Daisuke stepped lightly trying to make sure not to make a sound as he walked. As he did, he held out his hand in front of him trying to spark reishi particles in the palm of his hand. A few platinum sparks of energy popped in his hand but not enough to form itself into a bow. His powers were still too weak. The sudden sparks of spiritual energy probably alerted the presence Daisuke had been following. He spotted a man in a black turtle-neck sweater a few yards in front of him. He wasn't sure if it was a bount but his spiritual energy definitely showed he wasn't your average human. "I'm a bit lost. Could you tell me the name of this cave system? It doesn't seem to be on the map." He said unsure how the stranger would receive him.

Ryôjirô swiveled around, slightly startled as his follower made himself known. In front of him stood a white-haired kid, dressed in a school uniform. Eying him warily, he responded to his question in a low voice. "I'm not too sure myself what this place is." He gestured towards the inside of the cave with his head, "but something seems off about it." He shrugged, before deciding to introduce himself. "The name's Ryôjirô. And you are?"

"Daisuke" He replied. There was a strange force coming from a white gold ring on Ryo's finger. It seemed to almost have its own soul. Its own power. This confirmed Daisuke's suspicion. Ryojiro is a bount. "I guess the location isn't very important. It seems our fates were destined to intertwine. Why not show me your doll?" A slight smirk stretched across his face. He shook his arm slightly so that his quincy bangle slupped out of his sleeve, and down his wrist. This would make it plainly obvious that Daisuke too was a spiritually aware person. "I'd like to se what it can do" Daisuke said, suggesting a spar.

Ryôjirô raised his eyebrows in surprise as Daisuke shook his arm and flashed his bangle. He was a Quincy. The surprised soon turned into mock-amusement, and he scoffed, "Fight with a kid like you?" Nonetheless he got jumped back and put his hands in front of him, his ring hand coming on top of the other. He knew very well of the Quincy powers, and was not going to underestimate the kid. "You sure you want to go through with this?" He boasted with a cocky smirk.

Daisuke nodded. "Definitely. Heh. How old are you anyway?" He had completely forgotten about a bount's everlasting youth. His appearence said that Ryo was not much older than Daisuke but now he wasn't sure how old Ryo really was. He needed to prove that he could hold his own in a fight since it seemed the bount had his doubts. 'Please work. Please work' he pleaded in his head. Daisuke stretched his arm forward as spiritual energy gathered into a platinum Quincy bow. It didn't look very stable or impressive compared to what it used to be but at least he was able to manifest it.

Ryôjirô's body lost some of its pre-battle tenseness. He wasn't too cowed by Daisuke's bow though experience told him never to completely let down his guard.
Ryôjirô made a low sound in his throat as he contemplated the Daisuke's question. "How old...?" he pondered to himself. "Dunno. I'm not quite sure." He shrugged. "I must have started to lose track a few centuries ago" He said bemusedly.

"Excellent" Daisuke mumbled with a slight smirk. He was excited to be fighting someone with so many years of experience. This would definitely be an experience to learn from. With is free hand, Daisuke reached for the ring on his Cloudy Wolf cross. Pulling the ring back, an arrow of the same platinum energy appeared on the bow. He didn't have much energy to work with bu he only planned to work up a sweat enough to get a feel of what this bount was capable of. He released the cross sending the arrow shooting at the bount. Daisuke wanted to provoke him enough to draw out his doll. He was still incredibly curious what his particular doll was capable of.

Hector was slightly suprised to see a Quincy in the cavern upon his entrance. He noted a fellow bount in the area as well, and for a moment, mused to himself. He played out his options in his head. His first was the easiest, to simply stand back and enjoy the show. Hector had always enjoyed a good show, but he half doubted how long the show would last. Another option was to engage in battle himself. But this was quickly shot down, as he and Ordnung were long out of practice and would likely fare badly. Hector reflected that a more prudent Bount would have taken the time to train where he had not, but Ordnung, speaking in his own mind, then reminded him that it was pointless to lament the past. Hector was proud of his connection to his Doll, which he would often confer with in the privacy of his mind. His thoughts brought him to the his last option which was to announce his presence, and see how things played out from there. Never one to shy away from the lime-light, Hector stepped forward. When he spoke his voice was still tinged slightly by the ancient French accent he still could not rid himself of. "My, my, I must ask, what is a Quincy doing in this sanctuary for Bounts?"

