Chapter 9

"A few days ago, we talked about the three different ways that a Songstress can learn Song Magic," Tsubaki began, "the first way to learn Song Magic was to memorized a song of any language and imagine what type of Song Magic will be created. The second way is for the Songstress to be emotional in a time of need. And the third way is for a Songstress to create a song. Now I will ask a simple question," she glanced at everyone. "Have any of you heard of something called diving?"

The reactions Tsubaki got were mixed to say the least. Some of the female students, including Leila, fell out of their seats in shock with blushes on their faces. The rest of the female students either blinked in confusion, or immediately blushed at what their sensei had just said. Mikado and the rest of the male Songstresses blushed and averted their eyes away from anyone.

Tsubaki chuckled at the reactions she got. "From the reactions I'm getting, I say a good amount of you do know what diving is. However for those who do not know of what diving is. Then I will explain it."

Tsubaki watched as her students were slowly recovering from the shock. Once they were over their shock, Tsubaki continued, "Diving is one of the most common ways to get Song Magic, besides memorized a song or being emotional in a critical moment. Some people think that diving is almost similar as having a…intimate moment with someone we trust."

Tsubaki ignored the way that her students were now blushing and continued with the lecture.

Kenna blinked. "Hara-sensei assigned an assignment to all of you?" She asked and the two Songstresses nodded.

School had just ended and Kenna was walking with Mikado and Leila. The reason why the others weren't with them was because they had classroom cleaning duty to do. Kenna didn't know why students had to clean the classroom since it wasn't like that in America. Then again, she hadn't been in Japan for such a long time that she forgot some cultural things. An example of this is when she got into a car on the left side, expecting to get into the driving seat to drive the car, and instead got into the shotgun seat.

Her little brother laughed his ass off because she got into the wrong side of the car. Kenna tried to get him from the front seat, but was stopped by her mom, who gave both Kenna and her brother a good scolding. Kenna scratched the back of her head; that memory was both an embarrassing and funny moment in her life, she had to admit.

"So what assignment did Hara-sensei wanted you guys to do?" Kenna noticed the blushes on both Mikado's and Leila's cheeks. She raised an eyebrow, her curiosity growing by the second.

Mikado fidgeted. "She wants us to do at least one dive, to get some Song Magic."

Kenna eyes widened like eggs and she turned to Leila for confirmation. Leila nodded and the blush on her cheeks was increasing in redness. "S-She said that we need to complete at least one dive before the end of the semester…"

There was a pause between the three for a few seconds before Kenna broke it, "…So who are you two going to ask?"

"I d-" Leila was about to reply when Rindou came up to them.

"Hey Kenna-chan. You don't mind if I borrow Leila-chan for a bit, right?" Rindou asked and took a glance at Leila.

"Go right ahead, Rindou." Leila stared at Kenna with a surprise expression.

"Thanks Kenna." Kenna and Mikado watched as Rindou hauled a bewildered Leila away. Once the two were out of sight, Yoshiyuki came up to them.

"Have you seen Rindou? Today is obaa-san's birthday, and we're supposed to go get her a present." Yoshiyuki said. Kenna pointed in the direction that Rindou and Leila went. Yoshiyuki nods in appreciation at Kenna, and walks away from Kenna and Mikado to chase after Rindou.

"So who've you going to ask, Mikado? Have you already asked Masaomi?" Kenna inquired.

Mikado sighed. "Yes,"

"What was his answer?"

Mikado looked at her with a blank expression. "He said, 'Mikado. I maybe your best friend, but I like living right now.' Is what Masaomi said." Mikado deadpanned.

Kenna stared at Mikado. 'Wow. Mikado does a good deadpan expression.'

"So is there someone else you want to ask?" Kenna was honestly curious as to who Mikado was going to ask, to do the dive with him.

"Actually I'm going to ask Shizuo and Izaya." Mikado said and Kenna raised an eyebrow.

"Shizuo and Izaya?" Kenna had a feeling that she heard the name Shizuo before, but can't put her finger on it.

"Oh that's right. You've never met Shizuo or Izaya before, have you?" Kenna shook her head. "The two are…very dear people to me." Mikado said and blushed.

Kenna was about to ask a question, when a ringtone interrupted her. "Ah, that's my phone," Kenna reaches into her uniform blazer pocket and pulls out a black iPhone. She turned it on and smiled. She turned to Mikado. "It looks like my boyfriend is calling me." She said and answered it.

