"then..." he looked around though it wa really into himself that he looked "then take me in his place!"

Mizuki stopped anything that he was doing...even his thinking seemed to hult at the males words before him. What was he to do to that? He didnt even know what to say as he raised his head and looked to Luka. "You...would still have me?" Mizuki asked him with a bewildered look on his face "Even after everything..." Mizuki continued.

"if it would save my life" he did not mention that under different circumstances he most likely would have done so willingly, instead he stared the other directly in the eye as unflinchingly as he could "i would. will you take my offer?"

Mizuki stood and whiped the dirt from his hands. Looking to luka he thought for a moment. Would he be doing the right thing. I mean how would the male before him know that all was gone? Sure he would have to give up the diarys and some belongings that were dear to his heart...but wouldnt he be gaining so much more? "Alright..." Mizuki said finaly. Over the time spent with the young man he found something he could hold on to...and it was something that was just Luka...

he let out a breath he had been holding ever since he found the diary. though a new weight settled in his stomach, by saving his own life he had condemmed himself to whatever it was the other wanted, without black thoughts of resurrection and dark magics though he had no clue what that was. lifting himself fully from the dirt he walked into the waiting embrace of the man before him

(sorry it's lame, i was making dinner and i am too behind on /all/ my posts, i will do better!)

Mizuki stood there with his arms open waiting for the shorter male to stand and come forth. When he did Mizuki rapped tender loving arms around Luka bringing the male closer to him with a small smile "I will...do anything" Mizuki said to him in a whisper "All you need to do is ask..."

'anything...' he repeated. he said nothing as they walked back to mizuki's house. not to anyone passing by not to the man himself, luka felt cold, he would make himself love this person, until his life was saved or he died one, all promises made were kept, that is how it had always been, that is how it would be, he wondered if his nanna felt so resigned when his great grandfather cheated and won her hand. it was a sad irony that though he sang nothing he stilled called doom in on his own shoulders. they stepped inside silently

As they stepped into the house Mizuki took Luka to his study. That is when he gathered everything that even mentioned the name of Lucus. Except one thing that was hidded from eyes. Taking them into arms he walked past Luka and didnt pause as he spoke "Fallow me" he said and headed to the back of the house. There he took a basin and placed everything within it. And it pained his heart.

Looking to Luka he snapped his fingers and cringed as the smell of burnt paper reached his nose. Turning he looked at the orange and blue flames that covered and ate the books and pictures like a hungry monster.

he shuddered. the burning of books, even books with a history like those had tore at his soul. he watched though, as he kew he must as every last artical burned to a fine powder. magic burned hotter than any true flame he knew. when the last ashes cooled the man leaned towards the pile and blew, dusty soot filled the air and floated to the ground. he could feel the misery of the other come off in waves even as he stood stony-faced. luka put a hand to his shoulder an offer to let himself cry if he needed to while still maintaining distance if he needed that, for the boy had just watched the final death of a madness going well beyond anything he could ever grasp

Mizuki stood there and watched as the soot flew into the air. Everything that he had kept a hold of all these years...gone. A silent tear rolled down his cheek and Mizuki didnt notice. Turning his head he looked to Luka with sad painfilled eyes before he turned silently not saying anything and headed into the house. Taking a spot on the couch in the living quarters Mizuki hung his head his arms resting on his knees. Then the realization of what he did hit him and the tears came in full force.

he felt no regrets as the other trailed off though he did feel shame, this man had gone through so much and here he was adding to it, that it was his own life that was being played with came second to the grief he saw in those eyes. he did not know what else to do so he stood there quiet an still like the settled ash

Mizuki sat there the silence in the room broken only from the soft sobbing that he did. He was regreting his actions. Losing everything that reminded him of the male was gone...all except one thing. Though it would be had to even peer at that at times. Mizuki felt hopeless. He didnt know what to do. It was as if a piece of his heart got ripped out and throwen in with the books and engolfed by flames.

