It was quiet.

As usual.

She sat in her cell, right on the floor, on her knees. A sigh escaped her lips.

She caught a glimpse of her reflection, before closing her eyes. The reflection showed a slim woman, but clearly had a few muscles as her long, black hair was draped down her shoulders with complimented her emerald green eyes and her sharp facial features. Like many others in the prison, she wore the standard orange jumpsuit uniform, though her uniform was worn perfectly as there was no wrinkles in sight.

The seated woman brushed her hair with nothing but her own finger, putting it back into position as she stayed in the centre of her cell. When her beautiful, green eyes opened, they glared at the wall.

"Sae Kumiza," one of the guards said from the other side of her cell. "You're still staying in there?"

The woman, Sae, glared at the cell door, a chuckle came from the guard. "Sorry, sorry. I'll leave you to it." The guard's footsteps faded out after a few seconds and Sae didn't let up her glare.

She opted to stay in her cell, for just a while more.

"Hm, so that's what one of the new guys look like." a stoic voice spoke from outside of the male ward mess hall to himself.

This man was incredibly tall and many stood clear for this fact alone. He had a lanky body with long, sharp bone horns coming out from his forehead pointing forwards as his eyes were slitted and amber in colour while the sclera was that of silver. He sported jagged bone teeth, wide shoulders and long hind legs with claws that seemed to be made from bone and that also went for his hands too. His complexion was deathly pale and sported long elven ears with the right ear missing part of it from battle as well as missing part of his upper left lip, making it always show his left long canine. Lastly, he had extremely long and fluffy dark hair that reached down to his feet as it almost brushed the ground.

He wore the black striped prisoner uniform, but it was only the pants. He lacked any shoes due to his feet and had his upper torso on full display, showing multiple scars and their varying sizes and were very noticeable due to their darker shade.

This intimidating figure was Kuroishi Yukimura.

The stoic Kuroishi got the attention of another nearby individual.

He was a little short and on the small side, compared to Kuroishi of course. He had dark purple hair that was nearly black as it was slicked back into slight spikes and even possessed a little facial hair, though that also came with several shaking cuts along with it. His dark green eyes, glanced back to the giant as he turned his toned body towards him as he stretched, his fingers locking together briefly as it a series of horizontal scars adorned the back of his fingers.

He was wearing the orange jumpsuit with the long sleeves rolled up and seemed to have a bit of blue on it. "How did you know what they look like? Word of mouth? Do you know anything about them?"

Kuroishi shook his head, turning to face away from the smaller male who happened to be in the same room.

The smaller male (compared to the giant) stood from his spot. "Do you mind telling me more, Kuroishi?"

"Drop it, Reiji." was all the stoic man said, choosing to walk away now as Reiji Maeda sat back down. However, the young man wasn't too bummed about it as he glanced out the prison windows as a smile graced his face. It won't be too long.

Sitting in the male ward was a tall and slender person with a build that fitted most swimmers as they possessed slicked back, neck-length purple hair pale yellow slitted eyes. They wore the black and white striped uniform, with the sleeves rolled up to their biceps which showed off a green vine tattoo with violets blooming along the vine, wrapping around their left arm. They also seemed to have a white tank top underneath their uniform.

His face remained unmoving, unchanging in expression. Watching the man of neon yellow skin and the man with the snake tail meet briefly, causing the muscular man to walk away in the opposite direction.

His hands ran along a piece of cloth on the table as his eyes travelled towards a rather tall and lanky man with pale skin, brown hair and bloodshot eyes as his veins were easily seen on his arms and body, which was also covered in bruises. He wore the black and white striped uniform, though his shirt had short sleeves instead of the usual long ones.

"Did you see that, Juro?" said the bruised man.

"...I did." came a stoic reply from the man with slitted eyes. This was Juro Raisa and the bruised man was Rhys Dignam.

Rhys stared off into the distance for a while, prompting Juro to say, "Rhys?"

"Huh? Oh, I guess I zoned out. Sorry, but it seems I got some thinking to do." he paused for a second before he decided to leave. "Hmm, see you around, Juro." Rhys up and left the seat, headed somewhere that Juro didn't really care for. Juro watched as Rhys left with his slitted eyes, before he turned his attention elsewhere. There wasn't much to do today, anyway.

