A/N: I'm back after a very very very long time. Sorry to have kept you guys waiting for the next chapter. I've been kinda slow on Inazuma updates lately. Do enjoy the chapter.

Pandectes De Cululla

Elements: Blazing powers are devided into five different elements depending on their behavioral habitude. The elements are listed down as following: Fire, Wood, Earth, Wind and Void. Fire is weak againts Earth and strong againts Wood. Wood is weak against Fire and strong againts Wind. Earth is weaks against Wind and strong against Fire. Wind is weak against Wood and strong againts Earth. Void doesn't have weakness nor is strong againts any element.

Each main element holds in them a sub-element as the following. Wind includes such elements as water, ice and lightning. Earth includes such elements as light. Fire element only includes fire and Void either includes darkness or attacks with more than two different elements. Out of the five elements Wood has the most sub-elements as all the other elements fall into this category; such as music, energy and space.

The elements are also devided into Base and Spell elements. Base elements are those of within the blazing user, while the spells/attacks are called Spell elements. Mainly blazing users use the same Spell element to their Base element. After training they are able to use attack whats element differs from his Base element. For example Kishibe Taiga's Base element is Earth but his attack Triangle Double Z is Fire spell.

Power Stats: Each of the three power types have their own personal statistic range, that differs from others. Utsushu have strong attack power which makes their defence stats low. The velocity of their spell cast and recovery varies between spells, but mainly Utsushu have fast spell cast and slow recovery time. Meanwhile, Shubishu have slow spell cast but fast spell recovery. As according to their name they have strong defence but the attack stats are low. The stats of Ouenshu are all average at first, but they can specialize into something according to their liking, either defensive or offensive support.

Weapons: Generally blazing users are granted weapons to use in engagements. The weapon can be particularly anything cards, sceptre, staff or necklace. For example, Shindou Takuto uses keytar as his weapon, while Senguuji Yamato uses gauntles. Some blazing users decide to battle without weapons, what is also an option. Such users are Kirino Ranmaru of Team Mist and Kishibe Taiga of Team Shore.

Kirino Ranmaru: A student in class 2-A. He's a shubishu and the captain of Team Mist. The other members are Mitsuyoshi Yozakura and Kurosaki Makoto. He's an excellent student both academically and in blazing training. He's a honor student, being in the top 5 of the student in his year, and currently the strongest shubishu in Inazuma Gakuen. Some call him prodigy, a child who is born only once in every century. At the moment not much is known of his past, and it also seems that he would rather not talk about it at all. He has mentioned once that he's actually an adopted child, though. It is also known through whole school that he's in good terms with Shindou Takuto from Team Shore.

Beaker Three: Contract

Huh? Where am I?

His body started to burn with enjoyable pain. It started as a small and light itch which then slowly spread around his whole body. By far, the feeling was no disgusting.

What is this feeling?

Cyan and amethyst colors were resonating in the air, battling for dominance. Finally they calmed down as in coming into agreement and tardily faded away. Shindou slowly opened his eyes, blinking few times to fix his blurry sight. He moved his head around clearing out surroundings. Where on earth Kirino had gone to?

Eh? He was holding onto something…?

Only then Shindou realized that he was holding a keytar in his arms. He wondered what the hell was going on. He didn't recall calling out his weapon.

"Wow, Ran-chan. To think that you would make contract with someone." Shindou heard an evil laugh howling in the rooftop. "And after you've been against it for so long." The dark silhouette jumped from the other side and landed just few meters before Shindou, at the very edge of the broken roof.

"Well, that just shows that I've been driver into corner. I have nowhere to run." Shindou smirked desperately.

No!

It wasn't Shindou who spoke those words.

There was something else, no, someone else speaking in his stead and making his body to move. Shindou was still inside his body, but he had completely lost the control of it. It was as if something had entered there and taken his place as the owner and now he was no more than a wandering spirit inside a controlled body.

Even if he wanted to do something, at the moment the only choice he had was to wait that something happened to make everything return back to normal. It was no use getting freaked out as there was nothing he could do either way. Wiping away the tears of his soul, Shindou then returned his mind to concentrate on the encounter happening before his eyes.