"I'll see you later, Mikado!" Kenna waved at Mikado and walked away to do a bit of talking with her boyfriend.

"Have you two heard the news?" Rin asked as Agana and Minoru entered her office.

Minoru raised an eyebrow. Black rimmed glasses rested on his nose. Rin looked up and saw that his sky blue eyes were gazing at her. "What news Rin-san?" Minoru asked as he and Agana sat on the couch.

Rin grabs a newspaper and throws it at Minoru. Minoru caught it rather clumsily and took a look at the headline. "'Killer Strikes Again!'?" Agana scoots closer to Minoru and peers over to check out the newspaper.

Rin nods. "It seems like two bodies were found in Nerima and the authorities suspect that it's the same person who committed these murders." Rin states and grabs a TV remote. She presses the green button on the TV remote and instantly, a television in front of the couch turned on.

Minoru's brow furrows at the newspaper. "It says here that the victims so far are female Songstresses,"

"It also says here, that authorities have found that the Songstresses had their wombs removed..." Agana eyes narrowed, "Almost in a surgical manner."

The atmosphere in the office went somber. The television was tune into a commercial for a movie that was coming out soon, and the noise the air conditioner was making was echoing throughout the office.

Rin sighed, "Time to get a new air conditioner…" she mumbled and got up. She walked to a refrigerator and opens the freezer door. "Any of you want some ice cream?"

"Sorry for dragging you with me, Leila-chan." Rindou apologized to Leila. Rindou and Leila were in Sunshine City Plaza. In Leila's hands was a custard crepe that had whip cream on the top.

"I don't mind…Rindou-senpai." Leila murmured and took a bite out of the crepe.

An awkward silence filled the air around them, and Rindou couldn't help but gulp. It wasn't like him to be nervous around a girl (maybe it's because he hasn't deal with a girl was not only shy, but also a bit anti-social). Heck, he known in school as the guy who can make girls swoon! Rindou's ears were twitching.

"Well, the reason why I brought you with me Leila is because obaa-chan's birthday is today." Rindou said and Leila looked at him with a curious expression.

"Why didn't you ask anyone else?" Leila inquired and Rindou shrugged.

"Don't know why. But, you seemed to be the right person to help me." Rindou replied.

"So what does your obaa-san like?"

"Well…she likes to cook, sewing, and collecting dolls." Rindou said. Leila stopped in mid-nibble and stared at him. "What?" Rindou couldn't help but be a nervous at the stare Leila was giving him.

"You said she likes to collect dolls, right?" Leila asked with a serious tone.

Rindou blinked. Was it just him, or was Leila showing some serious? All shyness was gone from her face and was instead replaced with a solemn expression.

Before Rindou knew it, Leila grabs his hand and drags him somewhere.

"How was your day at school, Mikado?" Shinra asked as Mikado entered the apartment.

"It was good." Mikado replied as he took off his shoes and put on a pair of blue slippers. Mikado noticed that on the kitchen countertop were several grocery bags. "Shizuo and Izaya are coming over for dinner tonight?" Mikado asked when he noticed that one of the grocery bags had two jugs of milk inside it.

"Yep, they seem to like visiting you Mikado." Shinra replied.

Mikado glanced at a clock to see that it was 5:00 PM. He then begins to put the groceries in the refrigerator and kitchen cabinets. While Mikado was doing this, Shinra had picked up the phone to call for takeout.

"Where are you going, Agana?" Minoru asked as Agana puts on her red leather jacket.

"Out for a while," Agana casually replied. Before Minoru could stop her, she was already gone.

He sighed and looked at Rin who merely chuckled at him. "Why does Agana act like this..?" Minoru questioned.

"It's because she doesn't know how to act around you," Rin stated. "That and the fact that she is anti-social, might have added to things."

Again, Minoru sighed and he slumped against the couch. Suddenly his laptop made a bing sound that made Rin raised one of her eyebrows. "Was that your laptop?" She asked.

"Ah, someone must be on chat." Minoru sat straight up. He moves the touchpad to make the screensaver vanish and checks to see who was on. "It looks like Kanra is in the chat room right now." While Minoru was typing away on his keyboard, Rin got up to search for something.

"Now, where in the hell did I put that hookah at..?"

"Hey is something wrong?" A male voiced asked Kenna. Kenna had stopped in her tracks when she saw Masaomi talking with a group of boys wearing yellow articles of clothing.

"Let me call you back, brother." Kenna says as she hangs up on her brother. And just in time for the group of boys to walk away from Masaomi. Once she couldn't hear their foot steeps, she walks toward Masaomi and lightly taps his right shoulder.

