He leans back on the wall behind him, he sighs mentally at those gathered in his apartment. The more unusual guests were Takuya, Kouji, and Kouichi, then there's Yolei and Henry, the only two humans to be in the room. On their way to his apartment they ended up with Ryo, Kari, and Davis and he can't forget Ken, his student and fellow clan mate, and Rika, the half vampire whose mother is member of Ryo's clan which kind of makes Rika a member of the Mind Charmers clan.

He notices the looks that Yolei's sending Ken, her emotions were mixed but he can tell that despite the fact that they had been keeping secrets from the pair. Kouichi looks slightly tired and Kouji keeps glancing at the Angel of Darkness with concerned looks. Kari's using a cell phone to reassure TK that she's fine as Henry does the same to his parents. Rika is leaning against a wall, back where the three Angels were floating around. While Ryo currently looking thoughtful as he surveys the two humans seated before him while Takuya seems to be humming a song, most likely wanting this meeting to get underway.

Finally Henry and Kari are done with their phone calls and Yolei asks, "What happened tonight? How did that… that… thing come about?" Within three seconds, everyone turns and looks at him. He sighs, noticing that the three Angels were also curious on how he'd answer that question without revealing their existence. "What did Ken and Rika tell you." He asks, wondering just how stressed the pair had been in order to forget that the two weren't members of the community that contains Vampires and magic-users.

So Henry told them what happened, how Ken couldn't id the energy that was radiating from the gigantic tentacle beast. He nods slightly; he notices that Ryo and Kari were listening closely to what the young teenager was saying. Once his human friend finishes, he looks thoughtful for a few minutes. "I noticed it as well, I seemed like a pure form of the kind of magic Necromancers use as well as much more condensed too." He then looks sheepish as he looks at Ken and then adds, "I had been tracking an older Necromancer, I had interrupted a major spell that he had been about to unleash and that spell energy had to go somewhere once I disrupted the frame work of that spell."

Ryo looks surprise that he'd hunt down a powerful Necromancer without informing him, his old hunting buddy. Ken looks thoughtful as does his distant cousin, Kari. Henry and Yolei looks startled at how easy that answer was accepted. Kouji nods approvingly at his explanation as Takuya just grins. Rika asks, "So, did you get him?" He shakes his head as he informs them, "The beast got him before I did." "So you were going to turn him into the police? Or some other government agency?" Yolei asks. They all looked at her and then laughed long and hard.

"No, I wouldn't risk capturing a Necromancer, or a Blood Mage for that matter. They sealed their fate once they took the first few steps on their chosen path of magic." He finally replies once he gains control over his breathing. "That doesn't seem fair!" Yolei shouts. "It's not fair for people to die just so they can use their magic." Ken says coolly. Yolei looks around; they each nod in agreement with Ken, with the notable exceptions of the three Angels and Henry. "But couldn't you imprison them?" Henry asks. Ryo, Kari, Rika, and himself snort and Ken answers Henry's question. "Why should we? They're rogues for they don't care who dies just as long as they are able to collect the energy from their victims through torture or death. Why give them a chance to escape when it's so much easier just to do away with them. Also, as long as they bodies are found in the beat up neighbourhood, nobody really cares." Ken informs the pair.

The pair seems startled and uneasy about that simple fact. He sighs and wonders if he shouldn't just modify their memories so that they don't remember what Rika and Ken had told them. Then he sighs once he notices a slightly protective look Ken sends in Yolei's direction and knew that if he did that, Ken will do more then just protest that action and if the pair ever do overcome the block, they wouldn't be pleased with him either.

He sighs and says, "We are a secret community, we exist below the surface of human society in order to find peace. There were times when Magic-users and vampires would walk about, would do services for the non magical types." He pauses as he lets the pair wrap their mind around what he's implying. "Ryo and me have seen villages and towns bow to the whims of Blood Mages and Necromancers. How groups of humans go about trying to enforce their definitions of law and order. We had no peace then, being in the spot light. Things are better off as they are now, with the 'norm' think of the true history is just folklore and fairy tales. In a weeks time, the people will come up with scientific reasons for what happened this night and that as it should be." He says, Henry looks defeated about something and Yolei looks thoughtful. Ken looks relieved as does Ryo and Kari.

