Rika continued her tickling assault on what she considers to be the club's mascot. When the wolf girl transform she continued to tickle whatever spot was reachable. Cause of her background of being around danger men who work under her father she was least prone to fear scary looking people, which was quickly translated into to a lack of fear of supernatural entities when she joined the group. From the very begin Rika showed her no fear based on her demonic form, only respect knowing that she was a new member of Faye's team.

"So this girl as a dragon inside her right, how much would that befit us? Would she be able to breath fire, transformed into a giant dragon, would she be about to release a blast of sound by shouting three foreign words or better yet slow down time?" She asked Faye, of course Rika got those last two ideas from playing a sustain western Rpg game. Mur Mur soon ended up pining her down by her hands and torso. She then frown lightly before struggles to free herself by shaking her body around, but being a knight trying to struggle free against grip of a rook had place her at a strength disadvantage. "Well this is under fair..." Rika told her sounding disappointed that her fun was over.

Ah A loyal doggy, Devil girl you got some good peers with you" Eclip replied to Orin, not really caring about what Orin said.

(Ooc: removed the rest due to mixing up 2 chars so it was faulty in various places)

"Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, craaaaap!"

Itsuki thought to himself as he hopped the fence of the school. It was bad enough that he was late for the club meeting already, but even worse was that there were like, 15 cats stuck in trees today. How many cats could POSSIBLY be dumb enough to get caught in that many trees? 15, apparently, as Itsuki had learned due to his face being covered in scratch marks and welts that stung like nothing else. The kids were grateful, sure, but that didn't do much to stop the minor scratches from stinging like nothing else.

Racing to the drama building, Itsuki was kicking up dust as he ran his heart out, hurriedly opening the door and stepping inside. Slightly out of breath from running all the way here, Itsuki saluted as if he was standing at attention in the military and said: "SORRY I'M LATE FAYE-SAN! EVERY CAT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS CONSPIRING AGAINST ME!" he shouts, nervous not only that he was late, but that he'd failed to complete a contract just the other day. Looking around the room, he noticed two distinctly new faces, one of which was pale and VERY tall. Seemed european, and...woah. Uh...His face got a little bit red when he saw Stella's...assets. Ridiculous as they were, he couldn't bring himself to look for more than a split-second. "Are they new to the club?"

Faye got up from her desk just as Itsuki was getting into the room, but not without regarding Stella first "If you want so, I'll be more than glad to welcome you into our family, dragon gear user. Though I think the only piece I have that can be used at someone like you is a rook, do you agree with that?"

After the dragon replied, Faye addressed everyone again. "Well, I think this ends our meeting for today. We should get going to our classes before it gets late. We will meet again after school at the old amusement park on the Tonboyama road. Be prepared to a special surprise by then."

Faye waved to them as she was about to leave the club room "Don't be late, because there'll be snacks for the first ones to arrive. Also, Mar-chan, I'll have something special and tasty just for you. See you guys later!"

After Faye had left the room, Marith finally stood up and got off of Rika. She quickly padded over to the door and shifted back to her human form but concealed her ears. She already had an accident with the class smoozer pulling them thinking they were fake, needless to say it led to an interesting class and a broken nose. The wolf girl waved to the rest of the club members before she walked out the door and started down the hallway towards her home room in which she sat in the back, close to the exit. In the when she reached the room and opened the doors a few eyes turned towards her, most of them from the other female classmates who liked to attempt to start conversations with her just to try and get her to talk. The way she walked into the room the others could tell she was in a good mood though she still didn't say anything but did nod towards the boy who waved to her. When the class started Marith realized she didn't have her bag with her, meaning no snacks. Marith laid her head down on her desk and attempted to go to sleep though was constantly being woken up by others.

The way the class was doing nothing except some studying was enough to put her to sleep for a good thirty minutes before she was woken up by the teacher slamming a thick textbook on marith's desk. "Miss can you please tell me what the last chapter we just read was about?" Mrs. Herigata asked to which Marith replied with a shrug of her shoulders and a tired yawn. The teacher just sighed and walked back to her desk with out another word and began to teach once more making occasional sideways glances at Marith to make sure she was awake, this continued until break time.

