Find that ferret!

[Rasha Sagara]

Ahhh... sleep. Such a wonderful thing to exprience. You're all snuggled up in your bed, nice and warm in your sheets - maybe even curled up like a cat. It's a good feeling getting a well deserved and realxing......

"WAKE UP SLEEPLY HEAD!"

"AHHH!"

I screamed out loud as I fell off my comfortable bed onto the hard floor of my room. A rather loud thud could be heard as my body practically crash landed with nothing to stop it. Ever so slowly with my body on the ground I raised my hands up to the bed and lifted myself up to a kneeling position as my head slowly rose pass the brim of the bed. My gold eyes looked directly at the one who had awaken me so abruntly. I tried to speak in the nicest tone possible, but my slight annoyance sweeped through just a bit.

"Nami...why did you wake me up like that?"

*Not paying any attention to her tone* "You're gonna be late silly... Look I already picked out clothes for you..."

Late?!

My eyes shot open as I attempted to quickly get up forgetting that I was on the floor a bit tangled in the sheets. As quick as I get up, is as quick as my body came crashing back down to the. This time falling face first. Nami laughed at my own expense as I layed there for a moment before kicking the streets off in frustration and slowly, causually getting up and going about my morning business. After doing everything else and finally putting on my clothes I had to admit, Nami picked up a rather nice selection for me. Black slightly fitted jeans with ankle boots that the leggings of the jeans went over slightly. A light blue shirt sleeve shirt hugged my upper body. Oh and she took out my favorite ankle length hooded jacket. Grabbing my small book bag I began to head out the door, but I stopped realizing something seemed odd.

"Nami...where's Miko?"

"Oh.. he went ahead to the school.."

"He did what?!"

In my shockened state, forgetting I didn't open the door - once I turned around to quickly run out my face almost met the door head on, but this time I caught myself. HA! Didn't get me this time! Opening the door I made a run for it, thinking to my self why in the world would Miko go ahead without me.

Honestly I think that damn ferret has lost....his..... my goodness this place is huge...

I said to myself standing on the outside of Arcane Academy. I hadn't really checked it out before, then again I probably wasn't paying full attention. But now I realize how big this place really was. And to think Miko was somewhere in this place. How the hell am I supposed to find him in that?! My golden eyes shifted in their socks as the took in the sight of the huge building before placing the hood over my head and walking in. My light blue hair drapped a little out of the hood as I walked in the building, completely forgetting the fact that Nami had followed me. I can never get rid of that little spirit. There were so many people walking through the halls, so many different kinds, shapes and sizes. Truly some didn't look so friendly. And I say again, I was supposed to attempt to find him in this. A female student was walking by and I attempted to stop her, but she just ignored me and continued to walk by

"Excuse me.. have you seen...hmmm ok nevermind..."

"That was rude!... Hey come back here missy!"

*whispers*"Cut it Nami..."

This is going to be a long day..

I sighed to myself as I started to walk again looking around for Miko. And when I would find him.... I'm getting him a leash whether he likes it or not. I continued on my search for my lost friend, attempting to stop someone, but either being ignored or hit on, or they just didn't see him. This wasn't going well.

{Edit: OOC: Sorry I should mentioned before, but Miko isn't to be found just yet. And I have control over him... Sorry about that I was in a rush when I typed this post yesterday..Oh and noone should be able to see Nami unless they can see spirits or she makes herself known to you. Thankies ^^}

[Jason]

Nice day so far even though it's still morining. that energy focusing class ishelping alot. I should be able to start controlling the amount of mana I use per spell a bit better after a while. Thought Jason as he walked down the halls of the Academy. He had been up since the crack of dawn simply not able to sleep and now was wide awake and looking more alert and eager than normal.

He decided to don a pair of grey jeans and a blue shirt with his normal sneakers today and as normal his metal cylinder was at his hip on his belt. He rounded a corner and his long blond hair trailed behind him getting several stares. he knew alot of the girls were actually jeaslous of the hair he had going down past his knees yet still well taken care of.

