[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=purple][b]OOC: I agree with Corrina. ^__^ I'll do my best to move things forward a little bit for my own character, however.[/b][/color][/size][/font]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=#800080][b][i]Timestamp: Room 264, Basic Magiks Class, 2:55 a.m.[/i][/b][/color][/size][/font]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=#800080]Valisa made her way to her next class. For a moment, she thought of skipping it and trying to make friends. But who would befriend a ghost? Well, besides Hunter that is. He was one of the friendlier lycans that she had met. Then again, she didn't know too many lycans. Maybe they were all very friendly. Then again, Hunter might have just been an exception to his race. No, that wasn't right. Lycans weren't exactly a 'race'. She had forgotten what they were, or what she was either. She knew that being a ghost had anything to do with race. Valisa couldn't remember, even though she usually paid attention in class. Oh well, hopefully it wouldn't be on any tests. She would be fine if it wasn't.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=#800080]Valisa walked through the door to the classroom. She didn't bother to use her magic to open it. Merlin looked over at her as she sat down and smiled.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=#800080]"Ah, Ms. Helson. It's nice to see you could come."[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=#800080]She smiled back and waited until class had started. There were only a few students that had arrived early and she was one of them. She looked around the room and saw a couple of zombies, a golem, a ghoul and a banshee, but no ghosts. She sighed. Was she the only ghost in this school?[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=#800080]After Valisa's Basic Magiks Class had started, Merlin had her come up to the front to demonstrate a spell. She tried to do as he asked her, but she felt strange and started to fade.[/color][/size][/font]
[b][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=#800080]"As you can see, Ms. Helson has forgotten that even ghosts need to eat. Especially if they're going to plan on using magic."[/color][/size][/font][/b]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=#800080]Merlin turned to her and whispered.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][color=#800080][size=2][b]"It's okay, Ms. Helson. Go to the cafeteria and you'll find a mana discharge. Come back to class when you feel better. Hurry now."[/b] Merlin smiled.[/size][/color][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=#800080]A bit embarrassed, Jun did as she was told and left the classroom. She would have to hurry and 'eat' if she wanted to make it back before class was over. She was off to a bad start in magic and she wanted to correct that as soon as possible.[/color][/size][/font]

[color=crimson][b][i]Timestamp:[/b] 3:29 a.m.[/i]

Hunter put down his notebook, his pencil, and his mental processes. He shook his head, reading his lyrics. He groaned.

His lyrics, passageways into his soul, were all about HER. He banged his head. Why? Why had he given her the pendant? His mother had told him, in a note left him before she vanished only months after he was born, that the gem would be completely irremovable by even the greatest master mages until the "ties of the heart were connected, the wedding of two hearts consummated physically", whatever that meant.

Let it be said now that Hunter, for all of his martial prowess, had never had the 'birds and the bees' talk with his father.

Mentally shaking himself, he grabbed his Mjolnir guitar and jumped onto the table. Using his [i]ki[/i] as an amp, as he always did, he went into a loud, slamming solo. Anyone nearby instantly stared into the center of the dining area. A lycan was playing? Excellent! A vampire recognized the beat, and jumped up as well, holding a bass guitar. Soon, on top of the makeshift stage, five Lunarians were rocking out with various instruments, with everybody in the cafeteria appreciating the impromptu show. As more people began to listen, Hunter decided to up the ante and pumped his [i]ki[/i] into the instruments of his impromptu band, amplifying the music beyond the technological level. He smirked, turned to his band, and went into a familiar opening strain...

[i]His band began to play, the message clear on what they were playing. The strains drifted across the dining area, becoming more and more intense until a drop-off, where Hunter picked up the slack with his voice.

[u]Heaven ablaze in our eyes
We're standing still in time
The blood on our hands is the wine
We offer as sacrifice [/u]

Hunter's band intensified the playing once more, the ones that could move freely beginning to dance in place. Hunter himself was throwing himself into the song, trying to forget and forgetting to try...

[u]Come on, and show them your love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul, my love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul[/u]

Ranma and the vampire put their backs together, playing together for a bit, before the werecheetah went back to the lyrics.

