Razen was walking through the streets of Asakusa listening to Wale 'Matrimony'. He still had quite a bit of time before Tsubame was to show up. He reached into his bag and pulled out an aloe drink and basically chugged it in a few gulps before sitting down on a nearby bench in an open park as he took in the sites.
-Cue android 16 theme from DBZ ost Bruce Faulconer edition-
'Gotta admit, this world is pretty nice, when chaos isn't running amok.' he thought to himself as he continued listening to his music.
As he was thinking his mind drifted towards the Hanzo shinobi.
'They are strong but they can be soo much better and probably don't even realize it. Hibari needs to overcome her fear and put more heart into fighting to protect. Yagyu needs to keep her emotions under control, that kind of recklessness can and will get you killed in battle. I understand what she's going through but she has to focus on the here and now or she'll lose it and herself. I don't know much about Ikaruga aside from her past with her family, I should probably learn more about her. Katsuragi is a little bit too laid back. Its okay to stay relaxed during a battle but there's a limit to how much and she needs to take things a bit more seriously and Asuka's main flaw is one that they all seem to share but she has it the worst, she lacks experience. She has the heart but that alone can only go so far.'
As Razen looked around at the peaceful scenery before him, something or rather someone caught his attention. She was wearing a long sleeved light blue mid-riff length button down sweater with the top portion unbuttoned to show off her large chest slightly, a royal blue shirt shirt underneath it, a plaid pattern short blue skirt and royal blue knee high boots.
She stood at around 5'5 to 5'6, light red eyes, fair skin and long blonde hair however, it wasn't just her appearance that caught his attention, it was what she was doing. She was leaning against a mirror, seemingly admiring her own reflection.
-End ost-
"What the Sanctum?" questioned Raze with a sweat drop.
The young women seemed to catch him out the corner of the mirror. She quickly turned around to face the dumbfounded Raze, causing him to jump slightly in surprise. She walked over towards him, swaying her hips as she moved and leaned in towards his face slightly. Raze caught a slight whiff of a sweet aroma coming from her, causing him to blush. She seemed to catch this and smiled.
"As expected, you are charmed by my beauty are you not?" she said as she flipped her hair.
At this Razen snapped out of his stupor and gave her a weird look.
"It is understandable to be speechless, you are in the presence of a goddess after all, divine beauty in it's purest form." she stated.
'What the literal fuck?' thought Raze
It then occurred to Raze who this girl before him was. It was Souji of Hebijo academy. A girl who could easily have passed as a model. Seeing her in person, Razen had to admit that she was extremely beautiful and possessed a sexy sort of aura, but her attitude was a huge turn off. She was complete narcissist yet she vehemently denies it every time someone calls her such, despite the fact that even her teammates have said the exact same thing about her.
"Hey, I know that I am the most beautiful girl you've ever seen, but do try not to stare so much." she said, snapping Raze out of his thoughts.
Razen sighed before he stood up and looked her right in the eyes. Keep in mind despite his lazy outlook, Raze still looked pretty intimidating.
"W-what? Is something a miss? Wait, let me guess, you want to ask me out, am I right?" she asked as she leaned forward again.
"No." he replied
Souji's eyes went wide with shock.
'Did this boy...just deny a goddess?' she thought
"I will admit, you are very attractive but your personality is is that of a narcissist." he replied
"What! I am most certainly not a narcissist." she retorted
"You are referring to yourself as a being of divinity. If that isn't conceited then I don't know what is." he replied
"Why you heathen. You dare to belittle a goddess!" she stated with fury.
"No, its not like I'm lying or anything. I really do mean it when I said you are really pretty and all, but the way you carry yourself is that of a narcissist." replied Razen
This only served to fuel Souji's rising anger.
"You insolent little pr..."
"Whoa there are kids around here. This is a park remember." he stopped her little rant.
"Anyway, I apologize for that. It was a bit out line to say something like that outright like that. If you'd like, I could treat you to a hotdog or something else if you want." Razen offered
Upon hearing him offer to treat her to her favorite food, Souji's anger quickly dispersed and she went back to normal.
"Hmph, awfully polite of you to offer something like that after everything you said to the goddess." she said with her eyes closed and arms crossed.
"Like I said, it's more of an apology milady." he replied
"Hmm, where did that come from just now?" she asked with a small smile and her eyes slightly opened.
"Well...I didn't want to make you mad again so since I don't know your name I decided to go with the next best thing." replied Razen
Souji sighed at this and then smiled.
"So the commoner wishes to know the name of the goddess standing before him? Very well, my name is Souji." she answered
'She's still referring to herself as a goddess?' thought Razen
"Souji huh? Has an interesting combination of coolness and sweetness to it. I'm Razen, Razen Phalanx, but everyone calls me Raze."
"Hehehe, if you are trying to earn some points with the goddess then I am afraid that won't happen and your name is rather unique. I cannot really find the words to describe it." replied Souji
"It's alright, I tend to get that a lot." he answered
The two entered what looked like a western styled restaurant. Raze took quick notice of the fact that the menu had some food from the USA that he seemed to recognize, so more or less he knew what he was getting.
"Welcome to Ollie's, can I take your order?" asked a cat eared maid.
