", Ranmaru started pinching the bridge of his nose, feeling a headache coming from intense stress, "So the reason we need to work even harder is because these idiots messed up and needed to be taken out of action?"
"Yes, it's troublesome indeed", Shining agreed, "That's why I summoned you four, the top agents that would hardly be swayed away as you are aware of the consequences"
"Oh, I see", Reiji looked interested, "One by one failed so now it must be four to contain her right?"
"I was too naïve to let one person to override her emotions", he nodded, "So now you four will restrain her with white seals"
"Hum~ Been a while since I last worked with you guys~", Reiji grinned, being completely ignored by the others, "Wow! How cold!"
"Let's just have this done with", Camus nodded, "Where's the creature?"
"Accompany me"

Whatever they thought that they would meet was far from what they expected.
Shining Saotome opened the door and they entered a white room with big windows (that they sensed that had a barrier so nothing would enter nor escape), there was nothing special about the room, nor did it resemble a prison.
And the supposed powerful creature as just a frail looking girl that looked at the window in a wishful way.
"Nanami Haruka", Saotome called, which made the girl turn.
Reiji whistled, even if she wasn't as stunning as many succubus that he took care of, she sure had a charm on her own, with silk looking red locks tickling at her exposed milk skin, long and delicate fingers place on her lap and gorgeous eyes like liquid gold, mixed with a tint of phosphorescent green.
'She has an otherworldly aura, but different from other creatures it isn't used to increase the impact of her looks', the undertaker analyzed, 'But is enough to perceive her as special even if she would look plain for non-human creatures'
"These four will be your new caretakers"
"I see…", she started to fidget, looking too shy for a supposed powerful entity, "How… How are they faring?"
"If you mean our kouhais that got the mission to be your caretaker they got dispensed after they failed their duty", Ai answered, which made the girl visibly flinch.
'Wow, as direct as always', Reiji rolled his eyes.
"They are going to be punished, and I will make sure to give the proper education to these idiots", Camus frowned.
'Oy, are you guys forgetting what Saotome-sama said? If she's powerful then she can pretty much blast us to oblivion if we piss her too much'
"Hey, hey, now don't take what Camus said too seriously", Reiji chuckled, "We aren't the bad guys here, so we won't do something too harsh"
"Oh… I see…", she dropped her gaze.
"My, my, you seem to not believe me", he shook his head, "Did my kouhais treat you badly? I doubt Otoyan would ever do that but Tokiya can be mean sometimes~"
"N-No, they treated me very well"
"Uhum~ Good, good", Reiji nodded, "We can be a bit harsh, but that's because we get our priorities straight, my name is Kotobuki Reiji, but I wouldn't mind if you call me Reiji"
"Reiji, you're getting too friendly with her", Ranmaru frowned, "My name is Kurosaki Ranmaru and by NO MEANS, I want you to call me by my first name, it's Kurosaki for you"
"Mikaze Ai", the cyan haired male answered shrugging, "I don't care the way you call me"
"Camus, and we won't ever talk in our missions or outside of it", the blond frowned, which made the red haired girl cower a bit.
'Oh well, here it goes my hard work to appear pleasant', Reiji shook his head, 'One day these guys will be blasted by their bad temper'
"Nanami Haruka, it's time", Saotome said with his grave and strong voice.
The girl nodded, closing her eyes, as the older man muttered some words, a fierce red glow appearing around Nanami, with the strange runes flowing of the circle to her skin, disappearing on the spot where her heart should be.
"Very well, now I bind your heart to the new contractors", Saotome stopped chanting, making scrolls made of runes appear from her heart, in four different strings, that connected with the hand of each member of the veterans, "Now state your names"
'She seems eerie calm about having her will taken', Camus looked intently at the mysterious girl, trying to find any traces of her faking her actions.
"Camus"
'Hum~ To be truly honest she seems resigned', Reiji felt sorry for the poor girl, but there was nothing he could right? It was his job.
"Kotobuki Reiji"
'It will be useful. I barely can fight with enemies that don't have enough will power to absorb'
"Mikaze Ai"
'You aren't going to fool me like our naïve kouhais'
"Kurosaki Ranmaru"
"From this day forwards she will reply to your summoning calls", Shining finished, the runes disappearing and making a white circled tattoo with white runes appearing on their hands, "She will not leave any of you behind as long there's dangers, so don't rely too much on her if your partners are in danger"
Now it was time to start the true hunt.

Hello!*get pushed from a cliff*
Ouch! Ouch! I know! I have too many fanfics to update, but I couldn't take this idea from my head and I never had enough confidence in myself to write any fics focused on Quartet Night, so I thought that I could at least give a try right? ^^
Ah, and Reiji's ringtone is his own theme song XD