[u]This endless mercy mile
We're crawling side by side
With Hell freezing over in our eyes
Gods kneel before our crime[/u]

Hunter's band swung into a repeat, playing hard, as Hunter began to kneel on stage, caressing his guitar and making eyes at every girl there, just for show. The vampire and a spectre sang behind Hunter, repeating necessary lines, in the chorus.

[u]Come on, let's show them your love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul, my love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul
(Rip out the wings of a butterfly...)
Don't let go
(Rip out the wings of a butterfly...)
For your soul[/u]

Hunter's backups began to play alone, Hunter taking the chance to ease up and let them have the limelight. Too soon, the chorus came back up.

[u]Come on, and show them your love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul, my love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul
(Rip out the wings of a butterfly...)
Don't let go (my love...)
(Rip out the wings of a butterfly)
For your soul
(Rip out the wings of a butterfly...)
Don't let go (my love...)
(Rip out the wings of a butterfly)

For your soul...soul....soul...[/u]

Hunter surveyed the audience, captivated. Sweat made his fur sheen, and he and his band were soon treat to rabid applause. Even merlin, in the back, was clapping them on. As the music faded, the crowd could be heard to be asking for more...[/i][/color]

Corrina followed Silvio as he led her down the corridor and into his dorm room. Silvio didn?t bother to lock the door; he knew that if anyone in this academy wanted in, they would be able to get in whether the door was locked or not. The room was fortunately empty, and the two walked over to Silvio?s king-sized feather bed and sat down upon the crimson sheets. Silvio spoke, ?So?What do you think of this place so far??

Corrina smiled, ?I think it?s wonderful actually. Especially these dorm rooms, ya know? They?re huge!? She glanced around at the room and then returned her eyes to Silvio.

?Yeah, they are big.? As he said this he didn?t notice that he was staring at Corrina?s chest. He quickly looked up and his face turned scarlet.

Corrina giggled and said, ?Yea?? She couldn?t think of what to say. She just looked up at the ceiling and thought to herself, [I]Is he going to kiss me?[/I]

Silvio placed his hand softly on Corrina?s face and turned her to face him. He leaned forward and his lips met hers in a short kiss. He put his mouth next to her ear and whispered, ?I really like you, Corrina.? The candlelight danced across Silvio?s face as he smiled. Corrina licked her lips and leaned forward to kiss Silvio again, only this time they kissed with tongue and for much longer. After a quarter of an hour they parted and Silvio brushed the hair out of his eyes. He fell back on the bed and Corrina lay down on top of him with her head on his chest. A candle on the wall beside them flickered wildly and died.

[Corrina]

[COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]Corrina looked up at Silvio and smiled. "I'm going to head off to bed okay? I'll see you tomarrow, right?" she said rolling out of the bed and standing.
"Of course you will." Silvo said sitting up in bed. Corrina gave him a quick peck on the cheek, "goodnight," she said as she walked out the door. There were several students standing in the hallway talking, when Corrina exited the room they all stopped and looked at her, after all she had just come out of one of the male dorms. Her hair was slightly frizzy and roughed up looking, and her lip gloss was smeared, [I]now everyone is going to think i'm a slut, great first impression[/I], she thought to herself. She quietly walked into her room across the hall, everyone still staring her down. She shut the door behind her and sighed. She walked across the room and threw herself onto her bed. She smiled to herself, snuggling up to her sheets. Corrina let out a fit of giggles and rolled all around her bed, she was so happy.
She hopped up and stood on her bed and jumped up and down, eventually she started to yell over and over "HE LIKES ME, HE LIKES ME, HE LIKES ME!"
She was acting like a fool, but she couldn't help it. She was sure Silvo could probably hear her yelling, because he was only across the hall. She felt embarassed and plopped back down on the bed.

