Two souls clashed on the realm of thoughts.
`Ahaha. Why're you protecting him?????!` he hopped away from Shade
The other one smiled as he hopped back and dashed towards Shade attacking him with his fists
*Kabaam*
Shade touches his head, blood spilled down on his cheek, he glanced at the other one with furious eyes
`People stay and people go. Now tell me the difference?` he yanked Shade's head
Shade sliced the other one's chest with his bare fingers
The other one hopped backwards and touched his chest as his blood continued spilling out
`All of you doesn't understand the meaning of life...it's simply suffering while waiting for freedom.`
Shade stood up all stiff and prepared to attack
`Anger, hatred, fear, sadness, guilt, and envy is the true source of soul energy, your soul's shape depends on your emotions.`
He touched his golden hair and slide it back against his forehead
`You just wanted to save him because of your selfish desires`
Shade frowned as he hopped back towards the other one
`Then how about a deal?` he lifted his hands and attempted to shake hands with each other
He slapped the hand away and looked at him furiously
`I see...`
`...you do not like handshakes huh?`
He sighed and later laughed
`Too bad for you.`
*SQUIRT*

After the talk I had with Andre--the captain/leader of the deathbringer 3rd division, he said something odd that made me feel more cautious around Kageyama.
I head back towards Kageyama's office, and sighed
"Oh you're back Eve~" he waved his hand at me with Scarlet at the opposite side of the table holding a card
"Ah yes, I'm back...." I slightly bowed my head to show some respect and appreciation
"Me and your friend--Scarlet here are playing cards, well, more like a bet." he smiled at me and lifted his hand
"Y-yes, I can see that..." I drifted towards Scarlet as she was oddly quiet
"Sit here, Eve-sama" Kageyama pats the couch beside him and smiled at me, I slowly went over there and sat
"So, did you made up your mind?" he takes a sip of his tea and smiled
"Uhh, I refuse." I clenched my fist as I have already said my words
"I see" he smiled as he puts his saucer on the table and began to draw cards, I drifted my eyes on Scarlet, but she was still quiet
"Eve, come and play with us" he puts two cards on the table and smirked, I looked at both sides and the guards earlier were nowhere to be found in his room
"Don't worry you can trust me" he smiled and stood up
He puts a stack of documents on the table and pats on it. "I will gladly help you for you to join me and this department." he smiled once more
"..." I bit my lip and clenched my fist, I was having two thoughts, I narrowed my eyes as I drifted back towards her
She just nodded and left the room without a word
"Seems like Scarlet's no longer be able to get in my way on recruiting you, so, what's your response?"
My hand trembled as I curled my eyebrows
"Eve, tell me right now"
"..." I lifted my head and had finally made up my mind
"I--"
*CAAAAWW*
The sound of the crow's caw lingers in everyone's ear
I went outside the room and looked for Scarlet, she was there on the balcony sitting on a bench as the wind blew her brown hair
Her light skin can be seen clearly as the sunlight shone on the building
I approached her slowly as I looked at her mask
(She doesn't take off her mask no matter what, even at night time...)
I looked around and sat behind the other bench behind hers, I looked up high and sighed
"How'd it go?" she pats the cat on her lap as it purrs when sleeping
"It went great...also, Scarlet, I am no longer a kid anymore, so don't let me quit, I will end this career once I find him." I looked at her
She sighed and stood up, "Fine, I won't...."
"Really??" I beamed up as she said those words
"....but beware, now that you've met two captains from two different divisions of deathbringers, you have to be aware of what happens next from now on"
"Yes, I am aware of that." I stood up and nodded at her
She stood quiet and walked towards the entrance, of course, I followed her from behind to walk towards our base
After an hour of walking without getting noticed from the society, we simply arrived at our base near the sea shore
Frisk was there on the captain's balcony reading a book with a cup of coffee, he looked at us as we climbed towards the cabin
"How was it??" he flipped on another page and looked at us
"Nothing happened." Scarlet jumped in and walked towards the chair
"I met someone scary today..." I smiled awkwardly as he stares at me
"How scary, to be exact?" he raised an eyebrow
"Uhhh...." I looked at Scarlet and she continues to read some papers, "Like uhhh, tall man with darkish yellow hair, and he smokes" I acted something's to make it look like Andre
"I see, so, what's his name??" he looked at me with much interest on what happened back there
"Uhhhh...Andrew??"
(I lied)
"Oh, Andre???" he raised both of his brows and widened his eyes
"Uhhhh yes??"
(What the heck???)
"I know Andre so no need to hide the fact that you met him" he smiled at me
"Uhhh yes, thank you"
(Huh? Why did I thank him?)
He smiled as he closes his eyes to sip his tea, "Would you like to have some tea with me?" he raised his cup and looked at me
"Uhh, sure, why can't I?"
"Because it might contain bane."
I flinched as he said those words, my sweat came running down on my body, I didn't take his offer and just stood there like a penguin
(Does he intend to kill me?)
"What do you mean—" !!!!!
Badump Badump Badump
(W-what is this?!!! My chest hurts, I can't breathe—!)
