[Sarai’s Dorm]

Connor could only sigh deeply. He should be overjoyed to hear what a positive influence he had on Sarai, how happy she was to be with him – it all matched how he felt when he was with her. Yet the warmth that should be burning in his chest from those words was instead bitter and cold at the prospect of Genius once more trying to keep them apart.

He smiled to Sarai, trying to look confident and sure that things were going to work out. Yet he didn’t know what he could do. Genius was determined and crazy, and worse yet he was Sarai’s father. It wasn’t like they had a lot of options…

“Sarai, you’re my everything. I didn’t have many friends before I met you and I don’t know where I’d be without you… I’m not going to let anything come between us.”

He had to keep that promise, now he just had to figure out how.

[Shinigami’s Office]

The room suddenly became much darker. Everything beyond the small desk where Shinigami and Genius sat was bathed in an eerie blackness from which no light escaped. Shinigami’s eyes narrowed slightly and burned a bright red.

“I have attempted to be calm and courteous given what transpired, but I will not allow the insinuation that I would ever harm my students. I am Death. I cannot be intimidated, I cannot be controlled, and the only people I ever harm are those I fully intend to. Remember to who and to what you are speaking to.”

The darkness suddenly vanished and once more Shinigami’s face was a happy, smiling skull.

“You are of course free to make whatever decision regarding your daughter’s education you feel you have to; but know this – nowhere in Makai is safer than Kubo Academy. My teachers are some of the finest who have ever existed, our upperclassmen are dependable and strong, and this school is under my personal protection. Additional security is being put in place now… but if there is something out there that could be a danger here, it can be a danger anywhere.”

[Kubo Roof]

“I don’t think that would work.” Lance said, shaking his head a bit. He looked over at Chloe behind him as she smiled and he tried to smile back, but it was difficult with the situation.

“… I mostly remember fire. It’s like they were made of fire come to life…”

[The Forest]

“I don’t know,” Josh shook his head. He did not like this one bit… just what in Makai was this creature, and why was it so obsessed with them?

“Sophie we need to get back to the school.” Josh whispered. “You need to run as fast as you can and I’ll follow you.”

[Sarai’s Dorm]

Sarai was silent against Connor for a moment before she finally looked up at him. "I know there isn't a ton we can do if my dad decides to make me go home, but in the meantime I guess we should enjoy the time we have together...You know, j-just in case"

The girl took a small breath, gathering up her nerve, and pushing him against the headboard to kiss him-

Unfortunately Sarai did this with a bit too much vigor and probably smacked him against it. Ouch.

[Shinigami’s Office]

The room went dark and suddenly Shinigami-Sama was speaking very VERY seriously about the matters of safety at the school. While Genius tried to look unwavered he couldn't help but to flinch. The literal personification of death was right in front of him and there really wasn't much stopping him from blasting him a mile away.

"You are of course free to make whatever decision regarding your daughter’s education you feel you have to; but know this – nowhere in Makai is safer than Kubo Academy. My teachers are some of the finest who have ever existed, our upperclassmen are dependable and strong, and this school is under my personal protection. Additional security is being put in place now… but if there is something out there that could be a danger here, it can be a danger anywhere.”

Genius stood, fixing his hat and placing his fedora back on his head. He gave a small cough and a nod. "I still regard you as one of the most skilled beings in the universe, but one black blood incident is enough to make me worry about my Sarai's future here at this school. Trust me you don't want to see her as some evil possessed freak....So as of now she will be taken home-

And probably stuffed in a lamp until it's safe.

"Thank you for your time headmaster. And good luck with all the trouble."

[Kubo Roof]

"Fire....Coming to life...." Chloe repeated, thinking about it. "Well that's somewhere to start isn't it? I mean it's not much....But i've worked with less when getting the dirt on the lastest school gossip!"

Chloe pulled out a pen and, having no paper handy, scribbled Lance's recollection on her palm.

[The Forest]

Sophie nodded, still moving as fast as her short legs could carry her. She kept looking back at her brother though....She wanted to make sure he was still there!

