Gabriel's fight with Kato and Asano ended the moment Tamika and Matsuo showed up, right now they are trying to figure out exactly what is going on, Tamika explained that the four of them are onmyoji in training and the reason they attacked Gabriel was because they show his different aura and they were cautious about it...

Tamika-So, tell me about you, Gabriel-san.

Gabriel-There isn't much to say.

Tamika-Don't play games, there are four of us, we can all see your aura, dark, evil, furious but also kind and righteous, what kind of being possesses such aura?

Gabriel-I told you, I don't...

Mak-Let me explain, when I told you that Gabriel isn't good with words, that wasn't a lie.

Asano-This is getting boring, let me fight this guy.

Tamika-You clearly are a stupid looker.

Asano-I knew you liked me, Tamika-chan.

Tamika-Idiot, this guy went toe to toe with Kato without using any kind of magic, this strange aura sure isn't for show, who knows what could have happened if I didn't step in.

Kato-Shimoda-san is right, Gabriel-dono was able to keep up with me with just his physical strength.

Gabriel-(I am surprised that this guy kept up with me even though I have a vampire's strength).

Tamika-I will ask once again, tell me what you are.

Mak-I'll talk.

Tamika-And you, Mak-san, what's your connection with Gabriel, why is a goblin accompanying such a weird person?

Mak-I see, you can see past the glamour spell.

Tamika-No, your spell is able to keep your true appearance from us but I also recognized your aura, weak in power but extremely strong character.

Gabriel-What do you know? They know you are weak.

Mak-Shut up.

Tamika-Excuse me, I am still here and I want an answer.

Mak-Let me explain, Gabriel and I are part of a team of individuals who take care of unjust violence performed by supernatural creatures, Gabriel's origin is unknown even to him, as much as we know his powers are a mix of hellfire and holy light...

Matsuo-Impossible.

Mak-That's what I thought when I first show it, Gabriel show them.

Gabriel focused a small amount of his energy at his hands, just enough to demonstrate what Mak has said...

Matsuo-Woah.

Tamika-I believe you, continue.

Mak-As I said, we are part of a team, back home there are two more people, a young esper girl that I rescued from the road and a scientist who worked for the military on skin tissue of vampires, he is the one who installed a device on Gabriel's chest that is keeping the opposing cells from fighting each other, it is also capable of absorbing new cells and adding them to the vessel that is this brilliant idiot...

Gabriel-Screw you.

Tamika-Show me this device.

Gabriel-It is connected to my heart, the only thing I can show you is the scar that I have.

Tamika-That will do.

Gabriel lifted his shirt to reveal the only scar that is left in his body, the scar from the operation that Kevin did, his vampire powers healed every other scar that he had since then.

Mak-See, now Gabriel and I came to Japan because we have a serious problem, back home a Shinigami appeared and killed multiple people before we casted a spell to bind it in one spot, none of Gabriel's attacks were able to damage it.

Tamika-The Shinigami are death spirits, why would it come to your country to claim souls?

Mak-That's the problem, this one was a stray, no longer bound to Yama, it was acting on it's own.

Tamika-A stray Shinigami? That makes no sense, the Shinigami are powerful but they are loyal to the king of the afterlife.

Mak-That's what we thought, this one is called Koma, he said he served another powerful master, a god of death that has now awakened.

Tamika-Then it wasn't a stray, once they live the service of Yama they lose the protection that the god has given them, this one must be protected by it's new master.

Mak-Maybe, we came in Japan in search of you guys, I hoped that you would have a way to deal with a Shinigami and that you would teach Gabriel the way.

Tamika-You claim to protect people from monsters yet you do not belong to any organization.

Mak-What?

Tamika-There are plenty of people who do this kind of thing, protect humans from the threat of supernatural beings, the onmyoji, the Vatican, the shamans of the south, Asano has worked with the Vatican before, they should be the ones that take care of these problems, your story doesn't add up, why is there a team of four fighting?

Gabriel-You knew about all of these people?

Mak-No, I posses the memories and the knowledge of a dragon, he probably wasn't around when these groups formed.

Tamika-The onmyoji are around for centuries fighting oni and yokai.

Mak-The Vatican must have a secret force then.

Tamika-Yes, and your region is under their protection. I will say it again, your story doesn't add up.

