Chapter 2:

Getting to know the Name

All of the families that were in the hall left through the big doors and waited in separated masses outside in the institute's courtyard. They talked among themselves as they waited for the new summoner's true and traditional, leave the hall as well. The champions who weren't bound to anyone just broke off to go do their own thing. Those with their summoners, new and old, left the hall to meet the families and friends to most likely spend the rest of the day with them. I watched as the other 7 bound summoners and their champions leave the hall to go join their families and talk all friendly like getting congratulations. I just sighed and started making my way to the doors as well.

I left through the doors and made my way through the crowd, ignoring the angry glares I got from a few families. The others were minding their own business and noticing me only as I got close, moving slightly so that I could pass. I pulled my hood up to just have the hood cuff rest on the top of my head to get the breeze off of my neck.

"That crowd was annoying. At least my day just got a lot better." and I smiled, sliding my hands into my pants pockets again.

I reached the edge of the crowd and sighed as I saw Katarina leaning against a nearby tree. She looked up at me and grinned, boosting off the trunk with her butt and walking towards me. I noticed she swayed her hips whenever she was approaching a man, thinking she could get her way with her looks.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't mister seven." She said putting her hands on her hips.

I just looked around with a sarcastic face on and raised my hands up in a 'what the hell' motion. "Why do people keep saying 'well, well, well.' it's annoying."

"It just fits the situation. Geez, someone's a bit touchy."

I raised my hand to halt any more speech from her at that moment. "What do you want Kat?"

She smiled in a seductive way and almost purred her next words. "I only wish to speak with you in private sometime Fox."

I was confused and raised an eyebrow. "Privately? Were alone right now what're you-" I was cut off as she pointed behind me. I turned around to see the seven champions that were now bound to me all looking at me in different ways. The most disturbing was Diana's pissed glare, which I tried to ignore. "Oh...riiiight...them."

"Yeah, us. What, you already forgot?" said Fizz in an agitated voice.

"If only it were that simple." I muttered under my breath. I turned back to Katarina opening my mouth to respond but was cut off when I felt something cling to my arm and speak for me.

"Speaking privately to Fox is going to be almost impossible since I'm going to be with him all the time," Ahri said through what seemed like an angry grin. "Right Fox?" she then looked up at me with a smile and I just looked at Katarina with a straight face. I could feel Ahri's tails lightly touching my back, oddly it seemed like she was rubbing my back in a way, excitedly. "I'll be quite busy for these first couple of months. So our talk might not happen for a while." I could feel her tails almost immediately calm down and one by one fall back to flow behind Ahri. I took a quick glance at her and saw her looking down almost depressed like, her ears showing her emotion more as they were lowered as well.

"Well that's too bad. Don't worry though, I'll keep an eye on you and we'll have our talk. Bye Fox." She gave almost a girly wave and walked past me, swaying her hips as she strode back to the institute. I sighed again and started walking forward back to my hill to spend the rest of the day relaxing.

"Hey! Rodent!" shouted a voice.

I froze mid-step and clinched my fist. Of all the insults I heard, I only hated this one because it made me seem as if I wasn't human. Degrading. I scowled and turned around to look at my champions and just whispered my response. "Don't...call me that." They all looked at each other and looked confused. Except Diana, she still looked at me as if I just robbed her of something, I ignored her again.

Yasuo just shrugged and answered, "We didn't say anything."

I raised an eyebrow and looked past them to see six summoners looking at me. "Great...them."

My champions followed my gaze and looked at the, then Aatrox looked back at me. "What do they want?"

"And who are they?" Ahri said, gripping my arm a little tighter. I moved her behind me slightly, releasing her hold on my arm and motioned for my other champions to get behind me. Aatrox crossed his arms and Rengar didn't seem to care, just sharpening the prongs on his left hand gauntlet. Diana just kept looking at them, her arms crossed and Yasuo had his left hand on the hilt of his blade, ready to draw it. Fizz moved to my side and set his trident into the ground and leaned against it, not a care in the world. Sona was next to Ahri, looking at the summoners with what seemed like a worried face.

"Those...are some of the Diamond summoners. They're just below the challengers that the Institute sends to the people upstairs, to fight for titles, prizes and are some of the best of the best. They aren't to be taken lightly, because they've almost been here since the Institute started giving people ranks."

Fizz just smiled and seemed to try and pick something out of his teeth, "We're not worried, after seeing you not hold back, I'm sure you can take them down."