'Great, a maid with cat ears. So much for western themed.' thought Razen
"Yes you may, I would like two of your finest hotdogs, no mustard." said Souji
'Wow, she has the same taste as I do.' thought Raze
"...Oh and one of those." she said as she pointed at an orange cream shake.
'Yep, same taste'
"And how about you sir?" asked the waitress.
As he was about to order the same thing as Souji, something on the menu caught his attention.
"Umm yea, can I try the Dee?" he asked
Everyone in the restaurant stopped what they were doing as everything went deadspace quiet as all eyes in the store were now on him and Souji, specifically him as he looked around in confusion before realizing what he said was interpreted very wrongly. Even the waitress was giving him a strange look.
"Wa-wait, that's not what I mean. I don't swing that way." he protested
Souji looked like she wanted to say something but the waitress cut in.
"Teehee, it's okay, I know what you meant and also the fact that you have such a beautiful girlfriend is more then enough." she replied
Souji's eyes widened slightly at her statement but before she could say anything, Raze gave her a pleading look. It was like he was speaking to her with his eyes, desperately pleading with her to help him out of the situation he had just gotten himself into. She narrowed her eyes slightly at him before closing them with a sigh and a slight blush. She then took his arm and held him close to her, causing him to blush intensely.
"Oh my, so lovey dovey." said the waitress
Raze blushed even brighter before looking back at Souji, who was giving him the old 'you owe me big' look, causing him to chuckle nervously. Once they had finished their orders, they took their seats across from each other.
"Thanks a lot for for getting me out of that mess there Souji, I'm really grateful." said Razen
"Hmph, you should be grateful. It is not everyday that one can actually say that they are with a goddess, even if it was a false statement." she replied before she started reading a book.
Razen took a moment to look her over. To say she was simply beautiful would be a vast understatement. She was possibly one of the most beautiful girls he'd ever seen, not counting Lady Infinity since she really is a goddess. For some reason, every time he looked at her face his heart would feel as if it skipped a beat or sped up.
'Ugh, this feeling.' thought the OverSeer.
'Can you feel it, coming in the air tonight, hold on,' Daymond sang inside Razen's mind.
'Shut it.' he replied back
"Oh I was meaning to ask this but where are you from? You certainly don't look like you are from around here." spoke Souji as their food arrived and she took a sip of her drink.
"Well I was born in America and my dad was Egyptian and my mother was half African American and half Japanese." he responded
"Interesting, did you get the red eyes from your father's side or are they contacts?" she asked
"Their completely natural, I got them from my Grandpa I believe because my dad had auburn eyes but grandpa had the crimson red, not quite as dark though." Razen answered
"Souji continued to look into his eyes. Normally a variety of eye colors could be found all over Asakusa, Tokyo but something about his crimson eyes was new. They were the darkest shade of red she had ever seen. Almost like the color of blood itself.
"Umm, uhh Souji! your getting...awfully close." he stuttered out.
"Hehehe, your nervousness towards me is understandable, me being a goddess but I must admit that your eyes...they intrigue me." she said
As she continued to look into his eyes she began seeing all the emotions whirling around inside of him. The most prominent being loneliness. She could tell he had friends but he still seemed like he was missing something. She then saw something weird in his eyes. As she focus on it the shape became clearer and her eyes widened as she saw something that shouldn't be there.
'Is that...a wolf?' she thought to herself.
She moved slightly closer and was able to identify the image. It was indeed a black wolf, only it was wearing a black and red armor plating set and it seemed to be glaring right at Souji.
'What the!' she thought to herself as she pulled away from his face which caused him to let out a breath he didn't even know he was holding.
'Was that a spirit animal? If it was then that means he's a ninja as well, but why does his spirit animal feel so...different?' she thought
While she caught a look at the wolf she felt a cold shiver down her spine. Something was not right with that animal. It felt like it was the embodiment of pure evil.
"Hey!" called Razen as he checked on the kunoichi.
"Oh, don't worry about me, I am a goddess after all."
Raze merely sighed before he looked at his food. Just as he was about to eat up he sensed a presence coming up behind him. Turning around, he caught sight of a teal green haired teenage girl coming towards them.
"Souji!" the girl called out.
"Oh, good afternoon Bashou." she replied
"Don't good afternoon me, we are supposed to be looking for Miyabi and the others, not goofing around with...biys." she said as she looked at Razen with a look of disdain which quickly turned to surprise as she noticed his red eyes.
"I am aware of that, but even a goddess needs refreshments." Souji stated
Bashou was about to retort but Raze spoke up first.
"This isn't her fault, I did this as an apology." he said before drinking another sip of aloe juice.
Bashou looked at him for a moment before responding.
"An apology for what?" she asked slightly annoyed that she was still wasting time here.
"He felt the need to say that I was a narcissist to my face, ridiculous don't you agree?" stated Souji
Bashou could only give her a look that seemed to say 'really, you ARE a narcissist' while she sweat dropped.
"Although he realized his folly and offered to refresh his goddess with a meal of her choosing." she finished proudly.
Bashou looked at Souji's plate and saw the remains of the two hotdogs and a near empty frosty cup.
