The sky outside was blanketed by angry black clouds. They let loose with a torrent of rain as they let the world hear it's roars of thunder. The lightening that flashed revealed a figure walking down a now muddied path. It was hurrying to an inviting looking building next to the road.
The building was brightly lit and from inside the figure could hear the raucous of a few yelling fights and the others inside egging the fighters on to physical fighting. The next flash of lightening revealed the name of the establishment. The Seven Hells.
It was a demon bar and inn. Shrugging its shoulders the cloaked person walked in and removed their hood, looking around. The talking and yelling slowly died down as the demon inhabitants realized that it was an angel that had entered the building.
The angel removed her very light pink now soaking cloak and set it on the rack to dry. She had thick black hair up in two ponytails at the side of her head with long bangs blocking one of her soft pink eyes She has on a baggy white shirt and a dark blue skirt with long black boots. Attached to her sides are fans with in easy reach. As she walks toward the bar the smell of sakura permeates the room.
She sits herself down next to another cloaked figure, this cloak was a deep red. A soft yet masculine voice comes from underneath the hood. “What do you want?” it asks.
“I won't tell you till you remove your cloak.” The angel said “It's rude not to look a person in the face when your talking to them.”
The person sighs before standing up and removes their deep red cloak and placed it on his bar stool. The demon had silver hair and silver with flecks of red eyes going along with his youthful pretty boy looks. He was wearing a skin tight clack vest with black pants that started out tight but became loose as they got lower, the pants were covering steel toed boots. Attached to the waist of his pants were two silver chains. The demon sat back down. “Happy now, Star?”
“Yes, thank you Ryu.” Star said happily as she smiles at her demon friend.
The bartender comes by and stares dumbly at the angel who would talk so casually with his boss. Stammering nervously the bartender tries to warn her. “Y..you should b...be more ...re...respectful of him...mi...miss.” He is now sweating heavily
“Nah. Thats okay.” Ryu says to him.
At that moment the senior bartender comes up and silently pushes the new guy toward some other customers. “Well Ryu. Thought I'd never see the day when you would willingly converse to someone!” She says jubalently before turning to Star. “What can I get'cha hun?” The demoness bartender had cropped dirty blond hair and deep forest green eyes. She had a skimpy dress that accentuated her thin waist and ample bosom.
“Um how bout 3 Wise Men. If you have it I mean.” Star asked
“Sure thing hun.” She walked off to mix the drink.
Ryu chuckled at Stars expression. “Don't mind Sythe she's always like that.” He turns to stare at her. “now what do you want?” He takes a sip of his beer. “Well you know how I'm in the service of the the Holy Etheir Temple of the goddess Solatia as a holy warrior right?” She asks as Sythe sets her drink in front of her. “You a holy warrior, Ryu?” She asks incredulously.
“Yeah, so?” Ryu gives her a look plainly saying stay out of this conversation cause its no business of your own. “Geez." Alright already I'm going.” Sythe holds up her hands in surrender as she backs away.
“Yes, I know that but what does that have to do with what you want from me.” Ryu said as he turns his attention back to nursing his beer.
“Well, apparently the goddess wants me to look for the elemental staffs.” Star says which causes Ryu to spit out the liquid he was about to swallow.
“Elemental staffs? As in the the four staffs of legend?!” Now it's Ryu's turn to stare.
“Hai” the raven states before continuing. “Anyway I figure I'm going to need help finding these four staffs and I thought of you.”
“Why me me?” Ryu asks as he motions for another drink. “Well, Ryu, you've been everywhere practically and know how to find things and gather info with out anyone being the wiser.” Star says knowledgeably. Ryu just snorts. “Oh come on Ryu where your sense of adventure?”
“I don't have one” He states.
“Yeah right.” Star sighs before realizing something “You know she did mention that someone else was going to be after the staffs as well.” That piqued Ryu's interest. “I guess since you won't come along to help I'll just have to fight them for myself. Possibly against those who are stronger than me.” She gets up to leave and has just turned around when...
“Wait.” Ryu says “I never said I wouldn't help you. I'm just coming along to test my fighting skills against others thats all. Sythe give me two room keys.”
Sythe comes over and hands two gold keys to him. He hands one to Star before heading up stairs. Star stares after him for a bit before starting up to her own room. She knew that Ryu didn't mean that. He really was going along to make sure nothing happened to her because after all deep down he really did care about her even if he didn't care to admit it.
