Today had started off like any other day.
Or at least it had been until a few spirits had decided to possess some students wig out in the middle of Shadow Sciences class. Spirits that had been released from a certain ancient Egyptian tablet once held at the Domino City Museum, to be precise. How did he know this, you ask? Let's just say that if the panic and rumors flying around the school like wildfire hadn't been enough of a hint, then what he had seen with his own eyes from outside of the classroom in question most certainly was. Torrents of water, flashes of light, searing heat, and spreading darkness... It was like something out of a table-top RPG come to life.
It was why David had decided to pay the Slifer Dorms a little visit this evening. Why, you may ask? Why hadn't he stood against the spirits wreaking havoc at the school this morning? Simple. Even if he could've somehow force his way into the classroom, he still wouldn't have been in a position to do anything about what was happening in there. Not against four of the seven Attribute Spirits by himself. The bottom line was that David needed time to prepare and he needed help. Allies who had been touched by the Spirit World just as he had.
Allies like one Shizuma Matsuna, for example.
Which was why David had come to stand outside of Shizuma Matsuna's very own doorway just as the sun had began its descent below the horizon. Or as David had so grudgingly come to call him... Mr. Boyfriend. Sure, he realized that Shizuma probably wouldn't be all that happy to see David at the moment, but that was hardly an item on David's list of things to care about. Especially when human souls were at stake (but especially Hathor's).
Knowing that, David rapped a few times on Shizuma's door with the back of his knuckles and then took a step back to avoid being trampled over if Shizuma happened to come shooting out. He was wearing the white hood of his Obelisk jacket over his head and his hands had already migrated back into its deep front pockets. When the door eventually opened, he lifted a hand out of his pocket and pointed a finger lazily at Shizuma. "First... Two things." David said to Shizuma once he had seen him. "First... I told you so. And second... I need your help. And I think you're going to need mine and more if you're going to have any shot of saving Hathor."

Well, she had been about to knock on the door, but unfortunately another boy was there first. And of course, Mizuki in her shy nature would not and could not intrude. In fact she just simply stayed outside of the door and off to the side, behind David. She was wearing her Ra uniform, the uniform that she had left the class in, and she knew that all of the students had escaped from news around the school. So, she had come to Shizuma's room... since Shizuma was the last person that she could confide in now that Will was possessed.
Will...
She squeezed her contacted eyes shut. She was wearing blue contacts now, since she had gotten different types of contacts now that Will had broken her glasses and her shell. Now that made her even more depressed... She pushed her fingers together and then clasped her hands, bowing her violet hair over her eyes.
She hated this... how was this ever going to be fixed? This was what rang through her mind as she stood behind David.

Shizuma had been in his room since the incident in the classroom. His mind in turmoil after all that had happened. Right now both Ginchiyo and Irou were with him trying to calm him down. To see one of his friends possessed by that being...it awoke an anger inside of him like nothing most had ever seen out of him.
*knock, Knock*
That was when he heard the sound at his door. Placing his deck down on his desk, he started towards the door...
"Shizuma...calm yourself...being worked up will not help this situation...nor will driving away anyone coming to you. Remember your manners." said Ginchiyo in her normally serious tone of voice.
Her hood was down and her shoulder length Jet Black hair stood motionlessly as she very slightly turned her head to face her charge. Irou nodded in agreement to Shizuma now currently wearing his Black and Purple Samurai Gi and a pair of old style glasses on his face instead of his visor. Shizuma nodded to them both then opened the door saying...
"Hello, can I help you?"
And that was when he was thrown the words that David had for him...big freaking surprise there on what he said at first. The question was how was he going to react to the second one...during this process he looked behind David to see Mizuki there. She seemed just as troubled as he was at this point...and he couldn't turn a friend away.
"Come in...both of you." said Shizuma as he backed into the room unsure if either of them could see Ginchiyo and/or Irou.

"It's not just this person... there are others too." She said in the smallest voice she could have while still being audible. She stood in the hallway with her hands still clasped and her head bowed. She wanted David to go in front of her into the room. She didn't feel comfortable going into a boy's room in the first place, let alone right after a boy. She looked at the other boy's shoulder in discomfort.
"I-I-I'm sorry... I-I was just saying..." She mumbled, and she seemed to shrink back, almost as if she wanted to shrink into the door opposite from Shizuma's... which was Hathor's room herself. She wished she had her glasses suddenly... her glasses had been her shield and now they were gone... and she wanted them back... especially since someone else had become her shield and she wanted him back...
She bit her lip and tried to make herself smaller, pinning her knees together almost as if this would make her thinner, so that she could disappear into the door. She shouldn't have come here... of course Shizuma would have better things to do then to listen to her worries... Shizuma was a far braver person then she was. He seemed to be having an alliance with this boy as well, although she didn't know his name.