Mak-(This is difficult, Gabriel was in fact just killing creatures that didn't provide any danger, my village was the first case).

Gabriel-My story? What do you people know about our story? What do you know about the fights I have been in!?

Mak-(Oi, the only major thing Gabriel did was probably defeating Warren. Marbas, the succubus and Eric also, was either revenge or mercenary work, this is bad).

Gabriel- Where were you and this Vatican when vampires threatened lives, huh!? Where were you then!? I am doing what others aren't!

Tamika-While being on a rogue team?

Gabriel-Being in an organization doesn't give you more authority, it doesn't justify your actions nor it demeans mine!

Mak-(True, but how do you go against them?)

Gabriel-I am taking action to bring justice while others turn a blind eye, the military investigated vampire DNA and Kevin lost his wife because these people stuck their nose in something they don't understand!

Kato-Gabriel-dono...

Gabriel-Where were you? Where was the Vatican when an esper planned to create a weapon to destroy cities?

Mak-(Even though Eric is on our side now...)

Gabriel-Kevin was hunted by the military because he asked for their help!

Mak-(That reminds me, he can't show in any legal documents...That's why he sent us everywhere as students, student passports are easy to prepare, he can't show his face in the ministry to get passports for tourism because he has to give out his information, and the money, he is never concerned about money because he isn't paying any taxes! If he had property then his name would be enlisted to pay taxes, what's with his house then? I figured that he wasn't spending all this time on gadgets for Gabriel, this ashole is altering the files to make it like the house isn't in his name, he is avoiding taxes and being invisible to the radar of the military at the same time! That's incredible).

Tamika-Your actions are the actions of an individual, these organizations you are mocking are fighting every day in the front lines, they have to solve funding issues and keeping everything secret from the public to avoidi chaos, do you think that these acts are easy to perform?

Gabriel-That's why I am the one being in the front lines, to fight without these restrictions.

Tamika-I could consider you an enemy right now but I am giving you a chance.

Gabriel-What I want you to give me is the power to kill that fucking thing.

Tamika-The sacred onmyoji techniques aren't for the likes of you, you won't find anything useful here, I suggest you go back home and forget this nonsense before you find yourself in a bad spot.

Gabriel-There are human lives at stake! Are these "sacred" techniques more valuable than the lives of the people this bastard is going to end?

Tamika-If it was in my jurisdiction I would have come with you and helped but it's out of my power.

Gabriel-You can still teach me how to beat it! That is what I want.

Tamika-If the Vatican finds out that onmyoji techniques were used in their territory there will be major problems.

Gabriel-You said that Asano has worked with the Vatican when they needed him.

Asano-I was asked to work with the Vatican because they needed my help with a yokai, only my attacking spells were able to damage it. Creatures of different origin need different kinds of techniques.

Gabriel-That's why I want to learn your techniques.

Tamika-You are not representing the Vatican, from what you told me you are a rogue group without the support from any major organization. There is no benefit for us to teach you anything, only problems.

Gabriel-There shouldn't be any benefit to saving lives you heartless bitch!

Mak-Let's all calm down for a minute.

Gabriel-What are you talking about? Have you forgotten that we have a Shinigami bound in the forest?

Mak-No, but fighting with Shimoda-san now isn't helping at all.

Tamika-I agree.

Mak-I want to ask you some things.

Tamika-I am listening.

Mak-What exactly are your powers? I am asking because I want to see if there is any other way to do something without putting you at risk.

Tamika-This approach seems better.

Gabriel-Hm...

Tamika-I can muster some of the powers of the god of chaos, Amaterasu.

Mak-You have established some sort of connection with the god.

Tamika-Yes, although I am not the strongest I am the leader of our squad.

Mak-I see...

Asano-As I told you before, I can call to yokais to do massive attacking spells. Cool huh?

Mak-Ok...(Still irritating).What about these two?

Tamika-Matsuo is a medium and he can communicate with spirits to find out possible threats.

Mak-And Kato-san?

Tamika-Kato is the strongest of us, he is channeling the strength of animal origin onis to enhance all of his physical attributes.

Mak-Ok, how is he able to fight onis if he is only using physical strength?

Tamika-He can't damage them, that's my and Asano's job, Kato is dealing with yokais as they have a physical form.

