Prologue - Where Is She?

"Let's get started." A short stature girl wearing a flower pattern kimono took a step forward from her high standing view point. Her fox like tail turns vicious as she smiles and her eyes turn into that of a predator.

She unfolds her fan and issues "All troops forward!" The troops in response to her answers with their war cries as they brandished their weapons and stepped forward in a thunderous march that shook the earth. This was the army of Amaterasu the goddess figure of her "Soleil." "Push them back!" The opposing leader of the enemy army sends his troops forward. In the middle of this war field is the chaotic screech of cries as steel clashes with steel.

"Out of the way!" In the dust of this battle a single boy runs forward all the while laughing out in joy. He was unarmed and the only weapons he relied on are his bare fists. His black attire could get him a label of a high school delinquent as his fur collar hoodie flutters in the air. He had a sharp gleam in his eyes as he fought on this battlefield where a single mistake could end up costing him his life. As a halberd came down at him from the side the boy returns the attack with a sharp punch before the weapon could make contact with his flesh!

"Uoh!"

The attacker was sent flying back at mach speed.

[Akatsuki hurry it up we're not going to hold them for much longer!] The mission assigned to Akatsuki was to take down the enemy leader. Fighting in this war field was not his task.

"I got it." Akatsuki pushed everything out of his way as he dashed forward in a straight line while leaving a trail of dust clouds in his wake. Seeing that his target was within his leap distance Akatsuki jumps up to the cliff that is 80 meters high.

"Weiss!" "Don't you dare come any closer!" The leader of the opposing army Weiss flees from the scene as Akatsuki gives chase. Weiss was a spiritual priest who commands the spirits to fight for him as such his physical specs were lower than a child. Akatsuki immediately caught up without effort and pounced on him pushing his head onto the ground!

"Heh." He drags the limp Weiss by the back of his robe before the edge of the cliff.

"Oi members of the White Church." The battle was over as the leader was taken down. With the undivided attention of the opposing enemies Akatsuki without mercy kicks Weiss down from the cliff for all to see.

"Now spit it out where is she?" Tied to a chair Weiss was interrogated by one of Soleil's frontline vanguards.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Feigning ignorance Weiss turns his head to the side to which he was greeted to the evil smirk of Akatsuki who held a dagger in his hand.

"Hiii!" Weiss pales as he turns the other way around. This time he was greeted to the face of a little girl.

But this little girl threateningly opens her mouth revealing her long sharp canines while clawing her hands, the characteristics of a vampire when taking a bite!

"Let me go! This gathering of heretics sickens me to no end!" "Then you better answer quickly, otherwise." Akatsuki pressed the cold surface of the knife to Weiss's cheeks.

"Otherwise what? You devil you won't get away with this sin!" "Otherwise your junior down there will be cut off." "Y-You're not human!" "That's quite rude I'm perfectly human. Biologically."

Kurogami Akatsuki's brute strength was clearly not human. But biologically from the world he had come from he was indeed human.

"Akatsuki enough, let's rough him up nicely." With furious eyes the vanguard of Soleil Quo gave off a dark aura that spells out the words doom clearly for all to see.

"Yeah well if we let you do it he'd be dead." "Like I care! If he isn't going to be of any use I'll kill him right now!" Normally the female knight Quo was a gentle and kind person. But due to her accumulated stress over worrying about a missing comrade she was at the end of her patience.

"Amaterasu how about we just check his records?" The fox ear and tail goddess who was sitting quietly in this underground brick prison without raising a voice this whole time gave an approving nod.

"Y-You can't that's an invasion of privacy!" "Don't care. What we want is our comrade's location." Quo turns around coldly and walked out of the prison along with the rest of the others.

"Akatsuki." "What?" "Do you think I was being unreasonable?"

"..." Did she really worry about that? Nevertheless Akatsuki answers Quo's question.

"No, I believe in the "act on a comrade's behalf" justifies such actions." "I see..." Quo was truly tired and worried sick over the missing person of this Circle.

"Hey don't let it get to you. I'm worried just as much as you are about Inaba." How did this whole incident start? It goes back to about a week ago as Akatsuki who was just invited to the Garden got used to this world.
