Asuka Bokuro
 "I see..." Asuka said in a slightly disappointed tone. She had been gone for longer than she had first thought, it seemed. And no doubt she was out of the loop on a great number of things.
She'd need to get a full update from Rednal himself, if and when he was up to it. All things considered, he was probably going to come home a little worse for ware, in one form or another.
She let out annother content sigh as her blue haired companion started to massage her, "Ah~ That's nice. Thank you, Aselia." She looked thoughtful for a moment, before continuing to speak. "I was paired up with Terumi for the duration of my deployment. He's doing well, but his cooking sure hasn't gotten any better. Hehehe." She giggled, recounting some news from her time away. Terumi, of course, being a fellow summoner, and long-time training partner for Asuka back home. "You don't really know him all that well, do you, Aselia? Yellow eyes, spiky green hair."
Well, at the very least, Asuka was pretty sure they had never really spoken outside of missions and training sessions. Of course, for Aselia, 'Speaking' was a bit of a stretch.

 Aselia Bluespirit
"Nn?" Faust? Oh, but his hair wasn't really spiky. Still, Japan was a very strange place, when you thought about it, with all these weird and strange hair colors all over the place. Maybe it was the prevalence of demon energy, or something really weird in Japanese people's genes, or some kind of weird blessing or curse... still, the color diversity made people more interesting, so she certainly wasn't going to be complaining. Interesting was good. She was suddenly having visions of a green Super Saiyan beating up demons, though, and the girl chuckled slightly as she continued to rub Asuka's shoulders.

Asuka Bokuro
Asuka let out a content sigh again, before turning her head, looking back at Aselia. "How have you been, Aselia?"
A simple question, but Asuka was curious.

???
From floor to ceiling, beneath the tile, and intricately worked into the roof of the room, the entire chamber was covered in seals. Seals of binding, seals of weakening, seals of containment, and seals of power. The magic circle on the ceiling bore a special insignia that called upon the power of Amaterasu, the Goddess of the Sun, and a particularly powerful force in a sealing like this one.
Not that it would have helped if the person inside really, really wanted to get out. Even powerful rituals couldn't permanently bind someone like the figure being kept inside the chamber if she seriously put her mind to it. The actual sun, on the other hand, was completely adequate for a task like that. The seal was less a barrier and more of a reminder of what waited beyond it should it be broken, really...
Normal humans would have been hard-pressed to see much in the chamber, but that wasn't a problem for its resident. Fangs would have glinted if there'd been light, but the figure's mouth opened anyway before it bit down on a large piece of raw meat that was still dripping with the juices of life. They weren't for long, though, as the figure quickly sucked the meat dry. A single drop of blood slowly made its way down a slender arm, and the figure paused, then tossed the meat into the air. Its right hand squeezed tightly and the meat vanished in a brief burst of light and power. In that momentary burst of light, crystals glittered and had anyone been looking, they would have seen the figure in the room licking up the blood that had rolled halfway down its lower arm.
Vrykolakas. Strigoi. Moroii. Nosferatu. All were correct, but most people were aware of the most common name for the figure's race... vampire.

Rednal, Flandre, and YunoRednal sighed heavily as he quietly shut the door behind him. The house was quiet... too quiet, almost, except for the fact that he knew that the others were sleeping upstairs. He'd gotten a message on his cellphone on the way home, detailing that the Yatagarasu had (completely without permission) had somebody move into his basement. Apparently, he was good at dealing with people who had various sorts of issues and problems? Well, that was fine. Still, he might as well say hello and see who else was-  "Um... this isn't what it looks like?"Rednal shut the door. I'm probably more tired than I thought... he sighed heavily. It had been a really long day. All he really wanted right now was to get some sleep. "Rednal, does this smell like chloroform to you?""Huh? Oh-"Rednal hit the floor, unconscious. Quote: Rednal has been kidnapped and taken to an unknown location...

