(Ryuu POV) -10:25pm-
I was walking up to Mr Kamado's room with food as he asked for earlier tonight, As I get to him room and knock to only be met with silence so I said "Mr Kamado I am coming in with your food." As I open the door I freeze and accidentally drop the plate I was holding.
(Rika POV) -10:10pm-
I awake and decide to take a shower after washing up I wrap a towel around my waist and take a second to look at my body with all the scars in places that should be fatal and then the two tattoos the oni mask with a cross I got from God and then Anbu tattoo on my left arm which can be seen pretty easy right now."Man this body is like every-mans dream huh?" As I finish I walk into my room completely ignoring the fact that there's someone else in my room then I hear someone drop something rather loudly as I turn I see the Elf Ryuu I believe her name was standing at the entrance of my room staring at me more specifically my Anbu tattoo 'Does she know something' I thought then I see my plate of food on the ground and I frown slightly she seems to notice this and says "Sorry about that Mr Kamado I'll clean this up" She sounded a bit flustered
(Ryuu POV)
After I drop the plate my eyes after focusing on a tattoo only skimming over the scared and cut body of Mr Kamado 'Why does that tattoo look familiar' I snap out of my stupor to fully see Mr Kamado's Scared and chiseled body fully focused on me as I trace his body with my eyes to see him looking at the floor with a slight frown on his face I follow where he is looking to his plate of food on the floor I was slightly flustered looking at his body and thinking about the fact I dropped his food so I say "Sorry about that Mr Kamado I'll clean this up"
In response he says "No need Ms Ryuu I'll clean it up after I get dressed and then I'll come down to order again" I look up to him to see a warm smile plastered on his face, So I bowed and left the room
(Rika POV)
After putting my black undershirt and pants on I slide my shinobi sandals on and wrap the signature bandages around my ankles. A little while after cleaning up the food I walk down to the tavern and walk over to the bar and see Ms Ryuu waiting for me at the bar with a plate of food and a mug of Ale beside it so walk to the seat closest to her and sit down and ask "Is this mine Ms Ryuu?" She looks at me for a second without responding before she says "Yes Mr Kamado it is." I nod and start to eat.
Ryuu:"Hey Mr Kamado I have a quick question what's that tattoo on your left arm?" As soon as she says that I freeze what I was doing.
Ryuu narrows he eyes at I after he froze now they are just staring at each other until they heard "The big party is here Nya!" Turning I saw the Loki familia walking in the bar so I take that chance and finish up my Ale and say to Ryuu thanks for the food and start to walk up to my room I could see that Ryuu wanted to say something but I was already walking to the stairs.
Ryuu:'Why does that tattoo feel familiar'
Rika:'HOLY SHIT THAT WAS CLOSE, man I don't know what I'd do to answer her let alone if it got Loki's attention
Loki:'Sneezes'
Finn:"You okay Loki?"
Loki:"Yeah someone's talking about me tho~"
After Rika returned to his room he put his equipment back on and headed down stairs with his mask on completely forgetting that the same Goddess he had just delivered a note too would recognize him with his mask let alone his whole Anbu outfit but that didn't seem to click in mind as he walked down the stairs everyone's eyes were on the rather tall cloaked and masked man walking to the exit.
Loki:Heyyyyy Mr Anbu~
Rika stopped as he could feel the sweat on his forehead from being caught by Loki of all people so hey didn't say anything but turned around to look at Loki
Finn:'What's going on my thumb is throbbing'
Bete:"tch,who's the weakling Loki"
Out of everyone's expectations Loki snapped back at Bete saying "Watch your mouth Bete" in a rather serious note even though she was as drunk as a sailor
Everyone was taken aback by how Loki was serious when speaking to this person but when they went to look at this person he was already gone
Loki:"Damnit Bete that was the first I've talked to someone like him I wanted to be on good terms but your damn ego always gets in the way!"
Finn:"Loki calm down,Who was that?"
Loki:"I don't know his name but he works for an organization known as Anbu" after saying that a few high level adventures gasped seemingly knowing what that organization is.
Finn:"we could always figure out his name I mean he rented a room here?"
Loki:"NO absolutely not that's one of the things you don't do with them is trying to pry into who they are!"
Finn:"ok but why?"
Loki:"ill tell you when we get back to manor."
Bete:"tch, better be a good reason weaklings like him aren't worth the time of day!"
Loki:"Bete id advise you to be careful around like him because even I can't protect you if something happens."
