Wee, it was summer! The sun was out and shining, not a single cloud in the sky. It was just one of those days that people would say "hey, today's a good day to die". Well, today something different was going to happen.

It wasn't unusal to see strange things on the courtyard, and today was no different. Today, it looked like there were two dead bodies just lying there, ready to start rotting and stinking up the place. That's when one of them started to stir, rolling over onto his stomach before sitting up.

"The fuck? Ack, it's bright! Aye caramba.....Hey....Where are my sunglasses!"

The young man jumped to his feet as he patted himself down. A look of horror crossed his face. Without his coat and sunglasses and robotic arm, he looked much different than before, but he was still the same fiesty young man.

"Where's my coat! And my guns! Someone better explain before I gotta break some faces, yo."

He scratched his left arm and noticed that something was different. It wasn't metal. It was normal flesh. He was about to start freaking out when he heard a groan behind followed by the smacking of lips.

"Uggh, I'm hungry...."

The first young man quickly spun around to look at who the person was, already knowing who it was. Seeing him there just dropped Johnny's heart to his testicle area.

Johnny:"Musashi! You godforsaken bastard! Why'd you have to be here?"

Ryu[^__^]:"Hey Johnny! What are you doing in my imagination? I only dream about you on Thursdays!"

Johnny:".....I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that."

One of AHS's most notable love/hate relationships had just restarted with the return of the Infamous Johnny Rodz and his archnemesis, School Legend, Ryu Musashi. For most it wouldn't be important, but for the few who were close to the two....Well, for them it'd just be Ryu returning from the dead for a second or third time. They probably lost count. Johnny was now on the board with one return from the dead. All in all it just proved that death at AHS never lasted forever.

Lazy wasn’t a word Diana could often be described as. Anyone who knew the girl well enough would have known her to always be busy with something. So imagine the sheer irony of it all when she decided just to take a day for herself for once. She’d be leaving in a few days to go home, but for now she was just enjoying the beautiful sunshine and the weather, nice as it was, to her full extent. In other words, she was lazily striding over the school grounds with nothing better to do for once. Somewhere between darting all over the place to helping Alex, she hardly had time for herself anymore.

The girl in question was reflecting on her time at AHS. The people she had met, and those she had yet to meet, but mostly how much she had changed. Gone were the barriers that kept her past a mystery. It had taken a long time to accept whom she used to be, even longer to realize she was free to choose her path from this point on. The thought it self set her hopes free to soar and she was expressing it full force running top speed no with arms stretched out at her sides like some child, laughing joyfully.

Long white hair whipped behind her in a streak, and the skirt of her light blue shirtdress danced around just above her knees. It was good to be alive. Oddly enough, she never expected to see the two people she would run across out here. One being none other than Ryu Masashi, the first person she ever had the pleasure of meeting at AHS and the other Johnny. She remembered Johnny as the guy she hit with the water balloon and despite the fact he responded by shooting at them that day she was both shocked, surprised, and somewhat happy to see him too. Skidding to an abrupt halt, she just stood there. She lifted her sunglasses to reveal crimson eyes that were wide in disbelieving at the site before her. They were supposed to be dead. The news had traveled around the whole school months ago and yet there they were.

Skeptical as she was she approached Ryu, viewing him as the safer of the two. What a sight she must have been, the shock written all over her face as she reached a tentative hand over to poke Ryu gently. An audible gasp left her lips as he was indeed real, and she had to question her own sanity for a moment before finally speaking.

“Ryu… is that really you? I thought you were dead!?”

Ah but thats not where the gunslinger parade ended, in the courtyard was one of AHS's most notable drop outs and a certain pink haired woman that had once captured the heart of Johnny. Seran Hellsing and Makura Seppu, not so recent friends were practicing their weapons gleaming in the light. In Makura's hands her old shining silver shotgun and in the hands of her opponent for this day were a f polished black pistol. The game wasnt to see who could shoot the other into a pile of pulp but who could end a mexican standoff without a gunshot and take a clear victory. It was an odd game but for the girls it was the only way to live.

Adrennaline pumped through both their veins their movments going faster then most amature kung fu actors. Pushing the shotgun to the side with her elbow Seran's hand went quick to block Makura's who was going to remove the pistol from her hand. The raven-haired girl went low and swurved to the side and behind Makura her arm going around the other girl's neck and her gun sliding out of the conflict and pressing against Makura's head. "Thats one for me." they laughed and the girls seperated returning to their ready positions their guns aimed at each other.

Makura was the quick one this time gun in hand she went low and slammed the side of Seran's pistol with the side of her hand the back of her finger somehow finding the clip release, now the gun held only one bullet and Makura didnt waste time slamming back the top of the weapon the bullet flying out the side like oh so many used shells. "Click...I win."

"Hehe...you're pretty good gal but...give the devil her due." Seran picked up the bullet and slammed it back in the clip and replaced it back in the gun. This was going to be the final round before a break after all they had been doing these repeated manuvers again and again until most of them became a reflex. Once again the girls went into the ready position, and once again Makura made the first move trying to slam the gun away from her this time with her own gun, but Seran didnt take it that way, her foot went up into the air and came across the gun top her body seeming to not move at all durring this which for a women in her current condition was quite unusual. Seran didnt stop there and Makura wasnt too happy about it, her foot that knocked the gun out of the way was knocked upwards and into the air, Seran could jump higher and got her fingers around the handle first, both weapons came down aimed at Makura and Seran smiled playfully and winked before tossing the gun back.

