Reunited at last.
And it feels oh-so-good.



For the amount of time it had taken Ryoshi to speed past Raiko and embrace the human girl, Kaito, it had taken just as much time for the loving, if not uncomfortable (for Raiko), moment to dissolve and devolve into a dire situation. It was only due to the Priestess, Ren, suddenly pointing her staff at Ryoshi, declaring something that hit Raiko like a ton of bricks coming down from the sky and hitting their mark. Everything she said from the village she was from to how Ryoshi had taken her best friend from her. At first, Raiko was confused. What did she mean? Was there some other person she knew that was from Seiki who Ryoshi and the others might’ve taken without Raiko’s knowledge?

And then she said it. Well, not it. She said his name. He never gave her his name. The only time it was ever uttered was when Aoi said it out of habit. So how did she know it and why did it seem like she knew him? Better yet, why was Raiko overcome with such strong emotions about her and about her actions towards Ryoshi and the others?

“I don’t--”

Raiko’s head started to pound and pound, his vision pulsating, flashing between the present and the past. As each flash got increasingly quicker, the vividness of the same image as before: the sight of a cherry blossom tree in the center of some village and the sight of what was once a blurry, young girl, sitting high up on a branch; except this time around, she wasn’t blurry. As clear as the cherry blossoms around her were, Raiko saw her. She was, at that age, pretty and regal. Her dark hair tied up in a traditional bun and her smile pure and innocent. And as he looked up, the lips the smile was created from said a single word. And at that same moment, Raiko heard the same word being uttered as if he his consciousness was in both past and present.

”Raiko!”

This one word changed everything for Raiko. He gripped his head so tight that he let out a screeching yell, his demonic energy bursting around him. The bright, deep red aura from before had returned, but this time it was organized and precise. It fed off of Raiko’s emotions, which were now focused on Ryoshi, taking the demon by surprise as a burst of energy took the shape of a dragon claw, forcing Ryoshi back about three feet, effectively removing his grip upon Ren’s neck.

"Master!" Kage and Aoi said in unison, rushing to his side, though the surprised looks on their faces were more about who did it.

“Raiko..why?”

When their eyes met Raiko’s, he had Ren in his arms, resting her staff in her own arms. “Because I finally remembered who this woman is. I just hate that it took so long,” Raiko said to Ren, looking into her eyes. “I am sorry, Ren. I couldn’t go to the village because I was protecting you from them, but that is no longer necessary.”

Raiko had directed his full attention on Ryoshi and the others. From what he saw, he knew they were still in a state of shock, though Ryoshi seemed more amused than anything else. “Here I was beginning to wonder when you’d finally grow that pair you were so full of when we took you from that village.” Ryoshi stood up, dusting himself off, looking over to Kaito. “They needn’t worry from me, my darling. As far as I am concerned, they do not matter to me anymore."

“They aren’t?” Aoi looked surprised as he glanced towards Ryoshi’s way.

“Did I stutter?”

“N-no, master. But what about the priestess and how she was going to banish you?”

Ryoshi knew that Aoi had more than those words for him, but when the demon looked at Aoi, the blue-scaled demon saw the look of fear in Ryoshi’s eyes. The amount of pressure exerted from him was enough to make even the strongest demons submit to his will.

“i-I’m sorry for questioning you, Master.”

Ryoshi decided to ignore Aoi and Kage, choosing to only focus on the smoke from the distance. “You better hurry or you might not be able to save that village of yours.”

Confused, Raiko was wondering what he meant. Only when he turned around and saw what Ryoshi was looking at did Raiko see what he meant. The smoke in the distance and sight of flying demons from the Desert Wastelands opposite of where Serpent Mountain was were hovering over Seiki. What was even worse, fires raged throughout the village.

“What’s happening over there?”

“What indeed. You better go, Raiko. And remember. This is where our partnership ends. Come this way again and you will have no mercy.”

Though he was livid at Ryoshi, Raiko had more pressing concerns than just what Ryoshi just said. He had to leave with Ren, though he would stop himself for a minute. “Kaito, you better stay here. I imagine Ryoshi won’t hurt you,” Raiko at Ryoshi, “right?”

“My beloved is safe with me. And as soon as she wishes it, we will send her home with Aoi here. Now, go, Raiko! Go save your village.”

There was a sense of acceptance and even some respect between the two. Raiko knew he would have to return to the mountain at some point. He didn’t know when or if it would be wise of him to do so, but something Raiko knew was that, if he did return, it would be a fight nobody would ever forget.

And so he left. With Ren in his arms, they went down the mountain.

Meanwhile, when they left and Kaito was sent with Kage to get her fed, Aoi stood next to Ryoshi. They watched Raiko travel down the mountain like proud fathers of their son. “Hard to believe he’s all grown up.”

“That he is.”

“Are you sure it was not to tell him who is really behind all of this?” Aoi asked Ryoshi.

