A Ghostly Teacher Indeed...

Etoielle huffed at her apprentice's question. "It's my duty as your supervisor to make sure that you are well." She would never admit that she was concerned for him as well. "I spoke with Undertaker. He's going to look around DMD to find out more information on a little mishap in the library."

Sanguis cocked an eyebrow, "Our library? What mishap was that?"

Etoielle sighed. Honestly she shouldn't be suprised about this shocker. There had been so many lately that she felt quite numb. "Someone stole the last page of my brother's cinematic record."

Sanguis's eyes widened. "Someone stole a cinematic record?! That's crazy...." Also, there was something else strange about the theft. Than he realized it. Why go to the trouble of only taking the last page instead of the whole thing? Maybe to bait Etoielle.

"This has never happened before." She said. "I was thinking of going to the CEO, but what if the CEO was who did it. There's someone working for Kronox here at DMD. No one else without an ulterior motive would have taken it and I'm sure that pages do not just 'fall' out of a cinematic record."

Somehow Sanguis knew if it was possible for pages to fall out of cinematic records, it would've happened to him. "So, what do we do about it than? There are too many shinigami working here at DMD to check them all out, and even if we had time, there'd be no way of finding them out anyway." Even setting this incident aside, the damage an inside agent from Kronox could do... it was unthinkable!

Etoielle pinched the bridge of her nose. "I don't know. Undertaker is investigating, but I think that we will need to lay low and try and speak of this dilemma only when no one else is around... Even then we will have to be careful... How long do you think it will be before you are better?

Hah, if Undertaker was investigating, the inside agent would regret taking the job if he was found out. Undertaker was... well, him. Enough said.

Sanguis shrugged. "Gimme an hour, I should be fine."

She threw her hands up in the air. "By the first Deathgod, thank GOD!" (LOL! That was so ooc, but it had to be done. XD)

She got up and nodded to Sanguis. "I'll meet you in the library, then. Next to Undertaker's huge-ego-statue."

(Sanguis has so many ooc moments. so that's k.)

Sanguis didn't even try to hold back his laugh at Etoielle's ooc moment and her description of Undertaker's statue. Hoping she assumed it was just at her remark about Undertaker's ego.
"Alright, I'll be there." He managed through his laughter.

An hour later he, felt like brand new. So, he got out of bed and headed for the library.

Etoielle smirked as she remembered her smart- bunghole comment about Undertaker. It was the first time in years since she had been able to make a joke. Perhaps she was talking to the old shinigami too much... It was rubbing off on her!

She spotted Sanguis and nodded to him.

He nodded back. "So what happens now?" He asked as he walked over to where she was waiting.


(oh hey, I never wished you good luck on your recital this morning, did I?)

Etoielle sighed. "More training." She was reluctant to teach Sanguis any other moves on the Aneiyajuu... "Undertaker will hopefully report to me today with information on who ripped the page from my brother's cinematic record... I was going to ask him if he would train with us. Hopefully he'll come with us to Kronox."

(LOLZ! It's kay. XDDD I kind of failed, but it still sounded pretty good. XDDDDD)

Sanguis sighed. "Joy..." More training wasn't exactly something Sanguis was ready to jump right into. However, he knew he needed to learn basics and probably even some higher level flying if he wanted to survive against Kronox. "Wait... does Undertaker have an Aneiyajuu?"


(I've never heard you play, so I can't honestly comment.
when you say you failed, is that in your opinion, or did the people over seeing the recital say you didn't do good?)

Etoielle paused. "In all honesty... I don't actually know..." (It's up to you if you want him to have one or not. The more the merrier, I say! XD)

(In my opinion. There were people who actually did do worse than me, but I missed a few notes and lagged a little bit since I was accompanied by a piano. XDDDDD)

(than have one he shall >:3)

"As a matter of fact, I do." Came a voice from right behind them. Sanguis jumped, he wondered how long Undertaker had been there, he never heard him come in. Sanguis respected him and got along well with him, but God was he creepy sometimes.
"Jeez, that scared the crap out of me! Dang you Undertaker, you should have a bell or something..."


(...if you think you failed, you probably didn't.... >.> but again, I wasn't there, I can't judge.)

(Yey! )

Etoielle blinked. As prepared for the unexpected as she was, even Undertaker appearing out of nowhere made her jump a little. "And I never knew of this?" She asked, a little shocked at the fact that a crazy man such as him was even allowed to have one. Oh... wait... Sanguis was allowed one so I guess that would make sense. She tapped the side of her cheek, deep in thought. "Undertaker, you never tell me anything these days."

Undertaker chuckled, "Now if I told you everything, I'd soon run out of things to talk about."
Sanguis shook his head, "So, what's his name?" "Oh, I refer to mine as a she. And her name is Shinohime. She's a giant raven." Sanguis had to think for a moment, but he was pretty sure Shinohime meant 'vacation(s) Princess.' (me: sorta... it's suppose to be 3 seperate words, but I just made them all one XD) Fitting for Undertaker really....

(LOL! I like the name! and it is oh so fitting. XDDDD I wonder what Sebastian would so if he knew that his cousins were being enslaved into Aneiyajuudom? XD)

She sighed. "Really, now. I was one of the only Shinigami to ever have an Aneiyajuu. I truely think that I should have known about this... anyway, have you heard any word of who stole it?" Her voice was but a low whisper now.