There was a knock on the door, Corrina hopped off the bed and ran to get it. She opened the door and it was Silvio. "So, you really like me that much?" He said smiling. "I heard you." He added. Corrina blushed and giggled and walked over to her bed and sat down. "So what do you need?" she asked, considering she had just left his room. "I couldn't stop thinking about you." He said, looking slightly embarassed. He walked towards the bed and sat down beside Corrina. [/COLOR]

[Starwind]

The open air whirled around them as he ran through the dark air, three seconds were already gone. Chrono moved in rapidly to snatch the candle from the old man, who was much faster then he appeared, six seconds were gone. Chrono bound to the roof and sky dived down on Mr. Condo as the old man wrapped back to the right. With a quick strike he struck Chrono on the back, he didn't hurt him, just his pride, ten seconds down.

He had only a few seconds to go, Chrono made a direct assault on Mr. Condo and moved straight for his right hand, 11 seconds down. The old man rolled to his left, as Chrono anticipated his move and rolled to his back to grab for his hand. He missed by only an instant, 12 seconds down. He was running out of time, Chrono took to his feet in an instant and lunged at the old man again, he nicked his elbow, he was getting closer, 13 seconds down.

The old man took to the defensive and propelled himself to the farside of the room, Chrono kept to his heels and stuck close to the old man. Chrono made another snatch at the candle, the old man rolled to his back and landed just behind Chrono, 16 seconds down. Chrono planted his heel and cracked the stone floor, injuring his right knee, but this gave him what he needed to grab hold of the old mans wrist. He pulled himself up to him and quickly snatched the candel from him. It took 22 seconds.

Suddenly the light in the center of the room flickerd back to life, the two were frozen in there place. Chrono had the candel held in his hand tight and high in the air, as a sign of his success. Mr. Condo straightend the collar on his shirt and nodded to Chrono "Good work Chrono, it only took you 22 seconds to take it from me. You are dismissed for the day."

Chrono nodded to the teacher, shook his hand and made his way out of the room and walked out into the cool dark hallways. He had now to only wait for Aki, next was there weapons class, it was there they could talk a bit more.

[cancer]

As Silvio sat down beside the lovely girl whose dorm he was in, he noticed that on the wall beside her bed was a large blood stain. ?Whose blood -?

Corrina interrupted the guy, ?It?s my own. I always mark my?area.? She grinned at Silvio, and by the candlelight he could see her sharp, deadly fangs glistening. Silvio smiled back, and Corrina grabbed his face with her small, white hands and admitted her tongue into his mouth. With such passion Corrina had never kissed before. As she fell against his body, Silvio fell backwards upon the silk sheets and put his arms around her slim waist. To no one?s notice, Corrina began to sweat light red blood from her forehead.

Silvio pulled his mouth away from Corrina to speak, ?You?re fierce.? His lips did not part as he gave a slight grin.

Corrina wiped her forehead as blood ran down her face, ?Oh, I?m sorry. I?m usually like this during the late hours, hehe.? She sat up on Silvio?s waist.

?Oh, don?t be sorry. I enjoy it,? he added with a smile. ?You bit my tongue though,? he showed her the bloody tongue of his. ?But it?s alright, I know you meant no harm.?

Corrina lay down again and went to kissing Silvio?s neck with the same passion she had displayed before. Her breath was hot upon his flesh. Silvio now put his hands upon Corrina?s back as she made her way down to his chest. She unbuttoned his dress shirt completely and kissed all over his chest and stomach. Silvio was now breathing harder, and the crotch of his pants was erected. Corrina saw this and began to unbuckle Silvio?s black leather belt. Before she had finished though, the door of her dormitory opened.

[Disenchanted]

[SIZE=1]Aki was casually walking down the hallways her weapons class didn?t start for another 15 minutes. It was one of her most favorite classes, advanced weapon technique. Chrono would be there, [I]all the better[/I] she thought. She made good time arriving at the women?s dorms. The thought hadn?t even crossed her mind as to whom she would be sharing a room with. Normally Aki would be complaining to Chrono all morning long about which person or thing she would be partnered with, but it hadn?t even crossed her mind.

Walking to her door she waved hello to one of her friends as she opened the door to her room. She immediately recoiled at the sight of the boy named Silvio and some girl on the bed together. The girl had her hands down at his crouch unbuttoning his pants while kissing, Silvio had his shirt undone.

