Church V. 2.0 (Living Quarters)
Do you study the holy arts under the lord? Do you wish to grow stronger in your holy powers, or just want a rest in a sanctuary of some sort? Well, the Church has a living quarters. A place where the students who study under the lord can relax and sleep. And can keep away from other demons and other races. But the living quarters doesn't always means you have to pray 24/7. Nope, you can chill and relax with the other students who wish to have holy powers.
This is located merely upstairs of the main foyer in the church, right above the where the priest talks and all. The rooms are decorated in a very soothing church-like way. The window hedges are made out of stain glass, while the glass of the windows are hard-to-break glass. The beds are old fasion, but kept simple. The floors are neatly polished. But beware, sometimes the nuns will go crazy if you break something.

He walks in tiredly and looks around the room briefly. He spots some beds in the room and he walks slowly towards them. Shortly his walk turns into a crawl, and then his crawl comes to a stop as he rests his head on the edge of one of the beds. His eyes slowly close and he sits still on his knees for a few moments. Not much time passes before he jolts up and realizes he's not in the bed yet. He takes off his shoes and quickly gets into the bed. He pulls the covers up over himself and then looks around the room once more, not seeing anyone in the quick scan he has made. He closes his eyes and falls asleep.

Bukotsu smiled at Oni, "Your intention is really pure, and I think what your doing is wonderful" He said as he walked to the church door and opened it for her. He had never met a girl that would seem to care about others, especially one so close to family, the girls at his previous school were abit for themselves and never thought about family at all, to busy finding th perfect family of their own. But thinking about what Oni was doing made his cheeks have a shade of red to them.
He turned to face Oni and smiled, even though his cheeks were abit red, "Well, I guess this is it, ladies first" Bukotsu said letting her go through.

Oni was suprised at his remark. She didn't think what she was doing was of any big deal. She had always been told to do the right thing; aid those in need. Especially those who are close to her. "I only aim to do whats right...."
As Oni made her way towards the inside of the building, she began to feel a slight burning sensation on her chest; in the same location as the pendant she had taken from the forest. Thinking nothing of it, she stepped toward the threshold of the door. Upon doing so, the burning on her chest intensified greatly. Throwing Tetsuo to the ground, Oni doubled over in pain, backing away from the church. She desperately tried to remove the pendant, but she was unable to do so. Nothing would ease the burning, which was steadily intensifying with each second. Her screams echoed through the sky as she released much of her power, unable to control it. The wind became unbearably cold and filled with sharp icicles....

Bukotsu immediately rushed to her, trying to calm her cown. Upon doing so he couldn't figure out what was causing this. Looking at the pendant, and saw how she seemed to try and take it off, Bukotsu removed the long stick from his bag and swung it, making a clean blow. He tried to shatter the chain and not hit Oni at all, and hoped for the best as he let it swing at the Pendant chain. Bukotsu could feel a surge of energy from her as the stick was halfway there.

The stick came into contact with the pendant's chain, slicing it in two. Instant relief rushed over Oni as she fell to the ground, landing on her back. Her eyes glazed over as she looked toward the sky, giving herself a moment for the pain to subside. She could feel the skin on her chest reacting to the burns; she clenched her teeth tightly.
It was then that Tetsuo was able to make his way over to Oni's side. She hadn't realized she had thrown him so far away from herself. "What the hell??! What just happened?? Can you move??" Oni was still unable to answer. Releasing so much energy had drained her into a state of fatigue. A couple minutes went by before she fell asleep...
Tetsuo looked up toward Bukotsu. "She's got no idea how strong she really is... we'll leave the pendant here. We gotta take her inside..."

Bukotsu dropped the stick and ran to Oni's side and picked her up alittle, lifting her up. He carefully followed Tetsuo's instructions, lifting her up, and getting his things and leaving the pendant there, as he gently lifted her off the ground and put Tetsuo on his back. He walked in carrying Oni in his arms, his bag and the stick, and Tetsuo.
"I hope she gets better from this" Bukotsu said looking at the sleeping girl in his arms. Looking in, he didn't see anyone around. He walked over to a couch and set her down there while he go look for someone to help, "Tetsuo look after her," Bukotsu said taking only his stick, a small pouch full of his herbs and his pale green military cap.

Tetsuo climbed onto Oni's chest and looked into her face. "I guess that thing was too evil to enter a holy sanctuary?" he said as he opened Oni's shirt in order to examine the burn on her chest. There, he found a pheonix-shaped burn that had charred her skin. The burn appeard to go pretty deep into her skin, and had taken a dark red hue. He rebuttoned her shirt and sat above her head, waiting for Bukotsu.

