Storm Master - Yeah I did kind of rush the last chapter lol. I just wanted to end the Riser Arc as soon as possible so I can move on, but I hope this chapter makes up for the rushed writing from the last chapter. And a team up with Ryusei and Kiba is definitely an idea I'll use, thanks!
R3hmix - Thanks for reading and I'm happy you liked it!
Guest - LOL yeah I wanted to make her more of a warrior then your typical good guy. I'm basing my angels off of Supernatural, so they'll be more of a warrior race then anything else. I hope you like it!
11"Gods I hate school." Ryusei couldn't stop moving around as Asia tightened the tie around his neck. After five years away, and two weeks after coming back, Ryuse was finally starting school. His parents had finally come home from their little vacation, and enrolled Ryusei into Kuoh Academy, the same school as his brother. Asia and Issei were his upperclassmen, so Ryusei was stuck in the first year class.
After five years of having to worry about how he was going to survive to see tomorrow, and another two weeks of being pulled into a supernatural world, school seemed like a distant dream. He was happy to be trying to live a normal life again, but he knew that a normal life was too far out of his reach. He knew he was too far from human to even be considered normal, but he could at least try.
"You look great, Ryusei-Kun." Asia smiled, and backed away, pulling a mirror in front of him.
He was wearing the Kuoh blazer, black with golden rims and edges, over a gray hoodie, unzipped, and a white dress shirt with a black tie. He wore black skinny jeans and a pair of sneakers. Asia had picked out the outfit for him, and he had to say, not half bad.
"I never understood why you had to wear a uniform to learn," Ryusei said, fixing his hair. Just yesterday, Griselda had cut his hair. He wasn't sure if it was safe, seeing as she was a lot more scary in a fight then he could have imagined, but Dulio vouched for her. It turned out pretty good. She had turned his messy, long brown hair, into a modern, medium undercut. The sides were faded bald, yet the top slicked back nicely. He was genuinely surprised that Griselda could cut hair, she didn't seem like much of a barber.
"You look great, and don't slouch!" She slapped his back, straightening his spine. "There. Now, let's go downstairs and eat. Your mother and father prepared a delicious breakfast."
Downstairs, in the kitchen, his mother and father sat by the dining table with Issei, staring at the food. Issei's mouth was watering, but his mother made sure he didn't eat until Ryusei and Asia had sat down. His father smiled and handed them bowls and chopsticks. "Are you excited for school, Ryu?" His father asked.
Hyoudou Satoshi, that was their father. He's the vice president of Utopia, a science and technology researching company based in Kuoh. He has a six digit monthly salary and looks like a twenty year old despite being 39, safe to say the Hyoudou family was financially set. His father had short, spiky black hair and gray eyes, which was how Ryusei got his gray colored eyes despite his brother having brown eyes. He looked like he was in his early twenties, smooth skin and a childish smile.
His mother, Hyoudou Kairi, was a 35 year old housewife with long, shiny brown hair tied in a braid. She had kind brown eyes and a gentle smile. She also, for some reason, looked 20 despite her actual age. It was like his parents had perfected a serum for looking young…his dad did work as a VP for a science and technology research center. To anyone else who wasn't in their family, they were probably the best looking family they had ever seen.
As they ate, his father talked about what they saw on their cruise. It was a two week cruise to the Caribbean. It was a company trip from Utopia, but his father had doubts about leaving Ryusei right after he came home, but Ryusei urged them to go. Firstly, he wanted them to experience a little life after worrying about him for five years. Secondly, he needed to set his second life without them finding out.
"Did you guys hear about that hooded guy on the news?" His mother asked. "Two weeks, we come back and hear there's a vigilante?"
Ryusei, Issei, and Asia all almost choked on their food. They exchanged looks, before Asia took the initiative. "Yes, weird."
"I hear he threatened Amadeus." His mother continued. "Honey, isn't he a partner of Utopia?"
Ryusei suddenly lost his appetite. This was going to be harder then he thought. Growing up, his parents and brother were always there for him. They were his pillars, people he could open up to and lean on for help. Now, his parents were left in the dark and they can never know. Lying to them would just be the beginning.
"I don't know," His father said, to Ryusei's surprise. "I think what he's doing is good. Amadeus was a bad man, he extorted the poor for their money and kicked them out of their homes. Whatever people say," His father turned to Ryusei. "that vigilante is a hero."
