Two days. That's how much longer it took for Stella to finally feel better again. Her magic was amplified from the exertion, making her a bit stronger than before. She was sparring with omi, relying on her moon powers to manipulate his water moves. She stood there, poised, bending the water at her will. A white Moonlight surrounded her, enabling the water to be attracted to it. She pushed the water back to omi, at a faster rate than he can muster up. The wave came closer to him, and he was ready.
"Orb of tornami! Ice!" He yelled, bringing out his wu, freezing the wave just in time. He stared in awe of how close he was to being water logged.
"That was most impressive, Stella! I didn't know your moon powers were that powerful."
" Thanks. I try." She said, rubbing the back of her head. They went back to sparring till it was dinner time. She offered to wash dishes that night and went to work after dinner. As soon as she stepped out the kitchen to head to the barracks, she felt someone grab her. She kicked the assailant away, to no use, as the person pinned her to the wall. She looked up and realized it was chase.
"What are you doing here?! You scared me!" She whispered harshly.
"I came to check on you."
"I'm fine, Chase. You really shouldn't be here. What if you get caught?"
He smirked. "I doubt that. How are you holding up?" He eased his grip on her.
"I feel fine now. I may get a little fatigued every once in awhile, but i can take it."
"Good. You feeling anything else?"
She noticed he was still too close to her.
"I feel like you're invading my personal space." She smirked.
He smiled. "Then do something about it."
She looked away.
"That's what i thought." He cupped her face and kissed her gently. She wrapped around his neck, while he hoisted her up. He broke away, hearing footsteps coming towards them.
"Tomorrow night. Training. Don't be late." He mumbled before disappearing. Stella was still in a daze from their kiss.
"Hey stel. You done washing dishes?" Kimiko said, approaching her. She saw Stella has a weird look on her face.
"You ok?"
Stella snapped into reality. "Huh? Oh..yeah.. I'm fine." She said sheepishly. "I'm still a bit weakened from using all my magic."
"Well let's go. Maybe some more sleep will make you feel better." Kimiko put a hand on her back and walked her to the barracks.
"Yes. I think that's just what i needed." Stella said. She turned and saw chase, perched on one of the rooftops, watching her walk away. His black spiked hair flowed off of him in the wind, making him look dark and sinister. She smiled and kept walking with Kimiko.
