Lustful | Snow

[iKitten]

The School for the Gifted and Talented, where students of the magical variety could come and enjoy their education. There, teachers of the Highest Order in the Grand Cardinals would provide easy access to learning and honing in a studentâ??s inner magic and for those that want to learn something they had not inherited from their parents. Many varieties include the elemental basics and the advance forms, all the way to the ancient traditions of intricate ceremonies.

Reading the pamphlet, one would assume that the S.G.T was a wonderful school that all magical students could enjoy life at. They stayed in dormitories that were basic household and room needs, along with the ability to summon one creature from another realm to protect them and pair up with them during duelsâ??duels that were set up almost bi-weekly to keep studentsâ?? magic in shape and for them to practice defense and attack. They lived among both humans and magical beings that were peaceful, but those who wield any form of sorcery were asked to educate and learn how to use their skills so that if a war between kingdoms occurred, they could protect their homes.

For one student, he didnâ??t think this was the greatest place for all teenage magic wielders to go and learn. At least, not the slow learning ones. Jean was one of the students that were placed into the lower level magic learners programâ??despite the fact that he was already a sophomore. With a slim and tone figure, bleached out blonde hair and blue eyes, he was sought out by the stronger students to duel. Mainly, they just wanted to beat someone and get a good laugh at how fast he usually lost.

Biting his bottom lip hard, he snuck out of the first period and held the book he found in the library. It was in the restricted section, labeled with more demonic writing than angelic. Many students picked angelic beings of the elemental variety because they were either beautiful or â??coolâ??, but Jean knew that if he was in need of a stronger partner than his magic can defend, then heâ??d have his best bet in a demonic one. Once he was in the courtyard, he sat under a large oak tree. The blonde didnâ??t care that he was ruining his uniform, as the black slacks crumpled on the ground and dust brushed at the sleeves of his black blazer. The white dress shirt under it was untouched, as well as the black tie and gray vest.

Demons of War. Powerful creatures that are only for the advance students. Demons can not be sent back to where they came unless the magic user chose to do so. However, a caution is that if the user does not have the magic to do so, then they Demon is left wandering the earth until the user learns enough skills to send them home. The words â??Mazal Triofâ? shall initiate the summoning.

Jean read over the information over and over, before deciding that this was the one. â??Mazel Triof!â? he hissed towards the pages, mispronouncing the word, as dull blue eyes glowing a crystalline brightness as magic from within him swirled outwards. It was a weak call, but hopefully, it was bright enough on the other side.

â??What was that sound?â? Ashland asked.
â??I think someoneâ??s trying to someone meâ?¦â? Ashen replied with a wide smirk.
â??Really, who would be crazy enough to summon your maniacal ass?â? Ashland replied.
â??Dunno, but Iâ??m going to answer. The call might have been a little punier than desired but that just means there must be tons of people to hack and slashâ?¦â? Ashen spoke, his obvious lust for blood apparent in his tone.

â??I donâ??t know Ashenâ?¦I honestly think they pronounced the spell wrong. Seriously itâ??s hard to tell our spells apart.â?

â??Yeah but, we are in two totally different books.â? Ashen chuckled as he rose to his feet. â??Wish me luckâ?¦â? With an instant the demon disappeared from the demon realm. He traveled quickly through the dimensions not wanting to make his summoner wait for him. The wind had picked up around the teen. It blew violently spiraling loose things around him like leaves, chairs, and anything close enough to be sucked up. A bright light then flashed when the demon of war appeared. The wind stopped and whatever had been picked up into the wind thrashed back onto the groud.

He was tall, long dark hair dangled down passed his lower back, bright golden eyes staring down at the student. His haunting gaze stopped abruptly as he looked around. No people, just kidsâ?¦ What the hell? â??Hey kid are you the one who called me to this realm?â? he questioned his voice deep and filled with confusion. Ashen wore a long sleeve black shirt that stopped a couple inches above his belly button to show off his toned abs, and belly button ring. Long black pants dangled down over his black boots. He had a bottom lip ring, three earrings in both of his ears, a tongue ring, and four chains that hang down from his pants. He was all for the piercings and gothic look. He was pretty tall, practically towering over the other and he was seriously wondering if this was the person who called upon him.

Re: Lustful | V a l e n t i n e

Jeanâ??s magic flashed a few times, in and out as does weak magic that couldnâ??t sustain itself for long usually did. His blue eyes flickered in and out of magic and light, before suddenly, wind started to pick up around him. The demon he was summoning was finally coming! When this demon of war finally reached their realm, he quickly jumped back and gasped as the wind rushed around and shoved things out of the way. Light almost blinded him as he had to cover his face with the book for a few moments, before things cleared and everything returned to â??normalâ??.

When he was able to glance up, he blinked a few times in almost â??aweâ?? at the might of this demon he summoned. Awesome! I actually summoned someone who at least looks like heâ??s powerful! he thought in glee, before realizing that the male was speaking to him. â??Uhâ?¦yeah.â? Jean almost smacked himself for sounding stupid and not in power with the demon that he summoned.