This was another Huge shock to everyone at the table knowing whoever this person was or ever this person worked for was strong enough to take THEM on the LOKI FAMILIA the number 2 in all of ORARIO.
Loki:"damnit I forgot to give him the letter back oh well looks like we will be seeing each other again Phenex~" Loki said with a sly grin
Finn:" is that his name?"
Loki:"nope it's his code name everyone of there 'Agents' have one"
Finn:"I see very well everyone let's get back to the manor I would really like to hear about this 'Anbu'"
Finn:"Oh and also Loki how did you figure out his code name?"
Lokis smile grew as she said "Well we might be seeing him a lot more~"
"""WHATTTT"""
But what they didn't know is that three people were listening in too there conversation them being Ryuu another barmaid with silvery platinum hair was also listening in and the last was the topic of conversation himself.
(After the Loki Familia Returned to the twilight manor)
All of the executives were at the meeting table along with Loki.
Finn:"Alright do you mind explaining now Loki?"
Loki:"Very well."
Loki:"It was after the gods descended and sealed off the dungeon for a small period of time and started to make Familia's did this group first appear no one knows how long they have been around every-time some one would catch one of these guys wether it be a god or mortal they would either commit suicide or be tortured by whom ever caught them for answers about their organization but only a few people have gotten information about them and within days of them having it the whole familia and their allied ones were annihilated within one night no one truly knows what they do but from we gathered over the years it seems they are an organization that involves assassinations,information gathering and exporting along with task taking etc so it's like a top secret guild were all of their 'Agents' are highly trained and each of them have their own unique set of skills I was at first worried when one of them showed themselves to me and Aiz because they usually stay out of the light like the meaning of the word 'Anbu' is 'Darkside'"
Everyone took some time to take this information in the first to speak was Riveria asking "What's the reason he showed him self to you Loki?"
Loki just smiled and pulled out a note with something written on it and started reading.
We at the Anbu will be starting to investigate branches of Evilus still spread out within Orario we request either mutual cooperation
Or allowing us to handle the situation we have sent an agent to deliver this not but he will not be the only one if you would like to go with mutual cooperation or letting us handle this then pour a bit of mana in this note and the agent that delivered it will appear and wait for your response
The agents who will be working with you are Phenex,Mouse,boar,tiger and their squad captain Predator if you go to mutual cooperation he will assign a anbu to shadow your familia or be out in the open to observe the surroundings, And look for Evilus.
Finn:"I see but how did you know that what Phenex earlier?"The blonde Pallum and the captain of his familia asked
The his question everyone looked at Loki who gained a smirk on her face and she replied "I of course had Aiz put some mana in it earlier and call for their squad captain" as she finished she raised her chin and puffed up her chest
All of the executives besides Aiz:"""WHATTTTT"
Loki:"What?"
Riveria:"What if they did something to you Loki!"
Loki:"I never really thought about that."
Riveria:"and you Aiz why did you agree to her?!"
To her question she tilted her head and said "they seemed strong so I wanted to learn."
Everyone just deadpanned including Loki while looking at her.
Finn:"and I'm guessing the 'Agent' the assigned to us is Phenex?"
Loki:"Yes and he told me to pour some mana into this" she pulls out a long blue feather
Riveria:"it looks like a normal feather?"
Bete:"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT"
Everyone looked over to see Bete shaking in his place while looking at Bete
Finn:"what's wrong Bete?"
Bete:"whatever the hell that feather came from is strong really strong my instincts are telling me to run as faraway as I can."
This statement shocked a few people while smiled and said "this is a Phoenix feather"
Riveria:"I heard they were all extinct???"
Loki:"who knows but he said if we want to call and talk to Phenex we need to pour mana in this and he'll come"
Riviera:"Alright give it here I'll do it"
Finn:"I agree"
Gareth the older dwarf executive of the familia chipped in and said "I agree we can atleast try to talk to him about a few things."
After the 3 top executives agreed Riveria poured some mana into the feather that caught flames but not normal they were blue with a hint of gold but instead dropping the feather Riveria held on too it
Finn:"HEY DROP IT ITS ON FIRE!"
Riveria:" Wait, it's different then normal these flames aren't burning me?"
Then they heard a voice in the corner of the room
"It's because I didn't ask them too."
