Looking up from the book he was reading, Bill let a smile bloom on his face and he tipped his hat at seeing who came through the doors, "Hey there, Tsukiakari."
Just smiling, the sword giggled a bit, "Hello, Bill." Glancing around the lower floor of the old Potter Mill house, she noted that the others were also there, "Hmm? Why did Senpai call all of us here?"
A frown on her own face, Dracul huffed a bit, "We were wondering if you knew. She pulled all of us off of guard duty for some reason!"
With a slightly bemused smile, Xing raised an eyebrow, "Did she pull you away from your singing perhaps? After all, you nearly killed the Betrayer, so I doubt that he will be returning there anytime soon."
Arms crossed, Feng scowled at nothing in particular, "More the pity."
Dracul poured some and nodded, "She did! And I was getting better at it!" Head hanging, she huffed some as Cathy patted her back to comfort her, "No fair, just as I was thinking this awesome song."
Scratching her chin, Vala hummed, "Well, I suppose that it is better than that one time with Johann Potter of the German Branch?" Ignoring the increasingly flustered look on the spear's face, she continued, "She attempted to block him and his wife from coming to a marriage here in Britain. That was, until he vanished his clothes and drove her off. Never seen her so flustered befor-"
The Sword/Shield found herself cut off as Dracul had launched herself across and slapped her hands over Vala's mouth, "YOU SWORE THAT YOU WOULD NEVER MENTION THAT!"
While the Germanic blade shrugged, the French sword frowned, "Wasn't he a son of a Potter and Malfoy? Or was it a Du Chasteler? Hence his blonde hair?"
Face red, Dracul looked at her, "SUBJECT CHANGE, NOW!"
The various others all looked amused at her reaction before the door opened and Goldie strode in, "HA! Hello this fine night my Amici! It does me good to see you all here, Umu!"
Softly giggling. Tsukiakari only nodded as Goldie flopped onto one of the recliners as if it was a throne, "Hello, Goldie."
A smirk on her face, the Roman blade nodded to her, "And hello to you as well, Young One! And how does things go with Praetor?"
Only shrugging, Tsukiakari shook her head, "Master is doing well in his studies and I have been telling him tales of his family. Or what I know of it anyways..." Chewing her lip, she frowned a bit before sighing, "Which is not too much, I'm afraid compared to any of you."
Head tilted to the side, the Roman blade hummed before clapping her on the shoulder, "Bah! You know enough for Praetor! And I can tell that he has gotten to know our family more through you." Suddenly, Goldie turned and grinned, "You can now come in and explain why we are all here, Juuchi! For you must have a reason, Umu!"
The front door opened and everyone hid a slight smile at the disgruntled look on the Muramasa's face. However, Juuchi simply sat down and grunted a bit which got their attention. Sharing a look with the others, Catherine frowned, "Juuchi? Is something wrong with young Harry?"
Just snorting, Juuchi shook her head, "No, nothing is wrong with our Master..." Pausing, she sighed before looking over her shoulder towards the kitchen, "Okay you three, you need to come over here and hear this."
Blinking, the two sets of knives and one knife box looked at each other before cleaning off their hands and walking over. Once they sat down, the first one to speak was Sabah in her soft, quiet tone, "Juuchi, What is wrong with our Master?"
With a sigh, Juuchi ran a hand through her hair before frowning, "Does the name Trelawney ring a bell for any of you?"
Tsukiakari blinked at that and frowned for a moment, "Trelawney? Yes, Master Henry knew of a Cassandra Trelawney in school. She was a Seer of great renown." Considering things, she tapped her chin, "I think that Master Henry had her over a few times when they were in school and, um..." After a moment, the Kyu Gunto shrugged, "Well, she was a Seer and I remember one prophecy she made which actually sounds like it came true regarding the Abyssals."
Everyone stared at her before Catherine coughed, "I, too, know of the Trelawney family. They have produced seers with some regularity I believe."
Juuchi shrugged a bit and shoved her thoughts regarding Henry into the back of her mind. Best not to deal with them now, "Well, the current one, Sybil, is... well, acts like a fraud most of the time. As one of those fortune tellers at a carnival. But it seems she has given prophecies at least once before last night..."
Quickly, she explained what she overheard the night before from where her true self had been hanging from her sister's waist. After she was finished, the room lapsed into silence for a time. Finally though, Carnwennan spoke up with a sigh, "So, it seems, that this Voldemort is rising once more. And from what that prophecy stated, Peter is out of our reach for now."
The Muramasa grimaced, but nodded just the same, "It would seem so. And none of you have reported him attempting to reach one of the bolt holes for some time."
Glancing around, Sheff cleared his throat and got their attention, "While I am unsure what I, or Saki, could do... perhaps we should make some plans just in case."
About to comment, Juuchi blinked as Sabah stood up and walked towards the door, "Sabah? And where might you be going?"
The Arabic woman turned and looked at her before smiling, "I am going to get two others that may be able to help, though I would ask for you to come Tsukiakari for one of them."
Perplexed, the Kyu Gunto nodded and followed her. The others just sat there and chatted among themselves for a time while they waited. Granted, Juuchi was getting more and more irritated by a certain sword and her Umus even as Kansha looked on in amusement.