"Heh...you cheated."

"Says you."

After getting poked Ryu giggled slightly. Females being shocked that he was around was sorta new to Ryu. Then Diana confirmed something Johnny had suspected happened to himself, though was slightly surprised it happened to Ryu too.

Ryu[o.o?]:"I was dead?...."

It took Ryu a few moments to remember his last moments of life. Normally this would be something someone wouldn't forget, but Ryu was sorta different when it came to him dying. He had gotten close to death many times and even died a few times. It's not something that shakes him anymore.

Snapping his fingers, Ryu remembered what happened. He was fighting his brother. He used the Ultimate Gun Art, and killed Batista, but due to how much the fight weakened him, the strain from the attack killed Ryu.

Ryu[^__^;;]:"Oh yeah! I was dead!"

Johnny[-__-;;]:"Estupido, idiota...."

After shaking his head in embaressmen, Johnny turned his attention to Diana. He looked her over before raising an eyebrow, crossing his arms over his chest.

Johnny:"Hmm, I don't think I know you. No, of course I don't. I've only met one angel before and he was a guy."

Gently grabbing Diana's hand, he lifted it up and kissed the back of it in the true gentleman manner. Johnny had a small smile on his face afterwards. He thought he was hella-slick and debonair. Ryu was just sorta watching this go on in a slightly clueless manner.

Johnny:"'Sup, my name is Johnny. Johnny Rodz. What's yours', bonita?"

The Crowd Effect was coming into effect as soon as Diana had walked over to the two formerly-dead guys. Her just standing there looking at them was enough to draw attention to her, the attention of AHS's resident schizonphrenic. Cathy was in control at the moment, and even she was resistant to curiosity. So seeing this young girl looking at two rather handsome-looking young men, at least that is how she saw them, and her opinions do not reflect those of the other spirits in that body. As a reflex she lightly licked her lips and walked over to the men and stood next Diana. There, she got a better look at them.

Johnny:"'Sup, my name is Johnny. Johnny Rodz. What's yours', bonita?"

If she was not letting her libido get the best of her, Cathy would have noticed that Johnny was speaking to Diana. But it was getting the best of her at the moment, and she assumed that he was speaking to her, even if he was holding her hand. She was also forgetting that the body she was using was not her former, more shapely and feminine, one, but the one of a young man that was supposed to be dead. So, this in mind, he may have found it a little creepy to see the body of Marco lean over in a would-be seductive fashion, and look him in the eyes with an uncomfortable feeling to them.

Cathy: "Well, my name is Catherine, young man. But you can call me Cathy."

She finished off her answer with a wink directed at him.

Diana stood there, completely dumbfounded for once in her life. Watching Ryu’s reaction to her statement provide just a minor insight to the boy. This lead her to believe that either Ryu had a few screws knocked lose or he was just that light hearted and death wasn’t something he took seriously. Either way it took her a moment to grasp his nonchalant attitude over the situation. It was also about that time she felt eyes on her. Always the observant one she looked over to see Johnny staring at her, or for lack of better terms ‘checking her out’. For a moment she entertained the thought of either a. ducking behind Ryu, or b. running away out of fear for her life. Of course, she ended up doing c. standing there like a deer in the headlights.

For a second time within the span a few seconds she was knocked for a loop and completely speechless. First off, he called her an angel. Well she certainly wasn’t that but being called as such was a bit flattering. The next thing she knew her hand was is his and he was... kissing it!? Diana’s cheeks flushed slightly and she smiled nervously at Johnny. This was just not happening, right? No way he wasn’t hitting on her. Never the type to be rude she wasn’t going to deny him her name, but she certainly was having a hard time getting it out.

Thankfully a quick distraction came from the other gi... boy as he introduce himself as Catherine and for a moment she turned and looked at the him. Blinking a few times at his appearance and the femminine nature of his greeting she was silently thanking him for the interruption. Slowly she looked back at Johnny, not even bothering to try and get her hand away for fear of enraging the crazy man. She smiled sincerely, despite the slight embarrassment, it wouldn’t hurt to at least extend him her name, or would it? Surely not, and taking a deep breath she decided it was best not to keep him waiting.

“...and I’m Diana. Diana McClure, it’s nice to meet you Johnny.”

Some water in their throat and the girls were feeling a bit better after practicing Seran mildly glad that this opponent wasnt entirely crappy. It had been ages since she had been in a good work out like this. Idly Seran checked her gun flicking the safety on and slid it into the holster at her hip before trying to drum up a conversation with this other girl. "So...your legs healed since Germany? You did come out of that car pretty hard."

"Yeah...the glass hurt..." Makura was quiet before her eyes caught a familliar sight, Johnny, kissing another girl's hand, though she was a shadow she up until now had thought of Johnny as having some backbone, some sense of right and wrong but apperantly that had gone away with his former life. She ran towards him and shouted knowing that her voice would carry plenty well through the air.

"YOU FUCKING BASTARD!" Makura screamed at the top of her lungs leveling the shotgun at Johnny. Of course being the trigger happy psycho that she was it wasnt just one shell that was fired but about 8. While reloading she ran right at Johnny though her hair was a different color it was definately Johnny's former girlfriend. She was shouting and she was angry, angry and armed with a shotgun was not a good combination. This seemed like too much of a personal moment so Seran just stood away from this all blinking and wishing that Makura could had this kind of energy when they were practicing.

"YOU MOTHER HUMPING BASTARD! First you fucking die on me and now you are hitting on other girls? What the hell is wrong with you!"

