To those who didn't understand Akito, he was like Haru, he had two sides, one good and one "evil". I updated that chapter, I think most read the 'old' version (I apologize for that, but it takes awhile for an edited chapter to show up), if you have time and enjoy this story I think you should read the Akito chapter again (I think Val Kyrie and below read the old version, I'm not really sure).
I already said in chapter six that if you want me to mention other roles you must be more specific, knowing just the name doesn't help me, you must describe the way the character acts in that anime.
This chapter took kind of long to post but my computer finally arrived (:D) but I'm having major problems with it... *sigh* Hopefully it'll be fixed soon (don't think so though.) I don't even have a desk to it or a proper chair...;_;
Warning: Characters being EXTREMELY OOC (which I'm sure everyone knows now...)
Shigure's voice actor is Okiayu Ryoutarou.
Interview IX: Okay Ryat
Finally she didn't look like a monster.
She smiled happily, for some odd reason all her despairs were gone, perhaps it was the thought of meeting the so wonderful cute funny Shigure?
His sign was plain black letters saying Okay Ryat.
She knocked and told him who she was.
"Come in," he said.
She jumped in excitement but when she opened the door she put a professional serious expression on her face.
She found him seated on a stool, he was sitting entirely straight with a stern look on his face as he read the book. He was wearing a gloomy dark robe and glasses. He had a bitter line around his mouth as if he was reading something of utter importance or something extremely boring. She examined the room and it was... well dark. It reminded her of Ayame's room. Dark and cold, but Shigure had a simple wooden cross placed on one wall. Two candles were beside the cross burning brightly.
She found a similar stool across him and got seated. She waited for him to finish the page.
She suddenly felt nervous, it was so quiet...
Sey studied him and wondered what was up with his weird outfit.
He looked up and fixed his eyes on her.
She gulped. Such beautiful eyes!
He blinked as if he was disturbed by something.
"You!" he pointed at her and looked very disgusted.
Oh no! Perhaps she hadn't put on enough makeup, perhaps she was still hideous from the event with Ayame! Oh no! What was she to do?!
"W-what?" she said nervously.
He backed and accidentally made the stool fall, he tripped on it but didn't seem to notice that. He was now lying on the floor and all he could do was to look at her in utter horror and gasp as if she was his biggest nightmare coming to life.
He stuttered in shock as he spoke. "You... You wear a cleavage!"
She blinked and looked down. Yes she wore a cleavage, but not a big one. When she thought about it it couldn't really even be called a cleavage.
"Ehm, yeah?"
His eyes widened. "You know this and you still wear that... that thing Satan created!"
She dropped her purse. Huh?! "E-excuse me?!"
He seemed to finally realize the position he was sitting in and with grace rose. He lifted the stool and sat down on it again his hands on his laps.
"You know exactly what I am talking about. But you seem innocent; I could see confusion in your eyes." He gave her a reassuring smile. "You must have been so misled in your life you poor girl. Now why don't you confess your sins, I promise that you will feel better."
What was he talking about?
"I don't really believe in God..." she said carefully.
He shook his head in disapproval. "My, your childhood must have been awful! Not believe in God? Such foolish talk. Now why don't you button up that... thing. You're practically naked."
Naked?! O_O
"Eh, OK..." she buttoned up the one button that was unbuttoned. "Can we start the interview? I don't have much time."
He shook his head and sighed. "You poor girl, fine, fine, if you rather do this than confess your sins..."
Yeah, she rather do this than tell him anything!
She took up her pen and pad.
"So how was it to play Shigure?" She loved Shigure! He was so funny, she always laughed when he was near... not only was he funny but cute at the same time!
He sighed and rubbed his tired eyes behind his glasses.
Now that she thought about it she had found him reading a book in the dark, he must either have great eyesight or be slightly dumb...
"Awful, he is so sinful. After every scene I had to take a break and confess my sins to God, or to be more correct I had to confess Shigure's sins. I thought I would go mad... But I'm a great believer and I have trust in God, he forgives me for he knows that it's not me who says those things."
Note: Could this be Ryat's way of acting 'bad' and later he blames it on his role thus he feels like he hasn't done anything wrong?
"How come you played this role then?"