However, thankfully for everyone, it was not too long before Tsukiakari and Sabah returned. Granted, they brought along some items. In Tsukiakari's case, it was a Bayonet blade modified with a hilt. Said blade manifested as someone who was either a boyish girl, or a girlish boy, dressed in the uniform of a WWI British Army soldier. Tipping the brim of their hat, they smiled, though Juuchi noted that they had the same green eyes as their Master, Harry did, "Good evening, name's Nightbane."
Everyone than turned their attention to the massive shield that Sabah had brought in. It had a circular part behind a larger cross shaped bit. Though they noted that the shield boss had seven small circles around it which were made of a black stone. Sparkles gathered from said stones and formed into a purple haired female that had blackish armour over her body. Looking at her, Kansha frowned, 'Why... do I have the sudden thought of doing something with eggplants?'
With a slight bow, the shield-woman smiled a bit, "Um, hello, I'm Andraste."
For several moments no one said anything before Juuchi facepalmed, "I cannot believe that I forgot about you."
Lightly blushing, Tsukiakari nodded some, "As did I..." Turning, she gave a bow to the purple haired spirit, "I am sorry about that, Andraste-Senpai..."
Only waving her arms, Andraste shook her head, "No, no, it is fine. Besides..." Scratching her cheek, she weakly smiled, "I have not been out and about for some time."
Beside her, Sabah smiled, "And that is something that we need to change." Turning to the others, she continued, "When it comes to possible protection, Andraste is the best. After all, the enchantments on her prevent her user from suffering from poison, disease, and spells that would harm one." A slight smirk crossed her face, "As my original master found out... it was quite a shock when the poison on my blade failed to kill Hadrian Potter. Giving him the time to kill my original Master."
The Kyu Gunto had a thoughtful look on her face, "Um, Andraste-Senpai? Can I ask you something..." Getting a nod, she continued, "Is it true that your body was made from a meteor? And that the stones in your shield is from..."
Softly smiling, Andraste chuckled, "From the stone from which Caliburn was pulled? Yes, they do come from that." Blushing, she stroked over the stones which softly glowed, "The shield was a gift to Hadrian before he set out for the Crusades from his mother... the leader of the local Fae. She had me forged to protect him." Glancing down at Sabah, she hummed some, "Which I did."
Raising his hand, Bill frowned, "That is lovely and all, though I do have to wonder how exactly you are supposed to help the Kid. Because no offense, but you are rather large..."
In reply, Andraste lifted her true from easily, "Special spells so that a Potter, or myself, can easily hold it as if it was made with wood at most. Also..." Tapping the boss and the stones, they watched as the shield folded in on itself until it took the form of an bracer on her arm, "I don't have to be fully out to protect."
For several moments, those who did not know her stared before they shared looks. Bill then shrugged some, "Objection withdrawn."
Guided over to the couch, Andraste sat down with Nightbane beside her. Looking around, the purple haired maiden frowned and looked around, "Um... so what is going on?"
Moments later, Sabah sat in her lap causing her to blush. It may have been a surprise, but the two of them had become very close friends since the Crusades, arguably almost sisters in some ways. Leaning forward, Juuchi took a deep breath before explaining everything, with the two new spirits listening. Once she was done, Nightbane frowned with a grimace, "Well, that is rather lovely..." Turning to her, the Bayonet continued, "Any idea as to what we should do?"
Tsukiakari frowned some before nodding, "Well... there is one thing." Getting looks of interest, she bit her lip briefly, "We need some transportation. And there is money in the various bolt holes that we could use. I... do not think that Mistress Lily would mind in this case."
Scratching his chin, Carnwennan hummed, "That is a good idea. In fact, I was planning on getting a vehicle as I now have a driver's license."
With a blink, Juuchi turned to him, "A license? And what sort of car would you even drive?"
The Arthurian blade smiled a bit, "Why, I am going to buy myself a Mini."
Disbelief on her face, Juuchi boggled at him, "... Why would you buy yourself a Mini? Of all the cars possible..."
Just blinking, Carnwennan frowned some, "Why wouldn't I? It is a British car and I have heard that they are quite good. Perhaps in blue..." Turning, he looked at Tsukiakari, "What do you think, granddaughter?"
Softly giggling, the Kyu Gunto nodded, "I think that it would fit you, Grandfather." She then shrugged, "I think that I will have a look at some of the things that Henry brought back. Um, I sort of like motorcycles and I am certain he brought some military ones back from Europe after the war."
For the next hour or so, the various weapon, and one shield, spirits made plans. At the end of which, they split up with them leaving, only for Tsukiakari to pause and walk over to Goldie who raised an eyebrow with a small smile, "Is something wrong, Umu?"
Cocking her head to the side, Tsukiakari frowned, "May I ask you something, Goldie...?" At her nod, she continued, "Where did you learn the word Umu? And why do you say it so often?"
With a glance around, Goldie smiled a bit, "I learned the word from Juuchi as a matter of fact one day. She said it and I liked the word, especially after she explained it. As for why I say it..." Her smile became a smug smirk, "She seems to have this odd twitch when I do so... Umu."
Blinking, Tsukiakari stared at her before giggling madly, which was met with snickers.
And you don't think Lily is capable of giving Peter sufficient punishment for his crimes? :lol
"Supprin, why ... Did you take on a helium supply cache?"