"Honestly, how can you eat those things?" Bashou questioned her friend.
"We all have different taste. Mine being more refined, being a goddess." she answered
Razen chuckled and Bashou sighed at her response before turning towards Razen with a look of suspicion.
'Something about the way this guy looks. It's off and so is his aura. It seems like he's hiding something.' She thought as she looked down at him.
"Something wrong?" he asked the green haired shinobi.
"No, nothing is amiss. Let's go Souji." she demanded
"Okay, after I finish my meal. Even a goddess takes time out to eat and enjoy." she answered back.
Bashou merely sighed before taking a seat next to her as she ordered some tea.
"What kind of flavor would you like miss?" asked the waitress.
Bashou couldn't seem to decide between the different types of tea the shop had. They were a little bit different from what she was accustomed to. Not to mention that the earl gray, one of the few tea's she knew on the menu, was very expensive.
"She'll have the earl gray." spoke Razen, causing Bashou to look up from her menu right at him.
"Hold on, I can't afford something like that." she stated
"Don't worry about that, I've got it covered." he replied as he reached into his wallet and pulled out an a hundred dollar bill.
"You take American currency as well right?" he asked to receive a nod from the waitress.
It was around this time that Razen noticed that Bashou was smiling at him.
"Something wrong?" he asked
Souji smirked wickedly and Raze sweat dropped a bit from the vibe he was feeling. He felt like a frog being stared at by a large snake.
"You know, I like you. How would you like to be one of my servants?" she offered
Raze raised both eyebrows at this until Bashou suddenly popped Souji over the head with what looked like a paint brush.
"The was way beyond rude." said Bashou as she put her brush away.
"Ouch, you didn't have to smack me." she said as she rubbed the top of her head and then turned her attention back to raze who shook his head. Souji merely sighed before taking a sip of Bashou's tea.
"That was mine." said an annoyed Bashou.
"Oopsie, sorry." she said
Razen chuckled nervously at the display before him. Once they had finished their meals Bashou, Souji and Razen went their separate ways but not before Souji asked Raze to become her servant one more time, which again he declined. As the two kunoichi rounded the corner Razen was about to get back on track before he got a call from Daymond via telepathy.
'Razen'
'I'm here, what's up?'
'There's been a change in plans, drop the assignment.'
'A change?'
'Yea, is Jin around you right now?'
'No, he vanished after we left the Absolution.'
'Hmm, okay I'll get him in a second. Until I call you back stay on standby and try not to destroy anything.'
'I ain't that reckless.'
As Daymond ended the message, Razen sighed and started walking around but not even a moment later he caught sight of a familiar face moving through the crowd and not a pleasant one.
'Wait a second, that's...Viceroy.'
The boy stood about four to five inches shorter then Razen. He had green hair with electric blue highlights, violet eyes with power symbols in them, slightly tanned skin and a lazed expression. He was wearing a sleeveless black jacket that was zipped up all the way, a short sleeved white shirt, black cargo pants and black and white timberland's.
'So their already here. He's hiding his energ...wait a sec, who is that?' he thought as he turned his attention towards a girl that was looking at him.
'What the! Rosette?'
The girl in question was about 5'3, slender build, pretty large chest, same skin tone as Homura, sapphire blue eyes and ruby red hair. She was looking right at him and Razen knew it. Turning away quickly, he rounded the corner as he made his way towards a bridge. He looked back to see if she had followed him and saw no one.
"'Sigh' that was definitely Rosette alright, but what the hell is she doing here?" he thought as he walked towards a grassy area near the river before yawning.
"Hmm, guess I'll take a little nap for a while." He said to himself before laying on his back, hands behind his head and closed his eyes. Unknown to him, the game named Rosette did follow him as she watched from the top of a nearby building before she turned around and disappeared in a swirl of leaves.
-Daymond-
The alpha OverSeer let out a heavy sigh as he walked through a lush green grassland somewhere near the base of a large mountain. He looked around for a bit until he found what seemed to be a suitable location.
"Hmm, this should be sufficient." he spoke as he raised his hands which were soon engulfed in a platinum aura.
Suddenly there was a loud bang followed by a bright flash of light.
"Let the properties of time and space bind to my will."
As he said those words, multiple objects ranging from wood to steel, bricks and stone pillars began to materialize.
'Let's get our base built.' he thought
Just before he was about to start he froze and looked up at the sky as his eyes flashed.
"Another Sanctum change! Looks like another new OverSeer. Two in one week eh, that's a first."He spoke in slight surprise.
'I wonder who it is and what Sanctum they possess.' he thought
-Kirika-
"Hmm, another OverSeer has been born. I wonder what this one will turn out to be." thought Kirika before she turned her attention back towards her target.
"Ahh, there she is." she said as she saw Rin's figure make her way towards the old Hanzo school building.
"Time to begin the infiltration."she stated with a smile before disappearing.
-Jin-
"Huh, what was that?" questioned Jin as he looked up at the sky.
"Hmph, probably nothing important." He replied as he made his way through the crowd, not bothering to try to conceal his aura. If there was anyone with proper energy control around then they would be able to tell instantly that something was very off with him. As he proceeded forward he looked out the corner of his eye at something.
