Chapter Two

"Cadis Etrama DiRaizel…" Raskreia said as they went up into Raizel's room, closing the door. Raskreia locked it behind them with her telekinesis.

"Erga Kenesis DiRaskreia…" Raizel replied simply. Raskreia blushed slightly. She had… To her great regret… Spoken to Tao about this moment. He said that it was a moment that came in any relationship that lasted long enough.

Then he started getting really dirty, asking her such stupid questions that she just walked away. She was sure that she heard Frankenstein "talking" to Tao about his behavior later. She was still anxious, but she knew as well as anyone that nothing in life was guaranteed. She didn't know how long she'd be back in Lukedonia, or if the Union would attack again.

She was fairly assured that it was a member of the Union who sent Ragus, Edian, and Gradeus along with the Werewolves. However, since they were all dead, she couldn't prove it.

"I… I have to leave for Lukedonia tomorrow…"

Raizel nodded.

"But… I'm not ready to say goodbye to you yet."

Raizel nodded again.

"I… Want to spend the night with you… Tonight… I want to…" Raskreia began, turning red, her usual pale features turning a pale shade of pink.

Raizel had talked to Frankenstein about this event. Sex. It happened in most relationships… The ones that lasted long enough… And theirs had been going on for six months.

Frankenstein had said that most couples get to that point after the sixth or seventh date at the latest. But, some take it slower than that, and it all depends on personal preference. However, six months is typically considered a long time to wait… It wasn't bad… Frankenstein said. Just unusual.

Raizel nodded. He understood. Crossing the room at a slow and languorous pace, he embraced Raskreia, kissing her softly on the lips, escorting her over to the bed.

As they got to the bed, Raizel bowed slowly to her, kissing her hand, his lips breezing over it, and getting up onto the bed with her, sitting there, kissing her, his lips brushing over her lips and cheek, and jawline. Raskreia could feel herself heating up, sighing in happiness. What would her father say about this? True, he had always kind of encouraged them to spend time together… But this was on a whole other level.

Raizel's arms snaked around Raskreia's waist, softly rubbing her, moving to the buttons of her dress, sensually, and tortuously unbuttoning them with all the grace suggested by his regal figure. As he reached the top of her dress, he began to slide the sleeves down her arms, his hands ghosting over her bare flesh, leaving goosebumps to rise where his hands had been, Raskreia shivering in pleasure.

She had spoken to Yuizi and Artemis respectively about this. Yuizi had had very little advice to offer, as she had dated only two men in her life, and had slept with neither. Artemis was more helpful… To an extent… First, she offered to tutor Raskreia personally, which Raskreia turned down immediately. Then, she suggested that she give him a hummer. Men love hummers, she said. The conversation went on from there, with Raskreia displaying an appalling lack of comprehension, according to Artemis.

Now, the young Lord understood what Artemis meant when she said that it would be unlike anything she had ever done before. She was right. Raizel's lips kissed her shoulder, going down her arm, kissing her hand. His lips felt more like a light breeze, cool and gentle against her increasingly warm skin.

Gently, dextrously, Raizel began undoing the clasp on her bra, dropping it to the floor. However, Raskreia had learned that she was supposed to remove Raizel's clothes as well. Thus, she reversed their positions, kneeling above Raizel on the bed, her hair undone, in nothing but her panties. She didn't fail to notice that Raizel was looking at her breasts.

"D-do you like… what you see, Cadis Etrama DiRaizel?" Raskreia asked, her blush deepening.

Rai said nothing, just blushing, and nodding as if this were a completely normal response as she removed his jacket, undoing the buttons of his shirt, and dragging her fingers down his smooth chest, her touch as light as his was. As she did, Raizel sat up partially, kissing her breast, causing a short jolt of pleasure to course through her body.

Perhaps it had been that she hadn't expected that sudden kiss. But, it was all the more exciting that way. Something about the spontaneity of that kiss, short and sweet, was thrilling. Raizel's tongue flicked over her nipple, taking her nipple between his lips and sucking briefly, kissing it, causing her to gasp in sudden ecstasy, a red hot feeling of vertigo overcoming her so that she almost collapsed on the bed.

Raizel slipped out of his shirt and jacket, looking down at her with a slightly intense look. She could smell his arousal just as surely as he could smell hers.

Raizel's hand moved down to her panties, his finger hooking in them, and pulling them down to her ankles, tossing them on the floor, his other hand moving to her pussy, gently prodding it, moving over her clit, causing her to cry out with pleasure each time. After a few strokes, Raizel pushed his fingers in, causing Raskreia to cum, crying out with orgasm, her whole body shuddering with the intensity of it.

Raizel began to pull down his own underwear, revealing a fully hardened penis. Raskreia gasped at its size. He was at least 22.9 centimeters (9 inches) long. How was all that going to fit in her? Especially her first time. But she trusted Raizel enough to believe that he wouldn't hurt her.