Standing up as fast as he could and brushing his clothes out, he held the book in one hand and nodded. â??I mean, yeah, I summoned you. I needed a guardian creature and I wanted a demon of war. Thatâ??s you, right? Iâ??m Jean. Whatâ??s your name?â? he offered his free hand as if they were supposed to shake and become instant friends like the other creatures and their partners had doneâ??well, the ones that had hands.

Re: Lustful | V a l e n t i n e

Oh greatâ?¦he got a wimp. What a treatâ?¦ Perhaps he was calling for his brother after all. He sighed heavily reaching forward and shaking the teenâ??s hand. â??Iâ??m Ashenâ?¦â? he replied as he checked out his surroundings once more. Damn it looked boring thereâ?¦ From what he saw Jean dressed in, he was summoned to a school of magics. â??Well I donâ??t know about you Jean but um, I donâ??t think we are the pair for each other. I believe you were trying to summon my twin Ashlandâ?¦â? he smiled running his fingers through his flowing hair. â??How boutâ?? you just send me back now.â?

Jean seemed to lack in power, but Ashen was sure he could send him back to his realm and call on his nicer half. He stretched a little, flexing his muscles as he gazed up at the clear sky. He turned away from jean walking over to one of the chairs that claim crashing down and picked it up. Seating himself, he looked up at the boy and sighed.

â??Chop chop now sweetheart, Iâ??ve got better things to do than babysit.â? He said with a chuckle taunting the young boy. Yes, he was a boy to him. As old as Ashen was, anyone who wasnâ??t as old as he was a child. â??Come now love, before people notice and you get embarrassed because you have to send me back.â? He tapped his foot down on the grass impatiently.

Re: Lustful | V a l e n t i n e

Shaking his new partnerâ??s hand, he smiled brightly and almost looked dorky at trying to be as cool as this guy. Glancing up and down the other male, he realized that the demon dressed up strangelyâ?¦almostâ?¦gothic, if demons knew what that style was truly. Maybe heâ??s not a demon of warâ?¦? Looks more like a vampire right off of those movies or the one that the kid down in 4B hasâ?¦ the blonde pondered to himself, before realizing that the other male was introducing himself to him.

When he was asked to be sent back, Jean just blinked empty looks at the demon. Send him back? Jean didnâ??t know how to send a summon back, as everyone was usually happy about their new partner and kept them around. However, this guy didnâ??t seem to even want to try and get along. â??Uhâ?¦â? when he was rushed, he just shook his head and held out the book. â??I summoned you. You have to stay with me and protect me!â? the blonde demanded, half glaring at his summon.

Really, it was just his luck to get some creature that had an attitude towards him. He felt as if he was being ignored, so he walked closer to the demon and held out the book again. It was obvious from the book that the demon must have known he summoned him. That, and the fact that Jean didnâ??t want to admit he had neither the knowledge nor the power right now in sending him back. Just as they were trying to avoid getting embarrassed, a few students were walking closer toward the courtyard, but he hadnâ??t noticed them yet.

 

[__N o v i.S n o w]

Re: Lustful | V a l e n t i n e

â??I already told you the answer to your problem. Just send me back and ask for my brother.â? Ashen replied. The demon didnâ??t have an attitude toward him or anything, he just thought he would like a nicer less, demonic summon. Ashen could tell this was his first time dealing with a demon of his caliber, and right off the back he knew Jean wouldnâ??t be able to handle the things he would do to his enemies. He could see just from the look he gave him, and the urgency in his voice for him to stay that he didnâ??t know what he was getting himself into tangling with him.

Jean might not have noticed the small crowd gathering but Ashen sure had. The amount of blood suddenly flowing around him was making him hungry. â??Look kid Iâ??â?? he began as he stood up from the chair. He paused as he looked around at the crowd. Damn vultures. He could smell the anxiousnessâ?¦ He could feel their need for Jeanâ??s rejection. Perhaps he did need to be protected. â??Iâ??m glad that you summoned me.â? His tone changed from slightly irritated to exceptionally pleased.

Ashen sighed placing a hand on the teenâ??s shoulder. â??Come, show me where we can talk a little more privatelyâ?¦â? he said to Jean as he looked back at the others who was still either ogling at him, or suspecting him to just reject Jean even when he made it clear that he was staying. Well he wasnâ??t, he was just pretending to, until they got somewhere more private.

Re: Lustful | V a l e n t i n e

The blonde teen bit his bottom lip as the taller male stood up and moved towards him. He didnâ??t realize demons were so intimidating, but then again, he could understand why only the older students had them. It wasnâ??t hard to summon apparently, yet only the older ones summoned demons instead of angels because of the demon themselves. Even he was intimidated by his own summon, which made him wonder if he should have summoned an angelic element after all.