"You better not lose me in all of these woods!" she exclaimed, out of breath but doing what her brother told her and running.

[Sarai’s Dorm]

Connor blinked in surprise when Sarai spoke up, and it was only in that moment that he realized he and Sarai were alone together on her BED. Before he could even blush at that idea, she pushed him backwards –

And he slammed his head on the headboard and let out a little yelp and instinctively started rubbing his now aching cranium.

“I-I’m okay.” He winced.

[Shinigami’s Office]

“Very well, though you may have to convince the young lady currently in possession of your daughter’s lamp. Correct me if I’m wrong, but separating a Genie from their Master is no small task.”

Shinigami spoke very calmly as he organized the papers on his desk. The door suddenly reappeared beside Genius, and Shinigami’s hollow eye holes focused down on his paperwork.

“Good day.”

[Kubo Roof]

“This isn’t school gossip Chloe.” Lance groaned, leaning back and shaking his head. “These are… things! Weird creatures that can kill like nothing I’ve ever seen since…”

He sighed. “Listen, I appreciate your help, but… it might be better to just drop this. I’ve looked, and… and even if we found them… I’m in no shape to do anything about it.”

[The Forest]

“Just keep – AGH!”

Joshua’s words were cut short as he groaned aloud. The faceless student had pounced on him and knocked him to the ground, and now it was punching the back of his head into the dirt. Josh was trying to get up, to speak a spell or waterbender – but the creature kept his arms down and his face in the ground!

[Sarai’s Dorm]

Sarai's eyes widened as she jumpped up, face bright red. "O-Oh my gosh! C-Connor i'm so sorry!"

The boy seemed okay, but she was now traumatized into thinking she gave him brain damage.

"T-That was stupid...I shouldn't have-i'm such an idiot"

[Shinigami’s Office]

“Very well, though you may have to convince the young lady currently in possession of your daughter’s lamp. Correct me if I’m wrong, but separating a Genie from their Master is no small task.”

Genius' eyes widened as he whipped around, glaring at Shinigami. "Who told you!?"

Duh Shinigami-Sama knows EVERYTHING.

"Dammit was it that Rumi girl!? I knew it was a stupid idea to entrust her with the lamp! Im going to banish her into another dimension!"

[Kubo Roof]

"Who says you're in no shape. The only thing preventing you from kicking ass is yourself"

Easy to say coming from a girl with super-strength.

"I happen to think you're very strong, or at least you're smart enough to out -wit your enemies. If they have lots of magic, have even more magic water right?"

I'm pretty sure Chloe isn't taking this quite as seriously as Lance.

[The Forest]

"JOSH" Sophie screamed, watching as her brother was slammed into the ground. She knew he had told her to keep running, but she would never leave him behind.

"LEAVE MY BROTHER ALONE!" Sophie exclaimed, wind whipping around her as she brought her hands up. Suddenly the water from various plants around her was being sucked dry, leaving the blobs of liquid in her hands. The liquid then turned into VERY sharp spikes of ice which she threw at her brother's attacker.

[Sarai’s Dorm]

Connor quickly jumped up, immediately trying to calm Sarai down. He smiled to her to try to show he was okay – and tried his best not to show that his head was still hurting slightly.

“No you aren’t.” Connor replied, and he suddenly pulled her close and kissed her softly. When he pulled away, he offered another smile to her. “I’m fine… next time let’s just not forget the pillow.”

[Shinigami’s Office]

“If you attempt to harm one of my students I shall take your soul.” Once more the office had become a sea of blackness, and Shinigami’s eyes burnt bright in the darkness as he rose from his desk and seemed to be several feet taller than he normally was, so that he towered over Genius.

“I have told you before, I shall allow no harm to come to my students. You are no exception to that.” Shinigami said simply, and slowly the darkness abated and he returned to his normal size. “No one told me a thing. I knew what you and your daughter were from the moment you stepped foot in my school. I was there when the first Genie came into existence. Who do you think it is that made it a rule that you cannot resurrect the dead?”

