What to do now (phae)

[Phae]

Damn him and his soft lips...how could he kiss her so gently and passionatly and then ask her to leave. She was wanting so much more further but she knew that he needed his space and she had told him she would understand. She did understand but he shouldn't have made it so hard to leave. She bit her lower lip and nodded.

Moving to the closet she slipped out of her clothes and reached into the closet her back to Jun who was already studying and pulled down her swordsman outfit. She pulled out the short skirted dress that clasped down the front black in color with gold trim. Over it she placed a black coat that clasped across her chest and flared out from the waist down. She placed her belt over the ensemble and hooked her sword to it before putting on her matching boots that went up to her knees armored as well.

She turned and put her hair up quickly in her traditional braid that went in a circle around her head pinned into place. She turned and smiled at Jun before going to the door her sword swinging from her hip.

"Love you darling send Loish when you're ready for me to come back I'm going to go train." she said and left the room.

[Junpei]

Junpei smiled as his love went about her work, the way she looked now had him biting his lower lip. He looked back down to his book and nodded as she spoke of sending Loish when he wanted or needed her.

“Love you to, I’ll make sure he finds you.”

Junpei heard the door close and sighed softly, he was about to be in for three hours of alone time, time that he would have to spend dreaming of her and working, he didn’t know if he would make it. Taking a deep breath he opened up the book and looked down at the page he had marked. Slowly scanning the page he found the passage he was looking for and started to read.

Summoning is the art of teleportation between planes. Often times a summon spell can be used to bring objects great distances as well, as long as the object or being that one wishes to summon is pictured mentally and their full name known. Assuming that one can form a teleportation seal as well one could be able to feasibly bring something a great distance using little mana.

There are three major types of summoning; blood, pure, and specialist. Blood summoning is the method of summoning most frequently shunned in the magic community, since it usually involves selling ones soul in order to summon something or someone. Pure summoning is more commonly called mana summoning since it uses ones mana reserves and wordology magic to summon. The final form, called specialist magic, is reserved for those who have perfected the art of both types of summoning, and are often known as Magistrate Summoners, this will be covered in later chapters.

Junpei sighed; this would be the first of many similar passages he would have to cover. The worst part was, he was going to try and become Magistrate Summoner, meaning he would have to perfect mana summoning as well. So now came the thing he feared most, he would have to do a mana summoning now. Taking the second book of the pile Junpei flipped it open to the spell he would need to do this summoning. Taking up his second book he stood at the end of the bed, facing out into the open space in the room. Junpei raised his right hand and let his mana collect there.

“Angelo, Evango, tas noratu Des fentare….”

As the simple sentence finished Junpei’s arm began to glow a bright white and then switched over to a dark red, the same color as his walls. He concentrated on the image of the summon seal before him in the book and pictured it around his arm. Sure enough a summoning seal formed around his arm and then shot out, into the center of the room. Junpei watched as the thing turned, split in half, forming two circles that then moved and sealed to his ceiling and floor. A beam of red shot between them and then flickered. In the flicker Junpei swore he saw something but wasn’t sure. The room was dropped into darkness as the window flew closed and the Nether Fire went out.

When the lights flicked back on Junpei was at a loss for words, this was not what he was trying to summon. Evidently the flicker of the lights was the magic reversing and causing a disruption in all magic in the room. Sure enough eh ceiling was out of whack now, off by several months. Looking back down Junpei took in the sight before him, there stood an angel. Junpei blacked out as a wave of white rolled over him.



-3 hours later –

Junpei groaned as he stood up. His head was killing him, it felt like someone had just smacked him upside the head with a hammer, and maybe that’s what had hit him. Either way Junpei was blinking several times to regain his vision and not have a blurred room facing back at him. Loish sat on the desk, still out from apparently the same ordeal. When Junpei stood up he realized he had fallen back onto the bed, and now a stack of crumbled papers was on their, as well as everything else; everything else in the room was the same, the ceiling back to it’s normal self and the Nether Fire torches back on.

Loish, wake up, go get Phaedra, NOW!

Uhhh… Boss?

Go get Phae Loish!

Oh right, sure thing.

The next thing Junpei knew Loish was gone, out the window to go find Phaedra. Junpei sat down on the bed and tried to remember what had just happened. It almost seemed as if that angel had doe something to him, but wait, that was an angel. How had Junpei done that, summoned an angel.. it should be impossible for his dark magic. He had read the spell wrong? Incorrect seal? Junpei didn’t know but he knew one thing, his back hurt now, right on his left shoulder blade. Reaching back he couldn’t feel a thing, all he knew was that it hurt like crazy.