"Well this cant end well." Gojairu said grinning as the gun toting misstress aimed to blow a hole in johnny's chest. Kagaro stood behind her. A look of utter supprise on his face "...Musashi's back." He said, then grinned.

"Dont even think it kagaro." Masashi said walking up, a newly fitted eyepatch on him. "He'll blow you away like last time."

"I see your adjusting well," Kagaro said turning slightly to masashi. "Hows life as a cyclops?" Masashi grinned "Ill pop you one in the eye and let you find out for yourself."

Kagaro ignored this. he looked over at Ryu, grinning madly. "Another chance..." He whispered, and in a flash he was in the air, wrist blade out, flying at Ryu Musashi.

"Well THAT cant end well either." Gojairu said sighing and taking out a ciggarrette. Masashi took it out of her hand. "Those are bad for ya." He said chucking it over his shoulder. "Now lets watch the fun begin."

EDIT: Yeah, you can swat him like a fly ryu >.> s'what I want to happen anyway XP

As Marco leaned closer to him, Johnny leaned away, an eyebrow raised in a "what the fuck?" manner. For a moment he turned his attention away from Diana, to think of the right words for this guy who was acting like a girl.

Johnny:"Listen holmes, I don't know about you, but I don't roll that way. And if you don't back away in 10 seconds, I'll kick your teeth down your throat."

Clearing his throat, Johnny turned away from Marco, his focus back upon Diana, a charming little smile on his face. He was about to say something slick when he heard a familiar yell of anger. Luckily for Johnny and Diana, his senses and reflexes were still top notch. Throwing himself and Diana down onto the ground, the shotgun shells flew over them. Once everything quieted down, Johnny climbed back onto his feet, helping Diana onto hers. He looked at the person who had fired at him and for a few moments was confused.

Johnny:"I know you? Oh wait....Makura! Dammit, what was the whole shooting at me for!?! Here I am trying to be friendly and nice to someone for a change and you get all pissed and start shooting at me! And what the hell happened to your hair? It looks like you got fucked up by a cotton candy machine."

Ryu had been watching the events between Johnny and all the other people sorta absent-mindedly when he felt someone flying towards him. He turned around and watched as Kagaro came flying at him, a wrist blade unsheathed.

Ryu[o.o;;]:"That's rather unexpected."

With a thought, Ryu had the air in front of Kagaro change from the various gases, into a solid brick wall. Kagaro's flight was probably going to end quickly and painfully.

Kagaros eyes widnened in shock as the brick wall apeered infront of him.

Masashi burst out laughing as kagaro hit the wall then the ground. "Same old Ryu," He said grabbing his sore ribs from laughing so much.

Gojairu grinned and walked over, dragging Kagaro back over to the small group. "Well well, seems this is failiure number two." She said grinning.

Kagaro 'hmph'ed "I wont give up..." He muttered, spitting out a tooth that had fallen out.

Looking at Johnny, one thing was for certain. Diana was rather shy when it came to things of this nature, which involved any sort of attention from boys that even border lined on the flirtatious side. Gunfire and shouting proved to pull her from her stupor, but the next thing she knew she felt herself being thrown to the ground. Now for some reason she didn’t mind that too much. It was certainly better than being pumped full of bullets and he was nice enough to help her up. By this point, whatever nervousness she had been feeling was completely washed away and her nerves were just about shot. Brushing herself off she looked to the girl Johnny had called Makura.

She was a pretty thing by Diana’s standards, pink hair, and brown eyes. She was shorter than Diana by a few inches but that was only observation. To think those foul words had come from something like her. Well appearances were always deceiving now weren’t they? All that led Diana to one conclusion, angry girlfriend. Oh, this was just great. The day just kept getting better and better, didn’t it? First, there was Ryu, back from the dead and acting like nothing happened. Second was Johnny, being nice. Third, the angry girl called Makura who shot at him. She didn’t even want to go on from there. Despite herself the comment about the cotton candy machine got the tiniest smirk. She didn’t know that wasn’t her natural hair color, it seemed to suit her though.

She decided to leave the two to their own conversation and stepped away quietly. Diana wanted no part of anyone’s personal business. Being in the middle wasn’t her idea of a fun time, not at all. Looking to Ryu she quirked an eyebrow at the brick wall behind him. He had once done something similar in her dorm, except it involved a chair and a rose, and a rather snide comment on her part. Thinking on it now, she felt rather ashamed of the way she had acted. At that time, she hadn’t been all there, literally.

“Still creating things out of thin air I see.”

She smiled brightly at Ryu she hadn’t seen him in so long. Sure, they hadn’t been close friends or anything but that didn’t mean she had completely forgotten him.

“Ryu I wanted to apologize for the way I acted the first time we met. I wasn’t exactly myself and I hope you can forgive me if I was a bit cold towards you.”

"Cotton candy machine? So says the man like he stuck his head under a drunken one eyed monkey with epilipsy and told him to take a little off the top." Makura moved a little slower coming face to face with her old aquantince in the time it would take to tip your hat, she was still armed and didnt even budge her gun aimed right across pressing it against his midsection, of course this being Makura it could have just been her attempt at cuteness. She wasnt smiling, her meloncholy expression, her eyes the tinge of dark rings around the bottom proving lack of sleep all changed the mood set by her whimsically pink hair which to be honest no one understood why she had it but she had assured people it was natural in some strange way.