After a few minutes, his student and 'son' states, "You two should head home, it's late and we do have school in the morning." The pair blink and glance at the clock on the wall. Soon they're on their way out of the apartment, leaving them to discuss more important matters.

"Do you have any idea how many died this night, old friend?" Ryo asks, he smirks at the word 'old'. "Not really, but I'm betting a few billion though. I also don't know why it didn't attempt to harm vampires either." He states, guessing that nobody at Ryo's night club had been taken since Ryo hadn't pull him aside to tell him about any loses in that department.

He notices that the three Angels seem to sober up at his estimation of the number dead. Rika sighs as Kari looks unsettled at the number. Ken's mind wasn't on what's happening right now, he figures that his student's mind is on Yolei. "What about magic users?" Rika asks. "I believe your adopted father will be phoning sometime tomorrow to see if you're alright." He says, guessing that Travis would contact Rika, to see if she's alright as well as to find out if there had been any vampires that had been attacked by the beast.

They soon talk about plans and he listened with half an ear, he nodded at intervals, busy calculating how so many deaths will affect the feeding patterns of them, the vampires. 'That means that I have better find a way to power the day light spells or Ken and I won't be able to continue to go to high school… Maybe it would be for the best if we do stop going to school. I need to focus on training Ken as well as Kari.' He thinks to himself, wondering whether or not he should follow through with that course of action.

Within two hours of Henry and Yolei leaving, they finish with their meeting and soon it's just Ken and him alone in the apartment. He glances over to where the Angels were waiting and then back at Ken. "I think we should pull out of school, I don't think its safe feeding just to keep up the energy needed for the daylight spells." He tells his 'son' and student. Ken looks startled and looks like he wants to protest, but pauses as the ex-wizard thinks about what he's saying. Ken sighs and nods in agreement. "I think it wouldn't look to odd, not with what happened tonight." Ken says tiredly.

He smiles slightly and says, "Go and get some rest. I'll be up coming up going through some books that I want you to read." Ken nods and disappears into his room. He does a simple spell to open up a portal that leads to the great dimensional portal that houses his clan's library. It had taken over two centuries for his clan to come up with this pocket dimension and only a hundred years to decide it was the most secure location for all of their precise spell books and lab logs to personal history and their collection of priceless human scrolls and books.

He hadn't even revealed to Ken that it even exists. He looks back at his cousin and his friends and then motions for them to remain. He enters into the portal and heads directly to where he knows the books he wants Ken to begin to read. He also paused and heads to find something for himself to go over. Once he finishes, he walks through the portal and remembers to dismiss the portal with a flick of his wrist.

He sets the books down and sits on the couch, studying the three Angels that were still hanging around. His arms rest on the back of the couch, waiting for someone to break the silence, guessing that Ken is fast asleep from all of the excitement. Finally Kouji says, "You'll stick to that story, about the energy's origins?" He nods as he shrugs. "I won't do anything that would endanger family." He tells them. 'I have so little of it left.' He thinks to himself.

His ghostly cousin grins and looks quite proud of his answer. "See? He's going to keep our secrets, so we can leave here knowing that my cousin will keep quiet about us." Takuya says and Kouji just sighs while Kouichi yawns. Kouji looks over at his twin brother and his expression softens. "Ok, I guess we can go. But if you breath a word…" Kouji threatens, he chuckles, he couldn't help it really, the look on Kouji's face was just too much for him to handle. "I get it, I get it." He says as he holds up his hands as Kouji sends him a look of icy cold fury. Takuya nudges the Angel of Light in the ribs, causing Kouji to glare at his cousin.