Regardless, she tried to stall the moment of intercourse by moving down to his penis, blowing on it, and kissing the tip, slowly wrapping her tongue around it, causing Raizel to gasp, his fingers gripping her hair as she began to move up and down on him, going all the way out, and holding for a moment, occasionally humming to cause vibrations as Artemis had advised, eventually feeling Raizel gripping her tighter. Though his expression changed very little, she could tell that he was close.

In the next moment, she buried his penis all the way, going partway into her throat as Raizel came, groaning with his release. Although Raskreia coughed as she pulled him out of her mouth, she quickly got over it, and laid down on the bed, ready for him to penetrate her, nodding that she was ready.

As he slowly, gently positioned his tip at the entry, pushing in, making sure not to go too quick, she could feel a slight burning sensation as he penetrated her deeper and deeper, finally reaching her barrier, and breaking past it.

He was moving slowly enough that it felt more like a snapping sensation than actual pain. But it still didn't feel good. Raizel buried himself fully, then stayed still for a while. He had been told that a woman's first time might very well hurt, and would cause some level of bleeding. This was of course, by Tao, but it seemed logical. So he waited until Raskreia nodded at him, and he began moving inside her, in and out, causing a burning sensation that didn't hurt. It was just… Wonderful.

Raskreia gasped as he thrust the first time, moving slowly, but purposefully inside her, looking her directly in the eyes. There was something about his eyes that seemed to increase the pleasure even more. Maybe he was using some of his power. But, it didn't seem like it. She couldn't feel a signature for the power. But she was hardly paying full attention. Raizel thrust again, causing an almost immediate orgasm in Raskreia, who screamed as she gushed, even harder than the first time.

Raizel leaned in and kissed her gently on the lips, whispering that he loved her using the barest amount of telepathy.

Raskreia… Your beauty knows no limit… Rai whispered in his head, projecting it to Raskreia, who blushed slightly, her body heating up further as the ecstasy built inside her, until the only direction it could go was out.

As the euphoria built to a peak, Raskreia cried out with release as she orgasmed. Shortly after, Raizel orgasmed as well inside Raskreia, choosing to "shoot blanks" as Tao had called it. He wasn't entirely sure what that meant, but he knew that it meant that he wouldn't get Raskreia pregnant.

He wasn't ready for that yet, and he was fairly sure that Raskreia wasn't either. Barely making a noise, save for soft gasps as he released inside her, he smiled contently at her, lying down next to her on the bed as they both fell asleep together.

"I love you, Erga Kenesis DiRaskreia…" Raizel whispered out loud to her before sleep overcame him.

"It's sad to see you go, Lord… Of course, your room will be held for you until you return. Do give Gejutel and the others our best…" Frankenstein said, secretly wishing that he could get rid of the other spare occupants as easily as this. All he really wanted was to have his time with his Master again, time that he could spend as he pleased, serving tea to him, and talking.

Raizel never spoke much, himself. But he always listened to Frankenstein, no matter how much he talked, and he never judged him. There were so many spare people in the house, now, though. Regis had left semi-permanently, and Rael was all but gone. He had to focus on being a clan leader, and Regis had to focus on learning how to be a clan leader.

"Cadis Etrama DiRaizel…" Raskreia said softly, taking Raizel's arm with her left hand, feeling as he took her arm as well. She pulled him close, kissing him, before looking in his eyes one more time, and turning around, picking up her suitcase, of which she had one, and seeming to disappear. She was going to teleport to Lukedonia using a small biomass device that Raizel had made for her. It was far simpler than taking a plane with Frankenstein, which she would have done, but wanted to get home quick.

Although Raizel didn't show it openly, he was sorry to see her leave. He loved her, and had enjoyed the time that they spent together. He had copied her gaming prowess once when he kissed her, and had offered to give her Bioenergy Manipulation as well. Raskreia declined, though… For the time. Although Bioenergy Manipulation would have essentially completed her soul weapon, she did not want to rely on external power until her own power was to her satisfaction.

As Raskreia disappeared in a flash and a crack, Muzaka put a hand on Raizel's shoulder.

"Hey, Raizel… You'll see her again in no time. Let's go see a movie together…"

"I cannot."

"What? Why?"

"I have school. Perhaps you would like to join us at the PC Bang after school. You could meet my friends." Raizel said, smiling. Muzaka's face went slack. This was probably the first time he had said so much to Muzaka. Raizel scarcely spoke, much less speaking in such long sentence.

"Hello, Han Shinwoo…" Seira said, kissing Shinwoo on the lips. She was still wearing the necklace that Shinwoo had given her. She seemed to really like it. When she noticed that Shinwoo had seen it on her, she seemed to positively glow with happiness. Although her face didn't really show it, at least not to most people's perception, Shinwoo could tell that she was happy.