"So the spanish dumbass came back to life, took you damn near long enough. Should have called and I wouldnt have thrown away the cake." Makura patted his face her expression some how still lacking in substance despite the querky insults. Being friendly or being a piss ass bitch didnt matter to Makura, what mattered was getting back a bit at the second boytoy of hers to fuck her then die she didnt have such wonderful luck with these gunfight wannabes.

Now following her new found friend was Seran, hands in her pockets she strode forward ignoring the boys who had gathered, she had never seen or heard of either of them before and why should she? They didnt even seem remotely interesting to her. Instead she went across to where Gojairu was, she had quit smoking recently and couldnt help but follow him for a moment sniffing the air from the cigarette he had previously lit, it smelled so nostalgic, so much like heaven she just craved another one of the sticks. Of course she couldnt...well she shouldnt but the lighter in her pocket said otherwise, she reached into her jacket and began playing with the silver object's top flipping it back and forth, open and close again and again.

Johnny:"Heh, you weren't making fun of my hair when you fell for me in the first place. And it's not's like I know when I'm coming back to life. Shit, I barely remember being dead."

With a sigh Johnny remembered the fact that his beloved coat and guns were missing. He wanted his stuff back! Then something else crossed his mind. He still had a duty to do.

Johnny:"Hey, where's Teo?"

Like Diana, Ryu had stepped away from Johnny and Makura, not wanting to get caught up in their squabble and not really wanting to get caught in any more crossfire. He stretched his arms out, a big smile on his face. Apparently he had been dead, but now he was alive again. That worked for Ryu. When he heard Diana's comment about making things out of thin air, Ryu responded with a grin. Her next comment required Ryu to actually respond though.

Ryu:"Oh, well, don't worry about it! It's ok. But on that note, exactly how long was I gone?"

She still couldn’t comprehend how someone took dying so lightly but this was AHS. Stranger things had happened she was sure of that. He wasn’t concerned with her attitude either, that part didn’t surprise her. It was such a trivial thing really but for Diana every little detail counted. That was her folly, could have been worse, but it was hers. As he questioned his duration of absence, she had to actually stop and think. The topic seemed so morbid but she was smiling all the while. After a quick calculation, and a double check she asserted her full attention back to him.

“I think around five months actually, I could be a bit off but it sounds about right.”

Her own words came back to strike her. Five months, that was a long time in her opinion. Things changed minute by minute she didn’t even want to think about what could have changed if she missed five months of life. Suddenly she felt almost sorry for the boy in front of her. It wouldn’t last long, since he was acting so chipper but still, it was a rather depressing thought. She didn’t want to entertain it any longer so she let it drop and going against her better judgment pondered his sunny disposition, looking at him with a quizzical eye.

“I take it you’ve done this before, the whole dying and coming back to life thing; it isn’t a new experience is it?”

"Many many months ... perhaps a full year or more; I would not know. I am still one of the newer girls in class ..."

The voice was silky soft and gentle; more strained and quiet than her usual caring and impulsive character, revealed another individual that stepped closer to the gathering, before stopping to fix it's gaze on the two ressurrected men. Johnny, she did not recognize, she had never met him. Ryu, she recognized from the time-travelling episodes, and her first reaction was a slight wince as Kaiser's rage-distorted features was echoed by Ryu's own. But this was the real Ryu, not some murderous remnant of him.
She reached out, out of curiosity, for remains of the soul embrace she had weaved around Kaiser, and found no trace of it in this part of him, as she had expected.
Realizing that she was merely standing and staring, Tamara blinked and cleared her throat. The sheer miracle of the two men's arising from the dead did not touch her; she had seen wonders to match it in her time at ASH.
Smiling politely, if slightly sadly, Tamara stepped forward and extended a hand towards Ryu and Johnny by turn.

"Welcome back to Anime High, Mr. Musashi; you have been sorerly missed. Hopefully we will get to keep you this time."

She was about to turn her attention to his companion, when she catched the lack of recognition in his features, and understood. She smiled slightly, the half smile that everyone knew her for. "My name is Tamara Oliveira; I arrived some three-four months ago, sir."

She turned her attention to Johnny Rodz and nodded politely, scanning his features and searching her memory. There was something familiar about his features, but the memory eluded her; she finally contented herself to a polite smile and decided that she liked him. He had an open, honest-appearing face, and while apperances could be deceptive, she trusted in her own feelings. This one harbored no ill will towards anyone.
"And to you as well; welcome to AHS."

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

Lucita had stopped shortly away from Tamara, eying the surroundings and the two new arrival, contemplating their identities and the consequences their return would most assuredly have on the school, and on the meta-community. She recognized the two names the moment she had heard them mentioned; these were two of the few metas that the yard actually had some consistent information about, and had passed on to her. one of them was most assuredly dead. The other believed dead. And here they were, back again.
"Somebody's having a field day with the laws of possibility and impossibility," she muttered quietly, eying the two almost irritatedly. "And a grand laugh, as well." Just when she thought she had everything under control, some new and wacky happenstance came in, breaking the carefully placed card house at it's foundation. This had to be the wackiest thing so far.
It did create an interesting possibility, and a dilemma. Ryu was the leader of Anime High; quite beyond her league, of course, and she had no trouble admitting it. He was older than her, better trained. He was a full-blooded meta, where she was at the heart of it a normal human, engineered to such a point that she might as well have been born with supernatural abilities, but still human. Her abilities would grow no further than her employers would allow them to.
Was he worth her full attention, at the cost of the remainer of the students? Both he and Johnny posed enough of a threat to warrent that, but then again, they were publicly known and her mission had been to identify and watch any new and -possible- threats to the human society. Not existing ones.
They were not her first priority, she decided finally, but it never did hurt to set up a precaution ...