Shinigami shook his head slowly. “Never threaten one of my students again. Whatever business you have with Miss. Testarossa regarding your daughter is your own, but remember that every one of my students – your daughter, Miss. Testarossa, Mr. Jackson and all the rest – are under my protection.”

[Kubo Roof]

“They slaughtered my entire village, Chloe.” Lance said quietly, but his voice cracked a bit as he spoke. “Do you know how many actual graduated Reapers lived there? I’m still a student. I’m still learning… I can’t go fight something like – whatever they were – now.”

[The Forest]

The razorp-sharp spikes of ice ripped through the faceless student as it fell backwards to the ground. The already dirty and tattered uniform now had new holes in it – and so did the body of whatever the creature was.

A strange substance oozed out from the holes, but it wasn’t blood. It was much thinner and runnier and a bright green color; and very quickly it turned into wisps of smoke and floated up away from the body.

Josh quickly scrambled away from it, breathing heavy and wiping dirt away from his face. “W-W-What the hell was that thing!?”

[Sarai’s Dorm]

"I’m fine… next time let’s just not forget the pillow.”

Well that's good...At least he was interested in a next time- oh geez....She wasn't sure if she was bold enough to try that again.

"O-Okay" Sarai said with a nod "So....It's okay if I try that again without banging your head against a w-wall?"

[Shinigami’s Office]

Once again Genius felt a chill come over him and his stance wavered a tiny bit in the presence of a very annoyed Shinigami-Sama. Genius knew what he said was a no-no, but he was still livid about it.

"Understood" he said stoically, turning on his heel and leaving the office without another word.

[Kubo Roof]

"Then when miho? When are you gonna stand up two the things that killed everyone you knew!? Or are you just gonna sit around scared for the rest of your life and never face you fears! Man up miho!"

Chloe sounded like she had a death-wish...Or just no real sense of fear. Probably both.

"I know you Lance, you're no coward. What would it take for you to want to take on those things?! What else would they have to take from you!"

[The Forest]

The second Josh was free and catching his breath Sophie crashed into him in a tight hug. She burried her head against his torso for a moment, not wanting to let go.

She may have been brash, loud and overly brave but she was still a kid who absolutely adored her brother- even if he did bug her sometimes.

Sophie then moved back....Before punching her brother's arm as hard as she could (granted she has tiny fists and isnt that strong) "Don't you almost get killed by a weird zombie student monster again! You almost gave me a heart attack you dummy!"

[Sarai’s Dorm]

Normally, Connor could just make the pain go away with a brief burst of his healing, but he was afraid that if Sarai saw him use that she might think it was a lot worse than it really was, and feel even worse.

Yet even without his mystical remedy he soon forgot about the pain when she mentioned trying again. He was a little surprised – having expected the injury to kill the mood, but he just offered a smile.

“O-of course!”

[Shinigami’s Office]

As soon as Genius passed beyond the threshold of the door, it shut behind him and vanished. The office was once more inaccessible to everyone – leaving the very glum incarnation of Death to his silence.

Another angry parent taking their student home. It was something he had seen many times today – and it disturbed him. Not just because it reflected his failure to keep the school safe, but because of the greater danger.

Without Kubo, would the world sink back into the chaos and disharmony that had existed before? Without professional trained Reapers, just how bad would things get?

[Kibo Roof]

“I plan on facing them Chloe! Why do you think I spend all my time studying? I’m trying to graduate so I’ll be a full-fledged Reaper and have the power to actually fight against them!” Lance groaned in frustration.

“I don’t want them to take anything else from me or anyone… that’s why I don’t want your help in this.” Lance shook his head. “Nobody else needs to get hurt because of me.”

[The Forest]

There was a lot Josh wanted to say. He wanted to scold Sophie that this is why you don’t go into forbidden areas, or tell her that she should have run when he told her too. He wanted to say a lot of things, but instead he just hugged her.

“… Sorry.” He whispered quietly. “I won’t scare you again. Now come on, we have to go tell someone about this.”

He looked over his shoulder, almost afraid he’d seen that faceless horror again, but whatever it was, it was gone…

[Sarai’s Dorm]

“O-of course!”

