Daily Review: "Thoroughly enjoying your story thus far... almost disappointed I did not come across it sooner. As another review previously mentioned, it was a bit confusing when perspectives changed, but I see you've already made the change and it makes for a much easier read. It was entertaining, however, playing detective and trying to determine the speaker through process of elimination! I eagerly await another chapter, whenever you're able to find the time and draw it up for us all 3" – LaughingManKobo
I have read this and have adjusted to it in a way I hope fixed the situation. Thanks again for the reviews everyone. I plan on including a daily review each chapter to give an outlook on my story to all of you who are wondering how the readers are taking it. I will pick ones that are very specific and help me correct mistakes I make, so again, I urge you to be as detailed as you can in your reviews. Peace :D

Chapter 4:
New Looks, Old Habits
-Fox
Holy shit, my head hurt like a bitch. Good Gods, why did it hurt so much? Oh yeah, that's right. I got a nice ass whopping a couple of hours ago. At least I think it was a couple of hours. How would I know, I'm pretty sure I passed out after I told Yasuo to go get his sword's scabbard. I tried to open my eyes and was met with very blurry vision. This was getting annoying, not being able to see clearly whenever I opened my eyes, seriously, I need to see an eye doctor or something. If we even have those here…wherever I was. Where was I?
I blinked a few more times, and like usual, my vision started blearing up. I was in what appeared to be a hospital bed. I looked down to see a blanket covering me, with several chairs around my bed but all empty. The room was empty itself, and that started raising my questions. Have they still not learned? I looked over to my left and saw and bag filled with a clear liquid hanging on a pole next to my bed. Guess that was my medication, and from the two medical books I read or actually remember reading, must be the IV. I looked down at my left hand and saw the needle going into the top of it. I looked down and saw the edges of some bandages on the inside of what I'm guessing is my hospital gown.
I tried to bring my right hand up, only to have severe pain in my shoulder as I tried to move it. I stopped and just grunted while the pain started to subdue. Okay, let's try this again. I brought up my left hand only to have slight pain. I pulled down the collar of my gown and saw multiple wrappings around my stomach and up to my right shoulder. I'm guessing I have a pretty bad cut on my back from those hidden fuckers who couldn't face me head on. I brought my head back down to rest on the pillow and felt a little anxiety. I really hate dark rooms like this, just really creepy…man this next part was going to hurt. I sat up using my back as little as possible to avoid any more pain. I sat up using my stomach and pushing off my left hand, with surprising little pain coming from my shoulder. I pulled the cover off my legs and swung them over the left side of the bed. I scooted myself over and landed on my feet, going down a little from more pain in my left leg. Fuck, they sure did a number on me. I pushed through the slight pain and stood up, and started moving towards the door. I felt the tug of something on my left hand and remembered the IV line. Pulling it out, there was a small spurt of blood and it started to drip. Shit, must've been put in recently. I looked around for some gage tape and saw some on a small table in the corner.
"Wow. That's convenient." I began wrapping my hand sloppily, and bit off the tape finishing up this shit of hand wrapping. I brought my left hand up to under my right arm, near my armpit, holding it, trying to settle the small burning feeling there. I leaned on my left shoulder near the door and look out into the hall. It seemed empty, and I looked to the other side of the hall to be met with the same result. Where the hell were my champions? Wait…Diana! Oh shit, I need to find her, she has to be in one of these rooms as well, so there has to be a patient room listing somewhere.
I opened to door and walked out into the hallway, and turned left, seeing a counter nearby. I approached hoping to find a nurse only to see no one there. I looked around confused, and just shook my head. I looked around some more and saw a clipboard with several names on it. I reached over with my left arm and picked it up after fumbling and dropping it a few times. Finally, I started looking through the names, which were alphabetized.
"Gotta love how organized they are here at hospitals. Now, let's see…Diana…Diana…Ah, here we are room 127." I looked around for the nearest room and saw one, room 113. Sweet, I was close. I began walking down the hall following the numbers and then I heard a faint moan. I stopped and looked around for where it could've come from and then heard it again. I kept walking trying to find the sound and it was getting loader. Someone was having a good time, and I was just hoping it wasn't who I thought it was. I came up on room 120 and saw that the door was slightly ajar. I lightly pushed it open and saw a dimmed light behind a curtain which was drawn back. I took light steps trying to not disturb which for sure two people was getting laid, hearing the moans becoming more and more consistent.
I whispered the incantation for the alteration of 'ghost' so I disappeared. I walked past the curtain and saw what I thought was there. Ahri was on her back, legs wrapped around the waist of the guy that was pounding on her. The guy had on what looked like a male nurse's outfit, so that's probably the guy who was supposed to be watch the front desk. I looked down at the ground next to the bed and saw his pants and under garments along with what looked like Ahri's skirt she decided to wear that day. I looked back up at them, which I kind of regret, but seeing the guy's ass start moving faster just made me want to vomit. Her tails were cushioning her more around her head and back, while her hands were holding onto him in different places. Her right hand was grabbing his shirt and holding him in place while her left hand was on the back of his neck. She was moaning more and more and I just rolled my eyes and began walking out. I heard her start to get loader and looked over my right shoulder to see her muffle herself as she seemed to climax. I took out my summoner's orb and did another familiar motion with my hands to record what they were doing, both audio and visibly, so I could use this against her in the future in case she tried something to get what she wanted. I shook my head again and pushed the door open, making an obvious sound so to let them know it's time to wrap it up. I made a small comment at the end then finished the recording, and repeated the motion with my hands making the orb disappear again. I turned to the right and continued to walk down the hall until I finally came up to room 127.