The strange speed in Ashenâ??s tone change made him raise an eyebrow at that, before he felt a firm hand on his shoulder. â??Rightâ?¦privatelyâ?¦â? he muttered, knowing that they were probably being ogled at by the crowd; heck, most of them were probably waiting to laugh at him for being rejected by his own summon. Or worst yet, if he couldnâ??t control the summon.

Sighing, he nodded once more for no reason and began to lead the demon away from the crowd. However, one of the students pushed their way through and snapped his finger to call upon their own summon. â??Hey, Jean? Thatâ??s your summon right? Congrats on actually getting one in your Sophomore year. I wonder if you can even duel with him?â? the redhead mocked, a fiery, angelic being flickering into existence right next to the teenager. Kain was in his Freshman year and had been known to pick on Jean many times throughout their school year. The fact that they used to be childhood friends held no qualms for him to tease and attack the other male; dueling was dueling.

Jean just paused in his steps for a moment, before swallowing and continuing to walk on; hoping that Ashen wouldnâ??t take the bait.

 

[__N o v i.S n o w]

Re: Lustful | V a l e n t i n e

That cocky son of a bitch! Was Jean just going to stand there and take the other's mess? The teen continued to walk but Ashen refused. Hell no. No summoner of his would be made a fool of, whether he liked them or not. The anger and hatred he suddenly harbored for Kain, was clear in the glow of his golden eyes. However, his expression was one of amusement. "You know... I'm just about real tired with this uppity, snooty type atmosphere you boys and girls got going on. It's time someone established some real dominance around here."

His final words were nearly growled out as the wind picked up around them. "Jean, if you want respect around here you got to earn it. Get over here and let's fight him." the bloodlust and need for death was clear in his sudden demonic voice as he spoke. "He has no right to talk to you in such a manner...Especially since you summoned a demon like no other." he spoke referring to himself as rarity--like he was.

Yes, Ashen took that bait and ate it right up. There wasn't a challenge in all the realms he would refuse. He wasn't intimidated by Kain's angelic summon. Actually it's appearance amused him quite a bit. He was so amused he had to laugh. "You really think that, that puny little creature can stand up against the great God of War?! What a fucking joke. Just say the word Jean and I'll take him out." Ashen was a cocky demon, extremely cocky. But he had a right to be, he could actually back it up. The wind continued to shift, growing fiercer and fiercer the more he got worked up. A large crowd had gathered anxious to see them duel, slowly chanting the word 'duel'.

 

[iKitten]

Re: Lustful | V a l e n t i n e

Jean had actually been zoning out everything that was going on around him. Kain had always mocked him, despite being childhood friends, so he never truly took things seriously between the challenges that the redhead would throw out at him. In fact, the times that they did duel ended up in neutral feelingsâ??even though Kain would work them both up until they were clawing at each otherâ??s throats instead of magically dueling. However, that also caused him to be looked at as a weak magic user, since his younger classmate had best him in dueling.

When the chanting began to rise along with the picking up wind, the blonde stopped dead in his tracks and turned around with wide eyes. Jean actually rushed back towards Ashenâ??s side, but as the demon was already worked up and sending magic around, he was too afraid to get closer. Had he remembered his studies, he would have realized that a summoned creatureâ??s magic could never harm the summoner. â??Ashen, what are you doing? Sepher is of flame and earth. From what I can see, youâ??re of wind.â? he attempted to reason, pointing out their elemental differences. Even the beginner knew that the weaker element would lose.

The crowd began to jeer at Jeanâ??s desperate hissing towards his summon, making fun of him for thinking that even the â??God of Warâ?? he had summoned couldnâ??t even fight an angelic being. Swallowing hard, he realized that he was embarrassing not only himself, but Ashen as well. After a few minutes of just half hearing the crowd and seeing Sepherâ??s dead-like eyes stare at him with flaming challenge, he groaned and shook his head. â??Alright, alright! Butâ?¦ok, uhâ?¦GO, ASHEN! ATTACK!â? he cried out stupidly like some weird cartoon movie he had seen in the areas where humans were populated. Indeed, he had never actually had a summon himself, so he didnâ??t know how to guide one. To be the eyes and ears of his creature, as well as provide magical support? This had a chance of not ending well for either of them. He could tell by the way the crowd kind of just...turned silent at his words.

 

[__N o v i.S n o w]

Re: Lustful | V a l e n t i n e

Yes, if Jean had done his studies he would know that the demon could control all the elements. Then again, if Kain had done his studies either he would know it was foolish to go up against him. Anyhoo, Ashen ignored Jean's silly little comment about elemental differences and just grinned. Personally for the demon he enjoyed using wind because it fit his fierce personality. However, if he ever needed to he would use fire or some other element he could care less for. When his summoner gave him the word to attack all wind redirected to the tall demon spiraling around him. "Step forward Jean and stand tall, you must claim your victory when I win for you. No one will think we are together if you stand so far away--cowering..." with his words came a boost of wind from behind the other nudging him closer, right up to his side. The wind was gentle and inviting towards Jean.