"I don't think I could even get a solid hit off of them. If I did, it'd be reeeeally lucky..." I tightened my fists and moved forward to meet them. "Hey, guys, what's up?" I didn't have time to react to the blow to my mid-section, I leaned over in pain and fell to my left knee holding my stomach to try and ease it a little. "That...was a cheap shot." I stood back up and looked over to see the girl that was with them rubbing her hand slightly, looking just as pissed as the rest of them. "Your hand feeling okay there buttercup?" I said with a smirk and I saw the anger boil up as she stepped to take another swing at me, only to be stopped by the man next to her.

"Don't, he's not worth your time or effort." The man looked at me and smiled. He had a good face I guess, for a dude at least. Defined cheek bones, square jaw, and I'm sure those blue eyes and dark brown hair killed the ladies. His slightly yellow stained teeth showed through that disgusting smile, well, at least to someone from the same sex. "It's what he does. He tries to find what makes you mad, or tries to get under your skin, so that you get sloppy and make a slight mistake, that's where he gets you. Like a rodent trying to get itself out of being killed."

"Aren't making you mad and getting under your skin the same thing?" I said with an eyebrow raised.

His smile went from a smile to a line that seemed to hate me even more for some reason, "No, they're just in the same group."

"Same group? Like sayings or...I don't understand your fucked up logic on the English language." The next hit was from my right, I saw the hit coming but, dodging it only gave them a reason to give a follow through. Instead, I just rolled with the punch and felt the cut on my jaw start to bleed again, I stayed hunched over and spit out some blood and looked back at my champions, whom all didn't react to the situation at all, except Yasuo, whom seemed to want to draw his blade, looking at me to give the word, but I just motioned for him to stay back. I noticed the others who were just watching, not showing concern, in fact, Diana looked please by what was happening.

I brought myself back up and looked at the man to my left who was pretty built shake his hand once then rub the knuckles a little bit. He didn't have any distinct features, just a simple heavily built muscled man, scars down his right arm, boring facial features with blonde hair and brown eyes, and a boxers nose showing its clearly been broken in the past. "Only speak when spoken to rodent, or I'll have to beat you so hard your mouth won't be able to speak." His voice was very deep sounding like he took some herbs to make him manlier. Such stupid logic.

"It's not my mouth that speaks, it's my voice. My mouth is just where the words come from. You ever studied the human body? It's an amazing thing, or actually, have you ever studied? You know, opened a book?" His face showing confusion just made insulting him too easy, "A book? B-O-O-K? It's got words and stuff in it, information that helps you learn?" He just looked at his friends for some help and they just looked at me even more angrily, and I just chuckled looking at the guy who was clearly the leader of this group.

"Wow, way to pick your team."

"Shut up, there are obvious reasons why we chose him. He understands how to protect and keep others alive." Said the man in the middle of all of them, arms crossed trying to be scary, which he actually was. His left blue eye and right green eye, the two markings under his left eye and the burn on his right ear are what really showed off his profile. It's rumored that he came from the inner Shadow Isles living on nothing but hardships from a ruined temple and all the suffering souls that raised him. I didn't buy it at the time.

"Whatever. Surely you guys didn't come over here just to get a couple of punches off to make yourselves feel better. What do you want?"

"We came to tell you that just because you barely beat one of our lowest rankers, doesn't mean you're all hot shit. Next time you want to face someone, come to the people who really matter and actually don't need to be bound to a champion to show our true potential." He said, his voice intimidating as it could sound.

"You know who says that kind of stuff? People who aren't good enough to have a champion."

His anger flashed quickly on his face just as he threw a quick right punch near my torso, this time I was ready. I leaned onto my heels to pull my weight back a little bit, over extending his punch which would've surprised him, making him reach out further. As expected, his fist went a little too far to the right, making my block more easy, I brought up my left hand to guide it more to his right, making it miss and go downwards as I brought my right fist up to jab at his face, knowing he'd block it I was already looking down at his feet. The punch at his face already thrown, I began putting my weight back into my left leg and foot, as soon as I felt his hand catch my fist, I'd put my leg into his stance and follow through. I felt my fist make contact with his hand, already my leg in his guard, after blocking with my left hand I brought it back towards his chest, hitting it hard with the outside of my hand, causing his hand guarding his face lower from the blow. I lightly brought my right fist back and threw it again, hitting him in the face, and then using my left hand to shove him away.

His face was filled with anger, but quickly relaxed as he took a deep breath and opened his eyes. His posse looked dumb founded and it was hilarious. They quickly changed their looks to me of pure hatred and started to make their own moves but then I was shocked to see Yasuo next to me, his blade drawn and casually at his side, daring them to make another move. They all cautiously looked at each other and stood still, waiting to see if anyone attacked, only to be addressed by the one I just punched. The leader of the group, whose name still escaped me just nodded and smirked. "Alright, alright. I'll give it to you, you know how to read someone. But I am warning you, we don't like it when one of our members is beaten by someone so low as bronze, so just don't try and get too cocky. We'll be watching."

