Hibiki begrudgingly followed Kiego out of the Death room.
Well the report went about as well as I could have hoped and Lord Death seems to be happy with our progress so we're not in trouble there... still I feel like Lord Death was hiding something... It bothers me that he won't tell us what's going on I know he knows more than he's told us.' By the time Hibiki started paying attention again Kiego had stumbled into another meister/weapon pair who'd apparently stumbled upon a witch during their mission. He began to pay closer attention.
"No, we were attacked by a naked-looking witch.. of whom you males would have probably preferred... hm? We would have won too if not for this idiot." Hibiki kept quiet not really caring about the comments the girl had only wanting to learn about their fight with the witches.
'Not the kindest of speakers... Though she is very direct in her thinking and doesn't beat around the bush. I rather respect that.' Kiego of course went ahead and opened his mouth falling for her bait as he attempted to defend himself.
"Okay first I'm not that kind of guy who's into erotic stuff. Which means there was more than one witch. And give the guy some slack Missy-" Not to disappoint the girl had quite the rebuttal.
"Besides, it's rude to talk to someone without first giving your name. If you don't tell me now and introduce yourself properly you will be known to me as Kinky until further notice." At this Hibiki had to exert quite a bit of self control to stop himself from laughing at his meister's expense.
He was so distracted that he didn't hear Kiego's response to the girl but was brought back to reality as he watched the girl's finger fall this time onto him.
'This will be interesting. I wonder what she has to say about my performance.'"And you.. you're so quiet I almost thought you weren't even here but you're sort of cute like that so..." A slight blush appeared on Hibiki's cheeks, but still he said nothing preferring to let Kiego take care of the talking.
'Cute? No one's ever called me cute before. Granted no one's ever noticed me before... What does it mean that I'm cute? Should I tell her that she's cute or would that be stupid. GAH people are hard enough when they ignore me now I've been complimented I can't even think of anything to say and there's no way I could actually talk to her she's way to pretty to talk to someone like me.' Hibiki was lost in his own world with a new question that he'd never thought about before. He went on thinking in his head. He fell back into reality as he heard his name mentioned by Kiego who was shaking the girl's hand.
'Damn it I was so engrossed in my thought I didn't catch her name. I'll just ask Kiego when we get home.'Before long their discussion concluded and Kiego was off to the nurse. Once they were alone Hibiki spoke up. "Hey Kiego... I'm going to go train for a while. I've got some stuff to think about and it'll help clear my head. I'll catch up with you back at the house." Hibiki turned and left after his brief goodbye to Kiego and headed into the forest clearing where he had his solo training set up.
'No matter how well Kiego and I are working together I still need to be able to fight on my own...' Hibiki started his normal training routine working his strikes and blocks before taking to the trees jumping from branch to branch like he always had. He came to one of the easiest jumps and allowed himself to relax for a minute. Then he saw her. The girl from earlier just flashed into his mind. His foot slipped on the branch and he fell 10 feet to the ground landing flat on his back knocking the wind out of himself. "FUU---" He laid there on the ground trying to regain his breath and think.
'Why? How? What did she do that she can not only pop into my head but distract me so much that I couldn't even finish one of the easiest battle patterns I do. What is going on?!'As Silver stepped through his portal he was brought before 'Him' the kishin.
'No matter how many time I see him I'm never going to get used to this aura surrounding him. It's so infuriating! It makes everything else seem boring.' Shortly after his arrival Furor addressed him.
"Ah Silver, so good to see you. How did it go? Oh, PLEASE tell me they were terrified. Angry perhaps? Oh I would just LOVE it if they were mad, angry that you attacked them, mad that they couldn't beat you. It would be perfect." Silver bowed slightly before speaking. He knew better than upsetting the Kishen. "Kishen Furor, My mission was a complete success. I found and engaged the team of Hibiki Fuuma and Kiego Forstein. They haven't been paired very long their combat skills are to sloppy for them to have been paired long. The weapon is a shuriken that can collapse into a sword like weapon. They attacked me shortly after I'd arrived. They were sloppy and completely at my mercy for the duration of the fight. They entered their resonance form and the weapon became a pair of hand claws and granted the ability to shift through shadows. They made to flee but I chased them down to get an example of their combat skill in their resonance form. They were capable of more powerful strikes, but they were still unable to gain ground until they maxed their resonance and charged me knocking me off balance momentarily. I'd decided I'd learned enough and let them flee after inflicting only minor wounds to the meister." Just as he finished his story Chamile appeared through a portal and greeted the pair.