'Someones following me. A female, late teens, somewhat tall...brunette and a small amount of chi, she's trying to mask her presence...must be a kunoichi.' he thought as he picked up his pace slightly, only to sense her still following him.
'Still following me huh? Fine, if she continues...Then I'll have to deal with her personally.' he thought
Just a little ways behind him was a brown haired brown eyed girl around 5'6. She was taking great care as to not be noticed by him as she tried to keep him in her sights.
'This guy isn't even trying to hide his aura. Who the heck is he and what is he trying to do?' thought the girl as she continued to follow him.
-Razen-
Razen's eyes snapped open as he stared at the sky.
"A new OverSeer huh? looks like Lady Infinity has been busy."
Raze sat up with a yawn and stretched. It was at that moment that he sensed someone beside him. Looking to his right he quickly moved back upon seeing the person. She looked to be a bit shorter then Souji. She had shoulder length pink hair tied into two short side tails near the back. Razen turned to a crimson shade as he felt a strange warmth around his waist. The girl was embracing him. Razen turned almost blood red at this. This was the first time a girl had ever hugged him, aside from his sister. The girl opened her silver eyes slowly, smiling at the OverSeer.
"Hi." she said in a somewhat lazy manner.
"H-Hi" stuttered the OverSeer.
Apparently she noticed what kind of effect she was having on him and released him from the hug.
"Your funny." she said with a slight chuckle.
Razen slightly frowned at that. He didn't recognize the girl but her aura matched this worlds own which meant she wasn't a displaced.
"Do you usually hug sleeping strangers?" he asked, still blushing.
"Ummm no, only those who aren't bad." she replied
Razen raised an eyebrow at this.
"You also have a relaxed...and trusting aura...I like that." she said, still smiling.
Razen's face erupted red at that comment.
"Ummm...you have steam coming out your ears." she said as she reached up towards his face but he backed away.
"...Um?" she said
"S-sorry, I-I'm really bad at this." Razen apologized
As the girl looked at the OverSeer, Razen realized who she was.
'Wait a second, this must be Ushimaru, one of the new wave girls along with Souji and Bashou. Oh man, she really cute and pretty.' he thought
As he was thinking this, a hand found it's way onto his face startling him.
"Wait." said Ushimaru.
Razen seemed to be calming down at this action but still blushed as she rubbed the side of his face.
"May I have your name?" she asked
"Oh umm Razen, Razen Phalanx." he replied
"Ushimaru." she said while still rubbing his cheek and smiling.
"Can you...answer my question please?" he asked
"I did, I said it was because I like you and if you slept out her too long then you would get cold. Plus, I was sleepy as well." she replied as she removed her hand.
'This girl is rather odd.' he thought
"Do you take naps here often?" she asked
"No, I was just wandering around and happened to find this place." he replied
The pink haired shinobi looked around and smiled at the scenery.
"It is a good place." she said
"It really is." said Razen as he sat on a nearby bench.
"Can I sit here?" she asked
Razen shrugged and then moved over so she could sit have a space to sit. As they sat, Ushimaru seemed to be looking at him from the side but every time Raze turned to face her she turned her head away.
'This is getting a little weird.' thought Raze
"Raze?" called Ushimaru
"Huh?" replied the OverSeer at the mention of his nickname.
"Can I...call you Raze for short?" she asked
"Umm sure, that's my nickname anyway so I don't mind." he replied
"Raze, are you a pervert?" she asked with a small smile.
"What! no, where did that come from?" he asked with a bright blush.
"Do you not like big chested females?" she asked
"Umm, what?" replied a dumbfounded Raze
"Sempai told me all boys are perverts because all they think of is boobs." she replied
'Who the hell is this girls senior?" thought Raze before sighing and getting ready for a long explanation.
-Hanzo Academy-
The Hanzo elites, along with the other factions had pretty much healed from their wounds and were now walking around freely. Asuka and Yagyu were still a little banged up but nothing serious. The Gessen elites tried to leave but Hanzo would have none of it. Daidoji and Hijikata had also returned and were quite shocked to hear what had happened to their comrades.
"So your telling me that three people did all this?" questioned Daidoji
"Yes, each of them alone seemed to be incredibly skillful in the ninja and samurai arts." said Kiriya
"Skillful is an understatement. Our opponent looked like she wasn't even trying." said Homura, who was using a sparring dummy alongside Asuka.
Yumi was using the kitchen area to make food for her friends with Hanzo's permission. There was an uncomfortable vibe there since Yomi was also in the kitchen cooking.
"I hope you aren't just making bean sprouts again." called Mirai who was typing something on Hibari's laptop.
"I'm cooking what I can." she replied
"You are free to anything in the kitchen." said Hanzo
Upon hearing this all the Crimson Squad girls dropped what they were doing. Everything seemed to freeze for a minute before the entire Crimson Squad made a mad dash for the kitchen, surprising and angering Yumi.
"Hey, what the fuck?" called Ryobi who just barely avoided being trampled.
Shortly after the stampede, Yumi emerged from the kitchen carrying two trays of a hearty breakfast meal for her teammates.
