he finished undressing and kicked away the ruined garments, when the other came back he spoke 'my clothes are ruined, i need a change' please go to my house or if that is too much loan me a shirt.' he stared hard at the other willing him to refuse the request

Mizuki stood there for a moment before he left the room. He soon returned with a shirt and all but threw it into the others face. "Here" He said as he tossed it "This will do for now"

he reflexively grabbed the shirt and began to put it on. he said nothing as the other began to clean up the bloody mess. he had no desire to help. he stared at mizuki's back as the man tidied. he said nothing when his sullied clothes were gathered and taken to the kitchen to be soaked and he said nothing as a wet rag was used to clean the floor. he kept still and quiet the entire time nary a word passing his lips. when everything was corrected and there was no more proof of the earlier mess he spoke up. 'am i to stay or go home?' he did not want to be here but he knew too he did not want to be alone just in case something went wrong in the night

Thats when Mizuki looked to him "Actually" He began "You need to be monitered for the first night to make sure that the now three magics dont interact with each other worse then what has already happened" Mizuki said matter of factly. "So....you are to stay here" In Mizukis head he was jumping for joy. Mizuki was about to say something else when there was a tap at his window. Looking over he saw the glowing eyes of a small creature. Walking over to the window he opened it then took a quick step back as something flew inside.

He almost gave a sigh when he found out what or who it was. When the thing entered it headed right for Luka. It was a silver and slate blue dragon. Before it reached Luka though it changed in a flash of light. That is when Luna appeared before Luka a hand on his face. "Oh my dear child" She said in a motherly tone "I herd what happened...please tell me your alright?" She asked looking him over from head to toe.

he reached instantly for the whistle around his neck. she watched bemused as he did so and he embarrassedly took his hand away. luna. 'i am alright' he said but quickly corrected himself 'i mean, that is i am not alright but i am ok'

At that she turned and looked to Mizuki "You better not have done anything" She said slowly in a calm tone. Mizuki raised his hands "Nothing" He said innocently. Un knowing to the two that inside his head he was laughing.

'actually' he said 'you hav wonderful timing, could you stay here tonight? i have been bleeding fair badly and it would be very useful to have a healer around'

At Lukas words she turned her head and looked at him "Whats wrong with your seal?" She asked. Mizuki was shocked! How did Luna already know of the seal when Mizuki had just found out about it today? Something fishy was going on. "Yes I will stay" He then herd Luna say and he sighed. It was going to be a long night.

he heard the long-suffering sigh but refused to think about. he turned to the dragon, 'it was damaged, and now i can't fix it, instead of neutralizing it the damn thing is pushing it back in'. he grimaced. 'it's tearing up my insides' he looked briefly at mizuki who had given up on whatever he wanted to say and was leaving. 'i think it was the fight, i was fine before then, that incantation, the resurection thing, when my seal broke i think i may have gotten a bit of it stuck in me, i did not know to check when i re-did it

Luna sighed. There was nothing she could do right now but watch over him. She had a feeling that Mizuki was up to no good. And her feelings were never wrong. "Well..." She said looking to Luka "Lets get you some rest then" She said to him.

the night was a restless one, every time he fell asleep it was foxes and wolves and dragons. they fought and ran and leaped and played across swirling landscapes of black. each dream started different but all ended the same, the wolf would always eat the fox, every time, he woke up each time it occured only to go back to sleep and have it repeat. by morning he felt like death had bested him in a drinking contest

Mizuki had stayed away from Luka the entire night leaving Luna to look over the male. Morning came on swift wings to a male with no sleep. For Mizuki had sat there in his study all night going over different things and before he realized the time the sun stretched its long rays into the window of the study. Thats when Mizuki looked up and blinked. Shaking his head he stretched and sighed, coffee was a must right now.

Walking out of his studie he headed for the little kitchen. Going about making his drink he made enough for more then one person. Taking two cups he walked out of the kitchen and headed to the living area where Luka was already sitting there blinking the last of his dream from the for front of his mind "Here" Mizuki said pacing the male a cup before taking a seat beside him on the couch not caring at this moment in time if the other protested.

