The cat meowed softly and twitched his tail back and forth.

 Heading toward Reeve was, now invisible, Tutsumi watched him with the cat. He sighed softly and sat down on the side of Reeve and stared up toward the sky.
"So, odd day today, isn't it?"

(( I gotta run out in a few minutes, so if I don't reply, know that it won't be long))
Reeve reacts without being surprised. Like Seph and Sakiyn before him, Reeve felt himself becoming too used to the GNA.
"Yes, odd, and so in a way, normal," he replies, shaking his head with a small laugh. Idly, he strokes the cat's fur.

The cat closed his eyes and relaxed some as Reeve pet him. After a few moments he let out another soft meow.

Flickering back into view, he sighed and closed his eyes. His mind went to what happened to Fuji...and then at how silent the Academy was...
"It's only a shell now...isn't it?"

The front doors to the academy creaked open as a gust of wind floated silently indoors. As they shut behind him, A body materialized from the air. Shiro Takaro looked around the entrance, before shouting.
"Hello?"
He wasn't sure if anyone would recognize his voice.

 Fenris was irritated, hungry, and reeeally thirsty now. She was left in here was another unconscious person, and she couldn't move an inch. They didn't even think to attach some kind of life support to her. If no one did, she'd have to risk reopening these wounds again.
She sighed and closed her eyes, trying to rest, that is, until her stomach growled angrily at her.

As no answer met his question, Shiro took a few more steps into the barren academy.
To think this place was once full of life. To think this is the place I fled when I had no other place to go. Look at it all now. Covered in dust and....blood?
Shiro sniffed the air. The scent of blood was faint, but present. He quickly closed his eyes and searched for a signature. He was getting a reading from the med ward. He picked up the pace and made his way to the infirmary. With each step his mind was filled with memories of the same path. He remembered spending some time in the infirmary when he fought some big guy with a sniper rifle.
As he approached the door, he vanished into his gaseous form and slid effortlessly under the door. His signature was still there, but his physical body was nothing but particles. He floated silently over to one of the bodies, one of them seemed to be conscious. He leaned his head low to see the face of who it was.....
Fen?
He thought that he had only thought the name, but the name came out of his mouth in a low whisper as well.

Fenris blinked as she heard her name. She could feel something there, beside her. It was really creepy...
She had shadow thread wrap around her arms as she forced herself to sit up. It hurt, but she tried to ignore the pain. "What...?"

As she sat up, her face moved through his own. In that quick second where their heads were one, he remembered times they had spent together when they were younger. He leaned back and partially rematerialized, slwoly, as not to scare her.
"....it is you..."

She blinked, the form taking place before her resembling someone she knew. She was a bit surprised as, out of everybody she expected to see here, he was the second to last on her list. (The last being Nekojiri)
He had helped her that one time when the Seven Sins attacked. "Shiro... why are you all see through?" She asked, giving him a stupid expression.

A tear formed at his eye as he saw her like this. It fell to the floor with a drip.
"I'm a wind-nin, Fen, don't you remember? It's...what I do....."
He hadn't seen or heard from her in several months. Circumstances of their last meeting had led Shiro to believe he'd never see her again.

Fenris saw the tears as she blushed, then looked away quickly. "I'm fine now. If you keep worrying about me, you'll have a heart attack..." It was just like with Tutsumi. He was crying for her. She did not know Shiro too well though, yet he cared so much.
How was everyone else taking this? At least, the only ones that really knew were Shiro and Melony. Tutsumi found out after she disappeared. Everyone else was still stupid to the situation with her.

She looked away shyly. He quickly wiped the tears from his face, merely smudging them across his cheeks. Fen meant a lot to him, and he was never there. She was so prone to tragedy, and stills he was the only one who showed him any kindness when they were younger. The fact that he had came and went was bad enough, but last time he was there and she was in trouble, and he couldn't do anything about it. He cared for her, but due to his condition he could never stay in one spot, he'd never be able to be with her.
"I can't help it....I'm sorry I couldn't help you....I should've helped you....now look..."

"A shell in more ways than one. The building's an empty shell of it's former self, and the potential we once had here is only a ghost. It's as if we're ghosts again ourselves, Tut."
Reeve pets the cat gently with one hand, though the other hand balls in anger.
"Our own are going crazy or having seizures, time itself is killing us off. We have no enemy- hell, we have no -structure- any more. Where is Neko? Nowhere. As far as students go, we've got Lina, who's a prodigy, but there's something wrong with her, thanks to Neko, and Zyhpier, the loudmouth predatory pea-brain. This Academy, both as a place of learning and as a fighting force is a joke. I mean, -I'm- one of the top nin around here now. That's sad commentary in itself. And I can't even keep my wife with me for longer than a week...."
He trails off in his tirade, focusing now on anger in himself more than at the Academy. The sky darkens and thunder rumbles quietly, far-off, matching his mood.