Well... That had gone smoother than expected.
Upon being invited inside by Shizuma, David did just that and stepped purposefully through the doorway and came to stand off to the side near the window. He also couldn't help noticing the presence of the two samurai spirits who also appeared to be waiting for things to move underway. One of them was a swordsman whom David recognized as one of the Six Samurai, Irou. The other was a woman who he identified as being the Hand of the Six, yet another agent of the Six Samurai.
So these were the presences David had been sensing around Shizuma when they had first met. Or rather, these were but two of them. Somehow it seemed oddly fitting to David that Shizuma would have spirits like these to call his own. There was just something in the other boy's attitude that made it seem that way.
Once the door had been safely shut behind them all, the white-hooded Obelisk leaned his back against the wall and shut his eyes as if he were concentraing hard about something. And then, appearing one-by-one in a puff of grey smoke, there appeared another group of small duel spirits that hovered around David's shoulders. An attentive wolf. A stoic bear. A white-winged horse. A majestic elk. A strong and solid grey goat. A crow with sharp eyes and white-tipped feathers. And a black griffin with raven features instead of an eagles.
Fenrir. Baldyr. Grane. Cernunnos. Tanngnost. Hugin and Munin. The seven spirits of the Rune Beasts assembled in one place. Each one was no bigger than the size of a softball, but that was simply the form of convenience that they all chose to take. The room was small and the last thing that Shizuma probably wanted was to be surrounded by a scandanavian zoo.
When the Rune Beasts had all answered his summons and appeared beside him, David opened his eyes at last and took note of the other girl who had also followed him inside. Pale skin, lavender hair, and plenty of curves in all the right places. At any other time, David would've surely been reduced to a pool of smiling and amourous goo that would've been perfect for the girl to toy with to her heart's content.
But not this time.
The only response that David gave to the new girl's ideas was a small nod before turning his attention to Shizuma. "She's right about that. And since I remember hearing that you were in that class when it all happened, that means that you probably saw some of the other students who had been taken hostage. The first thing we need to know is which students became possessed and which spirit did the possessing. Got anything that we can use?"

"Mizuki please come inside...I swear upon the honor of my Deck that you will be alright in here." said Shizuma to Mizuki before David started to speak to him.
Shizuma had simply a black sleeveless shirt on, Chinese style with Gold trimming around the opening. At the same time he also wore black pants with White stripes going down the sides. He looked at Mizuki worried that she was scared around a new person. She was highly nervous around him at first so it's no surprise that David would cause her anxiety.
And then he turned to David...it seemed he had friends of his own similar to his own. The two Warriors of the Great Shogun's court stood and looked upon them. They seemed intrigued by their presence...and knew that David could see them...the question now was...could Mizuki see them. He looked again to Mizuki giving her a comforting look that hoped would show Mizuki that she could trust him.
From here, he turned his attention once more to David as he spoke. At this point, he decided to speak the information he knew.
"At this point, I know the identities of one of them personally. The other 4 that were there and are still about it seems are 4 other students...Blue and Yellow. I don't know any of them personally though."

Louis nursed his bruised throat as he walked toward the doorway. Currently he saw three people he recognized, the boy in the class who had summoned the spirits, the shy girl he had met in his first shadow science class, and David Frost, the person he had had a interesting conversation at the museum. He had remembered saying he would aid him in this matter and he needed help as well. He had followed him until they had come to this dorm, initially planning to talk to him.
He had thought that they could fight against the spirits, maybe he could have handled them or at least helped another. Now he knew it would take a group working together to defeat them. Louis rubbed his throat again, remembering his encounter with the Divine beast. That was the closest he had ever come to meeting a god and he was frightened for his life, with all his faith and courage he had nearly felt his spirit break.
He kept himself outta sight of the people, listening in so that he would know the strength of the group, and maybe if he could offer aid.

"William N-N-Nimbus was one... he's a dear friend... a-and my roommate Roxxan Greenfield was another..." She murmered. She screwed up her face and was about to walk into the boy's dorm (OH GOD, WHAT WAS SHE DOING?!) but then she thought she saw someone out of the corner of her eye. She turned around and then squeaked.
She saw a person's arm peeking out from behind a potted palm.
"O-Oh dear!" She jumped backwards into the room and immediately she made a beeline for behind Shizuma. She placed her hands over her heart now... with everything that had gone on, and Mizuki not made of tough stuff to begin with, she was very jumpy. However, she had now identified Louis' position, which was a good thing... because when the door shut he wouldn't have been able to listen in anyway.

