Tekka glanced up at the formidable building, school had seemed scary as a kid, and now seemed twice as terrifying. The blond thief shuddered slightly. They were here to take on Aiden, who was more than likely in the building at that very moment. She glanced around at her comrades and Jack gave her a comforting smile and a steadying hand on her shoulder. She nodded in thanks, understanding the need to be quiet.
Jack himself wasn't feeling too hot either, considering what had happened last time he had gone up against the Ookami war-machine he was pretty sure that was alright. He was also more than a little displeased by the fact that he was actually carrying a gun, it had been his own decision though. Still, the thought of shooting his own brother, who had practically raised him, sent a wave of... Disgust? Fear? Shame? Something through his body and he knew he didn't like it. Still, he had to keep Hotaru safe. He had to.
The Ookami these thoughts were directed towards was unaware of what was happening just outside his building as he made his way through the classrooms and trying to get to the roof. It wouldn't calm him down tonight, he knew that, but it was the only place he could go with the arena hosting a tournament that evening. There was a trail of broken glass and smashed objects in his wake, and if someone was tracking him they'd have no trouble finding him. He thought someone might be following him actually, with the way he had left the headquarters in such a rush he must have attracted some sort of attention. Great. Wonderful.

Hotaru stood, not too sure what to think of the situation. She was ready, as ready as she could be at least. She had gone through her training with Eva, the blond standing behind her with a cold yet protective look on her face. She had even got a refresher on using guns, she thought while putting a hand over the one strapped to her side. The Tora was ready to put this all behind her. She had had enough of running from her problems or handling them the wrong way, she was going to end this. Right here, right now. She didn't tell Matsuda about the showdown that would take place, he would just worry and come with them, and possibly ruin the whole thing. Okay, that wasn't the real reason. Truthfully, she didn't want him getting hurt.
Eva stood behind her boss, looking up at the building with an emotionless expression. She had already told herself before, it didn't how matter if she was attracted to Aiden even the slightest bit, if he was out to get Hotaru, he was in for it. She'd be ready to do just about anything to protect her boss, being the only loyal follower the girl had left, and honestly, she wouldn't hesitate to kill the guy if the situation called for it. She was just that cold of a person.

Kage walked beside Tekka, on the opposite side from Jack, one hand occupied with one of the big revolvers, and the other holding the hand of his girlfriend. It probably wouldn't be quite as comforting to the little blonde as it would have been if the giant wasn't already holding his gun, but that's what you had to do when a battle was approaching. He had originally been tipped off by a call from Tekka, who carried a message from Jack about Aiden leaving the Ookami headquarters in quite the hurry. According to the middle King sibling's intel, such a rush would be most likely directed toward the school, so that's where they were headed. Kage had never even been to school before. He had been about to start when his parents disappeared, and from there, his life had been in the streets. --- Jeremiah poked his head out from behind a nearby shrubbery, making sure he still had an eye on Kyle and his pals. The older Ookami was originally intending to stalk the big brute who had stormed out of the headquarters in what looked like a fit of rage, but when he'd caught sight of his old buddy Kyle, ensuring his safety had been Jeremiah's first priority. It looked they all were off to something dangerous, and the boyish man wasn't the type of person to let his friends (or the friends of his friends) get hurt. However, it wasn't time to meet up with Kyle. Jeremiah wanted to reunite with both members of his group simultaneously, and he hadn't yet made a connection with Joshua. |

Xion had been sitting in the tree when the gang of people had arrived.She raised a eyebrow and hid so the trees would cover her.There were six of them in total she counted.She would have used the scythe but the kunais were better for this job ... a main rule of assasination was not to be seen.She held in a firm grin knowing who she'd throw it at but waited for the opportune moment

Tekka tightened her grip on Kage's hand, glad for the anchor. Her own gun was at the ready, the safety on so she didn't accidentally shoot before she needed to and kill off one of her legs. Swallowing thickly she put on her brave face, "Standing around ain't gonna solve anything." She said, Jack giving her a nod before she began moving into the building. Jack walking right by her side as Tekka tugged along Kage.
As the procession made its way into the building Aiden made his way onto the second floor. Now all that was separating him from his beloved rooftop was one final flight of stairs. The evening air wouldn't help much, but if Xion or Madoka came across him he'd rather he didn't rip their heads off.

