Secret Kirari Athena stared at Lin a bit sadly before looking down at their hands. She couldn't look her friend in the face as she spoke. "I... I can't do that. I can't cover up or deny something that's a part of me. I don't want to hurt people, though, and I never have. No one in my family has--not even my cousins on my mom's side, who're mostly yokai. I am what I am... and I'm half yokai." Lin ignored what that other creature said, which was easier to do when he disappeared again. She then heard what Athena said and she slowly dropped her hands. She wanted to yell at her, tell her she's crazy for her choice. How could she want to accept her other half when it was purely evil?! But... she couldn't. She couldn't yell at her. For some insane reason, she still looked at her as her friend. What was wrong with her?! She couldn't be friends with someone who was even half demon! She sighed and turned away. "I have to go. I need to think." She then walked away and went to the gardens. After awhile, she went to the rest of her classes. She had so much self-discipline that she could focus completely even though she had so much on her mind. She stayed in the gardens between and after her classes. There, she could be around nature and communicate with it in her people's special way.

After Lin left, Athena went to her classes, and proceeded through the day... but she beat herself up inside. Normally, she was a rather loud person (having lots of siblings does that to a person) and outgoing, but today she wasn't. She didn't regret anything she said, but she felt bad. What would other people think of her? Sure, Western people accepted demons and yokai, and all their forms readily unless they were given reason not to, but people from the East were completely different... It was starting to make her wonder if it would even be safe for her to travel there, as she'd always wanted. She loved to travel and see things... but if they hated demons to the point that there wasn't any way to accept them, then how would they treat her, half-yokai and proud of it?
Only, she wasn't so proud of it now. Her vision of a yokai, which had been, quite basically, her parents and her family, was changing. Was she capable of hurting someone? Physically, she knew she was more than capable... but was it in her? In her blood? She never would have thought... but now she wasn't so sure. She was just glad that she'd grown up in the West rather than the East.

(wow im kinda surprised Lin didnt notice the flaming dragon sitting on Shinteros head lol)
Shintero watched as Athena went walking off looking sad after what Lin had said. "Now look what that elf's gone and done." Shintero shook his head. "That girl seriously needs to take a history class here. Her ignorance is annoying." Shintero stuck his hands in his pockets and walked back into the white magic 101 room and sat at a random empty seat.
Kindra decided to follow him back into the class room, and quickly sat into a seat next to Shintero since he was the only person she knew at the moment. When she looked back at Shintero's head she saw that Yuuki(wow feals weird using its name for once xp ) was now asleep.

I have 6 different programs installed to ensure that they can't haha. no matter what they do it will route back to the superintendent of the school system (whom I logged in as). just the cold weather, so it wasn't anything surprising biggrin )) ((no they have ways of traceing it like seeing the IP address of who logged on to the account ... actualy it would go to your friends house ... hmm sucks to be him if they do track it.))

((No Kai you dont get what Im saying. There is literally no way for it to be tracked. I have 6 seperate programs installed to ensure it. If they track the IP address, it leads back to the high school.))

The man snapped his fingers. Two of the armored figures came to his side moments with some sort of massive rifle. With little difficulty he held it in his right hand, setting the bulk and brace atop his left shoulder.
"My apologies Mr. Enlil, I truly had hoped to keep you on board as an adviser. This company has become tainted, tainted by your father's foolishness and your naivety. With myself at the helm, the company shall expand into a global monopoly of all things communications and weapons related."
The man began to realize that through his tough visage, Ialo was nervously looking to Set and Horus every few moments. Just for an instance, just a glance; but enough to notice.
"Are you aware that if the wrong button is pushed upon their LSS interfaces, they'll die horridly painful deaths?" His eyes narrowed. "Pick a button, Mr. Enlil."

Whatever Ialo had said mutated into an incomprehensible snarl, and it took a massive force of willpower to prevent his powers from slipping. As far as Ialo was aware, these men knew nothing of magic, at least nothing extensive. And he wasn't sure if they knew he was a dragon, since he and is mother always passed off their white hair as a genetic deformation of sorts.
"Pick a button, pick a button..." he muttered to himself, turning his gaze fully on the interface. After a moment he cracked a grin, an risky plan forming in his head. What Ialo DID know for sure was that Blue Storm 001 through 015 were circling the great planet Earth ready to respond at a moments notice. And nobody, not even his family knew about them. Not all of them, at least. As far as they knew, 005 was the version number of a fairly cookie-cutter satellite that Ialo used for research and a private phone line. He never told anyone what the machine was really capable of doing, or that it had siblings. His hand shaking slightly, he pulled out his cellphone (now free of Neon's jamming curse). "I pick this button," he announced, referring to an extra key on the phone.

He lowered the rifle slightly, as if a bit shocked. "Tha...That button? Fine Mr. Enlil, lets see just who that button calls; and just who you think can save the three of you." He raised the massive monstrosity of a rifle once more.

Ialo pursed his lips and held the key down for a few seconds, then released it. For a moment, all was silent, save for the rustles and pained breaths coming from the tanks. Then, all the computers in the room, and the building, again, save for the tanks, shut off. The lights were off, and the generators did not kick in.
Ialo, who had been slightly crouching, ready to sprint and rip someone's head off, stood up straight. ".... Malware detected," he finally whispered. "Purge and repair." It sounded like he had gone insane, reciting commands from a firewall or anti-virus program. A single monitor flickered back on, its screen completely white, with the Enlil logo, the blue outline of a dragon in the clouds.
"..... Full system access granted."
The rest of the computers roared to life, and every employee in the building would report the same issue: workstation unresponsive, displays only the company logo. Soon, identical reports would pour in from those working from home, at conferences, and those not even currently connected to the company intranet.

NeoNeon
Neon smirked. "I know, I know... And I love it." Her mind began to drift, not really focusing on her current bloodlust but on future plans. Dymetri's question brought her back down to Earth. "Totentanz, my familiar."
On cue, Totentanz appeared next to Neon and Dymetri, a fairly neutral expression on her face, although she did still look rather sullen about relinquishing her bright and shiny light to someone else.Dymetri raised his head slightly, to acknowledge Totentanz with a brief nod and smirk. He noticed her features and suddenly felt very guilty-- an emotion that was fairly unfamiliar to his body over the past few years.
He blinked and stood up straight.
"I'm going to walk into the forest tonight-- the same place that I met you-- and you're going to feed on me. Are we clear?" he said to Neon in a very soft tone, but it had a worried tone at the same time. He sounded almost like a father.
"I need to gather the necessary supplies for my first Night Class tonight. I mustn't be fooling around."
He slightly leaned down to brush the tip of his nose with hers. At that point, he left them with a last look for Totentanz, letting her know that he's giving space for another moment of Neon for her until nightfall.
Within seven milliseconds, he was back in front of the Night Building.
"Hmm, actually. I do need supplies for tonight's class." he realized out loud. He decided the first lesson was going to be for the special abilities class. "How to create death from the living.." he repeated the lesson name. Plants would do fine. He headed toward the school garden, his incredible nose leading the way. Before he knew it, he was surrounded by flowers of every kind.
And there was a particular flower named Lin that he caught sight of at the very end.