Jin walked with David travelling behind somewhat. Thanks to David, Jin learnt just who Fumma was as well as where to meet him. In a part of the male ward, Fumma would be waiting for him. No help from that crony from earlier though. The memory replayed through his mind.

David sighed. "Guess I should tell you about Fumma, then…"

"Yeah, you should. Just who is he?"

David glanced back to the one crony who was probably wandering back to Fumma. "He's the big shot of the male ward." David saw the look on Jin's face, as a eyebrow raised up causing him to explain a bit more. "I guess. He's got quite a few other inmates under his command, just like the one who came to you."

Jin crossed his arms, curiosity entered his mind. "Why does he want to see me?"

"He wants to see every new inmate, guess you could say safety in numbers, newbie protection or just top dog hierarchy. I don't know."

"Does everyone follow him then?"

This time, David raised an eyebrow. "No. I guess it's more of an offer. There are other inmates that don't follow him, but he's definitely got a reputation."

Jin rubbed the back of his neck. "Where is he?"

David looked at him and sighed. "Alright. I'll tell show you."

And that was how he ended up here, outside heading towards this 'boss' Fumma.

The sun shined down on the outdoor gym equipment as a man sat on a bench, as a few other nameless prisoners were gathered around him in some way or shape. To say a few, might be an understatement a little bit, but at the moment, the size seemed manageable.

The man on the bench was a handsome looking man, could even be considered a stud with a handsome face with a nice lean and slim build. He has little muscles, which couldn't really be seen through the regular orange prison uniform, though his did lack the shirt but in return, possessed a large black coat that covered the top half of his body and reached to his knees. His hands were covered in black gloves as he looked up with his sharp, light blue eyes on his diamond shaped face and small pointed nose. His other features were his small ears and his jade coloured hair that was long and tied back into a ponytail that reached down to his shoulders. Yet this wasn't all, due to his lack of shirt for his uniform, underneath the jumpsuit, the colours of red, yellow and green could be seen under his body and the simple fact that wrapped around the right side of his face, covering his eye were some bandages.

He was clearly looking directly a Jin as soon as he walked in.

"I see you arrived. I was expecting a much later arrival." the man spoke, gaining Jin's attention.

"And I guess you're Fumma?"

The man nodded, "Fumma Yoshitsune." the bandaged eyed man said quite calmly. "And you must be Jin. It's nice to meet you in person, word travels fast around here at times. If only the other one decided to meet me."

"...What do you want?"

Fumma took what seemed to be a sake cup in his hand. "It's not what I want. You were directed to me, I guess you could say that the older prisoners are looking out for the newbies."

"What? By joining your clique?" Jin asked, walking forward a bit. "Sorry, but even if there's safety in numbers as you said, that still isn't very safe."

Fumma down the cup with ease before handing it off to one of the cronies. "There are some downright horrible criminals in here, there are safety in numbers after all."

"Does that apply to you too?" Jin wondered to himself as Fumma spoke again.

"There's no rush, take your time. Who knows, you might end up in a situation where you need a couple of hands on your back."

Jin narrowed his eyes. "Should I take that as a threat?"

"No, no. Far from it. As I said, there are plenty of dangerous criminals apart from us, and they lack the ability to be civil."

"Right...I'll think about it." Jin turned on his heels and left, heading back towards David who waited a safe distance away.

Fumma looked down to see another cup, filled to brim before downing that one too.

"Sir," one of the cronies behind him spoke, "is it wise to let him go?"

"Easy now, it's perfectly fine. They'll come back on their own accord."

"If you say so sir...a refill?" Fumma just nodded to that as the cup was filled again.

Tai grumpily walked through the male ward cells along with the guard dressed in a lighter green shade. They were here to check on two prisoners, to check on how they were before letting them wander around the prison, if they were in the right mind to do so and not throwing a tantrum.

"Which one do you want to check on?" asked Alexios, causing the grumpy guard to scoff and bite back venomously.

"Who the fuck cares? If you care so much, you fucking choose one!"

Alexios raised a hand. "Ah, thanks. I'll take this one then."

"You dumbass!" Alexios promptly ignored that last one as he opened the cell.

Inside the cell, he saw a man that he knew had short black hair, grey eyes and a slightly greyish tone to his skin along with a tone yet slim build as if all fat had been burned away from his body, leaving his muscles strangely exaggerated despite him not being particularly muscular. This man was trapped in a black, full body outfit that seemed pretty resistant and made out of plastic feeling cloth with two grey bandolier belts wrapped around the torso, crossing in the centre of his chest and and finally a pair of boots that was also resistant looking.

