Daichi's POV

"They say love is manmade, like a blue rose it was made by humans just like the word "love" and it will only bloom when two things are shown, care and a secret ingredient to cultivate each flower." – Canterella

I walked with Laurence and Kasa who both kept a close eye on me, while Laurence just stayed by my side. I was stupid, and defenseless. I wondered why I was so important to him. Death had looked at us and said. "It is obvious now that Darica is out to kill all of your family Daichi. But that is no why you all are here. I have a mission for you." The shock in Laurence's eyes was noticeable as he said. "After this just happened, now?" Death raised a hand to let us know he understood this. "It is about, the man who saved you Daichi. Did you see his eyes?" I remembered them so calm, so handsome. It was transitional starting out almost purple to grey blue. "Yes, they were like." I turned and noticed Laurence's, they were the same exactly. "his." I pointed to my partner who still looked protective over me.

I turned to see a man walk in, Kasa recognized him and said with a burst of joy. "Atros!" Atros was wearing a classy snow white dress shirt with gold buttons and classic black pants! Boy was he neat! Artos was a teacher and I have heard of him before, and he seemed familiar to me. Death turned and said, "Atros I will let you tell these two the rest of the assignment." Atros's raven black hair and grey eyes were so cool and calm, yet strong! He was obviously a weapon. Atros introduced himself to us, his voice was as flowing and fluent like a river. Laurence appeared rebellious and almost refused to even let him talk.

"As you know I am Atros, I am a weapon who will also be your personal tutor." He glanced at me, oh god, did it feel good not to be looked at pervertedly by a guy! I listened quite intently as he continued. "I am also to teach you Laurence how to protect Daichi from Darica's clutches." Laurence said with a growl. "I don'-" He stopped and nodded for him to continue. "Also your mission is to attend a masquerade, where Darica will be rumored to be. We will hide her in plain sight." It was a simple plan, but to capture him it might work! Laurence had no objections either. Atros was looking at me funny, not in the werid like the twins do, or Kasa and not to mention Kage and Shiro sometimes even Laurence. He's acting like he has seen a ghost. He then asked, "what is your middle name might I ask?" I answered. "Daichi Wa Sakura, why?" His eyes went wide and laughed nervously. "Oh nothing, we will began our training a month from now."

"This is Training?" I said while balancing a book on my head. Atros said with one of those "motivating" speeches. "Why yes! A lady must learn how to balance and walk perfectly." I said while falling on my butt. "With heels?" He nodded. "Yes with heals." I got up and said, "and what does this have to do with my weapon training?" He looked at me with an eye brow raised. "Well, if a weapon is balnced physically it'd make it easier to mentally link with your Meister." I then got pumped and put the book back up on my head. "So what is after this?" He did a small smile. "Well, you have to practice linking telepathically." I then blinked my eyes. He continued, "Well when you resonate you have to connect mentally as well as emotions." It made sense and I nodded, it came so natural to me. He clapped, "have you done this before?" I shook my head and he said, "well I'll get Laurence." He turned around and left.

I didn't like being left alone; to be honest I couldn't bare it. I still felt Darica's grip on my arm and the beautiful eyes of him. I stared off into space with Awe. Laurence walked in blinking. "Hey Dirt-head! Snap out of it!" I said, "My name means earth not Dirt!" He did the blah blah sign. I growled and I said. "Sakura Slash!" Hitting him over top of the head he said. "Ow what's your problem?" I growled, "you." Atros, "…." He turned and said, "Well Daichi transform." I did as she said, and Laurence purposely made me fall on the floor. "What was that for!" He replied simply, "no reason." He picked me up and he jumped back. "Ow!" I transformed back and said, "what happen now you broke a nail?" I was so angry, he was always so stupid. I then looked at his hands they were bleeding and had burn marks on him. "Oh my god!" I ran over and I started to tend to his wounds, Atros knew it was going to happen, I could tell that much by the lack of shock in his eyes.

"Laurence, tell me did it hurt?" He nodded Artos said. "Not physically but mentally." Laurence nodded his head again. Atros began to explain, "when a weapon rejects his or her Meister, they reject by making the use feel pain. Sort of like a defense system." I looked Laurence who looked sad, "I'm sorry I was just upset I had no Idea." Laurence smiled, "no I'm sorry, I can't just call you mean nicknames and expect to get away with just because I had a stressful day." I said, "I forgive you, once again I am so sorry." Laurence got up and said with a determined ring in his voice. "Shall we try again?"

I nodded, transforming into my Katana form, he wielded mean and I felt his pain. "Alright, now soul link." I felt our two souls connect and my sword glowed with a brilliant blue color. "So this is your color Laurence?" I felt so powerful, yet I heard all that was on his mind. The pain from his wound stung like a bee. But then he swung me around and hit a boulder and it shattered. Atros looked impressed, "well done that's all for today-" When I transformed back into my human form, Laurence had collapsed in my arms. Atros came up, "he exhausted himself…. But how?" He was heavy, and Atros had helped me bring him back home.

It had been a whole day and Laurence was still asleep, I was so drowsy when I sat next to his bed. I then fell asleep, giving into the dizzy blackness of slumber.

Laurence's POV

Damn it! I couldn't even stay awake! I am so stupid yet I felt like it was okay. But not my own mind someone else's, Daichi? I shouldn't have over trained myself, now I made my partner scared and left alone. Waking up I looked to see Daichi having her head on the side of my bed in a chair sleeping on her arms for pillows. Smiling, she was there for me. I felt so happy yet shameful. I had gotten up and picked her up bridal style, notihng like that though! I guarantee you! Blushing at the denial of my thoughts I walked into her room which had looks on everything, even her desk. Smart girl and pre- wait what? I put her in bed and tucked her in. Sighing she was really an idiot for not getting any sleep.

Walking out I saw Kasa his vision was stern and I felt my face sting with the sound of a slap. "Are you stupid, I told you not to push yourself!" He was worried, my brother was worried for me. He had been the one secretly training me, "if you push yourself to far you'll die! Not to mention, your hands." He grabbed them and they hurt, wincing I snapped back. "and what would you have done? Darica almost took her, and could have killed her I have to try. You wouldn't know what to do except push yourself to the limit to make yourself stronger." Kasa said, "don't follow in my footsteps brother. That's how come my partner- vanished. He was taken by Darica." I turned my eyesight away from him, and said. "Daichi how long was she in there, how long was I asleep?" He said, "The exact same time, since you began sleeping was a day did she finally fall asleep?" The twins looked pervy and I glared at them and they coughed. "Well, on the bright side Kasa, we know his limit." Kiba pointed out, while Tsume said. "And we also know who is starting to become one of us." I looked in horror at what Tsume had said and ran back into my room. Locking the doors, I couldn't help thinking hoe cut she was, but she is my partner. Just my partner.

-? POV

I walked into Shibusen, looking around I had begun to realize I was being followed pulling out my sword I said. "Who's there." Death had walked out and looked at me, "it has been a while since I saw my wife bring someone from the future here." I gained curiosity and said. "What do you about me, and do you know who I am?" He nodded, "but I will call you by your code name, Canterella for now." I chucked a bit. "So you know why I am here then?" He nodded once again and I said. "I am here on a mission, a personal one. To save the princess, to save Daichi before it's too late."