After wandering several hours he returned, "There's no one else that's here" Bukotsu said tipping his cap, "Is there anything wrong with her? Any pains or whatever? Some of my herbs may help if I apply them" Bukotsu said rumaging through his bag as he pulled out a medium case about Tetsuo's size as he opened it up. It had revealed all kinds of potions and lotions for pains, some for healing, others for other purposes of healing, some in tablet form, many in vials that appeared to be liquids and healing spreads.
Bukotsu looked over to Tetsuo,"Well? If she has any signs of pains, tell me where it is," Bukotsu said looking for an answer.

Tetsuo was very reluctant to answer Bukotsu. He was concerned about Oni's well-being, but at the same time he did not want a stranger going through her shirt. Finally he decided toward the greater good. He reopened Oni's shirt just enough to show most of the burn, which was now dark purple. "There's no missing something like that. So you know how to use that stuff?" he said as he looked at the various vials and bottles.

"We'll feed her some tablets first to see if the pain is internal, there are no side effects, so dont worry if it doesnt work, but I think you should apply this lotion if the tablets don't work," Bukotsu said handing Tetsuo a vial of clear lotion that would smell of meadows and honey dew, but made simply from a blue lotus he found in the Greenhouse, and a blue herb, mixing it with a catalyst making it dilute. He knew this kind of burn and how to cure such things as a herbologist
"Here, you apply it, if the tablets dont work you know what to do," Bukotsu said carefully feeding her the tablets through her mouth and having her unconsciously drink from his water bottle in his bag.
"I'll be outside if you need me, don't use those other herbs or medicines, some are naturally used for other purposes and quite a few are poisons used in curing and subdoing other poisons" He said as he walked out with his stick.
"By the way, the tablets should also restore her vitality to full strength, she'll be well in 15 minutes or so,and the lotion will not only fix the burn, but have her smelling nice and act as a sun tan lotion" Bukotsu said turning around one last time. Although he was only 17, a millitary student, and a martial artist, he could already produce medicines that could cure many illnesses and be resourceful about his surroundings.

Tetsuo watched Bukotsu leave the living quarters, relieved that he had trusted him with caring for Oni. After all, he felt it was his duty, no matter what form he had taken. After spreading the lotion on her chest, he carefully recapped the bottle to the best of his ability, then set the bottle next to himself and let his feet swing over the couch, waiting for Oni to awaken. "Of all the things I had to send my soul into, I had to choose this thing...." he thought to himself.
Several minutes went by and Tetsuo was beginning to worry. He made his way over to her side and stared into her face. It was then, without warning, that Oni jolted awake, grabbing him by the throat.
"Why do you always wake up this way??? It's sick, youre gonna give somebody a heart attack, keeping this up!"
"I can't believe you werent expecting that after all this time, my friend....so are we alone here?" She set Tetsuo on the floor before standing up to stretch.
"Nope, Bukotsu's waiting outside. Lucky you didnt try that on him. We dont know how he reacts to suprises... lets go meet him. You did promise to help him after all..."
"I guess we can head on away from here. There doesnt seem to be anyone here that can help us..."
Oni unsheathed her right dagger and flipped it into the air. Before it fell back to her eye level, she caught it with a small updraft, and played with it a little; making it spin in midair. She could feel that her strength had returned in full. After putting away the dagger, she and Tetsuo left to meet Bukotsu outside of the church.

Bukotsu turned around and smiled alittle, "Well you look well, are you feeling better?" Bukotsu said as he set his bag down as he walked over to her to examine her if she was well. Stick still in hand as carefully looked at her body, " Well, nothing serious, probably just a burn from this..." He said as he reached into his pocket for something.
After seeing she was fine, he smiled as he held his hand out, "I found your pendant, here.." Bukotsu said holding it to her as he was waiting for her to take it back.

Oni smiled back as she approached Bukotsu."Never felt better, I cant thank you enough..." She looked at his outstretched hand, and found the pendant there. A sinking feeling came over her as she examined it. Quickly removing the expression from her face she thoughtfully took the pendant and put it in a small pouch around her waist, seeing how the chain was now broken. "I've taken up enough of your time here, and I apologize for that. We came here to help you out, so let's move on. We have to find the headmaster..."

"You haven't really wasted my time you know" Bukotsu smiled. He didnt expect all of this to happen, but he now knew many things go on in this school.
"You might think its a waste of time, but I find things like this educational" Bukotsu smiled, "Come on, lets get going he said looking back at her as he was getting his bag and things heading off in the direction of the northern courtyard. He turned and waited for her to catch up.