Reaching up into her sleeve and clicking off one of the electronic devices placed ready there, Lucita started off into a short run, towards Ryu; one that broke off into a jump and a swift spin that ended up with her leg rushing forward in a kick at Ryu's head; a deadly dance that had been initiated without prior warning, and carried out with an astonishing speed and accuracy, and with a face as blank and expressionless as a rock carving.
She prepared herself for the inevitable blocking that she was sure Ryu would make, and the collision with the ground once he did. She never harbored the faintest illusion of a successful strike.

Ryu:"5 months?I can't believe I was gone so long....Liliana. I need to find Teo, he has my daughter."

The comment about dying before caused Ryu to sweat drop a grin nervously. He had died before and the story was kinda touchy with Johnny there. Johnny was listening somewhat and wanted to know what Ryu was going to say.

Ryu[^__^;;]:"Eh, I'll tell you about it later."

Then Tamara came over, offering a hand to both Ryu and Johnny. Ryu smiled and shook it, his grip strong and slightly painful. Johnny looked at the hand for a few moments before slapping it in a high-five manner. Johnny popped his neck a few times, contemplating his next move now that he was apparently alive.

Johnny:"Yeah, nice to meet you chica. I still need to find my damn coat and my weapons. Who has 'em?"

Ryu:"I think I gave them to Con, Johnny."

Johnny:"Con eh? Hmm, all right, at least I know they are in safe hands. Now do I look for Teo first or for my weapons? Shit, I hate dilemnas."

Before Ryu could respond with an idea, he sensed Lucita charging at him, going airborne. Turning to face her, Ryu sweatdropped as he faced his second attack in one day, just a few minutes after the last and only a few minutes after coming back to life.

Ryu[o__o;;]:"Damn, what'd I do to get everyone attacking me today?"

He waited for her to get a little closer before catching her by he extended foot. Placing a hand underneath the knee of her extended leg, Ryu had Lucita pretty much stuck in the pose of her flying kick. At least for a few moments he did, because as soon as he verified that he had a good grip, He slammed her down onto the ground. Ryu didn't want to seriously hurt her, so he didn't slam her too hard. He hoped it would at least knock the wind out of her and discourage any further attacks.

It wasn’t necessarily a subject to joke about but Diana found herself laughing anyway at Ryu’s response. A simple yes or no would have sufficed. Then started rambling about finding someone named Teo and his daughter. Unfortunately she didn’t know where either of those people were, let alone even know who Teo was to begin with. Her attention darted over to the girl whom approached, introducing herself as Tamara Oliveira and extending her hand to the two boys. ‘Mr. Musashi’ earned another light laugh, that had to be the cutest thing Diana had heard all week. All the while she was sizing Tamara up physically in the same manner she did everyone until her attention turned to the other girl.

She really couldn’t have asked for better entertainment really as she watched the inevitable happen as Ryu efficiently blocked the attack, sending the girl down. Courageous effort, but unfortunately it failed. However, something told Diana just by her pure observation of the girl that attack wasn’t meant to actually it work. It seemed like more a test than anything, but she could have just been reading too far in to it, chiding herself for letting old habits kick back in as they did. She had to remind herself that she was free of the spy games.

“Maybe it’s the magnetic personality?”

Giggling again she shook her head as she looked from him to the girl whom had attacked him, to Tamara, then to Johnny and back again. Fun as this all was, and as much as she wanted to chat, Diana felt it was time take her leave of them. They had just come back from the dead and it was apparent they had other things that needed to be attended to and she only had a few days before her trip home.

“Ryu, Johnny...” She nodded to each respectively as she said their names. “...welcome home. I hope that the return proves to be an easy one and you find the people you’re looking for. It was nice seeing the two of you, if not a bit shocking, but I’ve got to go now. Maybe I’ll see you around.” She shrugged slightly at the last part. “Until then, take care.”

With a curt nod and a casual wave she turned and made her way away from the group and back towards her dorm.

Tamara smiled with genuine warmth back; her features slightly tightened in pain as Ryu's huge hand closed around hers in a crushing grip; she shook her palm slightly in an attempt to wave off the pain as Ryu released and she proceeded to offering the aching hand to Johnny. He must have noticed something as he gave her merely a high-five; she immediately afterwards placed both hands behind her back, absently rubing her sore palm while watching the gathering.
However, her calm was interrupted, and azure eyes widened slightly in alarm, as she heard the girl's name mentioned, then she stepped forward and reached determinedly out for the older meta's wrist, intent on pausing him before he ran off to find his daughter, but she caught empty air as Ryu realized the incoming attack and moved to deflect it.

"Mr. Musashi, please wait; there is something about Lili that you need to ..."

Her voice died away as Ryu moved unexpectedly, and she turned just in time to see Lucita hit his block, and be thrown to the ground.

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

"Ugh ..."

The asian-appearing slender girl grimaced in pain as she hit the ground, opening two dazed-looking eyes that immediately focused again in concentration on Ryu. Her initial instinctive reaction to keep fighting was quickly suppressed, halting a second kick at Ryu's groin, and she instead moved a hand back to feel testingly on the back of her head. She felt nothing, not even a bruise; the hit hadn't been hard and her shoulderblades had taken off what impact damage had been dealt.
Aware of the bug hidden in her left sleeve, she reached her right hand out towards Ryu, silently asking him to help her up; at the same time signaling that she would fight no further.