[Phae]

Phae walked after leaving to the training grounds which were pretty easy to find. She walked into the sun the breeze blowing gently lifting up the long skirt of her swordsman outfit as she unsheated her blade and cast her first spell...

Inferno she thought hard and the blade lit up with flames running up and down it. The fire damage alone would kill many not to mention the actual action of the blade cutting through them.

The next two hours were spent in an array of working out and swordsplay. She cut, sliced and lunged working out the intricate dances that her uncle had taught her the ring that Jun had given her glinting in the bright sunlight. She finally stopped when her legs and arms grew tired from the constant moving and decided it was time for a shower.

She sheated her blade and ran back into the academy her sword swinging against her. She realized she hadn't brought any extra clothes with her and bit her lip for a minute before finding a professor and explaining that she had forgotten her clothes he told her that there were some training clothes for simple things like cleaning and running that the school she could use. She was grateful and took the short shorts and tight tshirt running to the shower.

She was in and out of the shower quickly but she promised not to return to the room until Loish came to get her. She took her uniform and left the building sitting in the garden laying out in the soft sunlight. Her eyes closed but she didn't sleep just relaxed and thought about Jun and thier life together so far.

It was then that Loish showed up nudging her with his rough head and she turned and smiled at him sitting up and scratching him under the chin.

"Time to go back eh?" she said happily. "All right tell him I'm on my way."

Loish took off and she grabbed her clothing and ran back through the halls of the academy as fast as she could her sword in one hand her clothes in the other. She opened the door almost slamming it and dropping her things on the floor closing the door with her foot she ran to Jun. But something was wrong. She stopped short.

"Jun...what's happened?"

[Junpei]

Junpei leaned back and brushed the stuff away from his bed, it fell to his side of the bed with a few clacks and a loud slam as the books hit. He laid down on his back and waited, oh how long did he have to wait? His shoulder was beginning to burn and he could feel something burning into his shoulder blade. He opened his mouth to scream but nothing came out, he was only able to arch his back up and bring his hands into tight fists. Blood began to trickle from his palm as he dug in as deep as he could and his nails tore in. His next scream was muffed as he rolled over into the pillow and buried his face in. The pain was getting unbearable, his eyes snapped shut and he rolled again. The blood was sent onto the wall as he did and it blended instantly, soaking in.

LOISH HURRY!

She’s coming Boss, only about ten more minutes.

Oh god, Loish AHHH!

The mental link broke as Junpei blacked out again. This time it was only a few moments, but when he came to his door was just opening, he was so scared to have her see him like this but knew she needed to see him. He needed her as well and as his body sot out in pain again se rushed over to him. Junpei closed his left eye and gritted his teeth.

“Something, GAH, in my... Left shoulder blade...”

Junpei managed to pull his shirt off before rolling over onto his back on the bed. What Phaedra would see on his left shoulder would probably scare her as much as it sparked her curiosity. Sitting there was a single black wing, just the outline but it was there. It had only three feathers, each a bit oversized and rounded off, as though it were cartoonist. It ran from the tip of his left shoulder, where his arm began, all the way over to his mid back, and from the top of the shoulder, to mid back again, the tip of the wing rounded again.

[Phae]

Phae ran over to Jun and heard his words she was so scared for him so very scared. Seeing him in this much pain she was worried. She watched as he removed his shirt and she looked what she saw caught her eye. She didn't understand what was happening.

"Jun, you have...a..a..a wing..like a ...tattoo ...or something." she suttered out running her hands over the tattoo.

She couldn't do anything for the pain she had read of marks like this before sometimes a bond of some sort with a summon or a familiar but somehow she knew this wasn't because of Loish.

"My love. It looks like a bond mark. Like a summoners bond mark I've only read about them." she said as she held him tightly trying to calm him down hoping her touch was enough

[Junpei]

Junpei’s eyes flashed open at the word ‘bond’. Is that what this summon had done to him, bonded with him, had that angel actually tied into his body. If that was so then Junpei would be using a light type summon as well as a dark type, he could still be a Magistrate Summoner yes, as a matter of fact this would send him far reaching ahead in his timeline of becoming one. He now was able to summon ad light type and a dark type, which meant he had access to both.

The pain stopped as her hands wrapped around him and her body touched his. The dullness in the new ‘tattoo’ had him wondering exactly what all this meant. Why would a light type summon leave a bond mark in the form of a dark wing? She had been an angel, and Junpei was a natural dark magic user, maybe it was the most suitable symbol for him and her to be linked. That was right, this time it had been a female summon, with blonde hair. That’s all he had seen, that and those huge wings that all angels seemed to have.