Sarai blushed pinked, taking a breath and deciding to do what she said she would....Try again. The girl moved forward, pushing him back once again and pressing her lips against his...This time she was a lot more careful and actively tried not to smack his head. It was a lot nicer this time...She felt warm and tingly.

Much better.

Don't worry, i'm sure they'll be interrupted soon enough...

[Kibo Roof]

"Do you really think the bad guys are gonna wait for you to study up and graduate! They could attack anywhere, anytime miho!" Chloe shouted back, clutching her fists. She debated punching some sense into the boy, but she didn't want him dead...She just wanted a bit of spark! Anything!

“I don’t want them to take anything else from me or anyone… that’s why I don’t want your help in this. Nobody else needs to get hurt because of me.”

Chloe paused. "Miho...You may have to worry about other people, but not me. I'm strong enough to take whatever anyone can throw at me. Think of me as someone who can help you rather than someone you have to protect"

[The Forest]

Sophie nodded and took his hand, squeezing it tightly as the two walked through the woods. Obviously they were both on guard, trying to get back as soon as possible....

Hopefully without getting attacked again...

"Who do we tell? Mom and dad?"

[Sarai’s Dorm]

Now things were better. The sensation of kissing Sarai was heavenly, and Connor forgot all about his worries. Instead of dreading the prospect of their potentially being separated, he just floated away on a river of joy as they kissed and he wrapped his arms around her.

Connor and Sarai making out on her bed? Sure hope no crazy genies show up!

[Kubo Roof]

Lance groaned in frustration. He knew it was a mistake to talk about his past. To talk about those… things. Now Chloe wanted to help him, and the prospect of seeing them again was terrifying enough, but after watching them rip apart actual Reapers…

He slowly shook his head. “Chloe, this isn’t dealing with some jerk at school – we’re talking about dangerous… things! They destroyed an entire village of people a lot older and stronger than either of us!”

[The Forest]

Josh groaned at the prospect. Mom would be furious that he let Sophie go in the woods and probably not let her out of her sight… and it was impossible to know if Dad would yell at them or run off and get himself into trouble…

Then he remembered that in this time, their parents were only slightly older than he was, and their reactions could be even worse.

… but he was the one who told Sophie they couldn’t bother their Grandfather.

“Ugh. I guess we have no choice.” Josh sighed.

I can't see what you're imagining
-Kubo Courtyard-

“Well... there was... apparently a fifth. One that didn't make a chain though. I still don't know all the details. But, uhhh... apparently he kind of passed down from generation to generation,” Galv said, “And... I recently learned I'm his host...”

Galv was quiet for a moment, “...He's nice though. He seems to approve of you...”

-Kubo Halls-

“So you are finished talking with Lord Death?”

Edda... or at least who appeared to look like Edda, was outside leaning against the hallway as Genius stepped out. But someone like Genius would be able to tell it wasn't a green student in charge there.

Sol looked towards the man, a fire in his eyes, “You and I are old spirits, Genie. The young warrior who has so graciously allowed me use of his body is another friend of your daughter's. Perhaps you and I could talk?”

[Kubo Courtyard]

Melanie was silent, listening to Galv explain what was...Inside him? She didn't really understand the details...

"So...He's....It's....Inside you?" she asked, poking Galv's chest with her finger. "Like, actually inside? Does it hurt?"

Melanie had shadows inside of her but she was pretty sure this was TOTALLY different. Her powers weren't ancient and mystical...

“...He's nice though. He seems to approve of you...”

They also didn't judge people.

[Kubo Halls]

Genius looked over to see a student...But it wasn't actually. The boy had a different aura about him, something much older than his teenage body.

"You and I are old spirits, Genie. The young warrior who has so graciously allowed me use of his body is another friend of your daughter's. Perhaps you and I could talk?”

Genius gave a slight nod. "I suppose I have a moment before finding my daughter...May I ask who exactly you are though?"

[Sarai’s Dorm]

I'm sorta tempted to have Kaylan or Issac ruin this moment....But i'll be nice.