I looked inside to see another curtain drawn, expecting the worst. I pulled down on the lever type knob the hospital doors had, and pulled the door open and walked in. With my slight limp I walked up to the curtain and drew it back with my left hand, and saw a scene that made my racing heart slow down to a pace that was better for my condition. Diana was there, sound asleep with and IV line going into her left hand as well. Seems we've gotten a few of the same injuries, but she looked in better shape than I did. I smirked and sighed, finding a nearby chair and pulling it to the right side of her bed. I sat down slowly again trying to avoid any pain in my right shoulder.
"Gods, you seven just don't get it yet do you?" I said to no one in particular.
The next few hours seemed to pass by quickly. I just sat there staring at Diana, watching over her. Eventually these idiots will find me and that's when I'll hit em hard with some serious guilt trip shit. It's getting into their thick heads one way or another. You don't leave my side unless I tell you otherwise. The reasons behind this, I will reveal to them once on our jobs we'll take. Well, while I was waiting even longer, looking out the window to see the dark sky dim its way into a more alive color, I decided to collect my thoughts and meditate a bit. My physical training wasn't my only way to get rid of this itch, but it for sure wasn't as satisfying. I feel like a vampire or something.
I sat up straight and moved my right hand slowly to my abdominal area, to meet my left hand and brought them together as if I was praying. I folded my index fingers in and pointed my thumbs towards me, and closed my eyes. In this state I focused all my collected thoughts into a nothingness, where I imagined opponents of different variations and began doing moves that I've already practiced. I began running through the moves and felt that itch that I get start to slowly go away.
It must've been awhile because when I opened my eyes, Diana was sitting up and staring at me. I looked over to the window and saw the sun just above the horizon. As I turned my attention back at her, I looked down at her hands as they mimicked what mine were. I smiled and she smirked back.
"You don't know why I do that with my hands do you?"
She shook her head and looked down at them. "No, I don't."
I chuckled and undid my symbol. I tried to stretch my right arm but was only met by more immediate pain, and I cringed. I felt a hand behind me gently grab under my right arm near my armpit, and another near my back. I didn't need to turn around to know whose hands they were.
'Summoner, please don't try to move your right arm so much. I'm still trying to heal it.' Spoke the sweet voice of Sona in my head. Gods, I actually love the sound of her voice up here.
'…you do?'
Oh shit, I forgot she could hear that. 'Uhm, yeah I do. It soothes me.' I spoke specifically to her. I turned my head to look at her and saw that she was blushing, and trying to avoid my gaze. I saw the rest of my champions behind her, all looking at me. I could feel how ashamed some of them could be, then again I was guessing.
"So, how do you feel?" asked Ahri. Ooooh the plans I had for this.
"Oh, you know. Just perfect. Hey, do any of you know what it feels like to get the shit beat out of you, have internal bleeding I'm guessing, and then wake up a day later in the middle of the night with none of the people who are supposed to be there by your side whenever you need them because you're bound to them?"
Silence. Nothing from any of them, but then again they couldn't really help it. They were being held out by a barrier. I sighed and tried to stand up. Sona was there for support but it wasn't enough when I almost fell over to my left, my leg almost giving out on me. I felt another set of hands catch me under my left arm and I looked over to see Yasuo. His face was filled with concern now as he look down at my leg.
"Summoner, you shouldn't be walking with that badly injured leg." Yasuo said and I just chuckled.
"Oh man, ya think?"
"Yes, that's why I stated it out loud."
"Oh my Gods, you need to learn what sarcasm is." I said. I looked up to Diana to see her hands out towards me as if she tried to catch me as well. I looked at her eyes and she looked down at her hands, then pulled them back almost knowing what I was thinking.
"What're you doing up and moving about anyway man?" said Fizz who was leaning against his staff near the door. Does he ever let go of that thing?
"Well, I care for you guys and remembered Diana and I's fight, so I was worried she was doing worse than I was. Couldn't just sit there and hope for the best, I had to know, and if it came down to it, I would start healing her. But she's fine so, I stayed until she woke up so she wouldn't have the feeling of not having someone watch over her." I looked over to her and smirked. "Must be nice."
"Summoner, we haven't left your side this entire time." Said Aatrox, arms folded and leaning against the wall.
"Really? Then how could I wake up, pull the IV from my hand, stitch it up in a shitty manner might I add, try and find a nurse or something to help me find Diana's room only to be met by no one at the counter," I could hear Ahri shift uncomfortably in her spot where she stood and her ears fall down in a sad manner. "Look at the list, find her room and watch over her for the rest of the night?"
"Because you have been out so long that we all needed a break from watching over you." Aatrox spoke on all their behalves again.
