Upon walking into the Library, Oni grew depressed. She couldn't believe how many books this place had.
"This is going to take forever, Tetsuo. Look at everything we'll have to look through..." she whispered.
"Once we find a lead, it'll all come together. You have to learn to be more patient."
They decided to check the History section first. If anything like their situation had happened before, it would most likely be documented here. They narrowed their search to looking into the more unorthodox collections of history having to do with the paranormal.

Oni and Tetsuo had spent much of the day in the Library. Their search left them tired and wanting to quit. They both agreed it was time to rest and to get some sleep. Thankfully, they were a little closer than when they started...
In their research, they found several books containing different scientific observations of a new race of being. These experiments needed "strong beings". The title Tetsuo was given as he was being attacked the day his body was kidnapped. It wasn't given a name, but Oni and Tetsuo found that different researchers were trying to develop a group of beings much more superior than humans. After an artificial birth, the child was submerged in fast-paced learning until the age of 12; at that time the brain is no longer able to learn new information as quickly as it had before. After the child had learned all it could until that point, its information was used in order to create another child like it. However, this child would have retained all of the information as the first, but will be able to learn much more than the one before it. It would "pick up where the last one left off" so to speak. The first successful birth was of a young female taught in the ways of all forms of martial arts. The success of the experiment seemed within reach of the researchers. However, something went wrong and the second child had disappeared.
As they left the library to head to the dorms, Oni's mind was bugged by troubling information that she hadn't shared with Tetsuo. The children born in that experiment, dead or alive, all had one thing in common: females with crimson eyes, silver hair, and no recollection of their origin... just like her's...

Yume took a seat in the library, enjoying the peace and quietness. She selected a book and sat down with it, hoping to be able to finish it by the time she forgave Pander.
I know I can't stay mad at him for long...but...that act...was...so...
Yume shook her head, her black hair flying about in it's low ponytail. Almost in tears, she put her head down for a minute, the book discarded on the table.

Rain smiled then heard something in his pocket click. He reached in and pulled out alittle watch. His eye widened. "Ummm sorry I have to go now. See you around!" He said to Yue as he turned and put the book back on the shelve. Looking at the book case to remember where the book was. He then slowly walked out of the library, one out he ran back towards the New Student Registration Area. Something in his watch was pointing towards there again. 'But its not even that time of the day...' He thought to himself.

Fault walked into the library a face of sheer determination (which looks a lot like a scowl) and looked all over the library for a simple picture book. It took her a while but she found them. There werent many, but the few were going to be challenging enough. She picked up the book which looked the most interesting.
'Toucan George'
Fault Took this book over to a green leather sofa and sat there crosslegged with the book open on her lap, soaking in the words and expressions of the day-glow coloured toucan, everything. Reading the book under the breath she soon found she had finished the book, 'it was very short', so Fault read it again.

Yume lifted her head. I guess I should forgive him. After all, he did save me... She sighed and put the book back, stretching. Time to leave... She walked towards the Hot Springs again, trying to find Pander so that she could stop being mad at him.

As Erika made her way inside she stumbled a bit. Mostly out of shock of how...empty this library seemed to all the others. A rather nervous look was cast over her shoulder and she debated on wether or not to move into the crowded hallway again. She shook her head and stepped foreward, slipping past a few kids talking. She slipped past a row of books, feeling it would be best to to stray away from others. A smile would cross her features as she found an empty table. Slinging her book bag off of her shoulder and dropping it into a chair. Leaning over a bit she opened her bag and pulled out a book. She turned her gaze to the others, those blue orbs studying them carefully. She pulled out a chair and took a seat. Her left leg would soon be crossed over her right and her book was propped up and opened to a page. As she smoothed her hands over the dog-eared page she scanned the words, attempting to find where she stopped. Once there she began to read. Getting lost in the words.

Fault pattered back into the library, she traced her way back to the simple books and tried out one of the 'harder-to-read' ones. By now she had read all of the very simple books.
She was very lucky that her fox-like wits let her pick up the information very quickly, she was improving in leaps and bounds. She picked up one of the books and stared at it.
'Three Trees and Me'
Fault flicked throught the book at first scanning the pictures and decided it looked reletively interesting. So with that she took it over to the armchair and began to read, some of the more confusing words took time and one even required her to hunt a dictionary for help, but when she finally cracked it she felt so proud of herself. She could read one of the junior books all by herself.
That was it she had the willpower she needed to read more, she was going to be a perfectly literate student, she could tell with the social prowess of a princess. She sat glowing in her happy thoughts.