“He wasn’t ready to know the truth, Aoi. I’m sure he’ll figure it out sooner or later.” Ryoshi was confident of this.

Aoi wasn't so sure about that. “How do you know?”

“When he finds out the truth about his father, he’ll have questions that only we can answer. After all, that’s the least I can do for my younger brother.”

@HaleyTheRandom We know it wasn't intentional. Truth be told, in these sorts of rps, similarities are bound to happen. But as Hero said, checking which types are represented for is a good idea just so situations like these don't happen that often. But hey! No harm done. :D
n the time of the reveal,
All shall make sense.
But for now, just enjoy the ride~



There was a moment before they had set off from the grasslands to the mountain that Raiko was worried. Though Aoi and Kage were typically laidback and often acceptive of his usually-lax demeanor and the actions that always followed from it. His biggest worry was when he saw that priestess’ staff start to react when Aoi and Kage approached them. While he had no personal attachment to the girls and would likely not cry over the spilled milk, he didn’t want to see any blood being shed when the situation got a little tense. Thankfully for Raiko’s quick thinking, it was resolved before the problem got worse. The mention of Ryoshi and Kaito was what saved this from turning ugly.

Oh if only that’s where it stopped. Before anything could be done to prevent the next course of action, specifically on Aoi and Kage's part, the two respectively had rendered the trust that Raiko thought he had with these two to nothing but mush. Revealing his name wasn’t the thing that did it, though the one called Ren seemed to be taken by surprise by it. No, what really did it was Kage snatching the staff from her hands and then, of all things, Aoi speaking about eating her.

Raiko hid his actual worry about just how serious they were about that when he looked to the two women. “Don’t worry, it’s just a figure of speech.” Raiko was lying of course. He knew that, while Aoi and Kage liked him and gave him free reign on most things, they never feigned the joy they had out of eating humans. Still, Raiko wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to these two. He wasn't one that offered to bring them to Ryoshi, so they were his responsibility.

The half-demon looked over to Ren’s direction, seeing frozen where she stood. For whatever reason, she wasn’t able to register anything that Raiko had said to her. Whether he repeated her name or waved his hands in front of her, she was lost in her own world. “Ah well, there’s no time for this.”

Letting out a sigh, Raiko scooped her up, supporting her neck and legs with his arms. He was easily able to lift her up and run while she was still in her arms. Whether or not she snapped back into it wouldn’t matter because the distance that Raiko’s own speed allowed him to cover had them arrive at the base of the mountain within a minute. It didn’t take much longer than another twenty seconds for Raiko to catch up to Kage and Aoi as they reached the top of the mountain where the Shadow Serpents all resided. And though the return of Raiko and Ryoshi’s top demons was a welcomed sight, Raiko saw nearly instantly the vile snickering the others had when they caught the scent of humans.

Raiko glared at all of them, his eyes glaring red. “If you want them, you’ll have to go through me.” He declared, firmly putting them on notice.

That seemed to set them straight. Raiko could hear Aoi and Kage laughing, though they didn’t comment. Instead, the group traversed a few minutes away from the common area of the mountaintop to where Ryoshi was always at. Unlike before, however, Raiko noticed that Ryoshi wasn’t drunk. On top of that, he didn’t appear to be happy, specifically with Raiko.

“So what’s this I hear about you interacting with the humans, Raiko?”

“Now before you lose your shit, maybe just hear me out.”

“I gave you one rule. You are to not interact with them. Did I not make this clear when we took you in?”

“Now hold on just a--”

“And here I thought you had it in you. I thought you would be loyal to those who looked after you.”

“WILL YOU JUST LISTEN TO ME, YOU ASSHOLE!” At that moment, a massive pulse of demonic energy came from Raiko’s body, flaring up a deep red color, the shape of a dragonic-like spirit hovering three feet above him.

“Is this really how you want to play it, Raiko?” Ryoshi stood up, the demon revealing its form to be a humanoid demon of humanoid size. He had pale white skin with a scaly skin, though it wasn’t nearly as bad as Aoi. His was subtle. He had white hair and wore a dragon skin pelt over his head.

As soon as Ryoshi took a step forward, his own demonic aura flaring up, easily outweighing Raiko’s. The sudden move by Ryoshi had caused Raiko to stand his ground, but inside he wasn't prepared to fight Ryoshi right here and now. It had seemed that Aoi and Kage were thinking the same as they would prepare to back up, their feet sliding backwards against the dirt. It did seem as though the two were about to fight, but Ryoshi’s aura disappeared as soon as he saw Kaito next to Aoi. “My Kaito! You’ve come to me!”

“Well if you would have listened to me, I would’ve told you we brought her to you,” Raiko commented, scoffing.

Ryoshi had completely ignored Raiko and ran past him, picking up Kaito in a loving embrace.

