Chapter 8 - Searching For Something? Prophecy?

(Uchiuru Libary...)

(Leon POV)

I got bored with my walk and Leonidas went to walk alongside me Ruin is currently with Chika keeping her company... (I hope he doesn't do anything too rash) I thought sighed...

Wow, the library is a lot bigger than I expected it to be but something was calling me to come here... Leonidas and I observe the entire place both hesitated to sweat (...Something cold...and dark here...) I thought (I don't like this Leon not one bit) Leonidas thought (Me too buddy) I thought hesitated slowly observing this hidden chamber for a bit...

"...Wait this thing types in hiragana, zura?" Hanamaru asked confused "If you want to type in Kanji, hit the change button," Ruby said (WHA?) Leonidas and I thought shocked both turned saw Hanamaru and Ruby looking at a computer for a bit "Hey it's in Kanji now! This is the future! zura!" Hanamaru yelled "H-Hanamaru keep your voice down," Ruby said sweatdrop (...Leon on our left weird guy in a business suit and...I sense huge amounts of negative energy could be that corrupted energy as well) Leonidas thought serious expression (Better hurry then) I thought "Oh sorry I couldn't help it," Hanamaru said sweatdrop "Hanamaru and Ruby?" I asked walking over to them...

"H-Huh??" Hanamaru asked flinched "PIGGIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!" Ruby yelled (A-Ah not again damn it!) I thought flinched "W-Woah shhh! It's just me Leo!" I quietly yelled, "Y-You scared me for a second I thought you were scary man..." Ruby said hiccuped "...Sorry about that shouldn't have to sneak up on you guys like this like that but I well got an uneasy feeling right now" I said, "Why's that zura?" Hanamaru asked (He's getting up but seems to be armed with a hidden knife that weapon could definitely hurt you Leon) Leonidas thought "Uh someone watching us right now..." I muttered "Keep your voice down alright," I said strict expression keeping eye on the culprit as he went to leave the library...

"Phew, I guess we should be safe for now," I said sighed "That was scary..." Ruby said "I'm just glad to be here right time with you two," I said smiled "So what brings you here zura?" Hanamaru asked "Helping our fallen angel in need," I said chuckled "That's our Yoshiko zara" Hanamaru said smiled "Yep I'm looking for a book and something else come up while looking for it," I said confused expression "I see we are just looking at the computer looking for stuff," Hanamaru said, "What kind of books exactly?" I asked "Books about temple ceremonies, plant mythology, stewed foods, and stationary history, zura" Hanamaru said excited "That's quite a motley of books you got there," I said stunned "I wanna learn more about stuff I never heard or research before," Hanamaru said, "That's a lot of books to find wouldn't be easier to just ask a librarian?" I asked confused "But if I don't know how to learn to use a computer once or twice then I would probably never survive in this day and age zura!" Hanamaru yelled, "Is it that bad learning vital of technology??" I asked confused "It is. We check the counter and well only saw like two librarians busy there were a lot earlier..." Ruby said concerned (WHAT?!) I thought my eyes widened "AAAAGHHHH!!!" ??? yelled from distance "W-What the??! Zura!" Hanamaru yelled as Ruby flinched hesitated "..." I said staring down we crouch hid as the culprit return but bit bloody paled but chuckled to himself walking observing around the place...

"The sector is clear" ??? said "Good Scorpios come we got more work to do" ??? said walking down "Very well Mr. Zerrick" Scorpios said walking human scorpion size grin as we flinched... "Police are on their way!" Scorpios yelled "Great so much looking for that scroll get out of here now," Mr.Zerrick said "Right," Scorpios said all left fled the area...

(Mr.Zerrick...that name sounds familiar...) I thought trying to calm Ruby down as Leonidas was in front of Hanamaru... "We should get out of here zura before police think we were one's murder those...librarians..." Hanamaru said flinched "Leonidas get them out of here in the backdoor I will check on something," I said as they nodded took off another way...

I went as Starlight Sentinel knelt down observing the damage for myself few of the security members here were all butchered and killed including the librarians since they knew too much information about something? I looked around (That's the same scroll I found first but...well I can't understand it nor does Leonidas) I thought to decide to rushed over checking the chamber "Hanamaru and Ruby are safe explainings to the police what they saw" Leonidas said "Alright" I said put my hand over the secret chamber hand glows...

"What the hell??" Leonidas asked shocked "Scroll and two pendants?" I asked confused expression (I will not forgotten what been mostly connect to you) I thought confused expression (To keep lost broken promise) Leonidas thought (Hmm...I don't get it) I thought sweatdrop put the scroll in my satchel turned saw police officers entering in the building "Leonidas" I said "Right" Leonidas said both fled the area...

