Everyone sorta seemed delighted that Donte came in, Kirro soon following. It was sorta ironic actually. But when Hana came in everyone was confused except Ruji who welcomed her in personally, "ah come to join in, come come theres a seat here for you." He pointed to the spot, "alright going back a step for the ones who missed it. I can handle the smaller devil henchmen with the shimgami's from the spirt realm. However it's up to you all to take hold of the plan. Evelyns right, if the seven come, which they most likely will, then they will need to be defeated. However!" He held up a finger, "we cannot defeat them." He shook his head, "that would make everything off balanced. Then Hell wouldn't be hell, and there would be no damned." He hesitated in thought for a moment. "Unless that's what Yuji is planning." He looked to Kirro, "young miss to be hoinst I'm supprized to see you here sitting with us. As much as I'm sure there is dought your not a spy for the other side, I can only hope that they can see the fact your stuck in the center." He walked over to her and looked to her personally before squtting down. He carfully took her hand and looked eye to eye, "and we will not ask you to do or to reveil anything." He let go and looked to the others, "as far as I belive she is an observer. And perhaps the air for the after effects." he stood. "Yuji and kirro here can probably fix the balance if broken. And it comes down to the fact, that each of us will be facing a Prince. Donte, you are the only one proficized to be able to take down Lucifer in a killing blow, but theres always more to these proficys then what meets the eye. Trust me, I spent my time writing a few back in my day."
Meanwhile the little drone rested on Hana shoulder for support. Carfully recording all that was going on and being said as it had done countless times before throughout history till it was deactivated and reactivated recently. Ruji even looked to Hana, "you are the twin to Donte correct? Proficys with any one twin, always means the other is involved. You two I belive are destend to defeat a prince. Or for all we know, make it possible for Donte to take Lucifer down."

Hana shrugged but shook her head as she leaned back in her chair. "I'm pretty sure this prophecy was planned out before anyone even knew I existed as Dante's twin. I don't think I'll have any part in it." Evelyn raised an eyebrow. "There's more than just a possibility. As much as you'd like to fade into the background for this one I'm sorry but you're in the spotlight this time Hana." Hana frowned. "I hardly think I'm powerful enough to take down a daedric prince." Dante smiled over to her. "I think you can." He chuckled awkwardly. "Although I have to say the prospect of killing Lucifer scares me a little." Evelyn grinned. "It scares us all kid." She glanced briefly over to Kiiro again who stood and stared at the floor sadly. This couldn't have been a good situation for her, joking around about killing her father. She didn't even like the thought of herself being the heir to Hell. She couldn't do that. She couldn't be her father, she was nothing like him. She was no leader. "Point being the seven princes aren't going to be a walk in the park. These guys have been around since the dawn of time, since the original angels fell from heaven. They know their stuff, they're very powerful and experienced. And most of all they will try and trick you."

*Ruji nodded, "Good point." He noticed Kirros unease and shied, "just remember that we are only playing defencive here however. If they do not come out to take over, or kill any of the living, then they are no threat and therefor we have no reason to act." He looked back to Evelyn, "still it's good to have a plan for defensive purposes. Everyone has the right to live, but how they chose to live, and to do with there lives it everything. Even for the ones in hell. We will need to be ready. This group, right here, is our defence. Now there are rumors of shapshifting. And so we must each have some way of telling if we are being deceived. For all we know, the princes could already be here, walking umong us. Any ideas on that measure?" After getting an answer, weather someone had one or not he glanced back to Hana, "Evelyn is right my dear. It's time to face not only possably a greatest of enemys you will ever face, but also yourself. And being what has recently happened to you, I do belive this is the perfict time to decide what yourself truly is." He pointed to Demi, "what exacly are you two? I sense phonix in one of you... or at least a hint of it."

Demi nodded with a smile. "I come from a long line of pure breed Phoenix's. My husband here is a Guardian. Our family have a lot of those." Evelyn rolled her eyes. "Don't even get me started on Guardians. Why any Yokai would want to dedicate their lives to protecting humans I will never know." Dante frowned. "Hey, I'm a Guardian too." "Only half Guardian." "Half Phoenix." Evelyn sighed. "This is going a little off topic." She sat back down. "The princes are subject to shape shifting we know that much. Although I am pretty sure there are a couple that can't change from their original form.." This was when Kiiro finally stepped in. "There are two that cannot change from their animalistic forms due to their characteristics. All the others can change into humans."