Meanwhile, Raiko looked over at the priestess. She didn’t seem to be out of her daze. “You okay over there?” Raiko asked her, snapping his fingers in front of he rface, hoping to get her attention.
@SouffleGirl123 Andy Samberg might just be a tad too old for a teenager. Michael Cera could work. Or since it wasn't taken, Matt Bennett.
@TheIrishJJ
Kieran seems to be just a touch on the older side.
In the time of the reveal,
All shall make sense.
But for now, just enjoy the ride~



Raiko just stood there, trying his best to keep the two pupils looked at the priestess exactly where they were. He wasn’t the kind of demon who typically a perv (as Kaito called him). He just happened to be a guy (half demon wasn’t it?) who had human needs. It wasn’t as though he wanted to make these two human women feel uncomfortable., yet Raiko couldn’t hide the smirk as he watched the two women act very differently. While the priestess was acting quite priestess-like, it was the other one that showed no shame in her form. No matter how much the half-demon tried, Raiko couldn’t keep his gaze from falling below the eyes.

And it was in that moment the priestess seemed to reprimand Raiko - almost to the point where she threatened him with that staff of his. “I wish you all the luck in the world with that,” he teased her, still smirking at both of these busty women.

Much to his delight, Raiko got exactly what he wanted. These two, though they were quite wary of him. He didn’t understand why they were. In all honesty, he came in peace. Despite his lecherous tendencies - something Raiko doubtless unintentionally inherited from Ryoshi - he was of no danger to these two. As he had told Kaito if he really was a danger to their well-being, that staff, which still made Raiko feel funny as if he knew it, would have vaporized him as most priestess staffs tend to do to demons. Considering that was neither here nor there, Raiko shrugged at the comment.

As soon a she was about to lead them, Kaito said a name that seemed oddly familiar to him He couldn’t quite put his nose on it. When he was about to turn around, Raiko had another flash of a memory. This one was of the same tree as before, but this time he could see it clearly. It was a Cherry Blossom tree. He thought he saw the shape of...someone in it. The image was fuzzy and he couldn’t quite make it out.

Why did I just see that?? Raiko shook his head, looking at the two women behind him. “Very well. Let’s go!”

Raiko led the way out of the village, earning some glares and other disapproving glances from the villagers, some even shouting at him. Truth be told, Raiko zoned them out. They weren’t important to Raiko, but if he mouthed back, he’d be delayed, so he didn’t want to risk it. Besides, it wouldn’t matter. Halfway across the grasslands, they were met by two demons Raiko knew would meet them. He’s surprised that they took as long as they did.

“Ladies, I’d like you to meet two very important demons.” In front of them were Aoi and Kage. Aoi was a large, muscular demon with a body full of blue scales. He had a dragonic face and he bore a single shoulder guard that went from his right shoulder to this left waist. He wore black pants and had a large sword on his back that he called Azure Venom. “This here is Aoi. Don’t let his rugged good looks fool you. He’s quite the softy.” Raiko teased.

“You’ve really done it now, Young Master.” Kage spoke, stepping from behind Aoi.

“Oh, Kage, I didn’t see you there.” Raiko used his left hand as a visor. He often forgot just how short Kage was. Compared to the bohemoth that Aoi was, Kage was a midget. STanding only five feet tall, Kage was wrapped in a long black cloak and had a scaley skin that was a very dim green with golden eyes.

“What were you thinking? YOu were given strict instructions to not interact with the humans.”

“What I believe I was told was not to interact with the humans of Seiki. These are humans from the village of Ryoshi.”

Raiko saw their mouths close, almost as if they were shut up by the mention of Ryoshi’s name.

“So, you mean these two are villagers of our master’s namesake?”

“Even better!” Raiko smirked, grabbing Kaito’s arm, pulling her forward. “This here is the human known as Kaito. She is, as I am to understand it, is Ryoshi’s woman!”
@TheIrishJJ Okay, so here's who I've thought of so far:

In place of Ally Sheedy, you could use India Eisley. She has the look and even has a sort of weird look that you were looking for in Ally.

In place of the nerd, perhaps another Victorious alum, Matt Bennett(known for playing Robbie). He's plenty nerd-esque if you ask me. Alternatively, Daniel Radcliffe or Asa Butterfield could apply here.

And in place of Matthew Brodrick (the cool/jock type), that's a wide open pool. My top choices for this role would be KJ Kapa(is known for his role on Riverdale as Archie Andrews), Dave Franco (younger brother of James Franco), and if you're not opposed to a different ethnicity, Chinese actor, Ludi Lin could apply here, too.
@TheIrishJJ Ah. I must've glossed over that detail. But my original point stands. They are too old - even in their younger forms - to portray teenagers (in our opinion). However, if you want some suggestions for "nerdy" and "cool" types, we can help you with your search. In fact, I have a few ideas if you're interested. You can use them as a sort of guide for your search. :)