"And I'll be posing for you creepers." I said shrugging, looking at them all with a smirk of my own.

He smiled and motioned for the rest of his friends to follow him with a whistle. They all turned with looks saying 'I'll kill you next time.' and walked off with whoever he was. I spit again and lifted up my jacket wincing at the pain. Yasuo had sheathed his blade and saw my wounds as well before calling out. "Sona, come here. His wounds look pretty bad." I waved him off, sliding my jacket back down and saw Sona come near me, looking me up and down and bringing her hands up to the cuts on my face. Her being a mute wasn't as strange as I thought, I could almost tell she was saying to not move, so I didn't. She put her right hand on my lower jaw with such softness and care, I could feel myself almost leaning into it, while her other hand rested next to my forehead, her thumb dabbing around the area of the cut above my eye.

Just then, a bright light flashed into my eyes for a brief second, and in that second I saw only Sona in front of me, everything else was white, an oblivion of nothingness. Then I was back to having Yasuo and Ahri watch her observe my wounds while everyone else was doing their own thing. Sona and I looked into each other's eyes, and I knew she saw what I saw.

'What was that?'

My eyes went wide and I jumped back a step or two leaving her hands while yelling "AAAAHHH!" She pulled them back scared and held them close to her chest, looking at me worried.

'Why is he freaking out like that? Did it hurt that much?'

I pointed at her and just kept freaking out. "AH AH AH AH AH, WHAT THE SHIT!?" All of my champions were looking at me with the weirdest faces. I looked around at the rest of them and just kept the dumbass face on with my mouth open, my eyes wide and eyebrows up in a worried expression.

Yasuo spoke up first, "What the hell are you freaking out about?"

Sona's face was just as concerned as she looked at her hands then back up at me. 'Did my hands smell funny? Were they cold?'

I took this as my opportunity and answered Sona's question. "No, they don't smell funny, they were kinda cold, it didn't hurt that much and do you see where I'm going with this?!" I motioned my hands towards Sona, whose eyes widened as I answered the questions she asked in her head. Her hands came up to her mouth and she looked around her worried as if looking for something.

'Oh my gods, that's what that strange flash was? I thought I was crazy and just saw it, but now it meant we can speak to each other now?'

"I guess so." I said and she looked back at me and put her face into her hands. 'This is so strange! This has never really happened before.'

"Well, it's happening now." Fizz just came up and looked at both of us, his eyelids half closed so he looked extremely tired in a way, but he also looked annoyed. "Okay you two, what the hell is going on? It's been a one sided conversation so the rest of us would like to know."

"I don't care either way." Diana said with her arms crossed.

Fizz looked back at her, annoyance still on his face. "Okay gloomy, thanks for the opinion no one asked for."

She scowled down at him and Fizz reacted with a face that mocked hers and then turned back to the both of us. "So, fill us in."

"Uhm, how do I put this, I can hear her thoughts now, like, in my own head."

Fizz cocked his head to the side and seemed to raise one of his eyebrows...if he had any. It was the motion of doing so.

"Ooookay, and do either of you know why you can hear her thoughts now?" Fizz asked.

I looked down at my hands and flexed them a bit, then looked back up at Sona. She was looking at me through her fingers and I just chuckled lightly. "I'm guessing you saw the flash of light as well?"

Sona nodded her head but also spoke to me through her mind. 'I did...I heard you go to the Institutes Library a lot, have you read anything about something like this?'

Her 'voice' inside her head i guess you could say, was very sweet. It was almost quiet but loud in its own way, had a commanding side to it making me listen to her above anything else if she called out to me. It also soothed me, making me feel more at ease in the situation.

I pulled my hand up to scratch my jaw, while I pondered the literature I read on bindings. Let's see...there weren't many books telling too deeply from either side's experiences...but there were some that told about what to do in a situation where if you couldn't perfectly sync up with your champion to get the best connection and have the best reactions, then you needed to sit down and make physical contact in an intimate manner. Remembering this, i raised my head up and looked at Sona.

"I do remember something actually." She brought her hands down and put them around her upper arms as if she was cold.

'Really? What do you think this is?'

"Well, there's a lot to explain but I'll sum it up for you. Uhm, what happened to us was we bonded to uh...to uh certain...level? Yeah, let's go with that. There's the base level of a bond between champion and summoner. That's what we all started at, but the cap? The top level of a bond, it hasn't been recorded yet. I mean, how do you put a cap on how bonded two people are? So, what happened was, Sona, you and I reached a new 'level' of our bonding. We have a deeper connection than the rest of you guys." I motioned with my right hand at the other six that were watching us all with what seemed like an interested face, even Diana. "Now as our bonds grow deeper, we grow stronger as a pair, we get closer and thus, we can connect on different levels than others. The more time we spend with each other...the deeper our bonds get over time...guess that's why the League kinda requires a binding between summoners and champions..."

