Author's Note: So here's the second chapter.
Ch.2 – The Broken Seal
Lex had felt strange since the day Yuki had died; he was a lot more jumpy and every little thing seemed to scare him. He was more scared of what was going on around him now then when Raiden had died. Not to mention he was sure he was being watched by multiple people; with different intentions. Only one of his currents stalkers had good intentions and he was pretty sure he knew who it was; although he tried to never act like he knew that said person was there.
As someone the Dura's had always been after as a child he had grown accustom to having stalker's; although the last time this happened and any time before that Raiden had been there to help him. He knew that the stalker's returning probably meant his seal was slowly weakling because of his near death experience. He thought that maybe Luka's healing spell had been the cause of it but he wasn't sure. All he knew was that his seal was definitely breaking which was a very bad thing for him.
He was a human born with the powers of a Dura; which is a very rare occurrence and is lucky to even happen every million years. When he was still in his mother's womb a Dura physically injected it powers in to him so that he could use magic even though his body was still physically human. This would almost always kill the child any other time but for some crazy reason he was that one child that lived. He had been treated as a curse and an unwanted child. It was his fault that his parents had died and he knew it; a Dura had found him and tried to take him away. They tried to get in its way and got killed; quickly after that Raiden had saved Lex from what would have definitely been his demise.
The magic made it so that he had a very alluring scent that made the Dura's naturally drawn to him. It also made it so that if any demon every tried to claim him; that if they succeeded than their magical abilities would reach a higher level than any others; although most Dura's even if they were of a high level couldn't handle it. Lex's power was just too strong for even them to control.
Lex and Raiden had always been together since the day Raiden had saved him. Raiden had lived actually lived with Lex after his parents had been killed off and as a child who had been raised by special priests Raiden could very easily fight off the Dura's. So they created a relationship where; Raiden would protect Lex and Lex would provide Raiden a place to live since the priest that raised him had just died around the same time as Lex's parents. They both bonded over their sadness and loss; not the happiest relationship but it worked; well until Raiden confessed to Lex in middle school.
Lex and Raiden loved each other so much; that when there were Dura's of too high of a level Raiden sacrificed his life to seal Lex. With all of Lex's powers gone the Dura's couldn't find him any longer; but that was probably a good thing since he wasn't in the right condition at the time to protect himself. Not to mention it gave him a chance to try and live a normal life. Something Raiden had always wanted for him; although he hated the idea himself at the time.
With his powers gone his presence was no longer traceable so he had been living a relatively normal life. He had come to enjoy his normal life; although he still missed Raiden a lot. But he knew now that it would soon be ending; the seal Raiden had placed on him at the cost of his own life was breaking and Lex could feel it; every second of the day it felt worse. It was constant; as if someone had a knife stabbed in to his neck and was very slowly pulling it down. It was a dreadful feeling that made him feel like crying; it hurt so bad that he just wanted to beg for the pain to stop. Each day the pain got a little bit worse; making him wonder when the time would come that the seal would finally break.
As the days went on and the seal began to fall apart Lex was regaining small amounts of his powers. He had first noticed this when he accidentally cut one of his classmates well they were fooling around; it wasn't too deep but had he not noticed fast enough it would have probably taken off a few of the kids fingers. Since he had hurt the boy he was being a lot more wary of the other people around him. He was reverting back to when he would avoid everyone but Raiden. Except now he had absolutely no one to rely on; he was completely alone now. Lex had even though about ending it all so the people around him would be safer but he was even too much of a scarredy cat to do that; he was scared because he really didn't want to die.
Lex wasn't too surprised when he collapsed suddenly in pain well walking home; the seal had broken and instantly his entire body had given out. He felt his powers flowing throughout his body. It was so painful and uncomfortable; and his powers were so much stronger now than they had been before. He was in so much pain that he didn't notice anything that was going on around him. So he was really surprised when he felt the presences of a Dura a little ways away. He didn't have anywhere near enough time to react. He was prepared for the attack when suddenly out of nowhere a black blur was between him and his attackers.
He had known from the beginning that one of the presences following him had been Luka, but it still surprised him that the Dura had actually stepped in to the fight. Lex watched Luka fight unable to move; he was completely overwhelmed by his returned abilities.
Luka had been watching the child from a distance since the day Yuki had passed away. As the days had gone by Luka noticed that he was beginning to sense something releasing from the teen; it continued to get more potent as the days went by. It reminded him of a conversation he had with Yuki a couple of weeks ago.
Flash Back
Luka stood by the door of Yuki's room; he had just gone in to grab something before it would be time to head to school. As Yuki exited the room he smiled at Luka, "Do you need a ride?"
Yuki shook his head, "No, I'm going to walk with a friend today."
Luka had been surprised with that; he had always been driving Yuki to school even now that the battle was over, "Are you sure?"
Yuki nodded, "Yeah, I have this strange feeling that something's going to happen to him if I don't walk with him."
Luka nodded and simply said, "Be careful."
Yuki had smiled and moved forward; he connected their lips gently with a smile, "Of course, see you when I get home Luka."
Flash Back End
Luka was sure that Yuki had been referring to this Lex kid now, but he hadn't even noticed the feeling until a few days after he started tailing him. Now though the feeling was almost like the kid was a Dura, but Luka had seen the kid and he knew that he wasn't. He had been sitting on the edge of a building nearby watching when he saw him collapse. He had heard him cry out but still stayed back since he didn't know why. When he saw another Dura he had moved on sheer instinct blocking the creatures attack. The Dura wasn't of an extremely high level; so Luka couldn't even figure out why it had attacked the kid until he turned and caught the smell and presences. He couldn't believe the magical energy he felt dripping from the kid, who was he.
Lex was on his hands and knees trying to suppress his powers before they went out of control. He looked back to see Luka kill the other Dura; when Luka turned and walked over to him instinctively Lex yelled, "Stay back."
Lex felt his consciousness slipping and feared he would soon lose control of his powers. His vision went black as he dropped to the ground.
Luka had heard him yell when he had gone to walk towards him and stopped. Instantly he saw the kid pass out and he felt a burst of wind before there was a red burst of electricity. It wasn't hard for Luka to dodge since it was out of control, but just the sheer power behind the magic was crazy. He quickly made his way to the kid and grabbed him. He flipped him over to try and wake him up and was shocked by the large black tattoo that hadn't been their earlier. After looking at it Luka knew what it was; it was the after effects of a very power sealing spell being broken. The spell to cause it was a forbidden one even for the strongest of Dura's because it not only kills the caster but was very unstable if magic had been cast around it. Luka set his hand against the kid's chest and absorbed a large portion of his magic forcefully. That was the only thing he knew could help him. Once he made sure Lex had control of the magic he picked the kid up and headed back to the mansion to see if the doctor could help him.
Author's Note: So here's chapter 2; god it took me a lot to make this one how I wanted it; I re-wrote this so many times because I just couldn't get it right. So this was the final product and I hope everyone enjoys it.