He watches as the twins fade, leaving him with his cousin. "So… I guess this is good bye." His cousin says. "Guess so." He admits softly. He gets up off the couch and they hug for a second. "Maybe we'll see each other in another five hundred years." He suggests, this causes his cousin to smile slightly and nod. They don't say anything more and soon he's alone in the living room. He glances at the computer before shaking his head. He glances at the books and sits back down, taking the one he wanted to reread. He just felt like he had too much energy to fall a sleep, so he begins to read the book once he's comfortable on the couch. 'I guess things aren't going to be returning to normal anytime soon.' He muses to himself before he gets really into his book.

She sighs as she glances at the clock, the school has yet to open and what worries her most is that Takato and Ken have yet to show up. She also noticed that there weren't that many students around either. Neither Yolei or Henry have yet to say anything, which makes her kind of uneasy since Yolei does have a tendency to blurt out things without intending to.

She bites her lower lip, trying to decide if she should phone Takato's place or not. She takes out her phone and speed dials Takato's apartment. "Hey." Takato says. "Where are you two? I'm at the school and your not here!" She hisses into the phone. "I know, but until I can come up with a way to maintain the daylight spells, I think Ken and I shouldn't use them. I believe that people wouldn't react well if people go missing and they can't find the bodies, not yet anyway. So we're staying home for now." She blinks, surprised at Takato's reasoning as to why they're going to be missing school.

"Oh." Was all she can say. "What do I tell Yolei and Henry? I don't think they know about… you know." She says dryly. "Don't know, I do plan on stepping up on Ken's training, so you could use that as a reason." Takato suggests. She nods and they say bye, she hangs up and finds that the two humans were glancing at her. "Takato's stepping up Ken's training." She tells them and they seem to relax at this.

"So, how is it that you know about magic?" Yolei asks once they glance around to see if anyone notices them and determine that they aren't paying them any mind. "My adopted father is a wizard." She says truthfully. "What about your parents?" Henry asks, she frowns as she thinks about that. "I don't know about my real father, but my mother if part of Ryo's clan. She kind of had to give me up and Travis took me in once I was born. I hadn't known what became of her until I chatted with Takato. I've yet to confront my real mother, though." She tells them.

"Why not?! She's your mother, isn't she?" Yolei kind of yells, drawing attention to them, once Yolei realise this, the glass wearing teen blushes at the attention and soon the students return to doing what they were doing before Yolei's out burst. She shrugs as she says, "You're not ready to hear more about it just yet. There are things that you won't fully understand, so you really can't judge me on how I'm handling my own affairs." Henry looks startled and Yolei blink owlishly at her.

"Just how much is there to know?" Yolei asks, unsure if she'd like the answer. "Not that much, but something that you wouldn't expect, so stop with the questions and don't make close your minds just yet." She says and then adds thoughtfully, "I think you might want to talk with someone before you jump to conclusions. He's human, but he's done something that everyone thought impossible. He combined Technology and Magic, you remember that website that you showed use, Henry? The one with those monsters that you can customize? He's someone you might need to met before you get told anymore about what's going on in this shadow community that you've stumbled upon." Henry looks surprised to hear that.

After that, they stood around, waiting for something to happen. The bell rings and they have yet to open up the doors to the school. Soon the students began to murmur to themselves as they wonder what's going on and whether or not they were going to have classes today. Within fifteen minutes, some teachers come out of the building. The mass of students quiet down and soon the gym teacher begins to explain why there wasn't going to be any classes for today and for tomorrow.

Once that's done, they slowly begin to disperse; she heads off to check up on Takato, leaving Yolei and Henry to do whatever. She blinks as her cell goes off, she answers it. "Hello?" She asks and her adopted father's voice says, "Rika? I'm glad your safe. Listen …." She drops the phone, stunned to what her guardian had just finish telling her. 'Holy shit! Takato would want to hear this!' She thinks, slowly looking down to where Travis's voice is coming from. She picks up her cell phone and chats with her father as she power walks to the closest bus stop. She wonders if Takato or Ryo knows what her adopted parent had just told her…