David nodded once more to the lavender-haired girl's information. The names weren't any that he personally recognized, but now they at least had a lead. It would be a simple matter to look up those names in the Academy's Student Roster Database and see the faces they belonged to. "And with Hathor that makes three that we know of. But four that we still don't know about." he mused from his position on the wall before lifting his gaze to Shizuma again. "You have a laptop in here, right? And do you think you'd be able to recognize any of the other possessed students' faces if we checked the Ra and Obelisk datab-?"
But then, David was suddenly cut off in his words. He heard the lavender-haired girl utter a squeak and then he saw her come rushing into the room like her skirt was on fire, hiding behind Shizuma and holding her hands over her heart as if she were protecting it. It was enough to make the white-hooded Obelisk lift a questioning eyebrow, uncross his arms, then and assume a more attentive stance towards the door. "Were you expecting any more company, Shizuma?" he asked the other male with a sidelong glance.
Whatever was out there certainly didn't feel like one of the seven Attribute spirits. And even if it had been, David severely doubted that it would've been wasting its time hiding from the trio rather than busting in and... doing whatever it wanted, basically. But even so, caution was the better side of valor at this point.
Meanwhile, two of David's spirits had decided to be a bit more proactive than that. The two raven brothers, Munin and Hugin, launched themselves from off of David's shoulders and went flitting towards one of the walls adjacent to the door, their small and ethereal bodies effortlessly passing through it to the other side.
They were only gone for a few moments before they both peeked their heads through the wall once again.
"Looks like it's just another kid. Doesn't seem possessed or anything." voiced Hugin before he and his brother fully materialized through the wall and reclaimed their perches on David's shoulders. He was already absentmindedly preening his feathers with his beak before he fully touched down on David's coat. He had always been the overly relaxed one out of the two brothers. Some might say even lazy, although David knew better.
Munin, on the other hand, was a bit more informative than that. The black griffin glanced at David with big red eyes from beneath a metallic helm that covered nearly all of his head except for his black beak and ears. He was the more inquisitive out of the two brothers, the scholar and the magician, so it only seemed natural that he would have more to say than his history-oriented brother. "Actually, it's that boy that we met by the Tablet Exhibit at the Domino Museum. I... believe that he introduced himself as Louis Kachala or something of the sort." he added on helpfully.

Louis took a deep breath and stayed his trembling hand, he walked up to the door and knocked before entering. He say the girl, Mizuki he believed her name was, was hiding behind the samurai lad, and David was to another side. Louis cradled his bundle of papers underneath his arm, it was a collection of people united under a goal. To stop evil.
These people seemed to have more experiance with spirits and the shadow realm, and Louis felt small. Through all his years of research he had only come into contact with any sort of supernatural being in the classroom. His weakness then had installed a fear into Louis that he could not shake off. Whatever aid he could offer was all he could do.
"I hope I am not interupting anything," said Louis as he walked in. He looked at David and said "I did not believe that we might actually need each others aid back at the museum huh." He looked at the other two and introduced himself "Louis Kachala, at your service."

"I see...come on in and close the door behind you, Louis." said Shizuma as he walked back into the room which at this point he had to himself.
He walked to the desk and pulled out the chair offering it to Mizuki. There was no point in letting her be too overly uncomfortable. At the same time, Ginchiyo and Irou stood together in a corner as they watched the proceedings. They would remain silent until they knew that they could be seen by everyone.
As he stood by the chair, he looked at Louis, Mizuki, then David. It seemed that they were in the same boat as him. And after that class who knew what kind of panic the student body in a whole was. It was going to be a bit chaotic over the next few days indeed. The question was what would happen now?

((Mitch's fault, at least the boobs part.))
She didn't sit down in the chair. Instead, she pressed closer to Shizuma, almost as if she were hiding. She had seen something that essentially had rendered her mute, and she didn't want to say that she saw them, because if she did, she thought she'd be seen as crazy.
She saw animals and samurai...
Her front was pressing up against Shizuma's back, specifically her boobs and she had her face covered by Shizuma's shoulder with her eyes squeezed shut.
"I'm going nuts... I'm going nuts..." She muttered to herself squeakily under her breath. "First my roommate's a demon, then my best friend, and then I start seeing dueling cards all over the place. I'm going mad... I have to be... this is a dream... nightmare..."