Hotaru unknowingly took Jack's hand as they walked forward, just then realizing how nervous she really was. Darn it, she was suppose to be fearless! Eva placed a hand on her shoulder for a moment before letting it go, following after the four in front of her.
Madoka had been on the roof of the school for a while that day, she had a feeling she should be there for some odd reason. Aqua Spirit appeared beside her; she had been showing up a lot lately, ever since she had her little accident at headquarters. Maybe it was her mother trying to reach out to her or something? Who knew, but Madoka enjoyed the company, especially now. Something told her that today wouldn't be the best of days for her...

Kage let himself be dragged along by Tekka, resisting the urge to let a broad, proud grin spread on his face. Granted, the smallest of the present Tora bunch had never (while Kage was around, anyway) been the type to freeze up out of fright, but the fact that she had managed not to do it when it clearly was about to happen this time was definitely admirable. --- Jeremiah looked up when he heard the faintest rustling in a nearby tree, and just managed to catch a glimpse of something that was probably not a bird or a squirrel. The Ookami made a mental note to keep an eye on that tree until that something made its move. Whatever it was, it was surely after his friends. --- Locke landed without a sound near the back door of the old school. It had been forever since she graduated, and quite frankly, the albino would have been glad to never see (or enter) this wretched place again. However, since her encounter with Mina, Locke had been rather excited with her nighttime outings. It gave her some sort of dilapidated hope that she would run into a pretty girl every time she went out to train under the pale light of the moon. On this particular occasion, the Briton had spotted none other than her favorite sparring mate, Aiden, rushing through town, and had thus tailed him. He looked mad, and if that was the case, then Locke could almost definitely count on a good fight to happen. |

Xion's mouth hung open ... it was a fucking hit squad.She jumped down and noticed the small brown haired ookami.She ran over "Madoka" she called out, stopping infront of her and pressing 3 of the knives into her hand "I dunno whats going on but I don't want you getting hurt hun" she muttered before looking over at the newcomer.
It was in a instant the two pieces of metal in her pocket became the scythe that she loved "Who are you and what do you want?" she said looking down at the albino

It seemed in her absence, the wars of the old days had changed. Primarily, a territory dispute between 3 warring clans, formerly settled by violence and such, it had recently been reduced to a "Gentlemen's Game". While skill and strategy normally hailed supreme, a subject our young female, Rex Coelestis, had mastered countless times, the art of killing and inflicting harm was something she wasn't quite used to.
A doctor by trade, her Hippocratic Oath told her all she needed to do. First Do No Harm.
As she casually strode the streets, young Rex spotted a group of those of her clan, identified by a single difficult to remove bracelet upon their wrists. However, they seemed rather well armed.
A raise of Rex's eyebrows as she followed the group, at a distance. She could tell there was trouble brewing. Though she was unarmed, nothing but a duel disk and her wits, she didn't feel particularly in danger.
A few moments of tension before Rex spoke up. "So... what are we doing?"

By this point, the group was inside the large school hallway and sounds were a bit echo-y. Tekka had been trying to stand tall and stay strong, but at the sudden voice found herself whirling around to face the source, her gun finding its way to her hand almost unbidden. She managed to control herself just in time to NOT shoot the once-forgotten face of Rex and land herself in a whole mess of trouble.
Jack turned as well, unwillingly letting Hotaru go for the moment. A Tora (high up from how Tekka looked at him) seemed to have snuck up on them. "Who are you and what are you doing here?" He asked, now more aware than ever that he was the only Ookami of their force.
----------
Aiden had finally made it to the roof, the door slamming open as he breathed in the late-summer air. As he expected it didn't really help all that much, and he wasn't really in the right mindset to go through some training. A childish part of his mind, the part that realized he was slowly but surely going insane wanted to scream or cry or ask for help from SOMEONE, but the rest of the man's mind crushed it.

