(Ikagura’s POV)
I tucked the boy in and brushed back his hair. It was crazy seeing how fast his wound healed. I stood up and closed the door as I rejoined the others. Kiriya looked at his jacket, especially a patch on it. “Strange. This patch looks familiar.” He said to himself.

“Sensai?” He looked up from it and looked at us. “So, you know who he is?” Asuka asked. “Personally, no. But I might know the logo on his patch.” He said, putting the jacket down. “You do?”

“Yes, if I am correct, the patch on his jacket is the symbol of the Gray Knights.” Kiriya said.
“The Gray Knights?” I asked.
“An order of demon hunters. They are a splinter cell of the Gray Wardens. The Knight specialize in Yoma.” He explained.
“So, these guys hunt down Yoma? So guess they are good.” Asuka said.

“Not exactly. It is unknown how, but someone by the name of Alexander became head of the Gray Knights. He figured since Yoma came from Shinobi, he would have all the Shinobi killed.” Kiriya said. We all looked at him surprised. “But, as expected, the Gray Knights didn’t last against the Yoma and Shinobi.”

“So we could potentially have a Shinobi killer in the other room?!” Ayame said, this spooked Hibari.
“No, I doubt he is.” I said. “You all heard him say he didn’t want to hurt us. Besides, it seemed he didn’t know what we were.”
“I am sure six girls with weapons  the weirdest thing he ever see.” Kat said.
“Either way, we won’t know much more until her wakes up. And we don’t know how long that will take.” He said.

Kiriya said goodbye and left. We just looked at (FN)'s room.

(Next Morning, Your POV)
I felt my body toss and turn as I began to have the vision again. Fire, death, Yoma marking through the streets and sitting above all the destruction was that dragon. I bolted awake and say straight up. I then heard someone let out a Yelp and fall over. I looked over and saw one of the girls from before. It was the one with the red ribbon in her hair.

“Ow, what the hell? Why did you just spring up all of the- are you okay?” She asked. I looked at her before looking down at me hands and saw them shaking. I shook my head. “I-I am fine. Just, w-where am I? And who are you?” I asked.

“Oh, right. My new is Ayame, and you're at our house.” She said.
“’Our’, you mean the others are here too?” I asked. Looking around the room.
“Well yeah, that is what I mean. Anyway, they will be happy to know you are up finally.” She said and getting up. “Do you huh, need help?” She asked.

“No, I can do it.” I said and got up. I rubbed my head. “Ow, my head is killing me.” I said. “Well, Katsu Nee-Sama did kick you in the side of the head pretty good.” She said. “Who?”

“You will meet her.” Ayame said and I followed her out of the room I was in. She lead me down a hall and some stairs until I was in the living room. There, I saw the five other girls from last night sitting at a table. “Hay, look who woke up?” Ayame said, presenting me almost. Everyone looked at me and I waved. “Hello.” I said.

(Few minutes later.)
The girls introduced themselves one by one. The first girl as Asuka, who I assume was the leader of the group. Next was Ikaruga, I was glad to know she didn’t mind I hit her. Third was Katsuragi, the one who knocked me out. Fourth was Yagyu, girl I had to knock over. And finally Hibari, who seemed kinda childish.

“Well, guess you can introduce yourself.” Ikaruga said. I was a bit hesitant. “I am (FN). And that is all you need to really know as of now.” I told them. “I am sorry, but I don’t wish to say more.”

“Why?” Asuka asked.
“I hardly know you six. How do I know you aren’t my enemy or something?” I asked.
“You are right to think that. But I assure you, we don’t mean to harm you.” Ikaruga asked.
“In fact, maybe we can help you?” Hibari said.
“Maybe, but it doesn’t matter. It is my mission and mine alone. Now, I would like to get going. Please?” I said.

“I am sorry, but that won’t exactly be happening.” I turned around and saw a older man standing there. His hair was white and he wore a black suit. “What do you mean?” I said, looking at him.

“I told the council about you. They told me to keep an eye on you, and considering your wondering personality. I have to keep you here. I am sorry.” He said.

“Keep me here? Look, I have to get back to my mission. It is important. Please, just let me go. Say I escaped or something.” I said.

“No. Again, I am sorry, but you must remain here.” He said. I felt myself getting angry. I closed my eyes and took deep breaths. “Listen, maybe if you tell us your mission, we can help.”

I sighed. “Fine. Guess I can say a few things.” I said. I was offered to sit and did so. “Well, what do you know about the Gray Wardens?” I asked. Kiriya, as I learned, told his students about, at most, the base of what they are. “Well, that is the base of it. The Wardens serve as guardians of the people. In War: Victory, In Peace: Vigilance, In Death: Sacrifice. Essentially, we were the shield and sword of the people.” I said.

“And the Gray Knights?” Asuka asked.

“We were the sort of, Japanese branch of the Wardens. They caught wind of the growing Yoma problem, and we were sent to help. Tho, we didn’t last. You see, we tried picking a fight with both Yoma and Shinobi. And while our war lasted for three centuries, we didn’t for much longer, and eventually, started dying off.”

“So, how many are you are left?” Kiriya
“You are looking at the last of the Gray Knights. As far as I know.” I told him.
“Are there anymore Wardens?” He asked.
“Possibly. But I doubt they care about here anymore tho. Leave the Shinboi to clean up their mess I guess.” I said. “Well there, told you what you needed to know.”

Kiriya nodded and stood up. “I will tell the council about this, and see what they choose. As for now, I leave you in the girls care.” He said left. I sighed. Well, guess I can try being in one place for more then a few hours.