Rivera let out a little whimper, no more than a silver of a breath, but reminescent of a dying whale. She kept on reading, bearing the pain of the wounds on her body.
We are here, at the druid stones... it will be a long time before we can be settled here. I've fancied to live on the hills beside the royal family, I'll call it Illiyeshad... yes, that would be nice. I will spread the stories of the five ships and rally the sympathy of the people... Avalon will be a reality, but let it be a golden one, or atleast a gold plated one. Let it seem happy... it is all we can do. Her royal highness Isekri, the gyrfalcon princess, seems to worsen in health. The physician determines that she may lose her sight, but nothing is for sure... All we can do is pray, hope, and pray some more, for a miracle of the deep magic... But nothing can be done, the seers say. Isekri's destiny is preordained... she will be buried in the gods of the stones...
Her pupils constricted and dilated in a strange fear of the words... Isekri, the gyrfalcon princess? Why is it so familiar. The book's power tore even harder at her, she felt like butchered animal's remains, thrown to the hounds who rend her to shreds and ripped her apart. Summoning all her power, she snapped the book shut, the snap echoing loudly throughout the entire quarter of the library. The force released her and she crumpled to the ground, sitting midst pools of her own crimson blood, breathing heavily and painfully. Her body was covered in gashes and her cloths torn from the spell in the book. Rivera felt like she could just fall over and die right there, except she couldn't. Fear kept her alive, and unexplained fear that stayed with her even as the story was ajourned. She could feel eyes around her, but she didn't care. Her mind was afraid, but curious, honed in on the single name on a whisper.
"..i...ise...kri... "

Riako entered the building and started to look around. She hadn't been able to find Michio and the others so she had decided to head to the library and start studying some so she could be of more help when she finally did find them. After some wandering around she was able to find the section about elemental magic. Grabbing several books that looked like they might help she found a place to sit down and opened the first book she had grabbed and opened it up. She then flipped it to the one area she had all ready begun to study before coming here, the fire element section. She sighed as she skimmed throgh some of the info. She had always been more pratical than about books, her little sister had always been the one who had been about books. But when she did apply herself she did pretty well with books. Deciding she didn't like the first book she picked up the second and began looking at it and was soon consumed studying the book.

Kuro found himself wandering into the library.Things seem different here...Quiet...He thought to himself.He felt an atmosphere of pleasantry around the room as he scanned the many bookshelves.Wow...So many on different magic forms...Ways to manipulate...Even a book on a sacred tome that can kill just by writing a person's name in it...Absolutely astonishing!He though excitedly taking a book on dark magic and sitting down at an armchair.
Kuro began reading it quietly.So...There's more weapons I can make than just my gauntlets with practice?He thought as he continued reading.He blazed through the book quickly memorizing each thing he thought important and put it back on its shelf.He then took a book on The use of light magic in weapons and spells.He was amazed there was a pair of weapons he could make that were said to be extremely powerful.Well...I see someone's found something good...The voice in his head stated with a laugh.And whats it to you?Kuro asked.Nothing...Just proud my other self is finally trying to become stronger.

Kuro finished reading what he wanted and sighed."How long have I been in here?"He asked himself looking at a grandfather clock.Three hours kid...You sure let yourself go didn't you?The voice asked.Yeah...Hey...What can I call you anyway?Kuro wondered.Well...There's any number of things you could call me...But I think I would prefer...Kira...The voice told him.Kira?Well...Kira...I guess you are the darkness inside me aren't you?
Kuro stood up and thought for a bit.Well...Maybe I should go to the training room to try some of these new tricks out...He thought.He picked up his black jacket and swung it around his body.Yeah..I'll go there...He thought and began walking out of the library.

Riako sighed stretching she had just spent the last couple of hours reading various things about the different elemental powers. So far she had only been trained in how to work with fire so she had spent most of her time reading the various sections about learning to work with fire. But it wasn't really helping that much she needed to put what she had read to practical use in order for her to understand it better. She grabbed the notes she had taken while she was reading and placed the books back. After placing the books ack she headed out of the library to go check out the training hall and work on the things she had been reading.

Rivera looked up into the blurry ring of faces... what the hell? Did she just do something? Oh wait... blood? Standing up slowly, she shrunk down nervously, mistaking concern and shock for disapproval. She switched her speed and snatched up her items with a lightning movement, then dashed into the depths of the library to seek isolation. A trail of splattering blood made her path.
Finally, she stopped and collapsed into a corner to take account of her injuries. She look as if she had been bathed in blood, literally... well, more of a shower, but the crimson liquid splattered, smeared and trickled all over her skin. There was even a streak trickling down her face. Rivera hurt all over, and she felt weak... she took account of her surroundings...
There were a few computers, some books... if there were any people, she was too weak to sense them... her vision quickly went out of focus, causing her to half black out. Half black out? Is that, perhaps, a gray out? Rivera wasn't sure, but she was too tired and too hurt to care. All she wanted was her rest. Maybe they can find her body a few days later.