He then saw a girl running about obviously looking for someone or something. Spurred by his usual urge to help others when it was clear they would need it he headed over to her wanting to at least see if there was anything he could do
"Pardon me." he said to Rasha and smiled.
"You seem to be looking for something. Can I perhapes lend you a hand?" he asked.

[Zacharia]

Zacharia proudly stepped through the doors of the school. He had a restful sleep, and was ready to begin. Just wait father. Soon, I will be more powerful then you could have ever made me. When that day comes, I'll take my rightful place as general, and you'll be thrown so far in a dungeon that everyone will forget you exist. Yes, he had issues with his father. But, for now, all he could do was attend class and learn all he could. He would learn the most destructive spells he could, becoming the most powerful demon in the entire realm. Once that happened, even his father, feared as he was, would tremble at the mention of his name.

He kept far too much form me. I know my family has more magic that what he taught me. I intend to make my own path, and show him what I can really do. I... He stopped dead in his tracks. There was a familiar aura nearby. He scanned the hall, and stopped on the small girl. He stared in disbelief. He saw the strands of blue hair sticking out form under the hood. It... can't be her... can it? Rahsa? Is that really you? A mix of emotions passed through. He wanted to shout out her name, run up and hug her, cry about missing her. But, if it wasn't her, he would look like an idiot. Would she even remember him? It was five years ago that they hadn't seen each other. Besides, she might be dead. That was the report. He tried to dismiss the thought. No... it would be to much of a coincidence. My mind is playing trick on me, letting me see what I want... what I wish were true. Maybe it wasn't her. But, no matter what he tried to do, he couldn't shake the feeling that it was indeed the demon princess.

"The headband..." He said it softly, barely a whisper. The hood covered it, and that would be a sure sign he was right. She had never taken it off, and was a symbol of her royal blood. Beside3s that, her gold eyes would be a dead giveaway. he could never forget how those eyes had looked into his the last night they saw each other. he was too far away to tell their color, and he wasn't about to make a fool of himself to find out. He was a demon and a noble at that. His pride often obscured things, but it was a part of him. He would reside to following her around. (Yeah... like that won't seem suspicious). He kept at a slight distance, and watched her.

[Raiden Matsutani]

Raiden yawned as he walked down the hallway. Staying out to late was always a good thing to him back in Edo Japan, but now this demon just feels...to tired... Maybe the fact that he slept for 200 years enabled this. It was still early in the day and Raiden was still drowzy. He usually walked with quick fast steps, but to today that normal pace of his would have to wait until he wakes up alittle.

No one would expect a person with electricity running through their veins to be so sluggish today. Raiden was a demon though, so to him he was happy that mostly no one cared. He was kind of happy that no one payed him much attention. He rather go through life without many eyes staring down upon his strange appearance.

Well now...maybe today once again focus will be brought down on this unsually timid demon. Raiden always with his eyes directed towards the floor, never really pays attention to where he's walking. "*Oomph!*" he said as he bumped into someone. Raiden glanced up to see a woman with blue hair and golden eyes.

Timid as he was Raiden took a few steps back and looked away. He then noticed Jason was there also. Raiden then thought back on the last time he bumped into someone, but didn't say he was sorry.

"S-Sorry..." he said in a timid voice. Raiden glanced over again to see the girl again. This one had a strange scent as well...human...and then...demon? Raiden thought back on the half demon he met in that strange place called the Halls of Thor. The guy he fought against was half vampire half human as well. Raiden then caught scent of another person not to far off. The smell was of the full demon category. Before anything else happened Raiden felt he should leave, but he didn't. What if an encounter with another demon or demons should happen again? Will his pleasant attitude dissolve into his old demon ways?

[Rasha Sagara]

Aye...I wonder what in the world possessed him to come here without me... And now I gotta search this huge maze of a building to find him... great...

I thought to myself as I continued my search. That ferret could be a trouble maker sometimes, but he was also very loyal to me and I to him. If anything was to happen to him I'd probably lose my mind. Which I believe I'm already starting to do, considering how worried I am right now. Is there anyone nice enough to....

