Here he is. Stuck in another messed up situation with Kiretta. Why did this always happen to him? Because life is against him. Why else would he be cursed with Krad? Kiretta's second day in their class, after she had managed to smuggle half his sandwich to the other side of the lunch table he had asked her what he did to get stuck with her. She replied with "You did something to make life angry. Now it hates you," Obviously, she must have been right. Over the short period she'd been at the school he'd been outshined in Gym numerous times. He'd been smacked twice, the whole school learned of his job as commander and chief of the police force, and he's earned a new nickname connecting him to a wild berry. Apparently, he did do something to make life angry with him and she was his punishment.

"Well?" She demanded, glaring at him, all hints of her previous panic gone.

"Saehara and Niwa wanted to know if you wish to come down to the beach," He said as if the incident never happened.

"Okay, yes. That does explain why you're here…" She said getting off the bed and snatched the Ecto Teacher's note from his hand. "But why are you in my room?"

"I tried to get your attention!"

"You heard my radio! I have it that loud so I can't hear people! You want to get my attention? THROW SOMETHING AT ME!"

Now that he thought about it. Throwing something at her might have been more affective… and he wouldn't be in this situation. Well, nothing he can do about it now. He looked over at the bed which was still littered with books and paper. Upon seeing the look on Kiretta's face when he turned back to her, he found it wise to drop it and pick it up another time. "Do you want to come down to the beach or not?" He asked instead.

"Fine," She sighed. "Not like I have much else to do,"

**************************************************************

Upon arriving to beach Kiretta helped Daisuke and the Harada's build they're sand castle, taken Takeshi's Camera for taking pictures of innocent people and her, and stolen Satoshi's glasses right off his nose, and was chased around the beach by Takeshi's and the blue berry for about an hour. Now she sat in a tree that Satoshi and Takeshi have yet to figure out how she got there. For there are no foot holds or low hanging branches to climb on.

After a quick scan of her surroundings to make sure neither of the boys were there waiting she jumped out of the tree and wandered off to find a secluded place on the island. Preferably with a significantly large amount of water nearby.

Satoshi, who was sitting behind some bushes a few feet away from Kiretta's hideout, was waiting for Kiretta to get out of the that tree. He didn't need them but he wanted his glasses, and he was damn well going to get them back. He watched her jump from the tree, still a bit cautious. If he came out now she's be ready to run, and from past experience, he knew she was faster then him. She relaxed and began walking deeper into the forest. Just as he was about to get up and follow her, there was a sharp pain in his chest.

*I think it's about time I introduced myself*

Kiretta made it to the edge of the forest. There she found a small stretch of tree less land that gave way to a cliff, and sitting at the edge of the cliff was someone who looked very familiar to her.

"Damien?" The boy turned around.

"Hey, Kiretta," He said as Kiretta sat next to him. "What are you doing here?"

"School trip," At first he looked confused.

"Since when…" The something dawned on him. "That's right, go to school with them," Damien didn't really like non magical people too much. Not since he used a spell in self-defense and they tried to shove him on some traveling magic show.

"Yup. So what about you. Aren't you on va…ca…" Then she seemed to remember she was on an island resort. A perfect vacationing spot. "Never mind…"

"Slow today?"

She nodded. "It seems so…"

"So, you pass?"

She thought. "Pass…" She really is slow today…

"You're stupid,"

"Pass wha- Hey!" She said as she realized she had just been insulted. "I'm not stupid," She muttered.

"Your. Test. Did. You. Pass." He said slowly

"Yes," She said "I am now a summoner, but I don't get my familiar till I get back,"

"How sad," He said not really caring. "Any assignments during your trip?"

She growled quietly. "Yes. I came here to do just that,"

"What'cha got?"

Kiretta took a few papers out of her pocket. "Summoning the power of Undine and Summoning the dead," She read off. "The Summoning of the undead is easier then Undine and it won't attract as much attention," She said folding one of the papers and putting it back in her pocket. "So decaying samurai it is then,"

"That's the easy one," Damien said. "Later you'll have to summon a Lich,"

Kiretta shuddered. I sorcerer who survived his own death. She thought. why? She absolutely hates dead thinks. Although undead summons are the must useful in battle considering they can't be killed again. Grabbing her Amethyst from her pocket she looked at the summoning incantation and stood up. She turned so her back was too the cliff. Holding the amethyst at arms length, she looked down and closed her eyes, and began to mutter in an ancient language thought, by those who study the origin of magic, to be Atlantian.

As she finished the wind began to pick up. When she opened her eyes she saw that dead leaves and grass was swirling about in front of her. The wind got stronger with every passing second until it was as if a mini tornado was spinning before her. Then- nothing. The wind stopped and bits of dead leaves and grass floated gently back down to the ground.

Damien broke down laughing so hard he had to crawl away from the cliff so he didn't fall. Kiretta, however stood there mouth open and eyes wide. "All that drama for NOTHING!?"

"You suck!" Damien said between laughs.