Ashen then turned his attention toward the creature of light. "Maybe if your kid would have kept his mouth shut, you would have lived a few thousand years." An evil smirk curved his lips, as the sky seemed to darken in response to his threatening words. Before Kain could even command his summon Ashen had already sent him flying across the courtyard. His body continued to fly with strong force until he slammed into a tree, abruptly stopping his flight. Honestly all the demon had to defeat the other was toss him around until he could no longer move. As the thought crossed Ashen's mind, he thought against it thinking maybe he shouldn't go too far with his powers... Then again he was a God of war, he knew nothing of the words 'too far'.

The way he pounded down on the other's summon, the teens either cheered or gasped in shock. Sure he let the other you know, get a few hits in but that was just to make the fight more interesting. He made Sepher fight all over the courtyard before finally ending up back where they started, between Jean and Kain. He held the fiery angelic by the throat as he looked over to Kain. "Any last words for your summon?" he teased as he squeezed the life out of him. He tossed him onto the ground, a small crater forming under him. The wind circled around the courtyard as he raised his left hand, fire appearing in his hand. "Fire shall be a fitting death for you..." he said with a laugh.

Re: Lustful | V a l e n t i n e

The blonde teen sighed in defeat as he realized that Ashen was determined to fight no matter what. When the wind picked up and gently nudged him towards the inner areas of what was generally a parameter for duels, he moved forward and stood as tall as he couldâ??which was roughly five feet and seven inches. Jean wasnâ??t one to enjoy duels, as he was usually the one who lost, but at the same time, he didnâ??t think heâ??d lose this timeâ?¦at least, Ashen wouldnâ??t lose. However, the fight started off without Kain or Jean paying attention, as the demon was quick with his movements and it quickly moved outside of the range that the magic users could aid with their powers.

â??Ashen, come back!â? he cried out, trying to get them to come back to the arena. However, when the demon did, he was crushing the life out of the angelic summon. He was panicking just a fraction would he realized what this blood thirsting creatures was about to do, so he barely heard Kain screaming for them to stop and flicking magic towards the demon and himself. â??Wai-.â? but before he could finish, Sepher was already burning. The burn ripped threw the angelic summonâ??s neck and killed him almost instantly.

Vampireâ?¦heâ??s not a demon, heâ??s a vampireâ?¦ Jean concluded in his mind, as he did not remember any creature outside of the vampires that sought out to kill and murder just for the thrill of getting their blood pumping and the gush of seared blood flowing over Ashenâ??s hand from the neck bursting from heat like an over boiled egg. All that was needed to finish the thoughts in his mind was for Ashen to actually attempt to drink the blood. Before he could even react further, Kain jumped him and rapidly punched him. Screams of him summoning a monster that actually killed during a duel was not just from Kain, but from the other students. â??Shit! Iâ??m sorry, Iâ??m sorry! Iâ??ll send him back!â? he cried out, struggling under Kainâ??s pounding fists. But the problem was, he didnâ??t know how.

 

[__N o v i.S n o w]

Re: Lustful | V a l e n t i n e

As Jean had guessed, Ashen licked his fingers as he gazed down at the dead body of the angelic. Shame really. He would have been a great summon if he hadnâ??t run into him. His golden eyes caught the sharp movements of Kain charging for his summoner. He thought Jean would fight back but all he did was whine and whimper about how he would send him back. Pfftâ?¦ He didnâ??t want to be there anyway. Not with a bunch of pansy ass kids like them. Heâ??d much rather be on the battle field. â??Fine you want to be sorry all your life, do it on your own time kidâ?¦â? he said grabbing Kain by the collar of his shirt and tossing him off to the side like a rag doll. He then reached for Jean and grabbed him by the collar along with the book he used to summon him with.

â??You ungrateful little brat. I try to be nice and what happens, I get my sincerity thrown back in my face. But you know what I donâ??t need this crap.â? He began to carry Jean back inside the building of the school. Once they were inside he saw an empty room and went in it kicking the door shut behind himself. Ashen placed the boy into an empty chair, placing the book in his lap. â??Alright kid letâ??s go. You want to send me back, well Iâ??m ready. I will not stay here and have my powers wasted on a puny little summoner like you. If you are going to be this uptight about a little death, you need to return me to my home because honestly thatâ??s all youâ??re gonna get with me hanging around you.â?

This school was full of a bunch of wussies. Once a real demon appeared they all run scared. They donâ??t have the right to summon. There was still a bit of blood on his hand and he began to lick it. That angelic didnâ??t taste too bad. Too bad he didnâ??t get to drink him dry before he removed him from the realm of the living. â??If you donâ??t want a true warrior stick to those angelicsâ?¦â?

Re: Lustful | V a l e n t i n e

Jean breathed a sigh of relief when Kain was pulled off of him, only to give out a small â??meepâ?? of surprise when he was picked up like some ragdoll. The teens around them just gawked at the demon and had to wonder if this was some strange reality, where Jean, the weakest Sophomore around, actually had summoned something that was so powerful, it was able to kill Sepher. The fact that Jean hadnâ??t fought back against Kain was obvious to those who knew them, as in Jeanâ??s mind, Kain was still his friend. Heck, the teen still came over for holidays and birthdays!

