5:30 AM...
Damon was sleeping soundly with his arms wrapped around Ikaros's body, Ikaros watched Damon sleep peacefully as they both lay under the covers. Damon awoke in his slumber to see Ikaros centimeters away from his face. Damon sat up yawning then proceeded to look at his alarm clock, Ikaros leaned up to sit right by her master.
"Good Morning Ikaros..."Damon said half asleep, trying to stay awake. "Good Morning Master, did you sleep well?"
"Well enough... I can't remember what I dreamt about though... odd." Ikaros heard that word, dreamt... a dream? She would inquire about that topic later. Damon stood up from his covers stretching his arms out. "I'm going to miss that cool card of yours Ikaros..." Damon confessed, remembering what Ikaros told him about the card became apart of the dream state, self terminating itself.
Ikaros held out another card showing to Damon. "Not to worry Master I still have an outdated version of the card, however because of its model it's only able to grant one wish at a time." Ikaros informed her master, leaving Damon to approach the card.
"Hmm I better have one with me, in case I ever get into a situation... you never know it might save my life." Damon placed the card in his backpack while moving down stairs with Ikaros following shortly behind him. Damon was in the kitchen looking for his cereal, while Ikaros approached behind Damon.
"Master can I be of assistance?" Ikaros asked making Damon turn around for a second.
"huh? oh yeah... sure can you get two bowls?" Damon asked leaving Ikaros to reach up in the cabinet to retrieve the bowls. Minutes later Damon had two bowls of cereal one for him and the other for Ikaros. The two sat down by each other, Damon was already eating his cereal while Ikaros scanned the food in front of her before taking a spoon slowly consuming the cereal.
"So... what's with the chain? I mean I noticed you can lengthen in and that stuff, but can you take it off?" Damon asked his Angeloid, leaving Ikaros to shake her head.
"If you want Master I can make the chain invisible and weightless."
The chain around Damon's arm started to disappear, he immediately began to feel the weight of the chains off his arm as they fully disappeared, Damon noticed Ikaros's chain around her neck disappeared too, all she had was her collar with a single link of a chain attached to her collar.
"That's better..."Damon sighed of relief, how could he go to school with a chain and... Ikaros, there was still Ikaros to deal with. Damon hoped it was possible if Ikaros could stay behind while he was at school, because how would the school react with a flying Angel, not to mention how Damon was going to explain to Sohara.
"Damon! You better set up your alarm clock! We got to be at school at 6:15!" Sohara shouted while opening the front door with a half eaten bagel in her mouth. She ran past the kitchen noticing Damon and the other occupant. Sohara walked back seeing the Angel in plain sight with Damon eating breakfast.
Sohara pointed at Ikaros screaming at the top of her lungs dropping her bagel hitting the floor. "WHO AND WHAT IS THAT?!"
Oh shit! she wasn't supposed to see this yet!
"UH- UH S-Sohara! uhm she I-" Ikarus interrupts with her soft, sweet tone "I am a pet cla-" He dived, tackling into the buxom winged beauty, landing with one hand beside her head and one over her mouth to stop her from saying what she was about to. Sohara was getting that aura around her...that Aura that would symbol Damon's imminent demise...he flinched, waiting for the strike to come and crack his skull, but it never came, when he opened his eyes from his flinch, and looked to where Sohara was, she was gone, he heard his front door slam shut...
oh man, not even one chop...she's really pissed!
Damon quickly looked at Ikaros then at the direction where the door was running straight out the exit to catch up to followed Damon by air flying a few feet above him as he chased Sohara to calm her down."….Sohara wait up! Please just slow down and let me explain! Come on you got to listen to me!" Damon shouted down the block nearing his confused/livid best friend.
Damon managed to catch up to Sohara at a traffic light impeding her march of anger to school. "N-now, would you please just listen Sohara, give me a good minute and I'll-…*Notices Ikaros flying above the two.* IKAROS People aren't used to seeing flying Angels around here!" Damon yelled at Ikaros calling her down to the ground level.
"Explain what?! about her? Who the Hell is she?!" Sohara yelled down at her friend ignoring the fact that Ikaros was flying above them a few seconds ago. "Well yeah, this is Ikaros... Long story short, she saved my life two nights ago... and now she's stuck with me... it's been quite the shocker for me, I was going to tell you about her but, Shit happened and now I don't want you to be angry with me!" Damon pleaded with Sohara folding his hands together.