"Quick reflexes, that's for sure ... did you hold back? Thank you for that, but I am not easily broken, Ryu ... if that -is- your name"

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

Tamara tilted her head slightly in puzzlement as she watched the girl on the ground, wondering curiously why she had attacked. She was not at least surprised at being repelled; in fact, it looked like she had expected it. So why had she bothered?
That was a worry for another day, however.

"I really don't think you should just rush right to Liliana, Mr. Musashi." Her voice was quiet and toneless as she continued. "Your daughter has changed."

Reaching down, Ryu grabbed onto Lucita's hand and helped her up onto his feet, giving her a warm smile. Now that the fight was over, there was no reason why not to be friendly. Johnny smirked before turning his attention to Diana for a moment, giving her a nod, letting her know that he heard her.

Ryu[^__^;;]:"There we go."

After helping Lucita onto her feet, Ryu placed his hands behind his head, locking his fingers together, a grin on his face. Johnny still had a smirk on his face, his arms crossed over his chest. His gaze shifted from Ryu and Lucita over to Tamara. She seemed to know something, but whatever.

Johnny:"Heh, of course he held back. If he hadn't you would've been a bloody smear on the ground."

Now it was Ryu's turn to look at Tamara. He was curious as to why he shouldn't go see his little girl. Ryu thought that Lili would be thrilled to see him again, so what was the problem? A confused look appeared on Ryu's face as he spoke.

Ryu:"Huh? I don't under stand, why can't I see Lili? What happened to her!?!"

Lucita smiled fainting and tilted her head towards Johnny, acknowledging the truth in his statement, then started up on her feet with Ryu's help with a feighed slow grace; reaching out for his arm with her second hand as well, as if she needed the extra pull. Releasing again once she was nearly up, her hand darted in and out of his sleeve, too quickly to e notice, taking great pains not to touch his skin or otherwise alarm him. The electronic sender slipped easily out of her sleeve, into her palm, and the next moment she had clicked it onto his own sleeve, imbedded in the fabric with tiny metal strings that would not accidentally fall off.
Her hand was out and away the moment she was steadied, and released Ryu immediately with a grateful nod, and another smile that this time was slightly self-satisfied.

"Gracias."

She started dusting herself off to presume to be occupied with herself, listening absently to whatever the little blue-eyed empath was babbling about.

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

Tamara's eyes grew soft with sympathy as she registered his distress, shaking her head and placing a hand out to put soothingly on his arm; memories of past happenings running through her mind, of Liliana's abduction, and of her return - much, much older, and deeeply traumatized and scarred, than when she had disappeared.

"Liliana believed you to be dead, Mr. Musashi; everyone did. She was learning to cope with that; Teo is the best surrogate father you can imagine, and he helped her. But .. and I don't know exactly who, or why; Teo will probably know .. somebody kidnapped your little girl, and in the time she was away from AHS, it appears to have been many, many years in whereever she was placed. She was told things, about herself, and about you, that she finally grew to believe, and that's made her a very hard young lady on many ways. She may think that she hates you. It may have faded to such a point that she can see through it, and realizes how much she loves you again, but I strongly urge you to talk with Teo alone before seeing Liliana. I cannot predict how she would react."

Normally, Ryu would've noticed something Lucita was doing, however Ryu's attention was drawn away from her, so he didn't notice. Johnny however was paying attention and noticed Lucita slip something up Ryu's sleave, out of the corner of his eye. However, Johnny owed Ryu nothing, so he wasn't going to tell him anything.

All this news about Liliana possibly hating him was a lot to take in. It did hurt inside, but like Ryu always did when he was hurting, Ryu put on a grin and took on a joking manner. He didn't have time to hurt.

Ryu:"Heh, so it's another person who hates me. That's like, what? Six? So where's Teo?"

Johnny:"Yeah, no one has answered that for me. Where's mi hermano minor? Has he been ok since I've been gone?"

This was something Johnny really wanted to know. He felt guilty about leaving Teo like that, not even getting to say goodbye to him. If anything had happened to Teo while he was gone, Johnny would feel it was his fault, seeing how he was supposed to be Teo's bodyguard.

"Damn it, Teo, not you too! I'm paranoid enough for the both of us, remember?"

Teo sat in the window sill, brooding.

Anyone who saw, was seeing the impossible. Winter, trying to get Teo out of a blue funk, instead of the other way around.

That he had to do it from the other side of the room , didn't make it easier on either of them...especially as the best way to help, was the one thing Winter could not do. Touch him. The threat of Teo's uncontrolled soulfire was that great.

Winter never slept, and had plenty of time to worry about nearly everything. The return of Morgana, which he can begun to obsess over, to the extent that he startled at anything that even remotely reminded him of the queen. The well-being of those he trained and guarded, (and loved, came the niggling thought at the back of his mind, which oddly, increased and eased his anxiety at once); all those to whom he would be a threat, when she returned...

But what worried him most, was Teo's growing tendency to act like him. For all that Teo wouldn't show it, he had become shy about being approached, or even addressed without warning. He ignored mindspeech, barriered against even projected emotion when he could barrier at all. It was subtle, but Winter caught the hesitation, the carefully hidden annoyance and resulting embarrassment, when anything spoiled his mental quiet. He suspected Cyra felt it too, and Keo worst of all...