"So mind telling me what are you doing here, Saryuu? Or should I call you the proper way, Chikka?" Kirino, who had taken the control of Shindou's body, glared at the dark silhouette. The person let out a light laugh and let the hood fall off their head, revealing their face.

"Exactly how stupid are you, Ran-chan? You may be Joker, but there's no special treating when it comes to those who go up against rules. Chikka has come back to take back the naughty child who had the nerve of running away." A male with white spiked hair and big dark violet eyes told, smirking widely. He was wearing goggles on top of his head and wore sleeveless orange shirt over full sleeve black shirt with black pants underneath. Over that he had light blue scarf, white boots and same colored gloves.

"I should've known it was a problem of this scale when an annoying person made their appearance. You must think I'll be going back with you willingly, but sadly I have to decline your offer. I have no plans on going back there." Kirino's aura got darker every second he spoke to the person. It seemed that he really wasn't in terms with them. Shindou had never seen the person before and judging from the outfit they weren't part of the student body so he wondered where Kirino and they were acquaintances from?

The other person kept their smirk on. "Chikka had the hunch that you might not want surrender voluntarily, which is why Chikka prepared to go by full force since the begging. But it was against Chikka's calculations that you might actually perform a contract with someone. Well, Chikka kinda like these unexpected situations. They make my life so much more fun." The white-head sneered, taking off his cloak to get more room for movements.

"Ah, really. Why do I have bother myself with his troublesome person?" Kirino sighed and fixed his stance, to be ready for the attack that was soon going to be launched at him. The other person revealed his weapon, an old looking wooden staff with a snake head like curl at the top. If it was a little bit longer, Shindou would've mistaken it for a wizards' staff.

"Chikka is Jack. And Chikka will surely beat you up. That alone is enough for a reason for us to have this conversation, Ran-chan." As Kirino didn't make any signs of going to answer that, the white-haired guy raised his staff. "I guess I'll have the honor of making the first move."

"Be my guest." The pinkette smiled calmly.

All of a sudden the white-head got surrounded by white steam. A yellow lightning sparkled from his left arm while the wooden staff was charged with blue rays. "Mortal Smash!" The youngster, who was most likely around the same age as Kirino and Shindou yelled. He put his arm and staff together and a powerful blue ball surrounded by an electrical sphere blasted off towards the brunette.

With a quick somersault to right, Kirino avoided the attack and it rammed against the wall, making a hole it in for the strong force of the attack. When Shindou saw the empty space where the wall had just been he gulped loudly and felt relieved that his friend had managed to evade it. He didn't want to know what had become of them if that attacked had collided with his body.

"You need more than that to get me, Jack-chan." Kirino smiled joyfully, which obvious angered the white-head as soon another same kind of attack was heading towards them. After the fourth evaded attack, Shindou's body started to pant. It was hard to move around while holding onto the keytar. Yet, the smirk on his face remained there. Kirino was obviously calm about to situation.

The endless game of cat and mouse slowly got into the nerves of the white-haired boy. "Oh come on, can't you already do something. Chikka is getting bored." His cheeks puffed up, which was very out of his character when being compared to that handsome face of his. Since the very start Shindou thought that his way of speaking didn't match with his appearance and the deep voice of his, but with every action the guy was getting weirder and weirder.

"Chill down a little. Your impatience is one of biggest weaknesses… alongside your fetish for white-heads." Kirino admitted after having avoided another blue ball with electrical sphere. The white-head pouted even harder about her remark and raised his arm high in the air.

"Oh shit!" Kirino gulped loudly, as he watched the staff slowly creating seven green, hexagonal panels. Once the creation process was finished, the boy pointed his staff at the middle panel. "Shellbit Burst!" Each panel started to shoot powerful yellow beams towards the Kirino-Shindou combination.

The pinkette wasn't able to dodge all of the beams and two of them managed to hit him, blasting Shindou'a body aback. Kirino made a loud groan as his back smashed against a wall. With one eye close he held up the left shoulder of Shidou's body which had been hit by the beam and was now dislocated. Crying in pain he forced it back on its place and slowly stood up.

It was obvious how powerful the attack was just by looking at Kirino. Just by two beams making contact with the body one shoulder was dislocated and the boy barely stood up. He was staying up by the sheer willpower, and wobbled from side to side trying to keep his balance steady.