After everyone had left the club room, Stella was standing there still alone.
Well not really alone as Eclip soon began to talk to her telepathically once more.
You know, you never introduced yourself to them
"so?" Stella asked softly, she did not felt like talking back by thinking but she also did not wanted people to hear her talking so a soft whisper would be fine she figured.
Why are you so against becoming a Devil?
"not even giving a reply to my 'so' huh, But yeah I dont know, it just sounds.. I dont know odd"
Well, what is so odd, you already changed from a human to a dragon, why not become a devil dragon hybrid with a human base
"That is the odd part, how many more races can I become, besides what point would there be"
For one, you can go to the underworld, enough exciting stuff down there, you can join the rating games, battle against other devils, once you grow you can get your own peers, be kinda like a king
"A king huh... neh not my style, but peers...."
yeah a family for once, just joining these guys would provide this
"Still, I want to meet this Silver Ryu first, but no new rumors to follow in a month"
Say, That kid, he said he could look for Ryu with something called the Passion, why not get him to follow up on that
Stella grinned as Eclip came with that Idea "Good one"

-------------------------
Several Minutes later

The door of Ethan his class was suddenly opened as Stella entered the class room.
To this sudden entrance the class pretty much froze and the teacher coughed "Miss, unless you say what you came for, please leave this room right now" though for as far as Stella could listen it was kinda gibberish.
"Shut it" Stella said to the teacher, causing the class to start talking between each other.

"What language was that?"
"Is she a foreigner?"
"Must be look at those odd clothes"
"can she even understand us?"

Though soon the boys began to divert from the language.
"Dude, she must be foreigner, no Japanese(?) woman can have those tits"
"No man, there is, Hitomi Tanaka, an AV model"
"Man I want to suck those big girls"
"Oh god I want that Bra or whatever that top is, break right now"
Followed by the girls screaming they are all perverts causing a chaos to be ensured.

Stella pretty much ignored it all as she found what she was looking for.
Admits the chaos she walked up to Ethan and grabbed him by the back of his Collar and dragged him outside.
The teacher was unable to act due to the chaos of the rest of the class and just yelled at them to which Stella just flipped him off, not like she could understand him anyway.

Once in the hall she closed the door.
She moved to Ethan and looked him right in his eyes.
"Listen, you said you could use some kind of Passion to find the Silver Ryu right, So I am taking you with me to look for him, in return I will join your little group and let you have one request or something to ask of me, Just NO S*XUEL STUFF, or something like those serve me for this time stuff, Deal" As she said Deal she moved closer to him with her face, bending her body in an attempt to prevent her breasts from touching and pressing against him as she moved so close, though in the end she still brushed with them against his chest.
Unconsciously she blushed at the sensation before moving backwards.

Once he would have agreed she would begin bringing him to the roof.
"Kid, just so you know, this Dragon we are looking for is not a real dragon, he seems to be some kind of local super hero, a human I guess, he just calls himself Silver Ryu." Eclip spoke to Ethan.
"The Drug lords of 2 towns over are pissed off as this Guy keeps beating his dealers up, but the rumors in the underworld mentioned that this guy has taken down more then just some drugs dealers, some local bank robbers and such have been taken down by him as well, I got wind of him by listening in on a talk between dealers, they were pretty specific if you ask me"
"A black clad man with silver limbs, impervious of bullets and knifes, on his shoulders are blue robes or bands, around his head is a band as well, his face is hidden by a mask with a fang like decoration and his eyes are like those of a dragon"
"Sounds like a wannabe Mortal Kombat Ninja if you ask me"
"We were able to follow the rumors up till here but due to a language barrier we have been unable to hear anymore for the past month"
"Damned guy did a too good of job, if those damned dealers were good for anything, its info as I they can speak english somewhat, Eclip just has to translate it for me"
She was quiet for a second as she opened the door to the rooftop.
"Rumors about this guy keeps popping up how he acts at night normally"
"But from we have figured, he has not been active for 2 months at night, nor did we find any criminals, so we began hunting the day, figuring that if the nights are save, then the crimes must moved to the day and so would Silver Ryu"

Stella then turned to Ethan, with the sun in her back.
"So, once more Deal?"