Ryusei gulped. Why did he get the feeling his father knew more then he was letting on? Before Ryusei could pry, however, Issei got up. "Oh crap. We're going to be late. Come on, let's go!"
Asia and Ryusei quickly wolfed down their breakfast and grabbed their bags. "We'll see you guys after school. Love you!"
"Have a nice day you three!" His mother waved as the three of them raced out the door and up the street.
The sky was cloudy, which wasn't a good thing. It was the first thing in the morning, and Ryusei couldn't see the clouds. If Kaito had taught him anything, it was trust the feeling in your gut. And right now, it was screaming that something wasn't right.
Kuoh Academy was a massive school, taking up over three blocks with a massive school building and several smaller buildings for extra curricular activities. The main gate was about to close, if they didn't run faster they weren't going to make it.
Issei inhaled and fully sprint the last few feet, sliding through. The gap was too small, Ryusei and Asia wasn't going to make it. Ryusei clicked his tongue and made a quick decision. He grabbed his bag and Asia's and threw it over the gate. "Catch!" He shouted to Issei, as he grabbed Asia and swung her over his shoulder. He jumped off one foot, and used his arm for elevation to vault over the 7 foot gate, and land on his feet.
Ryusei set Asia down, but her eyes were spinning like crazy. "W-What happened?"
He smiled. "We made it."
"We're going to be late. Do you know where your class is?" Issei asked.
Ryusei nodded. "I'll find it. Go."
Issei nodded, before taking off with Asia. Ryusei smiled as he picked up his bag, and dusted off the dirt. He pulled the enrollment letter from his bag. Class 1-A. Kuoh Academy's main school building was sectioned off by floors, the first floor for the first years, second for second years, and third for third years, so 1-A was on the first floor. He walked into the school and began to look for his class.
However, he underestimated the size of this school. Every turn led to an unknown hallway, and every room was for a different purpose. The classrooms were to one hallway, but also spilled into another section. The walls were a pale white, but the tiles on the floor were teal blue. It went well together, looked like Lord Micheal's office, except a lot bigger.
"Ara? Are you lost, first year?"
Ryusei glanced back to see an upperclassmen. She had long, bright brown hair, curled into ringlets at the end. Her eyes were a dazzling green, and she carried a tennis ball and racket. She had a rather curvy body, like that of Rias Gremory of Himejima Akeno. In fact, he was getting the same feel from Rias and Akeno, or even Giselda and Lady Gabriel…she wasn't necessarily a human.
"A senpai," Ryusei sighed in relief. "Thank Gods. Can you tell me where Class 1-A is? I new, and I have no idea where my class is."
"Class 1-A huh?" She touched her chin and examined Ryusei with those emerald eyes. "Follow me, I'll show you."
Walking through the halls of Kuoh Academy, with this unnamed senpai felt weird. She had an air around her that screamed extraordinary, yet he wasn't sensing anything other than human from her. As they walked, she bounced the tennis ball, and spun the racket around her hand.
"Are you in the tennis club senpai?" Ryusei asked.
"Yeah, that's right," She smiled. "I'm actually the captain. My name's Abe. Kiyome Abe."
Kiyome Abe. "I'm Hyoudou Ryusei."
"Well, Hyoudou Ryusei," Kiyome-Senpai smiled. "You should drop by the tennis club sometime. We can use some new blood. We've won the national championship for three years straight."
Three years, ever since she was a first year. Ryusei figured she must be some amazing player. "I'm actually more of a basketball player than tennis. But I'll drop by sometime."
"Good to hear," They stopped in front of Class 1-A. The halls were empty, so everyone must be in class already. "Well, I'm off. I'll see you again, Hyoudou Ryusei-San."
She waved good-bye as she strolled away. Ryusei was left in amazement and bewilderment. Suddenly, the doors slid open. The teacher cleared his throat, and crossed his arms. "Care to explain why you are late on your first day, new student?"
Ryusei turned to face the teacher, only to be stared down by Dulio. Gone was his angelic garb, he now wore a gray and black business suit with his hair slicked back and eyes fixed on Ryusei. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"That's how you talk to your teacher after being fifteen minutes late?" Dulio asked. "You have got some nerve new kid. Get in here and introduce yourself."
All eyes were on Ryusei as he stepped into class. This wasn't exactly the first impression he had in mind, but he had no choice but to stand in front of the class with Dulio's amused look and arrogant smile on him. "Well? What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?"