Aki jumped back and yelled in Russian [COLOR=RoyalBlue]?Zaebis?!....?[/COLOR] Which was something along the lines of holy F***. Silvio and the girl separated immediately and rushed to get them selves back together. The girl fixed up her cloths and hair and Silvio re-zipped his fly and buttoned up his shirt.

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]?Oh my god I?m really sorry!?[/COLOR] the girl was extremely embarrassed and her cheeks had become a bright red which was unusual because Aki noticed she was a vampire. Silvio was sitting back straight looking also quite Embarrassed.

Aki got over the initial shock quite quickly and walked to her side of the room and gathered her books.

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]?Hey don?t worry about it. Ummm but you might want to take that somewhere else. There?s a place near some old ruins out the back of the school near the large back felid. Take a left through some bushes near the tiger tree. Don?t ask questions you?ll know when you see it. The place is enchanted so watch out. Lots of people go there to um well u know. The pass word is [B]?Inghandrod?[/B]. It?s a teleportation grove don?t step out side it you?ll end up in a random country?[/COLOR] Aki was talking to a rather stunned pair while she was gathering her various items for class.

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]?That should just about do it I think.?[/COLOR] She looked over at the other two and smiled.
[COLOR=RoyalBlue]?Nice to meet you room mate. I?ll be seeing around?what?s your name??[/COLOR] The vampire replied with a perplexed look on her face.
[COLOR=RoyalBlue]?Corrina?[/COLOR] Aki smiled and nodded to Silvio.
[COLOR=RoyalBlue]?See you round Silvio... Oh and if anyone asks I don?t know a thing all right?...Good well bye!?[/COLOR] Aki left in a flash for weapons class. The two in the dorms were extremely stunned and embarrassed but happy none the less.
Aki ran down the hallways she would just make it to class. [I]Thank god [/I]she thought.
[/SIZE]

[Corrina]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]Silvo smiled and said "[I]I think we should cool it for now, maybe tomarrow night[/I]?" He winked and stood up from the bed. Corrina grabbed his hand and tugged. "[I]Can't you just stay though, just for tonight? We won't do anything, I just want you to stay here[/I]." she asked with innocent eyes. Silvio sat back down on the bed and said "[I]what do you mean[/I]?"
"[I]I mean, you should stay and sleep with me, not in a sexual way, but just, sleep in my bed with me, and we'll snuggle and stuff[/I]." she said smiling.
"[I]I don't know, I don't think I could keep my hand off of you, you know, because you're so damn cute[/I]." He chuckled. "[I]But what if someone walks in[/I]?" he asked.
"[I]well, if the lights are off, then no one will come in here, they'll just assume i'm asleep or noone is here[/I]." She answered.
Silvio smiled and said "[I]I suppose you're right[/I]." He kicked off his shoes and lifted his legs onto the bed. Corrina stood up from the bed and went over to her trunk and opened it. She pulled out some pajama's and sat them on the bed and then shut her trunk. "[I]Don't look[/I]." she said as she lifted her shirt, barely giving Silvio enough time to cover his eyes. He laughed and said "[I]Don't look? You were the one who was getting ready to have sex with me[/I]!?" Silvio still peeked between his fingers, enjoying the view. "[I]Okay, you can look now[/I]." Corrina said.
Silvio lowered his hands and layed down in the bed pulling the sheets and blankets over him. Corrina blew out a few candles that were on the wall and climbed into bed with Silvio. She blew out the candle on the bedside table and layed down under the blankets. Silvo smiled at her through the darkness and said "[I]I could get used to this[/I]." Corrina nodded and smiled and gave him a small kiss on the lips before snuggling up to his chest. Silvo wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head. "[I]Sweetdreams[/I]." He said quietly. [/COLOR] [/SIZE]

[Neko]

Oh, dear...too many students for one poor teacher to focus on...