"Good morning, Gin Shinoha." he greeted as Gin sat in the padded cell that looked similar to his outfit.

"Am I free to go officer?" Gin asked sarcastically from his cell with a soft tone to his voice.

Alexios gestured to the open cell, "of course!"

"You don't mind if I take this suit off then, right?" Gin asked, pulling at the restrictive clothing.

The guard shook his head, causing Gin growl in disappointment. "Then I'll make my leave then." Gin brushed past Alexios and headed out of there, especially considering that he didn't want to bother with any of them. The guards and his neighbour.

Meanwhile Tai was looking at the other one in a different cell.

This man was a wall of muscle and as a result, came off as quite terrifying when added to his height and his baldness did nothing to alleviate the appearance along with his green eyes that looked quite soulless. His attire consisted of heavy looking prisoner garbs that shared the same orange jumpsuit design as well as having reinforced shackles.

"Gousen Hikudo." Tai didn't say anything else as he stared at the shackles and weighed down man.

The man, Gousen, said nothing.

"Are you ready to come out?"

Gousen narrowed his eyes as he looked to his left, down towards the cell Gin was in. "Yeah, I guess I am." he said as his face was rather blank.

"Tch. If you're thinking about killing him, then forget it." Tai scoffed. "Not like you can even do anything about it anyway."

Gousen huffed as he began to walk which proved to be slightly difficult due to the weighted clothing.

"Remember, try anything and I'll make sure not even ashes would remain to scatter at your funeral." Tai warned, closing the cell as Gousen huffed. He was free from his cell for now, might as well make the most of it.

"They'll fit back into society at their rate their going."

Tai resisted the urge to punch his coworker at times. "If that's all, then I'm going! I'll leave these shitstains to you." With that, Tai left Alexios alone as the guard turned to look over the ward, or whatever he could see from the cells.

Li couldn't just get a break and he wasn't even here for a week! First being that weirdo that attacked him, the second being the snake man who gave off an dangerous air too, now there was a third annoyance, one that carried himself as a gentleman in fact.

"Just who the hell are you?" asked Li, gripping his fists, already tired of this shit.

"Touya Kotaki." The third annoyance greeted.

Touya was quite tall with a slender and athletic figure in a rather rectangular shape as he had muscles which showed that he did partake in physical activity, though it was more on the average side from other inmates with muscles. He had a great posture, standing with his back, chin and eyes straight. His skin was also a little bit pale with almost no scars on his hands, feet and face.

He also had an oval face with clear skin, a straight nose with thin lips that decorated his face with only his eyes standing out from his face, which his iris and pupils were bigger than normal and were orange in colour, like a burning fire and seemed to be moving if you looked into them. Finally, his hair was bright yellow and was cut quite short with a silky strand of hair covering his ears and neck.

He wore the standard orange uniform, much like most other prisoners. The shirt being quite clean and not having any trace of dirt on it, nor was the outfit wrongly folded, as if it was ironed recently and not to mention his shoes were also clean and new.

"What do you want? You gonna attack?"

"Nope! I just saw that you were scouting out for the prison." the polite tone and smile didn't put Li at ease however. "Are you perhaps, looking to escape? You've been here, how many days now? Two? Three?"

"That's none of your business."

Touya titled his head. "Well, it's not like you can just break out. This is Styx after all, one of the most secure prisons in the entire world. Breaking out of here is near impossible."

Li huffed, and would've almost left if what Touya said didn't grab his attention.

"You've only been here a couple of days, but I heard from a reliable source inside the co-ed ward that there's a pretty hopeful rumour."

Li looked back with new interest. "What do you mean?"

Touya clapped his hands together softly, holding onto that soft, polite smile. "It's just a rumour, but I'll be glad to tell." and so he did, all with a gentleman's tone. "But first, take a seat."

"Congratulations, Remko Akko." a voice sarcastically mused. "You're getting shipped off!"

Remko had a lean yet muscular build with a rather androgynous appearance as he had rather feminine features, especially in his facial structure. He possessed a bright brown left eye and a silver right eye and short cut hair that was silver in colour, though the most eye catching thing about him was his arm that was of a silver, metallic colour with a prisoner's number burned onto the wrist.