"Wait, what do you mean I've been out for so long?"
"Summoner," Diana spoke up, "it's been a week since our fight."
I raised an eyebrow at her and looked around at the rest of them. "A week? I've been out cold for an entire week?"
Rengar stepped forward and nodded. "Yes young hunter. We haven't left your room for all those days."
"Well, to be more specific, we all took turns while the others went out and got food and stuff. Except for Sona, she was at your bed side every moment, trying to heal your wounds more." Fizz spoke up this time, opening my eyes more and more. "Yasuo came in and out of your room, but was always on guard, either at the door on the outside or on the inside. And whenever a doctor came in, Yasuo and Sona made sure they were giving you the right treatment." I looked from Yasuo to Sona and they avoided my gaze.
"I didn't put anything else up to chance, didn't know if those masked men were going to send in a fake to try and poison you further."
Wait, what? "Further? What do you mean further?"
"The blades that we were cut with had a special poison on them that was supposed to collapse our lungs within a day, but the doctors and Sona caught onto it quick enough and healed us." Diana explained to me.
Okay, so they did get the picture. Great. That's the first step.
"But about Sona not being there when you woke up, I had finally convinced them that they needed to take a break and just take care of themselves for once. Figured it wouldn't hurt since they'd watched over you so much already." Said Fizz again. Guess he was sensing my view and taking the blame for it. Admirable.
I sighed and nodded my head, noticing the bed next to me in the dark. I motioned my head towards it and Yasuo nodded and started moving me towards it. They laid me down gently, Ahri coming over and using her tails to cushion me as I rolled over onto my back.
"Hey Fizz." I said.
"Sup?"
"What's 80 plus 40?"
"Uhm…120. Why?"
I looked over at Ahri and saw her face show no change. In fact her eyes looked at mine with confusion in them as she tilted her head to the side slightly. "Just wondering. Hey Ahri, can you go get the nurse guy to come here?"
"Whatever you need summoner." She walked out of the room and I looked over at Fizz and motioned with my hand to have him close the door. He nodded and Aatrox stood in front of it.
I raised my eyebrows in surprise and I nodded my head in approval. "Nice touch. Okay, nobody ask, but I need Fizz in on what I'm about to unfold. Come here Fizz." He walked over smiling and rubbing his hands together in an evil way.
"Sweet. Whatcha got for me?"
I whispered the situation I saw in the room with Ahri and the male nurse avoiding the details and just skipped to the part where I wanted him to help make jokes at the two when they came in. He just laughed and held his fist up at me when I finished.
"Consider it my pleasure." And with that I fist bumped him and looked around to see the rest of my champions confused. I smirked and motioned with my hand towards Aatrox to move away from the door. "Don't worry, you guys should catch on after a few jokes have been made." He took a couple of steps away so Ahri could walk back in with the nurse.
A few moments later they did and she seemed to just finish chuckling something. It was exactly the same guy I saw and I looked at Fizz quickly and smiled, nodding in confirmation that it was him. Ahri returned her attention to me and I got the best neutral face that I could.
"This him?" I asked.
"It is summoner. He's not the doctor overlooking your care but he is almost done with his healing school."
"How do you know so much about him Ahri?" I asked. Keeping my serious face.
"I've made sure to do some thorough research on him." She responded.
"Yes sir. I have nothing to hide from her."
"Oh, were sure about that." Said Fizz his arms crossed and a serious face on, no indication of messing with her. Ahri's left ear twitched towards his direction and her smile faltered slightly. I was smiling in my head knowing she might be smart enough to start catching on now.
"Okay, have any of my other champions checked into you?" I asked towards the nurse.
Before he could answer me Fizz was already on it. "Ahri volunteered her full attention. We trusted her to do the right thing but I guess she 'DID' something else." Putting more emphasis on 'did' to make it sound more accusingly.
"Did 'someone' else." Aatrox added in. I stifled a chuckle and snorted slightly through my nose, the corner of my mouth twitching from the laughter trying to escape. Aatrox catching on made this so much funnier. Ahri's right ear twitched this time from when Aatrox commented on the conversation. She started to squint at me. I know she's got to be catching on now. The nurse guy seemed to be a little more confused but he was looking around at my champions. It was time for me to drive this home.
"Okay, I'll trust her judgment. Last question, have you worked her long? HERE long?" I corrected myself quickly after I messed up my joke. Well, I guess it could work for my purpose.
The nurse guy raised an eyebrow and just looked over at Ahri who was now fully blushing and had her left hand over her eyes and shaking her head. Her ears were all the way down and her tails were moving between her and the nurse guy to hide from him I'm guessing.
The nurse guy finally answered without a smile on this time. "Yeah, I have."
"Oh, we're sure you did." Said Aatrox, arms still crossed and leaning against the wall.
"Unless he pulled out of it too soon." Fizz wrapped it up with a comment that I'm sure Ahri wanted to just kill us three for. The nurse guy looked back at Fizz, seeming to know what we were talking about finally and just raised his hands up to deny it, looking worried from where I sat.
"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, Ahri and I didn't do that!"
