1 Chapter three

Both fighters circled each other, both eyes intensely focused. This was the first Refina had face Dilandau in a long time, that didn't mean she had forgotten how he fought though. When she took her eyes off his chest too glance at his face and she wasn't surprised to see the almost animal aggression reflected in his red eyes.

That was her mistake, while his eyes held her Dilandau attacked! But Refina was fast enough to get away with a beginners foolish mistake. She cursed herself as she dodged to the side and blocked his swing easily.

Dilandau took advantage of her over confidence and attacked again with a broad swing at her neck. She was trying to doge more and block less because she was painfully aware that he was stronger than she was. Also that he was around a head taller never helped.

She dropped and rolled to the side and wondered if kicking was allowed, she figured against it. Using her momentum to pop back up, he forced her to block another attack, but she was still waiting for her opening.

Refina knew Dilandau, he wasn't one for endurance, but then neither was she, he wouldn't wait for her to get tired but then she wouldn't strike till she was ready to annihilate him.

THERE! Refina seized the opportunity and lunged forward trying to slash his arm but Dilandau dodged hopped forward and only a lucky step saved her from losing.

After the lighting quick encounter the two sprung back and began to circle one another again. This time Refina wasn't going to make the same opening mistake again. She could wait him out as long as he could wait to attack her. Not very long either way but what did she care? N0o one lasted longer than a few minutes.

She began to breath heavily, she should have taken her armor off but you cant do that in a real battle. Maybe she should be the first to attack … again she saw the movement in his torso but this time she flew forward and blocked it before he was really putting his weight behind the thrust. That threw him off balance and though she didn't have strength she had speed.

'Damn you!' he regained his footing faster than she had expected and thrust back causing their blades to come together at the hilt. 'Now your in trouble.' He chuckled as he saw the recognition of that fact on her face.

He had gotten her she couldn't hold up under his strength, she could feel it he was slowly forcing her to her knees and she would have no choice but to yield. She gasped and took the chance to try and break the pointless struggle. She dropped and rolled for a second time.

She wasn't beaten, and she knew this as she smirked at him, she had been holding back just enough energy knowing that Dilandau wouldn't hold back anything. She jumped up one last time and flew into a flurry of attacks he couldn't possibly defend against, forcing him to take steps back. When she was sure he was out of breath she brought her sword in a wide crescent sweep disarming him and smiling as his sword clanged on the ground as he collapsed on the wood floor.

Her hair was in ravages falling all around her; Dilandau thought she looked like she had a halo. Refina held out a gloved hand offering to help him up. He took it and as he heaved himself up threw her to the ground.

With a thud and an 'umph' Refina fell on her butt. Glaring up at Dilandau she kicked and swept his legs from underneath him sending him to her former position. 'Poor loser.' She chided as she got up and brushed herself off.

'what?' Dilandau grabbed her pony tall sending her falling back on top of him. Her pressure wasn't unwelcome or annoying as he thought it would have been when she was falling … wait … did she look cute? … was Dilandau looking at her in a way completely alien to him?!

The Ryuu could almost feel the air freeze while they waited for the conclusion of the spectacular fight.

Dilandau looked into her eyes and saw her anger snapping beneath them as her right cheek was twitching. He started to laugh hysterically, maybe he didn't think she was cute. Probably noting. Besides! Dilandau Albauto didn't fall in love!

Refina rolled off him rubbing her head and glaring at Dilandau with a twitching cheek as he laugh at her. 'Don't. Touch. My. Hair! She growled though gritted teeth.'

'Forgot you didn't like that for a moment.' That was the entire apology. 'GET TO THE SHOWERS! ALL OF YOU STINK!' the starring slayers were sent off, true they were all sweating and panting from fighting Refina.



The dragonslayers showers were actually only seven stalls without curtains so they had to line up and take turns. Refina promptly marched over to the last stall in the corner and declared that if anyone lined up behind her or even thought of looking at her she would run them through before they even saw anything.

Dilandau was standing under his shower stall trying to recall that feeling he had before he pushed it off for good. What had he felt? He was more confused than he usually got on any subject. Had he thought Refina looked cute? Well … he knew she was beautiful … but did he think she was beautiful … naw. He shook his head and went to get his towel. He heard screaming down at the other end of the shower room.

'What the hell are you doing?'

'Hey! Wait till were dressed!'

Refina was dressed in her orange armor marching past the showering line of Ryuu, with noting less than a smile on her lips at the chaos she had caused. Dilandau quickly grabbed his towel and began to get dressed.

'Get me a towel!'

'Get me my armor!'

Refina reached the end of the walk leaving a regiment of blushing boys in her wake. She quickly turned on her heal and cackled insanely. 'It doesn't matter! YOUR ALL GAY ANYWAY!'

Dilandau started to cackle insanely too, Refina must have not remembered that the air vents carried the noise to various rooms of the Vione.