"Master, have I caused this conflict?" Ikaros asked with her expression unchanging.
Why is this happening to me?! What did I do to have this Shit thrown at me!?
"Why did she call you 'Master' Damon?!" Sohara reignited her fury and anger yelling at Damon with a ferocity Damon knows (and fears) all too well. "How the Hell am I supposed to explain it?!" Demon snapped yelling at Sohara his eyes glaring at Sohara for a moment then reverting back to a regretful one. Sohara hearing Damon snap at her caused her to freeze up for a few seconds, before regaining a kind of composure fueled by rage, raising her hand preparing to chop Damon to oblivion. Damon winced preparing to receive the onslaught of his best friend's signature move, but that attack never came, as Ikaros grabbed Sohara's left hand holding it in place.
"Why are you trying to attack my Master?" Ikaros asked with a semi inquisitive/hostile tone as she applied pressure to Sohara's wrist.
Sohara moved her hand to pry off Ikaros's grip, but her grip was firmly placed around Sohara's wrist and would not move. "I'll ask you again why are you trying to attack my Master?" Ikaros asked with a little more force in her voice. It was clear to see Sohara's pain on her face, Damon moved to Ikaros grabbing her hand tugging on her.
"Ikaros stop..." Damon ordered Ikaros, but Ikaros only looked back at Damon then concentrated on Sohara.
"Master she tried to harm you, I will not allow that..." Ikaros coldly stated, with her emerald eyes starting to shift to red.
"Ikaros Stop!" Damon ordered again with force, immediately halting Ikaros's actions letting go of Sohara. Ikaros stepped by Damon while Sohara massaged her wrist from the soreness.
"Master I only wanted to protect you." Ikaros stated letting Damon to approach Sohara viewing the grip mark on Sohara's wrist.
"Just...just go back at the house, I'll yank the chain if I need you." Damon said with a tone of regret seeing as Ikaros could've really hurt Sohara. Damon grabbed Sohara by her left hand gently, observing her arm. "I'm sorry about Ikaros, Sohara... I didn't know she would react that way."
Sohara gently pulled her hand away from Damon's touch, while she rubbed it with her right hand. "I think... I need some alone time, Damon..." Sohara confessed in a quiet, unsure voice, as she turned her back to Damon, leaving him almost dumbstruck from what just transpired .
What the Hell does alone time mean?!
"S-Sohara, what are you talking about alone time, we hang out all the time!..."Damon asked stunned thinking that this was a sign of her cutting ties with him.
She was my only friend...I can't believe it.
Sohara began to move across the street once the cars stopped for the red light, Damon clenched his fists tightly, making his finger nails dig into his palms to the point where they nearly draw blood, gritting his teeth, his eyes watered a bit, making his vision a bit blurry. "F-Fine! See w-what I care! Take your stupid Fucking alone time!" Damon yelled at Sohara causing her to freeze up, then continue on her way to school. Damon now felt more alone than ever, his best and only friend... just ditched him.
Damon waited a good solid minute before making his way across the street when the traffic light turned red again. Making his away across the street, he continued on his way to school.
Was that it? I called off Ikaros, and saved herself from a broken bone and she decides to call a break on our friendship?

12:50 P.M.
Damon was suffering from a major heart break, Sohara is completely ignoring him, not even passing a look at him. Sound around him was just high pitched ring, blocking out everything... except for the sound of his own painful beating heart.
This is the worst... everything that could've possibly gone wrong did... Now I lost Sohara again... except she's sitting right next to me, but I never felt so far from her... Grandpa Nick what would you do in this kind of situation...? I have very fun memories and some scarring with my Grandpa... I miss him, I just want to know when he's coming back...
MANY YEARS AGO...
Damon's front door busted open revealing Damon's Grandfather Nick, bleeding from several bullet wounds from his chest.
Damon panicked rushing over to his wounded Grandfather/father figure.
"GRANDPA!"Damon screamed at the top of his lungs, as Nick fell against the wall, sliding with his back bleeding out.
"*COUGH**COUGH* Hey there Damon boy... not looking so good right now..."Nick said sputtering out blood from his mouth and on to his legs.