Ryusei glared at the angel. He cleared his throat and addressed the class. "My name is Hyoudou Ryusei. I've been…away, for the past five years, but I look forward to meeting all of you. I hope we can all be friends." He smiled, and you could practically hear the girls screaming from a block away.
"Everyone shut up!" Dulio shouted. "Ryusei, take your seat in the back, right behind Koneko-Chan right there. Koneko-Chan, can you raise your hand?"
Koneko, the white haired loli in the back, raised her hand. Her shoulder length white hair, her golden amber eyes. Toujou Koneko, she was Rias Gremory's Rook.
Ryusei walked to the back and sat down. "Hey, Koneko-Chan. Good to finally meet you."
"Nice to meet you." she said in an emotionless tone. "What you did at the party was stupid. Rias got in trouble because of you."
Ryusei smiled awkwardly. "I guess everyone's going to be mad at me when Issei was the one who crashed the party. How is Rias? Is she okay?"
"She is okay," Koneko said. "But she is sad about Issei. She thinks he has yet to forgive her."
"I see." Ryusei had to agree with her there. As if crashing the party wasn't bad enough, an Archangel showed up and declared their dominance over the Devils. Sirzechs was to be punished even more severely if they hadn't crashed the party, but Sirzechs probably won't let this go. Ryusei had the feeling that things would only get worse from here on out.
"Hey, shut up will you? School is for learning." Dulio said in a authoritative tone. He was like an entirely different person in school. In fact, what the hell was he doing here anyways!
Dulio went on about Genesis. They were reading up on their biblical knowledge and Dulio had a lot to say on the subject. Every now and then he would add comments about the angels, or talk about Adam and Eve as if he knew them.
After class, before Ryuse could get up and leave for lunch, Dulio slammed his hand on Ryusei's desk. The other students, including Koneko, had left, so it was okay for Ryusei to speak up now. "What the hell are you doing here, Dulio?"
He shook his head. "Wrong. Guess again."
Suddenly, an image replaced Dulio's body. It was a sudden flicker, but he saw who he was…who she was. "Lady Gabriel? That you?"
Dulio, or Gabriel, raised a finger and touched her/his nose. "Bingo. I came to check up on you, see your first day of school."
"Why? What about Lord Micheal? And are you possessing Dulio's body?" Ryusei asked.
"My brother is busy with political issues," Lady Gabriel said, in Dulio's voice. "After the little fiasco with the engagement party, Heaven's been getting complaints about the future of the faction system. Micheal is worried Sirzechs might start another war, and then there's the whole ordeal with this Jack the Ripper copy."
"Jack the Ripper copy?" Ryusei asked.
Dulio/Gabriel clapped his/her hands together. "That's right! I wanted to give a warning." Her eyes narrowed and her posture low. She was serious. "For the past two weeks, there have been a string of serial killings in London, Whitechapel. Prostitutes with their throats slit and a letter found at the crime scene. The letter begins with…can you guess?"
"Dear Boss?" Ryusei guessed. "So it's true? There's a Jack the Ripper copycat?"
"Afraid so," Gabriel sighed. "What's even worse is that whoever he is, he's completely warded against us? He either has knowledge of Enochian magic, or he has Enochian sigils inscribed on his bones. It's the only way to be warded completely from even my eyes."
"So you guys can't catch him?" Ryusei asked.
"At least not in our current state," Gabriel explained. "We sent three angels to investigate the situation, but two of them never reported back and the other returned with a message inscribed on her stomach."
"You mean…"
Gabriel nodded. "He cut the message onto her stomach. 'Guess who'."
Ryusei could feel his stomach twist in a knot. Torture was one thing, but there are certain people, other than him, who know the true art of interrogation. "He's taunting you. Saying you can't catch him because you can't even find him."
Gabriel nodded. "We recovered the body of the other two angels. They were barely recognizable. Raphael is having a tough time with this. If he sends anymore angels, they might turn out like the last three. But if he doesn't do anything, more humans will die."
"How many victims so far?" Ryusei asked.
"As of today," Gabriel said. "seven. He kills every few nights, but strictly in Whitechapel. It's a major commercial area so it's a perfect hunting ground."