Now I was really going to fuck with him. "What're you talking about?" I asked? Fizz seemed to catch on just as fast and added in.
"Yeah man, were just talking about your job here. What the hell are you talking about?"
"Uhm, I just got it, but aren't you guys talking about…what Ahri and I-" he was about to finish his death sentence but Ahri tried to save him by cutting him off.
"No! Don't say anything!" she said but it was too late. I pulled out my summoner's orb which had the recording on it from a few hours ago. I found it and played it, looking at Ahri in the eyes and smirking. I was sending her a message while the two moaned together and you could easily hear the hospital bed moving rapidly. She looked back at me and seemed to receive it, dropping her ears down lower and her tails drooped to the floor.
'This is why we won't have a strong bond in the way you want. I won't become another statistic to you.'
That was what I hope she got from our stare down as the recording finished. I did the motion with my hands and made the orb go back into my hidden pocket. Don't really know where the orb goes, it just finds a place.
"Uhm, I don't know…what you want me to say." The nurse guy said. He didn't have a name tag on so I'm just going to keep calling him that.
"You don't have to say anything. Ahri is a full grown woman-fox whom can do whatever she want with whomever she wants. She can do whoever she wants, but this wasn't meant only to embarrass the shit out of her, it was also to send her a message and teach her something."
He looked down at his feet and then looked over at Ahri who herself was just looking down at the ground in shame it seemed. "I'm uh…I'm just going to go get your doctor." He said then left the room quickly, avoiding eye contact with my champions.
"No one ask why I did that. Ahri, Yasuo and I are the only ones that need to know. Ahri, sorry for doing that to you."
She didn't say anything, just looked up to me through saddened eyes and held my gaze for a short while. Then she left without saying a word. As the door closed behind her, Fizz burst out laughing and I couldn't bring myself to laugh. I just watched the door, thinking she was going to come back in with a smile but she didn't. Then I looked over at Aatrox who seemed to be watching my actions and almost reading my thoughts. But he couldn't, right? We haven't bonded yet…have we?
'I don't think so.' Said the familiar sound of Sona's thoughts. I've still got to get used to that.
'Same here.' Dammit, okay, all thoughts can be heard by Sona. I'll find something to block certain things from her, things that I might not know that she might come to know.
'Like what?'
'You know, you don't have to comment on every thought I have Sona. Sometimes it's nice to talk to yourself in your own head.' I said this time directly to her.
'Yeah, it is nice sometimes. I would know. I'll only respond when asked to respond summoner.'
'No, Sona, its fine just respond to ones you think I'm not mulling over or thinking to myself. I do it a lot so get used to finding the right thoughts to answer to or add in your own, ok?'
She nodded and smiled. 'Okay Summoner.'
"Summoner?" Spoke Aatrox. I turned my attention back to him. "Yeah?"
"As much fun as doing that to Ahri was, next time you should handle it amongst yourselves. Even though you are our bound summoner, we are champions, not your everyday tool to use however you see fit."
I remained silent for a while. I don't know why I just needed the question to float in the air for a minute to let it sink in. "I understand that you all are my champions now, but there is one thing you all need to learn while with me. This actually IS a two way street. I was wrong before, saying that your problems aren't mine. They are, and I'm fully ready to help you guys whenever I need too, but that means this whole tool thing you just referenced is also vice versa. I was simply showing Ahri that I won't turn out like that nurse guy, I won't be just another statistic to her and won't allow her to use me." They were all quiet and just looking at me, seeming to try and understand to the fullest extent of what I was saying.
I sighed and proceeded. "Look, all I'm saying is whatever I do guys, it has a purpose or a lesson. For the most part. I won't ever have all the answers to any situation but that's what I've been trying to teach you all that you finally seem to start understanding." I finished and felt a pain in my right side, slightly cringing at it. Sona came to the right side of my bed and gently lifted my arm, Yasuo stayed at my left looking concerned but not doing anything. She placed her right hand onto my ribs and closed her eyes.
'What're you do-' I began to ask but she cut me off.
'Shush.'
'Oookay.'
"And what's that young hunter?" asked Rengar
"What's what?" I asked back.
"What is it that you are trying to teach us?" finished Diana.
"Oh, right. Well, I won't say just yet, but the way you guys react to me and stuff like that, I'm starting to see what I've been wanting you to see as well. So, when you finally get it, tell me."
They seemed to start thinking right away, except Aatrox, who continued to watch me. "I feel as if I'm on the verge of this lesson, but it still eludes me."
I chuckled and winced as Sona pressed somewhere else on my ribs. The pain was starting to go away but it was still faint. "That's good. Now, help me get up again, and Aatrox, open the door."
They all moved towards me slightly except Diana, who moved a hand towards me. Was that really all she could do?
"Why summoner?" asked Yasuo, holding me under my left arm as I began to move.
"I need to go find Ahri and talk with her. Alone."
"We aren't going to leave your side, even with Ahri." Said Yasuo.
"I'm not asking. Just get my doctor, whoever they are, and have them move me to this room. I'll find Ahri and talk with her. Probably do something stupid in the process but when have I ever done something smart?"
