[color=f7976a]Rue removed her arms from the black jumpsuit that went over her white tee shirt, and ripped the torso down the middle, before ripping off one of the sleeves and tying the remaining bits of fabric together at her hips, using the ripped off sleeve to wipe most of the blood off of her face. She crumpled it and threw it down on Hollins’s body, staring down the angry woman’s spirit as she did so, and the spirit seemed to shrink away in remembered fear and trauma from how brutally Rueyn had killed her. Rue growled in pleasure and turned to Hemlock.

[color=ed1c24]“Now that you seem to have things under control, here, I am going to go find my mother fucking weapon. No fucking [b]way [/b]am I leaving this bitch without it.”[/color]

She replaced her mask, saluted Brock, and stepped into a shadow to disappear from ear and eyeshot to begin tracking her weapon down, leaving nothing in her wake aside from the dead bodies and gore scattered across the hallway and inside the control room, but she had kept the gore to a minimum in there, knowing machinery didn’t function as well with human blood in it.

Rue closed her eyes and honed in on the energy that her scythe emitted, tracking it to where it was, and opened her eyes. Which then narrowed upon seeing an unfamiliar man holding it. 

[color=ed1c24]“What are you doing with that?”[/color] She growled as she melted out of the shadows on top of what appeared to be an elevator. 

[color=ed1c24][i]An elevator from the cafeteria? Interesting.[/i][/color]

	Sensing himself in danger, Kanata jumped to the roof of the elevator, his back against the wall and his hand on his blade while watching a figure manifest from the shadows. There was malice from the demoness so strong he could feel it on every inch of his body, what’s more was that he could feel her power, stronger than most he had encountered in his lifetime. 
	
	[color=66CDAA]“What exactly are you referring to as 'that?'”[/color] he spoke in a more serious tone than before. “If you’re referring to the weapon on my back it belongs to me.” His eyes narrowed, watching and waiting for any movement while circling the air around him so whenever she entered his range he would know instantaneously.

[color=ed1c24][i]“The scythe,”[/i][/color] she narrowed her eyes as he moved away from her, putting distance between them. [color=ed1c24]“It’s mine. It was given to me long ago by someone important. I suggest you give it to me before I take it.”[/color]

	Kanata could not help but think of the fact that the only one who should have had this weapon was dead and he had watched her die. His thoughts raced before looking at her, taking his hand off his blade and throwing it down before replying, [color=66CDAA]“Then you are gonna have to take it from me."[/color]

[color=ed1c24]“Have it your way, then,”[/color] she snarled, crouching into an assassin pose that she’d been taught at a young age before launching herself at him with inhuman speed, slashing at his knees with her bone-colored nails that had now lengthened into 5” claws. [color=ed1c24]“Whether I get it from you dead or alive makes no difference to me.”[/color]

	 Kanata began by throwing his weapon down to his side and stretching his neck. This was gonna be a fight he hadn't had in a long time. Taking a quick glance at the infuriated demon in front of him, he quickly grabs the scythe and throws it up into the air, avoiding the elevator wire and attempting to lure in the threat in front of him with what she wanted.

	Rueyn watched with narrowed eyes as her beloved scythe was thrown into the air, and, unable to contain her desire to have it back within her grasp, she charged ahead right into his trap knowing full well it what it was, but she didn’t care. 

[color=ed1c24][i]Whatever this being with ancient spiritual energy is capable of,[/i][/color] she thought to herself, [color=ed1c24][i]I can handle it with ease.[/i][/color]

However, that seemed to be far from the truth. The man appeared in front of her at a speed she couldn’t keep track of, grabbing for ehr scythe as the man's arm stretched outwards for a strike towards her gut, his fist being caught with the middle of the scythe’s blade instead.	

	The air reverberated as Kanata's right fist made contact with the scythe as he used the air around him to spin his body clockwise into a kick. Rue matched his second blow on instinct, spinning the scythe with a fluid circular motion, the blade end opposite to Kanata's body while the tail end of the scythe met his ankle. However, he used the airflow rushing outwards from his foot, pushing her back to the ground but Rue caught herself with her scythe, the sharp back end being used to pierce the wall and slow her descent before setting her feet back on the ground and looking up at the now empty space where Kanata once was. 