Masaomi flinched and turned to Kenna. "K-Kenna-senpai? When did you get here?" He asked a bit nervously.

"Just now," she said.

He slowly relaxed and his playful nature returned. "So what is a beautiful girl like yourself doing out here in the evening?"

Kenna giggled. "I'm just exploring for a bit, before I head home." She replied. Kenna was used to this type of playfulness, since her boyfriend likes to flirt with her a lot.

"Ah, is that so? Then why don't you let me show you around, Kenna-senpai?"

"Sure why not. But only for a bit because I have to get home soon."

Rindou blinked in confusion as he looked at the shop Leila dragged him to (he was surprise that she had managed to finished eating her crepe before they reached their destination). The shop had the words 'Valley of the Dolls' in silvery green coloring, and in a cursive font. Being display in the shop's windows, were dolls that almost reminded him of those dolls from the anime called Rozen Maiden. He turned to Leila, "Where have you taken me Leila-chan?" he asked a bit flabbergasted.

"You said that you needed help finding a present for your obaa-san," she looked the shop in front of them. "So I'll assist." Leila said and walks into the shop with Rindou in tow, ears perched up.

A woman with long bright blond hair that had a pinkish hue to it and light brown eyes looked up at Leila and smiled, "Why hello there Leila-chan! Is there anything you need?"

"Yes there is Hina-san," Leila glanced at Rindou. "What kind of female BJDs do you have right now?"

'BJD?' Rindou couldn't help but thought.

"Hmm…" Hina pondered for a bit before she answered, "we have in a few new models. Would you like to check them out?"

"Yes please," Leila said.

"Then be right back," Leila and Rindou watched as Hina went into the backroom.

Rindou stared at Leila. Although he was a bit confused as to what Leila was planning, his tail swung left and right in excitement.

A few seconds later, Hina came out of the back room with a couple of those dolls that were similar to the ones he saw on display in her arms. Hina puts the dolls on the glass counter and straights them up. The dolls were all female evidenced by Rindou when he saw the boobs. And they were all also nude too. He also noticed that the dolls had joints in places where a connected limb could bend, unlike some dolls where the arms and legs could bend in a certain way.

Leila nonchalantly hunched down at the dolls to examine them (without batting an eye, as if it was this was a normal occurrence), before she spotted a doll that caught her attention. The doll stood a good 60 cm in height; its skin was flesh colored that was slightly on the pale side, and he could see that the doll had anime-like facial features. The doll also had long carnation pink hair and violet eyes that had little bits of sliver in the irises. The female doll's cheeks were lightly dusted with pink and fuchsia purple eye shadow (at least what he thinks is eye shadow) was applied on the doll's eyelids. He could also see gray eyelashes on the doll.

Leila stood straight and looked at the doll for a bit, before she nodded. "What model is this BJD?" Leila asked.

"That is the Lola model that comes with this wig and a random color set of 14 mm eyes of your choosing," Hina answered.

"Acrylic, silicone, urethane, or glass?"

"Urethane eyes,"

"We'll take this doll." Leila said and Hina nodded. "Do you have any yukatas for the dolls?"

"We do in fact. Just let me go grab them." Hina walked to a shelf and slid the glass door open. She pulls out a box and returns to them with it. Hina sets the box down onto the glass counter and opens it. Rindou watched as Leila searched inside the box for a bit, before she pulled out a miniature yukata. The yukata was a pale pink that had the length of a real yukata, except it was a smaller version. With the pale pink yukata, was a silver obi that was wrapped around the waist area of the miniature yukata.

"This will do." Leila said with approval. She turned to Rindou and spoke, "What do you think of the doll, Rindou-senpai?"

"It's good!" Rindou answered a bit too hastily.

"Would you like to pick a different set of colored eyes, or would you like to keep the eyes that are already in this BJD?" Hina asked and Leila shook her head.

"The ones in her head are good." Leila looked up at Hina. "How much is the BJD and yukata together?"

"Well, the faceup for this doll is free since today is one of those days where we will do the faceup on the doll already. The wing is also free so you don't need to worry about paying for that. And then, there is also the 50% discount for having a membership. It will be about 18, 750 yen in total." Hina said.

Leila turned to Rindou. "Can you afford it? If not, we could try going somewhere else if you want…" Leila murmured the last part timidly. Her shyness was starting to come back.