Now that the room had once again settled down (more or less), David regarded Louis with a bit of a cold stare before he simply heaved a sigh and resumed leaning against the wall. He personally had found it a little odd that the Ra student had decided to snoop outside rather than just knock on the door from the start, but he also wasn't about to start wasting his time with judging the other boy because of his supposed shyness. Not when they had bigger problems to be worrying about right now.
With that in mind, he turned his attention back to Shizuma and prepared to repeat his earlier question... only to suddenly stop and stare with his jaw cartoonishly hanging open when he saw what was happening there. The lavender-haired girl, Mizuki, was huddling up behind Shizuma like a cute little kitten. And if that wasn't bad enough... She was also pressing those perfectly-shaped C-Cup breasts of hers right up against his back! Just the sight of those glorious globes pressed up so intimately like that was enough to make David be overcome by a rush of jealousy and remorse!
"What the hell was this!? What an injustice! First that bastard puts the charms on Hathor and now he does the same thing to Mizuki!?" the Obelisk mentally shouted, his mouth still hanging open and his eyes resembling nothing more than a pair of outraged white circles. He could do nothing but stand there and sputter, his hand lifting to point a shaking finger at what was happening behind Shizuma's back. "Damn it! Why can't it be me!? Why the hell does he keep having all of the good luck!?"
His mind would've surely kept circling round and around the gutter if it hadn't been for one of his duel spirits snapping him back to reality. And by "snapping back to reality", I mean the snap of tiny fangs upon the tip of David's earlobe. "Focus, David! Focus!" growled the wolf, Fenrir. He was still chewing on the part of David's ear that he had bitten even as he spoke. "We got bigger problems to worry about besides your crappy luck with women!"
"Ouch! All right, all right! Fine!" David said quickly to the wolf. And after giving the boy's ear a few good yanks to drive his point home, Fenrir finally released his toothy grip upon David's earlobe and resumed floating in the air beside his head with the other Rune Beasts. The only one that seemed to be amused by the events was the grey goat, Tanngnost. He was practically beside himself with soft laughter that made him sound like a dirty old man. "Anyway..." David began while shooting a dirty glare at both Fenrir and Tanngnost. "What about you, Louis? Did you recognize any of the students that have been taken over by spirits?"
And all the while he was trying to avoid looking at Mizuki's lovely little C-Cups that were pressed up against Shizuma's back. He felt that if he saw that one more time, then he would probably break down into a fit of jealous tears. And the "inner David", the voice of all of his pent-up energy and frustration, was glaring at Shizuma while holding up a clenched fist with a pulsing anger mark on it. "I'll figure out yer secret! Just you wait!" David's subconsciousness seemed to roar at the Slifer.

Louis muttered under his breath, "o death, where is thy sting? O grave where is thy victory." He had noted David's infuriating expression towards Mizuki, who was muttering under her breath as if she were clouded in the mind. He felt the folder underneath his arm and grimaced, these were the people who would be fighting the elements. He felt the hangmans noose around his neck. Sins of the flesh and mind were rampert.
David closed his eyes for a second and opened them. "Yes I knew of William Nimbus." He looked at Mizuki, if he remembered they had some sort of a relationship. "I beleive I met him on the night he was possessed," Louis formed the cross and muttered vade retro satana and continued "he had jumped off a cliff into the ocean. He claimed he couldn't remember, just that one moment he was in bed, the next he was on top of the cliff, and the next thing was him waking up from his time in the surf." Louis looked down for a moment, he had been so close he had touched Will's skin and had felt nothing, but an evil had invaded him and he had done nothing to stop it. He had in fact aided in Will's suffering by keeping him alive.
Louis straightened up and said "I don't know of the others." But at least he now knew the names of the demons, and a little of their personalities which was most useful.

"Duel Monsters? I see...so you can see them too?" said Shizuma as he spoke quietly to his friend, Mizuki.
His mind at this point wasn't at all focused on the breasts into his back. But upon giving comfort to her...getting her to relax. As he stood there, both Irou and Ginchiyo walked towards Mizuki and Shizuma. They both smiled as Irou adjusted his glasses.
"Please...relax my dear relax...you aren't hallucinating." said Irou calmly as he finished adjusting his glasses.
"I know you are nervous...I know you are in pain my dear...but please...relax, you are amongst friends...and Shizuma will protect you." said Ginchiyo.
Shizuma nodded in agreement with the Samurai as he looked at both Louis and David. He understood that they didn't know much...but Shizuma would put in what he could. He hoped that they could at least do something.
"I'd recognize them if I saw them but I cant access the files and roster from here, remember I'm in the Slifer Dorm...my internet is good but not the fastest."
