<strong>Who: </strong>Ryuu<br/><strong>For: </strong>Opened<br/><strong>Where: </strong>Forest<br/><strong>When:</strong>Late Evening<br/><br/>Ryuu had done his best to skip the rest of the classes for the day, even lounging off somewhere on the pathway to enjoy a long nap. There was much to do at night time and he had his fill, leaving himself with plenty of energy to successfully burn. He was thankful he was left undisturbed, perhaps no one had found him thus far, most classes seemed to slow down and he imagined the students at this hour were most likely sleeping peacefully in their beds or doing God knows what. It was not any of his concern as he rose to his feet, brushing himself off and soon disappearing deep into the forest. He knew that such a place was forbidden, but he was not new to leaving the safety of this school, there had been multiple occasions where such events transpired in the past and he imagined there would be many more in the near future.<br/><br/>Even on the odd chance of discovery, he had plenty of excuses to go off on. Some stupid enough to probably fit the dumb demeanor he often put on as a farce. His hands rested within the pockets of his jacket as he trudged through the wooded area. The area was silent, eerily so, the only things he could hear were the breaking of random twigs and branches beneath the weight of his continuous steps. His eyes remained alert, casually glancing to one side and the next, his vision unhindered by the darkness, being quite the nocturnal individual himself or maybe it was just another gift he obtained from his mother. Who was really to say about these things? Ryuu didn’t focus too much on the past, only on the present and what he could do to stay alive.<br/><br/>His movements drew to a pause at the melody of distant growling; most people would have the sense to turn back and head from where they came, but not Ryuu. The young man was confident enough hold his ground, it wouldn’t matter if he retreated either. Demons typically preyed on humans and if there was sound it meant that most likely the creature already picked up his scent. If he were to retreat, his back would be an opened target and he rather not waste valuable stamina. He suppose he could always remove his weights to fully get away, but why do that? Why waste such valuables and leave himself all the more expose with his natural talents within the school? Ryuu only shook his head as the sounds drew closer.<br/><br/>Besides, this would make good practice, this was one of the reasons he visited the forest. His hands never left his pockets as the predator became visible. Already was the monstrosity rushing towards him, he would expect no less from a lesser yokai. This one done the features of a wolf, yet lack the beauty of such noble animals. Three eyes, jagged teeth, and crimson mangled fur to boot. Most normal boys and girls may run away throwing their arms in the air and screaming, but not Ryuu. His lips only arched into a smug smirk as he shifted his weight, watching and waiting as the demon drew closer. The beast pouncing and within that instant, Ryuu maneuvered his body, sidestepping the demonic fiend, turning himself to face the predator as it landed from its missed, would be attack. “Oh, so you come to play with me tonight? I still need to work off these excess calories.” Ryuu’s voice hummed, his personality appearing to have completely changed here alone with a ‘dangerous’ adversity. Again the demon would rush him, but the results would be the same, Ryuu’s body shifting and turning to make it appear like he was mostly playing with the poor demonic wolf.<br/><br/>Maybe the beast realized this as well, its rampant offense instantly stopping as it circled the lone humanoid figure, only to stop in place and release an ear piercing howl through the labyrinth. Many more followed in suit, coming from all directions and it wasn’t much longer that Ryuu found himself surrounded by the pack of lesser demons. “Oh?” He voice hummed as he looked around, watching them circle him as the former lone wolf had done. Ryuu’s hands slowly departing from the pockets of his coat. “I suppose this would do for a warm up.” He stated as he assumed a fighting stance, even unarmed, he didn’t seem the least bit bothered of being outnumbered and surrounded by demons.
