[IC] Magicka Academy II [Jakeozzy & Demon Shinobi]

[Demon Shinobi]

Tamotsu looked back for a second before shaking his head. "No thanks." He said simply before continuing on. "Joey send down some food if you can." He added calmly to which Joseph replied with on it before sending one of the employees to handle the task.

"Is it me or did Tamotsu seem like he didn't wanna be around Luka?" He whispered to Hana sure about the situation.

(I got nothin right now. lol how we gonna defend against Etherion?)

[Jakeozzy]

(All in good time, Sah)

Hana watched as Luka's expression fell into neutrality from her usual upbeat attitude. What could possibly be going on between them? Earlier in the year she could've sworn she saw the sparks of a forming relationship... Had they found something in their hunt for the Shades? Maybe they just didn't want to admit anything... But Luka looked like she knew something was up. "...Luka, are you okay?"

Luka nodded the moment Hana started speaking, indicating that she wasn't even for listening right now. "Of course. If you'll excuse me, I'm going outside for some fresh air. Alone, if you don't mind."

"Not at all... You can tell us anything. We're all here for you and Tamotsu! Remember that, alright?" Hana spoke up as the pink-haired gunslinger left the room and headed for the courtyard, not another word, not even a nod. Something was definitely wrong, but Hana thought it best not to chase after her.

Enya frowned as the mood in the room shifted, "Odd~..." he commented quietly.

[Demon Shinobi]

As they reached the training room Tamotsu tossed the two young girls onto the floor. "Alright you two. get ready." He said as the food was brought in. Melissa's head was still a little jumbled up, but she was getting better. Just a bit. "Owww... You don't have to be so rough." She whined. "You wanna act like an adult you should be weary of the consequences." Tamotsu replied. He had laughed, but it wasn't like he didn't know about the differences between right and wrong. Of course... Tamotsu had fogotten one thing. Now he was alone with these two and... "So what's the deal with you an Luka?" Meli asked rather calmly trying to pry in their business. AND THERE IT WAS! Why hadn't he seen this coming. "I don't know what you're talking about." Tamotsu said avoiding the situation.

[Jakeozzy]

"You're avoiding the pink haired lady, boss~" Misa joined in. Whether it would turn out to be good or painful, she and her bestie simply had to stick their noses into others' business. Life was too short to be subtle! "What gives? Oh! Wait! Idea. If we kick your ass, you spill everything! If you kick ours, ...we shall still persist. Deal?!" she gave her one-sided offer, suddenly full of life as azure wind began sweeping through the training room. Misa pounded her fist into her open palm, making an ever-so-slight shockwave in the air. Apparently the battle with Azazel had buffed up her power. Even if only a little, Meli was here - not even Tamotsu could stand against them! ...Or that's what the confident little Mage thought, anyway.

---

Luka was already walking the busy London streets by now, on her way to an Enforcer HQ to see what else she might dig up on the Shades. She wouldn't bring Tamotsu with her this time.

...If there was a chance Takashi was still alive... Luka was weighing her options. Maybe it would be better off if she just stopped caring. ...What if she killed him before Tamotsu showed up? No! ...They might just be able to run away together...

"You stupid bitch...!" Luka growled at herself, taking the next corner into an alleyway and sitting alone in the dark. How could she even think of such things?! She wanted to make Tamotsu happy, she wanted to make Takashi happy, and herself - but how was that possible? Takashi said it himself before he left them; he loved her and he loved his brother. With Luka between the two, she could only see problems lying ahead...

"...Someone put a fucking bullet in me already... I don't want any of this..." Luka sobbed as she pulled her knees into her chest. Never before had she felt so lonely.

[Demon Shinobi]

Tamotsu sighed and removed his jacket and tie. "Fine." He said as he threw them to the side. "But instead of that. How's about this. If you can last longer than ten minutes I'll spill everything." He had a sort of confident yet calm look in his eyes. He threw off his shirt next and smirked.. "Oh and you can decide. whether I use 50% of my power of 75%." He said as he took off his socks and shoes. He didn't want his clothes to be destroyed while he fought these two. And the combinations they used would do just that. He cracks his knuckles and fire flared up around him. "Come at me when you're ready." He said calmly.

Melissa wasn't gonna back down, but this was dangerous to say the least. "Misa. You sure we should do this?" She asked a bit worried about the outcome. Still she prepared herself for full on back taking ona form she was sure would work well in tandem with misa's sky dragon slayer magic.