the sun had hit the highest peak by the time he had thought to go in, he passed the still crying other without a word and knelt by his bag, from it he pulled a bit of paper, not parchment, a tablet board and an ink set. he sat on the floor by the other and putting the grind in a corner of the welll ans dabbing it with corked water, his pen-well soaked up the mixture and he put it to paper. the other stpped crying and looked over at what he was making, luka said nothing and continued to draw from memory the little doodles from the diary only he substituted each wold for a bushy-tail fox

Mizuki sat there in his silent sobs before the male before him caught his attention. Looking down to where the male sat by his feet he watched as he began to draw. His heart jumped a little as pictures from the diary poped up onto the page. Though instead of wolfs that was commonly found it was foxes that he drew. Mizuki watched. The tears on his face and bringing his eyes forgotten to the world as he watched the swipe of the pen.

he let the ink flow through him for this was the talent of his family, though it was not seals on books he was singing in to creation with his pen but seals on hearts. he did not look up from his work as the other quieted. his refilled his pen and continued all around the dancing foxes and dragons he wrote seals dozens of them, each a capture each flawed in just such a way to render them unusable. he felt the song flow through him and he began to hum.

Mizuki sat there and listened to the male as he began to hum. Mocing slightly he laid down with his head resting on the arm rest on the other side of the male so he could still watch what he was doing with a smile.

he put down the last of his lines and began the border, the hardest part but the most beautiful, all the parts started and fell back in on a single access, each whirl and loop tying it stronger he crossed the main section again from the corner careful not to touch the tip and trailed up the right side, without lifting the pen he turned the paper and continued curly-ques and waves to rebound the sight, catching the next corner the turned the page again still not lifting bends and dips and ripples to capture the sound, he turned again a final side mirroring the second but for a single line in reverse from the far edge it was not straight but rippled and bowed, it encompassed the entire sheet all the way back around untilhe came back to his starting line his hum became a song then two notes playing off of one another. he tied the two ends together. exhausted he placed the pen down and leaved back eyes closed. when he had regained his composure he gave the seal to the other. 'for your books' he did not smile 'it is not the same but it will keep you company' he dug out a charm and activated the seal, the foxes and dragons sprang to life on the page dancing and running through the page and around the broken seals 'it is made so that the magic will stay for a while after you stop feeding it' he took the charm away but the creatures played a few breaths longer before the enchantment left it. he waited for the man's response

Mizuki took the paper and looked at it watching as the dragons and foxes played together. Running around and jumping, biting, and turgging until the magic died and they ended up with the dragon curling around the fox keeping it protected and safe with the fox licking the dragons snout. It reminded him so much of himself and Luka.

Luka...the male that sat before him. Moving his head he placed a soft kiss on the males cheek before pulling back and lightly speaking into his ear "Thank you..." He said to him. It did mean alot. Those books, they were the last tied that he had to the one he loved...or had loved. Mizuki pulled back a little and looked to Luka waiting for a response.

to his credit he neither flinched nor drew in for another. he turned over his shoulder at the other. i have no more right than you to make someone cry

Mizuki then stood after a moment and went to his study with the parchment in hand before comming back and looking to Luka on the floor. Reaching a hand out he helped the other male up. "Come on...you must be hungry" He stated simply. "That...and your seal needs to be delt with again soon" MIzuki said before walking to the door almost stiffly.

he did not realize he was until the other said as much. he took the hand offered and followed silently. they already had their shoes and so simply left. mizuki in the lead and luka behind a reveres of their earlier trek. they went to the dining hall which had by now began it's supper set and took what they wanted. then silently they left again to make the return trip back to mizuki's home

They left and returned like nothing. No words were said and nothing was done. They simply grabbed what they had wanted and left and it was that simple. Upon returning Mizuki opened the door for the other then fallowed in after him. Though instead of simply sitting at the table and eating he looked to the male. "Come with me..." He said leading him out to the now diming back yard.

Setting his food on the table that was there he looked over then moved the bassen with the ashes over out of the way before returning. By now the sun was setting painting the sky different colors of oranges, reds, and purples. Mizuki then took the crystal off his neck and walked over to a tree that the table was purched up by.