Everyone snapped their head to the voice to see a man standing in the Corner with a white and blue mask with a black undershirt a grey vest black pants and sandals the first they noticed is his arms being heavily Scarred and a weird shaped tattoo on his left arm then they looked at his mask to see his eyes that were two different colors one could be described as the ocean how deep and blue it was the other could be the sun how bright and yellow it was they could see shoulder length silver and black hair tied into a ponytail as well as the hilt on the blade peeking out over his shoulder.
Everyone went on guard but the first to speak was Riveria:"what do you mean you didn't ask them too?"
Rika:"Well I mean it is my feather so I can control who can and who can't touch it."
Riveria:"Are you saying you are a Phoenix?" Riveria asked amused that this 'man' was claiming he was a mythical immortal bird that's said to be extinct
Rika's response was to stick his right arm out and using the 'Partial Transformation' that Marco used in OP his arm turned into a long blue wing with streaks of gold and blue fire all around and on it.
Everyone's Jaw hit the floor after watching this just take place. Loki was the first to recover and asked pleadingly "Heyyy~ Mr Phenex you want to join my familia?"
Rika just looked at her and sighed and said "While it would be fun I'm not sure if I'm allowed to ya know~"
Rika:"but I could ask if ya do me a favor~"
Loki: "And what might that be" she asked with one eye open and her attitude completely changing
Rika:"would you happen to have another room someone kinda figured out who I am both under the mask and over it while I was staying at the Hostess of Fertility"
After he said that a few peoples breath hitched and Loki sighed and said "Don't go destroying that place now it's the only good bar in town"
Rika just laughed and said "Hahaha.....don't worry I could care less about if someone found out my identity" as he said that he pulled off his mask revealing a chiseled face and a scar across his nose "Same as iruka from Naruto".
Riviera:"WAIT WAIT WAIT YOUR A PHOENIX????!"
Rika:"Well in your term I'm a semi human half Phoenix half human"
Riveria:"that dosent make it better!"
She says as she dead panned
"Hahahahaha this is already interesting" Gareth says while taking a drink of alcohol out of a leather flask he got from God knows were
Finn just sighed while Aiz starred at him intensely
Rika seemingly noticing this said "Is there something on my face?"
Aiz response was rather simple but caught him off guard "Are you strong" this seemingly caught everyone's attention as they turned to him
Rika:"well there's different definitions of 'Strong' compared to you a level six I won't be able to be able to win in a fight but I also won't lose if I go all out."
Aiz just nodded while Bete did his signature tch and walked over to him to grab his collar but before anyone could say stop he had all ready grabbed it and pulled Rika closer to him growling and said "A weakling like you beating one of us ha funny joke"
As he finished his words he felt a force pushing his body away and he couldn't resist and flew straight into the wall creating spider web cracks along it.
Everyone looked toward Bete and looked back to see Rika in a kicking position with one of his legs extended and transformed into a Phoenix talan.
Rika:"Is he always like that" I ask while looking at the rest they all sigh and nod while I revert my leg only to get stabbed in my shoulder I didn't react to the pain and only looked over to see Aiz with determination in her eyes then I hear
Finn:"AIZ what are you doing?!"
Aiz:"He's strong I want to fight him."she says in a innocent tone pulling out her sword and looking at it there was no blood on it and looking at the wound there wasn't anything coming out of it so I just sigh and allow my healing abilities to kick it a small blue flame filled the wound and in a instant it was back to normal like nothing happened while Aiz was slack jawed I just look at Loki and asked "So you got a extra room" She smiled and joked "you can sleep with me if you like~" I just deadpanned at her she finally stopped and said "Geez will ya lighten up and yeah right beside Six's and if ya do anything to her I'll come after you."She said in a deadly tone I just raise a eyebrow and look at Finn who gave a wry smile and then I asked Aiz to take me there because I'm tired and she agreed.
(No POV)
After Rika left the executives look at each other then at Bete and sighed while Loki gave a mischievous smile and said "Well for someone without a falna to able to do that is someone we want especially with plus he's a Demi Phoenix" The rest nodded until Finn stopped his eyes going wide and screamed "WAIT HES JUST A NORMAL DEMI HUMAN WITH NO FALNA???"
The rest seemed to figure out what Loki said and snapped their head to Loki while their eyes say they want answers she smiled and says " Like I said at Anbu their pretty much monsters" the rest weren't satisfied with what they heard and were planing on asking Loki more but she interrupted that and said "Remember what I said before about people who tried to dig into important information about them" They all nodded and headed off to bed.
Agh man this took forever and I hope it was a decent chapter y'all:)