(So she looks like this, but blue and a water dragon... And bigger boobs XD)

(it occurs to me that Meli cheats and uses dragon magic, but doesn't need to learn Dragon Slayer magic. lol XD)

[Jakeozzy]

"Ten minutes, 75% power. Let's do this and don't go easy on us, boss!" Misa ignored her bestie's question and gleefully charged in like an idiot, blue wind swirling around her arms as she prepared to unleash a surge of attacks at Tamotsu. Behind the look of a crazy lover of brawling, Misa actually had a reason for making this difficult on herself and Melissa. How else would they get stronger if not going up against terrible odds...? It'd be better to fight a monster who wouldn't kill them than take on an enemy who would probably kill them if the fight turned sour. Tamotsu was their loveable training monster!

[Demon Shinobi]

"Alright then. Fire Dragon's! ROAR" Tamotsu decided to start off with a bang. And boy was it a big one. The roar was huge.

"MISA!" Melissa shouted before roaring herself sending a huge torrent of water. Since her best friends wasn't backing down she wouldn't either. She always had Misa's back.

[Jakeozzy]

As the raging torrent of water clashed with Tamotsu's potent dragon flames, Misa immediately figured out a way to open up Tamotsu's defence. "Meli, hold it there!" She threw herself using the blue wind beside the two clashing magics and unleashed her own roar into the mix, hoping that they could dispel the roar, push it off course or at least tone it down enough for it not to be a risk. If she just left Meli to fight it by herself, water or no, Tamotsu would be able to turn her magic into water vapour. Working together was their best bet, and that's what they did best!

[Demon Shinobi]

The clashing roars seemed to blow into a sort of mist as they canceled out. "Pretty good you two. But you need to do better if you want to get strong. At least strong enough to catch up to your buddy." Tamotsu said with a smirk as the mist dispersed. "Come on. You're not done right?" He asked as he awaited their next move. It was the smart thing to do right now.

Meli smiled and glanced at Misa. "Not even close to done." She said as her gaze returned to their teacher. "Right, Misa?" She asked before charging off at a ridiculous speed at Tamotsu unleashing a flurry of punches and kicks. "Come on Misa! Together!"

[Jakeozzy]

"It's on, boss!" Misa cheered as she rolled behind Tamotsu, one of her arms enveloped in the dragon wind. She didn't waste a second and swept a blade of sky magic at his back. Whatever happened next, she was ready for the Fire Dragon's retaliation. He had many more tricks up his sleeve than just strength and powerful magic...

[Demon Shinobi]

Tamotsu was sent flying upwards. It almost looked like Meli's last upper cut and Misa's wind attack had done some actual damage. That was far from correct however. He's leaped up with rather good timing and now was 'soaring' through the air above them upside down. "Here's a new one!" Tamotsu shouted. "Fire Dragon's Buster Sword!" He said smirking as a rather huge sword of flames formed in his hands and he swung it down with great strength and speed.The explosive force and power of this attack was truly fearsome. It was a relatively new dragon slayer technique he'd developed not too long ago. This was kind of like testing it out.

"Misa move!" Melissa shouted as she jumped back quickly to try and avoid too much damage. They were about 5 minutes in. Maybe they could do this.

[Jakeozzy]

Misa struggled to cast the complex Vernier enchantment, but managed to cast and use it just before Tamotsu's strike wrecked the ground where the girls once stood. In no time at all they were at the other end of the training room, Meli cradled in Misaki's arms. She leaned closer and kissed her bestie on the cheek before putting her back down, "We're safe! Five more minutes to go, think we got this? It's looking like one hit could take us both out, so we just need to keep moving and countering. Right?" she said before spinning on her heel to face their sparring opponent again.

[Demon Shinobi]

"I really though we were gonna die for a second there." Melissa panted a bit as she clung to Misa. "We're gonna need to try and put him down. We need to fight hmi like we fought Azazel." She added calmly.

Tamotsu was walking towards them engulfed in raging flames. The area over his eyes seemed to be hidden in shadow as he approached them. His eyes seemed to glow a bright red. "Shall we continue girls?" He asked as he prepared another spell.

[Jakeozzy]

"Hehe, unfortunately I haven't heard anything from that demon of mine since we bagged that stupid god," Misa chuckled nervously as Tamotsu marched towards them. Without that inner crazy bitch and her God Slayer magic, they wouldn't have been able to scratch Azazel! Now Misa was wondering if Tamotsu could've taken Azazel alone... Even if he wasn't as strong as the evil god, he was definitely faster and more destructive.

Now, about that spell Tamotsu was preparing to cast...

"Meli, make sure you hit hard and fast. I'll keep him busy. And, uh.. try not to get too close to our attacks - Dragon Slayers are about to go all out," Misa took off her coat and threw it to one side before rolling her sleeves up as well. As she began moving towards their opponent, her arms became engulfed in azure tornados. "Boss, don't hold back now...!" she egged Tamotsu on as she broke into a sprint.

