Other than Rai, Lilith had only one other option to track. That was Kiba. It wasn't long before that oh so recognizable energy trail lead her straight to the swordsman. There he was, in a place no one could get to, unless of course they had wings or a big jump like Yuuto, in a clearing marked off limits; if not before than ever more true now.
"Kiba!" She called. He didn't hear her. What the Hell...?
Kiba himself looked terrible: his hands were bleeding, the soles of his feet had worn away and the bottoms of his feet were rubbed raw, his sword was chipped in several places and his hair was practically dreaded. The sword strokes themselves were slow, and labored, the knight using all his might to drag the sword up over his shoulder and then sloppily clang it against the tree he was working on. The trees in the area were stumps; so it was now clear this clearing wasn't there before Yuuto.
"Yuuto!" Kiba stopped. She called him by his given name? But it was only a momentary hesitation, and he was at it again in no time. "...Kiba Yuuto!"
"... Go away!" He didn't face her, only kept plugging away.
"NO. I won't. You've gotta snap out of it, Kiba." He finally put his sword down. "You know how many fights I've lost? How many times I--"
"You what? Couldn't protect the ones you love?" His voice was raspy from dehydration. Apparently he'd been training all night at full intensity.
"... Yes, as a matter of fact."
"Oh really? And what did you do!" Kiba turned around slowly. His eyes were ice.
"I... I trained." Lilith had to admit it: although you couldn't really die from Succubus training, she did exactly what he did. "But it was different with me. Illusion training can't destroy your body as fast as--this." Kiba turned around and picked up his sword, thoroughly done with this conversation. Lilith jumped and grabbed his sword hand. "No! You can't, Kiba, you'll destroy yourself--just stop!" He was so strong, even in his weakened state, that Lilith had a hard time containing him. Eventually though he would calm down. He sank to the ground and covered half his face with his hand the other hand punched the ground several times before Lilith stopped that as well by embracing him.
"I just wanted.... To fight. And to protect my friends."
"I know." Said Lilith in a way which meant "shh."
"That devil... He was so far above their levels. I couldn't let them fight him."
"I know."
"...What do I do?"
"Rest. You can beat your brains out tomorrow."
"No! I have to keep training. Until I'm... Until I'm... Good... enough...." Until he was out cold in the Succubus' arms Now she could finally take him home. She didn't need him killing Xenovia with renewed vigor tomorrow. Hopefully Rias would understand.
Lamia had decided to stay the Hell away from whatever was happening at the school. Lilith hadn't answered her texts in a while, which could only mean that chick was in updo mode and already taking names. The Succubus took to roundoffs and some neat little tumble progressions in the grass--you know, to relax--and had began stretching her legs on a bench while texting Janus:
"After noon delight!"
"Cute..."
"You wanna know who?"
"You wanna buy me food?"
"I'm thinking twelve more by sundown."
"... It's sundown now."
" emotion_awesome " when a russling of leaves on the main path told her she wasn't alone in this still evening.
(Meant for either Melanie or Misty.)

Melanie Du Coteau Sacred Gear:Vritra's Tail: Devil's spine.
Stealthy, strong, long reach and flexible. The black dragon's tail was one of it's many deadly assets. The tail itself is a wonderful yet terrible weapon. You see, the tail feeds on the host's spine until it completely devours it and takes it place. This not only grants the bearer full use and potential of this gear, but if the tail breaks... well you may get an Idea of that would happen to your body.
It it said that the tail holds a personality of it's own, vicious and vindictive, it requires constant dotting and spoiling to keep it at bay. Legend tells Vritra made people squirm and screech their lifes out of their lungs to ease it's tail and lead it to a tranquil slumber.
The rustling bushes would soon reveal the redhead's silhouette, her semblance was a little down at the moment. She still had much to digest after her last talk with Janus. Melanie felt a little selfish, being so self centered she didn't even knew Lamia was there. Her eyes pointed forward but saw nothing.
This little adventure at the camp tossed quite the burden on her shoulders. Some truths she rather not take to the face, but they were exposed now. And she had to learn to live with them.
The blue haired demoness on the other hand, appeared to be radiant, full of herself. Creating quite the contrast between the two succubus. One with the cheerful spirit, and other which dwelled within her defects.
The Succubus could sense Melanie approaching. It was an aura she'd seen develop quite a bit in the time they'd known each other: from that cocky kid, to the intrepid go-getter, to the more honor-driven, and finally to this melancholic slug calling herself Melanie. She stood up straight and set her leg down in the cool little pile of leaves growing beneath her.
"Melanie! What're you doing?" She waved the pawn over in hopes she was in the mood to talk for once. "I haven't seen you in forever! ... How are you?"

