A few days had pa.s.sed since Draig had broken Tsukuba, he had forced the youth's arms to dislocate after losing his temper. The Disciplinary Committee member had cursed Draig in so many ways that the Feratu just snapped after his annoyance had reached an uncanny level. Draig though it would be the end of it with just that however he hadn't been aware of the trio watching the little bout.

They had taken it upon themselves to tell everyone they knew about the encounter as many had been wondering what had happened to the c.o.c.kiest of the Disciplinary Committee as he hadn't appeared for his usual shakedowns since due to his damaged arms.

Draig however being the social b.u.t.terfly that he was had yet to hear of these rumors, though he was curious as to why people kept staring at him. Though there was a new foundation being built in the Deva Academy, workers had come the day before and were working tirelessly around the clock to get it done as soon as possible. If he had to guess it looked like a market of sorts, he figured one of the sn.o.bby brats born to one of the Emperors had complained about the lack of a facility to spend their money.

This thought just caused Draig to shake his head, he hadn't heard from Ari nor Yuki since his little verbal altercation with Keiko but from what he had heard the Faction was growing surprisingly quick recently.

It was at this time that he saw a few younger Deva come rus.h.i.+ng towards him, looking at the symbol emlazoned on their wardrobe it seemed they were from the Mugen Faction.

'Seems they won't take no for an answer after all' thought Draig until he heard the leader of the group speak.

"General Draig, we have been concerned about you" started the youth, he couldn't have been older than fourteen but the address caused Draig to quirk an eyebrow.

"General? Why would you be concerned about me" asked Draig as he was very curious to the situation now.

"Faction Leader Keiko said that you haven't been present at the meeting due to injuries, thus we came to see if you were well" explained the youth causing Draig's eyebrows to shoot into his hairline.

"I am afraid you are confused, I am not a member of any Faction let alone that weakling's little rag tag group" stated Draig causing the group to look at him in shock.

"But Faction Leader said that you joined the moment you laid eyes on her" spoke the groups leader causing Draig's jaw to drop.

"Why don't you take me to this Faction of yours so we can get this straightened out" grunted Draig, he found that his decent mood had become ruined by this information.

The group nodded thinking that Draig had just been jokng before until he heard them mention the latter piece of informaton.

The group lead Draig silently though they kept casting glances back towards him in excitement along with the murmuring of newest Nova, Draig shook his head at these poor fools who had been deceived though he felt a bit of anger at having his name used by someone for their own purpose.

Soon they arrived and Draig widened his eyes as he saw the number of people was actually quite astounding, people looked at Draig oddly before noticing the Rapier strapped to his hip bringing instant recognition as they began to chatter excitedly.

Meanwhile in the miniature manor Keiko was laughing happily, her faction was adding new members daily and it pleased her to see so many people gathering under her banner. Off to the side Ari and Yuki looked as if they had ate something awful causing Keiko to look at them curiously.

"What's wrong you two, rejoice. Our Faction is growing tremendously and we grow stronger by the day" smiled Keiko as she poured them something to drink.

"The Mugen Faction is growing" stated Yuki causing Keiko to nod.

"But not on your merit nor the merit of the Faction" finished the girl causing Keiko to pause in her movement before scowling.

"What does it matter if it is on someone else's merit, it's not as if this little boy toy of yours will find out until he has no choice but to join" started Keiko until she found the door to her office was open and the 'boy toy' she had been speaking of was standing there with a dark look but the group at his side had their eyes widened before scowling.

"You have been quite busy lately" stated Draig as he walked into the room and took a seat before propping his feet on Keiko's desk.

Keiko seeing Draig felt as if her spirit was going to leave her body, he had found out too soon. She hadn't even been recruiting using his name for a whole week but he was here now.

"Ah yes, it seems more people wish to gather to support our cause lately" started Keiko causing Draig to frown.

"Really, then tell me why is that a little flock of birdies has told me otherwise" asked Draig gesturing to the group who had lead him here.

Keiko looked at the group and felt as if she had found her pig headed teammate.

"So what is this I hear about me joining your Faction, last I recall I couldn't stand the thought of following someone so weak" stated Draig causing Ari at the side to place her on her sword.

"I would be careful if I were you, you allowed this to happen. I won't be kind if you draw that blade" stated Draig with narrowed eyes causing Ari to scowl though she did release her sword's grip.

The group that had lead Draig were watching and found that they had indeed been misled, Keiko seemed to notice the look and seemed to gain a nefarious look as she went to grab her knife from her back.

"You move one step and I will kill you where you stand little girl" stated Draig causing Keiko to grit her teeth as she watched the group run out of the office.

Keiko sat back down and looked extremely displeased as the work she had put into recruiting over the past few days would soon be undone.

"Why did you come here, do you really want to tear apart everything I have built up so badly" asked Keiko suddenly causing Draig to raise his eyebrows.

"You built up? Last I recall you couldn't recruit anyone save for these few heirs, tell me how many of those people outside joined only over these past few days. How many of them came under the call of my name" asked Draig causing Keiko to clench her fists which seemed to answer the question.

Ari off to the side watched Keiko and grit her teeth as she slowly began to reach for her sword again until a talisman found it's place onto her chest causing her eyes to widen.

"One more chance" stated Draig before looking at Keiko waiting for the answer.

"A couple dozen.. . . at leat on the first day." stated the girl causing Draig to smile.

"How many on the second" asked Draig causing Keiko to smash her hands against the table.

"All of them d.a.m.n it, you happy now. They all came for you, I had to use your recent fame from the Tsukuba incident to get them here" shouted Keiko with poor timing as several people had come to confirm what they had just been told.

"I see, who is Tsukuba" asked Draig causing Keiko to look at him in shock thinking maybe she had fallen for the lies of the Rumor mill.

"Did you not have a fight with him recently" asked Keiko thinking that she wasn't the only fraud.

"The only person I have fought with recently was some weakling with a Chain link Sword" stated Draig causing Keiko to slump in her seat.

'Some weakling, that's what he calls one of the Villains on the Disciplinary Committee' thought Keiko, he didn't even know the guy by name but had still beat him up.