"No, I can afford it." Rindou replied as he pulled out his wallet. Leila nods and walks off to look at the dolls and doll accessories. "This is the first time I've ever seen Leila-chan, like this before."

"Really? This isn't the first time I've seen her act like this. The only time she acts like this, is when she comes here with her aunt and a friend." Hina gazed at Rindou. "You're the third person that I've seen, that Leila-chan has brought in here with her."

"Can you two do a dive with me?" Mikado asked hesitantly, while inwardly wincing.

Shizuo and Izaya stared at Mikado, while Celty sharply turned to Mikado in shock. Shinra in the meantime had gone to the bathroom before Mikado asked the question. Celty quickly typed on her PDA and showed Mikado what she typed, [Why so suddenly?]

"Hara-sensei wants us to do at least one dive before the end of the semester." Mikado replied. Mikado was blushing hard from sheer embarrassment. Before he could do anything (like go hide in his bedroom), Izaya suddenly glomps him.

"Aw, Mikado, you should know that you don't need to ask for permission for at least me to do a dive~!" Izaya said gleefully. Shizuo snarls at the informant for hugging Mikado, and promptly tries to get Izaya to let go of Mikado.

"Let him go, you damn flea!" Shizuo growled as he grabbed Mikado and tug the sapphire eyed boy to him.

"No," Izaya pulls Mikado back to him.

Before the tug-a-war of getting Mikado could get out of control, Celty intervenes by wrapping the two in her shadows. [Mikado, are you sure that you want to do a dive with these two?] Celty knew what diving meant to a Songstress was and how greatly it could affect them. But she wasn't just going to let two men dive into Mikado willy nilly (even though one of them was a close friend of hers), she was still Mikado's godmother.

Mikado wanted to say yes right then and there, but something was making him hesitant. Mikado ignored the feeling of hesitation and nodded. "Yes I want them to do a dive with me, Celty-san." Mikado said earnestly.

Celty glances at Shizuo and Izaya. She then begins to type on her PDA, [What is your opinion of this, Shizuo?]

"I would only do it if Mikado asked me to. Unlike this idiot here; who would jump at any opportunity to spend some time with Mikado." Shizuo said, while at the same time he restrained himself from bad-mouthing Izaya too much; at least for now.

"Hey!" Izaya shouted. A bit offended at the comment Shizuo made.

Celty seemed to ponder for a bit, before she typed something on her PDA. [Alright, you two have permission to dive into Mikado. But if you two do anything that could harm Mikado and his feelings,] Izaya and Shizuo felt the shadows around them, tightening even more. They looked at Celty and shuddered when they saw that her shadows were looking a bit menacing. [I will not tolerant it. And my scythe will be ready to behead the both of you.]

As Minoru was about to exit Rin's office, a black haired man he ever seen before opens the office door. Minoru glanced at the man. The man looked to be about in his older 30's because Minoru could see some older facial features on the man's face. The older man was dressed in a white business suit and had on a black dress shirt that was underneath the suit jacket. As Minoru walked pass the man, he noticed that the black haired man had ebony brown eyes that seemed a bit too menacing.

"Long time to see, Shiki!" Rin shouted as a puff of smoke escaped her mouth. Sitting right next to Rin was Homura, who was sucking on a mouth piece that was connected to a hose, which was also connected to a hookah. The hookah was a bright green color, while the hoses connected to the hookah were forest green.

The office air was filled with a dense smoke, and the office was also filled with the scent of apple and mint. Minoru had to open some of the windows earlier, because he could hardly see anything in the smoke.

Shiki walked to the two women and sat in one of the chairs. Minoru took one last glance at them, before he exited the office.

The next morning was a bit of a surprise to say the least. Kenna and the rest of the students in her homeroom class were waiting for their teacher to come in to start the lesson of the day. It wasn't until a few more minutes later, that their homeroom teacher came in. Kenna watched as the homeroom teacher walked up to the podium and coughed, "If I may have all of your attentions."

Everyone looked at the homeroom teacher and suddenly, a student that they never seen before, walked up to the front of the classroom. "We have a transfer student today," the homeroom teacher turned to the unknown student, "why don't you introduce yourself, to the class?"

The unknown student had short raven black hair that seemed to be normal for an average human, but it was the eyes that grabbed everyone's attention. His eyes were scarlet and around the outer rim of his pupils, were an ultramarine color. The eyes were definitely a sign that this unknown student wasn't human.

"My name is Harvey Haemon. It's a pleasure to meet you all…" Haemon said and bowed.