[i][color=ed1c24]Grrr.[/color][/i]

She decided to launch herself at him again, but Kanata let his torso fall forward as the air gathered around his feet and then exploded, propelling him forward until he flipped using the air around him to stop instantly in front of her and taking a jab at her stomach. The blow connected, pushing her back against the wall with a breath that whooshed out of her lungs with an audible noise. Jumping back to where he laid his katana and putting his foot under his hilt, he flipped it into the air before spinning into ai stance faster than Rueyn could dodge from the blow that just landed, swinging his blade.

 In an instant, it cut into the flesh on her side but not slicing all the way through. Kanata looked at Rue's face and noticed she was smiling. 

            [color=ed1c24]"Finally got you, little fly,"[/color] she smiled savagely, grabbing his hand before swinging down the scythe that had still been caught in the wall directly above him, however, electricity started to course through her body from the katana still stuck in her flesh, causing her attack to slow and her grip loosen as Kanata slipped out of her grip. 

[color=ed1c24][i]Godsdammit.[/i][/color]

Rue gritted her teeth, charging forward with her shoulder and knocking him back, before ripping the blade out of her side while the electricity still ran through her body before dropping it to the ground, her movements jerky and staggered but still fast and potentially lethal.

          Kanata rushed forward, catching the blade, and slashed the top of her side of her left wrist, forcing her grip to loosen on the scythe before kicking out his leg against the now cut arm which forced her to drop the weapon as he brought his blade up to her throat. 

[color=ed1c24]“Okay, who the [i]fuck [/i][b][i]are [/i][/b]you?”[/color] 

Blunt as ever, and not in the mindset to dice her words, especially considering the pain coursing through her body and the sharp thing at her scarred neck, one that had experienced an attempted beheading already. Even if those words might be what got her beheaded anyways. 

Kanata stood there staring at the demoness, his eyes glowing the same blue hue from years prior when he first met the same demon child, and, realizing who she was, he took his blade down from her throat.
 [color=66CDAA]"It's been a long time Musume."[/color] Bringing himself down face to face so she can get a better look at him, he could see how much she had grown into a fine woman.

Rue didn’t dare breathe or blink, she could only stare as she was finally able to actually make out the male’s features and though they were different slightly, it was still the man she remembered, he still carried himself the same way. 

[color=ed1c24][i]“O-ot-Otōsan?”[/i][/color] her raspy voice wavered, ground like gravel with the force of her emotions as she strangled the urge to cry, not daring to even chance to look weak in front of these other inmates that she knew were likely watching the whole time. The pain from her wounds she could ignore, but the full force of being reunited with her long-lost mentor and father figure was overwhelming, even for someone as strong as she was.

[color=ed1c24]“I don’t understand how you are here, I… I have so many questions.”[/color] 

And she did, like why he’d left her behind, why didn’t he come back for her, where had he been and a few more, but they could wait until they got the hell outta there.

[color=66CDAA]"Well…"[/color] pausing for a second to think, he wasn't sure what to say, it being such a long time since he last saw her that he struggled for the right words. [color=66CDAA]"I, too, have a lot of questions for you."[/color] He got next to her and then propped her arm onto his shoulder as he lifted her up and walked her to the elevator hatch. 

[color=66CDAA]"We can discuss this when we're inside the elevator while you're recuperating,"[/color] he decided to say, finally.

[color=ed1c24]“I look forward to it,”[/color] Rueyn got over her shock and smiled up at him, the shadows that covered the insides of her mouth from view somehow conveying her delight, her cheeks crinkling at the corners as he helped her up. She gave a small groan as her spinal column shifted back into place with a sickening crunch noise as her body began to heal the damage that had been done when she hit the elevator shaft wall, as well as the completely severed tendon in her left wrist and slice in her side that went to her bones. 

[color=ed1c24]“How I missed you,”[/color] she replied, before following his gaze to the ones below as she leaned down to grab her scythe with her good hand. [color=ed1c24]“Aye, Otōsan, that sounds like a good idea. Let’s get the fuck outta this godsdamned hellhole.”[/color]

[color=66CDAA]“Watch your mouth, young lady,”[/color] he says before contemplating their time apart and sighing. [color=66CDAA]“This will be hard to get used to.”[/color]

[color=ed1c24]“Shit, my bad,”[/color] Rue laughed as she spoke, knowing exactly what she said. [color=ed1c24]“I’ll try to tone it down out of respect for you, Otōsan, but I can’t promise I’ll be able to stop completely.”[/color]