Rex raised a brow but seemed unnaturally calm at having a gun aimed at her. "Hey Tekka. Nice to see you again." She stated nonchalantly, running a hand through her bangs before letting them fall haphazardly, not realizing at the moment that it was 'allegedly' Rex's sister, Lauren, that Tekka had met, not Rex.
However, it seemed their reunion was cut rather short, a member of the green clan, the Ookami, had interrupted.
"Excuse me Mr... Ookami Clan, but I could ask the same questions." A lighthearted chuckle from the paranoid young lady. "In fact I believe I already had." A cheeky smirk, before depositing her hands in her pockets.
"Honestly, the new recruits don't know much about their superior officers, do they?" she spoke to Tekka, a casual smirk decorating her pretty face.
She then turned back to Jack. "You may call me Rex Coelestis. Pronounced Che-leh-stees. Coelestis." She nodded, agreeing with herself.
"I'm just passing through. Saw a couple people from my clan and wondered what they were up to. So, once again... what are we up to?"
A part of her could tell she'd not like this Jack fellow, but she'd at least enjoy hassling him.

Hotaru and Eva turned around to see Rex, both tilting their heads slightly. They hadn't met this person before. Eva looked over at her boss, Hotaru simply shaking her head in response to whatever silent conversation the two were having. Hotaru looked back at Rex, deciding to settle for a glare. "What's going on here is a personal matter and is none of your concern, I don't care if you're a superior or not." she told her, clearly on edge as it was. Any added frustration to it all wasn't really good for her. Eva sensed this and decided to step in before Hotaru cracked. "Look, like Boss said, it's none of your business, so just run along if you don't mind." she said in a calm tone. ~~~ Madoka blinked when Xion suddenly appeared and handed her the knives. She didn't know how to use these. She looked at her oddly before hearing the door slam open behind her. It was Aiden, he looked.... he looked like he was going crazy, if Madoka had to explain it to someone. She instantly jumped up, Aqua Spirit following her as she rushed over to Aiden. "Ai-ai...?" she asked, a little uncertain on if she should move any further of not. |

The brown haired young lady seemed unfrazzled by Hotaru's mean spirited glare. She was used to getting dirty looks and being looked down upon as a child, but that was a story for another day.
"Ladies, ladies, why the sudden hostility? We're all clan-mates here..." Rex tossed a glance at Jack, the Ookami who had spoken before. "That is, except for boss here."
She knew how to turn on the charm, when she needed it. She also knew how to continually infuriate, if she wanted it.
"I was merely curious as to the goings on within my clan. If you'd be so kind to just explain what were occurring, I'd be more then happy to be on my merry way." A smug smile upon Rex's face, as she awaited to here what they'd say... or if they'd shoot her.

Kage whirled around just as Tekka had, his expression going from serious to merely quizzical in seconds. He regarded the stranger with a kind of amused contempt.
"Listen, sir... or ma'am, I'm not really all that sure," the giant put in. "Anyway, if you're gonna bug us like this, you're not gonna get an answer, so you might as well just make like a tree and get the fuck outta here. Any further questions?" It wasn't an intimidating person, whatever gender it was, so Kage was really only a bit irritated and more or less amused.

Xion was growing exceedingly annoyed with the number of people coming into the building. She growled before shoving Aiden out of the way and making her way down the stairs.She stopped by the drama room and grabbed a hat ... she wanted to look the part.
She made her way to the top of the stairs and waited ... scythe resting by her side "So what they gonna do shoot me" she muttered lighting a cigarette "One for the road"