Aselia Bluespirit
A loud thump could be heard throughout the house as one piece of furniture was dropped, and a moment later, Aselia lifted another couch over her head and peered underneath before setting it back down none-too-gently. She'd known something was wrong as soon as she'd woken up, because there hadn't been a warm, friendly body next to her. She was used to Rednal getting back late, but he was practically always there when she woke up. When he wasn't... it usually meant something bad had happened. Yet she remembered hearing him come home the night before, but he'd never come to bed... "Nn..." she flapped her wings a few times as she crossed her arms and tilted her head. Then, slowly, she turned her head to look at one of the house's doors. Was it... could it... the thing in there was dangerous. Had it snatched Rednal and... eaten him?
Aselia swallowed nervously, then fluttered over and knocked on the door a few times before cracking it open. Flandre
Scarlet eyes opened wide as a change could be felt within the dark chamber and a shaft of light, blindingly bright, lanced through the shadows. In an instant, the vampire had darted back against the far wall. Her magical aura rose up at the same time, filling the chamber with her power... but as expected, it dissipated almost instantly in the natural light. "SHUT THE DOOR!" she growled and, somewhat to her surprise, the intruder complied. Beautiful white wings, far more natural than Flandre's own, became the main source of light in the chamber as their owner moved in, away from the door.
It took Flandre all of half a second to cross the chamber, grab the intruder, and hurl her towards the ground. The intruder was no amateur, though, and managed to quickly right herself and conjure up a large sword. Fire swirled into existence around the weapon a moment later, further brightening the room and hurting Flandre's eyes... but fire she could deal with. Especially if she was going to get a bite of that tender, living flesh... And with that, the vampire darted to the side, leaping off the walls and the ceiling before suddenly heading straight for the intruder.
The strike from the blade, however, sent Flandre hurtling backwards to smash into the wall. It said a lot about construction methods and the precautions taken that the wall didn't so much as crack. Flandre was similarly unhurt, and while she expected she could prevail over this intruder, it would probably be fastest to wear her down. In the meantime... "...What do you want, coming down here?"

Aselia Bluespirit
"Nn!" Aselia announced firmly, keeping a wary eye on the creature that was crouched across the room, just as ready to dart forward on a moment's notice. She wasn't all that surprised that the inhabitant of the room was so... violent. Which, unfortunately, was only reinforcing her suspicions about what might have happened here last night. Very carefully, Aselia set her sword on the table, clearly ready to grab it on a moment's notice if the other became violent. Then she started some charades. "Nn. Nn!"Flandre
Flandre's puzzlement only grew as the intruder began making some shapes and signs in the air instead of talking like a normal person. Fairly quickly, though, meanings began to come across. The intruder was apparently practiced at this sort of thing. Person... Male... Owner... Walking... Night...? The vampire watched for a few moments longer, and the meaning of the intruder's movements became clearer and clearer. A male, who lived in the house, had come home... and the intruder wanted to find out what had happened to him? "I don't know! He just shut the door right away when he saw me, and then this other voice spoke up and asked something about Chloroform... I heard some shuffling, and nothing after that!"
The vampire could actually see the blood leaving the intruder's face, and in an instant, she'd snatched up her sword and darted out of the room, fortunately remembering to shut the door behind her. "Geez, what a weirdo..."

Aselia Bluespirit
This was something she hadn't checked before... frowning, Aselia pushed open the door to Yuno's room. Even afterwards, she wasn't quite sure what had warned her. Maybe it was a slightly different feeling about the door, maybe it was a faint noise... but because of her rush, she didn't quite have enough time to dodge, and the heavy anvil struck her squarely on the head. It would almost certainly have put any normal person down for the count, but Aselia's Atma form was rather more resilient, and some liquid formed at the edges of her eyes as a round bump appeared where she'd been struck. Still, that answered her new question. Rednal was missing, and so was Yuno, that strange girl with the strange relationship. For just a moment, she glanced down towards the cellphone on her belt, which would connect her directly to a number of superiors. But... neither of the two missing people was part of the Yatagarasu, and she was the senior agent of the household. That meant it was her job to take care of this. Aselia nodded a few times as the bump on her head slowly went down (courtesy of her inherent regenerative powers), then turned around, exited the room, shut the door behind her, and darted down the hallway. Maybe she wasn't going to call her superiors, but at least she could have her junior along!
And that was how it came to pass that Asuka was physically dragged out of the house and along on Aselia's quest...

Quote: Entry from the Mysterious Abandoned(?) Facility
Despite Faust's gentlemanly offer, Aselia hadn't let go of Yuno... and after picking up Asuka on the way, she'd quickly guided the group out of the area and away from prying eyes. She had not, however, gone to the hospital, even though that probably would have been a better choice. Nope. She'd elected to make her way home instead, bringing the whole group along, and as soon as she was inside she went to one of the doors, brought Yuno inside, and vanished. Aselia came back out a few minutes later, looking very satisfied with herself. "Nn." the girl said, gesturing for Kanade to put Rednal on the couch. The boy's self-healing factor had been hard at work, and considering his general resilience, it probably wouldn't be long until he woke up. If anybody had any questions, though, now might be a good time to ask...