"Grandpa what happened?!" Damon asked who was frightened for his Grandfather.
"Well I ran into trouble with the old lady... and it's looking pretty badly right now... Don't give up in life, no matter how dark and cold things seem to get... and always remember *DED*" Nick collapsed drawing one 'last' breath.
"GRANDPA!"
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
The memories still haunts Damon to this day, giving him slight stutters when he talks and the lack confidence. But right now Damon feels very Cold... like freezing...
Jesus... this cold feeling... I just wish there was fire that can just warm me up from this Shit day...
All of a sudden inside Damon's backpack, the card registered the wish... A fire broke out in the ventilation spitting out fire hitting the ceiling, causing everyone to panic and make a B-line for the exits, trampling one another like startled animals. Damon's eyes shot around the room, seeing fire breathing through the vents like a mighty beast...and the noise? it sounded like a monster in it's own right, groaning of metal expanding, the roar of flames expanding and crawling down the walls, he stares at the pillars of red, hot, angry flames, then he hears the most terrifying groaning noise of his young life. Looking up, Damon catches in the nick of time the support cables holding up a section of the ventilation shaft melting and snapping, he looks to his right, grabbing Sohara's forearm and yells out" Watch out!" she tumbles over the top of a students desk and chair, while Damon is crushed under the flaming weight of the red hot shaft, he can feel his skin being burned, the smell of his flesh cooking filling his nostrils.
Then there is a crash, the wall on the windowed side of the room caves inwards, sending rubble across the room, Damon's vision is fading in and out as he stares at the winged angel before him, thinking he is dead, and this is his harbinger, forgetting it is his Angeloid in this panicked near death state, then her voice and her lifting the flaming debris from her master "Master, are you alright?" She asks quietly, her eyes reflecting the flames beautifully, Damon stares up, and gasps in the smoke in the air. "I'm fine! g-*cough cough!* go put out the fire!..." and just like that she is off, studying the schematics of the school, heading to the sprinkler control valve in the basement. Damon stumbles out of his spot, fumbling over chairs and desks, his vision blurry and fading in and out, and he sees her...Sohara lying on her side, breathing shallowly, Damon panics, she seems to be really suffering, he kneels and picks her up bridal style, she lies limply in his arms as he yells out to no one in particular. "T-this is bullshit!" he proceeds to head for the door of the classroom, kicking it outwards..the halls are like the halls of hell, burning and hot, he carries Sohara through the halls, swerving and serpentining, his vision is getting blurrier, his breathing painful, inhaling so much smoke that his lungs can hardly take it, as he reaches the main hall way to the entrance, the sprinklers activate, and he falls to his knees finally from exertion, there stands a teacher, horrified that not one, but two students were left behind in this crisis situation..Damon holds her out to the teacher and wheezes, the teacher takes her and Damon finally falls to his right...blacking out...
….
…...
…...
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Damon could hear muffled voices in his slumber, his eyes struggling to open.
"I think he's waking up guys!" Sohara stated seeing Damon's eyelids twitch open, from the sun rays beaming down on his eyes, from the curtains of the hospital room he was placed in. Damon's eyes slitted open seeing blurred figures, a few seconds later it became clearer seeing Sohara, Ikarus with her wings concealed it looks like, Mikako in her eerily calm expression, and Sugata, who was keeping a close eye on Ikaros.
Damon's vision readjusted becoming clearer. "Hey guys...Sohara... I'm glad you're okay..." Damon spoke out in a croak due to his esophagus being dried and cracked from fire and smoke inhalation. Sohara was about to burst into tears as she wrapped her arms around Damon, leaving him to tired to react.
"You suffered a few burns being caught up in that freak fire." Sugata informed Damon, while his eyes still observed Ikaros.
"Oh hush, no more talk about burns, lacerations, or fires... I decided to nominate you Damon as student as the year for your bravery... isn't that sweet of me... of course it'll look good for both our images so make sure to smile when the press arrive.. hmhm.." The Class President congratulated Damon in her own way, causing Damon to slowly nod.