"Everyone, the food is done." she said
As the Gessen girls all sat down to eat, Asuka was finishing up her training when she sensed an unfamiliar presence behind her. She quickly turned around and threw a kunai, which was caught by the newcomer.
"Who are you?" questioned Asuka
"I am an instructor from Hebijo Academy." she replied as she tossed the kunai at the dolls head and struck it dead center.
"Oh, you must be here for Miyabi-san and the others." said Asuka
Suzune merely nodded.
"What about Homura-chan?" asked Asuka
"Huh, Homura's here?" she questioned
"Yes and so is the entire Crimson Squad and Gessen elites." said Asuka
Before Suzune could respond, Homura came out and gasped in surprise seeing her old sensei.
"Suzune-sensei?" she called
The purple haired kunoichi looked at her former student and smiled.
"Homura, I'm glad to see you. You look like your doing well." she replied
"Yes, me and everyone else have been holding out pretty well on our own." she replied
"Oui Asuka, I need you...to..."
Daidoji walked into the area and froze upon seeing Suzune as she looked at her while showing slight surprise before retaining her usual face. Suzune looked at her with the same look as well.
"Rin..." said Daidoji in an eerily calm manner.
"Yes, it's been a while Daidoji." said Suzune (Rin) with a sad smile.
As the two stared down each other, Hanzo and Kiriya both walked in with Kiriya looking at his former student in surprise.
"Rin?" he asked
Suzune looked at her former sensei with the same sad smile.
"Kiriya sensei." she replied
"Suzune-sensei, you were a Hanzo student?" questioned Homura
At that moment the rest of the Crimson Squad members, the Hebijo elites and Gessen's Yumi and Yozakura entered the room. Once everything had settled down, Miyabi and Homura explained to Suzune what had happened to them.
"One Kunoichi did this to all of you?" she questioned in surprise.
"Yes, she was stronger then anyone or anything I've ever faced." said Miyabi
"Yea, that bitch was strong as hell." added Ryobi
"And fast as well. I think she could even match your speed sensei." said Haruka
Rin gave her a glaring look before putting her hand underneath her chin in a thinking position.
'Three shinobi that have never been heard of before suddenly appear and defeat three of the most powerful ninja factions elites and Homura's squad, so each of them must be able to hold their own against an entire squadron. Who exactly are they? Where did they come from and why are they here?' she thought
"Suzune-sensei?" called a concerned Mirai.
Suzune snapped out of her thoughts as she cleared her throat.
"I think it's for the best that we all try to find more information on those three before they show themselves to you again." said Kiriya
"Agreed, we should all be prepared for the next time they appear." spoke Rin
"definitely! Just you wait, I'm gonna take down Yukinahara next time we fight for sure. No matter what it takes." said Homura as she slammed a fist in her open palm.
"Teehee, I love you enthusiasm Homura-chan, but it will take a lot more then confidence to win against me." said a new voice.
The Crimson Squad and Hebijo elites all knew the voice but the others didn't.
"It's her! Where is she?" called Hikage
All the girl's looked around for the source of the voice but it was Homura who found her first, followed by Rin and Miyabi.
"You!" called Homura as she glared at the gymnasium ceiling.
All the girls, Hanzo and Kiriya looked up and there she was sitting on a steel beam. Kirika looked down at all the shinobi assembled in the gym and smiled.
"Well this is an interesting sight. Hanzo Academy, Gessen Academy, Hebijo Academy and the Crimson Squad all in one room and they haven't tried to kill each other yet." said Kirika with a smile.
Homura and Miyabi glared at the self proclaimed assassin as she jumped from the ceiling and landed gracefully on the gym floor without a sound. As she landed, Homura drew her six primary sword's and got into a battle stance. Miyabi followed suite as well, clearly ready for a fight.
"There is no need to be so on edge Homura-chan, Miyabi-san. I am merely here at the request of my leader Daymond." said Kirika
This caught Yozakura's attention. If she was working alongside those two male ninja's then she would obviously know where Razen Phalanx was. Not wasting any time, Yozakura brought out her gauntlets and pointed at Kirika.
"Where is Razen Phalanx?" demanded Yozakura
Kirika sighed before responding.
"He will most likely be heading back to our home base in a while." she answered
"Get him here now." demanded Yozakura
"Yozakura!" called Yumi
Hearing her leaders voice, Yozakura took a deep breath and managed to calm herself.
"Please, tell us who you guys are and what is it you want." pleaded Asuka as she stepped forward.
Upon seeing Asuka, Kirika's eyes lit up like a star. Asuka flinched a little and backed up, knowing that look all to well. Before she could take another step away, Kirika disappeared and then...
'glomp'
'Squeeeeeze'
"Khyaa!"
Everyone besides Katsuragi, who had stars in her eyes, stared in bewilderment at the scene before them. Kirika had appeared behind Asuka and was gropping her the same way she did Murasaki, only with more passion it seemed.
"Oh my goodness, so soft and squishy." said Kirika as she continued to fondle Asuka.
"Oh come oooon, not another Kasu." said the distressed Asuka
'Great, another Katsuragi.' thought Yagyu and Ikaruga.