"But-" Yasuo began but I just looked at him with a stern eye and he shut up. He bowed his head a little and finished helping me up. "Yes summoner, it'll be done."
"Great. And Sona," I turned my head over my right shoulder to look back at her and she looked back at me, both her hands on the spot where I just laid. "Great healing there. My side feels better now." I smiled and walked out of the room. It was then that I felt the cold surface of the tiled floor. Wait, where were my boots? I started looking around but obviously didn't see them.
'SONA!?' I yelled out in my head.
She came to the door frame with an impressive speed and looked me up and down with worried eyes. 'What is it summoner?'
'Where are my boots?!'
She looked as if to sigh, placing her left hand over her chest. Wow, she had a big chest.
'Uhm, thanks? Oh right! Thinking to yourself.' She responded.
Shit, I really have to get used to this sharing thoughts thing.
'Your boots are in your room. Why?'
I gave a relieved face and just waved her off. 'I was just wondering. Thanks.' At that I turned and walked up to the counter where there was finally someone attending it.
"Excuse me?" I asked. The nurse looked up at me with her brown eyes and even though they were dull, they were still alluring along with her other beautiful features. Her dark brown hair was up in a ponytail and she had what looked like a mark on her collar bone, but I couldn't tell what it was exactly.
"Yes?" she responded.
"You didn't happen to see a nine tailed fox woman walk, run or slightly walk by at a fastened pace did you?"
"Oh, yes. The champion Ahri correct?"
"Yes, that would be whom I'm looking for."
She chuckled and pointed down the hall behind me. "Yeah, I saw her go that way, and my coworker here followed her."
I narrowed my eyes and brought my eyebrows together in an annoyed face. "Uhm….do you know why?"
"Not really. But he hasn't been able to stop talking about Ahri since my shift started two hours ago. It's gotten annoying but I think he cares a lot about her."
"Mhm. Okay, thank you miss."
"No problem."
I turned around and began walking down the hall looking at the signs to see if there was an obvious place for a possibly crying Ahri to go. I looked up and saw the sign with arrows pointing down different halls at where the Cafeteria was, more rooms, more rooms, then noticed the one that pointed at a stairwell towards the roof. I raised an eyebrow and walked towards it. If I was a distraught fox who needed to be left alone or possibly alone with another man that would be the place to go.
-Ahri
I hurried out of Fox's room and tried hard to hold back my tears of embarrassment. I can't believe he'd do that to me. Honestly, I already have the rumors of me sleeping with any guy I could charm but I didn't need my fellow bound champions making assumptions. I only charm certain men, sometimes woman, so I can get their soul essence. Gods, why was Fox being so cruel to me? If only he'd known the things I learned by fucking these men at the hospital, he'd regret doing that to me. Or maybe not. I don't know, he was an asshole so much of the time!
I turned the corner wanting to just get outside, I needed some air. I heard rushed footsteps behind me, guessing it was a doctor in a rush towards another patient's room, so I took a quick right towards a stairwell and climbed them. I didn't really count how many floors I climbed but it couldn't have been too many because I reached the roof in under 30 seconds.
I opened the door and a nice breeze hit my face and I closed my eyes enjoying its comforting feeling. It's been a while since I've been somewhere so relaxed, ever since the night I slept next to Fox. Gosh, I just don't know what it is about him that I can't resist. Maybe it's his hair or his eyes or his dark skin tone. He wasn't the best looking man I've ever seen but still, he wasn't that bad to look at either. It definitely wasn't his personality. No, Fox is certainly as asshole, and didn't know how to treat the ladies such as myself. I've come onto him a lot, even tried to charm him that morning on the hill but he is one stubborn bastard.
I walked over to the nearby railing and leaned against it, overlooking the courtyard of the Institute. Just a week ago, Fox was down there with Diana, fighting for what seemed like their lives. It felt terrible being on the other side of the barrier not being able to help Fox fight. I heard the door behind me open and opened my eyes shocked, hoping it was Fox. I turned around quickly to confront him only to see the male nurse I had bedded the night Fox went missing from his room only to be found meditating or something, next to Diana.
"Ahri, are you okay? Did he hurt you?" He asked right off the bat.
"I'm okay. And no, he didn't hurt me. Not physically anyway. He sure hurt my pride and emotional side." I responded while crossing my arms. My tails were moving around behind me almost excited. Sometimes it was hard to control showing my emotion with my damned tails.
He sighed and gave a relieved expression, putting his hand on his chest. He kinda looked feminine. I actually had sex with this guy? Oh well, at least he wasn't that bad. He then looked at me and smiled, moving towards me. He wasn't very good at flirting was he?
"That's good. I just couldn't deal with the thought that he had done something to you."
I smiled back and kinda felt like stealing some more essence. I lifted my right hand up and used my index finger to tell him to come closer to me as seductive as I could. He smiled and came to me eagerly. The day I can do this to Fox will be a victory. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I moved up to his neck just under his chin, kissing it gently. I held the kiss for a couple of seconds making the charm stronger than I usually do. Then I began pulling away slowly drawing out the essence of him while doing so. To be honest, I always felt like a vampire when I did this, except I was drinking in them and not just what's running through their bloodstream. I could hear him moan lightly and I smirked in success. That was the usual sound I got from men when stealing their essence. I don't know why it felt good to them but I wasn't complaining, it felt even better to me, this aura type thing going into me. The closest thing I could relate it to was a light trickle of water going down my throat.