“Phaedra…”

His voice was shaky and uneasy, his breath ragged and chocked. Junpei took a deep breath and let it go slowly, his body still stinging at his shoulder blade. He couldn’t prevent rolling over and letting the new mark press into the cool sheets on the bed. He stared back at his love and smiled, softly, his teeth still pressed together behind the smile. It hurt so much before, but now that she had pressed her body to it he was feeling better. Compared to that mark her hands had been ice, something to sooth the new ‘wound’.

[Phae]

Phaedra listened as he whispered her name and turned over pressing his new tattoo like symbol to the cool sheets. She took a look at his hand that he had torn into with his own nails and she frowned. She tore a piece of cloth off her t-shirt and retrieved a bottle of water from the desk sitting down and opening his hand slowly.

She took the piece of shirt not realizing that her stomach was now visible because of the ripped fabric but at the moment she wasn't even thinking about herself only Jun. She carefully cleaned the wound blowing on it gently her breath racing across his hand because she knew it would be burning. It wasn't bleeding anymore and soon the blood was off his hand and into the shirt and she cleaned the other as well in equal condition. Once clean she kissed them both gently.

"Jun, have you bonded with a summon?" she asked holding his hands gently not touching the palms. "What does that mean exactly?"

[Junpei]

As she cleaned the wounds on his hands Junpei became aware of them for the first time. He hadn’t even realized he was bleeding. Looking down he saw drips of fresh blood on his stomach and chest, it wasn’t even beginning to get dry. Junpei cringed a bit as she blew on the wound, it stung and he felt it. As she kissed each wound he smiled up at her and let her hold his hands, avoiding the palms he noted. She was very careful about that it seemed, not wanting to cause him any pain.

“Yes I am…”

Junpei thought carefully about his next few words, he wasn’t really sure about it either, he had read about it. He knew that it meant he could call on that summon without a word and only use mana, instead of his life-force like he had been so far. He leaned up a bit and then back, laying his head on a pillow he ground his teeth a moment, this was going to be tough.

“Well… I know it means I can call that summon whenever I chose… but it also means I will use a great deal of mana to do so…. I’m not one-hundred percent sure… but I’m pretty sure I have a new friend…”

Junpei smiled up at her once more and then leaned up, kissing her softly. As he did he got his hands away form hers and wrapped them around her back. He pulled her down onto him softly, he had missed her so and with this he just needed to feel her against him. Breaking the kiss quickly he left his nose touching hers, rubbing it softly with his own he closed his eyes.

“Please… just for a bit… lay here with me?”

[Phae]

Phae didn't know what this all really meant but she knew that in time she would know when he did. She knew that he would tell her. She felt his gentle kiss and the way he brought her down with him to lay beside him. She smiled outwardly as she had missed him so much.

"Of course love I had nothing else on my mind." she whispered and took her favorite spot next to him.

She lay in silence for several minutes her eyes closed one hand on his bare chest as always and she closed her eyes tired from the hard training she had put herself through trying to make up for not doing it the other day. It would be only too easy to fall asleep at the moment but she knew she needed to stay awake in case Jun needed her needed to talk or just see that she was still there. But the use of magic eating away at her mana and the use of swordplay usually sapped her energy pretty good.

"I missed you so much Jun." she said truthfully as she opened her eyes briefly kissing the collar bone close to her before closing them again and settling down once more.

[Junpei]

She kissed his collar bone softly ad he used his right arm to encircle her waist and set her more on top of him, his leg slipping between hers so she was comfortably resting on him. He didn’t know why but right now his magic and his energy were sapped, gone from the ordeal just a few minutes ago. Amazingly it was only noon but both of them seemed to be out of it. Junpei had gotten a big part of his plan out of the way, he now had a second summon, and one that wouldn’t take blood sacrifices either. He smiled, maybe this would work out to be best.

“Phaedra, love, I’m going to go grab some lunch, what would you like?”

Junpei looked over at her, only having to move his head to the right a bit to do so, it was amazing him still. She was such a beauty, so delicate yet so strong. His mind still fought the fact that it was only three days. They had moved so fast many a person would claim it was nothing but lust that drove the together, or Junpei taking advantage of a new girl. Junpei cursed those who would think that and wanted their thoughts to stay away from him and his love.

[Phae]

Phaedra felt him shift her on top of him and hold her gently yet firmly in his grasp. She closed her eyes gently and listened when he asked her if she wanted something to eat. She lifted her head and smiled up at him.