Luna looked at them both. She could easily go with out sleep for weeks at a time so seeing the two almost sleepless drones infront of her made her smile and want to laugh 'You two really need to get more sleep" She said in a mocking tone which earned a leveled glare from Mizuki that could make ice shiver.

he was tossed blearily into the waking world one last time right before a hand offered him what smelled like coffee, he did not like coffee but he took it gratefully enough, the smell alone was enough to dredge up his mind from the haze of bad dreams. he did not smile but in his gratitude he offered no frowns either. the tinkle of laughter broke him fully of his tiredness, he looked over to the dragon wondering what she had found funny.

Mizuki shook his head then taking a sip of the hot drink "This is going to be a long day" He sighed before standing. Walking back to the kitchen he took a moment to head out the back door. Walking partways down he reached up and removed Luka's now dry and clean clothes from the line. He couldnt help but to smile as she smell of wind dried clothes reached his nose. Walking inside he went straight for Luka and handed the male his outfit "When your awake fully get dressed" He said "Your already late" He said with a smile.

he snapped to attention at that. late. he hurried and dressed his coffee forgotten. he did not pay attention to the other two watching him, when the last of it was on he ran out the door, his books and papers were left untouched on his doorstep he crossed over and grabbing it ran to his classes hoping the horticulture teacher would understand why he had missed most of the class

Mizuki wanted to laugh so he did and this earned him a glare from Luna "that was mean" She siad in a disaproving tone. "How? I told him the truth" Mizuki said after his laughter and she just shook her head.

he made it to class right as it should have ended but there was no chatter no movement in the halls, he peeked in, the class was empty. he blanched then laughed, it was the week-end break, he could not however be angry at the other man however it was his own fault for not even being able to realize the lack of students. he turned back around and went back the way he had just come.

Mizuki sat there and looked to Luna who still glared at him "But its a the weekend" She said and Mizuki shrugged his shoulders "I never said what day of the week it was or what he was late for" He said "Its his fault for reacting the way he did so fast" He said in a laughing tone.

he stopped by the mess hall on his way back, by now he was starting to feel queasy again so he got himself nothing, he had apples rolled oat sticks and honey for the other two. he hoped, pocketing the food, dragons were omnivorous. he was slow in his return, on the one hand eager to get back to luna, a thousand questions waiting to be asked and on the other dreading mizuki, a thousand more that he did not want answers to. though he had the mind to at least grab his blankets and a spare change of clothes first. he even took his paints though he knew he could not reapply his seal.

he waited a while at the door before knocking to be let in. he said nothing as the door opened, he felt it was too final, too damning, a door into the unknown sealing his fate. he walked in

Mizuki sat there in silence. Shortly after the male had left Luna fallowed saything there was something that she needed to take care of. He nodded his head and watched her leave before closing the door behind her softly. That is when he sat down where he now and just thought of differnt things until a knock came to the door. With out moving anything but a hand he motioned for the door to open and it did revelaing a Luka standing there with some of his belongings. "Well dont jsut stand there" Mizuki said.

he didn't say anything for a moment hoping the other would have the sense to move out of the way. he did not, so luka pushed lightly past him. he entered into the room and looked around for luna. dropping his belongings in a corner he reached into his pockets for the food. 'luna?' he called. she did not answer so he turned to the other and asked 'when is she getting back?' when he got no answer he blanched. luna had left him alone. he made a face but offered the food anyway. 'here, you can have her half too' he turned to his things on the floor. he should not have dropped them, he needed to put them away somewhere. he regathered it all and moved it to the couch.

Mizuki looked to him with a quizzical look before he shook his head. "I dont know when she will return" He said shrugging his shoulders "She left saying there was something that she needed to do" He said before sitting down more more. Mizuki looked to Luka then. Just looked well wrather stared before he caught himself and he looked away. It was going to be another long day and night.

"Well...better time then any" He said thinking if Luna came back and saw him doing what he was doing that she would flip. Walking over he sat right down beside Luka. Taking the arm that held his seal he removed the shirt part way looking at it. The color on the underside was started to change from black to white. 'So it is working...' Mizuki thought as he removed his chrystal once more.