----------

[COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma][I]Timestamp: Alucard's Quarters, 3:40 AM, early-morning cycle.[/I]

The girl stepped quietly into Alucard?s dark, silent room. The door closed behind her on its own. This would probably creep out a first-year, but Soir had been in trouble with Alucard enough times to know not to be put off by such trivial gestures. [B]?I have a question for you, teacher!?[/B] she called.

A thick black fog crept across the ground, swirling around the room. It gathered itself at the chair behind Alucard?s desk, where it thickened, taking shape into Alucard himself. [B]?Yes, Ms. Demisoki??[/B] he said lightly, an unreadable smile on his otherwise indifferent face. [b]?Is there something that I can assist you with??[/b]

Alucard felt it was best to allow a student to tell their problems on their own, even though he had a decent guess at what the problem was. However, when it came to troublemakers like this Soir girl, who had a reputation for ?borrowing? things without permission, he usually would cut right to the chase, and Soir knew that. As such, it was about twenty seconds of obscure silence while the two stared at each other, both expecting the other to say something.

Twenty seconds is usually about enough to put Alucard off his mood.

[B]?It?s about that pretty little pendant you?ve got around your neck, isn?t it??[/B] He asked, absolute seriousness in his voice. [B]?Ms. Demisoki, have you been falling back into your?[I]habits[/I] again??[/B]

[B]?I didn?t steal this!?[/B] Soir protested. [B]?Someone [I]gave[/I] it to me!?[/B] She held up the gem as if in attempt to further prove her innocence. Alucard lifter an eyebrow.

[B]?Oh??[/B] He laughed. [B]?Then I really don?t see what the problem is.?[/B]

[B]?The problem,?[/B] Soir growled fitfully, [B]?is that I can?t get it off.?[/B]

[B]?Ah,?[/B] Alucard trailed off. He stood up, stretching his almost bizarrely tall body. He had, after all, just gotten to sleep a few minutes ago. He walked lightly over and crouched down until he was at eye level with Soir. [B]?Well, then, let?s have a look.?[/B] He could definitely feel there was something, some kind of spell in this pendant. He gently took two sides of the chain about the girl?s neck, and began to lift the pendant. [B]?Tell me if you feel anything.?[/B]

The pendant was about a quarter of the way up her head when the girl stifled a scream. Alucard didn?t budge an inch, but continued to slowly, ever so slowly draw the chain upwards. Soir?s screams broke through her lips. It sounded like she was in some serious pain. Alucard frowned, lifting the pendant still higher. The girl shook with pain. It became so violent that Alucard finally shook his head, and set the pendant back upon her chest, shaking his head. If he had taken the gem any further off, the girl could?ve died.

[B]?Who gave this to you, Ms. Demisoki??[/B] he asked. Soir seemed to hesitate for a moment. [B]?You can tell me, Ms. Demisoki, I only wish to help.?[/B]

[B]?A b-?he calls himself ?Hunter???[/B] she said. Alucard?s frown turned into a most distinctly evil grin.

[B]?Oh, [I]him[/I] again,?[/B] he laughed. [B]?A student can get [I]expelled[/I] for giving another something so dangerous. I?ll have to talk with Mr. ?Hunter? about this, among other habits he seems to be developing.?[/B] Alucard thought for a moment on the matter. On the outside, he was cool, collected, and perhaps a bit contemplative. In reality, though, Alucard was slightly worried. Why would that runt be doing something like this to another student? Was he up to something?

Or did he just have a really good handle on how to irritate the [I]hell[/I] out of him?

[B]?It would appear that a spell has been placed on that pendant of yours, Ms. Demisoki.?[/B] Alucard sighed, sitting comfortably behind his desk. [B]?I will look into the matter personally. Perhaps I could arrange for you and Mr. ?Hunter? to have a little?discussion with me tomorrow night??[/B] He waited for Soir?s respose, but at that moment he heard a distinctly loud growl. Soir?s face turned slightly reddish. Alucard smiled lightly, waving it off.

