Rowan sat in the back room of the library, his legs swinging over the edge of the work table. He sighed sadly, quite bored with his life chained to the library.

Shin walked into the library in his usual suit and top hat. When he walked inside, he quickly put his umbrella down, angot the water off of it by shaking it outside the door. When he finally shut the door, he looked around and got a good look at the place. He looked outside at th pouring rain and sighed sadly before walking around.

"Well, i suppose i should look around untill i find 'that' book."

Rowan came out of the backroom, reading an old fantasy book.

Shin caught sight of a young man, and his eyes locked onto him. He walked up to him, and placed his umbrella in the rack.

"Do you know where the history section is?"

Rowan looked up and nodded. "Its near the back, on the right hand side. Do you need help with anything?"

Shin nodded and then bowed slightly. He opened his shirt, revealing the mark to the man.

"Do you know where any books containing this mark is? It's very important."

Rowan blinked and glanced around quickly before nodding. "Follow me," he said, leading him to the back room. "Its a very old book that the librarians don't bother to put out on the shelves anymore. Miia told me its cause of all of the strange things happening around here lately."

When the boy mentioned Miia's name, Shin's left eyebrow slightly rose, bu he quickly went back to his normal expression. He took his hat off and foollowed the boy to the back room.

"Well, hopefully it'll hold some very important answers."

Rowan grabbed a box off one of the shelves and started to look through it. "Miia knows a lot more about this section than I do, but she did show me this book once." He pulled out the book and flipped to the page with the mark on it.

Shin walked over to the boy, and looked at the book.

"This Miia sounds very smart."

Rowan nodded and gave the book to him. "She is one of the few friends I have left. I'm Rowan by the way."

He extended his hand out to shake Rowan's hand, a warm smile on his face.

"Shin, i'm Miia's boyfriend. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Smiling, he said, "Miia has told me about you. She's quite attached to you, but you seem to make her happy."

Shin's smile slowly turned, blank and he looked at the ground before finally looking back up at Rowin.

"The book, what does it say?"

"That mark you have is a curse given only by the Wolverine King, Shabaku. He is the demon who eats dreams, hope, and light," Rowan explained.

Shin thought it over for a minute before asking a few other questions.

"How do you break the curse?"

"Well," Rowan said slowly. "First, you have to find one of the souls of the Wolverine King... he has many scattered throughout the world, monitoring the various people who he has stolen things from."

Shin punched the wall with his fist, and he cursed beneath his breath.

"Is that the only way?"

"Its either that or you have to kill the Wolverine King's woman..." Rowan said slowly. "And death doesn't stop the curse either. Anyone who is important to you or you have come in contact with, will be hunted by the Wolverine King if you commit suicide..."

[suze=9]Shin opned his eys in realization of what he almost did to Miia, and then he looked down at the ground.

"Rowan, how close are you and Miia?"[/size]

"Extremly close," Rowan said, not noticing Shin's obvious discomfort. "She is my best friend."

Shin looked up, and then got off of the wall. He looked back at Rowan, his eyes not visible thanks to his bangs.

"Do you, 'like' her?"

"Like as in girlfriend/boyfriend? No," Rowan said, taking the book to flip through it. "We're close, but I have no interest in her like that." He glanced up at Shin and said, "So don't worry. Miia wouldn't cheat on you anyway."

He shook his head slowly before walking close to Rowan and placed a rose and a note in the book.

"If i manage to kill this thing, but die in the process, you give these to her. Swear to me you will."

Rowan glanced up at him and nodded. "You'd better not die though... she'll follow you pretty quickly."
