At the end of their training Maka and Devereaux were both laying on the bed, halfway through the training- which was 4 hours long -Maka completely understood Devereaux when he started to speak in his native tongue, and towards the end they tried to power up the second band of wind but it didn't hold for long. Maka got up, went into the shower as Devereaux went out into the living room, and when he looked in the cabinet under the T.V he was surprised a find at least 48 movies varying in genre. There was a short note from Hecta, he pulled all the movies out of the cabinet and set the movies out as Maka walked out of the shower with a bathrobe around herself, and she looked over the movies.

"If you want to watch a movie, choose one." Devereaux told her

Maka smiled slightly as she brushed her bangs to the side, she looked over the movies and ended up picking out a romance movie, and Devereaux guessed that she thought he was going to complain.

"It's your choice this week, it's my choice next week, but you can't complain about my choice." Devereaux replied

Maka nodded her head before she bent over to insert the movie into the movie player, Devereaux could easily see Maka's pink panties, and he quickly looked away.

"So you're a gentleman, but I don't mind too much as long as you don't get any ideas." Maka replied

"I could've guessed since you could've easily crouched down instead, but you decided to flash me with your pretty pink panties." Devereaux laughed as Maka sat down beside him

Maka laid against Devereaux's chest as the movie started, he put his arm around her, and tried his hardest to stay awake. Halfway through the movie Maka paused it and looked at Devereaux who at the moment was fighting to keep his eyes open, but it became a lot easier when Maka kissed his lips. After awhile Maka started the movie up again, Devereaux watched as the girl of the movie started to cry after her boyfriend left her for her friend, and as the movie ended Devereaux was surprised to find that Maka had fallen asleep. He chuckled to himself before he picked her up off the couch, walked into the bedroom and as he tucked her into the bed he suddenly remembered a chant from the book that could help. Devereaux grabbed the book from the coffee table by the door, went into the dojo, and sat in the middle of the room while flipping to a blank book page.

"Masa coonvale." Devereaux whispered

Soon a single symbol appeared on the page, Devereaux took in a deep breath, and quickly started his chant as symbols etched themselves into the floor. He felt his breath get caught in his throat but he continued as the symbols formed the five rings, and soon one by one the symbols all lit up. Devereaux felt the power of the symbols flow through him as the wind picked up around him, he fought to keep conscious as the words he needed formed in his mind, and he quickly voiced.

"Spirits of the ancient winds that once roamed the earth, I call out to you to ask for redemption and please relieve me of my nightmarish plague." Devereaux called out before he passed out

When Maka woke up the next morning she was a little a confused when she noticed that Devereaux wasn't next to her she got of the bed quickly, she pulled on some clothes and looked around the apartment for him. When she found him in the dojo surrounded by a dozen symbols that she still hadn't been able to figure them out when Devereaux sat up she was a little worried about he had been up to after she fell asleep during the movie, but as she got to her knees beside she notice how the etched symbols closest to him were his full name the rest that were closest to him Maka didn't know. She decided to worry about all the symbols later as she helped Devereaux to his feet, as they sat onto the couch Maka noticed that Devereaux looked rested, and she had never seen that in him since she met him but she had feeling that the look would only be temporary.

"What did you do last night?" Maka asked him

"I dispelled the nightmares for a few days." Devereaux replied

"What did Medusa do to you to give you such horrible nightmares?" Maka asked him

"I'll tell you later." Devereaux told her

He was about to get up when he felt Maka hand on his and when he looked into her eyes he knew that she wouldn't tell anyone what he told her, but he just couldn't tell her- that's what he thought.

"Look I want to know, don't I thought you trusted me?" Maka asked him

"I do I just can't tell you, I don't want to ruin your life." Devereaux told her

"Don't you know how much it hurts me to see you in pain from what that bitch did to you, and I want to help you but I can't if I don't know where to start?" Maka asked him

The statement felt like Devereaux's heart being ripped from his chest as how he was acting keeping his past from her, but now he finally noticed that it affected Maka more than it did himself. He held her close as he took in a deep breath.

"I'm sorry I've just never had anyone close enough since Medusa kidnapped me from my world when I was four," Devereaux replied "but that shouldn't be an excuse for what I've done."

Maka smiled slightly as she hugged Devereaux tightly and told him that he didn't have to worry.

"You remind of my m-." Devereaux started before tears started to well in his eyes

Maka held him close as she felt his tears soak her shoulder.

"What was your mom like?" Maka asked him

"I don't know since I never saw her." Devereaux replied

"I'm so sorry." Maka replied

"Don't worry about she died protecting the village, or that's what I've read." Devereaux replied

"What is the other book?" Maka asked him

"It's the book Medusa needs to free the kishin." Devereaux replied