"Leila-chan!" Someone shouted. Leila turned around and noticed that Rindou was slightly running towards her. Leila watched as Rindou came to a halt in front of her.

She raised an eyebrow at him. "What are you doing here, Rindou-senpai?" Leila asked, even though it was lunchtime, the white feline Beastkin probably had other stuff to do instead of trying to search for her.

"I wanted to thank you for helping me out yesterday. Obaa-chan loved the doll and said that she was interested in getting another one." Rindou replied with a smile.

Leila blinked. "That's…good." She said a bit baffled. Leila wasn't used to getting praise (much less from the opposite gender), so this was something new to her.

Before she could say else to Rindou, she suddenly felt something glaring at her. Leila slightly turned her head behind her and she paled when she saw a pack of teenage girls glaring daggers at her. She could also see that they were emitting a malicious aura too. Now she was getting really anxious.

Rindou must have noticed it too because he suddenly grabbed her wrist and dragged her away from the pack of teenage girls. Once the two were out of sight from the pack of teenage girls, Rindou lets go of her wrist and turns to her. "Sorry about that. Some of the girls in the school like me a bit too much." Rindou says as he rubs the head of his head. Rindou's ears were twitching. "Anyways, what does BJD means? I forgot to ask you about it yesterday."

"You don't know what a BJD is?" Leila asked and Rindou shook his head. Leila pondered for a bit before she spoke, "A BJD is called a ball-jointed doll. They're called that because they have joints, in which it makes them very flexible and able to pose in like-life ways."

"That makes sense." Rindou said.

"Why were you trying to find me?" Leila asked timidly. She was confused as to why Rindou was searching for her, besides thanking her for helping him out yesterday.

"Besides thanking you, I wanted to ask you if you have any plans this evening."

Mikado stopped in his tracks when he saw a bunch of students standing by the academy gates. He could hear the students whispering about something. "Holy shit, is that Shizuo and Izaya?" Mikado heard one of the student's exclaimed.

"I wonder why they're here…"

"I'm curious as to why they haven't started trying to kill each other!"

Mikado raised an eyebrow. 'Shizuo and Izaya are here?' Now he was curious as to why the two were here, unless…

Mikado blushed and shook his head. The sapphire eyed boy pushes through the crowd of students and spots the two men. Izaya and Shizuo were standing by the academy gates, glaring at each other. The two stopped glaring at each other when they saw Mikado. Izaya grins and immediately tackles him with a hug.

"I've been waiting for you, Mikado-chan~!" Izaya said as he nuzzled Mikado in front of the students, not really caring if they were horrified by the sight (with the exception of some of the girls who were squealing at the sight). Mikado sweat dropped and blushed a bit. Shizuo glared daggers at Izaya and yanked the informant off of Mikado.

"Let's get going…" Mikado murmured a bit embarrassed. Shizuo nodded. Izaya on the other hand was pouting because he got yanked off of Mikado. As the three walked away, Shizuo and Izaya ignored the flabbergasted looks they were getting form students.

The walk to one of the dive shops in Ikebukuro was a quiet walk, to say the least. Izaya every now and then would try to hug Mikado, only to be stopped by a punch courtesy of Shizuo. On their way to the dive shop, they ran into Kyohei's group. Erika then started squealing, because Mikado asked if any of them knew where they can find a dive shop. The males in the group shook their heads at Erika. Walker gave the three directions to a dive shop that was in the area. Mikado thanked Walker and as the three walked away, Erika continued to squeal.

"I told you guys that BL exists!" Erika shouted.

When they arrived at the dive shop, Izaya opened the door for Mikado and he slammed it in Shizuo's face. Mikado and Izaya took a glance around the shop.

In the very corners of the dive shop were two large white machines. Connected to the two machines were two pods, two pods for one machine. The pods had a non-visible light gray lid. In the center of the each machine was a touchscreen that was glowing blue. Standing in front of the touchscreen was a familiar person.

"Kenna-senpai!" Mikado exclaimed and Kenna turned around. Instead of wearing her academy uniform, Kenna was wearing a bright green jacket with a white blouse underneath it, and navy blue jeans.

"You know this girl, Mikado?" Izaya asked as Shizuo walked in, a bit irked at Izaya for slamming the door in his face.

"I do." Mikado said.

"Mikado, why did you bring with you an Eskimo and a bartender?" Kenna asked with raised eyebrows. The two men gazed at Kenna and a vein immediately popped up on both of their foreheads. The one who had the bigger vein was, surprisingly enough, Izaya.

