Blood Red Summer [Devil Saint meeting;Finished]

[Akuma Shadow]

“They’re late.” The Bara said with a deep sigh as he sat in the lather black chair that more or less Sara gave him, the less part being that she got it on EBay.

Give ‘em time, Lust voiced slowly, they are the owners of the other departments and I bet they too have boat loads of work.

“Yeah….but they could have tried to tell me that they would be busy in someway.” he said in the empty office. He glanced at the wall clock over the door.

2:40 pm is what it told him and that was enough for him to know that the others we’re now 10 minutes late. As he groaned with boredom and thought of nothing but well, nothing, the sound of the door knob turning made him lean back into his chair. He gave the door a harsh glare as he waited for the first person to be fucking late for this meeting.

[Akuma Sara]

Sara pushed into the door, both hands wrapped around books, paper and folders full of the information from the last 3 weeks of surveillance that her group collected. She still needed to look over few more times so that she would miss a single letter. It was days since she had some sleep and well, she was a little….off.

The Yanagi gave the door a mental nudge and tried to hold on to the stack of paper all at same time.

No problem….right? She questioned herself but unlike her brother, her response was met with silence.

“I’m here!” She shouted as she pushed wit her hips to open it just a little bit further but it wouldn’t budge.

“Oh, for the love of…can someone help…” the papers fell from her hands to the ground as Sara looked in disgust, “Oh….never mind.”

She stepped over the papers that lay before her and flopped down on the green and black.

“So….how’s life?” she asked cheerfully, "More important...How's Runa."

[Runa Lisger]

"I'm doing fine!" Runa burst into the room with a spring in her step and a ring in her voice, her half-form showing black ears atop her head and a long, slender tail that moved sensually as she approached Shadow, leaning down to give him a kiss, pausing just enough to brush the skin of her stomach against his chest before moving to sit next to Sara. Today she was wearing a bikini top (black, of course) with matching silk pants. She leaned up in her seat so that she wasn't crushing her own tail, and smiled at Shadow, not bothering to mention that she was late--it was a thing of the past, in any case.

"Where's everyone else?" she asked. "Aren't we missing some people?"

[Akuma Sara]

"I see I spoke to soon...." Sara said aloud as Runa sat near her. If anything Sara really, really, really counld not understand was HOW did THEY happen. Now Sara wasn't being heartless about it, she was happy that Shadow finaly found someone that liked, may even love him and that the chick was hot.

The Question was simple itself:

Why?

"I guess they haven't finish what they're doing." Sara moved her self to face the women sitting so focus on her brother, a small but forgetful frown on her face,"Tell me Runa, why were you late?"

[Runa Lisger]

"Ah, I have a couple things going on at home. You know, with our family being in service to the Ookami and all. They have a thing or two they want to know about Hell at the moment; it appears that there are some issues going on in the Celestial Realms; there are Celestials roaming the Earth, more so than before--that usually only happens when they're upset about something and try to relax. They only relax in the Mortal Realm when something is seriously wrong.

[Tomoshibi Ethan]

Ethan then walked through the door, stepping on the the papers that were littered on the floor.

"Alright," he said with a yawn, "What's this about a meeting, Shadow." he saw Sara and Runa sitting on the couch as he stop near that ugly green and black couch.

What is his deal? he thought as he gave a smile towards Shadow.

[Akuma Shadow]

"Well, I guess that's everyone."Shadow said softly under his breath as he leaned back in his seat, "Well, except Angel but she really has nothing to do with her. Might as well get started..."

He cleared his throat loudly as looked at everyone.

"We have a Big Job everyone." He got out of the seat and walked to the front of the oak desk. Leaning agenst it, he sighed deeply, looking down to the floor then back up again.

"This Job is from none other then Tomo, the Hell King. She wants us to find...she wants us to find mortals that know of The War. Now I don't know why she wants us to but we are getting paid alot of cash for this opperation. Now, I want to make sure that the things that we get through in this meeting are how we are going to do this and how long this will take us. We shouldn't take long for this, at least thats my start point for this."