[Kubo Roof]

“Chloe, this isn’t dealing with some jerk at school – we’re talking about dangerous… things! They destroyed an entire village of people a lot older and stronger than either of us!”

Chloe sighed, running her hand through her messy hair. She closed her eyes for a moment and tried to think before she spoke. She didn't want to make him any more annoyed but she was also pretty frustrated. "Miho you're one hundred times stronger than you think. Don't hide or put things off. This is slowly tearing you up- I can see it. Rip off the band-aid miho. Fight"

The girl stood up, looking down over the edge of the building.

"If I just threw myself over this right now...What would you do? I obviously the chance of you getting to me before I splat on the ground is pretty slim."

She then climbed on the ledge, balancing as she walked the length.

[The Forest]

Sophie nodded, the two finally making it through the woods and into a clearing. "Hold on Josh i'm tired" she said, tugging his arm. "I wanna catch my breath..."

Probably not, but admit it, you laughed when you saw the gif.

[Kubo Roof]

Lance narrowed his eyes now, feeling frustration and fear flood his body simultaneously and fight for which emotion would override him. He took a step forward.

“I’d cast a spell on you to make you float before you hit the ground… but please don’t jump off the roof, Chloe. This isn’t helping anything.”

[The Clearing]

Josh reluctantly stopped, standing beside Sophie as she began to catch her breath. His hands were glowing very softly as he eyes the forest they were running away from on all sides, trying to keep watch out for faceless… things.

“Are you okay?” He asked again. He had asked her before, but he knew how his sister could be.

“I’d cast a spell on you to make you float before you hit the ground… but please don’t jump off the roof, Chloe. This isn’t helping anything.”

Chloe stopped on the ledge, glaring right back at Lance. She knew she was annoyed with her but she was annoyed at him as well. She didn't understand how anyone could be so passive. If someone had attacked her or hurt her family she wouldn't stop fighting until they were dead or she was...Granted who knows what she'd do if she was actually in the situation, but in her mind she was the bravest person she knew.

To prove that point the girl gave a shrug and leaned back, losing her balance on purpose and disappearing off the ledge in a blur.

Bravest or stupidest.

[The Clearing]

"Fine..Just out of breath" Sophie told him, hands on her knees as she took a few breaths. As she was staring down at the ground she felt her eyes water and her vision get blurry....She also felt her arms shake a bit as they supported her. She wasn't hurt at all, she was just terrified...It seemed as if the adrenaline finally wore off totally and she was realizing she was really scared a few minutes ago...

What an awful feeling! She hated being scared of ANYTHING.

[Kubo Roof]

“CHLOE!” Lance’s voice cracked a bit as he screamed out as he watched her drop off the roof. Strength was all well and good but it didn’t help much against gravity or terminal velocity. Chloe would be a stain on the pavement.

He rushed to the edge, closing his eyes and muttering something in latin. His hands began to glow and there was a rush of feathers exploding out from his palms as a ray of translucent energy started to shimmer around Chloe’s body – suddenly making her lighter than air so she would drift softly down to the ground.

He hoped.

[The Clearing]

Josh groaned once more, a sound that was all too common over the last few minutes. His eyes were racing across the horizon, watching for any sight of… whatever the hell they had been attacked by.

“We need to get inside and go see Grandpa.” Josh told her firmly. “Something is VERY wrong.”

[Kubo Roof]

Chloe fell from the top of the building her short hair whipping around her face as she raced towards the ground at an alarming speed. While she was one of the (physically) strongest people at Kubo she couldn't fly--so pretty much she was gonna die unless Lance acted.

Luckily he did, and the girl was covered in a warm bright light, sending her to the ground like a feather. The girl knew that Lance wouldn't let her die, but she was gave a small breath as her feet hit the ground. She looked back to the roof for Lance, giving him a small wave to the boy, before rushing off towards the forest.

She needed to let her frustration out on a tree or something...

[The Clearing]

"Okay...Let's go see him" Sophie said, standing back normally and taking her brother's hand once again. She pushed whatever moment of fear she had away...After all Grandpa could fix this. He could fix anything!