"My my, such an aggressive young girl." said a smiling Hanzo
"Master please." said both Kiriya and Rin
"Khyaaaa, somebody please...stop her." pleaded Asuka
Fuuma apparently had all she could stand as she lunged at Kirika, who released Asuka as she saw the shinobi coming. Fuuma closed in on her and drew her large shuriken and attempted to slice her in half.
'Clang'
In the blink of an eye, Kirika drew Seriyu's sword and blocked the attack with one arm. Fuuma looked at her in shock while Kirika was still wearing that same smile from before. Fuuma jumped away and pointed her shuriken at the OverSeer.
"The one named Razen Phalanx." she said
"What about him?" questioned Kirika
"I know he is aware of this location. Tell him to come here, right now." ordered Fuuma
"Fuuma, calm down. Kirika, I would like to personally speak to your leader. I am pretty sure we all have a lot of questions for him." said Ikaruga
Upon the mention of her leader, Kirika saw Yagyu tense up slightly but she quickly calmed when she heard Hibari whisper her name.
'Those two are definitely made for each other.' thought Kirika
"Yes, I have questions for him as well." said Kiriya
"As do I, first being, who exactly are you?" asked Rin
Kirika looked at Rin with a smile as she nodded.
"That I can answer and I shall." she said as she sat down on the stage with her legs together.
"I am Yukinahara Shiraiyuki-Kirika, a long name I am aware. I am eighteen years of age. From the mere age of six I was orphaned, well more like abandoned and sold to a mercenary group that later killed my parents, where I received my assailant techniques and nearly eleven years later, after a certain incident which destroyed the group, I was found by 'someone' and placed under Daymond's wing soon after."
"So, Daymond isn't the true leader?" questioned Asuka
"He is our leader, but there is someone out there who he follows." replied Kirika
"You keep referring to that person as 'someone'. Is there a reason for that?" asked Daidoji
"Yes and unfortunately I cannot speak of who that person is right now." said Kirika
"Where did you acquire your knowledge of shinobi arts?" asked Hanzo
"I received most of my skills from Daymond except for my fire techniques. Turns out I am a very quick study." replied Kirika
"And where did you learn those?" questioned Homura
Ikaruga also seemed to be interested in learning who taught Kirika fire based skills and ninpo.
"Those were self taught. I have a natural affinity for fire so it was pretty easy." she replied
Everyone in the room, even the teachers and Hanzo were shocked to hear this
'Flame ninpo is one of the harder forms of ninpo to master, yet she taught herself how to control it. Who is this girl?' thought Hanzo
"Before I forget, you said that you are an assassin, ninja and samurai. Can you explain how you managed to the samurai skills?" asked Miyabi
"Oh yea, Razen and Daymond also said they were samurai as well shinobi to." said Asuka
"I am afraid that I cannot answer that question." replied Kirika
"Huh, why?" asked Asuka
"Because for me to answer that, I would have to reveal the identity of someone else and I cannot do that just yet." said Kirika
Asuka seemed a little disappointed but let it go.
"Hey, how is Razen able to control blood like that?" asked Katsuragi
At this question the whole room went silent that you could hear a whisper like a normal conversation. This was clearly something that was on everyone's mind's at the moment.
"Sorry, but even I'm not sure exactly sure how he can do that but I do believe it is because of the trait he possess." she replied
"Trait?" questioned Mirai, Hibari and Minori.
"I cannot explain that right now. the time is not yet right." she replied
Murasaki suddenly raised her hand.
"Yes, is something wrong?" she asked
"Umm, are you...the only female?" she asked
The others in the room sweat dropped while Kirika giggled at the randomness of the question.
"Honestly, I'm not sure. I know there's me, Daymond, Razen and two new members. The one that I have is named Jin and a guy of course but the other I have yet to meet or hear anything about the other one." she replied
"Boys...scary." said Murasaki
"Hahahaha, I think Raze would be really hurt to hear you calling him scary besides, I can't say much about Jin but Razen are in the category of the ten percent of guys that are good ones." said Kirika
Asuka and Katsuragi both seemed to go into some thought. Asuka's first impression of Razen when she first saw him was completely off. Although she didn't consider him a friend or ally, she couldn't seem to bring herself to think of him as an enemy, espically since he didn't appear to be trying to kill them. Katsuragi was thinking somewhat the same thing, with a little extra on the side. During her little scuffle with him, she took notice that a lot of his actions were intended not to cause server harm to the her and the others. He also appeared to be helping her out, otherwise he would have just let Yumi's attack strike her. Not to mention in her eyes, he was strong, pretty good looking and had a good sense of human decency, making him a large tease target.
'Come to think of it, they both seem like good targets.' thought Katsuragi
'She has that look on her face.' thought Asuka
'Hmm, looks like I've found my partner in crime.' thought Kirika
"You still haven't answered my first question." said an impatient Fuuma
"Fuuma-chan, please calm down." said Asuka as she tried to calm her friends anger.
"No Asuka, not till I make the guy who hurt you like that pay." protested Fuuma
Kirika merely shook her head before she sensed something odd approaching her from behind. Reacting quickly, Kirika took a sidestep to her left and her attacker passed by her but they slammed their feet into the floor and propelled themselves back at her causing her to bring up some kind of barrier and block the attack. Seeing their attack fail, the attacker jumped away from Kirika quickly.
