Keiko smiled up at Raiden. I mean how could you not? He was so cute, funny, innocent, and he just had this way about him that made you want to stick around for a while. She chuckled at his reaction to the phone but at least now he knew what it was and how to use it. Not to mention they were buddies now. And so as they walked she slide her cell phone back into her pocket so that it would be there in the case of an emergency.
It was then that Lucian caught up with them and she waved at him as he looked at the map. Now she didn't hold his hand because there was something rather menacing about the tattoo covered man though she didn't know why.. he just didn't look like the hand holdy type. Why a demon and not a human did you could never ask Kei because she really didn't know but there was just something about her buddy Raiden that made it all the more fun. Lucian asked them if they wanted to split up. That she was all chummy and comfy with Raiden and if they would like to question the townspeople while he went and looked into the house.
Raiden seemed like he was going to answer and then fizzled out in the end and she just chuckled. Silly boy was gonna have to learn how to speak up for yourself.
"Sure! Sounds like a super spiffy idea if you ask me!" she said happily as she squeezed Raiden's hand gently. "We'll go talk to the town peeps and you go to the house. Good luck!"
She and Raiden continued walking towards the town and she smiled up at her newfound friend.
"So where do you come from originally?" she asked looking up at him.

After they had decided what to do. Being that Lucian would go to Salibus's house and Raiden and Keiko would go into town to question the town's people of the recent events that have been happening recently. Raiden in some senses wasn't really surprised, but many questions kept running through his mind. Why would Keiko chose going with a demon...over someone of her own kind...it was strange. Raiden would never guess that someone could be attracted to a demon like him. The answer would probably be the same answer his human mother gave him when he asked her that question a long time ago. Simply...maybe its just love....
"So where do you come from originally?"
Where do I come from? He glanced back over at Keiko when she asked him that question. "U-um...well I'm originally from Japan," he said quietly. There may be reasons as to why demon like Raiden acts so sheepishly, he wasn't always so sheepish. In the past, his personality was completely different. So different...it may even scare people away from him. "S-so...where are you originally from Miss Keiko?" he said returning her question.
After she'd answer Raiden would probably continue on with her into town where they would start questioning the town's folk. They walked into town together still holding hands. It was kind of embrassing because Raiden's never been in a situation like this, but as polite as he could be he wouldn't up and let her hand go, or he doesn't what to let go of his newfound 21st century guide.
Raiden walked over to a group of people standing by a fountain in the middle of the town square and quietly asked them if they knew who Mr. Rotes was and then asked if they've noticed anything suspicious of the guy.

"Silabus Rote?" The man replied, looking oddly at Raiden. He then took a gander at his outfit, wondering why he looked so Anachronistic, "Well, we don't know him.... But even since the forest fire, people say he's been acting weird"
Another man in the circle of friends then spoke up "Yea, Silabus was said to be the first one to see the fire, in fact, he was in the woods when it got started. By the time we found him, he was half mad and coherent. By the time he came around, he kept on talking about seeing ghosts and gods, and that magic really did exist"
From behind, the girl accompanying these two guys soon started to speak in her high pitched voice. "Me and him were friends for a while" The woman said, in reference of Silabus "We were close at that, why I even wanted to Up our relationship for a while, but since that fire... I don't know if I could be seen next to him...He was always so calm and relax, but now look at him..."
Soon realizing what she had just said, the woman looked away to think to herself before facing Raiden. "Anyways, we tried to check him in a mental hospital, but they keep on saying that he wasn't insane..... I'm pretty sure you're crazy when you start yelling out that magic is real and that you saw a god..."