It was odd, but no one had so much as acknowledged his offer. Taking it to mean no, Ethan just shrugged as he made his way out of the club room and headed to his homeroom for class. Once he reached his desk, he soon noticed a couple of birds on a tree outside the window, and his attention was drawn to them. While the teacher did notice that he wasn't paying attention, she didn't really feel the need to bother with him. Seeing as how he somehow managed to maintain straight A's, he could do whatever he wanted in her class as long as it wasn't disruptive as far as she was concerned. However things changed really quickly a few minutes later. The dragon girl from before barged into the room, yelled at people, and dragged him out by his collar. Oh, and some of the other boys in the class were saying strange things about her, Ethan wasn't really paying too much attention to them.

Once they were alone, the dragon girl started talking. She said that she wanted to take him up on his offer to find that Silver Ryu guy, and that she would join Faye's peerage and own him a favor. That was so awesome! Not only could he make the dragon girl happy, but he could also make Faye happy. Two birds with one worm. Then some other strange voice started talking. Oh wait, Ethan had heard this voice before hadn't he? That's right, it was back in the club room too. Huh, how odd. Anyway, the strange voice started talking about this Silver Ryu guy, and how he was some kind of super hero. A lot of the stuff they were talking about wasn't that important to Ethan, he knew all he needed to; this man identified himself as Silver Ryu, and that's all his Gear needed to work. "Okay!" he chipped as he grabbed her hand and shook it. "So do you want to start now, or would you rather wait?"

Stella began to smile, an actual smile when he agreed to her request.
"Yeah the sooner the better" she said.

Once Ethan would start looking he would find Silver Ryu in costume hanging on a wall of a large building, the silver covering his legs and having spikes stabbed in the wall to keep him in place as he scanned the streets

Pulling out his iPod, Ethan touched it with The Passion. Suddenly, on the screen, a man in some weird silver outfit appeared "is that him?" Ethan asked as he tilted his head in confusion. Taking out his ear buds as well, he plugged them into the iPod before putting one in his ear. He then offered the other earbud to the dragon girl..wait, something doesn't seem right "Oh yeah...I don't think I caught your name. Right now, I'm just calling you dragon girl in my head...but that would be rude to call you in person. I'm Ethan by the way" he said with a warm smile.

As soon as Mur mur got off her the girl got up and dusted herself off. "Well that was fun...see you after school Mur Mur." she told her sounding delighted. She then grabed her bag and kendo stick before moving toward the door before stopping to turn back to the room. "Anyway could either of the bishops or Orin-san meet me in kendo clubroom next time we get a break, I could your help training in the use of magic." Rika asked them before leaving.

@Kitsune
@Vilhelm

Edit: If either Orin or Snitch were to come inside the room they would find the room in question to be a Washitsu room. In the middle of the room they would find Rika wearing tradition kendo practice clothes, sitting cross leg on the mat with her leg folded in front of her. If they were to get closer they would find a gently breeze of wind blowing in front of her as Rika practice her wind magic.

Itsuki felt a cold wind rush past him as absolutely nobody answered him. "...Yup. I'm being ignored." he said glumly, exiting the club room, trying to think of a way to make up for him messing up on the last contract. Well, at least from how he'd seen Faye regard the two, it seemed they definitely were new. Mulling over various thoughts about plans to put into: Operation: I'm Sorry, he made his way to his homeroom class, taking his seat that was disappointingly far away from the back left window of the classroom. Sighing once the break period was reached, Itsuki stretched back, using his chair to pop his back, before suddenly just about everyone crowded around Itsuki.

"Drink Run time." he thought to himself as requests flooded in from various male, and female students, which he quickly took note of on a lime green notepad. Once he'd gathered the change from everyone who wanted a drink, Itsuki bolted off, having pulled a plastic bag out from his school bag, and racing off to the vending machine at breakneck speeds, a green blur racing past several people in the hall, and several teachers yelling for him to not run in the halls. Regardless, he reached his destination, the time-worn vending machine that held the daily essentials for his classmates to make it through the day. Taking a deep breath, he quickly inserted 100 yen coins, quickly reaching over 2000 yen inserted, his other hand immediately hitting the buttons for the drinks once they were ready, the motion fluid and beautiful, the true work of a master vending machine gopher.

