Ryuu Shosuke



It was shortly after she had shown Stevenson and Beatrice the bucket challenge that Julius entered the room. The red head watched him with keen eyes when he too sat down and began to work on the water. At the same time something by the door caught her attention. Looking up, she saw that an older student stood by the closed door watching the Tamers work. Frowning a bit, Ryuu crossed the room, not without glancing at her students to check their progress, and opened the door to step outside. Yes? May I help you?” Although the young woman was shorter than Ryuu, they were of the same age which seemed to bother the woman as she stood up taller in a vain attempt at matching her height with Ryuu’s. “There’s a note for you the main building.”[/color] she stated.

Ryuu’s frown deepened, “Well why didn’t they just send it this way?” The shorter woman simply sighed. With a roll of her eyes, she answered Ryuu’s question. [b] They didn’t trust me to give the note to you in person, besides it was kinda hard convincing the desk lady that I should be the one to come here.
Ryuu’s mouth sounded out a silent Oh upon understanding the woman’s reasoning. “I see, well then I guess get going then.” Stepping back into the room, Ryuu took a few steps in to inform the Tamers of her temporary departure. “Once you finish the bucket challenge, you may head home after writing a small reflection on what occurred and what you could have done differently.” With that having been said, Ryuu went back to the hallway half expecting the woman to still be there, which she wasn’t.

A few minutes later


Ryuu made sure to stop by the ladies rooms to check up on her appearance. It was odd to the rest of the staff that such a young person was able to land a teaching position. Then again they weren’t aware of what really went on in Cram School. The red head quickly braided her hair, leaving to hang over her shoulder as she walked the rest of the way to the main office. There she met the desk lady, who, as the girl had said, was a bit stubborn, not willing to give the note to Ryuu who simply looked like another one of their many students, albeit a bit older.

After finally convincing the old woman to hand her the note, Ryuu quickly left the office in case the desk lady changed her mind. Ryuu began to walk back to Cram School as she opened up the note. Surprisingly it was sealed by wax with the emblems of the True Cross Academy Exorcist. Seeing this made Ryuu frown for she knew this wasn’t just some normal letter. She tore the seal off, with some care so as not to ruin the note itself, and took out its contents, letting the envelope drift to the ground. Ryuu unfolded the note and read quickly but carefully and then read it a second time. “That’s impossible.” came the soft whisper of disbelief.

Then again when she thought back to Friday, Ryuu shouldn’t be surprised considering the extent of Nathaniel’s wounds. The young woman rubbed her eyes and read the note a third time, still in shock of the news. From what she understood, the higher ups wanted her to go to the morgue to verify that it was indeed Nathaniel that they had in their care. Sighing Ryuu folded the note back up, picked up the envelope and placed the note back inside where she then slide it into her back pocket of her pants.


Ryuu nibbled on her thumb for a brief moment, contemplating on how to go about this. Should she head back to class and dismiss them or do as the note said and head to the morgue immediately upon reading the note. Finally choosing the latter of her options, Ryuu wasn’t sure if she should trust her students to handle themselves but Stevenson was there so there was still some hope. It wasn’t long until Ryuu was off school grounds and searching for a vehicle that would be willing to take her to her location.


She thanked the driver of a yellow cab as she slid into the back seat of the cab. “Where to missy?” Glancing up at the dark grey orbs in the rearview mirror, Ryuu rubbed the bridge of her nose before answering, “Fidel Hospital please.” The cab driver’s eyes widened with concern but he complied with her request and the cab was soon drifting down the many streets that would take them to the hospital. They finally arrived at the main entrance to the hospital and Ryuu paid the driver but then paused, [coor=red] “May I inquire about the time sir?”[/color] Nodding the cab driver looked at a watch he had taken out of his pocket and read it in the dim lighting, It’s close to five Miss,” Thanking the driver for giving her the time, Ryuu stepped away from the cab and watched it drive off, only to be replaced by another car. With a heavy sigh Ryuu turned to the hospital and entered.


The red head walked to the front desk, asking about the whereabouts of Nathaniel Jenova. The woman looked through her list of patients and merely reiterated what the note had already told her, Nathaniel had died Friday at exactly 4:31 in the afternoon. “Is there by any chance I may be able to see him, just to make sure it really is him.” The woman then gave Ryuu an odd look and folded her arms, “And what is your relationship with Mr. Jenova?” Biting her lip, Ryuu knew they’d ask her this question but she had hoped they wouldn’t. Swallowing her pride, Ryuu cleared her throat, “I’m his girlfriend.” she spoke with as much confidence as she could muster and it seemed to have convinced the woman enough for she let Ryuu go.


She sent Ryuu towards a different office that oversaw the morgue’s actions. As she walked in that direction, her ears and cheeks were hot with embarrassment. If it turned out that Nathaniel wasn’t dead, she’d beat him for the humiliation she had just experienced. Upon reaching the morgues office, Ryuu saw that there was no one there. Frowning, a shiver ran down her spine causing her hair to stand on end. [coor=red] “Hello?”[/color] It was far too quite for everything to be alright and this soon became fact when she reached the morgue’s doors, or what was left of them. From the looks of it they had been kicked in by something incredibly strong and her first thought was a demon.


Without a second thought, Ryuu bit her thumb and hastily drew a symbol on the ground. “Come forth oh Demon Blade. Slash the evil before you with the darkest of blades” she said quietly so as not to alert anything that may still be inside the morgue. Most likely it was already aware of her presence the moment she summoned Chomesku, but now she held her beloved blade in her hands, ready to strike down anything that moved. However the moment she stepped into the room, Ryuu stopped and lowered her sword but did not release the seal. Before her were four corpses, all drained of color with dark veins covering their bodies. There was no color to be found on their persons; even the color in their open eyes was gone. Pointing the tip of Chomesku at who she assumed was the Coronoer, Ryuu pressed the hot blade against his cold skin. It burned, but not because he was a demon but simply because he was human and the blade was ferociously hot.

“Okay so they aren’t Demons, but what did this to them?” voicing her curiosity aloud. Looking around the room she saw that there were small orbs scattered around the room and she reached down to pick one up when Chomesku suddenly throbbed in her hand. Surprised by the action, Ryuu hesitated in touching the orb and eventually stepped away from it completely. “What the hell could have done this?” Suddenly her thoughts went to Nathaniel when he opened that rift that took them straight to the bus. No that’s impossible he’s dead.” A grim look settled on her face as she checked all of the cabinets that held the dead bodies.


Ryuu was both thankful and disturbed that Nathaniel was not there. The Knight growled at the situation placed before her and quickly turned on her heel and left the morgue. Halfway back to where people would be, Ryuu remember she still had Chomesku out and let her blade go back to storage until she was needed later. Ryuu strode through the halls, completely ignoring those she passed. Since she was human, it’d be incredibly hard for her to find Nathaniel, however her sixth sense was a better than most due to her rather inhumane traits.


It had begun to rain while she had been inside, which surprised her considering the news had never said anything about rain. Things are simply getting out of hand. What next falling angels? Ryuu chuckled to herself at the notion of falling angels. It was impossible in her mind but of course Ryuu was only partially human. She got serious a moment later as she focused her sixth sense. In doing so a headache came about as it always did when she tried this. Ryuu closed her eyes and an image flashed through her mind. A trail of blue light disappeared into the dark. Opening her eyes again, Ryuu could just faintly see the trail before her. With a determined fire in her eyes, the Knight followed it in hopes it would take her to her quarry.