"You're from Japan too?! Me too! I'm from Tokyo it is a really busy city but I bet you know that anyway." she chuckled softly.
They walked down into the town and Keiko looked around. There seemed to be people everywhere apparently it was a popular city that or the recent events just had everyone out and about but regardless they had questions to ask. And so Raiden and Keiko walked up to a group of people and keiko opened her mouth to speak when to her surprise shy Raiden did and she smiled so proud of him.
They were answered on several points which only sparked more questions in her mind. It seemed that Silabus was around when the fire first started which was an interesting development if you asked her. And then a woman came out saying that she had a thing for the guy but now he was weird. Talking about magic and seeing a God. Keiko thought for a moment about what she wanted to ask the people since they were still standing here.
"What was Silabus doing in the forest before the fire? What was the God.. or what did he look like? And what is this magic he talks of?" she asked those three questions of the people that were there but never once let go of Raiden's hand.

"I dunno" The woman solemnly replied "I assume he'd be in the woods since he was the closest one there. In fact, he is rather isolated from the town, the woods surrounding all sides of his house. As for the god and magic, I don't know. Last time I saw him, which was about two weeks ago, all he could keep saying was that he saw a god in the form of what he called th "Classical" elements; Fire, Water, Earth and Wind. What this means, I don't know. And as for magic, well, all he could say was that he could "Sense" these things now..."
With that, the woman let out a heavy sigh as she rested her bottom on the edge of the fountain, looking oddly at the two.
"So tell us, why do you want to know this?"

Lucian nodded and a ghost of a smile past his lips as he watched Raiden and Keiko go off arm in arm. The two of them were...cute together. Lucian shook his head a little, he had just used the word cute, he was definitely going soft. Maybe it was the time he had spent with Madelyn. He sighed softly and wistfully as he thought of Madelyn and his feelings for her. He loved her, he wanted to be there for her and her children, unfortunately it was a love that would never be. Lucian could never live up to Johnathan's memory and he knew she was not comfortable with the idea either. He shook his head a little again, how he wished he had met the small, silent girl who had helped him open up before Johnathan had, maybe things would have turned out different.
Lucian made his way towards Silabus' house carefully. As he walked he pushed his thoughts of Madelyn to the background for the moment. He decided he'd have to go see her after his mission was over, they needed to have a talk and he wanted to tell her how he felt. Even if she did not return his feelings he just wanted to put them out in the open, to let her know he felt that way about her.
He came to a stop near the house and watched it carefully, "Seems normal enough," he said with puzzled expression. Lucian made his way towards the back of the house, thinking that there had to be something amiss, it just did not seem right that a normal human could evade the Tracer's memory wipe. There had to be something else going on...

Meanwhile, on the inside sat Silabus, sitting across his table as he nervously strummed his fingers. Holding his hand to his mouth in a philosopher fashion, the man uneasily turned his head left and right..
"Where are they" He mumbled to himself, trying to remain as calm as he could. "I know the monsters are out there...waiting for me. They're trying to kill me, for knowing too much... Already, I can imitate them..."
With that, the lights in his house suddenly turned off, covering the house in darkness. Silabus, still afraid, regained his composure to look calm as he sensed something near his door. Quietly getting up, the man walked to his back yard....Where he saw Lucian...
"Hey!" The man yelled out, quietly reaching for a nearby shovel. "What are you doing here?"

Lucian was investigating the backyard. It was all so unbearably normal. There was nothing strange about this man, not that Lucian could detect so far. The backyard was completely normal, a brick patio with some furniture, a small stretch of green grass that lead to a small white shed. Lucian shook his head, crossing one arm over his chest, the other resting on his chin as he attempted to think this scenario through. He started the series of events over through his mind again. Something was going on here, this man Silabus Rote, was a completely ordinary gentleman who lived a completely ordinary life. A few days ago he had witnessed an elemental ravaging through the forest and setting it ablaze. The Tracers had arrived to control the situation and wipe the memories of the witnesses. However, Silabus was apparently immune to the spells that the Tracers used to wipe memories.
Lucian shook his head, this sitaution was becoming increasingly more puzzling. The more he investigate and the more he learned about Mr. Rote, the more questions he had. This man was so normal it made the whole situation utterly bizarre. It was ridiculous to think that a man so normal would be able to be immune to memory wipe spells. In fact Lucian would have never believed it, had he not decided to sign up for this mission.
He was so lost in thought he almost did not see Silabus come out of his house. In fact it was not until the man shouted that Lucian noticed his presence. He whipped around quickly and came face to face with the man that had been reason he was so puzzled at the moment. He noticed the man grabbed a shovel and Lucian put his hands up.
"Please sir, I'm part of a paranormal investigation group," he said, quickly making up and excuse for him to be here in this man's backyard, "We've heard that you experienced something out of the ordinary and i was sent to investigate," he said taking a step towards the man, "Please Mr. Silabus..if we could just go inside, I'd like to ask you some questions about your experience," he said, taking another cautious step towards him.