"Love, I couldn't eat. I don't have the strength I'm so tired. If you go just pick whatever you want I'll eat later." she said and slid down off of him so he could leave if he wanted.

She lay on her back her hair still drying from the shower earlier it was mostly dry but tangled from the run up here once Loish had gotten her. Her chest rising and falling her blue eyes closed gently the red lashes against her cheek her stomach exposed from the ripped tshirt. Phae lay there trying to decide to sleep or not.

[Junpei]

Junpei felt her slide off him and move to lay down, he would however not be going to get food if she wasn't hungry, she was just to tired and he wouldn't leave her alone, not if she was going to fall asleep on him. Taking his jeans off quickly Junpei got on his knees and softly picked up his love, he moved the sheets down with a rather awkward motion and soon the sheets were near the foot of the bed. Laying her back down softly he laid down next to her, on his stomach, and grabbed the sheets once more. Now it was his turn to show her just how protective and carign he could be.

Leaning over her slightly he placed one hand on her bare stomach and nuzzled into her neck. Ne let himself down lightly and laif on his side, his head resting half on her shoulder half off and his lips slowly and carefully placing warm kisses on her neck. His hand slowly slid back and forth over her stomach, his thumb softly dragging over the remaining material there.

"Go to sleep Phaedra, i'm here, i'll keep you safe and watch over you whiel you sleep. Please.. go to sleep love."

[Phae]

Phae felt him lift her and she was too tired to fight it now that she wasn't moving and she was laying on the bed with her love. She felt him move the covers out of the way and lay her down him laying down next to her kissing her gently his hand rubbing her stomach soothingly. It was hard to fight to stay awake. She normally had more stamina but lately she had been less active in some ways and more so in another. She heard his whisper and almost did her breathing becoming regular before she fought and sat up suddenly.

"No... no I can't." she said breathing heavily.

She rubbed her eyes with her fists and rubbed her face shaking her head slightly before turning to him and smiling.

"I can't love you need me too much. I can't sleep now when you need me the most." she cupped his cheek. "Don't sacrifice for me I don't want to be a burden I want to help not hinder you."

[Junpei]

Junpei felt her breathing lax for a moment and thought she had finally drifted off. Then she sat up quickly. He sat up next to her after only a moment. She spoke, saying how she wanted to be there for him now, not hinder him. Junpei smiled at her and brought his hand up, pulling her hand down from his face, he laced their fingers and set them on the bed, his hand over hers. He leaned forward and placed a deep, full, and long kiss on her lips.

When he pulled back he unlaced their fingers and put both arms around her, pulling her over to him he set hr in hsi lap, ignoring the pain in his hands and on his back he set her legs on either side of his waist and pulled her hips tight against his, he wouldn't let her think she was a hinderance, never would he do that. His hands moved around and set on the small of her back, his strong stomach pressed to hers, his mouth moved over her neck adn trhen nipped the skin softyl on her hickey, oh how he wished to give her one more of those.

"Phaedra, you will never been a hinderance or in the way, if anything you spur me on to do better"

Junpei moved to the other side of her neck and nipped the skin at her pulse point, then kissed the spot, a rough kiss that ended in his suckign lightly, not leaving another mark but still being pleasurable for her.

"Never think you will...."

[Phae]

Phae was too tired to move too tired to fight him as he moved her to sit in his lap and began kissing her. She melted of course right there in his hands as he kissed the same spot he had left a mark on this morning and then left another one on the other side of her neck she smiled sleepily down at him. She was so sleepy.

"Are you sure love? I'm so tired I don't know why...no I do all the mana and energy I had to use for training..." she trailed off her eyes drooping again.

She moved into his embrace laying her head on his shoulder her face against his neck. She kissed him slightly still her eyes closed as she lay there her breathing once again became regular as she fell asleep with the arms of her love wrapped around her. She began to dream...

There was fog covering the entire area a building could be seen just beyond the dense of the clouds that hid the rest of the world. Phae moved in through the fog walking towards the building and there just beyond the clouds was Phoebe...her sister.

Phoebe said something her lips moving but no sound could be heard and she ran her sword swinging from her right hip as she ran her uniform of the academy she attended flying behind her. Phae began running after her screaming her name.

She ran up to the doors a gate closed down and she couldn't get through her sister on the other side grabbed by a unseen force her sword hurled away from her as her became defenseless. Phae tried to break into the gate but couldn't screaming her sisters name as she repeatedly rammed into the gate.

The fog became heavier...

A bruise black and heavy would form on Phae's shoulder her body absorbing the effects of the dream...a new power awakening??