"Pardon me......You seem to be looking for something. Can I perhapes lend you a hand?"

I guess there is. I paused in my tracks, looking up to the male whom kindly offered his helping hand. My was his hair long, I don't think I could deal with all of that. I woudl definitly have to cut it sometime or another. I heard a small sigh come from my left side, it was Nami. She had her hands clasp together up to her chin and her eyes had that big googly anime look.

*Sighing*"He's cute..."

Oh boy

I looked down to her direction for a moment and then looked back up at the boy and smiled back. Just as I was beginning to part my lips to respond back to the blonde, I felt my body slightly move from being bumped into. A small sound escaped my lips from the slight bump. I looked up to see who it was, and to my surprise he seemed a bit timid but I couldn't understand why. My golden orbs blinked twice before shaking it off and placing a smile back upon my lips.

"It's quite alright... No harm done right?..."

My friendly smile remained as I looked towards the blonde that offered his help before.

"And yes I would appreciate you helping me... I don't think I'll be able to find him in a huge place like this by myself..."

Nami was far too busy staring at the boy to even notice that I just got bumped into otherwise she probably would've said something again.

[Jason]

Jason tilted his head curiously. He wasn't sure who this person or being they would be looking for was. And finding them in such a large place was going to be an interesting task at best. He noticed Raiden bump into her and apologize. he gave a small wave to him having seen him around but never having of talked to him really. Nami come up as well and Jason gave a slight nod in greeting.
"Hello" he said pleasently and looked back to Rasha.
"So who is it you need help finding?' he asked. if it was a student this could take a while. unless of couse he had some traits that stood out. if not a student than it was more likely they'de find him quicker. Of course that might also make it harder. But Jason didn't mind. he liked helping out so thats what he would do.

[Raiden Matsutani]

Raiden let out a sigh of relief that the girl responded in good way. Raiden wasn't afraid or anything, but getting into conflicts were bothersome. Raiden thought though that once again he might have been question for why he's here in the academy with some many other humans around. A demon named Chepros questioned him, making it apparent that he was a demon who took no liking of humans what so ever. Well...Raiden shook off those dark thoughts.

Raiden then looked over again to see Jason waving towards him. Raiden felt alittle more at ease now, it seemed that Jason had welcomed him. Raiden was unsure if Jason would like a demon either.
Raiden silent as always, just smiled slightly and nodded at Jason.

He then listened as they were talking about finding something or someone. Raiden decided he would tag along just to interact alittle more. Raiden needed to interact alittle more to catch up with current times. As far as it goes Raiden still wasn't up to date...a 200 year sleep does that to you.

"Umm...for bumping into you...I'll help you find whatever your looking for..." he said smiling a bit. Raiden could be of some use, pointing out that he finds many things by smell anyways.

[Zacharia]

Full blooded demons have advantages over humans in some aspects. For example, most average humans can't see spirits. Demons, on average, can. Zacharia, for one, was one of those demons, and could see the spirit. not only that, but if he wanted to, he could speak to it. However, he would try to keep that from being known for now. He didn't want to be seen, nor did he want to be heard. Just observe. If this was Rasha... the same Rasha that disappeared five years ago, then he might have a chance to rekindle the love he had for her, and find if she ever felt the same. He could also bring her home. The king would praise him, and all would be well. For the first time in a long time, Zacharia smiled a genuine smile of feeling happy.

He leaned a little more, taking a single step to get just closer. Thats when he stepped on the empty soda can, crushing it and making the loud noise. He quickly pulled his foot back, and ducked behind the corner of the hallway he was standing in. Damn it... if that spirit finds me, there goes my cover. I'll be forced to face her directly. Am I ready for that. What am I saying? I am Zacharia Sephanos, son of the demon general Jallak, and one of the most feared soldiers in the demon army. What is there for me to fear? He peeked around the corner, and his heart fluttered at the sight of that blue hair. Oh... right... that.

Everyone fears what they don't undersand... even demons.

