Northern Main Military Base

[Toshii]

Tosh and Takashi waited in the open grasslands, a good distance away from the base which loomed over the area. Tosh had dyed her hair a dark brown and put her hair into a ponytail, wearing a white T-shirt, a black, waist length vest and a pair of jeans. Takashi dyed his hair dark blue and ruffled it some, making it a bit messy. He wore dark blue jeans and a black T-shirt.

"I hope they won't be able to notice.." she sighed.

"Don't give your hopes up so early." takashi said, looking out for Dante.

Dante approached with a steady and calm walk. He saw Tosh and Takashi and approached them. "Nice disguises."

[Toshii]

"Hehe, I'm just lucky the dye only last a few days. I wouldn't wanna lose my natural hair color for a while. :/" she said stretching. Takashi nodded. "So are we ready?" he said. "Yup!" Tosh responded.

[kotaro7914]

Dante nodded and walked up to the gate. “We are here for the promotion ceremony for Xenith. I'm Dante, this is my sister and brother.”

The guard nodded and opened the gate. “Down the hall to the left.”

[Toshii]

Tosh and Takashi followed behind quietly as they walked inside through the gate.

[kotaro7914]

Dante led them through a couple corridors till they reached an open room, filled with military personnel. A large stage was ahead of them, a podium on the stage. "He should be somewhere here. Mingle, but don't get found out." He said walking through the soldiers.

[Toshii]

Tosh followed behind him, nodding and looking for someone easy to ask. Takashi kept vigil on where Xenith is, his eyes turning yellow.

[kotaro7914]

Dante gently made his way past the soldiers to the stage. His eyes landed on the familiar figure of Xenith. He glanced at Takashi who's eyes had turned yellow. "Easy..."

[Toshii]

Takashi narrowed his eyes as Dante pinpointed Xenith. He wasn't unsure why but a hidden rage was building up inside him, he clenched his fists. "Sorry..." he said, letting them loose.

[kotaro7914]

Dante nodded and walked toward another group of soldiers. "Stay down and let him do his acceptance speech before we act. Mingle with the crowd. Talk, but don't draw to much attention."

[Toshii]

Takashi nodded, sighing his anger out. He followed Dante, noticing that Tosh got seperated from the group. "Hey, what happened to Tosh?" he asked.

[kotaro7914]

Dante noticed Tosh was gone as well and started scanning for her. "Damn! We got separated."

[Toshii]

Takashi growled. "Gah! We gotta look for her..." he said looking around.

[kotaro7914]

Dante was already scanning the crowds. He couldn't find her. "Where could she have run off to?"

[Toshii]

Tosh was looking around for Takashi and Dante when her hand is grabbed. She looked up and saw the face of Xenith, who is staring down at her. However, he was just 2 inches taller than her and reminded Tosh of someone. Her face went pure pale and her eyes widened. She feels like she is seeing a ghost.

"T-Tsuba.....?" she muttered in pure disbelief.

Xenith just smirked saying. "It's so nice to see you again, Shii."

[kotaro7914]

Dante saw Tosh grabbed by Xenith and he gritted his teeth. "Follow my lead." He whispered walking toward them. "Xenith," He said with a smile. "Congratulations on your promotion."

[Toshii]

Takashi followed behind, his eyes glowing yellow. He felt his rage building again. Tosh still stood in awe still when her arm is released. She heard Dante and snapped out of it, looking to him. "Dante!" she said.

Xenith looks up smiling. "Ah, thank you." he said looking back to Tosh.

Takashi narrowed his eyes in anger, being silent.

[kotaro7914]

Dante saw the sudden snap of Tosh when he approached. He was glad he had used Dante and not Kotaro. But then their was Takashi, getting angrier by the minute. "I see you have met my friend." He said motioning to Tosh.

[Toshii]

Xenith just smiled. "Yes, we're actually old friends." he said casually and in a happy manner. Tosh's eyes widens slightly as she looked down nodding.

Takashi tilted his head confused. "What..?" he thought.

[kotaro7914]

Dante's smile disappeared and was replaced with a frown. “Tosh, who is this?” He asked.

[Toshii]

Tosh sighed, a solemn look on her face as she said "My childhood friend a long time ago back when I was a child of poverty..." Tosh looked up at Xenith. "Who should be deceased..."

Xenith chuckled to himself. "Yeah, I should be. But we'll talk about that later after this." he said walking away, stealing an evil glance at Takashi. Takashi returned with an angry glare.

[kotaro7914]

Dante's gaze followed Xenith as he left. He saw the anger between him and Takashi then looked at Tosh who still looked bewildered. he looked at Takashi and sighed. "Calm down Takashi. I think I understand this, but right now I want to know more about him." He looked at Tosh. "I won't fight unless he attacks us Tosh."

[Toshii]

Takashi paused for a moment before letting out a sigh, his irises turning back to the magenta color. "Alright..." he said, a bit unsure as of right now as well.

Tosh nodded, still shocked about Xenith being the person the took care of her and is also suppose to be dead.

[kotaro7914]

Dante looked back at Xenith. "You don't have to if you don't wish too, but what happened to him?" He asked. "A childhood friend that helped you. I understand why your shocked."

[Toshii]

Tosh sighed, taking Takashi and Dante to the audience seats of the ceremony. She closed her eyes, supressing her sorrow. She hasn't talked about her past in a long time. Tosh calmed her nerves before saying "My parents were a part of the military. When they saw that they were corrupt, they went to the Fuhrer and complained about their wrongdoings. The experiments, Chimera, a lot... and they ended up being shot down on the spot."

Takashi's eyes widened. He felt a small pang in his chest, not sure what it being but he continued listening.