HUFF HUFF HUFF HUFF HUFF
I clenched my shirt so hard that my hand has weakened, my eyes came blurry as I wept from the pain
"Ha—ack!!!!" I stumbled down on the wooden plank, Frisk quickly ran up to me, "Oi, Adam, are you okay????" he lifted my arms and I passed out
I woke up on my bed facing the ceiling, I looked around and they were sitting on the bench looking at me
"Finally woke up?" someone approached me on the other side of the bed and it was a tall, black-haired man with dark cool eyes
"Uhh, who are you?" I asked politely and he smiled
"I am Dr. William Henderson, and your friends called me to help you" he puts his hand on his chest and smiled
"I'm sorry, I must've cause trouble for you guys" I felt ashamed
"Don't worry, you didn't. It's partially also my fault since I scared the heck out of you."
"But you didn't mean that right?" I raised a brow and my voice was trembling
"Of course, Scarlet is right beside us so I can't do it, I wouldn't kill you though, you are important."
I stood up from the bed and bowed on the doctor, "Thank you so much for healing me sir"
"No problem at all, you can call me anytime~" he left with his suitcase
(Frisk seems an intelligent and cunning person, but I should be wary of him from time to time…)
"Eve"
"!"
"Come with me for a bit"
The sound of the boots clacking echoes in the hall, the silence between both of us has been uninterrupted from the start of the walk
"You think it was done intentionally?"
"Aah, no…"
I stood up straight while looking on ahead
As we walked silently together, a sound of boots again echoed in a distance
"Well, well, Adam Grey…. it's an honor to meet you like this"
I could tell from his body gestures, a tall man with deep and attractive voice that could make the women crazy, his sense of fashion is all flashy
(This guy, definitely know something about 'it')
Few days earlier, Eve began to research and found out about HIS identity, by snatching some files from Kageyama's department
*****
[ Adam Grey
13 ½ years old
Appearance:
Blonde hair, blue eyes (as if he is from a royal family), 5'4ft tall
1st log:
{Due to another mysterious soul residing inside his body, his power source seems a bit off, according to codename: LANCER, and wrote his letter 9/7/XX:
"I have met another prodigy today, the same as 0-0-0-4, though still missing, his body was able to withstand such tremendous power from a monster lurking inside of him, we have one and new vessel for HIM"
I am trying my best to know everything about HIS 'perfect vessel' and in total 1012 candidates failed; I'm looking forward to work with you, Doctor…"}
]
("candidates??" "Vessels"?? What is exactly happening???)
***present***
"Allow me to introduce myself, I am the infamous Robert G'iere"
("G'iere" ??)
"Yes, apparently, my great-great grandfather is the founder of the G'iere organization, yet you still wanna become one, boy?" his smile was reaching from ear to ear, I jolted as he looked at me with that creepy smile
I glanced at Scarlet and her aura was immersive, wind twirled on the room, with her control
On a minor signal, I already got her plan, without even talking
We nodded at each other
"Shall we dance, mademoiselle?" he reached out his slender hands towards Scarlet's
(What.)
(In.)
(The.)
(World?)
I hopped onwards as quickly as I could. As I land my foot on the ground, I charged at him
Woosh
With a slight distance on my fist from his face, he was unharmed
"I did not ask you, boy" he raised his arm and by the speed that I didn't caught in my eye, he punched me.
"Oh dear, what a fuss to make" he tilted his hat and grinned
Heh.
Woosh
Scarlet, knowing what we nodded at each other, she jumped high and landed a blow on his face with GRAVITY
Book 6 Page 125:
[For every action in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction.]
(In other words, potential energy, by jumping high and depending on your weight, as you land on the ground, the impact is doubled.)
Bam#@!#
Scarlet hopped backwards as Frisk stood there at the door, hearing the noise
*Sigh*
"I thought we could make a good pair…."
We jolted as he cracked his neck while fixing his hat
"….but I guess, you are not suitable to be my partner" he pulled something out from his coat and it was DAGGERS
I signaled Frisk to do what he needs to do, unexpectedly, he nodded and went out of the area
""This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man."
"!!!"
(He stopped?)
*Grin*
"I sincerely apologize, for I cannot stay any longer, I have my word from the captain, and as we meet again, mademoiselle" after that, he jumped on the broken ceiling and left no trace
I ran back towards the cabin and expected something from Frisk
"I got him, really good, thanks for that Eve" he puts aside the scope
"No problem, what information did you get?" I took a chair and sat, I glanced back at Scarlet and she sighed
"First of all, his sense of fashion is more fancy than I thought, with those skills and knowledge, he may have been from your school, judging by the way he moves, he respects everyone in that way, maybe because his 'captain' expects that, and I last saw him flew, is South-East" he pointed
(The same school as mine?)
"Eve, you may not have been able to know something about your school before, but it was Huete G'iere Academy, check it out if you're curious about it"
"He seems to be in a hurry earlier, what did you got?"
(She finally spoke) *both Frisk and Eve*
"It seems like a telepathy thing, and he was able to communicate with his captain the whole time" Frisk sighed and stretched out
"A telepathy thingy….."
"….Just like Astro"
! *flinch* !
"Did you just remember, him?"