But to Ashen, there was nothing but black and white it appeared, as well as fight or death. The blonde gripped the book once it was tossed onto his lap. â??What if I donâ??t want to send you back?â? he spoke up, more daring towards the summon than his friend. In his mind, the summon was just a creature for him to order around, not the other way. He completely ignored the fact that he was just crying out that heâ??d send this vampire mistake-summon back a few moments ago. â??You really have no right to order me, as I am your summoner. In fact, you bow down to me.â? he daringly stated with his chin held high.

While some summons did die in duels, the whole shock of today was mainly because his summon had actually won. The one other summon he had had when he was younger was something his parents gave himâ??a worn out flopping water creature that couldnâ??t even duel on land. With his first true summon on his own, he didnâ??t want to send Ashen back. In fact, he wanted to keep him around, as a guardian and perhaps a friend; or more like slave from the sound of what he was saying. Jean had to wonder if Ashen could leave his side or go back â??homeâ?? without the summonerâ??s permission and magic.

 

[__N o v i.S n o w]

Re: Lustful | V a l e n t i n e

â??Donâ??t want to send me back?â? Ashen paused, the expression in his eyes reading, flabbergasted. A few moments ago he was screaming he didnâ??t want him around anymore. What was the problem now? Ashen was starting to wonder if the kid could even do it. He was about to say something else but as Jean continued to speak, he became more and more stunned. What the hell was the matter with this kid? Did he have a split personality or something? Why the thought of being a summon to a crazy person intrigued him, he wasnâ??t quite in the mood for it. With a huff Ashen grabbed the boy by his collar.

â??Oh so now you are mister big and bad, huh?â? he questioned as he picked him up out of the chair holding him up so that they were eye-level. â??I donâ??t know what you are trying to pull here kid but I donâ??t appreciate you trying to boss me around. I bow down to no one, I serve only myself. And if you think for a second I will bow down to you because you are the only being on this planet that can send me back, youâ??ve got another thing coming.â? He dropped him back on the chair he turned away from him. Ashen couldnâ??t believe this. Ashen had no intentions on working for some brat who planned to treat him like some low life angelic.

â??I donâ??t know what you learned in this here school but, you got a thing or two to learn about demonic creatures. We yearn to escape our realm, to roam free in other places, to act out on instinct and kill others than ourselves. Thereâ??s nothing to go back to in our realm and we honestly donâ??t have to listen to our summonerâ??s wishes.â? He chuckled running his fingers through his long dark hair. â??Now, donâ??t play games with me Jean. Send me back or Iâ??ll destroy everyone in this piece of shit you call a school.â? Ashen looked back at Jean. â??Or is it that you donâ??t know how to send me back?â?

 

[iKitten]

Re: Lustful | V a l e n t i n e

Blinking rapidly, he tried hard not to panic as he felt Ashen grab his collar and drag him upwards. The teen wasnâ??t fearful that heâ??d get killed, because summons couldnâ??t kill their summoner, but he couldnâ??t say he wasnâ??t scared in general. Ashen wasnâ??t an angelic being, so he wasnâ??t sweet and kind, understanding like Sepher had been to Kain and whatnots. The demon didnâ??t even treat him gratefully for getting him out of the realm as he was speaking about.

However, that made him pause and he tilted his head in confusion, as he was dropped. Landing with an â??oofâ??, he rubbed at his collar to straighten out the uniform and frowned up at the demon. â??You say Iâ??m contradicting myself? What about you? If you wish to be out of your realm so much, then why are you bullying me into sending you back?â? of course, he avoided the last question completely, as he would rather not admit it. If he didnâ??t acknowledge it, then it meant the other male would drop it as well, right/

Leaning back in his chair, he crossed his arms like a spoiled child after heâ??d â??made his pointâ??. If he was daring enough, he would have made a smug face at the demon, but he was best not to push his luck. Jean knew that if he did, it wasnâ??t his life that was on the line, but the schoolâ??s and whoever ran into Ashen. The demon had no barriers against harming another summon or even person for that matter, but in the end, Jean would be placed responsible for the demonâ??s actions.

 

[__N o v i.S n o w]

Re: Lustful | V a l e n t i n e

Well, why should Ashen treat him any differently than the way he was treating him? â??Hm? Iâ??d rather be bored in my godforsaken realm than to be a summon to some baby who canâ??t appreciate me.â? He sighed running his fingers through his hair again, the frustration he had for the boy boiling over the top. Why the hell was he prolonging sending him back? Heâ??d rather spend time with his wimpy brother than to be around Jean. What kind of a name was Jean for a boy anyway?