//Gay any way gay any way gay any way// the little echo traveled though the air vents to a certain strategoses room.



Folken had been looking over his calculations, going over the measurements for an upgraded melef witch was going to hopefully come out in a year or so. He heard the fain echo coming from his air vent "gay any way!" what was that? He shrugged it off and continued on his wook



//Gay any way gay any way gay any way// the little echo traveled on thought the air vents to a much darker room but wasn't noticed because of the rumbles and hums blocking it out.

'Do you thing the fate of the subjects has changed that drastically?!' a sorcerer was looking at a large and noise machine. Tubes with different colors were filling and emptying and the dragenergist in the center pulsed and glowed. The complex work of metal would seem like a large noisy piece of interesting junk to anyone else, but they seemed to understand how it worked.

Another Sorcerer looked into a small eyepiece and jumped back. 'The subjects fate lines have changed. Slowly … I agree. Termination must be now or it will get out of hand.'

Another sorcerer stepped up to operate the machine 'But the particular subject was hand crafted and a solution to this problem was already there in the makeup.' The operates voice seemed to whine and was annoying.

'yes but if you look past the obvious you may see an inconsistent variable. It may look completely random-'

'Random acts of fate is only a theory, keep that in mind.'

'I am not saying fate has acted in a random way, I'm saying that the subject could be reverting back: therefore effecting its fate in an unexpected seemingly random way.' The others shook their head and denied that this could be so, but put the thought aside for other days, now was the time to find a way to fix the problem promptly, they did not have the luxury of finding out why the problem had occurred, they would fix the root problem when they had stopped the immediate one.

They spent the rest of the day debating and arguing back and forth and didn't even notice when them servant brought them dinner.

'We will take a recess and discuss these matters later.'



The dragonslayers were in their dorm getting ready for bed or goofing off till the lights were shut down. Dilandau and Refina were sitting on Dilandaus bed figuring out the training schedules and trying to go over their strategic theory books.

'This shit sucks!' Refina threw the blue book to the floor.

'So, try making schedules for training when there are no battles t train for!' Dilandau was restless, tow days with no fighting was too much for him. He climbed down to get her book for her and shoved the schedules over. 'Here, switch jobs. If we both know half the strategy and positions of armies maybe that will be enough for Folken.' He sat down in the space between beds and undid his overcoat, the fortress was too hot to war all that leather and armor, besides, he was going to have to get into his night cloths eventually.

'Err; I don't think that's going to work. What's this mean?' she hopped down sat on his legs to show him his scribbled sentence.

Again, Dilandau had that funny feeling, as if … they shouldn't do that but … he didn't mind. He was still slightly confused, they had sat this way before … why had things changed? 'I don't know …'

'Dork.' Refina repositioned herself and was now lying against his chest so Dilandau brought the book over her had and read over her shoulder. 'Hey! I don't want to study that stuff!' Refina tried to push the book away 'why do we need to know it Folken makes all the plans any way.'

'They say that if you know the theory behind what you do it makes you better, you should know that.'

'I do, but that's not going to stop e from complaining.'

'Get your hair out of face if your just going to complain' he pushed her off and she gave him a japans raspberry.

'Don't do that, you look possessed.' Dilandau was annoyed she was confusing him. 'Get to bed.'

'I was going anyway.' Refina would be glad to get out of the hot leather armor. The dorm was way to warm.

After a complex system or dressing without taking anything off Refina was grateful to get to sleep, but she still had too much energy when the lights shut off.

'So, your sheets are red.'

'Yes'

'And your locker is red.'

'Yes'

'Where was my locker? Don't tell me they took it off the line!'

'We got new models, you'll have yours soon enough.'

'Oh.' Dilandau had just settled down to get to sleep. 'And your armors red.'

'What are you getting at girl?'

'But then your plate isn't red.'

'Yes, ill have to fix that.'

'Is all my stuff going to be orange again?'

'Probably.'

'So who are all the new dragon slayers?'

'I will tell you in the morning. Please go to sleep.'

'Okay.'

A few hours later Refina woke up sweating, it was extremely hot and she felt like she was going to throw up if she didn't get some cool air sooner or later. She looked over and saw Dilandaus silver bangs flopping back and forth. He was by the air conditioner vent. In a half daze she climbed in with him to get some cool air.

When Dilandau woke up in the middle of the night he was too surprised feel anything but still asleep shock. 'What are you doing?' he muttered when he turned around to could see Refina trying to move him over.

'S' too hot.' She was on top of the covers but the bed wasn't meant to accommodate two people. And … Dilandau was still getting the warm fuzzy felling all over.

'Just don' move.'

'Okay.' They both drifted off to sleep and Refina soon got cold so she got under the covers. She didn't think anything of it, not like they were going to do anything. Then she felt Dilandaus white arm snake round her waste, too asleep to wonder what it would look like it the morning Refina took comfort in his warmth and moved closer.
