"Suzuno, Wake up." Clara carefully shook the ice-user his shoulder, it took some time but then he gradually opened his eyes. She saw they first narrowed but slowly became greater and his magnificent teal-colered pupils became increasingly evident. When they were wide enough they immediately surged for the person waking him up. "Ah Clara.." He said with a sleepy voice. His voice cracked a little after the long night of rest he had. But it sounded sexy anyways, allowing Clara to blush slightly.
Suzuno had never felt so weary, he shut his eyes again and stretched out, then he turned around and tried to sleep again. However Clara was not planning to wake him up and then let him sleep again. She sighed and patted him on the shoulder. "Suzuno I understand that you're very tired, but your friends need you now, I think they are glad to see you back again after all." She softly told him. In just one flash Suzuno remembered the whole event of yesterday, his eyes popped open and in less than a second he was sitting straight in bed.
"Sorry, I forgot yesterday already." He said rubbing his eyes, otherwise they would just closed again. Clara looked closely at his exhausting face, you could tell he was tired by just looking at his again meanwhile half closed eyes. "I can tell them that you will be later if you want to go back to sleep?" She asked worried.
"No, No I'm coming!" He said and got up, only he fell back on bed immediately, holding his chest firmly while gritting his teeth's. "Come on, I'll help you." Clara said as she stretched her hands in front of him. Suzuno grabbed them and then Clara pulled him up. "Thank you!" Suzuno painfully smiled at her.
"No problem." She grinned back. "Now come on! They're already discussing." She took his hand and swung it over her shoulder so she could help him with walking, since he could sag through his shaking legs any second now. They slowly walked to the other, that were discussing about what they should do next. They gathered in the kitchen and Suzuno's old friends were helping them with the plan.
"Suzuno, You're up?!" Hiroto smiled, he walked their way and helped Suzuno on his other side. Now both him and Clara lead Suzuno to a chair and carefully lowered him down in it. "Thanks!" Suzuno smiled to the both of them when they were done. "So what's the plan 'till now?" He asked.
"Well, We'll wait for you to recover first, with some treatment that will last shorter then a week. Then we have to find his whereabouts and we were thinking of a sneak attack." Hiroto answered.
"Sounds good to me!"
"However, it will still be dangerous, so we need a back up plan, for if it fails." Nagumo noticed. He was not planning on letting the scene of yesterday happen all again. "Suzuno, you are clearly his target and we don't want you to die, so maybe it will be better if you stay here-"
"-NO, That will not happen, I don't care if I'm his target I won't leave you guys, besides if I'm his target I could be used great as bait, right?"
Nagumo sighed, he had expected that answer, however he hadn't thought about the bait part yet, actually that was a great idea. "That's a pretty good idea actually, still I'm wondering if he would fall for that" He replied.
"Well he did mistaken our strength in the first place." Midorikawa noticed. "Besides he just tied us against a tree and after that didn't even gave us a look, I think that if we separate us from Suzuno he will definitely go after Suzuno, and then we can sneak up on him from his blind spot."
"Good, but where are we going to do that, I mean how are we going to find his whereabouts. Won't it be better to plan the whole thing out. I guess we can fight better in a place we know than if we follow him to an unknown area. If we lead him somewhere we have a big advantage already." Suzuno said.
"Indeed, You guys have way more tricks if you use an known inviroment. Maybe something all your elements can be at their best. After all fire is not really useful of you're surrounded by ice." IQ noticed.
"Haven't though about that yet." Nagumo replied. "Do you have a place where you have enough air and ground, but also ice and fire. I don't think there even exist a place like that.."
"No indeed, not that I know at least.." Blow stammered.
"I know a place like that!" Rhionne jumped up from her seat. "It's even nearby! Do you guys remember where we used to play all the time, you know right Suzuno, you found it because you were interested in the other elements from childhood onwards"
"!" Suzuno's eyes widened when he knew what she meant "-The Lake beneath the dead Vulcan! That's right, the lake itself is frozen, however the ground around isn't because of the heat from the Vulcan. So there is air around the place, ground around the lake, water and ice in the lake and deep in the ground is a lot of lava. Nagumo does lava counts as fire as well?" Suzuno asked.
"Sure it does!"
"Great, if you three hide in the cave that's nearby, then I'll lead him to there." Suzuno added.
"But how are you going to make sure he follows you, I mean he might get after you but he still isn't stupid." Nagumo replied again, he was just worried. I mean they had to leave their wounded friend all the way alone, he could get killed in that sort amount of time, he even could get killed easily.
"I'll lead him to there while were fighting, I mean if we're fighting he probably doesn't notice it so quickly."
"But.. then you have to fight that way all on your own..."
"Well so be it, besides I owe him one. He took someone precious, don't think I'll let him beat me easily. I'll get him there no matter what, that's a promise!" Suzuno smiled. However to look on his red-haired friend's face didn't changed from its worried gaze. Actually it only increased.
"Okay Suzuno, but then we first need a kind of shield for that spell. If he attacks you with it again then you're not able to do anything. And I'm sure he's going to use it. The problem is that a spell like that can't be defended." Hiroto noticed, he was right though. That was not really an attack spell, just pointing your wand at the victim is enough to kill 'em.
"You can defend everything!" Midorikawa told as he stepped forwards. "At least that's what my grandpa told me. Look!" He said and grabbed a paper and pen. He lay it down on the table, and started drawing.
