A bitter cold, that's all she felt right now, falling through the abyss for what seemed like forever. How on earth did she come to this predicament? Well it all started when the upper first class exorcist went snooping in Mephisto's office, mainly to find any connections to what he had planned for Rin. She was surprised that he wasn't inside for once, and so she carefully shut the window behind her, making sure she didn't make a sound in fear that Neghaus wasn't far away.

That man had always been one of the reason's she had never tried to sneak in before, but thanks to Yukio, and some spiked tea, she managed to break into the Chairman's office. Shura was smart enough to not try and break into his mansion, he had a better eye on things there than here, but she still felt like those dark green eyes were watching her no matter where she went. Stepping out of her thoughts she quietly crept over to his desk, eyeing the locked drawer's.

Piece of cake

She made quick work of the locks, opening them, and pulling out the contents. There wasn't much, all of it seemed to be related to the school. Seeing that she wouldn't get anywhere with the documents she put them back, but when she tried to close the drawer it got stuck. She tried pushing it in forcefully, but that didn't help. Curious, she pulled the drawer out and reached inside the desk, and when her fingers felt a small object she pulled on it and heard a soft click as it fell into her hand. As she moved her arm back she was surprised to find a key.

"It's probably a spare he keeps hidden," she whispered, gazing at the small object; it was silver with the end formed like a figure eight. It was too small for a door, but as she looked at the desk drawer she noticed it was big enough to fit in the lock. Putting the drawer back into the desk she inserted the key and turned it, hearing a small click as she did.

Shura slowly opened the drawer back up and noticed that instead of documents there were three objects inside. The first was a letter which was written in what appeared to be French, but she didn't understand French so that was a loss. The second was a small handbook or journal. And the third was a small pocketwatch with the same infinity symbol but with two rubies' fitted inside the circles. Shura picked up the small handbook and opened it up, flipping through the pages, but it was completely empty. Her hand found its way to the watch, picking it up and pressing down on the top to get it to open. When it started glowing she almost dropped it in shock. Looking inside she noticed that the clock hands weren't moving. She curiously moved the dial at the top, seeing if she could get it started again, but when she did a blinding light engulfed her. As the light faded it felt as if she was falling, but it was so dark she couldn't tell.

Then, with a painful crash, she landed on the ground. Rubbing her head in pain, she slowly got up and brushed herself off. She then looked around and noticed it was nighttime, and what she had landed on was pavement. Rudely forced out of her thoughts, a sudden honking noise rang behind her, but from her sluggish reaction due to her crash, she wasn't fast enough to get out of the way. Searing hot pain from her side as she fell back onto the pavement, and yet again her world slowly faded into black as she thought to herself. What a night.