Aatrox seemed to be thinking of this as well and added in his own thoughts. "That's why the time period is so long for the two to be bound...to get them on a deep level of a connection."

"Has any champion and summoner ever reached the full time limit?" Yasuo added in his thoughts as well.

I gave him a confused expression. "Full time? There is no full time. You're bound until death Yasuo. Well, at least until my death."

"That can be arranged quickly." Diana said, clenching her fists and grinning at me.

I looked over at her and summoned another blue orb to my hand and gave a face of 'Do you really want this to happen again?' She hesitated and relaxed again. "Were gonna get to the reason as to why you hate me, later."

"Okay, since the two are bound until death or, what was it? Challenged by another summoner who is potentially a greater partner for the champion? What's the longest a summoner and champion have been bound?" Yasuo asked again, leaning against the tree that Katarina was leaning on when she was waiting for me.

"From what the book said, it doesn't matter how long you've been bound really. It's a major factor but there are some bound that have been bound for 15 years, I think it's almost safe to say that I could almost beat them with a basic bond with you guys. They just don't care that much anymore. I guess one of the biggest factors are those determined by the summoner and champion."

They all stayed quiet and just stood around while I continued to think. I began walking towards my hill again and slipped my hands into my pocket.

"So, since you and Sona are on a deeper level now from just that simple little touch, what does that mean exactly?" asked Ahri. She ran to my side and had her hands clasped behind her back, looking up at me.

"Well, I guess it means that were stronger together now."

I heard a light laugh and turned my head over my left shoulder to see Diana laughing. I frowned a bit feeling like she was mocking me. "What's so funny?"

She stopped and put her hands on her hips, and I stopped as well not fully trusting her. "That's ridiculous. You really think that just because you two touched in a...a what did you say? Intimate way? That you've got a better 'bond' than the rest of us?" She gave air quotations at the word bond and scoffed when she was done.

"That's exactly what I'm saying. Tomorrow I'm going to the Library to try and find some more books that cover this topic, alright? Geez." I began walking again and felt a small gust, and a light sharp feeling on the back of my neck.

"Then how about we get more intimate rodent?" Diana's cold voice made it sound even more sinister. I shook my head and in a smooth motion that I practiced over and over again, turned around and brought my left foot up, kicking her hand and knocking her blade from it, I jumped slightly and turned in the air to my left, catching the hilt of it and landing on my right foot, swinging with the motion and using my weight, got low and brought the tip of the blade up under her chin. She froze, and I heard two blades being drawn. I looked over to see Rengar and Aatrox both have their main weapons out and ready to fight it seemed.

"Why is it that when I threaten Miss Diana here, that you two get defensive, even if you barely know her, yet, when I was getting hit by the Diamond douche bags, you just stood by and watched?"

"Because I have hunted her and have hunted with her many times, and I have come to respect her greatly as an opponent. If anyone is going to take her as a prize, it shall be me!" Rengar responded first, soon to have Aatrox answer as well. "I feel the same almost except I have plans of my own and her power can become useful."

"And after what I have showed you, at the Bindings and while I had my scruff with the Diamond douches, you don't think I'm worthy of your protection?! Look around! No matter how strong you think I am, there will always be something that I'm scared of! That is what you all are there for now! To help protect me and defeat those who pose a threat to my life!" I threw her blade up and walked over to Aatrox and Rengar. They got into defensive stances and prepared for an attack I wasn't going to throw. I just grabbed the skin near Aatrox's neck and pulled him down to meet my eyes on my level, and spoke my next words with anger. "Now listen you assholes. Since were bound, in a nutshell that means that my bullshit, is your bullshit, and your bullshit, is their bullshit! This isn't a two way street in this binding! You listen to me and we get along just fine! GOT IT!?"

We both just stared at each other and he sent his weapon back to wherever it was he summoned it from. He then nodded and I let him go, looking at Rengar next and glaring at him. He then sheathed his knife and stood up, crossing his arms and giving a grunting growl. I started going through all the thoughts in my head now and began to feel the pain. I looked at the others and just ignored whatever face they were giving me. I changed my course and began walking towards the forest. I needed to clear my head, and get away from them. "Just do whatever until tomorrow, I could give less of a shit, just don't follow me. Meet me at the cherry blossom tree on that hill," I pointed at it which could easily be seen from the front of the Institute. "Be there by noon or something." At that I whispered 'Ghost' and disappeared from their sight.

