Starting Fresh! [Yukine's Fateful Return]

So this was the place where it all began: Sabertooth. Yukine could remember all of the memories here. Indar, Viola, Victoria, Zenneth; many were there to support Yukine on his first day joining a guild. It was a glorious day for both Yukine and his Regalia then, and it still was now. He looked up and stared at the large signs from a distance while he approached the actual building slowly. This place had changed quite a bit, though not to bitter extents, but rather a new era of happiness. The only thing Yukine wished was that he could appear in the guild looking like the young man he entered this guild in, at first. It was hard to believe that ten months ago, Yukine stood in this very position, nervous about everything that once stood before him, and even more hesitant while he was in the guild hall. This was not an issue now that Yukine had come here for the second time.

Yukine kept walking until he came across the guild's front door. "So many memories..." Yukine muttered. He was really eager to open this door, regardless of who was inside. He could still feel that warm vibe just from placing his hand on the door, though once he did, Yukine felt that nervousness sink it again. He laughed softly to himself, calling himself a baby in his head and rolling his eyes for a moment before he chose to knock on the door. This was going to be his day; the second time that fearsome Sabertooth guild crest would be on his chest. This was his time to shine in a place Yukine found he truly belonged. Yukine's brightest smile came about once he figured he should just open the door instead, and so he did. "The Ace of Spades..." Yukine thought once he opened the door. It seemed noteworthy moments were going to come from the same place Yukine met all of his first friends ten months ago. He took a seat near the bar, ordered a raspberry vodka like the good old days, and relaxed himself.


"So cool..."

The back haired female aimlessly walked around the guild hall of Sabertooth. She had nothing better to do. Riley had decided to take a day off from excitement and relax for once but if only she knew how much she's be regretting it, now she did. Taking a break from doing exciting stuff was probably the stupidest decision the dragon slayer eve made. But that decision didn't really make a difference because there was noting fun to do. Riley didn't know what she was expecting but she needed to do something to get rid of this boredom.

It had already been a few months since she joined this amazing guild and there was no place she had t explored. She didn't personally know everyone in the guild but she could recognise them by their faces and general appearance. Then the girls eyes landed on someone seated near the bar. She was pretty sure she had never seen him around. "A new member?" She asked no one in lenticular. Riley walked over to the bar before tapping the man on his shoulder. "Hi! Are you a new member here?"

Yukine looked over, the touch of a finger against his shoulder. So there was somebody here, after all. "I have been on the list before, actually..." Yukine replied with a small laugh, "My name is Kichiro Yukine. I left after a population crisis, but after ten months, I have returned." Yukine looked over to his raspberry vodka and questioned himself for a moment. Was this not the very liquid that got him plastered on his official first day in this guild hall? Yukine sighed, and finished it off quickly, then followed with a glass of water. He probably looked ridiculous in front of Riley at this point in time, but his health mattered more.

"So what's your name?" Yukine asked, "Frankly, you're the first person I've come across in my return, so getting to know you would be nice. I plan on staying here, anyway." Yukine gave Riley a warm smile while he was seated nicely, even more comfortable now that he was accompanied by a legitimate member of the guild. He felt ashamed for leaving so selfishly ten months ago. It left it to wander into a Dark Guild that really made no sense for him to partake in, which led to another disaster. He ended up having to join Eclipse Soul to amend for his sins. Well, thankfully, he was back here, where he knew he would be accepted no matter what, and not lose his vibe no matter what. He made a mistake back in Eclipse Soul only getting attached to a select few members; members that disappeared by their own faults at some points, though Yukine's, as well. He sighed just thinking about this on the inside. He really needed to start anew, which is why he was here. "Would you mind giving me a tour too?" Yukine added, "It's been ten months since I last came across this guild, you see."

Riley sat down on the chair next to the one where the young man was seated. "My name is Riley and it's a pleasure to meet you Kichiro." Riley replied with a grin on her face. She loved meeting new people, no matter who they are. Kichiro, especially, made Riley curious about his reason for leaving. He said he left because of the population crisis but for some reason the young dragon slayer wasn't exactly satisfied with this answer, yet she chose to let it go. What mattered was that he returned, not why he left.

Listening to the young man's question, the black haired girl's grin widened. "Of course, I'll give you a tour. A lot has changed. The guild's become pretty cool. Follow me." Riley got up from the chair she was seated on and began walking ahead. She wanted to start a conversation. "So what kind of magic do you use?" The young girl has always had a curiosity for such things and Kichiro looked like a very interesting person. Although Riley did not know him, she had a feeling that they would become good friends In the future.

"It's a pleasure meeting you too, Riley!" Yukine commented. He began to follow Riley the moment she stood up and walked ahead of him. It was nice to know the person were still as caring as they used to be ten months ago. Well, at least Yukine assumed that from one person, so far. "I use something called Sekki." Yukine replied, "It's a type of ReQuip magic." Yukine wouldn't get too in depth about his magic unless Riley asked. It was impossible to describe in one sentence, anyway, so Yukine wanted to see if Riley had any further interest in the matter first. He waved goodbye to the bartender while he followed Riley out of the Ace of Spades, and elsewhere in the guild.


"Perhaps I should ask you the same question, Riley." Yukine remarked, "It'd be good to know just as much about my guild members as they know about me, anyway." Yukine caught up to Riley at this point and smiled while they walked in sync. So far, Riley seemed like a very nice person, and Yukine hoped their relationship would get even better as time passed. Luckily, this was only the first day, so Yukine had tons of time to achieve this goal. He wondered where the other guild members were located in this guild so he could meet them too- that is, if they were even here. Riley was definitely interesting, but Yukine found the more the merrier when it came to friends. He also required the chance to meet the Guild Master, who was not actually rumoured to be Zenshin, surprisingly. Maybe Zenshin had moved on while Yukine was in another guild. He felt guilty for abandoning this place just because he felt so alone...