Ruji gave a nod, "Thankyou Kirro. So there is a possablity that four can be anyone. Keria even by appeince. Or one of us. We need a way to make sure." Shortstraw razed his hand, "I can tell Evelyn as she can me. Being linked we can do that. Donte and Kirro. Although Kirro is alittle diffent the the rest of us, I could see they using her apprince if they needed to on us. Just saying. As for Demi, Hana, and Moridiki... and you..." Ruji shrugged, "Evelyn and I are bound by what we belive is a binding curse. We can tell aswell from the strange pull when we face different directions. Surly Demi, your and Mordiki... I think that was your name sir... I'm sure have a link aswell. So that's that, we travel in pairs of two. As long as we stick together, we know who's who. When you see one sprate, theres a chance It could be a prince. BUT, incase they try the same tatic we will need to know a code they cannot. So, each of us will hold a word in a single sentince. When we meet, you are to say the phrase inorder, while imputing your coded word. COuld save all our lives." He shied and bobbed his head, "I just Relized that means I have to take Evleyn back to the Shimigami realm. And that she will be stuck in the center of the large battle to come." He looked to her, "for that I apologize. But I have you know, I rather have none other then you upon my backside." Another aw moment, even if he didn't know it and looked back to the groups. "So a phrase. What should it be?"

Kiiro faded back into the background, not wanting to get in the way as Evelyn leaned back in her chair. "Something only all of us will know. Something they would have no way of knowing. A family thing." Dante grinned. "This is the first time I've heard you refer to yourself as part of the family Ev." Evelyn scowled. "Don't call me that." Dante sighed with a smile. "It was worth a try." Mordekai nodded. "So we're sure that everyone here can be confirmed as being who they are. Before working this out is there anyone else outside of this group that should be included? No doubt the princes could use these people to their advantage. For example Dante's crew, Soflora and Crescent. Given the chance the princes will try to manipulate us through people like this." Dante nodded. "That is a problem. I mean there's so many of us that we can't actually keep track of them all, this leaves things open for them to take their chance too easily." Evelyn nodded. "They might not try something so obvious, but it's a thought."

*Ruji thought a moment, "Ah yes. A perfict example Sir Donte. The queen should be focused on her people while we're compleating what mission we can. Same as the other members, each has a part surly they can take. If they come our way and we can convenice them to do that job, if they come of of placement, we will know if they are themselves or not. For example, the queen again. If she's takeing care of her people, there is no possible chance she can appear in the spot where Donte is to fight a battle, or maybe headed to one. Obviously that would mean it's not the real women at all. It's characteristics like that, that the family should be fimillar with knowing. If they act out of place, or distant, then they may not be who they appear. Tred carfully on that note, and we should be fine. A small group can be just as mighty as a large one. We will be more in control if just the eight of us are involved." He however in retrospect, pointed to Donte, "you will be the only one with a problem however. Like your body gaurds. As king all we can do is accept that you judgment on them can be correct enough on who you can trust. I do not know who this cresent women may be, but I'm..." He blinked. "Wait actually I may. Still, if they are truly to honer and do there part, they will lisen to the reason of being distant from you. Again tred carfuly." He then shifted uncomfortably, "As for the teams. Demi and mordiki. Me and Evelyn. Shortstraw and Hanna. And then finally, Kirro and Donte." He glared at kirro however before glancing back to the group, "any objections?" He didn't know the family enough to know a phrase sadly. I hoped one of them might have an idea. Shortstraw was trying to think up on, it showed on his face. However shortstraw was the one who held up a finger, "side note! Do not let Veria be involved. She may try... but it's not a good idea."

Evelyn shook her head. "Veira will be in her own business, it's okay. She has enough to worry about with the whole Amelie thing. Same for Hikari." Mordekai's interest was piqued at the mention of his sister. "What's this about Amelie?" Dante frowned. "Yeah this is the first I've heard of her for years." Evelyn pulled a face. "Maybe I shouldn't have brought this up." Mordekai scowled. "You have to tell me now." Evelyn looked to the others, unsure before looking back to Mordekai. "Hikari Yuji and Veira have been working to give Amelie a second chance. To be herself again before all the s**t happened with the scientist that ******** her up. They're recovering her from being a shinigami at the moment." Mordekai clenched his fists and stayed silent for a moment, but Demi saw the anger in his eyes. Finally he replied calmly. "There's nothing to be done about something like her. It's a pointless effort." Dante wasn't any better about the information. "Veira and Hikari always treasured mom though. I guess you could have predicted they would try something."