God I love how many different things you can do with these base spells.

Yasuo

Fox disappeared from my sight, and that is not something this group needed. We needed to stay together and get all of it out in the open, nothing on our minds, they need to be clear. I mustered together quick plans in my head, gripping my blade and looking at the others. Three of us didn't seem fazed. Diana just grinned and turned around, Rengar roared and looked around his surroundings. He seemed to look up at the tree that Fox had motioned towards and simply began walking towards it.

"Rengar, are you going to wait for our summoner?"

He stopped and turned to look at me. He said nothing but growled again and brought his right hand up to hit his left pectoral. "Uhm...I'll take that as a yes." I said and he turned back around and began walking towards the hill again. I looked over at Ahri and Sona, who were talking…to a degree. Sona was more just listening than anything. I looked for Aatrox, but he was with Diana, next to her walking away back towards the Institute. Fizz was just a couple of steps away from me and was looking up at me.

"I don't care how you do it, but get those two to come back here. We all need to be at the tree to wait for Fox." Fizz just smiled and made a mocking salute to me.

"Yes sir Captain." He began jogging after the two and I turned my attention to the two women. As I approached them, they both turned to look at me. I returned the look and looked back towards the forest.

"Yasuo...why did he fly off the edge?" Ahri asked.

"Because...he was left alone when we should've been there to protect him from harm."

"So? One time we didn't protect him because we thought he could do it himself."

"Because trust is earned...and our chances of earning his just went down significantly."

Ahri seemed confused as she looked at Sona, who was just as confused. "What do you mean? Even after he motioned for us not to help."

"No, no, that was just the test before the test. As soon as the first punch was thrown we should've been by his side, ready to do whatever we needed to do. That would've given him the knowing that we are ready to support him. The trust that you're men are ready to die with you instead of caring for themselves...that is the trust he was looking for that we so carelessly threw at his face." I sighed and looked down at my feet and felt a hand on my right shoulder.

"Then maybe we should go find him, and apologize for not being what we should be."

"And what's that Ahri?"

"Champions." I looked up, surprised and we all turned around to see Rengar. He was just standing there and when I opened my mouth to speak, I couldn't muster any words.

"There is no need, I am a hunter but I still respect those that are also hunters and possibly greater than me." Rengar looked at me and stepped closer looking at me in the eyes. "Young warrior, what you say is true. Little huntress, I suggest we take with your plan and find our summoner."

I nodded and pointed at the ground and showed Rengar the print I saw near my foot. "We need to track him. Look, he may be talented in his summoner skills, but I can still see signs of his movements. Knowing your skill set..."

Rengar, kneeled down on his right knee and ran his hand over the print of Fox's foot. He ran the dirt through his thumb and forefinger, sniffed the air, and stood up quickly roaring. "I have caught his scent! Let us Hunt!"

"Wow, you could smell his unique scent that fast? From a patch of dirt?" I said in a somewhat sarcastic tone.

"I wouldn't be the greatest hunter to ever exist if my skills weren't to this highest standard."

"Right...we'll see." I said rolling my eyes. Rengar looked to Ahri and Sona, and reached out grabbing Sona by the waist and lifting her onto his shoulder. She looked as if she wanted to scream but she grabbed onto his mane. Ahri and I looked at each other and shrugged getting ready to follow Rengar.

-Fox

I ended the spell shortly after the tree lines to the opening of the field were behind me. I yelled out in frustration at the receding day, wanting to challenge the sun for its title of grand master of giving life. This day turned to shit, all because of those Diamond League Douche bags. I can't wait to get up there with them and shove all this shit down their throats. I looked out at the three trees that seem to always be in good shape whenever I come to this field, after hours and hours of me pounding and training on them. I don't think I've ever been as pissed off as I am today. Time to get the pain to settle down, so I unzipped my hoodie and threw it aside, took off my plain black shirt as well and threw it aside. I looked down at my bare torso and took note that I was actually starting to tone out a bit, with the show of a little fat, but that's because I've been showing myself the good time at the local mess hall. Gods, I love those tacos.

I charged the three trees, no particular fighting technique in mind, I just needed to unload. I threw my first punch and struck the tree hard, feeling the pain slightly go at ease. The next series of quick punches and elbows made their usual connection and marks in the wood. After ten minutes of my relentless assault on the bark, I took a step back and stood in a new stance I was trying out that was a combination of moves I watched Jarvin and Leona make while testing their equipment. I made two marks with my hands together, as Zed did while preparing himself for a match, then brought both my fists to my side and took two steps towards to the tree on my right, and did a roundhouse kick. I kicked off the tree and swung my weight around to strike the tree across for it with another right kick. As I landed on my left foot, i kicked off of my right and took a strong step forward and punched hard with my right hand. The bark exploded and I left a good dent in the tree, taking a deep breath as well. I finally landed the technique perfectly, and smirked. I prepared myself again and did the move three more times. After the final time, I was dripping with sweat, and looked up at the evening sky that reminded me of orange juice. But it had a deep red color throughout it as if the sky had been pierced and began bleeding a deep red blood.