"Are you two okay Hanamaru and Ruby??" I asked concerned expression "Y-Yeah we are alright," Ruby said sweatdrop "Well I'm sorry for ruining our library time," I said sighed "N-No it's okay really...I'm just glad you were there with us..." Ruby said smiled "Books can be replaced but a friend like you can't be replaced zura" Hanamaru said "Ahaha...right but those people I kinda wish could do something but...we can't always save everyone," I said sighed "The painful part of being someone like us..." Leonidas said "We understand and accept you we all do Chika and others are really happy you two are here with us" Ruby said "I agree zura" Hanamaru said both smiled "Well there's another library nearby, after all, I got what I found" I said sweatdrop "I was wondering what you were looking for anyway zura" Hanamaru asked "School idol reference of the area just curious of what the idols are liked," I said sweatdrop "I was looking for that too!" Ruby yelled "I can help out after we get the last remaining books I'm looking for zura" Hanamaru said smiled....

Mr.Zerrick and Scorpios...one very deadly combination...I never felt such fear before...their power was something higher than I can normally ever faced...however I was just glad Hanamaru and Ruby are safe...that all matters to me but Leonidas say Scorpios is one of the dangerous types of Legions very fast and agile only top tier users can obtain or control them...

Enough of thinking about them for minute I did found the scrolls they been searching for so bad but it seems to be some kind of Prophecy? I think one person I would know could help explain this in more full detail... Riko's grandfather but for now I wanna keep a close eye on Hanamaru and Ruby for a bit...

As predicted we head a nearby library that has a lot of people Ruby and I helped Hanamaru find the books she was interested in... "Argnn almost there....zura" Hanamaru said annoyed I noticed how short she is same as Ruby "Hey need help with that," I said went to get the book for her...

"Oh, thank you!" Hanamaru quietly yelled, "No problem is that the last one?" I asked smiled "Yes zura!" Hanamaru cheered "I liked to borrow these please," Hanamaru said as Librarian went to scan them...

(Wait what?? one-two...TEN?!) I thought shocked "I never expected Hanamaru to be interested in books at this degree..." I said stunned "I have seen her buy a whole grocery bag of books at the basket," Ruby said smiled "One-time payment I wonder how she can make sure to return them all on time..." I said shocked "I'm sure Hanamaru will handle it," Ruby said, "If you say so-huh?" I asked confused "What's wrong?" Ruby asked confused expression "Look at the event calendar board" I said stunned expression "I used to go into these events before as little ruby with my sister," Ruby said "Oh wow I went to see this one with Ayu and Yu back when we were kiddos," I said both reading the events for the month...

(A piano recital here?? I might as well go check it out for myself) I thought stunned expression (Hmm I will check it out probably after helping Hanamaru and Ruby for a bit) I thought smiled "Oh sorry for keeping you two waiting zura...jeez this is heavy" Hanamaru said sweatdrop "Are you alright Hanamaru? I'll take half of those" Ruby said concerned "No I will deal with them since I borrow after all zura" Hanamaru said "No your strap is sticking into your shoulder...Let me hold on few Leonidas you too" I said "Alrighty" Leonidas said "A-Are you sure zura? Thank you two so what on the event board?" Hanamaru asked "Anytime and just some events like hmm let's see here," I said looking at the poster flyer...

"An original library anthology??" Hanamaru asked confused "They are asking for original stories and poems still accepting entries today go check it out for yourself," I said smiled "Oh I saw that when I walked in earlier before the incident a father and son were talking about doing it together," Hanamaru said confused "What about you?" I asked "You? I don't think she would be interested in books as much, zura" Hanamaru said (Ugh damn it why!) I thought annoyed "No I meant in you Hanamaru," I said sweatdrop "Me?" Hanamaru asked confused "I think you'll be a pretty good writer Hanamaru," Ruby said smiled "M-Me n-no way zura!!" Hanamaru yelled "Oh I just assume you because of reading and researching so many books," I said chuckling...

"Reading and Writing are two different things zura!" Hanamaru yelled, "I'm pretty sure you're eyes lit up when you saw the poster making you interested in this right?" Ruby asked, "...I-uh..." Hanamaru said sweatdrop "You sure don't want to write in this Hanamaru I think you'll do great," I said smiled "If you think it's too hard just give yourself a challenge," I said smiled "...O-Okay I will do it zura" Hanamaru said nervously "YAY!" Ruby cheered "Uh ahaha uh kiddos I think we should probably speak this outside" Leonidas said "Yeah...we are little too loud plus this was library zura" Hanamaru said nervously as we all leave the library...

"I can't wait for that novel of yours Hanamaru" I said "I'm gonna need some time to think of what to write zura" Hanamaru said sweatdrop "Hmm what to write about...?" Ruby asked while discussing with Hanamaru I was well getting occpuied...

"..." I said glaring down from distance someone is indeed stalking us but I create invisible barrier over them so he can't see them but only me... (Yep that's him...we should leave for now Leon) Leonidas thought (Yeah) I thought glaring down...

Leonidas and I went with Hanamaru to her residence and leave to continue our walk and making sure if we are still being followed...
