SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 22 out, this is Chapter 23 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review other than just simply putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot and pairing.

Chapter 23: True Cross Academy Festival – Tonight

"Yes, Shura?" Yukio spoke into his communicator when Shura beeped him.

"Find Kamiki Izumo." Shura instructed the Esquires.

"What happened to Izumo?" Shima exclaimed.

"She promised to help out at the store tonight, but she didn't come." Rin frowned.

"Did something happen to her?" Shima pressed.

"No idea." Shura replied. "We'll explain the details later. But now, I need you guys to find her as quickly as possible. I can't contact her either. Find Takama Nemu as well."

"Wouldn't just the students be insufficient?" Yukio wondered. "Should we contact the teachers, Pheles as well?"

"We can't!" Shura snapped. "Consider this the same as a top secret task direct from the Vatican HQ. Don't let Mephisto know about this. All of you search along for maximum efficiency. Make sure you can keep in touch while you search. If something happens, don't stuff up and contact me straight away. That's all. Scrum!"

"What on earth happened to Izumo?" Shima went into panic mode.

"First, we should allocate areas for each of us to search." Suguro suggested.

"I can't just stay calm like that!" Shima took off. "It's too late if something's happened to her."

"Shima, control yourself!" Suguro retorted.

"I'll go and ask Paku." Shiemi volunteered.

"Then, I'll search the Exorcism classes and the school." Yukio voiced.

"I'll search from the North Gate and towards the right." Suguro added.

"Then I'll search the Priests' residence." Miwa offered.

"I'll go back to the store first, then search around the arcade." Rin noted.

"Shura, there was a shockwave just now." Yukio informed, after the energy pulse from the Shima vs Takama fight was felt. "It was from the Outlook Square of the Upper Layer."

"I'll report it right now." Shura nodded. "Everyone, gather at the Outlook Square of the train station." she relayed. "However, don't make a move until I arrive."

SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