Taking it and placing the tip within the middle he began the proccess once more this time it would take longer and cause Mizukis body some unwanted stress but he would deal with it. So they just sat there, in silence. Mizukis pale hand holding Lukas arm from the under side of it. His fingers spread out for a better a grip.

Though he couldnt help his actions that fallowed he didnt even know what compelled him to do it but it was to late to turn back now. What with his thumb lightly rubbing back and forth as if to south the male before him.

he saw his arm as his shirt came off, either the bruising had grown much darker or else his seal had paled, he did not want to think what it would mean if it was not his skin making it look that way. he held back a his as his arm was held, the molted splotches hurt as bad as any bruise would and the size of it ensured that there would be no missing it either. he sat still in his pose for several seconds before a new sensation could be felt. he stiffened as the other began to absentmindedly rub his arm. the two hands worked in sync, the first running a pattern through his seal and the second making broad sweeps at the same shape. he blushed lightly and looked away. in the future he would blame himself for having left himself open, a moment of unpreparedness, he certainly did not expect it, but as he looked away mizuki stopped his ministrations and pulling on his arm brought luka to him and kissed his neck where it reached the jaw. he froze.

Mizuki didnt even know what he was doing but it was to late for thoughts. Before he knew it his lips were on the other males neck before his in a chaste kiss. Mizuki froze. He paused a moment before his mind screamed out at him. Part of it said 'waht are you doing! stop!!' The other said 'OH HELL YES CONTINUE' Mizuki was unsure of what part of his brain to listen to.

Pulling back a little Mizuki hung his head slightly his bangs falling into his face covering the light pink hue that spread across pale cheeks. He was unsure if he should say sorry of he should of continued. Well either way the moments comming would tell him as he jsut sat there still doing the job on the males arm as if nothing happened.

he did not realize he had stopped breathing until the other started back at his magicking. he let it out in a slow tremble, part of him wanted the man to keep kissing him but it was quickly tossed from his mind, he could not however do much more than that. and so remained in the position he had been put into, only his heart gave anything away

Once he was finished Mizuki removed the crystal and put it back around his neck with one hand. He soon realized that the hand that was holding the other males arm remained where it was. Regretfully he pulled it away slowly with his fingers brushing the underside of Lukas arm. "I...Im sorry' Mizuki said before he stood up. He didnt know what made him say that but it was to late now. The words lingered in the room for what seemed like forever before he turned to walk away. Though he stopped dead in his tracked as he felt a warm hand grab his arm.

"i..."he started. "i did not mean to..i" he did not know where the words were coming from but came they did "i can't...i, i don't know" he looked anywhere but at the other "why, why did you do that?" he meant to release the other then but his hand betrayed him and stayed firmly attached to the man in front of him

Mizuki stood there for a moment and thought of what the other said. Why had he done what he did? Even to him it didnt make sence. He then turned his gaze and looked to Luka. He was not sure if he should say that he didnt know or make up some lie to tell the young male before him. He decided that the truth was the best thing "I...I dont know" He said looking to Luka "But...I dont regret it" He said with a soft smile and half lidded eyes.

he kew he would, if it was anyone else maybe not, but because it was this man he knew it would be most regrettable but at that moment he did not care, he wondered if he was bewitched, he hoped he was bewitched. he prayed to the goddess, as he leaned in towards the other that he was not acting of his own free will

Mizuki watched as Luka leaned forward the others eyes slowly closing. Should he do the same? Who was he kidding! Mizuki leaned forward and met the male half way. Then the lips of both touched and Mizukis free hand went up and wove into the hairs at the back of Luka's head deepening the kiss before he pulled away and looked to him. He was not sure if he should of continued or if he should of stopped. Either way he would let the male before him decide.

as the other pulled awa the realization of what he just did shook him from whatever stupor he fell under. he pushed himself away from the other wide-eyed, turning he bolted for the nearest door

Mizuki stood there a moment shocked. Then he looked as Luka bolted outside and ran as if the hounds of hell were right on his heels. Running to the door Mizuki yelled after him "LUKA!" He said though the other didnt stop his movements. Closing the door behind him Mizuki ran after him with a frown.