I closed my eyes and felt a small gentle breeze begin to blow. I held out my arms slightly and opened my hands, letting blood drip from them, the pain in them starting to go away. That was strange, I haven't even applied heal yet. I opened my eyes and brought my hands up observing as a green aura around them healed my wounds. I tilted my head to the right and was slightly confused, but saw the aura trail its way behind me. The trail was very faint but I could see it, and I followed its trail to see Sona, her eyes closed and her hands having a green aura around them, held out towards me. I slowed my pace of breathing down and looked at the three behind her, all looking at me.

I kept a neutral face on and looked at the three of them and walked towards them. I didn't plan on saying anything to them, I was just getting over the anger, and I didn't need it to come back so soon. Just before I stopped in front of them Sona seemed to stop healing me, and opened her eyes, looking up at me. I looked back and forth from the three then looked down at Sona and stared back at her.

'Summoner, were s-' Sona began to think but I held up my hand to stop her.

"Don't." I said, then closed my eyes and shook my head. I walked over to my shirt and hoodie and put them on. After I zipped up my hoodie I walked towards them again. I think it's time they learn I don't care that they didn't help me. They just need to learn how to read a situation. So I'm just going to see if this plays out the way I want it to.

I began walking away to meet the others at the tree I had told them to meet me at. I felt a small tug on my sleeve near my elbow and I stopped. I took a deep breath through my nose loud enough to make it sound like I was irritated. I turned my head over my shoulder to see Ahri holding onto me, her ears drooped as if she was depressed. Her golden eyes were looking up into mine and I couldn't help but soften up a bit, hoping I didn't show that I was. I then remembered that she was exceptional at charming men to do what she wanted but I didn't sense anything coming from her...I love how that works. It's so convenient that her charm doesn't work if the person knows she's using it. My feeling of softening up didn't change...so feeling sorry for her at the moment was just me.

"Summoner...I think I speak for all of us here when I say were sorry...We really should've helped in some way but we just left you to your own bullshit, as you phrased it. Next time, we'll make sure to protect you." Ahri said with what sounded like sincere-ness in her voice. Well, I could only imagine that's what it was. I've never heard what it sounds like, people don't really like me so, and I've got down what anger, irritation, annoyance, frustration, all those hostile hints in someone's voice.

I returned the look into her eyes and searched them for any sarcasm but found none among the sea of gold. God resisting her is just going to be the worst, especially since she's just wanting complete affection from me, or so it seems. I tore away from her gaze and searched the others looks. Yasuo was staring at me with a neutral face, as was Rengar. Sona was looking in the direction of my sparing trees both hands clenched together and her shoulders shaking, yasuo with his left hand on her left shoulder as if comforting her.

I sighed and said nothing, nodding my head towards the tree on the hill, hoping they read it right and started following me. Yasuo nodded as well and lightly tugged on Sona's shoulder, but she didn't budge. He looked at her and went to her front and gave a small surprised face, hiding it quickly. He looked at me quickly and leaned down to her ear and whispered something. Was she crying? I tried to reach out to her mentally, 'Sona, come on. I've got to talk to you guys.'

No response, my mind was silent. Either she was ignoring me or our link somehow was now gone.

I groaned out loud and motioned at Rengar to get Sona onto his shoulder and he nodded. He swept her up quickly and threw her onto his shoulder only to have he give out surprised flails.

'Ah! Why does he do that so randomly?' Sona said.

"Oooooh, so you are ignoring me? You throwing a fit?" I said out loud.

No response again.

"Are you kidding me? Are you having attitude with me?"

No response...again.

"Son of a- I swear to the Gods if you don't-" I began only to be cut off by Yasuo.

"Uh, summoner? I wouldn't go on..."

I looked at him and rolled my eyes, slouching my arms to my side, "Whatever. Let's go."

-Fizz

"Yeah, he can be a dick, so what?" I stated, leaning on my staff again.

"So what? So he's a dick that needs to, you know...stop being a dick." Diana replied, clearly showing her insulting skills.

"Wow, you know, you should leave the verbal insults to those who aren't shitty joke tellers." I replied with a sarcastic face.

"Hey! I know a good joke, okay! I'm fine in that department."