Damon's turned his attention to Ikaros who was standing by his bedside."Thanks... Ikarus.." Damon painfully croaked out, wincing from the talking. Ikarus was concerned for her Master Damon, he was in pain and she wasn't able to soothe it. "I'm sorry you're in pain..." Ikarus stated seeing Damon nod in and out from the drugs in his system. Damon's attention turned to Sohara who still had him in her embrace. Damon was lucky to have survived with only minor burns, and bruises, a minute longer trapped under the weight of that inferno ventilation, and it would've been much more serious.
"Sohara... I... thought you wanted... to take... a break... from... me..." Damon said to Sohara leaving her to press his head against her chest cradling his head.
"No I didn't! not anymore... You risked your life to save me Damon..I never want to lose you again." Sohara cried holding Damon's head, nearly smothering him between her breasts.
"Good... " Damon breathed out in pain and exhaustion from his deed of the day.
"You know what I think... I think you two need to just kiss and get it over with..." Mikako teased both Damon and Sohara, causing Sohara's face to turn red releasing Damon and letting him fall back against his hospital bed.
"W-what are you talking about?!" Sohara was panicking, Mikako knew something which scared the living Hell out of Sohara, while Damon didn't give a rat's ass because of the drugs he was doped up on. "It's no mystery, everyone knows you eye goggle each other, when you think nobody's watching...
"We don't eye goggle each other?! Where did you get that idea?!" Sohara was about to explode of embarrassment, leaving the class president, to giggle.
"Oh simple I made them up and spread them along to start a betting pool, and I believe I know how this bet's going to end so I'm not going to say anymore than that... Ta!" With that said, the Class President excused herself from the room dragging Sugata by the arm, leaving Sohara to shriek, exploding in a thousand emotions.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
The next day the school was close down for repairs, luckily it was on a Friday so that sacrifice could be made for the officials. Damon was at home in front of his T.V. watching some action movie. Damon's hands, chest, parts of his neck and shoulders were bandaged up from the burns he received. Ikaros was sitting by him spoon feeding him his dinner. Sohara brought a tray of food looking for a place to sit by Damon, turning her head towards Damon as she sat right by him on the opposite side of Ikaros, she fed him a spoon full of her own course.
Swallowing his food, he turned his head towards Sohara. "Hey Sohara, how about next Friday... we go to the country fair, just the two of us..." Damon's offer started tears of joy in Sohara's eyes, she placed the tray down hugging Damon tightly, Damon lips curved into a smile wrapping his arms around her back.
"Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!"Sohara squealed in excitement, leaving Ikaros to tilt her head in confusion.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Hours later in the night Damon was in the tub relaxing in the warm water, trying to take his mind off the pain while his pain medications were slowly kicking in.
Damn it what a day... great that me and Sohara are best friends again... I almost lost her again... then again I almost died... again. Well I guess all I should have on my mind is recovering...
"Master?" Ikaros called her Master as she was right in front of the tub. Damon opened his eyes seeing Ikaros in a towel. His face turned red and he began to shake, seeing Ikaros look at Damon with a body sponge.
"Master, would you like me to wash your back?"Ikaros asked Damon, who was shivering thinking of the possibilities.
Yes! GOD FUCKING YES!
Damon was speechless of that question, all he did was nod. Ikaros unraveled her towel around her body exposing to Damon once again. Ikaros stepped in the tub behind Damon, soaking the sponge she placed it on his back while rubbing in soap.
Holy Shit! Damon calm down, she's just washing your back... she's just washing your fucking back! Naked!
"Master, I'm sorry you were hurt in the fire, you put your life at risk and told me to go put out the fire while you were in pain...why?" Ikaros asked Damon, concerned he might make those choices again.
"If that fire continued it would of killed a bunch of people... I'm lucky I only got out with some burns." Damon replied remembering the haunting memory of the feeling of his skin being cooked against the metal while seeing his friend by the hot flames. Damon breathed out leaning back, his back touching the bare skin of Ikaros's chest. Damon was about to freak out feeling her soft breasts against his skin, but Ikaros wrapped her arms around his chest leaning her body against him.
"Master please don't risk your life, without you I wouldn't have a purpose in life." Damon was moved by Ikaros's words, though he was having trouble restraining himself because of Ikaros being completely nude.
Just let her continue to Hug you Damon, Don't do anything stupid or you're going to be living in a house full of Angel babies!