[B]?Would you like something to eat, Ms. Demisoki??[/B] He asked politely, knowing how dreadfully bust the cafeteria always was. [B]?I could arrange to have something brought up, if you?d like. I don?t imagine human blood is something you would be terribly interested in."[/B][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Talon]

[color=crimson][b][i]Timestamp:[/b] 3:40 a.m.[/i]

Hunter and the rest put their instruments away, hopping down from the table amid cheers and swoons. Hunter waved a bit, heading for Merlin, fighting through the crowd, when a surge of electricity burst through his body, wracking him with pain. Looking down, trying to suppress his scream reflex, he realized the surge was emanating from his pendant.

Another, more powerful surge caused his fur to smoke, and his semi-healed wounds from his earlier fights to reopen. He vomited blood, the student body around him moving away from him, quickly. His battered form straightened, and he limped out of the cafeteria, once again on all fours.

His nose twitched, and his pendant still sparked with remnants of the magical curse. He growled as he neared the source of her scent. His body was steadily growing weaker, the curse continuing to affect him even minutes after the charge wore off.
It was the pendant's nature, after all, to affect mroe greatly, and more prolongedly, the one who [i]hadn't[/i] attempted to remove the pendant. Half of Hunter's heart was stored in Soir's new pendant, and her attempt to remove it took that essence away from the medium that kept him going. And having only half a heart hurts. A lot.

He spat blood again, dragging himself against what he perceived to be a teacher's office door before knocking with the back of his knuckles, his legs now nearly useless. He coughed blood again as the door opened rather suddenly, causing the werecheetah to fall. His eyes looked up and he groaned as much as he could, coughing another few flecks of life. "Not you...."

He promptly passed out.[/color]

[Stark]

Zamiel always made good on his word, as Soir knew from prior experience. Whether it was giving out detentions, or going out to get a meal for a worried student, he always did it. It was one of the reasons why Soir liked him, and why she smiled in her embarrassment as she took him up on his offer.

She sat placidly on the floor as he headed for the door, breathing deeply as she realized that Hunter's word was good too. He was right, about the pendant, even if he was wrong about her thoughts on the curse. It was the fact that he was right that mae Soir all the more interested in finding out all she could about the St. Sebastian, and solving all of the little mysteries that lingered around it.

There was a groan as Zamiel opened the door, and the sound of someone speaking in muffled tones. Without a thought, Soir was on her feet and heading to join Zamiel at the door. She [I]recognized[/I] that voice, even if she couldn't place who it belonged to.

"Well," Zamiel began, calm as ever. "It seems that we'll be having that conversation sooner than expected."

Ears twitched as Soir stopped, realizing the trouble she was in. There was Hunter on the ground, looking worse for wear, but breathing. "Oh dear God..." She murmured, darting over. Zamiel gracefully stepped aside, preparing to do something that Soir didn't care about. She just hoped it was contacting the infirmary.

"Hey," She said, shaking his shoulder. "You better not be dead. I'm not dragging your corpse around, you stupid cat." She cursed under her breath as he moaned again. "Get up, idiot. This isn't funny. Do I look like I'm laughing? I'm not joking here. Come on, just [I] get up[/I]!"

[Starwind]

Chrono stood casusally outside the classroom, an apple in hand as he munched away at it. He was waiting for Aki to show up, she had been by her room by now and would surely bring some kind of complaint she would need off her chest right away. He took another bite from the appel as he saw a flusterd Aki come running around the corner. Chrono smiled "Having fun with your new roomie?"

She just sighed and looked to him "You don't want to know." She had run the whole way here, so she took a moment to catch her breath then continued "I come in to see her making out with some vampire guy."

Chrono rose and eyebrow "I thought you said I didn't want to know."

"Yeah, but I'm gonna tell you anyway, I thought you knew me that well by now." she said with an almost sinister smirk plasterd on her face, she then continued "What was that guys name again...uhhh...Silvo. Yeah that was it."

Chrono laughed "I never would have picked him to be a ladies man. Or to be that forward for that matter. Did you tell them where they can take that?"

"Sure did, I better not catch them ding that in the room again or there's gonna be hell."

Chrono laughed a bit at the comment, it was nice to get his mind off his troubles. Aki was always easy to talk to. He turned and popped the door to the room open "Class'll be starting soon. We better get our things together or the teacher will rip us a pair of new assholes."