"Oh yeah, the whole moon being too far away thing, real knee slapper. First time I heard it made me want to feed the other team so they could wreck you later."

Diana gasped as if she was shocked that someone didn't find her joke funny.

"What?" I asked.

"People find that joke hilarious!"

"Since when are you counted as a group of people? You're literally the only person that laughs when you tell it."

"But...but," Diana looked over at Aatrox who had his arms crossed and hadn't said a single word since I approached them. "Want to back me up here?"

"Not really. I agree with fish sticks,"

"The names Fizz."

"Whatever, your jokes suck."

Diana gasped again and took a step back.

"You're agreeing with fish sticks?!"

"Names still Fizz."

"Zip it! Since when have you thought this? Certainly not when you first arrived at the league. You laughed at my jokes all the time."

"Since always actually. When I laughed all those times, it wasn't me. I was made to laugh for an unknown reason, even till this day. I have no clue what was so damned funny."

"My joke!" Diana said with a raised voice.

"Not even close." replied Aatrox with an annoyed tone.

"You see Diana we-"

"I SAID SHUT UP FISHSTICKS!"

"Alright, that's it." I jumped up and kicked off my staff, turning and drop kicking her in the face, followed by a quick swipe at her feet as I landed quickly. She landed on her back with a thud. I picked up my trident and pointed my pronged end at her face, daring her to move.

"You see? Don't piss off the Fizz. Now, here's what's going to happen. You, Aatrox and I are going to go back to the tree our beloved summoner has told us to meet him

At, and were going to wait there for him. Then were going to apologize for not defending him when we were suppose too, and were going to follow him from then on out, jumping when he says jump and following him till his final days. Got it?"

Diana just stared at me with a 'mad as fuck at you' face not replying.

Aatrox seemed to have said what I was thinking, "This is the part where you say 'okay Fish sticks' and we go back to our summoner."

I gritted my teeth and pointed my pronged end at Aatrox and spoke through them.

"HEY! Man sized butterfly, call me that again, see what happens..."

Aatrox chuckled a spiteful chuckle and crossed his arms. I glared at him, almost daring him to do what I was pretty sure he wanted to do. "Little one, you don't want to point that at me, because if you do, you wouldn't be able to outlast me." I bared my teeth in a frown and just hated the fact that he was right.

"Yeah, yeah. You, rock worshiper, we straight?"

"It's the moon you over-grown fish!"

"Same thing." I said, jumping off her and watching her sit up, glaring at me.

Aatrox began walking towards the hill after he and I stared at each other for a brief moment. I looked at Diana who stood up, now dusting herself off, and balled her fists when she was done. She followed Aatrox and I sighed and followed her. This team was going to be awesome with so much emotion.

-Fox

I walked with Ahri, Yasuo, and Rengar carrying Sona behind me, towards the cherry blossom tree. I saw Diana, Aatrox and Fizz already there, glad they came and waited so early. As I approached them, they all looked at me and the setting sun made it look like a very peaceful picture, with just the three of them there. I stopped a little ways away from them and motioned for Rengar to let Sona down. He nodded and gently lifted her off his shoulder, and she straightened her dress and wiped away a glimmer of what used to be a tear from under her left eye. I motioned for them to all stand in front of me and they made their way, all turning to face me and waited. I slid my hands into my pocket and looked back at all of them, my thoughts collected and ready to be shared.

I cleared my throat and began my speech to them. "Here's uh...here's what I've been thinking for the past hour or so. First off, I would like to say that the anger I had for you all before is gone. I wasn't mad at you guys for the reason you're probably thinking I was or am. That's what one of the outcomes I hoping you all get from what happens tomorrow. Now, there isn't much left in this day but the plan goes on, tomorrow I need to go to the Institutes library to finish up my research on some things. You all are going to come with me, for the reason that afterwards, were going to the job board for us bound summoners that we get to access now, and find a job to do. This job, is only going to be for one champion at a time though. Why? Simply to get our relationship with each other to be better. Now, when we decide tomorrow who is going to go on the first job with me, then the other six are going to wait, and look for other jobs that they might want to do."

They all continued looking at me, all with neutral faces, except Diana, who was still looking pissy. I sighed at that and rubbed the insides of my eyes frustrated that she was still mad at me for reasons unknown. Sona had her hands behind her back, Ahri holding her upper left arm with her right hand, Yasuo with his left hand resting on his blades hilt while the other fiddled with his bamboo thingy. Rengar just stood there, with Aatrox, arms crossed not really doing anything but listen and Fizz leaning on his staff, now sitting on the ground playing with a tuft of grass passively.