The white-head seemed to be pleased with the sight before him. "This is why you shouldn't make Chikka mad. Chikka will finish you off." He told preparing another attack. Kirino wiped the sweat and dirt away from his forehead and smiled painfully.

His whole body (or to correct the body of Shindou) ached. He could feel the fastened heartbeat even in the tips of his fingers and gulping hurt his throat like hell. Still the poker face remained in his face. "Don't worry I'm just getting started."

'Oi crybaby-pariah-lad, this is getting bad. I need to know your spell. What power and base type are you?' Shindou suddenly heard a voice speaking him inside his head. He tried to look around only to realize that he had no body to move. The only thing he knew that this voice belonged to Kirino.

'What are you talking about Kirino? We've been studying together for two years already! By know you should know all of my spells and my types.' Shindou answered to the voice of his friend with thoughts. He had no mouth so this was the only way for them to communicate. He wasn't sure if he's words would actually reach Kirino, but he had to try to do at least something.

'Fuck… Well, let's just say that I have temporary amnesia. We are in deep shit here and your body can't stand for much longer. I need you to speak to me! Are you willing to work this out with me or not?' the voice of his friend was getting more furious and desperate, and Shindou started to wonder exactly what was wrong with his friend. He was acting even weirder than before.

And so the brunette had no other choice but to co-operate with Kirino and explain his type and spells in details to Kirino. Once he was done, there was a silence on the other side. Shindou felt uncomfortable. 'Kirino?'

'FUCK, FUCK, FUCK THIS SHIT! Out of all the people in the school I had to get the Pariah and now this motherfucking brat is telling me he's goddamn ouenshu who has absolutely no attacks to go up against that bloody son of a bitch. Fuck with you all!' Kirino seemed to have lost his temper for good. His cursing made it obvious even for Shindou, they were in deep shit. And it was all his fault.

'Kirino, please… calm down!" The brunette tried to his best to talk some sense into his friend. Once again his mind was filled with silence. Finally he heard the other boy sighing out loud. 'You're right, there's no use crying over spilled milk. Let's battle with all we got and hope that we're able to survive. There's no way I'm losing to that asshole, though.'

And so Kirino dodged another attack of the blue ball with a somersault. Once trying to get up his footing got unstable bending his body toward to keep the balance. The whole time Shindou and Kirino had had their mind-talk the body of the brunette had continued battling the one called Saryuu.

'Pariah-kid, we're going with that. Your Fortissimo.' Kirino informed and got into the position to use an attack.

'What? No! Don't use that attack! It's not complete-' Shindou tried to warn Kirino, much to his misfiring. Kirino had already started to press the keys with Shindou's body and played now a beautiful melody. The musical patterns and notes surrounded him, healing the brunettes' wounds. It might not be an offensive attack, but at least they could say in the battle for longer with healed body.

That's at least what Kirino had in plans.

"Fortissim-"

Kirino stopped when the keytar made improper sound as the result of him playing off-key. The keytar created a whirlwind around Shindou's body as it emitted some weird power. The keytar repelled its owner and started to shine brightly.

'-yet.' Shindou finished his sentence after what half of the remaining roof blew up. He had somehow expected for this to happen, after all he had still troubles controlling that attack which hadn't succeeded even once. That attack was even harder to control than Kami No Takuto, which had already succeeded once.

'What the bloody was that just now?' Kirino's surprise was genuine. He should've known that someone nicknamed as 'Pariah' was no good when it came to battles, but to think that even at this point he wasn't able to even control his attack. That guy surely was miserable and deserved to earn such title if Kirino was to voice out his opinion.

'Like I was about to explain to you. I'm still unable control Fortissimo. That attacks succeed rate is absolute zero. I haven't managed to succeed even once.' Shindou sighed, feeling miserable. It was the second time his attack had failed that day. How in the world he was supposed to use the spells in engagements when it failed every single time?

"Oi oi, are Chikka's eyes lying or what? Did Ran-chan just fail her attack? What a miserable piece of shit. If it's going to be this way, then Chikka's victory is crystal clear." The white-head laughed off his ass and sneered proudly. He was clearly looking down on the pinkette-brunette pair who were still recovering from the failed attack. Saryuu gave them no time to gather themselves together when he already raised his hand high in the air to launch his finishing move.