Mizuki then placed his palm on the trunk of the tree holding the crystal to it before he began to speak in his native tongue. Then the flowers on the tree began to glow softly in the darkening night sky. The sakura blossoms dancing in the light breese. Some of the petals falling off around them glowing until they hit the ground.

he watched in awe as the tree burst into a glowing bloom fading white became a candy pink and radiated a light not unlike fairy's glow. the wind picked up several petals and the took off in the breeze, he sighed as the light of the blossoms each winked out one-by-ne a tree a-glimmer

With that Mizuki reached a gentle hand forward reaching out and taking out a glowing petal that fell and rested in the other males hair. Bringing his hand forward the petal rested in his hand before he turned a little and blowing softly letting the petal fall to the ground in a soft lingering light.

he was overcome then by the beauty of the man in front of him, his sad eyes held none of the eager anticipation they normally kept and without it they were a lovely sight to behold his hair shown in the setting light of the sun, cast gold and orange, his hands long and graceful. luka wanted to kiss him then, to forget that this was mizuki, and he was luka and to feel the lips of another person against his surrounded by this small glimpse of nature

Mizuki then looked to Luka infront of him. The light of the tree beside them casting a light pink hue over the male in question. Was it the tree or was it a light blush that showed on the males cheeks. Taking a chance Mizuki took his hand and lightly placed pale fingers on the underside of Lukas chin. Meeting no resistance as he brought up the males chin. His light lavender eyes met that of the males before him befor he dipped his head down and lightly brushed his lips upon Lukas in a chaste kiss giving the male before him the chance to either pull away or deepen the light brush.

he closed his eyes at the touch, he'd care tomorrow about the ramifications of it all but for now his wish was to be granted. putting his hands to the other's face he leaned in and accepted


(oh shit you'd think with the creepy shiz i did with dark i'd be able to kiss a fellah but no i still can't do it XD )

Mizuki trailed the hand that was holding the males chin before him up to brush along a jaw line before lightly resting in the males hair at the back of his head. After a few moments Mizuki pulled away looking at the hue of pink that laid on the males cheeks with a light smile "Come on..." He said slightly motion to the food "Lets eat..." He said before guiding Luka to sit down before he himself took the space before him. The tree beside the only only light now as the stars began to dot the dark blanket of the evening sky.

((lol and it was just a kiss hehe...man I would hate to see how you would react to some rps I do lol))

(it's open-mouth kissing, i'm not into sticking shit into ones mouth just for funsies)

he sat with the other but did not look at him, as far as he was concerned the man and the kiss were two separate things. he ate slowly but without pause just to avoid saying anything he had gone back to sitting still and with the moment gone the mundane pain of his arm had come back to him

Mizuki sat there and looked to Luka infront of him watching as the male did everything he could think of not to look up at him. Mizuki looked down the plate infront of him suddenly not hungry. He was now having second thoughts on everything. If the male before him didnt even want to look or speak to him how was everything going to work out. Mizuki didnt know and he was not to happy about it. He sighed softly lightly pushing the plate infront of him away.

Turning his back on the bench he leaned back into the glowing tree and brought his knees up to rest bent on the bench before him with one curled up to his chest. Taking out a small flute he had on his pocket he raised it to his lips and closed his eyes. In times like this music was his only friend. With that thought he began to blow a light tune comming forth.

he listened as he ate to the pale melonchly notes, after a few bites he brushed his hand on his pants and reached over stoppering the keys of the instrament 'no' he said still not looking at the other, he turned with his eyes still averted he took the flute, mimicing the hand movements of the other he showed how the other played then halting he moved a single finger up and fingered it again. he repeated the action twice then handed it back. 'try it that way, you are doing it incorrectly' mizuki did as he was told albeit sceptically. the tune he drew forth had a honeyed air it did not posses in a lover note, he felt it sooth him, luka sighed in relief and even the tree seemed pleased by the change. the boy went back to his food then and continued as if nothing had happened

Mizuki watched the male as he took the flute saying no. Then moving his fingers telling him to try again. Mizuki almost wanted to yell at the young male before him but kept his anger inside as he brought the flute back to his lips starting the melody over again. Mizuki then couldnt help the movements that took place. Using the magic he had he pressed his back harder into the tree behind him and noted that several petals fell to the table.