he did not know where he was going all he knew is he had to get as far from the other as possible. he passed students and trees he passed gardens and walls, he ran as fast as he could though no matter how he ran he could hear the other behind him. he was violently shopped as he felt a hand grab onto the back of his shirt, he took a tumble into the ground

"LUKA!" Mizuki said again running about behind him. As they passed students and teachers alike began to look at them as if they were crazy. It was not until he past the headmaster that Mizuki thought of giving up on chasing after the other male. But he shook that thought from his head. "LUKA!" He yelled again as he finaly cought up to the male and grabbed his shirt forcing him to stop. Though the slight action caused them to both fall to the ground.

Mizuki was breathing heavy and so was Luka as he leaned over the male looking down at him. He needed to know something "Why...why did you run?" He asked breathlessly "Does my love scare you that much?" He asked almost heartbrokenly.

he looked away and panted, "everything," he said "about you scares me" the other shifted on top of him. he knew his words were damning be he needed to say them. "you don't see me, you never have, you only see him you have eyes for nothing else, you would kill for him and i am the only thing in your way" he gave up then and rested his face in the dirt and grass. "you are the most frightening person i have ever met, but i don't hate you anymore and that scares me more than you ever could"

Mizuki listened to the male below him still panting a little from the long run. Mizuki didnt know what to think of that. He didnt know what to say or do. Then something reached his mind and it was the truth so he thought it was worth a shot to day the least. "I have always seen you" Mizuki said resting all his body weight on one arm as he used his right hand to force Lukas head to turn to look at him. "Before me every day the only thing I saw was you" He said softly to him "My intentions and actions have only been for you" He said.

Mizuki needed to make the male below him clear on somethings "I maybe frightening to most..." Mizuki said "But only because I have seen what this world does to people" He said to Luka "It changes them all for the worse...and if I can save you for the better I will try everything in my power to do that" He said moving his hand to cup the males cheek.

"It hurts my very soul that you find me scary" He said sadly 'You...out of anyone...shouldnt feel that way" He said before he moved away from the male sitting beside him with a knee to his chest and a defeated expression on his face. Mizuki hung his head a little at the thought.

he licked his lips from where he lay, his mouth dry at the words, he felt the other get off him but he himself did not move "you lie" he said with certainty "do you not see it? you are still talking to him even as the words come from my mouth" he turned his head slightly then. "look at me and tell me, how many times have you thought of him, of your lover, how many times have you remembered something i was not there for, how often have you looked for a response a cue, anything, to prove i am your luka?" *he licked his lips again and lifted himself from the dirt. "if you are saying you see me then prove you are not looking for something else, burn your books, throw away that dead boy named luka, he is the most frightening thing about you, dispel that phantom and i will not run" he shuddered "if he dies then i am guaranteed life" he coughed then hacking up more black, he spat it over his shoulder "or at least what is left of it..."

Mizuki sat there. Luka was right. Everything he did, saw, spoke...was for Lucus. How was he to throw everything away just like that? All in one shot? But...if it ment that he kept the now standing male before him...would he do it? Mizukis mind was working a mile a minute. He was going over everything in his mind on how the outcomes would be. Mizuki chased after his dream of reuniting with his lost love...but this male before him.

Luka was giving him a chance to start anew...then why was he so hesitant of taking the offer? Would...would he be betraying Lucus if he dispelled him and went for Luka? Mizuki gave a growl at the torments his mind was going through. He was not sure if he could do it but..."I...will try" Mizuki said before looking up with heart broken eyes.

He couldnt win. It was one or the other it would seem. And with only one here to defend himself he was swayed to that choice. Though a little voice in the back of his mind screamed at him not to.

"please" he asked, looking finally into the eyes of the other "do not try, either do or do not" he knew he was asking too much but it was all he had left to cling to

Mizuki looked to Luka and saw the pain hidden within those eyes and he was not sure how to react towards that. "It...will take me some time" He stated to him hanging his head once more "When its all that I have knowen for the past 420 years...its hard to let go just like that" He said sadly the tear rolling down his cheek unoticed by Mizuki himself till it fell off his cheek and hit his hand.
