"It's kind of a long story…" Nerosie had trailed off.
"I have time" Masamune stood peeking through the curtains for any sign of the strange guys they had encountered.
"Okay then, it all started earlier when I walking home from the library a few blocks away. I'm not sure what I felt, but I felt like sudden burst of negative energy. I followed it and, well, it was coming from here in your apartment." Nerosies sight shifted to the wooden floor. "It was strange though, when I managed to get up here those guys and a few others were rummaging around in here." She noticed the small apartment had been cleaned up. "They saw me and chased me into that alley." Masamune had closed the curtains by now and was listening to her in content. "They kept going on about Rea, I don't know who that is, but I have a feeling she was the one giving off that negative energy."
Masamune stood silent for a moment in thought. What if I really did summon Rea and now She's free because I was impatient and didn't send her back before leaving. "I tried summoning the spirit of Rea earlier, but I, I thought I had failed so I left without dismissing her spirit like you're supposed to."
"I heard of Reas legend, the story is very vague, but most believe she destroyed the early settlement of this city, devouring all in her way."
"The story I heard was that she killed the people, rather than eating them."
"I've heard many versions also, but they all ended with her destroying the settlement." Nerosie said "no one ever knew why she held held such hatred for this place."
"I wish I knew" realization dawned over him, "do you think she'll do the same thing now?"
Nerosie went silent.
Rea stood un-amused looking down at the two boys below her. They were all standing in an abandoned factory near the the edge of town, she was up on the rafters of the building. It was dark so her red eyes were left glow, eliminating her face in an eerie way. "Nonsense" she growled. The demon boy Kyoya stood looking anxious to leave. The dragon hybrid Ryuga on the other hand looked as calm as ever. "Where's my food?"
"Kyoya said you could hunt for yourself" Ryuga replied. Rea's glare turned to the demon.
"N-no Ryuga heard me wrong! Besides it's his fault, he's the one who didn't sense that she was an angel until the end!"
Rea growled. "She was nothing more that a pathetic earthbound angel, she's lived her life in earth and has never found her way to heaven's gates. She's weak. You saw that flame attack, how on earth were you thrown back by it?" Rea asked, her tone was impatient and slightly smug about the girl's weakness.
"I…" Kyoya was at a lost for words.
"Maybe you're not as strong as everyone says, even Mizuchi could've done better." She teased.
"What would that pathetic snake boy could of done?" this time Ryuga spoke up. "He's nothing but a fabricated male Medusa minus the snakes for hair." His tone made his hate for the boy clear.
"Well, Reiji would've turned her and the human to stone with one glare, brought them to me and I could've had a nice tasted of angel blood" Rea was just toying with Kyoya at this point, liking how angry he got. "Whatever" she changed the conversation "Go watch the gates and give the twins a deserved break." She ordered them and they obeyed.
By gates Rea ment the gates that she had opened to let other supernatural beings through. Dan and his brother had been guarding the gates through the day now, only letting certain creatures past. The twin brothers Dan and Reiki where young werewolves, just beginning to hunt and develop a taste for human and other creatures. There brown ears were small and still tricked them at sometimes, there claws weren't fully grown in and their tails were small and not as silky and their fangs were still growing in and they weren't sharp at all compared to the other wolf creatures lurking around. The point was that they were hardly a threat to a Imp or even a fairy.
"Its our turn to guard puppies, so go take a nap and chase your tail or something" Kyoya rudely told them. They growled, but left anyway.
"You know" Ryuga spoke up "one day they'll grow up and tear you to pieces."
Kyoya smirked "as if." He sat down on a wooden box and spotted a new creature pass through, a woman in a tattered cloak. A banshee had passed through. The boys watched carefully, banshees only came around to warn of death or wail when someone did die. They waited for her to wail her song, but she merely spared them a glance and walked out to the city.
"Strange, those things never pass through" Ryuga observed.
"Maybe she's come to warn someone of death or something" Kyoya brushed it off as nothing and looked to the other beings passing through, a siren, a ghoul and some ghosts, nothing too interesting.
Meanwhile on the other side of town Masamune and Nerosie had continued to talk about what could be happening with Rea. "Hey Masamune, one more thing."
"What is it?"
"Not only did I sense Rea, but I also sensed another powerful being, equally, if not stronger, than Rea…"
"Of course you did…" Masamune groaned, he had a Rea situation to solve, but now a new threat? Come one, this was too much.
"I'm not sure-" Nerosie sentence was cut short when she covered her ears, her face twisting in pain. Masamune followed, shouted over the sound.
"What is that!?"
"I don't know!" Masamune could barely hear her response. The sound was like screaming, a high pitched wail of sadness that made their ears ache.
Kyoya and Ryuga had even heard it all the way across town, a siren stretch indicating someone's death...but who? They wondered.
