Okay so i'm lazy and haven't had much inspiration to write fanfics. decided to update with what i had. it's better than nothing yes?

Umi wandered up to her house and wandered inside. The everyone was gone. She sighed in relief and moved to a soft chair and rested in it after removing her coat and laying it beside the chair on the table there. She shifted to put up her hair in it's pony tail, but there was a knock on the door. She sighed and went to answer it. Seymour was there. She frowned up at him. He was looking at something to the side distractedly.

"I was trying to rest." that caused him to look at the short Guardian.

"Umi?"

"Yes Maester?" Seymour grabbed her hand.

"I am glad to see you back home once more." Umi stared at him and removed her hand gently.

"I was never in any danger.."

"The Fayth have been looking for you."

"They have..." she sighed and turned around to pick up her coat, but found herself hauled out of the house.

"No time little Guardian!" a voice that wasn't Seymour called as it dragged her along. "Seymour you might want to grab that coat!" Umi managed to get her self straight enough to look at the one dragging her.

"Auron what's going on?"

"One of the Terminus Citatio has gone crazy. We need you!"

"Which one has gone crazy?"

"The Al Bhed."

"Allazar?" Auron nodded.

"What's his problem this time?"

"He wants to destroy some of the Maesters."

"What for?"

"He won't say."

"Stupid idiot!" Auron raised an eyebrow at her. Then he noticed she wasn't talking to him. Then he noticed she looked bigger. She was furious. And a furious Umi was a summoned Umi more often than not. It took but a second, but she was in her most powerful form. The demon winged creature. That hadn't been seen by anyone other than Jimka. She took off ahead of Auron and in two bounds, she was out of his sight. He stopped running and looked back to where she had burst into form. Her clothes lay shredded there. Seymour ran up a moment later and looked at what Auron was looking at.

"She transformed?" Auron nodded.

"She's going to need that coat this time..." both began running towards where a loud explosion was heard.

Umi had jumped atop the smaller Terminus Citatio.

"Frana ec Umi?" the smaller said.

"Fryd tu oui lyna?" Umi growled out in a guttural tone. It had many tones underneath it. Feathery light soprano, full of forgiveness. A deep bass, full of malice. A resonating tenor full of contempt. A strong Alto, Umi's own voice. The smaller roared.

"Umi ec seha!" those words angered Umi even further. She leapt upon the smaller and bit him roughly.

"Umi does not belong to you or anyone. Allazar you had better calm down or I'll do it for you.." Auron had arrived just as she had finished talking. He stared at the enormous Aeon towering over what looked to Auron to be Allazar. That must mean Umi was the giant demon creature. Everyone but Jimka was backing away. Jimka walked up and glared at Umi, who just stared down at him in disdain.

"Oh come now dear. You know you can't harm me as much as you want to."

"Oh? Test my patience Jimka."

"You will calm down and let me take you as my wife once and for all. Listen to me I am your summoner!"

"Not anymore.." Jimka had barely a chance to ponder it before a giant paw landed on his back, pinning him to the ground. Umi had placed a rear paw on his back and went back to glaring at the smaller Aeon now cowering before her. "Submit!" the smaller had no reason to fight the larger Aeon as he had been bested by that very Aeon. He shrank and was dragged off by the other guardians and everyone stared in wonder at the enormous Aeon. The Aeon's eyes rolled downward towards the townsfolk and the giant Aeon snorted. The cries of loose Terminus were called out as Seymour arrived.

"Who is the loose Terminus?" all pointed at Umi who snorted. "I am not a loose Terminus. Pray Summoners. One of you is mine. Except Jimka. Get him away from me." Auron stepped forward to pull Jimka away, the summoner unconscious. The summoners and Seymour began to pray. Umi slowly shrank and as she shrank she collapsed to the ground. Seymour ran forward a moment later and tossed her coat over her back, just before all the fur had left her body. He scooped her up and cradled her close to his body, and upon realizing that the coat wasn't quite enough cover for the Aeon against the cold air that bit at everyone handed her to Jonathan and shrugged off his robe to put around her. Jonathan handed her back at his request.

"Seymour... won't you get cold?" Seymour glanced his way.

"It matters not if I get cold." he turned and walked off, tucking the robe around her like a blanket.

Umi awoke later wrapped in her coat and Seymour's robe. She sat up and looked about and slowly sat up. Both her coat and the robe fell from her shoulders but no further. She was in a room she did not recognize. The well decorated room was signifying of a Maester's quarters. She blinked in confusion. She looked at herself, she dressed in a simple, but nice gown, then looked at the robe that had been wrapped around herself.

"Why am I wearing Seymour's robe?" She got up and headed out of the room and started down the most beautiful set of stairs she had ever seen. Standing at the bottom of the stairs was a man with his hair tied in a high ponytail, or what looked like a high ponytail. His hair was dark blue and she blinked. The man didn't look like a Maester so it couldn't have been Seymour. Could it? He wasn't wearing a robe, but just a pair of navy blue pants and shin high black boots. He turned and smiled at her.

