Chapter 22: Passive Confrontations

???'s Perspective
     "What the hell is going on!!!?" Goddammit!!! This is a disaster!!!
My name is Harold, President Micky Harold. I'm a 72 year old blonde with a great physique, if I do say so myself. The ladies love my young looking face, as I was a Covenant-Class Hunter. I'm not nearly one of the strongest people, but my influence makes me very powerful. The only one I need to fear is you.
It's been a while since the recent attack on Miami. While all the High-Class Hunters were at a meeting, the demons sent three demonic beasts and a Demon Lord to attack, while using two Devils to keep the meeting closed. Even The Spacial Hunter, Ryu, couldn't get us out of the sealing. We couldn't figure out how these high-level demons were getting here and staying for so long.
Now I need to get some proof of internal sabotage, double agenting, be-

     Ah. The Cyber Hunter. "Just who I wanted to see!" This specimen was created for the purpose of protecting our information network as a country and also help as a forensic scientist.
     "Ah! Yes sir!" It gave an awkward bow by dipping its head and looking down.
     "Well, Mr. Chase," I used inflection to belittle the test tube. "do you know why I called you here?"
     "Ah, no sir!" Its ability to communicate seems to be subpar... but that's not what its purpose was anyway.
     "Well, there's something perfect for you."

Keith's Perspective

     Dammit!! "That asshole keeps looking down on me like I'm an object!!" I couldn't keep my composure, not with that guy as my superior. And I can't believe I'm forced to do this to my teacher.

     I went through my teacher's house while everyone was gone. I made sure to mask my sent so I couldn't be tracked, breaking-and-entering 101.
     There were lots of bells. Different sizes and shapes. Some were glass, metal, and other things - they had designs and swirls that almost mesmerized.
     I finally found two hairbrushes, one with very few black hairs, and another tangled with a thin amount of lime green.
     I pulled out a black strand. Using something like stances or taking sides won't work. It needs to be a neutral question...

Obsidian's Perspective
     It's been about a month since the 'Three Demon Disasters'. The president, and vice, have always hated me. I know it's a matter of time before they get me. My brother, and his boyfriend are living in my house with my 'girlfriend' since they got into an argument with friends. Though, neither would tell me about it.
     I see one of my students, Keith. He's a Sergal. I tried teaching him on how to speak normally - but he's still a little shaky with his superiors - and I've taught him how to defend himself. I've always hated how his species is treated. Using kids as weapons. My claws dug into my hand with an iron scent wafting from a wound. How did that happen?
     "Hey, Keith!!"
     He didn't really respond. Looked down and away. "H-hey teach." His voice almost hard to hear.
     My ears perk as my eyes flashed open. I see... "It's fine, not your fault."

Percy's Perspective
     It's the last day of the Spring semester now. It's been a long while since the attacks on Washington DC (Hunter Headquarters) and Miami. The media sent out a large amount of conspiracy the president had spurred on about Obsidian causing the attacks in America and the one in Russia by spilling info to the demons.
     People would slander and attack him in public venues. While there were a lot who did this, the majority of people believed in him, and tried to defend him. Jackson had been drawing away from me a little before this incident and is now, emotionally, not there. A husk of his former self.
     I always thought he was the strong, determined guy, but he has his own issues and problems he needs to deal with. I just wish he'd let me in.
     Another thing I noticed was him going against both Nox and Cindy, so our group has now split apart. I'm between this, and don't know what to do. The stress has been killing me. I don't know how long I can keep this up...

Jackson's Perspective
     I can't believe all this happened! I've been going to school, barely doing assignments that I'd normally do frantically, and I can't even eat.
     Percy has been trying to help, but I keep pushing him away. I know I shouldn't, I don't want to. But why can't I stop!?
     Nox and Cindy betrayed me. They went back on their word. Caleb has given me the info. But then, that asshole was the one who told the government about Obsidian, MY brother!!! He had the gall to tell on them, then do something worse!? What kind of trash friend does that!!?
     Obsidian was arrested while I decided to live in his house after I had been betrayed left and right by my so called 'friends'.
     That bastard didn't get to pay.