"You shut up," She snapped at him. "It's my first time," She said pouting slightly. Damien is her oldest friend. He helped her when she first came to the school and they later found out they lived next door to each other for four years before he moved. Damien and Jackie are the only ones who know how stupid Kiretta can actually be.

"Interesting trick" Said a voice with… well… an accent. What accent? Who knows?

The wind began to pick up again but it wasn't magic, it was… wings. Kiretta looked back at Damien, who shrugged.

"And you are…?" Kiretta asked as a blond angel of sorts landed in front of them.

He chuckled "I am-"

"I mean like Germen, Russian. What?" She interrupted.

Krad blinked. His shoulders relaxed and his wings drooped as his brain seemed to shut down.

Kiretta, being either brave or curious, took a few steps towards him. "I'm sorry. Was the question too hard?"

Krad sighed and closed his eyes. Intimidation doesn't work on this girl as it should. A sharp whistle brought his attention back to Kiretta who was glaring up at him.

"Are you stu-" She was cut off when he gabbed her by the throat, but no sooner had he grabber her was he forced to let go.

With a cry of pain he released her and she took a few steps back. Curiosity the only thing keeping her from backing away further. Krad's wing had a long gash going down it, but that's not what caught her attention. Standing there, sword ready to strike again was an almost skeletal Samurai. This caused her to grin wildly. "That's my undead samurai," She said happily.

"Celebrate later," She heard Damien say. In honesty she had forgotten he was there. "Let it fight, you come here," He took a talisman (Slip of paper with magical incantation. Used to seal demons and summon higher creatures) out of his pocket and began to chant as Kiretta watched Krad unsheathed a large golden sword. (Yes it is the wedge of time and yes I did fuck up the cycles)

Seeing the sword Kiretta figured it better to let the samurai handle the fight. Just as she was turning to run behind Damien, who was already chanting, she heard a sickening crack and Krad was in front of her. Dammit! She was about to run in another direction when she was grabbed by the throat, again, and hoisted into the air.

"You've gotten too close to him," He growled.

who? OH hell, like it matters, She began to mutter quickly then waved her hand in front of his face. Once her hand was inline with his eyes and blast of light erupted from her palm. Instantly he dropped her and she didn't waste a second in getting out of his reach.

"Arise!" She heard Damien yell.

"Oh shit!" She ran behind him and watched at the spot she was standing in began to distort. There was a flash of light and there stood and Mind Flayer; a summon spirit of higher power with the ability to attack it's opponent mentally.

Being a summon of water attribute it of course looked like a horrible monstrosity of the sea. With a strange squid like head and but the rest of it's body appeared relatively human under the large mage's cloak all Mind Flayers wear. Then again no ones ever seen under to cloak so no one know if it is actually humanoid or not.

Kiretta watched intently. She had never seen a mind flayer actually attack someone. She'd only seen them used to read the minds of unwilling witnesses in magic related crimes and killings. Never had she seen one used in offence.

Krad was had somewhat regained his sight and could only vaguely make out the distorted figure separating him from his target, who was meanwhile, with all her vision, watching intently at the Mind Flayer raised a purple and blue scaly hand and made a strange noise that sounded like a of key whale. It's hand began to glow in a dark purple light. Krad had regained enough of his sight to know that he was in a bad situation. Before he could do much of anything the light abound the Mind Flayers hand pulsated and Kiretta watched in amazement as Krad let lose and scream of pain and collapsed on his knees clutching his head in pain. With in seconds there was a flurry of feathers and the Mind Flayer's hand fell to it's side as it looked back at Damien, obviously confused. Damien simply shrugged.

The feathers died down and there lay an unconscious boy, one who Kiretta recognized instantly. "Blueberry!" She said running over to him.

"Blueberry?" Damien asked, looking at the Mind Flayer who in turn shook it's head. It was confused. Which was something it didn't experience often. For it is very hard to confuse a Mind Flayer, but the brain frequency of his opponent suddenly changed. Brain frequencies don't change!

As the Mind Flayer pondered quietly to itself, Kiretta was looking down at the commander with her hands on her hips. "Well, better get him back to the hotel. Could just call it heat stroke and leave it alone. I don't ask him, he won't ask me," Then she looked over at the pile of bones that was once her samurai. Remembering something she read somewhere she walked over and picked up a random bone, avoiding the skull, hands, and feet. Those where the last things she wanted to keep. "looks like this ones mine. Poor guy. Oh well, I can work on making him stronger some other time,"

She read in one of her text books that when summoning the undead it's best to keep a bone of the first one to come to you because it is most likely the most loyal and most eager to help. They where most likely dedicated warriors in during their lives. Though not always the best. she thought looking at the bone in her hand. But that's nothing a little magic can't fix. Then she turned to Satoshi again. As much as she hated too, she stuck the bone in her pocket, she picked up the commander and, after saying bye to Damien, She made her way through the forest. After telling Daisuke and the others that Satoshi collapsed on heat stroke she was able to get back to the hotel without further questioning. She didn't plan to ask Satoshi about it because the way she saw it; if he explained his little secret she'd owe him an explanation, and she didn't want that.