Raiden nodded and took in all the information the group by the water fountain had given him and Keiko. Raiden's mind for a minute trailed back to the briefing room and the info he learned there on the case. Also the information given to him at the gas station by the Tracer also came up. 'Hmm...information given to me now does some correct when matching up the info. from Kenji and the Tracers...but why and how would some regular human be able to with stand the Tracers memory retrival spells?' he said to himself.
"There's no mistake that he's encountered the Elemental, but it doesn't explain why Mr. Rote's memory isn't able to be accessed by the Tracers. The Elemental must've did something...or was it some one else?" he said referring to it as a rethorical question. "Anyways, Miss Keiko and I are apart of a simple paranormal investigation squad. Erm...we where sent to investigate Mr. Rote's connection with the Elemental...." he said finishing his sentence off with a sigh.

The three people moved back, their eyes raised as they listened to the bull (To them at least) that these "Paranormal Investigators" were spewing.
"Elemental? Tracers? Mind Wipe? Who the hell are you people?" The group yelled before they turned around, shaken by what they heard.
Soon enough, the group moved into a dash, probably going to run off to tell someone important. Not to worry, for as they ran off, a Tracer disguised as a regular person began to trail behind the three, mind wiping spells ready.
"You guys better hurry on to Mr Rote's home" The tracer mentally messaged tot he two "I can sense something big is about to go down...." ________________________________________________
"Paranormal Investigators? I know! You're with D-13 aren't you! Or even worst, you're one of those Tracers!" Silabus yelled, his hand swiftly reaching over to the shovel. "Look, I don't care who you're with, but get the HELL off of my home, already I had to deal with your kind before, I don't want to deal with them again!"
With that, the man quickly rushed back inside his house, slamming his down. Inside, one could hear a gun being cocked, a large gun....

Lucian's eyes widened as the man immediately started to accuse him of being part of the Tracers or D-13. Wonderful, not only was the man able to apparently be immune to Tracer memory wipe spells but he knew all about the Tracers and D-13. This man was not only dangerous because he had witnessed a magical being and could possibly spread that knowledge to others but he now knew about at least two secret magical organizations. If his knowledge of these organizations were to get out, some normal people might actually believe him. That would certainly not be good for anyone in the magical world.
"Mr. Rote please wait, I just..I need to talk to you," Lucian said, still holding his hands up as a sign that he had no weapons on him as he made his way towards the house. He hoped he could talk the man down and then finally get some answers to all the questions he had about this mission.
Lucian stopped in his tracks though when he heard the gun being cocked, "Please Mr. Rote, there's no need to get violent," Lucian said, but even as he said it he activated his Knight's Armor spell. His body turned to metal and he carefully made his way to the house. He wanted to talk to Silabus but he was not going to be stupid and approach the house without some safety precautions first.