"Where did that barrier come from?" questioned Ikaruga
Kirika released the barrier and saw that it was Muramasa who had attacked her.
"The android! Interesting." she thought
-Razen-
"Ahh...I see." spoke Ushimaru
Raze had to basically explain to Ushimaru that not all guys in the world were perv's and that everyone has different reactions on the topic of female assets, although it was only natural for a male to get somewhat aroused from seeing a females part nude body.
"Glad to hear it." said Razen as he breathed a sigh of relief.
"What about mine?" she asked
"Huh?"
"Are you aroused by mine?" she asked as she jiggled her breast slightly.
Razen turned scarlet red as he felt something rising in his lower region.
'Why couldn't I have just taken away my emotions completely? would have made life so much easier.' he thought
"Ecchi." said Ushimaru
"As if any guy my age wouldn't get aroused from something like that. You did that on purpose didn't you?" protested Raze
"Yes...I wanted to see if you were a pervert." she replied
Razen pinched the bridge of his nose.
Ushimaru looked away for a moment before nodding. She turned back towards Razen and looked him in the eyes as she drew closer. Razen had no idea what was going on.
"Umm what are you doing? Is there someth...nmgh!"
The signals that went through his brain began to fry it. It happened so suddenly that he couldn't tell what was what. Ushimaru was kissing him. He was too stunned to even try to pull away as his eyes went almost completely white. As she parted from his lips, Raze fell back onto the bench, body trembling like he had terits.
"Umm, are you...!"
She stopped as she saw that his body was beginning to emit white smoke and he body was starting to heat up. Seeing this, she grabbed him by the shirt collar and with amazing strength, threw him right into the river.
"Ghak, 'cough, cough', wheeze."
Razen pulled himself out of the water and stood up straight as the water dripped off of him.
"I'm sorry." she said
"It's nothing, is what I would say but what was that about?" questioned the OverSeer.
"I threw you in the water bec..."
"No, no not that, the other thing." said Raze
"Oh, my sensei said that if I meet a good boy then I should kiss them." she replied
Raze just merely stared at her with a blank expression.
"Um, should I...have done a french kiss instead?" she questioned
The thought of her tongue in his mouth caused Raze to turn scarlet again.
"No no no. Listen, you can't just go around kissing every boy you think is good." said Raze
"...How about girls then?" she questioned
Razen's left eye twitched hard as he closed his eyes.
'For Sanctum's sake, why is it always the cute ones that are so naive?' he thought
-Daymond-
"Rearrange this, put this here annnnnddd...done."
Daymond Sanctum had become famous for doing some pretty outrageous things since becoming an OverSeer and yes, what he has just finished doing could be counted as one of them. Using his powers, Daymond created an area in a small pocket dimension that only those who were approved by him could even hope to enter. It basically was like an improved version of the Japanese palace but it couldn't be seen or felt by humans unless Daymond willed them to. There was even an outdoor hot-spring that stretched along both sides of the palace from the back.
"Nice set-up, if I do say so myself." said Daymond
Daymond smiled at his work before suddenly sensing someone enter the area. He turned around and saw a rather beautiful young woman about around his age and a similar aura to his own, which could only mean one thing.
"I take it you are the new OverSeer?" asked Daymond
"Hai, I am Yulan Vanhart, the OverSeer of the Spatial Sanctum." she replied
'Space! so Lady Infinity gave her that one eh.' thought Daymond
"Are you the present leader?" she asked
"Yes, I am Daymond Sanctum, the OverSeer of the Platinum Sanctum and the alpha/orignal OverSeer." he replied
Yulan's expression stayed serious as she drew her sword and pointed it at Daymond. The moment he felt the blades aura, he knew exactly what it was. It looked different but there was no doubt about it. It was the dragon slaying sword, Ascalon.
"It seems you know of this blade." stated Yulan
Daymond merely nodded in response.
"I assume that you wish to challenge me." he said
"Yes, I refuse to follow anyone who is weaker then myself." she replied
Daymond smiled at this. He liked this girls style. He decided now was a good time to try out his newest weapons. Daymond put both his arms out and two strange swords that had what looked like two large keys crossed and a blade coming out the top materialized in both his hands.
"Huh, what kind of blades are those?" questioned Yulan
"X type keyblade Omega. These swords, in the wrong hands could put an end to any world." he said
Yulan flinched slightly at this. She felt no lies behind the words that he spoke and she could feel the the energy that the sword's radiated.
"'Hmph' very well. Let us begin." she said as she got into a battle stance.
"Whenever your ready." said Daymond as he took his stance.
-Kirika-
"Well I'm glade that we resolved that before it got violent." said Kirika
After Hibari stepped in and stopped Muramasa, the android quickly concluded that Kirika was not there to cause any harm to anyone and lowered her weapons, but Fuuma would have none of it from the black haired assassin.
"HEY!" she shouted, gaining Kirika's attention.
"WHERE. IS. RAZEN PHALANX?" she demanded
"Looks like someone needs to work on controlling emotions here. I don't know where Raze is at the moment." she answered
Fuuma was about to speak but Yozakura beat her to it.