Melanie kept sulking within her own turmoils, that is until she heard Lamia's voice calling for her. The voice was warm, cheerful, as if a pair of invisible arms held onto her, comforting the redhead, giving her a reason to smile back at Lamia rather than keeping her gloomy face. It was quite the similar effect she felt from Lilith, of course, with a lowered dose. But very similar none the less. Like mother, like daughter.
The redhead lifted her gaze in amazement, that she didn't even realize Lamia was there until she actually called her. "S-sempai!" She replied nervously, as she was brought back to the land of the living from her bubble of thoughts. There she was, the blue haired succubus which seemed to care for Melanie's adventures so far. The redhead made her best to keep herself calm and sat by the succubus's side, before those eyes of Lamia would force Melanie to confess her situation so far with Janus and her training camp. Strangely enough, she felt relieved after she finished her story. Would it be that Lamia held such effect on her as well?
"Comere!" Lamia immediately ran to Melanie and glomped her. It'd been so long! "How are you??" That question, as it so happened lead Lamia on a journey back into the labyrinthine estate of Janus Androgyne. Nods and the occasional "aww!" were given as the story was told, and by the end of it Lamia was holding Melanies hand like the good sempai she was.
"I'm so sorry! It's not easy throwing away your old life. ... I should know. Anyway, you need a win. What if I take you out and show you how I get contracts?" Lamia smiled warmly enough to melt a glacier; would it melt Melanie's shell?

Sitting by Lamia's side, she felt defenseless against the barrage of tender care an attention she got from the pink haired succubus. Melanie even felt embarrassed for feeling bad just a while ago. Just what kind of person was Lamia?
As she offered to aid her on getting contracts, Melanie's face lit up. "W-would you really help me sempai?" She asked, with a glint on her eyes, passionate about this possibility. Maybe, if she could get enough contracts, she could come back and earn Janus's respect once more. She held onto Lamia's hand with both of hers, waiting for her answer with hope in her eyes.
"Wow, this is really a big moment for you, huh?" Lamia couldn't help chuckling a little at the emotion_kirakira and its strength in Melanie. But eventually that time in that little hut with her clay came back to her and brought with a weathered smirk in the chrome-orange sun of early evening.
"I used to get that excited when I first started too." She thought about it for a moment, and decided to tell Melanie. The senior Succubus pulled away from the bench and motioned for Melanie to follow. "Come on. I'll tell you a story on the way." And with that the two would be off to finally initiate, again, Melanie in the ways of the succubus.

Soon enough a week had passed and Anise was ready to make good on her promise. The case of Alistor was a delicate one indeed; her role not so much to seek and destroy, or even to investigate directly, so much as it was to simply watch him and see what he observed. This was the way she preferred to approach the more dangerous targets, and with the denial of backup for this mission it appeared as if she was going to face an ancient house alone. Walking along the central path toward a large fountain, these and more thoughts filled her head. She rehearsed them over and over, preparing for the worst. Needless to say, something about the demon put her off.