Even his behavior was subtly changed. He was still as kind, as willing to help, but it now took effort. it was not as instinctive and eager as before.

Teo wasn't reaching out, was becoming as reclusive as Winter had been. Winter found himself missing the mental feathertouch that told him Teo was scanning. That Winter scanned for both of them, was enough warning of danger, but the near constant awareness of others' emotions had been a source of joy for his gentle brother, one that he now denied himself.

And he was quiet, far more than he had been. When he wasn't wandering in Seishou's Realm, silent whether he was alone or with others, he was sitting, reading, or listening to quiet music. Listening, not playing it, as he used to.

Winter watched him closely. Caleb should have cured him of Kaie's near destruction of him. Not to mention what Franchise had done. His body well, his mind whole, and yet...

The fear that he could lose that all again, was clear. He had lost more than he had now, more than Winter had ever had. Lost people, loved ones...

It was a fear Winter knew well, but it bothered him to see Teo caught in it. Proof, that he and Teo were more alike than either had wanted to acknowledge, once.

Teo's eyes widened. His voice, vanishingly low. Looking, longing yet afraid, in the direction of the Courtyard, and the Memorial he loved.

"He's thinking of me."

From the sound of it, Teo must have meant Kaie.

"Bu, he cant be, he's dead."

That didn't make sense. Kaie was dead, he was a vampire. It didn't stop him from thinking about Teo...about torturing him, or rather, sending Sin to plague him...

"A trap, it's a trap, They want me there, my brother, and...her...

Winter, curious, widened his scan to the courtyard, following Teo's near panicked thought. It took him a moment to get over the shock.

"It's real Teo. Scan for yourself. He, they, are there..."

"No!"

He wanted it so badly, Kaie and Sin had to know that. Teo was sure they had fooled his mind again.

"I have to go - "

"Back to the Realm? You can't hide there forever, Teo. Then they have won. Why kidnap you again, when you jail yourself?"

Teo hesitated. He had never been a coward. Had rather been the opposite, the grief of any who bodyguarded him.

"Very well. You had better leave first, but I promise to follow." The voice was dry, almost cold.

"Which of us is Winter, again?" Winter morphed into Teo-form, to make his point, and disappeared.

Teo sighed. He almost stayed, but had made a promise. Leaned from the window sill, and let himself fall away from the building, wings like warm candleflames springing from his shoulders.

It was true! The closer he came, the stronger the sense. They were just the same as they always had been. Not truly surprised at the one, he was utterly blown away by the other. He landed, skidding to a stop some several feet away, his wings fading.

He couldn't look at the other yet, heart aching in disbelieving joy. But there was nothing in the world but these two, and the desire of a broken brother's heart would have to wait, for one last duty.

He knelt before Ryu, eyes downcast. "Forgive me, Ryu, for failing in the only request you ever made of me...Your daughter was taken from me, I could not prevent it..."

Seeing Teo kneal like that caught both Ryu and Johnny off guard, evident by the look on their faces. Before Johnny could say anything, Ryu squatted down so he could be close to eye level with the much shorter Teo. Ryu was feeling a lot of different emotions right now, confusion, curiousity, and even a little bit of fear. However on the outside he had an understanding smile on his face.

Ryu:"Ok, Teo, please explain what happened. Where's Lili? Is she ok?"

Seeing Teo caused a small smile to appear on his face as he wanted to give the little guy a hug. His nerves were satisfied slightly as Teo didn't appear to be injured. He was still alive and in one-piece. However, the rest of the stuff going on was so boring for Johnny. Why the hell should he care about Ryu's kid? He hated Ryu and odds are he'd kill Ryu. However, Johnny knew that when he did it, Ryu wouldn't be coming back. Patting himself down, Johnny was hoping he had a cigarette or a flask of sake or something, but apparently all those things were in his coat.

Ryucrouched down, and spoke gently. Teo was not sure he3 could bear what might be behind that understanding smile, and almost didn't look. He was surprised when he did, to not find the anger he felt he deserved...he lifted black eyes full of remorse to the school's hero. These would be the hardest words he had ever spoken.

"She is alive...and well, considering...but, she is no longer a child...is near as old as you now..." A long breath. A day he had relived, over and over.

"In the last big snow of winter, we were playing....Two came, that none of us could read...uneasy, we gathered the children close. We were ready, for anything except what happened. Between one breath and another, she was simply...gone. As if time had stopped! And the two with her."

"We searched, Ryu! Eveywhere...Winter was tireless, he drove the ravens through the worlds. Then, she was there again, as suddenly as gone...a few weeks for us...eleven years for her."

"She lives in one of the new dorm buildings, Seiryuu House, where Xandir watches over her. She is...she is there now....She says she hates you...but buried deep, a grief, that I could never ease...she wears your trenchcoat, like the precious thing it is...."

He remained dry-eyed, but trembled, remembering so clearly.

Ryu had no idea how to respond. Apparently his daughter was now just a few years younger than him. It sounded so implausible and impossible, but then again, this was AHS. He stood back up to his full height, his eyes slightly shadowed by his hair.

Ryu:"I see...."

He began scanning for Lili's ki before realizing why he couldn't find it before. He had been scanning for a much smaller and less powerful source of ki. If Lili was truely close to his age, she'd have to be much more powerful than when she was a slittle girl. So he began scanning for larger kis. He was quite surprised to find that several people had upped their game and were now a bit stronger than before. Then he found her, on the mountains.

Ryu:"There she is....She's gotten strong."