Raiden finished off explaining his and Keiko purpose for even questioning these three by the fountain, but their reaction was something Raiden didn't understand. He's only been alive and awake in this world for atleast a month now, so it was extremely frustrating how he could adapt to anything or anyone. All he knew, was that these people don't exactly like Tracers. "W-Wait! I'm not a tracer...." he said as his voice went back down into its low shy pitch. "Maybe I shouldn't have said anything..." he said looking away as the three suddenly ran off. Any courage he had built up now was crushed, but atleast they wasn't yelling Demon! Demon! Demon!
Just then Raiden heard the Tracer...but inside his mind. Someone talking inside Raiden mind gave him...a disgusting feeling, but Raiden wasn't going to worry about that now.
Bloodlust...
Raiden's pupils narrowed into slit's when a strange feeling had reached Raiden's mind. A chill went up Raiden's spine though...this demon could sense the feeling of bloodlust eminating from the direction of Mr. Rote's home. Without saying another word Raiden grabbed Keiko's hand and rushed off to Mr. Rote's house in a hurry.
Raiden reached the area of Mr. Rote's home and his sensitive hearing picked up Mr. Rote yelling, and the ka-chinking sound of something. Raiden looked around to see where Lucian was. Raiden remembered he had split up leaving Lucian to reach the house first. Raiden didn't yell out his name, but instead traced Lucian by his smell which lead him and Keiko around to the back of the house. That's when Raiden reached the corner of the house peering around to see Lucian and Lucian probably being able to see him.

Looking across to a picture of himself not so long ago, Silabus cocked his rifle as he looked over his door window, seeing that Paranormal Investigator hanging over his yard. His Suddenly though, as if by magic, Silabus "Sensed" another's presence here, coming in from a different direction of the house. Gripping his rifle, the man prepared to jump out to attack his new foe...when suddenly, suddenly...He sensed something. It was huge and powerful, and it was something these Investigators should be able to sense. If anything, this power reminded him of that...that god he met in the woods during the night of the fire. Quickly taking his rifle, the man jumped out of the window, glasses shattering all about him as he fired shots into the forest. Rushing to the woods, which laid a good distance away from both Raiden and Lucian, Silabus ran deep into the forest, his speed unnatural as he fired more shots into the woods, echoing down the trees. Soon enough, he melded in with the darkness... Objective: Follow Silabus

Keiko saw the reaction of the people in the city and she furrowed her brow. She could understand though, being scared of magic. Not being able to believe the unbeliveable. Because in all honestly most people didn't beleive in magic it wasn't something that most people would accept. Sure you could read books and think that what you were reading was really neat but that didn't mean if you saw it you would jump up and hug somebody.
Raiden grabbed her hand and soon they were running right after the Tracer had told her, that they needed to go. She ran with him her skirt flaring softly as she kept rather easy pace with Raiden. She smiled happily as they ran hand in hand. But she knew something was going on. They reached the house where the man was said to live and Keiko peaked out the corner. She saw the man with a gun pointed at Lucian. Keiko readied her paper so that she would be ready the moment that she needed to create a shield.
But it turned out it wasn't necessary. The man suddenly burst through the window and headed off into the woods. For a moment she could only just stand there and blink but soon she went into action.
"Come on! We have to follow. Something is going on out there and we can't let our only information source die!" she said still holding Raiden's hand she began to run taking Lucian's hand to so they could get to the woods together and not lose each other.

Raiden peered around the corner and spotted Lucian. It appeared he was talking to someone, but who? Raiden was just about to walk in the direction of Lucian when suddenly the glass window of Silabus's house shattered.
Bang! Bang!Bang!
Raiden covered his ears from the large over bearing sound. Dust was kicked up impairing vision onto what happened. All Raiden could see was some guy rush out of the dust cloud into the forest. Raiden was in awe at first, but shook it off. Just then another chill ran down the demon's spine as he felt something extremely powerful in the forest. 'C-could it be the elemental?' he said unsure. Raiden broke out of his thoughts when he felt himself being tugged along by Keiko.
They were heading torwards the woods, but it seemed to be the wrong direction. Silabus was very swift at getting a good distance away from everyone that he was out of sight. The only possible lead Raiden had was Silabus's scent. Raiden gently tugged on Keiko's hand and nodded in the direction Silabus ran off to.
Running through the woods Raiden felt he was getting torwards this powerful being he felt before at Silabus's house. Things were going to get dangerous. "B-Be careful..." he said.