Wait... It's time... You were right... ....!
The mirror opened and they were all teleported to the park. He breathed the fresh air, fresh and early. It was morning, dawn to be exact. He didn't like the chilling feeling the early sun gave them, but it was more then that. It was fate, predetermination that they were in for trouble. When they came out of the mirror together, they stepped out of the typical bathroom. It was morning, no one was honestly around so they all traveled out together. "I am sensing what i've feared" He said to Jezebel as she clung to his arm. He gave her a small kiss and they made their way to the park. He wanted to address Zoey and Twin-chan. The connection they had, a gear and their master fornicating like that was odd. Did it distract Zoey? He wouldn't know but he had his pieces and they rolled up to the park. "Wait." He told them as they got to a couple of benches and he spotted Anise. "My contact is here. Everything I have been fighting for is coming true" He said as he took Jezebel and embraced her. The kiss was long and hard, and he felt every bit of her before he moved to Anise. "Early morning for a call. But I assume that's not you i'm feeling?" Alistor said as he stood, hand in his pockets. He stood away from Anise, just in hearing distance. Alistor looked to the sky, the way the wind pulled the leaves off the trees and everything moved. "This is my house. We won't attack. They are even held off as I assume we're going right to battle" Alistor said as he looked to Anise. He needed to establish trust, fo the information that Anise had would be very important. ooc: Story time
"House"
Astaroth
"Passives"
Torture Touch: Alistor can't stop his tortureous ways. When he touches someone who is not used to him, or is touched by someone who is not used to him, they begin to feel like they are being tortured in the very pits of hell. It is always slow at first, maybe a shortness of breath, then maybe a bit of dizzyness until a lung starts to feel like it's being stabbed into and a tendon is being ripped from the bone. More often, the longer Alistor is holding you, the worse you feel.
"items"
The Keeper Alistor uses a pocketwatch in battle. It can be used to hit people for it feels like a normal pocket watch in someone elses hand but when in Alistor's hand, the pocket watch will hit as if it is a mace. The Keeper has two other forms, Gun and Knife. These forms are activated by turning the latch of the pocket watch in certain ways. Keeper gun Form By turning the latch to the right, the keeper turns into it's gun form. What better way to keep up with the long ranged people then by shooting from long range? Also blowing out someone knee caps can be really painfull. Keeper knife form By turning the latch to the left, the keeper turns into it's knife form. This is Alistors favorite form, as it has been used so much to torture so many that is has become red and stained with blood. Alistor's go too form is this weapon and he will use it for quick strikes to certain area's to make sure that he can hit a vital spot to bring down his enemy and begin the torture session he wants the most.
As the came out on the other side and Alistor kissed Jezebel right away, her heart skipped a beat for a moment. She tried to stay focused, but her master made that very hard these days. It seemed like she wasn't the only person who had a hard time focusing. The twins looked like they had been very busy together. She looked to them with a smirk. "Nice bed head, Zoey... Did Twin-chan play with you again?" The queen was stopped by the king before she could continue and as he felt her up her heart was beating very fast and the blood rushed to her head. She was swaying a little bit as he left her so quickly and she almost didn't sense anything else. Seeing him talk to another girl though, made her sharpen her mind more. She sniffed the air. There was an unnatural chill in the air, even for a chilly dawn like this. She would know... she used to cause them for others. The queen watched Alistor as he was trying to figure out what the whole situation was about. He had taken his new form with the short, white hair in bobby pins, wearing a white suit. Jezebel blushed. Her master looked so handsome these days. He always did, but... there was something new about him now. As he introduced them all as his house, she straightened her back and looked back at the twins to make sure they behaved. As Alistor mentioned that they were gonna fight soon, she looked to him a bit anxious. What was really coming? She wanted to ask, but she also wanted to seem proffessional. Jezebel looked at the girl he was addressing, waiting for her respond instead. Maybe she would give them the information he was already asking for.

Cotton Shorts Kid
Piece/Gear/Abilities:
Piece: Queen Piece Worth: 9 Gear (sacred/regular items): Magical Mirror/Scythe. It traps people that looks in its reflection and only Jezebel can release them from it if they agree to sign a contract with her. Then she turns the mirror into a scythe and kills her victims.
Active: Item transformation Can turn one item into another item, not limited by shape or size. Can only do one item at a time. Active: Illusions Creates illusions in people's and animals minds, usually to make them see creatures that don't exist to lure them into a certain direction or just to make them go crazy. Active: Pain manipulation Makes people feel pain even thogh they are physically okay. The pain could be any kind, cutting, bruising, pounding or burning. Only stops when Jezebel wants to, who can increase the pain if they seem to resist it. Someone with a blessing power could however make it stop as well, but the human cannot stop the power him/herself. Active: Invisibility Jezebel can turn her whole body invisible for anyone, demons as well, weather she's in her demon form or human form. She would still be detected if someone bumped in to her, since her body still is solid.
Note: Since Jezebel has been with Alistor for several years and been touched by him many times, she can now tolerate pain a lot better. Here's a scale of how it works: Light attacks: 1.5x damage Dragon attacks: 1x Devil attacks: 0-1.8x Succubus/Incubus attacks: 0-1.6x

Zoey Banks ? Sacred Gear:Vritra's Left eye
The left eye of the black dragon, it is said that this fearsome foe had the ability to perceive and identify it's opponent's weakness with just a look from its left eye.
While the legend or rumor hasn't been cleared out, it does increase the wearer's knowledge. Allowing him or her to quickly remember and identify weak spots on foes he or she has discovered / fought before.
Zoey fell on the ground Exhausted.The rigorous training had pushed her beyond her human limits. She had been in contact with that demon side of hers . However, the more she knew about twin chan, the more creative her gear became. The poor Zoey became once again Twin chan's dinner. The next morning she was still dizzy, having visions on what had happened last night. That was until she heard a teasing comment from her favorite house member. "J-jezebel sempai!" The girl was startled at first, she even tried to fix her bedhead. "How have you been? Alistor sama had put you trough a lot as well?" Given her training had been mostly by herself and twin chan, trying to figure out Twin chan's weakness to learn how to control her. She had barely seen anyone during all the week.
"Call?" Anise turned and started looking at the new and improved Alistor with her dissecting gaze. "I'm just honoring our little deal. You wanted to meet out here, and as luck would have it upstairs went for the proposal. That other thing," she explained, "is something that's being taken care of." That is to say out of her jurisdiction.
"... You brought the whole house? That's nice," she commented blankly before offering a casual nod to them all. "Anise Faye, Eight Card in the deck of Archangel Gabriel. ... What can I do for you all?"