That's when Ryu did something unexpected. He started grinning. Johnny lifted an eyebrow as he was expecting sadness and depression from Ryu, not that stupid ass grin he always had on his face. Ryu had a plan or knew something that Teo and himself didn't. After running a hand through his hair, he began walking off, moving towards the forest.

Ryu:"Lili knows I'm back, her ki sensing ability is probably much more advanced than my own, so she probably sensed my presense as soon as I returned. If she hates me, then she'll eventually come to fight me. So, I better get back into fighting shape."

He then paused and gave a little wink towards both Teo and Johnny.

Ryu:"Besides, these kids are probably trying to snatch my title away from me and I can't have that. Plus, you two probably have much to discuss, so don't let me get in the way."

Ryu then continued walking, busy plotting his next move. Johnny patted himself down again, finally finding something useful. A pair of sunglasses. With a wide grin, he slipped them onto his face.

Johnny:"There we go, now I'm feeling 1000% guapo."

"Ki sensing? Title holding...Seran have you ever heard so much bullshit in one sentance?" Makura moved slowly the shotgun resting on her shoulder bouncing only slightly as she moved towards the raven-haired girl she had befriended.

"Once, but that was when I found an old copy of Johnny's old show." Seran backed away from the cigarette smell the better part of her mind taking over, she holstered the weapons thoughtlessly before patting Makura on the back. Whatever Ryu said it sounded like hyped up bullshit now adays so the girls paid it no heed. There was something else there in the courtyard that made the pair's skin crawl, that made them feel sick to the stomach, that smell...that feeling of somewhat goodness, that holiness that was Teo. Seran was nervous and tapped her fingers on the black crafted handle of the guns she carried, there was no scenerio that could appear in the girl's mind where a priest around was a good thing. Makura just glared, if she was an animal her teeth would be barred and she would be growling ready to bite and tear him apart.

"By the way those to carry on you would think they were warm for each other's form, what he said two words to me then spent ten minutes asking 'where's Teo where's Teo' yeah thats not really a great thing to say around women folk." So what else was there to say? Makura was trying anyway she could to get on the little priest's annoyed list.

"Awwe dont talk like that Kura, you know priests arent allowed to be with men, its just Johnny lusting besides if he was serious he might be able to speak more then two words of Spanish."

Adrienne slowly left the dorms of the Suzaku house and was beginning to go for her daily walk. The sun was shinning in her mind as her eyes were closed; she didn't care if she bumped into someone; she was plucky and happy as of lately. To top things off she was hungry as well, which in turn made her rather hyper. It had been not that long since her relaxing time after Teo's near brush with what she thought would have been death. AHS was beginning to grow on her, but not in the literal way and barely in the metaphorical way. She was happy in the way things were, but then again she was always out of the loop.

She had somehow stumbled near the forest and as soon as she had opened her eyes a boy appeared. Smiling she waved politely and continued on her walk, but then her glare fixed onto him as she began to wait. His actions; if he had even done anything weren't noticable to the half-aware kitsune. Now with a bit of anger she flipped the poor student the bird and continued walking; without a response still she turn around and stopped.

"Jerk! Your hair sucks...like your mama!"

It was true that Adrienne was probaly the last person who should be attempting to insult someone without seeming like an ass; her insulting skills were about that of an inner-city 8 year old from Kansas. Sighing she turned back around and headed towards the courtyard like she had intended to. With her eyes open now, she walked shiftly to make up for the lost time she had gained while screwing around. She had began to hum to herself as her cares began to disappear again. Spreading her arms out wide she began to play around happily; to even younger then she was. Spinning around and dancing across the courtyard something caught her eyes; could it be, Teo and a group of people. Her mind began to race of what could be happening now, maybe he had begun to die..again. Quickly, but quietly she walked to where she was within ear shot of them and sat down. She only intended to listen and not to intrude on them.

Ooh, someone had insulted Johnny. It was barely audible to Johnny, but he heard it. He didn't really give a damn about what was said about Ryu because it was well documented that Johnny did not like Ryu. However, being insulted didn't draw the result they were hoping for. No, in fact it drew the opposite reaction, causing an evil grin to spread across his face. Because, the one thing Johnny liked more than plotting against people was being mean.

Johnny:"Sounds like someone missed me. Heh, why should I worry about you? You're a big girl, can't you take care of yourself? Or do you need your new life partner to stick tampons up your bleeding fuckhole? Heh, besides Makura, aren't you late to your meeting with the Sailor Scouts? I heard that some evil queen bitch was trying to take over the world so why don't you go ahead and turn into Sailor Dumb Bitch or whatever and fuck off, mmk?"

The grin on Johnny's face soon shrunk into a cocky smirk. He wasn't done yet, he still had some stuff to say and a few insults to throw out.

Johnny:"Who is this other girl anyways and how much did you pay for her? I mean, it's pretty damn obvious you found her on a street corner somewhere. Were you so desperate for some loving that you had to pay for it? Yeah, your pussy smells kinda funny, why don't you think I ever went down on you? But it's not foul enough to turn off every guy on the campus is it? You might wanna bring out the ol' douche."

Johnny was feeling good after venting like that. He hadn't gotten to lay into someone like that for a while. He was almost done now. Just a little more, but the general gist of what Johnny was saying was clear. Their relationship was over. With a new life it was time to find a new woman to fuck and possibly love.

Johnny:"You'll probably have something to say in response, but I don't give a shit. So yeah, you and the Street Corner Wonder can go eat each other out now for all I care. Just go away."