  Kanade Tachibana, and Faustus Necromonium
Faust had followed Aselia closely the whole way, never leaving the side of the pink haired girl....until, of course, they arrived at Rednal's house. As Aselia moved to a door, then returned without Yuno, his reaction was predictable.
"Is she going to be okay?" he stated, quickly. The whole thing must have been very troubling for her....And he couldn't help but worry...
The fact that no one seemed to have informed him on the reason the whole thing happened, or the culprit....Helped not at all.
Kanade had been hesitant to follow them all the way to the home, but she moved quietly, placing the silver haired boy on the couch. She...She didn't know quite how this all transpired...and with little speaking from the leader...Well...
She'd quickly texted a message on their way back to a Certain senior, feeling tense...but at ease when he replied. She took a deep breath at this, tensing.
Have to be brave....Have to be brave. she thought quietly to herself as she sat down, awaiting her eventual...Judgement.

Aselia Bluespirit
"Nn..." Probably... she wasn't in any life-threatening danger. In fact, Faust's healing spell had pretty much recovered her. In the meantime, Flandre would serve as the perfect guard for making sure that Yuno didn't go anywhere until Aselia was ready to deal with her. Unless the vampire decided to eat her first, of course, but Faust didn't need to know that. Besides, Aselia had reached an understanding with the crystal-winged bloodsucker. Aselia looked towards the couch a moment later, where Rednal was stirring. Rednal Ak'ThiasRednal's eyes fluttered open, and for a moment, he simply assessed his surroundings... the moment didn't last long, though, because he grabbed Kanade, tugged her down, and planted a kiss right on her lips before letting go. "So, uh, what did I miss?" he asked the general group. "I feel like I was run over by a truck or something..." At this point, it might have been important for everyone else to note that he probably hadn't been awake for any of what had occurred. "KEIRA!" Although he must've remembered something...

Kanade Tachibana, and Faustus Necromonium
Faust cringed at the girl's lack of actual answer....just saying Nn. That's right....She didn't talk much.
Faust didn't move from his spot at the door, wanting to go into it badly, but figuring if she brought her into the room....She probably needed rest.
If only I was a bit faster.. he thought to himself, quietly. It was like the time...with the Gym....
He hadn't been there to help her....But....He was much stronger now...
If nothing else, he wasn't going to move from that spot, until he knew she was alive and well. Considering..what had just happened, and the scene with her voice....Sounding broken, and mournful...Despite the threat...He couldn't help but wonder what would compel her to act such a way.
Kanade flinched as the boy pressed his lips to hers, moving to push him off, before moving back. He was..okay....
But, at the same time.....
"Apparently...You and Yuno....Ended up in some...area..." Kanade stated, quietly. "And, Aselia went to drag me along to find you and her.....Faust came to help...And then....I don't know."
It was really all too much, too fast. Her phone buzzed a bit at this, but she didn't reach for it, not wanting to draw attention to it. Instead, she merely waited after his quick yell, wondering what kind of revelation he'd share with them....or rather..
What his reaction to her being around would be...

Rednal Ak'Thias"Urr..." the boy muttered, holding his head as he tried to process his thoughts. The last things he remembered were seeing a cute girl with crazy wings bound up in some kind of S&M play in his basement, then Yuno coming out and... "Are you all okay? Anybody hurt? I think I should've seen this coming..." he scowled slightly. "I thought her behavior was a little too normal. Maybe whatever that was pushed her over the edge?" Now he was just talking to himself, trying to sort through things. His hearing seemed a little off, too, but that was fixing itself as his self-heal worked its wonders. "If she snapped, it can't have been pretty."

Kanade Tachibana, and Faustus Necromonium
"Yo." Faust stated plainly, showing Rednal he was free of any injury, though his uniform was a bit tattered. He couldn't help but cringe a bit at Rednal's words, scowling a bit.
"What are you even talking about?" he stated, suppressing any unneeded emotion as he stood outside the door. Was Rednal the reason this all happened? Had he done something?
Kanade, on the other hand, seemed very much aware of the situation, and as he talked himself through it, she took in a deep breath.
"I'm sorry..." she started quietly, as she stood up a bit. "But, I have my reasons you know!"
The rapid swing in topics would definitely be enough to confuse anyone, before she quickly went to clear it up.
"I...I don't mean what..just happened.." she stated, quietly. "I mean...about why I.....I.."

Rednal Ak'ThiasRednal looked around the room very carefully, then lowered his voice. "Yuno isn't exactly very... stable." he said quietly. "After the accident, she was going through a lot, and she's never really recovered from it. She knows at least some of the problems and dangers we face, and I... think she wants to stop it all from happening. I've been trying to redirect her focus, but if she's already gone to the level of kidnapping..." he looked pretty pained about the whole thing. This may not have been surprising, considering the relationship the two of them had. "I wish I could make her forget about all of these problems..." he sighed, then looked up at Kanade and smiled. "It's okay." he told her.