Ryusei had read about Jack the Ripper when he was a kid, it was one of his favorite subjects, serial killers. He stalked the streets of Whitechapel in the 19th century. In a span of 12 weeks, he killed five prostitutes, each more gruesome then the last. And each victim, a letter to the police. Dear Boss.
"Well, I just wanted to check up on you," Gabriel said. "Don't worry about your real teacher, he'll be back by tomorrow. I just used some magic to disguise myself. I'll see you later, Ryusei."
And just like that, she was gone. Ryusei was left alone in the spacious classroom, pondering to himself. He stared out the window, at the students walking about. He was remembering Kaito, and what he believed in. It was them, the ignorant mundanes who wished to live in peace. Those who were in the dark, shrouded by the veil of normal. It was someting that Kaito, or rather Raziel, died protecting. To protect those who could not protect themselves. It was almost sun down, and the vigilante was about to strike again.
…
Lian-Yu, Five Years Ago
Valper Galilei's camp was massive. The men had cut down dozens and dozens of trees to make room for tents and benches filled with monitors and military grade equipment. There were guns and rifles, but also objects of divinity like staffs or wands. The men were dressed in black robes, with the only exception being Galilei himself, who wore a white and gray priest's garb. He must have thought, deep in his heart, he was still a soldier of God.
There were about a dozen tents, all the same color and size, safe for one in the very back. It was larger, probably meant for Galilei. There were men on the work benches; reading books and checking monitors, men checking the weapons, even people sparing in a circle.
Shrouded by the trees and bushes, Ryusei, Kaito, and Jin were obscured by the forest. Jin had his hood up, so was Kaito. Jin had his bow and quiver, Kaito had his knife, and Ryusei had his bow staff in baton form strapped to his back. This was meant to be a rescue mission, but also recon. They had to find Krissy and Lyon, to see if they were still alive, but to also see what Galilei was up to.
"What a minute," Jin said, and glared at something covered by a big black sheet. "those are military grade missiles. What the hell is a priest doing with military grade missiles?"
"Maybe he wants to blow up some churches?" Ryusei suggested.
Kaito shook his head. "No, he plans to open the Gate to Purgatory." He explained. "Opening the Gate requires a massive amount of energy. For an angel, it would be easy, but he isn't an angel. He'll have to fire a lot of those missiles if he wants to even creep open the gate, let alone open it fully."
"I don't think opening it is his plan," Jin said, pointing to a punch of antenna looking objects. They looked like big coned antenna like in the old days when you needed an antenna on the roof of your house for T.V. "Those are frequency absorbers. Modified correctly, they can absorb the energy released from the Gate. I think he plans to just absorb the energy. If he opens it, he may not be able to control how long it's open, or what comes out."
Suddenly, Ryusei heard a loud scream that pierced the camp. However, no one other than the three of them seemed to even hear it. He recognized that voice… "Krissy."
"Damn," Kaito balled his fist. "At least she's alive. We have to get to her."
Jin sighed. "All right. We split up. I'll go with Ryusei to check on them, Kaito you stay here and keep watching. Make sure you're not spotted, but keep a close eye on what they're doing."
Kaito nodded, and before Ryusei could head off with Jin, he took his hand. "Be careful."
Ryusei nodded. "You too."
In order to avoid detection, Ryusei and Jin had to circle around the entire camp. They would stop occasionally when Jin felt like they were being watched, however the always kept moving. Finally, they reached the tent where Krissy's scream originated from. It was the big tent way in the back. Out front, it was guarded by two men with guns. "I'll take the one on the right, you take the left." Ryusei nodded.
Jin ducked and rolled, firing an arrow that lodged itself in the man's back. He rushed over and cuffed his hands around his mouth, slowly twisting the arrow so he could bleed faster.
As quickly and smooth as Jin's take-down, Ryusei on the other hand, had trouble. It wasn't technique or swiftness, he just froze. Doing this in training was one thing, but to physically do it in person, his whole body froze. Fear quickly overtook his mind, and he could barely move his hands let alone take down an armed man.
Jin, however, didn't wait around. He shot three arrows into the man's chest, before cuffing his hand over his mouth so he couldn't scream. "What's the matter with you? Why'd you freeze up?'
"I-I-I…" Ryusei could barely speak. "I'm…I'm sorry."
Jin sighed. "Whatever, c'mon, we have to get inside ."
Ryusei readied his baton, this time, he wasn't going to freeze. He took a deep breath, before nodding to Jin. The man took a step inside, and released an arrow at one of the guards.