"Shellbit Burst!" The white-head yelled and seven beams launched from the green panels heading towards Kirino and Shindou. The pinkette was about to dodge it, but his legs gave in and he fell on his knees. The boys could only watch as the beams headed towards them and wait for total destruction.

"Power Shield!" All of a sudden shock waves appeared before Shindou's body and the yellow beams were deflected away.

"Triangle Double Z!" Two reddish triangles headed towards the white-head, who avoided the attack with a quick movement. It seemed not much power was put into the attack as the weirdly powered triangles soon dissolved into the air.

"Shin-chan are you alright?" The brunette heard his name being called, and once his head turned towards the source of the voice, he saw Kishibe and Senguuji running towards him. The violet-head was wearing a very worried looking expression on his face.

The white-haired kid clicked his tongue. He didn't like the sudden appearance of unneeded audience. It was better back off for the time being. "Chikka's way with Ran-chan will part for now, but Ran-chan can be sure that Chikka will come back for you again. After all father misses you very much, and wants Ran-chan to return to his side." With that Saryuu was gone as fast as he had appeared.

Kirino sighed of relieve and let Shindou's body relax for the first time since the appearance of the white-haired enemy. He was so glad that everything was finally over. "Today I may have lost, but tomorrow I will win." With those words, Shindou's vision went black and all of a sudden his mind blacked out completely.

"-in-chan. Do you hear me, Shin-chan? Wake up!" Shindou heard Kishibe's concerned voice breaking through his dream. The boy squinted his eyes and slowly tried to open them up. Oh, his control over his body had returned. Finally the brunette completely opened his eyes and moved his body, just to make sure that he really had returned back from that weird void.

It was great to get his body back, but at the same time the wounds of the battle overwhelmed Shindou's whole body. The pain was so unbearable that Shindou wanted to curl into small ball and cry in pain. He wondered how Kirino had managed to battle in these conditions. Just want kind of endurance of pain did he have?

"I'm so glad to have you back! You collapsed all of a sudden! I was so freaked out! Are you alright?" Kishibe's concern was nonstop and Shindou felt like his head would soon burst into two if the boy wouldn't stop. He was really glad that Kishibe was got so worried over him, but currently he wanted some piece of mind.

"I'm fine, really. But where is Kirino?" The brunette asked, being worried over his friend who had suddenly disappeared from his body. Kishibe and Senguuji shot at each other a wide eyed looks and then the former turned to Shindou, silent. This odd behavior of his teammates made Shindou wonder if something was wrong.

"I'm not sure about Kiri-chan, but this person…" Kishibe was unable to continue and only made a small moved with his eyes to look over Shindou. The brunette got his point and turned around. Before him was a person with pink hair tied up in two pigtails. The person had apparently lost all of their clothing as they were wearing only a school uniforms jacket, the same which Kishibe had been missing since minutes ago.

It was Kirino. Shindou couldn't stop smiling when he saw his friend being alright. He didn't get what Kishibe and Senguuji were so silent for. It was only Kirino who- Then it finally hit Shindou. He looked properly at the person sitting before him trying to wrap the jacket around them as much as possible to hide their naked body. That round and elastic thing projecting from their chest area could only be one thing. Which also mean that the person before his eyes was…

A GIRL?

A/N: I suck at writing battle scenes O...O Also I have really ambivalent feelings of having the characters curse. Well, this story is M for a reason and also the character kind of swings that way (Haha). As always thoughts about the chapter are very welcomed.

Note: Chapter two has been modified, with Shindou using Einsantz in the engagement instead of Fortissimo that as of this chapter is incomplete spell. Also Yamato is now being referred by his surname 'Senguuji'. This is for the fact that all male characters in this story are referred by their surname while I'm using first name for the females.

Happening In Next Chapter - Beaker Four: Runaway
So all this time the Kirino Ranmaru Shindou spoke to was actually a girl named Kirino Ran. She even claims to be Kirino's twin sister and managed enroll to the school after her brothers sudden disappearance. Adding to that, Ran has a situation to explain to Shindou and the gang. The pinkette tells she ran away from home few weeks ago and now her father has apparently sent people to pursuit her. The girl doesn't want to return no matter what, but now that Botany knows of her whereabouts things might get ugly for them.