[Rasha Sagara]

{OOC: Umm.. not to be rude or anything, but umm.. I think I might have stated that Nami cannot be seen by others. She's a spirit. Unless one is able to see spirits then one can see and hear her. But she hasn't made herself known to anyone. She's invisible right now. Demons I'm sure could probably see and hear her or even just sense her prescence. Just wanted to make that clear once more.}

Having some help in this situation is perfect... I haven't the slightest clue where to start, considering I'm new around here... aye, this is going to be a LONG day..

I sliently thought to myself as I heard their offer of help. Matter of fact who were these boys, I could feel their aura beaming off them but I only had a face and no name to go along. I believe now would be the proper time for an introduction. My golden orbs shifted between the two for a moment, still not noticing that someone was watching me. Watching me? Last thing I would need now would be a stalker on my hands. But just as I parted my lips to introduce myself, a rather loud noise ran through the hall - the sound of something being crushed.

"Than...hmm?"

The sudden noise broke Nami out of her little daze as she quickly turned around to face the noise, only to catch a small glimpse of someone ducking around a corner. I slowly looked over my right shoulder slightly, my hood shielding my face a bit. Why should a simple sound like that even bother me? Call it being cautious if you wish. I shruged it off as well as Nami, though Nami in her thoughts decided she would pay close attention as she turned back around facing the boys. Now hopefully without any interruptions I can finally introduce myself and finally have some names to go with these faces.

"I appreciate both of you guys help... Well, for starters the 'who' that I'm looking for is my pet ferret; his name is Miko.... He came here ahead of me and well, basically I'm looking for him."

I paused for a moment to let that settle within the air before continuing on.

"He shouldn't be hard to spot.. I mean I doubt you have ferret's running all over this place... Oh by the way, my name's Rasha.. Rasha Sagara.."

I smiled as I extended a hand out to greet whomever greeted me first and I would leave it out for the next. After this little meet and greet then we could finally begin searching for Miko, wherever he is. Where is that troublesome ferret?

--------------Meanwhile-----------------

Somewhere on the second floor, our 'lost' little friend was strolling along down the hallway minding his business. Seemingly going almost unnoticed by the students. A few girls saw him and gave the whole 'aww.. he's so cute!' routine. Miko just keep scampering along, thinking to himself.

[glow=blue,2,300]~Yes... I know I'm cute.. Come on now... Oh stop it... Yes I love you too... Oh you're too kind....Hello sexy!...This place isn't bad..~[/glow]

That ferret... always full of himself. Loyal but full of himself.

[Jason]

OOC: Okay scratch jason saying hello to her. I'll make sure not to respond to what she does for now


Jason gave a grin thinking of what they had to find. A ferret of all things. he knew them to be insably curious and so forth. But it was true that it wouldn't be too hard to find him once they got to the right place and if they asked around.

Jason turned hearing a noise but didn't see anything really out of place. He didn't pay it much mind. Likely a student tripping over something He turned back and accepted Rasha's hand.
"A pleasure Rasha. Jason O'connell at your service He said with a smile and released her hand.

[Raiden Matsutani]

Raiden looked over his shoulder immediately to see where the crunching noise came from. He turned around only to catch a small glimspe of who caused the noise. It must be the other demon in hiding... he said to himself. Raiden attention was guided back towards the golden eye woman.

Although, Raiden was distracted by something else... Raiden felt someone else was here besides Jason, and this half-demon...unseen by the naked eye. Raiden could only sense someone else was here, but couldn't see her...

Raiden looked away again to hear the the woman introduce herself as Rasha. Raiden nodded and said, "My name is Raiden Matsutani."

[Zacharia]

Zacharia knew that name. It WAS her! He was so happy to hear her name. But, something kept him from running to her. He wanted to. He wanted to scoop her in his arms and take her home. But, what if she didn't remember him? it had been five years. She may not want to go back to her old life. She may not want to share her life with....

He shook the thoughts form his head. The one person he had a soft spot for was standing a few yards away. The one he believed dead, and now was here, in the same school, alive. He took a deep breath. He would approach this delicately. He in no way needed to scare her off. He straightened himself out, made sure his sword was tucked away, and stepped out of the corridor he was ducked behind.