â??Look kid. Iâ??ve had enough with you games. Just send me back and summon something a little more on your level.â? He spoke in the calmest voice he could muster up. He glared down at Jean, the frustration, and impatience clear in his golden eyes. â??You are not what I expected, and I am not what you expected. Thereâ??s no reason to keep around a demon you canâ??t control or appreciate.â? He sighed gnawing on his bottom lip ring gently as he pondered whether Jean even knew how to send him back. He never did answer his question.

â??You canâ??t send me back can you? That must be why you keep avoiding the question and trying to force me to stayâ?¦.â?

 

[iKitten]

Re: Lustful | V a l e n t i n e

While he tried to avoid the question as much as he could, he realized that there was no way around it. Ashen would soon realize that he did not know how to send the demon back and probably attempt to pounce him. Then again, summons couldnâ??t harm their summoner with any form of their magic or kill them. But with Ashenâ??s frame, there wasnâ??t a doubt in his mind that the demon could probably beat him down until he was half dead.

When the questionâ??more like a statementâ??finally came, he chuckled weakly and shrugged, before glancing away as if he was trying to hold onto whatever â??authorityâ?? he had left. â??Uhâ?¦yeah, I know how to send you back. Orâ?¦I will know how to send you back once Iâ??ve learned it.â? Shrugging his shoulders again, he glanced back at Ashen and sighed. â??Look, Iâ??m a low-grade magic userâ?¦the teachers havenâ??t taught that to me because they didnâ??t think Iâ??d be summoning anything for another few years.â?

Pausing for a moment, he pondered on something. â??But I need you here! You didnâ??t even need my help and you were able to protect me. Thereâ??re just...so many others and I think youâ??d make a perfect guardian.â? Jean smiled brightly. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that he wanted to keep Ashen here. The demon was so powerful, he would surely be able to protect Jean from everyone. Others had always picked on him as he didnâ??t have a summon and beating him was like a sport to them. With the amount of people attacking him, he thought that having Ashen fend them off would be a good thing.

 

[__N o v i.S n o w]

Re: Lustful | V a l e n t i n e

Great, just great, he didn't know how to send him back... He was really hoping that he was holding back and did know... However hoping for such things in a situation like his would do nothing to help the predicament he was in. He sighed as he tried to listen attentively biting his tongue numerous times. "I really have no choice but to stay." he murmured to himself as he turned to face Jean. "But I do have a choice if whether I want to help you or not..."

Ashen spoke louder so the boy could hear him. "I mean, how do I know you aren't going to go all wimp on me again when I fight for you?" he questioned as he sat down in a chair next to his summoner. The chair was quite uncomfortable, it was almost unbearable to sit in it. Did human's really suffer with such things. "I don't understand how they would classify you in such a level when you clearly have some talent since you managed to summon a demon as great as me." he sighed crossing his left leg over the right. "However, I suppose that doesn't matter at the moment. All that matters is that you learn that technique."

He paused looking over to the boy. "If having me around defending you will help you to send me back then I will do what you wish." He smiled a little. "But don't you think for a moment that I will allow you to boss me around any kind of way. I don't tolerate ignorant behavior." he rose to his feet stretching a bit, growing irritated by the wooden device they called a chair.

Blinking a few times in confusion, Jean just tilted his head and stared at Ashen. He didnâ??t understand why the demon had such a cocky attitude, when the other summons had such a nice attitude towards their own summoners. Perhaps this one was just defective? Leaning towards Ashen, he reached out a hand while the demon was speaking and stretching, before poking the demon in the stomach rather harshly. Whether or not that was even felt was beyond him, as his finger almost pounced away.

â??Uhâ?¦I thought summons were supposed to be nice towards magic users and serve themâ?¦Iâ??m not very pleased with this one at allâ?¦â? he spoke as if there was someone else in the room and Ashen was just an object to him. Shaking his head, he sighed and stood up himself. â??Well, we could always go to the library and find a book on itâ?¦Iâ??m sure thereâ??s something there to help us.â? Jean noted, scratching at his blonde hair.

Today was not exactly the best day of his life, but it was close, as he had defeated one person. Sure, it was Ashenâ??s work, but if he was able to find a book to send this one back, perhaps he would summon another demon that was less bitchy. â??I think I could find another demon that whines less and is more powerfulâ?¦â? he noted happily to himself, glad that he knew he was able to at least summon them. Happily, he headed towards the door and hoped that Ashen would follow him towards the library.

Re: Lustful | V a l e n t i n e

Ashen paid no attention to the boyâ??s complaints about his bichiness. He was being a bit of a complainer. Reluctantly he followed behind the boy. His golden eyes wandered his surroundings analyzing everything around him. He might want to wander the school later without his annoying little summoner around to ruin his devious fun. This place was uptight and needed some action, Jean should be happy he summoned such a interesting demon such as himself.

There was a sign further down the hall directing them towards the library. â??How convenientâ?¦â? he murmured referring to the sign. He walked into the library with Jean looking around at all the books they had stuffed on shelves after shelves. Books were oh so boring, the moment he noticed all the shelves he yawned into his hand. â??How long are we going to be in here?â? he questioned nonchalantly looking down at Jean.