"Then next time you see him, tell him I want to fight him and take him down." said Yozakura
"Hey back off, I'll take care of that guy myself, he's mine." demanded Fuuma
"You stay out of this." demanded Yozakura as the two got in each others face's.
"Yozakura, that's enough." demanded Yumi
"Fuuma that's enough, calm down." ordered Ikaruga
Upon hearing their respective seniors orders both the younger shinobi backed away from each other.
'Wow, those two really are acting like children. I guess they really do want a shot at taking down Razen.' thought Kirika
"Why don't you both fight him together?" suggested Kirika, earning looks from nearly everyone in the room.
"Don't forget, just him and Daymond alone beat both of your respective factions in battle. So why not team up and improve your odds?" she suggested
Once they thought about it they realized she had a good point. Those two were able to best two elite squadrons and she alone got the better of the Hebijo and Crimson squad. Yozakura thought for a moment before walking up to Fuuma with a serious look on her face and after a few moments of tension, she held out her right hand. Fuuma looked at it for a moment then back at Yozakura. As she tried to take her hand, Yozakura spoke.
"Don't shake, unless you are absolutely serious about this."
Upon saying that, her gaze grew more intense. Fuuma gave her a serious smile and firmly grasped her hand which Yozakura returned with the same smile.
'Well this should make an interesting team.' thought Kirika
"Hold it, since were on the subject of settling scores, you and I have a big one to settle." said Miyabi as she pointed at Kirika.
"So do I." said Homura
The two looked at each other and merely nodded. They seemed to be on the same page and didn't say a word.
'Hmm, looks like I'll be able to see exactly what these two are capable of next time.' thought Kirika
"Fuuma-chan, I'm going with you." declared Asuka
"So am I, can't let my junior's face someone like that guy without some added firepower." said Katsuragi as she kicked air.
"Hey, if Katsu is going then so am I." said Ayame
After they had said their piece, Yumi stepped forward.
"Your leader Daymond. I wish to challenge him again at the end of this month." she stated
The rest of the Gessen gasped in surprise but before they could respond, another shinobi spoke.
"As do I, a month should give me some time to train." said Yagyu as she stepped forward.
"Yagyu-chan." called a concerned Hibari.
"I have to do this, it is the only way to achieve my goal of becoming the strongest so I would have to go through him sooner or later regardless." said Yagyu
"But Yagyu, he's their leader, which means he could be the strongest." said Hibari
"I know." she replied
Kirika let out a laugh at this, catching the attention of everyone while the adults simply stood off to the side.
"That is very bold of both of you. Very well, I am certain that he will accept and as for you two." said Kirika as she turned her attention towards Miyabi and Homura.
"We shall have or battle on the same day as Yagyu and Yumi's, shall we?" questioned Kirika
"That's fine by me." said Homura
"That is good for me as well." said Miyabi
"Good, anything else?" asked Kirika
Rin opened her eyes and walked forward just as Ikaruga asked the biggest question of the day.
"What is your groups purpose here?"
The room once again went silent. Kirika turned her head to the right as she stood up and looked at the ceiling.
"We are here to stop the resurrection of something dangerous. If not stop it, then destroy it." she replied
All the young ones had confused looks but the adults all had serious expressions as if they knew what she was talking about. Rin then walked in front of Kirika, getting the OverSeer's attention.
"Hmm?" said Kirika
"Suzune-sensei?" called Haruka
Before anymore words could be exchanged, Rin drew her large shurikens and stared down Kirika, who smiled as she drew Seriyu's sword.
"I wish to see you for myself." said Rin
"It would be my pleasure." said Kirika
"Go!" they both said as they entered super speed.
-Daymond-
"(Slight heavy breathing) Damn, I haven't had a fight like that in a while." said Daymond
Daymond had multiple scratches, cuts and bruises that were healing as he was taking a knee as he watched Yulan, who was on all fours, panting, sword to the side on the ground, sweat dripping and appeared to be quite a bit worse then Daymond.
"You...are indeed...very strong...sir Daymond." she replied between breaths.
"So are you...hard to believe...your new to this." he replied
"Very well...you have shown...you are worthy...thus...I shall follow you." she said as she smiled at him.
"Glade to hear it." said Daymond as he smiled back.
-Unknown-
There was nothing but darkness aside from a bright azure fire that burned seemingly all over. (Cue music -Daughter of the flame-) Standing amidst the azure flames was a female figure. She looked to be around 5'3, 5'4, somewhere in her teenage years, long flowing hair that was silver in front but red in the back, She had the one red eye and an azure blue eye. She was wearing a long blue coat with black lining that went slightly past her hips and a black button up shirt that looked like it was going to pop open thanks to her large chest. Black knee high boots and black stockings and she also had on blue lipstick. The azure fire that was around her was also on her body, rather it seemed as if she was generating it.
"Soo boring, where are you...my prey?" she said to no one in particular as the flames grew brighter.
"Where are you...my Kirika?" she asked
-To be continued-

Until then, daymond Sanctum, OverSeer of the Platinum Sanctum, signing out.