Inside was a torture chamber. Lyon's body was hung by the wrists, his head was lifeless. Krissy was bloody, her arms were full of cuts and her body full of bruises. Her shirt was cut up, revealing a lot of skin, and she could barely register what was happening.
There were five guards inside, and while Jin took the ones on the right, Ryusei tripped one on the left and punched another in groin. "Krissy!" He dropped his baton and cut her down from the rope. She fell, but he caught her on the ground. He checked her pulse, she was still alive.
"R-Ryu?" She asked, barely conscious.
"Yeah, it's me," Ryusei smiled, but faced Jin. "We have to get them out of here."
Jin cut Lyon down from his restraints, and carried him on his shoulder. He helped Krissy up to her feet and help her walk. "All right, let's go."
Just as they walked to the front of the tent, one of the men on the floor was still conscious. He pulled out his rifle and fired a shot. Ryusei felt a massive surge of pain in his right calf, and fell down. "Ryu!" Jin said.
"GO!" He shouted. "Get them out of here."
"But kid-"
"I said GO!" Ryusei shouted.
Jin looked conflicted, but took Lyon and Krissy and ran. Ryusei felt a slight feeling of relief. He grabbed the rifle from another man and fired at the one who shot him. He did it, he killed someone.
The curtain of the tent opened, and in came Valper Galilei. The man was of a small stature, in his early to mid 40's, with gray hair and a kind smile. He looked like a nice enough man, but Ryusei has heard too many things about him to fall for his little act.
"My, my," Valper said. "This won't do at all. The other two didn't know a thing, but I'm sure you're a different story."
Two men from behind Valper walked in, and dragged Ryusei to Krissy's spot, hanging him by the wrist. Ryusei glared at the excommunicated priest, fear filling his heart. "Make him talk." Was all Valper said, before leaving. Taking his place was a man. A man wearing a sleeveless vest with a hood covering his face. He wore black leather pants with knives strapped to his thighs. His right arm was equipped with a blade that shot out from below his forearm. However, the most notable feature about the man who was about to torture Ryusei, was his left arm. Covering his entire arm from shoulder to wrist, was a tattoo…a tattoo of twin dragons.
…
Kuoh. This city was always a place Kuroka never wanted to visit. Not only was it the city literally owned by the family who took her little sister, Shirone, it was also the home of the vigilante…the Hood. Kuroka never imagined coming to this city, however now seemed like a logical time to visit.
He was here, she could sense it. Ever since meeting him, seeing him face to face, Kuroka could not shake the feeling of fear from her heart. His maniacal smile, his beady golden eyes. The mere thought of him shook her to her core, and now she was out hunting him, again.
She flew on Nimbus with Bikou, circling the skies of Kuoh as the sun began to set. Bikou looked excited to find Jack. He had a smile on his face like the one he had when he and Vali fought seriously. The same, battle hungry smile. What is it with guys and proving how strong they are?
Kuroka secretly wanted to sneak off and visit Shirone, but she knew that Vali would be more than upset if she did. Instead, she had to comply and go Ripper hunting with the stupid monkey.
"Oh look," Bikou said. "I found him."
"Are you serious?" Kuroka asked. They've been flying around for half an hour, and now they finally found him?
Kuroka looked to where Bikou was pointing. On top of a T.V tower, standing by the ledge, was a figure cloaked in black. The ends of his trench coat seemed to burn like hot flames, yet fade away as if it were never there. The process continued as the wind blew by. He had on a dark top hat with a single white stripe by the base of it. His face was obscured by was looked like a bag, with eye holes but his face was completely hidden. He extended his hands as Kuroka and Bikou drew closer on Nimbus.
"So we meet again, little kitty." Jack said. "I hope you're not too scared to face me this time."
Kuroka glared her eyes. Bikou extended his staff and pointed it at Jack. "All right creepy man, this time you'll be facing me."
"Sorry monkey, I have no interest in you." Jack balled his fist, and a cane dropped from his sleeve. He swung the cane a few times, looping around his wrist, before the bottom of the cane dropped. The handle was the handle of a short blade, and as Jack caught the sheathe, he stepped forward and seemed to teleport past Bikou.
"Did you miss me?" He asked, his face directly in front of Kuroka. She couldn't move. It was the same as before. It was like fear over took her ability to think or move. All she could do was imagine the worse, her death.