There was a good bit of students inside the library, all of the tables occupied by students chattering away. â??I thought this was a library Jeanâ?¦ Why are there so many kids in here?â? he questioned, his voice higher than what was allowed inside of a library. He attracted unwanted attention from those around him and sighed softly. Speaking lower, â??Where are you gonna sit?â? he questioned the other, in a somewhat whispered tone of voice.

Once they were in the library, Jean returned the book he had and grabbed for the first book he could find on summons. He flipped through the pages and attempted to read it, but most of the writing was either in angelic or ancient forms that he had yet to learn. Skipping those parts, he skimmed over the parts he could read to see if it had anything on sending back the demon. â??I donâ??t knowâ?¦we could be here for awhile? Why donâ??t you pick one up and help me find a spell or something to send you back?â? the teen asked, raising an eyebrow at Ashen as if to tell him that if the demon wanted to go back â??homeâ??, then he better get to work as well.

Damnâ?¦if he wasnâ??t too arrogant, I would want to keep someone so powerful near meâ?¦ he slightly thought, before sighing and tilting his head up to listen to whatever Ashen was saying. â??We donâ??t need to sit, since we need to skim fast. And of course there are many students hereâ??where else would be study but with the books?â? he asked, as if not understanding that there was something else to do. You were either a studier or a troublemaker in this school, and sadly, there were a lot more troublemakers.

From one of the â??unwantedâ?? attention, a boy sneered and waltzed up towards the pair as if he owned the world. â??Hey, Jean! I heard you actually defeated Kain a bit agoâ?¦thought I heard wrong.â? the brunette huffed out, reaching a hand out to smack the blondeâ??s book to the ground like they were playing basketball or something.

â??Uhâ?¦not exactly.â? he answered honestly, as he didnâ??t defeat anyone. The brunette just chuckled and asked if he wanted a duel as well, so he could show him how he â??not exactlyâ?? defeated the other freshman. Reaching out, he grabbed for Jeanâ??s collar and yanked him around. â??Whoa! Stop, weâ??re in the library.â? Jean hissed, glancing once at Ashen with a frown. Obviously, he still expected the demon to protect him while they were still stuck together, so to speak.

Re: Lustful | V a l e n t i n e

Just as the demon were about to bitch about getting a table, someone had approached them. Oh no not another pesky studentâ?¦. His lips drew into a rather cute pout as he looked away from the two minding his own business. Heâ??d hoped that if he ignored the two that maybe, just maybe the trouble maker would go away. However his attention was soon drawn back to Jean who was, yet again, in trouble. â??Okay thatâ??s enough of this horseplayâ?¦â? Ashen announced as he simply grabbed Jeanâ??s attacker by the back of his neck. His fingers were relentless and pressed into his soft flesh before his arm wound up to toss him onto the library floor.

â??I can see you all have a library for nothing. I am Jeanâ??s summon, the great god of war Ashen.â? He announced to the brunette on the floor. â??I suggest you keep your distance from my summon, or I might have to destroy you like I destroyed that kids angelic Sepher.â? He gloated referring to Kain. His actions to try and keep others away only made things worse as a crowd gathered to witness a potential fight. Obviously they didnâ??t see the fight from earlier.

God what is the matter with you humans? He wanted to ask so badly but he just bit his tongue to look down at Jean. He turned to face him adjusting his collar a bit, straightening out his roughed up uniform. â??Perhaps the library was a bad choice for todayâ?¦â? he said with a soft chuckle. â??Do people always approach in this manner?â? he was curious. It was like the boy was a magnet for bullies. There was a long 'ooh' like chant as the atmosphere completely changed, Jean's bully summoning his summon.

"Another duel?" he questioned. "I suppose I could play fair this time." he murmured looking back at the other's summon. "However it all depends on Jean's orders."

Re: Lustful | V a l e n t i n e

When the other student had turned aggressive, the blonde just gaped at him for a few moments, wondering if this kid was stupid. If Ashen had just beaten Sepher, then why would someone challenge him so soon again? However, it seemed like they found the pair to be a magnate for danger, with one being a target for bullying, while the other was a challenge to prove that they were better against. Shaking his head, he glanced over towards Ashen and heard that the other male wanted to duel, as if he was seeking for more thrills of the fight.

Biting his bottom lip, he slightly nodded. â??Weâ?¦could, I suppose. But not in the library.â? stating that, he quickly motioned for them to follow and leave the library; ignoring the fact that he didnâ??t answer Ashenâ??s other question. The fact that so many people bullied him wasnâ??t exactly something to gloat about. Once they were in a clearing just outside, he stood facing against the opponent, almost fearing what would happen. Ashen could kill someone again, and if he attempted to, Jean would have to attack his own summon just to try and stop him. He was going to get into so much trouble for the incident with Kain and Sepher earlier, that the blonde didnâ??t want to get in trouble for this one.