(Aaaaaaand *drumroll* this is where you get to make up part of the story! I totally don't know where this is going, so you can make up who ripped the page out and why they did it. Yay for creative liscence! XD)

(I try. and hahaha, he would be disgusted or he wouldn't care. XD and oh dear, I have to be creative O.O I shall do it. I shall use... my brain! >:3)


"Well, my dear, I'm retired, so I don't qualify as a shinigami that reports to you." He said with a giggle. Than he took a seat and placed it to form a triangle between the three. As he sat down he interlaced his fingers and rested one leg over the other. "Now than, on to the matter of those records. It was a man named Felix Collins. He used to be a shinigami after my time, slightly before yours. He only lasted a year before getting fired for reasons I couldn't easily find, nor did I deem important to this situation. I did however find out that he is currently out free lancing. He specializes in stealth work, spying, stealing, and occasional assassination. Despite wearing a mask and dark clothing most of the time, he has orange hair, unusually pale skin and is 5' 5". Kronox hired him to steal those pages, aiming to taunt and demoralize you, Etoielle. They seem to be lacking in the stealth department themselves." Sanguis cocked an eyebrow, "So you managed to catch him?" Undertaker frowned a little. "No of course not. He's very good at eluding people, hence his specialization." Both eyebrows went up now. "If he's so good, than where did you find all this out?" Undertaker grinned, almost literally, from ear to ear. "Now's not the time for that story. I can guarantee my report is 100% true."


(Hah, came up with something XD)

(Be careful! You don't want to strain it! I know how difficult this is for you. XDDDDDD JK! )

Etoielle harrumphed and pouted a little, but decided against it and listened to what her teacher had to say. She sighed. "Great. So not only are they taking a blow to my pride, but to my emotions, or as Sanguis would say, the lack thereof," She glanced at Sanguis with a look that showed that she was joking, of course. "and are trying to... demoralize me?" She raised an eyebrow. How can someone demoralize another who doesn't have that many morals to begin with? I follow instructions, yes, but please. I have nothing against behaving cruelly and showing no mercy. She thought.

"Perfect. Just perfect. And to top it all off it is a man that specializes in killing. He wouldn't happen to be the one killing shinigami from other divisions when they're out on the job, would it?"

(no you're not jking as much as you think. That took my like forty minutes to type, hahahah, I'm not even exaggerating...)

Sanguis had a retort ready, but than he saw Etoielle's look that said she was joking. Instead he replied to her confusion she seemed to show at being demoralized, "They want to make it harder to fight."

"Quite. Now, on to those deaths. Not all, some are legitimate accidents. But a great many were this Felix. From I know though, he's bad at combat, only quick, discrete assassinations. Even Greil could take him on in a face to face fight. You two would have no problem with that. It's getting him into that situation that's the problem.

(Oh god! LOL! Now I feel bad!)

Etoielle smirked. "Really now? Even Grell? Now that's something you don't see every day. Perhaps we should put the feminine redhead in charge of catching him." She paused for a long time, a frown becomming more and more evident on her face with each passing second as she imagined what could happen if that idiot was actually put in charge. "On second thought, bad idea... don't..."

(naaah, I need to train my creativeness if I wanna have a chance of developing my own story XD)


Sanguis glared, "Ummm, didn't he say it would be hard to catch him. Fighting him is the easy part." Undertaker smirked deviously, "Actually, I already managed to get Will to do my dirty work and start looking for him. Even someone as annoying as him can be useful. Hehehe"

(LOL! I wish you luck! )

Etoielle stared at Undertaker, her mouth slightly agape. No one else except for her and the two Shinigami accompanying her at the moment were supposed to know. "How much information does he know?" She asked, a slight edge to her voice. If Undertaker had told William anything about her brother she was sure that she'd jump right over her chair and strangle her teacher right here, right now.

(thanks ^-^ btw, you coming wed to the anime thingy?)


"Oh, I told him something precious of mine was stolen and gave him more or less what I told you. Nothing about what was stolen and he didn't care, he was curious but he didn't dare press me." Undertaker grinned at the last few words. Sanguis personally didn't blame William, no one in their right mind would press Undertaker for information.

(Yeah, I'll go. See you there! What time is it at again? I vaguely remember 7, but I might be wrong. XDDD)

Etoielle sighed with relief. "Thank you... Then when should we start practicing? I believe that Sanguis, here,-" She motioned towards said shinigami with her thumb. "-needs to improve more, although I daren't try anything too harsh since I nearly shattered his bones earlier."

(LOL! "daren't"... I've always wanted to use that word! )

(6:30 see ya there!)



"Whenever is convenient. I got someone to take care of my shop for me, so I'm free around the clock." Undertaker didn't even hint at it, but he was eager to see Shinohime after so many years.
Sanguis gained some comfort at Etoielle's promise of not trying anything too hard, but he still knew it would be trying work.



(btw, when I went back to check the spelling on how to spell "Shinohime" I realized it censored and said 'vacation(s) princess' it was really "dea th princess" ^^'
and now I kinda wanna say daren't... I'ma be looking for a chance to say it now >:3)

(Yessir! )

Etoielle shrugged and got up. It was typical Etoielle to want to get started right away. She was never the patient type. "Then let's go. Faolan and Grecion are down by the canyon. Undertaker, I'm assuming that Shinohome is at the Aeikrouks' stables?" She asked.

(LOL! That's okay.

Daren't. It's such a fun word to say! )

Undertaker and Sanguis also stood up. "He was, but the moment you mentioned bringing the Aneiyajuus into this, I summoned for her to be brought here. She should be with Faolan and Grecion as we speak." Somehow, out of everything, this didn't surprise Sanguis. It actually seemed like common sense when he thought about it. However, it was a little surprising that Undertaker had a method of contacting the Aeikrouks. He didn't dwell on it, he just started walking towards the exit with the other two.



(lol, Shin and her censors...


it really is )