Aki nodded and the two walked into the classroom.

[Corrina]

[COLOR=DarkOliveGreen][SIZE=1]Corrina couldn't sleep. It was nearly 5:30 a.m, and she hadn't slept a wink. Silvio on the other hand, was snoring loudly. He had fallen asleep almost instantly. She was bored and hungry, but she didn't want to wake Silvio, although she tried several times. She patted him on the cheeks, tried to shake him awake, bit his arm, anything to wake him up, but it wasn't working. Finally, she climbed on top of him and grabbed his shoulders. She shook him as hard as she could and he quickly opened his eyes looking alarmed. He jumped not realizing who was doing the waking, and almost threw Corrina off the bed. She landed with a thud beside him, laughing. She smiled at him, and he didn't smile back. Silvio was obviously not a morning person.

She layed back down beside him and took his hand in hers. "[I]I'm bored[/I]." She said.
"[I]And that involves me how[/I]?" Silvio said obviously annoyed at how she woke him. Corrina gave him a devilish grin and raised an eyebrow. "[I]OH...you want that..now[/I]?" He said looking surprised, but happier none the less. Corrina nodded quickly and kissed Silvio. "[I]In here[/I]?" He asked when the broke away from the kiss. She nodded again. "[I]But...We don't have enough time, everyone will be coming back from lessons soon[/I]!" He protested. Corrina frowned and rolled over, her back facing Silvio, obviously pouting.

Silvio sighed and wrapped his arms around Corrina pulling her closer to him. "[I]Listen, its nothing personal, but can we wait? I really like you, and I don't want to make any mistakes[/I]." He wispered in her ear.
"[I]What do you mean by 'mistakes'[/I]?" She asked quietly.
"[I]I want this to mean something, I don't want to rush into this, I want to be in love, and know you're in love with me. We just met after all[/I]." He wispered.
"I understand." She replied. Silvio closed his eyes and held Corrina tighter. She turned to face him. They kissed for a brief moment, and stared at each other. "[I]I don't think i've ever been this happy[/I]." Corrina finally said.
"[I]Me either[/I]." He replied, nuzzling up to her neck.
"[I]I like this[/I]." She said.
"[I]Like what[/I]?" He asked
"[I]us[/I]." She said smiling and closing her eyes. She finally slept. [/SIZE] [/COLOR]

[Talon]

[color=crimson][i][b]Timestamp:[/b] 4:17 a.m.[/i]

Hunter's eyes opened blearily, and as he had been trained to do so since birth, he took stock of his situation upon waking. His memories were hazy at best, but he seemed to recall something about the pendant around his neck, the vampire whose eyes were locked on same pendant, and the girl with the fluffy tail who was looking at him with a mix of worry and annoyance.

With that, Hunter realized he was laying flat-out on a stretcher, and was in his Homid-Furry form, a pair of catlike ears atop his head and a long, silky tail wrapped around the tailed girl's waist. He also noticed the two piecemeal creatures, obviously flesh golems, carrying his stretcher. He began to wonder why he was on a stretcher.

It was then that Hunter felt the blood flowing from the reopened wounds from his fight with Damien, the halted breathing his abused lungs were struggling to keep up, and the flow of blood leaking from the corner of his mouth. With said realization, he remembered exactly why he was were he was.

His pendant had sent the shock of Silver Lightning through him, a magical spell that ruptured the spirit of any and all magical beings for a time. The one that removed the pendant would feel only a very, very painful Aura Blast, which would simply cause pain. Silver Lightning, however, would cause a magical being's aura to tear, dampening their powers, weakening their physical form, and sometimes fatally rupturing their internal organs. From the abuse his lungs were laboring under, as well as the sever pain in his upper-left ribs, Hunter thought it was safe to assume he would have died had the pendant not been replaced.

It didn't help any that removing the pendant would also effectively destroy half of Hunter's soul. Hunter lifted his head slightly, felt the pain of a migraine setting in, and changed his mind. He summed up his predicament quite loquatiously.

"Ah, crap and a half."[/color]