Mikado could sense that something bad was going to happen, and interferes before Izaya or Shizuo could do anything. "Kenna-senpai, these two are Izaya and Shizuo. And we're here to do a dive." Mikado said and Kenna blinked.

"Oh, is that so? Why didn't you say so?" Kenna asked and Mikado felt like sweat dropping at the older girl. Before anyone else could say anything, one of the pods opened. Everyone's attention turned to the pod. Sitting up straight was a perplex Rindou and Yoshiyuki. Sitting in the middle between Rindou and Yoshiyuki was Leila, who was blinking in confusion.

"What the hell just happened?" Rindou mumbled.

"What are you three doing here?" Mikado asked surprised.

Izaya and Shizuo raised an eyebrow at the two Beastkins. Beastkins (if memory severs them right) were a race of people who had animal characteristics. Those characteristics ranged from having a tail, to having ears similar to an animal's. They also had excellent senses that could put a human's to shame.

Kenna looked at the two Beastkins and laughed. "Holy shit! You two only lasted in there for 10 seconds!" Kenna shouted and received two glares from the two males.

Rindou looked like he wanted to say something to Kenna, but just shook his head instead. Just when he was about to get out off of the pod, he took a glance at Izaya and Shizuo. Rindou's eyes widened and he fell out of the pod. Leila peered over the pod and looked down at Rindou.

"You okay, Rindou-senpai?" Leila asked.

"Y-Yeah, I'm okay." Rindou replied with a bit of a stutter in his voice as he stood up. Yoshiyuki raises an eyebrow at his younger brother, but doesn't say anything to him.

"It looks like I have to get Miss Adelpha to help you three out." Kenna said as Yoshiyuki helped Leila out of the pod. Leila eyes slightly widened when Kenna said the name 'Adelpha'. However, her eyes quickly reverted back to their normal shape as if to hide the fact that she knew the name.

"We'll come back later, Kenna. Since Leila is probably hungry." Rindou said and Leila looked at him with a confuse expression.

"Rindou, what are yo-" Before Yoshiyuki could finished his sentence, Rindou was already pushing them towards the door. Once they were out of the shop, Kenna turned to the three males that were still in front of her.

"Those three were here to do a dive. But besides that, why don't you get into the other pod, Mikado? I just need to explain a few things to these two." Kenna gestured her hand to the pod that was opposite to the pod that the other three before them had used. Mikado glanced at Izaya and Shizuo for a moment before he walked to the pod. Kenna then turned her attention to Shizuo and Izaya. "Before we start, can you two tell me your names? Because this probably wouldn't be the last time we'll see each other."

"Orihara Izaya." Izaya held out his hand to Kenna, and the two briefly shook hands.

"Heiwajima Shizuo." Kenna seemed a bit surprise at hearing Shizuo's full name. But nevertheless, she shook his hand.

"Brahe Kenna, and let's begin. A dive is basically a way to not only get Song Magic, but it's also a way to get to know more about the Songstress. If something bad were to happen inside the Songstress however," Kenna glanced at the machine behind her. "I will be forced to do an emergency shutdown. But this is just in case something bad happens."

Izaya gazed at Kenna with narrowed eyes. "Will you be observing everything we do?"

"No, since a dive is only something that happens between the Songstress and the person who dives into them. If I were to take a peak however, my boss would fire my ass in an instant." Kenna said in a lighthearted way.

"Anything else, you need to tell us?" Shizuo asked.

"Nope," the two men took that as a cue, that Kenna was done explaining to them. So they were about to get into the pod when Kenna stopped them. "But I do have a tip for you two."

"And what would that be?" Izaya asked, while making a mental note in his head to do a bit of information gathering on this girl.

"Songstresses are prone to emotional pain. So there is a chance that while in the Songstress, you two will experience and see the reason behind the pain. And that's all I'm going to say. You two will find out more soon." Kenna said and both men raised an eyebrow at her. Kenna ignores the two and begins to get ready. She took a glance and saw that the two were getting into the pod that Mikado was in. Kenna presses a couple of things on the touchscreen, and the lid of the pod slowly closed. Once she knew that the three males were occupied, she then pulls out her iPhone and starts texting.

Chapter 9 end

Celestial Reyvateil: Sorry if the surprise didn't exactly happen in this chapter. My brain (while I was on pain medication because of the surgery) decided to have a massive brain fart, while I was writing this chapter. -_-' Anyways, I hope that this chapter was enjoyable!