From behind her, Kuroka heard the sound of an arrow flying by. Jack's hand wrapped around Kuroka, and deflected an arrow, which stabbed the ground. She looked to see the arrow, and to see a light beeping from the arrow head. Suddenly, smoke filled the area. A smoke bomb arrow.
Kuroka could move. She flipped back, out of the smoke screen. Bikou had jumped out, but just in that time, a figure had swooped in. When the smoke cleared. Kuroka watched as a figure in a black hood, with a bow and arrow, and a dragon tattoo on his left arm. He was fighting Jack, with an arm around the killer's neck, trying to hold him.
Jack laughed like a crazy man. "Finally! Finally he shows himself. I have been waiting for you. The main event can finally begin!"Jack sheathed the blade, and stabbed the figure's feet. Jack kicked him back, escaping to laugh maniacally.
Kuroka was about to step in, but Bikou stopped her. He shook his head. Bikou, telling her to stay out of a fight? He would always be the one to jump in and fight regardless of who he was fighting? To see him willingly step down, these were two titans.
"Hyoudou Ryusei," Kuroka said aloud. "That's him."
Bikou nodded. "It seems the vigilante rumors were true. Kuoh's got a guardian angel on their shoulders."
The sun had finally set, and the moon began to rise. Ryusei had risen to his feet, an arrow knocked on his bow. He raised it and shot at Jack, who just took the arrow as if it were nothing. The arrow was lodged in his heart, yet Jack pulled it out as if it were a nuisance. "Come on, you think that's going to kill me?"
"Who are you?" Ryusei asked.
Jack grabbed his heart and screamed in pain. "It pains me to hear that you do not know me. Oh how cruel this world is! Oh Gods!"
This was completely different from the Jack Kuroka had met a few days ago. This one was more violent, and a lot crazier.
"Did you kill those people," Ryusei asked. "in Whitechapel? Was that you? And the angels?'
"Guess who!" Jack laughed, amused. "Don't worry, Arrow, there will be more treats like that. For now, turn around. I'm sure you will love what I had in store for you."
Kuroka finally noticed. In the back, there was smoke rising from multiple locations. They were all around the city's border, where the forest meets the city. "Did…Did he-"
"What did you do!" Ryusei demanded.
Jack laughed. "This is our first of many meetings. I wanted to make it special."
"He set bombs all around the city, and detonated them all at once." Bikou said to Kuroka's horror.
"Why are you doing this?" Ryusei asked. "Why would you?"
"Why would I?" Jack said, and walked over to Ryusei. "I want you to see, that you are nothing without me. I want you to feel what it's like to have everything taken away from you. I want you to feel Hell on earth. I want you to see that we are one. This is what happens, when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force." Jack walked past Ryusei and to the ledge of the tower. He extended his arms and stared at Ryusei. "Welcome, to your very own Hell, Arrow."
With that, he fell back and down below. Kuroka raced to the ledge, and watched as Jack disappeared. All that was left was his laugh. The laugh that sent shivers down her spine. She turned to Ryusei, who hadn't moved an inch since facing Jack.
"What will you do?" Bikou asked.
Without saying a word, he drew an arrow from his quiver, a grappling hook arrow, and shot it at a building down below. Just like that, he swung away and raced towards the burning buildings. Even from up here, Kuroka could hear the screams of people below. "Guardian angel, huh?"
"C'mon, we have to report back to Vali." Bikou said, summoning Nimbus. "Afterwards, I think it's time we finally meet the Red Dragon Emperor."
Author's Note - Well I hope you guys liked this chapter. I tried to handle Jack like Joker, but of course I will be open to changes so tell me what you guys would like to see. I also tried to make Ryusei more a human in the flashbacks. Since coming back he's been more of an angel than a human, so I wanted to root him to what it's like being human. The torture scenes will come soon so things will be pretty dark.
One important thing I wanted to also do was make Issei's parents a part of the story. They don't get much screen time in the anime, and I thought it would be cool for them to have some kind of past or be affiliated with the Shadow World like Oliver's parents were. Mainly it will be Ryusei's dad, but I haven't decided how to make his character fit in, so tell me what you guys think because I feel like having his parents in the story might be a good thing since they rarely get a say in anything in the anime. Anyways, that's just me, so I hope you guys liked this chapter and tell me what you think. Thanks for reading :)