He Folded his arms, "We are Dealing with a Hell King." He gave a smirk, "Any ideas?"

[Akuma Sara]

"Okay," Sara got up and looked out the window, "How in the, sorry about the pun, Hell did you hook up with Lady Tomoyo? I mean....really!?"

She sighed as she looked back at her brother with a stern look in her eyes that were covered with Sara's small glasses.

[Akuma Shadow]

Shadow sighed as he simply said

"We just know each other, thats all." In truth, Shadow didn't want to go into detail of his and Tomo's some-what-realtionship....if you can call it a realtionship. hey each just bump into each other and it wasn't like they were best friends or anything, just the You-scrach-my back-I-scrach-yours type deal.

"The point is that we have a high ranking job now and we need a plan before we start anything." Shadow looked at Runa with a strern look on his face.

"Runa, do you know of any of our Mortal cilents that know about The War because they would be the first to be put on our list. Ein, that goes for you, do you know of any of our Clients or any of the people that talked about it be for they were killed or any known realitives."

[Tomoshibi Ethan]

Ethan Thought about it. The fact that the Devil Saints were now working for a hell King made his blood boil and not in a good way. But he didn't let it get to him, at least not at the moment. he didn't want to seem troubled.

"I may have to check our sources again. Maybe someone i know may have some intel on the subject but..."he put his right hand behind his head and rubbed it, "...I'll just have to check it I guess."

[Runa Lisger]

Runa thought for a moment.

"The first thing that I could do I have my sister meditate on it. She might have to force it a little, but she might be able to do something to get a premonition about it. However, that's a last resort. I can have her just meditate on it and see if she can get any glimpses about what's going on.

"I don't know any Mortals who would know of the War, but I might know some otherworldlies who in fact live in the Mortal Realm that I can talk to. I will have to check the archives of my familly's connections. There are some that are higher up that I can't use, but I'll check the lesser ones. There are a few youkai and fae that live here...if I'm lucky I may be able to track a Celestial coming or going. I will see."

[Akuma Shadow]

Shadow made a nod.

"Well I guess with all of this we can call this meeting to a en---" A knock at the door made the Bara stop.

"You may enter." Shadow said with a groan, "Of all days..."

The door opened and its knocker was a women of 20 years of age. She wore a white tee-shirt and blue jogger pants and the fact that she was sweating showed that she was in the training room.

"Mr. Akuma, sir" she gave a salute, "I just recived a note that was adress to you and the others." The women bowed and held the letter out to Sara.

Shadow gave a confused look,

A letter...?

"Do you know who sent it?" he asked.

"No, sir."

[Akuma Sara]

Sara quickly snatched the letter from the women's hand. She ripped it open with her left hand , scaning the letter while making a shooing motion with her right hand.

"You can go now..." she said with a glee in her voice. The young women ran out the door while closing it.

"You got tobe fucking kidding!" she cursed as she threw the letter to Shadow.

"This is it, this is the lead!"

[Akuma Shadow]

Shadow clasp the letter in his right hand.

"This better be good..." he whispered as he opened the letter and read it.

To Whom it may concern,

...would you like to know what's going on in the Mortal Realm?
...who here knows about the War...?

The location and time was at the bottom but thats all it told.

"It's a long shot, we don't even know where or who its coming from." Shadow placed the letter on the desk behind him.

"I say that we go. Anyone object?"

[Runa Lisger]

"Of course not," Runa said, "but we should be careful." She was very skeptical about this meeting, and she also knew that there were several Humans who only took such things at face value.

"This letter was intentional. They had to have known what we were doing and who we're working for. So, they're either Sanada's enemies or his allies. I don't even like the Yami-ou, and refuse to battle his enemies. We should check it out, but we should also be cautious."

[Akuma Shadow]

Shadow grabbed his key and stuffed it in his black cargo pants pocket.

"Which is why I am going down there first. As the leader of the Devil Saints, it will be better for me to go down there to know what this meeting is about."

He went to his seat and snatched his coat from its resting place of the chair and went for the door.

"I'll call you if something is up."