"Well..." he shifted his position and looked extremely uncomfortable. "We humans only live ones and I feel that I must do this even if it..." he gulped, "even if I will be caught in the Devil's net."
He glanced at the cross on his walls with longing eyes. "I don't understand why I was cursed with my good looks and charms... Perhaps I would have pursued something more holy if not?"
Note: He sounds so cool even if he says un cool and stupid things!
"Uhm yeah... So your brother is the actor who plays Yuki right?"
He pressed his hand towards his eyes and sighed tiredly. "Yes that good for nothing is my brother... He says that God is stupid and sometimes he even says things that God doesn't exist... I've pray for him every day that he will find a sign and stop acting like a servant of the Devil!"
What should she say?!
She laughed nervously.
"He was in fact my first interview... Hah hah..." she said lamely.
"Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. He likes to hit on the 'ladies'... He is quite a 'player' as most put it. He flirts with everyone, young, old etc..." He shook his head in disapproval. "The only women he doesn't hit on are 'extremely ugly girls' as he likes to say it. Tsk, tsk."
She turned away and cried silently, he only slept and acted dumb during the interview! So she was an 'extremely ugly girl'?!
She couldn't bear this...
Wait a minute... She gasped at the realization.
Shigure had thought that Yuki had flirted with her which meant that he didn't find her an 'extremely ugly girl.'
She felt hope but then noticed the cross on the wall and Shigure's robe again.
She lost hope again.
"What do you think of the actress that play Honda Tohru?" she said gloomy.
He caressed his bible that was placed on his lap.
His eyes widened when she mentioned Tohru's name.
"She is..." he caressed the bible faster, "such a..." he started to breathe faster as well.
Was he sweating?
"-Sinful creature! No I am not attracted to her! Absolutely not! She likes that... and she likes that as well! I don't!" he shook his head firmly as if to convince himself about something. "No... Don't you get it?! Curiosity will get you nowhere!" He stood up and the bible fell down.
He was standing over her and she suddenly felt like the first victim in a horror movie.
"I DON'T WANT TO SLEEP WITH HER, OK!!!"
Note: Help.
She gulped.
"Eh... OK..."
He sat down and took up the bible and started to brush the dust of.
His glasses had slid down and he placed them back at the right position.
He looked her darkly. "So where were we?"
She backed at the sound of his voice.
She didn't understand anything but when she thought about it she had never understood these people...
"Uhm... Do you have any girlfriend?"
She was pretty sure of the answer but it didn't hurt to ask... Or?
"Yes."
She blinked. "R-really?!"
How shocking! She had never expected this!
"How did you two meet?"
He hugged his bible and seemed to be praying.
"How did who meet?"
"Uh... you and your girlfriend..." she sighed.
He stood up and studied the cross on the wall.
"Which girlfriend?"
@_@
"You have two girlfriends?!"
He gave her a faint smile which caused her to blush thus forgetting what she had asked. She forgot everything... All she saw was that smile. She was blinded by it! If he asked her to be his slave she would say 'yes'. Yes, she would! YEEEEEEEES!
"I do not have two girlfriends," he touched his cross on the wall. "I have seven."
S-seven?!
Holy cow!
What was the meaning with this?
"But shouldn't you be totally against this?"
He raised his eyebrows.
"Against a man and a woman being together?"
"Yes..."
What did he mean with 'against a man and a woman being together'? What he should be saying was: Against a man and lots of women being together!
"No, I believe in love..." he said proudly. "God is love and these women I do love! And they love me... It is truly magnificent."
"Oh... Sorry..."
This was truly absurd but arguing with him the last minute would not help.
"My final question, what are your hobbies?"
He rubbed his tired eyes.
"Praying if an absolute, and then there are of course my loved ones... I assume that's my so called 'hobbies'."
"All right. Thanks for having me here!"
She bowed and left.
When she was out of the room Ryat quickly opened up his drawers to take out holy 'things' which was used to purify evil spirits.
He lit some candles and started praying.
This woman she was certainly some sort of a demon.
He closes his eyes and begged that the scent of her evil perfume would soon vanish.

I usually always write everything from Sey's perspective but I just added this part with Shigure for fun... Since I thought it suited.
Thank you everyone who reviewed! :D