"Now, I'm sure all of you have heard of me at some point, seeing how whatever I do for some reason, is a big deal. But whatever you've heard, is only a fraction, you have heard my name, but you don't truly know it. You know I'm a summoner, you know I'm powerful to an extent, but you don't know me. Not yet at least. Hell, once all of you have done a job with me, you will know my name, the real me. You will know my likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses and everything in-between. That is the situation now, that is the deal." I finished while looking around at all of them.

"Another thing were going to do, which is right now, is get everything on the table. Thoughts, emotions, problems and all the rest of that crap. We need this out of the way and need to get it solved or starting to solve it for the future," I moved my hand around in multiple gestures, then pointed my finger at Diana, "starting with you. You always look so pissed at me, what the hell did I ever do to you?"

We all turned our attention to her and she crossed her arms. Gods, this bunch does that a lot don't they?

"Look, I know of that tattoo on your right arm. It means you're a Solarian and I hate all of them and have made it part of my life to make sure they are never to be put in history again for their crimes to my God, and that includes you."

I sighed again and rolled my eyes. "Okay, let me just tell you all this while we're at it. I woke up with this one day, my memory gone. Yeah, yeah, cliché, I know, but it's true. I woke up with some raggedy clothes, these boots you see I wear now, this tattoo," I rolled up my sleeve to show the others, "and a chain around my neck, or at least half of one. I had no idea what to do, so I just started walking and came across some small village of maybe 30 people up in the mountains by where the Solarians live, and was trying to find out what the hell was going on and why I couldn't remember a damn thing. The elder of the village guided me to the Institute and told me of their vast library that could have answers to what was going on and what these symbols meant." I pointed at the tattoo on my arm. "Only problem was that I wasn't a student there to become a summoner, so I joined and yadee dah, the day of binding came up, were all bound, and the Masters your uncle."

"No he's not." said Fizz.

"Figure of speech and sarcasm. Look em up at the Library tomorrow. Whatever, so now you know, I don't know who I really am or, better yet, who I was. I know who I am, just don't know my past and how I got to be who I was the day I woke up on the mountain. So don't be so pissed because of knowledge I don't yet have."

"So you didn't find anything on the symbols on your arm?" asked Ahri, her tails swaying together in one motion to make it look like it was all one big tail. Gods, how did she look so adorable all the time.

"Nothing. That's one of the things I'm going to the library. There's a book Ryze found about the Solarians history that we couldn't find before that could lead me to some things. Any other questions?"

They were silent for a few moments, then I sighed again and walked closer to them, making my way past Diana and Ahri and sitting down near the tree. I laid onto my back and closed my eyes, pulling my hands up to clasped them together and put them behind my head to comfort it. It felt so good to relax again. "Okay then. Do whatever the hell you want and meet me back here tomorrow morning at like, 9:30. We've got a lot to do."

"Uhm, what're you going to do?" asked Fizz. I could feel their eyes looking at me, questioning the reasons behind me just laying here.

"I'm going to bed. Relaxing. It's what you do after a tiring day."

"Bed? Don't you have a room to sleep in at the board rooms for summoners?" asked Aatrox.

"I don't sleep in my room very often. Don't like the plain shit that's there. Nature is way more calming and less...dramatic. I hate hearing the other summoners in the hallways a shit talking about other summoners and champions, who's hot, who they'd do and all that dumb shit. It gets annoying so, most of the time, I just sleep out here near this tree, enjoying the calm. If you haven't noticed, it's just far away enough to not hear any of the hustle and bustle, and the sun sets just right over the Institutes roof to make it seem like were in the sky."

I hope they were looking at the sunset now, seeing how beautiful it was just as much as I did. I hope I die to a scene like this, complete peace and at ease relaxing.

"Well, aren't we suppose to live with you?" asked Yasuo.

"I don't care what you do or where you live. If we are supposed to live together, it'll be cramped in that tiny room they give to bronze rankers."

I heard sighs, and armor and leather and clothing and stuff move around. I then heard footsteps move away from the hill and called out, "Don't be late tomorrow!" I felt a presence sit next to me at felt the urge to open my eyes. I resisted and just scratched my forehead, then put my hand back into its comfort behind my head. I also heard what sounded like digging, then a stabbing of what sounded like a shovel into the dirt. Again I resisted the urge to open my eyes, and began to really loosen my muscles, fully relaxing.

Finally, the day was done, and now I had the great feeling of having something great to do tomorrow. I just hope what happened with those Diamond rankers isn't going to come bite me in the ass. At least not to quickly when I wasn't properly prepared. And my champions, all seven of them knew that this binding of ours, wasn't as complicated as I'm sure they all thought it was. Now they knew my story, well, how it all started for me, and now we just need to get them to figure out how to read a situation. Hope they read this one at least.

This situation of getting to know my Name.