Melyre just woke up in her dorm room as the light rays, she rubbed her eyes before standing up and going to take a quick shower. When she was done she dressed up with her usual clothing and went outside her room to the guild hall when she saw Riley her teammate talking to someone she hadn't seen, she thought for a second to see if she really didn't know him but she couldn't think of anybody, so she walked up to them.

'' Hi Riley, whats up, is this a new member '' she asked before looking at the man standing next to Riley. '' I'm Melyre, nice to meet you '' she said non the less she liked meeting new people, so she just introduced herself to him.

Riley had always had a liking for Requip magic. She found it fascinating how people can requip into different armors and weapons. She smiled at Kichiro. "Well, I'm an ice dragon slayer and I use slayer magic." She always liked her magic, it was beautiful in her opinion. She continued smiling at him as Melyre waled over to them. "Ohhai Mel." She waved at the girl walking towards her and watched as she introduced herself to their newest/old member. Riley didn't know what to call him so she was just gonna stick to calling him kichiro.

Her eyes landed on a hooded girl walking in her direction. The black haired female instantly recognized her as Kana. Who else would wear a hoodie and headphones with music blasting from them. She was about to raise her hand and start waving when Kana spoke up. Riley's mouth was left hanging after hearing what the girl standing in front of her had to say. "W-what? N-no there is nothing like that. " Riley didn't know how to react in situations like these, so she ended up stammering and internally face palming at her stupidity. She cleared her throat and tried to act mature. "I'm just welcoming a new member."

Finally more people! While Yukine was already being escorted elsewhere in the guild, it seemed two more women had caught up in the meantime. One was a black-haired woman, while the other was seemingly green-haired with a hoodie and headphones. Yukine smiled warmly for the two, and turned his body towards them. "Nice to meet you, as well. My name is Kichiro Yukine, but like Riley, you can just call me Kichiro. Some have even preferred "Kichi" or "Yuki", for short reference." Yukine waved to the two females, though once he came across a sudden comment from the hooded woman, he sighed annoyingly. This comment made him forget about the mentioning of Slayer Magic. "Slayer Magic has always been unknown to me, Riley. Perhaps you should show me what it looks like sometime." Riley should have been able to tell that he was sort of disappointed from the comment too.

"Riley and I have no special relation." Yukine informed, "Never do I plan on making loving relationships from first-meeting someone." Yukine found it awfully rude that the green-haired woman chose to comment on him like this instead of even greeting herself first. Maybe she was unlike the other two, and could not speak so formally. "Riley, you shouldn't let people get to you like this." Yukine did not know what to do at this point in time, and so he felt like asking these two women something he also invited Riley to show. "Let's make this meeting interesting." Yukine remarked, "Riley here asked what my magic was, so I want to show it to you all. Three versus one." Yukine looked over to the bartender from afar. "Where's the best place to fight?" Yukine asked.

Riley looked between kana and kichiro simontaniosly. She was shocked to hear that he wanted to fight the three females all by himself. She sighed. She didn't have a problem against fighting, she just thought it would be unfair for Kichiro. "You guys can fight but count me out." To be honest she wanted to fight, but she also didn't want o hurt a fellow guild member, especially after he just returned. She had a feeling that kana would brawl against him but maybe he can handle that. She had no right to underestimate him. Maybe he's far stronger than the three of them. He seemed pretty confident about his magic. Riley smiled at that. The black haired female wanted to observe the fight, If they have one, to determine Kichiros strength. She could tell that the young Man was very passionate and confinement.

Melyre just looked at Kuchiro when he said he wanted to fight the three of them. Kana had accepted the fight, but Riley declined. She thought for a few seconds, she wanted to see her limits in a fight if he is that strong to be confident on wanting to take three people alone. '' Why not, it seems as it's going to be fun '' she said with a grin, before following Kana's idea of fighting outside. '' Let's go '' she said as she started walking to the outside area of the guild. Where she got to one side and waited for the others to get ready.

"Not too close to the guild though..." Yukine remarked, "It would be bad for me to cause damage on my first day of returning, let alone all of us together." Yukine followed the three outside, though one of them declined the offer to battle. Perhaps she would join in on the face if it seemed interesting, or rather have a duel with Yukine at a later time. Yukine would also accept the possible fact that Riley may not be interested in fighting unless for important matters such as jobs. He sighed, and distanced him seventy-five feet from the others, pacing backwards in case one of them chose to unleash a cheap maneuver. He kept walking further in this odd form until he came to a halt, a minute in time passed just to position himself with the others.

It was time to show these two what a Sekki Mage could really do, especially the Sekki god, in that matter. Though the spirit of Yato currently inhabited Yukine's body, and though it was the lowest ranked Regalia in his own dimension, "Riley, please be the judge." Yukine requested. It was only fair to have a judge in case things got out of hand. Yukine grew even more excited regardless of the fight still being idle; yet to commence. Yukine had his left arm extended forward, while his right arm rested downward. His right hand was positioned so anyone in front could only assume it was in a fist, though it was actually an open hand; not clinched. It was time to take two fellow members out at once.

Riley walked with the rest outside the guild and walked to the side and leaned against the wall as she gazed over the three who were getting ready to fight. She simply nodded as Kichiro requested her to judge this fight. She stood there, curious and wanting to see the returning mage's magic. She suddenly felt something near her foot. Her gaze shifted from the battlefield to her left leg, where Theo stood. The young arctic wolf looked at his master before tuning at the three mages preparing to fight. Riley could make out that Theo wasn't very happy with the thought of guild members fighting each other, even though they meant no harm. The female bend down and patted her pet's head and didn't say a word, just looked back at them and awaited the fight.