â??Jean, you better have trained that demon well, because I really wonder if heâ??s strong enough to fight against my demon.â? the other student growled, motioning for his angelic being to vanish, while summoning out a demon. Duel summons was something very few students were able to do, as it required a large amount of mastery for that degree. Jean swallowed hard and glanced at Ashen with slightly wide eyes, before whispering towards the demon.

â??Are you sure?â? he almost hissed. â??Heâ??s really powerful and no offense, but a few kicks and punches wonâ??t be enough here.â? Jean warned, as if he knew that they were going to come out busted. When the other demon began to advance onto them, he briefly wondered if he should have summoned something of the goldfish family, as that would have attracted less challenges. With Ashen, he was attracting more bullying than ever, and even though the demon was handsome and captivating with power, he didnâ??t think looks alone were enough without skill.

Re: Lustful | V a l e n t i n e

Ashen listened to the boy attentively. Sure, the library was a stupid place to battle. What could he have been thinking? He couldnâ??t have destroyed the books they needed to send him back. Ashen followed Jean into the clearingâ??which was a hall. There were a few pictures and plants the decorated the area, it wasnâ??t nothing too expensive. Ashen had a feeling the whole hall would be completely obliterated, if his summoner simply told him to attack again. Attack meant something different to the god of war. Attack mean kill, and destroy anything that might be in the way of your target.

â??A few kicks and punchesâ?¦â? he laughed. â??That was for show dear Jean. I didnâ??t it to embarrass your nemesis.â? He smiled running his fingers through his dark hair as he watched the otherâ??s summon draw closer. He could feel the demonic power emanating from it frame and for a second he feltâ?¦.he felt inferior. Ha! What a load of bull, not a being in any universe could strike fear into Ashenâ??s heart. The feeling was just pure anticipation. His bright golden eyes glowed with excitement. He couldnâ??t wait to beat that demon down into the ground. He couldnâ??t wait to prove his superiority over all the other summons that may come to attack Jean in the future. One this day, they will know he is no longer a wimp, on this day they will all bow with respectâ?¦.or fearâ?¦ Fear sounds delightful.

â??Jeanâ?¦.â? He began as the atmosphere around them seemed to heat up, beads of sweat forming on the crowdâ??s foreheads that came to watch the fight. Scorching the school down wasnâ??t what he had in mind so he mellowed out the heat, a swirl of wind surround his frame. â??What are your orders Masterâ?¦â? he asked, his fingers clenching into fist fire spontaneously combusting around his fists. â??And when you say attack, I suggest you elaborate a bitâ?¦â?

The word attack meant something different to Ashen. For Ashen it meant completely obliterate his enemy, destroy it completely. â??Shall I destroy this abomination completely, or would you like me to fight fair and give this crowd something to talk about during their next classes.â? He smiled, a cocky smile, his fiery hand now on his hip. He looked down at Jean placing a hand on the boyâ??s shoulder, the fire that surrounded his hand warm to the boy. â??Tell me, what will you have me doâ?¦â? the sudden subservience killed the demon, it was like someone ripped a hole through him and stripped him of his glorious powersâ?¦.he felt sickâ?¦.this new sensation wasâ?¦.wasâ?¦weird.

Re: Lustful | V a l e n t i n e

To say Jean was completely shocked at the sudden obedience from Ashen was an understatement. The teen stared with wide eyes when he heard the term â??masterâ?? slip out of the demonâ??s lips, before he was actually asked to tell Ashen what to do. It appeared like the other male enjoyed a good battle, but at the same time, it looked like he was desperate enough to return to his world, that he would almostâ?¦lower himself to this. At least, â??lowerâ?? in Ashenâ??s mind, as summoners found it natural for their summons to listen to them. However, it also could have been the fact that if a summoner never sent the creature back, and if they were to die, then the summon could never return home.

Heâ??s probably just fearful that with my luck, Iâ??d get beaten to death and heâ??d be stuck on earth foreverâ?¦ the blonde concluded. Even still, his body was warmed by the flames that licked his flesh instead of singed it, and he was in complete awe. For once, he actually saw Ashen beyond of the demon he didnâ??t want, and he saw the creature as something handsome and desirable to be or be withâ??as did many summoners feel when they first set eyes on their summon.

Placing both hands onto Ashenâ??s chest, he leaned upwards as if to kiss the demon, but stopped just a few inches away from Ashenâ??s face. â??Thatâ??sâ?¦so cool.â? Jean finally breathed out. â??Just uhâ?¦fight fair. I donâ??t want to get into more trouble because you killed someone. Andâ?¦and Iâ??ll try to help.â? he offered, smiling with a goofy grin. Perhaps he didnâ??t have to send Ashen back just yet, because if the demon was going to be obedientâ??for the most partâ??then heâ??d be a great ally to protect him while he was in school or at least until he was stronger.

However, before he was able to take a step back so that the two demons could duel, the otherâ??s summon flashed its own flames and sent a large gust of it towards their direction. He was going to get hit, but Jean didnâ??t have the magic to summon a shield around himself.