As the last drink emerged, Itsuki inserted his own 100 yen, quickly pushing the button for what appeared to be a sort of orange soda, quickly kneeing it and catching it in his hand. Bagging the drinks, he dashed back and delivered them. Such is a day in the life of a gopher. Once everyone had there's, hollow thanks were thrown to him all around. He knew they really weren't all that grateful, given that it was just cheap drinks brought to them faster than if they'd all done in a line, but hey, he had to get his good deeds for the day done somehow. Siting in his desk, he promptly opened his can with a slight hiss emanating from it, downing the whole thing in a single, huge string of gulps, the fizzy orange tickling his tongue. "STILL the best drink they got here..." he thought to himself, as he collected everyone's recycling and placed it in the appropriate container.

Orin looked so defeated when Faye chose not to follow up and instead simply ignore his rather kind and loyal comment, once again causing him to move down to his knees and give off a small whine... *Growl* It seemed that the small sandwich was far from enough to sate Orin's large appetite. "I am going to be late to class it seems" He commented to the others, hoping they would make up a lie for him like he was not feeling well or something, she shops were not that far away after all.

@demonspade64

"Of course, I shall see you then. It is my job to aid you after all."

First things first! Dashing out of the classroom Orin would break into a spring when he was outside the building, missing homeroom but thankfully making it for the remainder up until lunch where, thanks to his little trip, he had gotten more than enough food for two lunches. Entering into the Kendo club Orin spotted Rika focusing, it would be dangerous if it wasn't for her type of magic which is why it was allowed, others could not normal do such a thing unless a barrier was made first. "Rika~" Orin leaned closer to wave a hand in front of her face "I got lunch so before we start I wanna eat. That ok with you?" He tossed her the spare lunch before she even had time to respond "Good~"

Sitting down ont he floor beside her he started to open his lunch box open, but it was more of a ploy to get Rika to eat something than himself, people tended to push themselves too hard after all. "So, what is this about? The sudden announcement of the games got you doubting your power?" As he let her respond he started to gobble down some rice and chicken, tengu would still have to be his fav bird meat tho.

As Ethan showed her his Ipod screen she chuckled "Like I know, we only know the guys description, but it seems to fit, black clothes, blue bands on his shoulders and head, cant see his face from this angle, silver legs and sticking to a wall like Spiderman"
Stella just looked at the earbud, not knowing what he wanted with it, would it be part of his gear or would he have some kind of music, if it was part of a gear she feels she had to be careful, never know what he can do further.
Suddenly before she had grabbed the bud he began speaking of his little nickname for her and introducing himself while making a clear indirect way of asking her name.
Still she smiled, its been a good while since she last mentioned her name, her real one at that even and she also liked the nickname, dragon girl, it fitted and had a tough yet feminine ring to it.
"The name is Stella, but you can call me Dragongirl whenever you want, I like it, just dont do it when I am pissed, maybe I like it then or not and lash out" she said with a smile and a more friendly attitude then before.
She took the earbud and put it in her ear "So where is he, I can get to him before he moves if I leave quickly, though I dont know what you will do and what is with the earbud?"

"It's supposed to give audio too. This is a real-time view, so this is where he is right now. If you want me to give you a more precise location, then I'll need to go get my sand." Ethan took out his earbud and handed the iPod to Stella. As he retracted The Passion, the view and sounds from it ceased. Rushing back into his classroom, he went back to his seat and opened out his backpack. Taking out a tray of sand that was covered by a sheet of glass, he ran back to Stella. Taking out The Passion again, he had it touch the tray of sand, and it started to move. Within seconds, the sand had rearranged itself into a map of the city, with one spot marked with a rather large X. "There. That's where he should be" Ethan said while pointing to the X with another vine from The Passion. "If you hurry, you should be able to catch him." Despite having given her a map to his location, Ethan still felt like he was forgetting something "oh yeah...I almost forgot; you have a pretty face" there, that's better

Rika eyes snapped open when Orin suddenly start waving his hand in front of her face. "Oh good you here." She told him delightfully. Suddenly Orin had toss a box lunch at her which landed on her lap before she could grab it. "Whoa-thank you Senpai." She told him kindly before picking it up to look inside, she couldn't wait so taste the chicken inside. Before she was planning on skipping lunch and just getting a snack later that way she would have more time to practice however since Orin made went to the trouble of getting her something she decide it was only polite to accept whatever he give her, thus she started eating before him.