With a slight change of tone the petales picked up in a light breeze before they formed into two males. One tall the other short. As the taller of the two grabbed the shorter one in a loving embrace the petals began to dance to the toon. Swaying and swinging each other around to the light music.

'it's easier now to control it, is it not?' he was pleased that the other lost his anger at the sound, any music was a summon even if it was not intended. from the corner of his eye he watched the petals dance, he wondered if the other was thinking of his luka again. it made him bitter but the music took that from him too. he was not content but he was not upset either. it was a safe song, a song that with a little bending could be used as real magic

Mizuki gave a simple nod of his head. He then moved one finger and the tone changed as did the petals. Now a small dragon flew around and played with that of a little fox. They jumped and played with each other to the loops and tones of the music that flowed freely. Mizuki was indeed thinking of Luka and himself...though not the past but the present and the future.

he listened as the other changeged his notes, not to the abhorrition it was before but to a new note somewhere in between, the petals reformed and played out the drawing. he watched for a few minutes when a strange urge came upon him. he snatched the dragon-petals from the air and ate it. the other dropped his instrument into his lap and stared. luka swallowed the bitter petals and hoped he had not further poisoned himself in doing so. he then brushed off the remains of the petal-fox in one clean sweep. he looked the other in the eyes and grabbing his jaw stared for several seconds unblinkingly 'i see you' then the ground rushed up to meet him

Mizuki stared at him as he droped the flute into his lap "What the hell is..." Then the words left his lips as he jumped up and around to catch the other who was on his way to meeting the ground before him. Sighing Mizuki easily picked the other up in his arms with Lukas head reasting on his chest. Mizuki held his shoulders with one hand under the others bent knees "Come on...time for bed" He said not caring if the other protested or not.

Taking him inside he did not look behind him as the trees light grew dimmer and dimmer until the blackness swalloed it whole. Mizuki didnt think twice before walking to his own sleeping chamber before laying Luka down on the bed. He then brushed the hair that floated into the others face away before he stood noticing that the other had already began to doze off.

when he finally came to the light of pre-dawn had begun to stain the room he occupied. he idly noted that the bed he lay in was soft, it seemed strange though for all the beds he had ever laid in since he came to the school were hard and without sway. his mind finally snapped to. he was at mizuki's home, but the teacher's houses were all built the same four rooms and a bath, the man's fourth room was a study, he knew that much meaning by lack of books fireplace bathtub or couch he was in the bedroom. he hesitated to look over and hoed the other had been honorable for once and slept on the couch he himself had occupied his first night there. he turned his head and was faced with the sleeping profile of the other man. he shifted himself and found his clothes were still on his person and he could feel no pain anywhere on his person other than what he went to bed with. shifting his attention back to the sleeping man he wondered why the other had kept his promise, there was no luna here to protect him and he was obviously in no state to protect himself if he was able to go from listening to the flute bewitch flowers to lying in this bed without waking or even knowing he had fallen asleep. he turned his thoughts back outward to the other lying in bed beside him. the man was beautiful but strange looking in his sleep, his hair was long and silky looking like a fairy-tale princess's but his face was strong and sharp like a beautiful villain, everything about his face was sculpted it seemed with a hidden agenda, lovely but in a way that made it seem as if he was not born that way but was molded by unseen hands and simply placed in the world fully formed. he felt the urge to touch that face, to see if it was really real. he reached a hand cautiously over and lightly brushed along the nose. a small shudder ran through him. he rolled over slowly on one arm, using the other he ran his fingers along the man's jawline, the other stirred and his heart skipped. his hand flinched away but the man did not wake. he let out a soft breath and gently put his hand back to the other's face, he trailed the ear then the neck then traveled back up to the sharp nose, he paused there for a moment then leaned in. he took the pad of his thumb and ran it over the lips of the other experimentally he pushed down on the mans lower lip his mouth opened slightly. causing luka's breath to hitch, he desired then to taste those lips, to take advantage of that pliancy, his heart sped up as he leaned in for a kiss. what?. he halted mid dip, his eyed opened wide, these were not his thoughts! his stomach fell out of him. he felt sick and angry 'mizuki' he all but growled 'wake up now!'