"Ah, Umi.. you are awake." Umi blinked and stood at the top of the stairs where she had stopped upon spotting him. She lifted a hand and gathered the robe closer to herself as she stared at him. Was it her imagination or was the man better looking without his shirt? He began to walk up the stairs towards her and she began to back up a bit. He held out a hand as he neared the top of the stairs and she went to remove the robe and he shook his head, she blinked and raised her other hand slightly. He seemed pleased and she blinked and raised her hand to look at it. What did he want with her hand? She reached out and placed her hand on his, his fingers immediately closing around hers. She looked down as he gently drew her forward. "I could get used to seeing you in my robe."

"Uhhmm.. Maester?" she spoke as he drew her even closer to him. "I-is it really right for a Maester to love an abomination?"

"If you are an abomination, then so am I," was his reply as he slipped an arm around her back. She blinked as he released her hand, having pulled her against him, to wrap the other arm around her waist. "Now, what have I said about calling me Maester?"

"But it's not right... I can't call you by your name..." she tried to pull away. "If only you weren't a Maester..." this surprised the man somewhat and he loosened his hold upon her.

"If I weren't a Maester?" she managed to get free of his hold and backed up to go back down the hallway.

"I will not give false hope... not even to myself. A Maester. Cannot. Love. Me." he caught her as she turned away and spun her back around to face him. Catching her when she lost her balance.

"And what if a Maester does..." he drew her close to him again.

"I... I won't! I don't want to!" she tried to pull away again.

"Why?" he tightened his grip.

"I am..."

"You are not an abomination! A Half-Guado is not an abomination!" he cried, "be proud of your heritage!" she blinked at him.

"A Terminus Citatio can never wed.."

"Why not?"

"We're monsters."

"I am your summoner. I will stop you." she blinked at him.

"What if you can't?"

"If I can't I would gladly die."

"M-Maester!" she cried, "You can't!"

"There are too many Maester's here anyhow. Come with me... let us implore the Aeons to release us into Guadosalam, so that we may start afresh. As just a pair of Half-Guado.."

"They need me Seymour..." It was then that he kissed her.

"Then we will stay and I will keep you."

She blinked at him in reply. He gently released her.

"I will let you think about it. But for now, would you like me to walk you home?"

A nod was his only reply. He smiled and pulled her hand onto his arm. She blinked at him. He smiled at her and lead her down the stairs and out the front door.

Umi spent the next few hours making herself some dinner, she was dressed in her guardian clothing as she planned on going out to practice after eating. A moment later a knocking was heard. She furrowed her eyebrows and went to answer the door. She pulled it open to reveal her guardian friend Auron.

"Hey Auron."

"Hello Umi. May I come in?" Umi stepped aside.

"Yeah... sure.."

"Seymour will be here in half an hour. Do you want him to see you like this?" Umi blinked and ran from the room. She didn't want to get caught outside the boundaries of her deal with Seymour so she changed into one of those dresses and robes that were ordered for her.

"Sure knows how to ruin one's alone time does he?" she griped at the guardian after exiting her room while she rolled up her sleeves and continued cooking, this time adding more to the pot of stew she was making.

"He does care about you you know." she turned to stare at him.

"And how do you know Auron?"

"I've heard him talking to your father about you."

"Hmm.." she turned to the food once more and spoke not. The minutes ticked painfully by as dinner cooked until a knock sounded at the door and Auron left to answer it. Umi let out a heavy sigh as she heard Auron talking to Seymour. After a few minutes the sound of booted feet crossed the wooden floor towards the kitchen. She was unable to tell the difference in the sounds of the boots and was puzzling, standing there her hair sloppily tied up, sleeves rolled back, holding a wooden spoon, and brows furrowed, when a red coated pair of arms slipped around her middle. "Auron wh-" she then looked over her shoulder at Seymour's blue lined face and blinked at him a few times.

"Why are you cooking?"

"Because I'm hungry and I have company..." Seymour simply smiled as if he knew something she didn't. Umi raised an eyebrow at his actions. He took the spoon and set it on the counter, then pulled her from the room. "a-ah Auron stir that!" Auron chuckled as Seymour hauled the girl onto the porch.

"How do I look?" Seymour asked. Umi blinked at him. He was wearing clothes like Auron and his hair was tied back.

"Like a guardian..." Umi scratched at her head. "Ah geez I feel like the summoner now..."

"The summoner of my heart."

Umi just blinked in reply and Seymour turned to look at the sunset.

"Look it's beautiful." Umi turned to look at the sunset and silently agreed. Seymour wrapped his arm around her waist. Umi blinked slowly, watching the sun set in it's silent manner.