"Look, this is the source of our power. We differ from normal people after all. We have a different aura, we posses magic. So no matter what spell we use, there is always some magic leaking out." And he started to draw some circles. "I'm pretty sure that the spell sends out his magic in every direction, making it impossible to miss the victim." Then he draw a little figure that represented Suzuno. "Suzuno will get hit by it no matter where he places a shield." So he draw some arrows that headed to the figure from all sides. "So what we need to create is an barrier that protects Suzuno not only from one side, but from all sides. Up, down, left, right, front and behind." And he draw with another color suzuno's inner body. "Do you see what I draw, Suzuno's protection has to come from inside his body. It will be his aura protecting him. That way there won't be a single hole that could let some black magic in. This way he will protected."
"Okay, but how do I do that?"
"I'll teach you and the rest can better learn it to, just to be sure after all. It will be hard for you guys, since it's originally an earth technique, but I know you guys can do it!" Midorikawa smiled.
"Okay, then we have our defense, so what about the sneak part, Hiroto that's your specialty!" Nagumo turned around to the red-head that was already thinking deep.
"Hm, I can create some silence and let us be invisible again. However the last time he caught us and there is snow everywhere, so we'll leave tracks. So I have to think about something else."
"Okay then we first do our attack, Nagumo your turn!" Suzuno said.
"Okay, well I have actually the same story as Midorikawa, I have an exercise that makes the aura inside stronger, what gives you the ability to send none-stop attacks. However I never saw it do anyone besides fire-mages. It makes the fire inside stronger that's what they say. However I think they mean the fire to fight. So our attacks will hit him twice as hard after doing that exercise." Then he sighed. "Only, it must get repeated every single day for a week though."
"Well we have a week, so let's try!" Suzuno cheered.
"But you can't Suzuno, you have to recover first.." Clara stammered. "I don't even think Nagumo is already able to train."
"I'm fine." Nagumo raised his hand.
"So am I, if we don't start now, then we'll never get him." Suzuno told them.
"Suzuno have you thought about recovery time yet?" Hiroto asked.
"Recovery time?" Rhionne asked.
"Yeah, as you could see we divide the task into our own specialties, Midorikawa is earth means good at defense. Hiroto is air good at silence attacks. I'm fire means I'm good in attach and then is Suzuno water, means he is our nurse." Nagumo joked.
"I'm not a nurse! Let's say I just help your wounds! But I've thought about it, I have a special spell that I can send to you from almost ten miles distant. To say it easy, I give a bit of my magic to you, to heal your wounds. However that also means, that my magic leaves bit by bit at every wound I heal. So I better v=can only use it for huge wounds.."
"Okay, I guess you have to train that as well.." Hiroto asked.
"Yes.. I'm sorry I still haven't master it completely and if I use it wrong then it's possible I kill the wounded person."
"Oh... that's not so pleasant." Midorikawa sweat dropped.
"Okay, then what about start training right away, we help you guys with it!" Blow announced.
"No I'm sorry." Clara stood up a bit angry. "But we still have two wounded here, that simply can't go training now..."
"What- But I'm feeling alright Clara." Suzuno and Nagumo whined in unison.
"As if I'm stupid!" She walked closer to Nagumo and draw his ear, then walked over to Suzuno and grabbed his collar. "You guys rest at least another day, before going all out again.. we could have healed the wounds yet you guys lost a lot of blood. You don't have the strength to train yet! Accept it." And she walked out of the kitchen dragging the two boys with her, leaving the rest sweat dropping behind.
"They'll be fine, Clara might be a little scary, but she only means it in a good way." Blow smiled awkwardly because of the shocked look on the boys their faces. "We'd expected!" Hiroto laughed.
"Okay what about we start training already?" IQ said.
"Sure!" Midorikawa stood up! The rest nodded and they headed outside to the backyard.
With Suzuno, Nagumo and Clara:
"Clara, please let go of my ear.." Nagumo whined, she held his ear just a little too tightly and it quite hurted. Suzuno on the other hand, got swept over the floor by his collar. While he had a switching look covering his face. "You treat us like little kids.." He pouted.
"Because you act like one."
"Touche!" They replied unison.
"Now serious guys, you really need your rest, I know you weren't sleeping 'till late last night, please just go asleep now.." She this time almost begged. "It crucial for you, just... just do it."
Gazel softly smiled at her caring behavior, she released her grip on them and Suzuno got up slowly, he walked over to the blue haired girl and hugged her. Making her quite surprised. "S-S-Suzuno?" She stuttered a blush covering her whole face. "W-W-What are you doing?"
Nagumo smiled and decided to leave the two of them alone for a while, they deserved it after all. He walked away to his bed and wen tot lay down on it, covering himself in the thick blanket, he was still as cold as possible though.
"I remembered I forgot to thank you for saving my life. So I just do it now." He whispered in her ear, pressing her body close to his. Clara's eyes softened, her hands slipped slowly up to his back and then she hugged him back, by burying her head against his chest. "It's quite a time I could hold you like this." She started to tear up. "I missed it.."
"I missed it to Clara." He answered tightening his grip around the slim girl. "You've grown more feminine." He marked. Making her blush to increase. "Well you grow taller and muscular." She giggled softly.
"I did?"
"Yes, you did!" She smirked. Suzuno's hand held to back of her head, his other her spine. Pressing her as close as possible now, laying his cheek on top of her head smelling the sent of winter. He loved that sent, it made him feel like he was at home. "I missed you all a lot you know." Suzuno whispered.
"Suzuno do you know how much I broke when I saw you almost dead in front of my house. Please promise me you will return alive. Please."
"I can't, I just can't promise, But I will do my best, I promise that, okay?"
"Okay!"
Well that will be it then, I hope you enjoyed it a bit! :$