Hector shrugged and turned away from the silent quincy and bount. He had patience to spare, but his had finally run out. "Very well, if you do not wish to answer, then I shall take my leave. Au revior." Ordnung scolded Hector inside their shared mind. "Why are you leaving? That quincy intrudeds upon our ground." Hector shrugged again, "I don't feel the need to bother with him. Besides, I'm sure there are much more fun places to be. Don't you?" Ordnung lapsed into silence, as was his custom when sulking. Hector wondered with other bounts had dolls that were as tempermental. His mind pondered this for a while, and as it did Hector's body made it's way out of the cave. It paused at the mouth of the cave to take a deep breath and sigh. Hector enjoyed watching the clouds move slowly across the wide open track of blue sky above him. Hector dropped his line of thought, as it had become boring, and looked about himself. As casually as it is possible to be, he strode off toward local civilization, if it could be called such. "Perhaps," he mused to himself, "I will find something interresting yet."

Callum had been sitting on a rock outside the cavern for a few minutes now, listening to his sister and father argue about what they should be doing. He rolled his eyes at the two again before letting out a gentle sigh. He had to admit, it was pretty boring just sitting there and listening to them argue. And what were they arguing about? Cecelia wanted to go home and do her hair and all that stupid girly crap, while her father wanted the whole family to spend the day training. Callum didn't really care what they did, just as long as it wasn't anything too girly or too dangerous. He loved both of them but sometimes he just didn't know. "Wow I wish someone would show us what to do." He said quietly to himself as he leaned back, resting his back against a tree trunk and looking up the the sky as he sister and father continued their stupid blabble.

 Kyoshou had been curious to see where his tribe was living now. A few tips had pointed to a strange cave just outside of town. He reached a large clearing leading to the cave entrance. Kyoshou had picked the wrong day to wear almost all black on a sunny day. The crimson bandanna he wore underneath his had was dark with perspiration as beads of sweat trickled down Kyoshou's tanned, feral appearence. Right outside of the cave mouth was a family? Kyoshou raised his eyebrow as he surveyed the dysfunctional family. "What the hell? Was that the reiatsu signal I was following?" He mumbled in disbelief. He could sense that the boy sitting against the tree was the Bount and the rest were his dolls but they were quite unusual for dolls. The boy seemed unusually powerful. Considering he was probably the youngest bount in existence, he was so strong. He could kick Kyoshou's butt without even trying. He had his DJ style headphones clasped over his ears yet he could still hear the family arguing. A pulsing vein sprouted on Kyoshou's right temple just under thr brim of his hat. He reached for his belt where he had a blue megaphone strapped. When he clicked it off, it gave off a high pitched feedback sound before Kyoshou shouted into it. "HEY! SHUT UP ALL OF YOU!" From what Kyoshou heard from their fighting, they were very new to the knowings of the Bount existance and didn't exactly have any other Bount to be their guide.

Cecelia looked at her father with a slight glare. "All I'm asking is to go home so we can relax for once and I can get some things done. I'm tired of blacking out for extended periods of time when Callum takes my ring off. I JUST WANT TO BE NORMAL." She screamed and turned around, rolling her eyes. It was then that she almost got blasted over by some guy and a megaphone. She staggered a little bit before looking at him with a glare. "Do you mind? We were just in a thrilling discussion about what we should do next." She said before turning back around, her blond curls bouncing across her back and shoulders. She walked over to where her cousin, Mindy, was sitting on the ground picking flowers and sat down next to her to get her mind off things. She'd let her father talk to the strange man.
Callum rolled his eyes at his sister and stood up, walking over to the guy and smiling. "Hey, are you a... erm... a Bount, too?" He asked, having forgotten what the witch had called him when she'd cursed him and his family. "We came here cause dad said it'd be a good place to train, but frankly I don't think any of us know what to do." He said, rubbing the back of his head in an embarrassed sort of manner. He looked back to see his mother and father discussing something quietly to themselves while they stared at Callum and the man. His little brother, Carter, was busy scribbling in one of his drawing pads like he'd been the whole time they were there. Callum turned his attention back to the man again and smiled. "Oh, right. We're the Matthews family. I'm Callum, she's Larissa, my mom, he's Vaughn, my dad, that's Cecelia, my sister, that's Carter, my brother, and that's Mindy Lake, my cousin." He said pointing to each of them. Mindy and Carter were the only ones to wave. Cecelia ignored him and his parents just smiled faintly before they continued their discussion. This made Callum frown.