"Well doesn't that look pleasant?" A voice came out from behind the male nurse. He didn't move because he was in so much bliss from my charm but I broke it off from shock, which in turn made him look down at me and noticing me looking behind him, turned as well. There stood Fox, leaning against the frame of the entrance to the roof. He held his right ribs with his left hand and my first reaction was annoyance. He didn't look that hurt from my view and I think he was playing us to make us feel bad.
"Hey, if you don't mind, Ahri came up here to be left alone." The male nurse said. Why was he speaking for me? Does he really think we are going to be a thing? I rolled my eyes and twitched one of my ears in irritation.
"Then why are you up here tough guy?" Fox responded. He is such a smartass.
"Well, I came to comfort her. I'm sure she needed someone to make her feel better from the humiliation that you put her through in Ms. Diana's room." The male nurse said. Wow, this guy is just making it too easy for Fox isn't he?
"So, she came up here to be alone, yet, you followed her so that she wasn't alone? Am I saying that right?"
"Well, when you say it, it sounds-" The male nurse began to defend his reasoning but Fox cut him off.
"Right? I know, I do that a lot."
The male nurse's face started to look frustrated and he took a step towards Fox, balling his fist. That was going to be a mistake and I know it.
"Alright asshole, don't make me come over there and teach you a lesson." The male nurse said. I knew he was going to do something stupid, I just didn't know he would do something this stupid.
Fox laughed and shook his head, then looked back at the male nurse with a smile. "Okay so, here's how this is going to turn out. After this explanation, I'm going to make some comment that's going to really piss you off. That's when you'll slur some half thought up insult and rush me and try to land a punch. I'm going to dodge constantly while warning you that if you don't stop I'm going to have to hurt you. Of course you've got to defend your pride since you can't land a punch on me so you're going to throw another punch which I will then turn on you and put you in a position that you will hate me for and have your pride once again, permanently damaged. I will make a small deal with you, which you won't want to make then you will. I'll let you go, you'll leave and hate this day of every year for the rest of your life." Fox finished up and the male nurse and I just looked at each other with a look that said, 'He's got that all planned out?'
"Now, are you sure you want to go through that, or do you want to keep most of your pride intact and just leave at the lady's request?" Fox motioned with his left hand towards me and the male nurse looked at me for confirmation. I looked over at Fox and stared at him to see if he was really capable of doing any combat in his shape, but from his past fights that I've observed, I don't doubt he could just throw this guy to the side.
"Do you want me to leave? I'm sure I could take him down in a couple of hits easily. He's not in the mood to fight. Or the shape to fight either." The male nurse asked me. Why don't I know this guy's name? I'm sure he's told me several times. I shook my head and put my left hand onto his chest, which was pretty stiff from his muscles, and damn were they nice.
"No no, don't fight. He's right, you would go down in a heartbeat, and I don't want to see you put down like that." I said leaning closer and seeing him pull in closer as well, his lips wanting to meet mine.
"She used Charm there." Fox said in a cocky tone. I stomped my foot on the ground and looked over at him in an angry glare. How the fuck did he know when I used charm?
"That's it!" The male nurse said in an angry tone, and ran at Fox.
"No, don't!" I said out loud. I looked over at Fox and he smirked, standing up right and balled up his left fist. He then shrugged and said "Well, I already told you how this would've happened. I'll just end this now." I took a step forward and had on a worried face for both of them. I knew that if Fox fought right now, he would just further injure himself. I saw Fox look over at me and his facial expression changed to a neutral one. Did he notice my motion towards to two of them? I looked down at his fist and saw it relax, I looked back up at his face and saw it relax as well while looking at me. We made eye contact and it almost felt like he was reading my mind.
Fox looked back at the male nurse and accepted the right punch to his left cheek, his head jerking to the right and he fell to his right knee. His left hand caught the door frame so he didn't fall any further and his breathing pace picked up. I gasped and rushed over to him.
I don't know what it is about Fox but I can't stand seeing him get hurt.
-Fox
Gods, the things I do for my champions. That punch actually hurt like a bitch but I could tell from the way Ahri reacted to my readiness to put this guy in his place. So like a good summoner, I think, I had her best interests in mind and she seemed to like this guy to an extent so I just let the guy hit me. I wiped my mouth with my left hand and looked at it to see a smear of blood. I rolled my eyes and looked over my left shoulder to see Ahri running towards us. I then looked at the male nurse and he had on a face of shock which quickly turned to a face of victory.
"Punched like a bitch! All that big talk and you can't even back it up." He said with a cocky edge to his voice. I saw Ahri come up behind him and I was sure she was going to wrap her arms around him like a damsel in distress did to her hero but whatever. I started standing up and felt hands suddenly on me. One on my left pectoral and another on my right shoulder. I looked back at the scene and saw Ahri using herself to cover me.