"Hey, Seira… That's a really pretty necklace…" Yuna said, smiling at Seira, who blushed slightly, thanking her.

"Shinwoo gave it to me for our six month anniversary."

"Really?" Suyi asked. "You two are really getting serious now, aren't you?" She asked. Shinwoo and Seira nodded. The kids turned around, looking at Rai, who, like usual had said nothing the entire walk… Somehow, it seemed like he was even quieter than usual, though today.

"Hey, Rai… Is something wrong?" Suyi asked, looking concerned about Raizel.

"Hey, yeah! You've been even quieter than usual… If that's possible."Ikhan added.

"I am fine…" Raizel responded.

"You seem sad… Oh! Has Ras gone somewhere? Usually, you two are never apart…"

"She has gone home." Raizel said, keeping to his usual taciturn manner.

"That's too bad… You two've been going out for a while, right?" Yuna asked. Raizel nodded.

"Six months, one week, and two days."

"Wow! That's… Quite an internal clock you've got there, Rai… You wanna come with us to the PC Bang after school!? We can cheer you up!" Ikhan said with a laugh. Somehow, Raizel seemed to enjoy spending time there, even though he lost every game he played. They had been giving him space so that he could be with Raskreia, since he seemed really happy with her.

Now, he seemed really depressed, though. Maybe it would help cheer him up if they went to their old haunt.

"May I bring a friend?" Raizel asked, turning a faint shade of pink. The children were all looking at him like he had sprouted a second head.

"S-sure… Wh-who is your friend?"

"Muzaka… I knew him before I moved here." Raizel said.

"He's another noble?"

"No… A Werewolf… He used to be the Lord of the Werewolves. More powerful than any other. He was even powerful enough to force me into an 820 year Hibernation." Raizel said as they walked past Pedro, his voice too low for Pedro to hear, not that he was listening. They were on time, so no reason to stop them.

"No way! We get to meet a real live Werewolf? Can he turn me into one!?" Ikhan asked excitedly. Raizel shook his head.

"That is a legend. Werewolves are born, not cursed." Raizel said, not bothering to mention the one person who "became" a Werewolf… M-21… Linus. He had a Werewolf heart implanted in him. At first he rejected it, but his enhanced regeneration allowed the heart to synchronize with him properly. Now, he was all but a full Werewolf. It was unsure whose heart he had taken.

But what was sure was that he was extraordinarily powerful. He had the power of a Werewolf, and the drive of a human to become more powerful. He sparred with Frankenstein at least three times a week in a new underground facility that was almost as large as Central Park in New York City was. It had dozens of different combinations of terrain, including city, mountains, rivers, desert, plains, forest, swamp, etcetera, which helped Linus learn how to adapt rapidly.

Tao and Takeo were coming along rapidly in their Dark Spear training. Tao was learning how to create an actual spear like Frankenstein could. Takeo could fire pure dark energy bullets out of his guns, and create guns out of dark energy, though they tended not to last long, as their concentration tended to wane as the pain got too great to continue to control and they were forced to abort the dark energy.

However, all three of them were becoming much more powerful. Even Frankenstein had become more powerful. Raizel had renewed his contract with him, imbuing him with some small level of the Bioenergy power that he had. Frankenstein's regeneration was enhanced greatly, as was his strength, speed, and even his ability to control his Dark Spear. Linus, Tao and Takeo had turned down a Contract for the time, saying that they wanted to be worthy of the contract before they accepted one.

Thus, they were still ordinary modified humans. Whatever ordinary meant, given that they were easily superior now to Cerberus, whom they had great difficulty fighting back when they first did combat with them.

"Great! We'd love to meet any friend of yours, Rai!" Yuna said cheerfully. Raizel smiled vaguely before walking into the school and heading straight for Frankenstein's office.

"Heya!" Came a shout from outside the school. The children looked up and saw a young looking, muscular man with long gray hair, and gray-blue eyes. He was incredibly handsome, and had a number of long battle scars that told stories of fights he had in the past.

"Hey, Rai! This is your friend?" Ikhan asked. Raizel nodded.

"Hey, you must be Raizel's human friends? You're headed to the PC Bang? I… Don't think I've ever played computer games before. Maybe you guys could show me how?" Muzaka asked.

"Oh, don't worry! You can't be any worse than Rai! He's never won a single game!" Ikhan said cheerfully. Raizel blushed again. He wasn't the same gamer he was before.

Although Ikhan didn't know, Raizel had gathered knowledge of gaming remotely from imbuing him with a biomass seed, and had gained knowledge from Raskreia just from touching her. Most of them didn't know that he had new powers.

"I wouldn't count Rai out yet…" Shinwoo said with a laugh. "He's not the same guy he was before."

"Well, we'll see about that!" Ikhan said boisterously.