*Shortstraw blinked. "Wait huh?" He thought about it, "that would make a lot of sense as too how she's been acting latly. Same with Yuji when he kept poping up. Then he asked Keria to take him back so he could see what happened to Ameile. Maybe they have a way to fix whatever that dease was." He nodded with a shrug, "all we can do is let it be for now. Let her stay out of this prince stuff, I know she values the underword. I do not wanna see her as an enemy right now." Ruji nodded, "back on task however. I wish to get started as soon as possible so we are better prepaired. We need a phrase. Sadly i'll admit I'm... not used to this family as of yet. There for I must relay on you all for that. Perhaps Evelyn can fill me in, she has been helping me since I've been... free." Shortstraw glanced to Hana, guess he was working with her this time, an odd change but he wound't complain really. For some odd reason... his kids liked hana a lot. Respected her more then the other grown ups. Even him sometimes. So he would give her a chance. That and... well he heard rumors about eve. He wouldn't bring it up though if he could help it.

Evelyn snickered. "Can't imagine what it was like being stuck with Yuji for so long. Must have been horrible." She grinned to Ruji before Mordekai sighed. "Enough with the flirting. It's sickly." Evelyn raised an eyebrow. "I don't see you trying to sort out our problem." Mordekai scowled. "I'm as used to this family as Ruji is." Hana decided to break the tension as she cleared her throat. "When asked the question, 'what did the phoenix say to the wolf?' In order to verify that person is who they say they are we have to reply, 'I talk to God but the sky is empty, I desire things that destroy me in the end, I am too pure for you or anyone'." Mordekai pulled a face. "That was strangely poetic." Hana raised an eyebrow. "I didn't see any of you saying anything." Evelyn nodded. "Thank you Hana, that's perfect actually. How did you think of something like that? I mean.. It's a perfect analogy. Of this family I mean." Hana frowned. "I'm capable of being cultured sometimes."

Okay that statement proved it to shortstraw, Eve chose right. He smiled with a nod, "perfict. And being long we will be able to tell if key words are missing too." He nodded, "I think everyone should say it a few times to remember the verse though." He had too, more then twenty times or so in his head.
Ruji however razed a brow, "what is... flurting?" He asked. He held up a finger and pulled out his pocket dictionary to look up the word. Sadly he was still learning how to read a dictionary, therefor it would take some time for him to find. Still ever so serious however. To him that word, "flurting" could be a key word or code to over come there enemys. He must know what it had ment! None the less, now the meeting was about over... for now. The team was to split up in pairs now, as assigned and go there own directions. Thus, shortstraw moved closer to Hana, since he was on the other side of the room, "kinda ironic I'm paired with you." He chuckled ackwordly, "I'm sorta the weakest one here.... well without keria or Evelyn. But I still have a few tricks up my sleeves." He assured her.

Evelyn sighed as she went on her way with Ruji. "They're not much, but they're family." She suddenly frowned at her reference to actually call them family. "I mean not blood related. But they treat me as their family." She looked to him almost eagerly. "What do you think of them? Especially Dante. He's king here now and became king when he was a kid. He's had a lot of growing up to do recently."
Dante went to meet Kiiro with a smile. "Looks like its you and me." Kiiro nodded solemnly. "Yes.. I guess so." Dante frowned. "Hey don't look so glum. I'm sorry we were talking about your dad like that earlier. You know it probably won't get to that." Kiiro turned away.
Han rose an eyebrow to Shortstraw as they walked, taking out a cigarette and lighting it. "Is that so?" She took a few puffs. "Why's it ironic then? You're my sisters husband, but I've never really had the chance to talk to you properly."

*Shortstraw shrugged, "I never thought you liked me to be honist. You seemed to always want your distance you know. I have to respect that." He shoved his hands in his pockets. "And it's Irnoic because I really didn't think a human like me would be paired with a gaurdain, phonix at a time like this. I expected to be a third wheel honestly." He glared at the ground as he walked, "I havn't told the others yet. But I know they may have susspitions. Evelyn will be pissed, Eve knew." He looked to Hana, "She knew that... theres a problem with my soul. Evelyn will be okay but..." he held up a hand as if to explain something as he looked to her, "oringnally I wasn't suppost to age. I was to last 3000 years as a Demon Hunter. But when I split my soul three ways, it broke that link. I'm now aging as a regular human should." He looked to the ground as they walked, "my point is. I'm getting older, and my bodys getting weaker. I really noticed it when everyone was running after that scentist... I couldn't even climb the stairs. I was slow." He looked to her, "and I tell you this so that you understand that I do not wish to get in your way. nor be a handcap. I ment to tell Evelyn this, since if I die it's said she will, but that link was broken too, when I gave Keria a piece of my soul. So if something does happen out there. Don't risk it for me, be a true warrior or however the hell Eve would say it and do what you came to do." It was sorta sad, but it was straight up. He saw Hana as a straight up type of girl anyways. He smirked, "but I'm going to go down swinging~" He chuckled.
meanwhile Ruji blinked a few times at the question as if thought. The way she looked at him like that, it somehow sparked something in him, and yet he had no idea what it could have been in the brief moment before it past and he was back to us usarl self. "Well... I presume since Yuji was part of the family, and out bloodline was the same originally when the persinallitys were created, I would say I think I would be counted blood related..." he pulsed and looked down to his body, "okay I would be. But obviously this isn't my old body anymore. Yuji has that." He chuckled, "not the answer you were looking for however. I kinda like how your family, the one you are sticking too, values each member. Wether or not is descretly or not, there is value in each no mater size, age, or indifference." He took a breath in thought and looked to Evelyn, "even you apparently. Perhaps even me in time when I can actually setal. I used to move each day In the past. So I'm not used to having what most would call... a: " home."