"Don't touch him again!" She said loudly. I was honestly shocked at her reaction to the situation. I looked at her through wide eyes and she looked back at me and we held that gaze for a few seconds. She smiled at me and I gave a neutral look back.
"Why are you defending this asshole? Don't you hate him?" The male nurse asked in a confused tone.
I perked up to listen to her answer and Ahri didn't even look back at the guy. We just held our gaze as she answered him. "I don't know and I don't care. He's my summoner and I don't want to see him in pain." She smiled bigger showing her beautifully white teeth and moved her left hand up to the side of my face, placing it gently on my right cheek. I leaned into it feeling the softness and kept my gaze with her.
We both heard a sigh and I saw a hand put onto her left shoulder. "Then what about us Ahri?" The male nurse asked. She broke our gaze and looked at his hand.
"What about us? All I see is that you punched my extremely injured summoner and you talked down to him like you were the biggest jackass on the planet. What I know is that you will never get the pleasure of my company alone again. Now, get your hand off me before I give you a burn degree that doesn't exist yet." The nurse guy quickly took his hand back and looked at us with a saddened face. It quickly turned to a face of anger and as he stepped past us to go back down he mumbled under his breath.
"Whatever. You were loose anyway."
At that, I stood up, turned towards him and held out my left hand. "Hey," I called out. He turned towards me and I whispered an ignite spell. A fireball quickly charged up in my hand and I pointed it down towards his crotch. The fireball shot out fast before he could react and it slammed into his member, catching the fabric around it on fire and sending him down the stairs. He screamed out in pain and patted at his member to put the flames out quickly. "Good luck getting some with a first degree burn scab on the tip."
"You psychopath! What the hell is wrong with you?!" He yelled at me.
"Me? Nothing. You on the other hand, have a burned dick."
He groaned in pain and walked down the stairs holding his burned area and we could hear him moaning in pain for a while. After it became silent, I leaned back against the frame of the door and held my right side again. I didn't want to look at Ahri because I knew she was going to have a smug look on her face. But as usual, I had to know something that I didn't and looked at her. She had her right hand on her hip and had that hip pointed outwards. She was looking at me in the eyes and had a smirk on. Dammit! I just had to look.
"You care about me." She said with a cocky tone. Why does everyone feel so cocky today?
"Yup. Is that bad?"
She took a closer step and ran her right forefinger down my chest slowly, brought it back up and flattened her hand at my chest again. "You want me all for yourself don't you?"
I rolled my eyes and shook my head. "Nope. I just came up here to find you and when I did, I was going to apologize to you."
She moved in a little closer and I pulled my head back a little as she moved hers closer to mine. "You know, I can think of a great way for you to apologize."
"Yeah I'm sure. So, here's what I'm thinking. Go ahead and think of whatever you want from me as an apology, take your time, and tell me. But use it wisely, because you'll only get one shot and I'm not kidding. You won't get to reword it, you won't get a second chance. Once you say it, it is set in stone and I WILL try to work around it to fit me best. Got it?" I said with a stern voice.
She placed her index finger on her chin and looked up as if thinking hard and moved in closer. She then smiled a big grinning smile and looked back up at me, and I knew I was going to regret this.
"You are going to love the way you apologize. Eventually you will anyway." She said as if reading my mind.
"Okay then. Well, it's time I get back to my room. All this moving around has made me tired. Help me down?"
She held her smile and nodded. She moved to my left side and slid my left arm over her shoulder holding my left hand with her left hand and wrapping her right arm around my waist. I could feel her tails wrap around me as well. Gods they were extremely soft. As we made it back to my floor the pain in my right shoulder slowly started coming back. We took it slow to my new room with Diana and saw Yasuo talking with a woman in a nurse's outfit that looked a lot like a champion. As we got closer the nurse noticed us and her look caught Yasuo's attention. He looked back at us and moved quickly to my left side to take Ahri's place. She did a small growl and looked at him with an angry look, refusing to move. Yasuo just looked at me and I did my best to shrug.
"Sorry man, she was there first." After I said that he stepped aside and we moved into the room. There was a doctor next to Diana's bed as she had her legs over the side. They turned to look at me and the doctor looked familiar to me but I couldn't place the face. She had dark red hair with freckles over her cheek and nose. Her cheek bones weren't that defined but her green eyes and more pink than usual lips are what drew attention. Her body was impressive as well, her breasts being pretty big but about the same size as Ahri's. My heartbeat sped up and I could feel my face grow hotter. I'm glad that my skin color didn't show me blushing.
She smiled and motioned at my legs. "I can see you're feeling good enough to be up and about. But how is your shoulder feeling?" She asked.
I swallowed hard and found it hard to speak. "Uh, yeah. The pain is starting to slowly come back and my ribs still ache but other than that, my leg isn't hurting too much."
"That's great. You're a fast healer to be honest, even with your champion healing your wounds slowly once a day. We didn't expect you to wake up for another 3 days but here you are. You're a trooper there Mr." she looked down at her board and seemed to find what she was looking for. "Ah! Mr. Lunester. Wow, that sounds familiar, where are you from?"
I did my best to shrug again and just looked over at my bed, tapping Ahri on the shoulder to have her move me there. "That's the thing, I don't know. But since it sounds familiar to you, what does it remind you of?"