Mak-I see, so if we want to damage this Shinigami we would need powers like yours or Asano-san.

Kato-I wouldn't say I am the strongest though.

Mak-Huh?

Tamika-Kato is just too kind-hearted to admit it but he is incredibly strong, his speed, his strength, everything is at a level beyond humans.

Kato-Even thought I am powerless against spectral foes...

Mak-(This guy is just a powerhouse like Gabriel, he also can't damage spectral beings with his attacks.I know that Gabriel held back a bit but this guy is super strong).

Asano-Now I want to ask something.

Mak-Yes.

Asano-What is that thing on Gabriel's wrist, it blocked my spells quite easily.

Mak-Oh, that would be a gauntlet made from dragon scales.

Tamika-Dragon scales?

Mak-Yes, we performed an infusion and even if it wasn't perfect we got this result, it can completely nullify any elemental attacks.

Asano-That's overpowered as fuck!

Mak-Well it isn't all that useful if you consider that there are many kinds of attacks that it can't block.

Tamika-It is handy nonetheless.

Mak-So Shimoda-san, I see you have the means to fight against everything in your region, a way to attack spectral creatures and the strength to overpower physical threats.

Tamika-Yes, that's why our squad is one of the strongest in Japan.

Mak-But you are still learning, that means there is a place to go and learn some of your skills.

Tamika-The order only accepts those with previous experience, all of us had ancestors that could use the skills of the onmyoji.

Mak-Then there is no way for Gabriel to learn these skills.

Tamika-I am sorry but no.

Gabriel-What are we going to do with the Shinigami now? This is ridiculous!

Mak-I don't know...(If he could use the "Mind Read" right now, we might have had a chance, Gabe is so fucking stupid!).

Gabriel-(Why? Why didn't I practice with the "Mind Read" ability? I now can only use it when I make physical contact with someone cause I have neglected it, Shimoda won't let me get close to her, how am I going to connect my head with hers?)

Matsuo-Shimoda-san, we have a problem.

Tamika-What is Matsuo?

Matsuo-A lightning storm at the south valley.

Tamika-A not so normal lightning storm I presume?

Matsuo-Yes, a spirit told me that there might be a Raiju causing the storm.

Tamika-Raiju?

Mak-The companions of Raijin? The god of lightning and thunder.

Tamika-There hasn't been any sightings of a Raiju for centuries, are you sure about that?

Matsuo-Yes, the ghost was very specific.

Mak-The Raiju is very powerful, are you sure you are going to be ok?

Tamika-No, I am aware of the Raiju's strength, this bad.

Kato-We can't let it roam there.It might hurt people.

Tamika-The south valley is clear of any humans, still, it won't stay there just scratching trees. Why would it awaken now?

Mak-The Raiju are peaceful and calm creatures, there isn't an explanation of why it's here casting lightning bolts.

Tamika-We are going there to subjugate it.

Asano-Hell yeah, a nice fight, I was getting bored with all the talking.

Tamika-See, Gabriel, we are not sitting on our asses like you thought.

Gabriel-I can come and help you.

Tamika-No, you have no business here, I suggest you go back home and let us take care of this.

Gabriel-But...

Tamika-Leave, the next time I see you I won't be so kind to give a chance to escape, I don't know what you are and I don't know if I feel comfortable having you roaming around in Japan.

Kato-Shall we go?

Tamika-Yes, let's go. (I hope we can at least stall it and wait for reinforcements).

Asano-See ya my gauntlet wearing friend, I was hoping to beat you down myself.

Kato-Goodbye, Gabriel-dono, Mak-dono.

Matsuo-Right...

The onmyoji students went on their way to the south valley to fight a Raiju, one of the companions of the thunder god Raijin, it is said that the beast is way too powerful and Tamika is worried if they can make it till reinforcements arrive, they left Gabriel without giving him what he needed and now there is a problem at their hands, Mak tried to talk with them and gave Gabriel the chance to use "Mind Read" as a mean to obtain the skills he needed, but Mak wasn't aware that since Gabriel hasn't been using the ability he got a bit rusty and now he can only read the minds of people directly from touching their heads, this limitation occurred because he hasn't felt the need to use this skill much, now that the onmyoji left he is standing n the yard of the shrine frustrated...