Hana pulled a face. "You're talking like you're already gone, or are going to be very soon." She looked to him after taking another few puffs of her cigarette. "You're not gone yet, and you shouldn't act like it. Especially around Evelyn or Kiera, they would get super pissed with that frame of attitude." She told him up front. "Live every day like its your last, yes. But just because you're mortal doesn't mean you're helpless. Humans have been the best thing to ever happen to the world, and you should do well to not forget it." She added almost scornfully. She hated self-pitious people, always had. She couldn't deal with it. That's why she had always loved Eve so much, she was always so strong and didn't trouble anyone with her problems. Hana felt other people's problems were too much of a burden. If you weren't willing to help yourself out, then you shouldn't expect other people to help you. Everyone just has to look out for themselves. "I know Kiera and Evelyn much more than they'd like to think." She finished her cigarette and dropped it on the floor before stubbing it out with her boot. "I think Evelyn feels like her life is just beginning. All those years before she was just ushering you and Kiera around, and now she has finally had the chance to build her own personality as a person, as opposed to being labelled a demon or archdemon." Whether or not she knew it, Hana had a lot of wisdom and knowledge to give. No one ever gave her the chance to, sectioned her off as being a whore. But living the life that she had did wonders to her knowledge of the world.
Evelyn chuckled. "Well get used to it. You have a home now." This would of course mean that she classified the family as her home too, which was a foreign concept to her. She'd never really thought of it before, feeling like the straggler that she was. "There's a lot of destiny in that family for sure. Maybe that's why I was drawn to it in the first place. Originally actually I came into contact with that family to spy on them for an old friend who had connections with Amelie and Hikari. Although I've never actually told anyone that before. Kind of weird."

*ruji gave a nod as they entered a forest and he seemed to be looking for the perfict spot. "Ah such secrates of small detail can always be a deciding factor" he turned to better his little riddle talk as he looked to her, "I appreshaite your sharing." He started moving again, "questions arise now. Being on the subject. Frankly it is sorta odd for a family destined of so much. To change the world, and to become the angels and demons themselves it seems. Wether family by blood or nay, the connection each living thing shares is sacraied." He turned again to her, "this Ameile and Hikari. Those names I recognize greatly, for it was always in Yuji's writtings. He talked how he was unsure of the both of him, and how he felt stuck in between them. For some reasion he felt he couldn't pull away from that though, he emjoyed the feeling it gave upon him." He gave a shie relizing he hadn't asked his question yet. "Miss Evelyn when coosing a fate, a place to stay, a place to belong and be. Both in the hearts of the others you can trust, and in the eyes of the grestest of all enemys we may face as like today... before we enter this realm yet again. I wish to take a second, a moment here beside you that I shall remember for all time being." He looked to her, eye to eye, "If you had to choose right now. For the saftly of this earth, the world and all things. Would you sacrifice all your chances, the family and everything you now know?" This was a trick question, but she could probably see in his eyes, this was a clouded question, something that was deep within himself that he was trying to place into words. It was kinda like reaching out, but again. He didn't understand all that yet. Was what he said what he ment. Even he himself wasn't sure if he used the right words, or sentince. But this was a moment where He and Evelyn were face to face before the greatest war was to start. A time when there was no telling if they would both make it out alive...
Shortstraw smirked, "yea your absolutely right. I'm just worried is all. It's sorta what I am." He chuckled, "as a father, a huspend, supporter of the angels and all that crap." He put a hand behind his neck, "I'm sorta venting here. Sorry, didn't mean to get like that exacly." He glanced around, "anyways. Back on topic. Do you have any plans, or are we just going to wing it?"
