Chapter 4: Great White Affair

** Can't fear your own sword. **


Sun had just rised, on a hazy hill, a few figures can be seen.

''So, what now?'' Says a male voice.

''That girl had already gained her own Reiattou, amazing stuff she had there. Trust me...'' Says a recognizable voice.

As the haze begins to fade, the faces can be seen clearly. It's Darucard and 3 unknown fellas discussing something, mainly about Ruri.

''Come on... Ya aren't going to fight this uphill battle with her aren't ya? She's just a lil girl, ya know?'' Says a guy with a cocky voice, biting a toothpick and eventually lied down on the grass trying to avoid the conversation.

''That's why I need you guys, badly.'' Says Darucard.

''Well, I will consider. Any benefits?'' Says a guy with cool mean look, medium-long hair and a very calm voice.

''Darucard Spiegel, ya know? We already quit this kind of thing few years ago. Nah, we don't wanna get our hands dirty again. Ya know, to avoid unnecesarry troubles. As ya can see, we don't oppose the system anymore, we follow it.'' Again says the guy lying down on grass.

There is another guy standing there. With a cigarette in his hand. He had never spoken. Curly hair, wearing glasses and staring at the bright sun rising up.

Darucard shakes his head. And then he says:'' Where are all your spirits? Guys, aren't you all upset about the whole new era thingy made by the dirty Shinigami Organization? What the hell are you guys doing? Trying to live your whole life their way? Come on, WE CAN DO THIS!''

The calm guy with glasses had finally spoken. ''I'm in...''

''What?! Cain, really?'' Says the cocky as he gets up from lying down.

*Bamm!* The medium-long haired guy punched the cocky guy right in the face.

''What the fuck are ya doing?! Lylford !?'' Yells the cocky guy as he is suffering from pain.

"Just a punch to wake you up. You're right Darucard, we are all in.'' Says the Lylford guy.

''What?! But I didn't say anything, what do ya mean by the word WE ARE ALL IN?!?'' Says the cocky guy as he cover his face in pain.

''Just shut up will ya? You are indeed killing me, Tetsuo. Get your ass up, we're getting going.'' Says Lylford.

''This is going to be a blast, guys. I'm so glad that you're all are finally back.'' Says Darucard.

Once again Cain did not say anything. He puts both of his hand inside his pocket as the 4 of them headed back to the farm.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

''Ruri, wake up...'' Says Colt while trying to get Ruri off the bed.

''Just let me sleep for a few more hours, puh-lease???'' Well, maybe Ruri is actually dreaming.

''Gosh, there's no time to wait. You're going to learn the name of your Reiattou, TODAY!'' Says Colt.

And in an instant, Ruri gets up from her bed. She then frightens...

''Where's my reiattou!?!?!'' Says Ruri with a worried face.

She searches everywhere in the room, as Colt tries to interupt her.

''Don't worry Ruri, your reiattou is fine.''

''THEN TELL ME WHERE IS IT?!''

"It's right inside of yourself. Girl, for your information. We don't carry reiattou around in our waist. Those are for old-fashioned warriors. We fused our reiattou together with our reiatsu inside our body. When we wanted to use our reiattou, just tell yourself inside your mind, then your reiattou will automatically appear in your hand.'' Explains Colt.

''Well, try it now.'' Says Colt.

Ruri then closed up her eyes, and from her appearance, there is a serious look on her face. She keeps mumbling those words inside her heart.

And then the reiattou appeared right in front of her eyes. She's holding it in her hand. Blue in colour.
She is amazed and captivated by it. She started to inspect her own reiattou. There it is, her own reiattou.

''Amazing isn't it? I've never seen anything like this before, your reiattou is indeed special.'' Says Colt.

''I wanna know it's name...'' Says Ruri.

''And I wanna destroy the whole Shinigami Clan...'' Says Ruri, this time with a very determined look in her eyes.

Colt is stunned upon hearing those words. But at the same time, he knows that she is the one that is capable of turning over the whole evil organization. She, is, the, ONE.

Just by then, Darucard and the 4 other guys arrived at the scene.

''Well Ruri, let's mee our new friends. They're joining us now, to achieve our goal.''

Ruri is kinda surprised to see 3 strangers set foot inside the room. First guy seems like a real dickhead. Spiky  gold hair, biting a toothpick and that cocky look on his face. Second guy seems nice. Medium-long black hair,  perky nose and wearing a new western coat along with a smile on his face. The last guy on the left seems the coldest. Glasses, silver short hair.

''Ruri, from now on. They will be fighting along with us, and believe me. They're strong...'' Says Darucard, with a grin on his face.

Ruri is once again really surprised with the scene. She keeps staring at the third guy, she knew something was going on with him. Although the third guy doesn't even look at her, but, she can feel that.

''Hi ya lil girl, I'm Tetsuo, Tetsuo Hayama.'' Says the cocky guy along with both of his hand on his head.

''Hi, you must be Ruri aren't you? I'm Lylford, Lylford Vega. Nice to meet you.''

The last guy seems like doesn't want to introduce himself. So Ruri decided to skip pass him.

''Well, I'm Ruri Michalka! Nice to meet you all! Please guide me if I done anything wrong.'' Says Ruri with a cheerful smile on her face.

''Cain, aren't you going to introduce yourself?'' Says Lylford.

''No, I'm going to take a walk. Don't find me until you guys have finally done something extraordinary...'' Cain walks out the door after saying that.

''It's okay Ruri, that weirdo is always like that.'' Says Tetsuo.

''I'm alright... But he is kinda interesting, aren't he?'' Asks Ruri.

''Perhaps...'' Darucard interupts the conversation.

''And now, let's get started. Ruri, time to learn your reiattou's name.''

In a flash second, huge amount of reiatsu is filling the air. Ruri almost choked her lungs upon feeling that. But seconds by seconds she started to calm herself down. And then she lifted her head.

Tetsuo and Lylford are there holding their reiattou. They both smiles.

"Ruri, go get em'!'' Says Colt.

''I won't go easy on ya, girl.'' Says Tetsuo.

Lylford just standed there with his right hand holding his reiattou and his left hand inside his pocket.

''Me too, gentlemen!'' Screams Ruri as she rushes towards the 2 newly-met ''teammates''.