[Demon Shinobi]

"Dragon Slayer's New Secret Technique." Tamotsu spoke as the flames surrounding him began to shrink and condense into the palms of his hands at a rapid rate. He smirked as Meli and Misa moved in to attack. 3 minutes left. "World of FIRE!" He shouted as he pressed his hands to the floor just as the two got close. A torrent of flames broke the ground and shot up around him in pillars expanding outward . It was as if the area around him had really become nothing more than a world of flames in which it was likely that no living crature could escape unscathed.

"Ah! Misa careful!" Meli shouted as she formed a bubbled of water to try and ward off the fire.

[Jakeozzy]

"Well I told him not to hold back!" Misa called back to Melissa over the sound of roaring flames all over the training room. She leapt into the air so that she could hit Tamotsu from above (given she gets past the flames with these next attacks O_o) and flung her arms and body forward, releasing a powerful Wing Slash and rolling in the air. As her legs came about to meet the flames, she turned around unleashed the Talons spell, then span herself around to face Tamotsu properly. If the flames defending him weren't gone by now, there would be problems. It had to be her last attack - both to push her away from the flames and her opponent, and to try and at least scratch him if the flames were battered away by the blue dragon winds. Of course, none of this might've gone to plan! The aerobatics was pretty awesome though. But that came naturally to most of the Saito bloodline.

"Sky Dragon's... ROAR!"

[Demon Shinobi]

Misa reacted fairly well. Both did. Still Tamotsu was able to fend off their attacks for the most part. But a few made their way through. They left him with a few marks. "Fuck... Nice one girls." He said as he nullified the roar with his hands engulfed in flame. "Looks Like you get the information your want." He then said explaining why he stopped the battle. Ten minuted had past. 11 now actually. "So Misa. Meli. Ask a question." He said calmly. "Um... Well... While I turn back. Misa you start." Meli said still a bit out of breath.

[Jakeozzy]

Misaki shakily walked over to Tamotsu and sat at his feet, admitting she was all out of energy. No power left, and it kinda hurt to breathe for some reason. "Agh," she stretched her arms out, "Well... What's the deal with that lady? You don't seem like the type who would do something wrong, so what's up with you and her?" Misa asked, proud of the question they had earned. Maybe they could resolve it without Tamotsu somehow! Or maybe this went a little deeper than the two thought...

[Demon Shinobi]

"Well. Before I actually answer you I want you two to swear that you'll keep what I say a secret between us. And that you won't try to interfere. If you do. Then, our friendship, our trust. The bond we share. It'll be done. Got it?" Tamotsu said with a rather serious expression on his face. He was dead serious. Probably more serious than Misa and Meli had ever seen him. Of course, this was Tamotsu. Could he really make good on such a threat? "if you understand." He sighed. "I... Really... Really like Luka. But... While we were searching for the Shades... We came across the information... That my brother... Who she loved might still be alive. And ever since we got that info it's been like... I was pushed out of her mind." He speech was a bit broken and unsure. If not for the bet he wouldn't be telling them. That much was obvious.

"I love my brother. And I care about Luka. But I don't wanna lose her... But it would be great if my brother was alive. But I want Luka to only care about me... But I want Takashi to be alive... Gah! I hate complicated things like this." About part way through this part of the explanation in which he began making a bit less sense he started banging his head against the wall. Meli couldn't help, but think this side of Tamotsu was a bit cute. he was like a little kid. Of course, it was disappointing to see him so down and unsure. "So... What do you want?" She finally asked while he was grumbling to himself. "I... I don't know..." The fire dragon answered finally sinking to a sitting position with his back against the wall with had a pretty big dent now. "What do you two think?" He asked. "I'm not sure. Never really had a problem like this. Misa?" Meli asked putting some of the weight on her bestie. Still... Meli looked a bit too excited about this juicy bit of information the two had just fought for. There was a sort of... Gleam in her eyes.

[Jakeozzy]

"Just turn it into a three-way relationship like ours? ...Nope, that's impossible. Kinda doubt Takashi or you would enjoy that," Misaki suggested as a joke, trying to pick the big guy up a bit. She threw an arm around him and pulled Meli down beside her. "Look, boss. I'm sure everything will work itself out in the end. Clinging to the past isn't going to help anything. Personally I think Ms. Luka doesn't know what she's missing!" Misa turned a little red, but she didn't drop that smile for anyone.

"You're awesome, boss. If she can't see that, she's blind..."