"So, what is this about? The sudden announcement of the games got you doubting your power?"

At first Rika didn't know how to answer thinking crewing her food give her a excuse to think about what he said. Having to go up against people who either probably been either born demons or been reincarnated longer then her made her wonder if the group could truly win. "Well that one way to put it." She admitted with a more neutral expression. "I could actually use your help in helping me develop a defensive technical that would help me defensive against a attack that i can't dodge." She told him.

If Faye had Rika participant in a fight this week their would be instance where Rika actually took a direct or indirect attack from one of the group enemies who while she was landing actually threw a a ball of compressed sticky sustains on the ground which ended up trapping her in place.

(OOC: I'm changing Faye's speech color to match her magic color, which I think makes more sense.)

Faye went out the club room and walked towards her own homeroom, which by the way, should be the same one as Orin's, trying to be as secretive about her evening plans as she could. She hadn't shared her preparation even with her own queen, since it was supposed to be a surprise to everyone. She had her head so focused on what was to happen that she unwillingly ignored some or her peers "I hope they like it, because I had to ask a few favors to do that..."

Once Faye arrived in her classroom, and saw that Orin wasn't there, she thought "Late again? You better be ready to some punishment when I find you, Orin, my dear!" No matter where he would be, Orin would feel the pressure of Faye's gaze falling upon him, as well as that usual feeling of incoming pain.

@Kitsune

Meanwhile, on Marith's classroom...

A boy came to Marith's desk just as the lunch bell rang, seeing that she was still asleep, he tried to wake her up by timidly poking her arm "Marith-san, Marith-san, do you want to have lunch with me?"

If Marith opened her her eyes to look at the voice's source, she would see that it was the same boy she had waved to earlier in the morning and that he was kind of blushing and acted very bashful as he talked with her. "Also, if you want I can help you with today's lessons" he said offering her his notebook.

@The ghost in black

---

Far away from there...

The Passion showed as a strange flash of blue light appeared close to where the Silver Ryu stood in his vigilance and soon after the crack of a thunder could be heard, even though the sky was clear.

Both the sound and the light came from a not too distant junkyard that was located more or less half way between the location of the Silver Ryu and the school. If Ethan focused his attention to the junkyard, he would notice what look like to be a black winged humanoid shooting silvery blue thunderbolts, trying to hit a girl who ran desperately in the scrap metal maze.

If any of they wanted to interfere before the fallen angel would be able to hit his mark, they wouldn't have time to ask for the others' help. It was a matter of do or don't for Ethan and Stella, as well as for the Silver Ryu.

@Card Captor@Drake Baku

@demonspade64@KoL

"I see, well I can certainly help with that."

Orin was thinking of a very hard spell to avoid as he took the chopsticks out of his mouth, not having noticed he had been chewing on them they were now half the length they were before. "There are some very fast spells that will likely work. I have even seen a wind type of defensive spell, but I am sure you have come up with your own technique so we can try that out after this" Taking out a can from his pocket he poped it open and took a nice gulp of the coffee flavored milk.

After finishing up his meal Orin would stand "Well, we can attempt it now if you wish. At least a little bit, I will put up a barrier." Raising his hand he motioned out a few gestures that he was writing in the air right before blackened chains slowly crept around the doors and windows. A barrier just to keep any nosy humans out for a little while, they would likely think it was locked or something. "Right then. I think our best bet would be to use the Hades Needle spell. Don't worry I will blunt it so it shouldn't piece you." Strangely he sounded unsure about that last part...