He was dressed in the prison jumpsuit, however the top part of it wasn't being worn, hanging down his waist tied together as a makeshift belt, though he did wear the white tank top as well as a pair of sandals.

"Good fucking riddance." spat the guard. Remko glared bitterly at the guard who rose his foot down at the sitting Remko.

"Now, now. No need for that kind of language." came the voice belonging to an old man. "You must be Remko Akko, yes?" the old man then shooed away the guard, who promptly left.

The old man was dressed in a business suit, hunched over a little bit but not too much and held a thin, black cane in his right hand. He had plenty of wrinkles, dark bordeaux coloured eyes and short and near grey hair that was combed neatly, but was clearly going through hair loss.

"What do you want?"

The old man chuckled a bit. "Have you heard of the prison, Styx?" he asked, but didn't wait for any reply. "You are being shipped off to Styx, I just wanted to met you before then."

Remko glared at the old man and spoke with words that were still bitter, "...Who are you?"

"Ah, you might of heard of me. I'm director Sukuinote, of the company Helping Hands."

Remko's eyes widened a little. Helping Hands was a rather big company, globally though it was primarily in Japan for their main headquarters. They dabbled in a lot of different field, from medicine to hero support. However, the one thing they were popular and well known for, was children. Orphanages, adoption shelters, you name it. A lot of Helping Hands was focused around childcare.

You'd had to be living under a rock or choose not to notice the company in some way if you never heard of them. "Then why are you here?"

"As I said, I wanted to see you before you get shipped to Styx, as I'm making my way there myself." the old man gave him a warm smile. "I look forward to seeing you then, Remko."

That just left the soon to be shipped off prisoner wondering and curious.

"Akita," came the voice of some nameless female prisoner. "How was it?"

Akita smiled as she had returned from meeting Demi, sitting in between two loyal followers. "I think it went well," she took a hold of one of her follower's chins.

"From the look of things, they didn't look to convinced after you left."

The head woman wearing the guard's jacket shrugged. "Then I shall show them the power of my influence should I need to, besides, they always join in the end." she then glanced to the woman who expressed concern for her as she gently placed a hand on her cheek. "Thank you for looking out for me~." she cooed.

The top bitch turned her head to see Chikuha head towards were she once was. "Oh, this might be fun to watch."

"Akita?" asked a different follower.

"Hm? Oh, its nothing to worry yourself over. Just something fun might happen soon."

The follower eased as Akita patted her head softly as Akita's eyes lingered on Chikuha as the other two cronies just looked at each other.

"Ah, we're finally here." said the bus driver with the skull for a head as she parked the dull, grey bus. "Enjoy your vacation, Shi?"

Shi was large, strong, and very intimidating. Her muscles could be seen through her clothes, a clear powerhouse, but she exhibits a lot of jackal like features. Primarily, her head. Her entire head was that of a jackal's head complete with the fur, the muzzle and even the large ears that went with her light brown eyes. She also had a fluffy black and white jackal tail with the black and white fur also going up her back and even her hands were a bit paw-like as her skin was that of a light brownish shade.

Her uniform was pretty much the same as everyone else's except for her hole for her tail and the few rips or smudges that seemed to come from a rumble of some kind. The more personal addition to her was the black, spiked collar around her neck which also had a golden name-tag on it that said: Cerberus.

Shi Banken, didn't respond immediately but she did nod as she picked up her duffle bag.

Zugaikotsu Kokkaku, the skull headed bus driver, fixed up her guard uniform but lacked a hat much like Shi did. "Quiet as ever, huh?" Compared to Shi, she wasn't nearly as built, having a more slim and curvy appearance.

Shi sniffed the air as the two walked back into Styx. "Everything okay, Shi?" Zugaikotsu looked concerned at her coworker as Shi snarled a little. "Did something happen?"she didn't have the same sort of nose as Shi, so she just hoped it wasn't anything to serious.

"Shi! Wait up!" Zugaikotsu called out as she followed the jackal, who seemed to be ready to go back to work.

It seems that, Cerberus: The Guard Dog of the Styx, was back home and judging from the look of things, had some work to do.

Hey! Isn't this a nice surprise! An update! Wooo! Sorry it took a little bit, but now, that it's here, I hope you all enjoy. Now everyone has been introduced in some way ;) some more subtle than others. Now we start the journey through Styx. I'm looking forward to the arcs, and I hope you guys are looking forward to them too. :D Have a great day/night!