"Yeah actually I do mind because your annoying as hell" Kyoshou snapped at Cecelia through the megaphone. He switched it of and clipped it back to his belt as Callum timidly addressed Kyoshou. He took off his headphones letting them dangled around his neck. Feeling rather proud of his Bount heritage he replied "Yeah I am. I take it your an infant bount." He referred to him as an infant because so long as a Bount continues to absorb souls, they could live forever. Kyoshou wasn't sure what to think when Callum began introducing his dolls as his family. 'Jesus Christ! Is this kid for real? He really thinks his these dolls are his family members? Or maybe he made dolls based off his family. Whatever the case I better not burst his bubble. He's either in denial or incredibly insane. Either way I think I'd piss him off if I try to burst his happy little bubble" He thought to himself. "Oh...umm...nice to meet...you...I think." Callum radiated spiritual pressure. It was incredible. Compared to Kyoshou, Callum's strength was colossal. "Well since your a newborn, you must be hungry. Without eating souls, you'll age and die like a normal human. There was a time when I looked about your age. I have gave up souls for a year and now I look like I'm in my early twenties. Never doing that again." By the look of it, Callum didn't know anything about a Bount's necessity to feed on souls. Frankly Kyoshou didn't think Callum's innocent demeanor had the willpower to eat another soul

Cecelia rolled her eyes when the man snapped back at her through his ridiculous megaphone. She looked over at Mindy and shook her head. "How can people be so rude, you know?" She said quietly, as if they were the only two around. Cecelia just sighed and went back to picking at her fingernails.
Mindy shook her head. Stopping her search for interesting flowers for a moment to answer Cecelia. "Don't let it get to you, Cece. He's just trying to help us." She said before picking another flower from her sitting location. She looked it over before sighing. "I hope..." She added to her before statement before planting the floor back in the dirt.
Callum blinked. He was rather confused at everything the man was saying. He got older because he didn't... eat, souls? "I'm not an infant, I'm sixteen..." He said and scratched the back of his head. He and his family had been turned into Bount and Dolls a little under a year ago, and his birthday wasn't but a few months ago. When he continued on Callum just shrugged. "I'd rather eat chicken, and macaroni and cheese. Eating souls sounds kind of gross and... if you eat someone's soul doesn't that mean they die?" He said with a frown. He really didn't want to be the reason people were dying all over the world. He just wanted to exist, like he use to. "I'm confused..." Callum finally admitted, looking to his feet.
Vaughn shook his head and turned around, putting his arm across his wife's shoulders, to get her to follow him. "All I think he's trying to do is help us. Didn't you hear him? He's a bount as well, just like... just like our son." He said with a gentle sigh. It still felt so wrong to refer to Callum as a Bount, and not just a human boy. Now he was a beast that ate peoples' souls and used them as his little minions. No, he couldn't think of his own son that way. Callum didn't even know what he was doing, he was just as confused as all of them. Vaughn couldn't help but think that way, after all realizing that he was now trapped to live inside a ring that Callum wore around his finger, and was only able to come to the real world when he was woke up. And when was that? When Callum woke him up, when he took off the ring and called him to the real world. It was just so confusing, so scary. True, they all had these weird abilities now, but... it just didn't seem like it was all worth it.
Larissa followed with her husband. She grabbed his hand with her own, showing that she was willing to be there and listen. She didn't like turning her back on Callum, though, with that strange man that had so rudely interrupted them with his ridiculous megaphone. "Yeah, well, what if he isn't trying to help us? He looks like he could snatch Callum and the others up with one hand and take them back to his house and get--" She stopped, shaking her head. She wouldn't say it, it was just too wrong. She then began to realize she was being only slightly foolish. Callum was incredibly strong now, incredibly strong. He could hold his own and protect all of them if he needed to. Well, with a little help from mommy that was. Larissa smiled to herself with that thought. And his little sister, Cynthia, if he called her out she'd kill everything in sight. Larissa regretted at times telling Callum to sacrifice Cynthia in order to grow stronger. But when she saw how she could come back and be so strong... Larissa knew it was all worth it.