"oh yeah...I almost forgot; you have a pretty face"

At that comment Stella began to blush "Uh, yeah, thanks" she said not really knowing what to say, this was actually the first time a boy told her that.
Suddenly something showed up on the map which draw her attention.
"Zoom, zoom in" she said, wanting to know what the hell was happening.
Once Ethan did it she would instantly recognize the outline.
A fallen Eclip confirmed.
Instantly Stella got up and moved towards the edge of the roof in the direction of the junkyard, she had recognized it on the map and knew where it was already, but first she turned to Ethan.
"E." she called him for short "This guy uses light, its poison to you devils right, I can still fight him, I cant stop you from following me or anything but I advice you to stay put, we can always find Ryu later if needed" With that Stella jumped off the roof and fell down.
Shortly after however she activated her gear and began rising up in the air, picking up speed with ease when flying.
could you not have asked him to get the group and follow
"then there all in danger of those spears, well who knows, he could follow, he could get the group on his own or I am going solo, wont matter I guess, where there first anyway"
But just us against a fallen
"If we cant eat him then we cant join them, simple"
Literally Die or swim huh, were of no use to them if we cant handle this much, your going to make a great dragon this way

----------------

Silver Ryu

As Ryu noticed a bolt of blue light and the sound of thunder, it was easy to figure out something was off and he felt he should check it out in case there are those that need help.
Using the silver mass on his legs he jumped higher then normal humans could, landing by the mass and jumping again, further this time as he forced the silver skin to act like a vault or a spring, quickly moving towards the location he had seen the storm.
It was surprising that he was there first, not that he knew there were others on their way, likely launching himself over rooftops gave him the speed advantage, as that he moved while Stella was going like zoom in zoom in.

However what he was looking at was surprising, well not as badly as you would expect, Ryu had powers so why would there not exist someone else with powers as well.
But something felt off on this guy, black wings and lightning power, this guy had two power?
Regardless Ryu acted, using a small interval with the attacks to jump in and grab the girl, jumping across a pile and dropping here there.
"Exit is that way"
Then Ryu jumped back on the said pile.
"Yo, whats up with the bolts, did she dump you so badly it shocked you or something?"

(OOC: Notes, If Eclip lacks " " then he speaks telepathically
second off, I have some plans for this matter, I take it @KoL is playing the fallen or can we use the fallen as we want as well?
I dont know why he was attacking the girl though, Ill PM you with my idea)

"What do we have here?" The fallen angel said as the silver vigilante appeared and saved his quarry right before he could land the killing blow "A mere human trying to interfere on our quarrel?" He then, landed right in front of the masked man before asking "Do you have any idea of what you did by saving her? Do you realize that she's a devil, while I'm an angel?"

In fact, if the Silver Ryu looked behind him, he would be able to see a pair of broken black wings sprouting from the back of the, now unconscious, small girl "Are you going to stay in my path even after you've seen the truth with your own eyes?" The angel asked as another spear of lightning appeared on his hand.

@Drake Baku

Putting his iPod on the floor along side the sand map, he plugged into it with the Passion to get visuals from the silver ryu guy back. Oddly enough, he hand't seemed to move since they had last saw him. Suddenly, Stella told him to zoom in on his iPod. He did so, and he noticed an outline which she identified as a fallen. That wasn't good news. This was devil territory, the fallen shouldn't even be here. Suddenly Stella moved to the edge of the roof and started telling him that she was going after that fallen by herself. Oh, and she also called him 'E'. That was so cute! They already had petnames for each other. Ethan just knew that the two of them were going to be best friends. 'I wonder if she likes to cuddle? She looks really cuddly, so I bet she does.' Ethan was excited just thinking about it 'I just wish that the others liked cuddling too. I remember the last time I tried to cuddle with Orin, he threw me out of his bed. That made me sad.'

Grabbing his sand map and iPod, he ran over to a tile on the roof that was loose. Pulling it up, he stashed his things away in the mostly empty space and taking out a deck of cards inside it, under it before putting it back. With his tools safely stored, and the deck of cards in hand, he took out his wings and fly "waaaaaaaait!" he cried out "I'm coming with you!" he called out to Stella as he pulled out his cellphone to send Faye a text.