He approached the girl, practically ignoring the other two students. "Hello. I couldn't help but over hear your dilemma, and was wondering if you needed more help. Finding a small animal like that would be difficult here." He was hiding the waiver in his voice very well, though the spirit might notice. "My name is Zacharia Sephanos." And I have missed you so much! Please come home! I never got to tell you how I... He cut off that last thought. He had bowed to her, the noble in him forcing him to act proper. Would she recognize him? Would she remember? He had no idea.e thing was certain. He was not going to let her disappear from him again.

[Rasha Sagara]

"The pleasure is mines...Thank you both."

I nodded my head to Jason first and then to Raiden in acknowledgement of their help and their introductions. In truth they were about the only guys who hadn't hit on me since the time I walked through the doors of this school. While Nami was practically drolling over Jason, I had to admit that I found Raiden to be kind of cute. Now that I had my 'search party', I could finally go and find that troublesome ferret, Miko. Just as I was about to speak and carry on with my little... 'cuse me big task - another approached me.

"Hmm?"

My right brow perked up slightly as a blonde haired demon approached me. My golden orbs stared into his reds, caught in them for a moment as he ever so politely spoke. Demon so polite.. a rare thing is it not. Hmm.. a rather polite demon and a rather timid one before me, how odd. I listened intentively and watched as he introduced himself to me as, Zacharia Sephanos. A rather small sharp spark of pain went through my head upon hearing that name. My right eye twicthed slightly to it, but shook it off seeing him bowing. I took my hood off fully revealing my face. My long blue hair flowing out, and my golden band shimering a bit in the florescent lighting. Gently I spoke back to him.

"Please, please... there's no need for that... I much appreciate your politness and helping hand.. I could use all the help I could get.. Thank you Zacharia, but please there is no need to bow to me like I'm some kind of princess or something.."

Boy how little did I know I was wrong about the princess part. But that's what memory loss would do to you. Nami finally looked over and saw Zacharia noticing that he was the one from before that was hiding. She just stared up at him with a supicious look on her face. Giving the whole 'I'm watching you' feel.

[Zacharia]

She doesn't remember me, or her life in the demon realm it seems. Memory loss? Perhaps she blacked out her past on purpose to move on with her life. Either way, I will not loose you again. He smiled, trying to hide the hurt he felt. "Sorry. It is my upbringing." He looked to the spirit floating there and giving him the suspicious glare. He smiled at it.

"You can relax my incorporeal friend. My intentions are noble." he knew that he would appear insane to all but the girl before him, but it didn't matter. He had found Rasha after his long search. He could try to help her remember, and maybe bring her home. All he had to do was be patient. He knew the spirit and the ferret were new, since he knew full well she did not have either companion when they knew each other. Letting his sorrow give way to his joy of finding her, he was pleased to be a part of this rag-tag search team. He glanced and acknowledged the other two.

"Forgive my rudeness. I didn't mean to ignore either of you." I will keep an eye out. If either one of you attempts to steal her away, I will hunt you down. he kept these thoughts hidden. He had no reason to believe either one would pose a threat to his task, but he couldn't be too sure. Trusting those on the mortal plane was not a trait many demons possessed. Zacharia had conflicting thoughts about this, his mother and father being so very different. But, for now, the only concern he had was to find this ferret!

"So, what does our furry little friend look like?"

[Raiden Matsutani]

Raiden head turned to see that the other demon in hiding came out. Raiden simply glanced over at him looking at his features. For the most parts the guy appeared to have a human appearance except for the horns portruding out of his head. Raiden thought back on his demonology teacher, and Chephros who's appearance showed they had a more demon like complex. This made Raiden feel alittle more grateful about his own appearance. Although a part of him wished to look like that.

Raiden whisped those thoughts away to the back of his mind to pay attention to whats going on around him. Raiden looked over at the other demon again as he spoke to him. The guy sounded pretty polite. Raiden just simply nodded in a gesture that it was okay, but remained silent which was the usual thing for him to do...with no disrespect of course.