She came to my bedside and helped me sit back onto the bed. "Well, from some of the summoners I've heard come in here talking about the backgrounds of other champions, I think some of them mentioned lunar temples and what not. Anyway, that was one of the names they said was on some old scrolls they turned into the Library."
"WHAT?!" Diana and I said at the same time, looking at the doctor. I held up my hand at Diana to be quiet.
"You heard my exact last name on a scroll from a lunar temple from some summoners? Are you actually serious?" The nurse looked from me to Diana then back at me.
"Uh, yes. Why? Wait, you really don't know who you are?" The Doctor asked.
"Well with this lead, I'm going to need to get out of here as soon as possible. Doctor, how soon until Diana is up and about, free to leave?"
"That's what I came to check today. She has also healed at the same rate as you, and with her injuries nowhere close to what you received, she only has to be in here one more day. I'll clear her tomorrow." I looked over at Diana and she looked back and nodded.
"What about me Mrs…?" I asked open ended so that I could find out if she was married or not.
She chuckled and shook her head. "I'm not married Mr. Lunester. But I am free next Wednesday." She said bluntly and up forward.
My eyes went open with shock and I raised an eyebrow. I could tell my other champions stopped what they were doing and looked at her just as shocked.
"Uhm, what?" said Ahri.
"Follow up question, uhm, what?" Said Diana.
"Really? You just up front ask me out on a date?" I said, confronting the elephant in the room.
She just shrugged and kept her look at me. "I don't know if it's just you Mr. Lunester but I feel like I've seen you somewhere before. That's why I took you in as a patient, I recognized your last name and had to see you to see if any memories come back. So far, nothing but your face does ring a bell to an extent."
I squinted my eyes in disbelief but when I looked around, they all had faces with confusion. "Wait, are you serious?"
"Oh, I don't lie. Never liked being lied to so I don't lie to others. I'm also up front, as you can tell, that's why all the other doctors want me to give their patients bad news. Ask the nurses at the counter." She finished up and looked down at her clipboard.
"Uhm, okay. I actually will." I looked over at Ahri quickly whose tails were extremely puffed up, and her Fox ears pointed back. Holy shit, she was mad at this doctor for coming onto me so strongly. Oh ho ho, I'm going to milk this.
"Alright, I'll see you in a few hours Mr. Lunester. Until then you just keep resting up and think about my offer." She winked and turned to leave but I stopped her.
"Actually, if I'm up and about by then, I wouldn't mind relaxing on Wednesday with ya. I kinda recognize your face as well so might as well hear your full story. Might shed some light on who I am too." I said with a smile and she nodded and smiled back.
"Great, it's a date then. Still, I'll see you in a few hours to check you out, CHECK IN ON YOU!" She tried to correct herself at the last second. I raised an eyebrow and her face started to go red. "I'm uh, just going to check in on some other patients. Uh, yeah see you in a few hours." She left the room and I just stared at the door for a while. Then I looked over at Diana who had her arms crossed and glaring at the door. Holy shit was she jealous too?! She didn't even like me! I looked over at Ahri and her tails were still puffed up with her ears back. Oh my Gods I've never imagined Ahri and Diana getting this mad at a woman for asking me out.
"So…that was different." Fizz said from his chair. I didn't really know he was there for the whole thing but it doesn't matter.
"Yeah…hey Aatrox, I'm going to need your help with some research." Said Ahri as she walked towards him. He must've just arrived because he certainly wasn't here before. That and the fact that he was walking through the door as Ahri said that to him. "Sure. I can feel your rage young one. What has made you feel the sweet bliss of anger?"
I didn't hear what her response was but Aatrox seemed to chuckle a bit. I looked over at Diana and saw that her hands had balled into fists. I needed to diffuse this bomb before it went off in the wrong way.
"Hey Diana, look at me." I said. She held her angry gaze on the door for a while but turned her head to look at me.
"What the fuck was that?" she asked me.
"Human nature, what's it matter to you?" I asked, my eyelids down half way so I'm sure it made me look like I was tired but it was a carefree look. She seemed to notice something, and looked back down at her fists and un-balled them quickly. She looked back at me and shrugged.
"It doesn't. I'm just curious is all?"
"Mhm, I'm sure. Alright, I'm going to call Sona in here and have her start her healing on my ribs and shoulder again. While she's focusing on that you and I can try and sync together again. I need to figure out how to do so, before the summoner evaluation."
She tilted her head to the side slightly and gave a confused look. "Summoner evaluations?"
I nodded as I called out to Sona to come into the room through my mind. "Yeah, it's exactly what it sounds like. In a couple of months, all the summoner's that are bound to a champion are to go to the Institute and show their progress to the Elders and the Master. I was taught this in my very last summoner class just in case I was bound." She nodded her head in understanding and stood up walking over to my bed side. She pulled up one of the chairs in the room and sat down. Sona came in a few seconds later in her usual summoned attire. The only thing different was her hair which was in one pony tail instead of her usual two.
"Did you have a match today?" I asked her out loud and she nodded. She pulled up another chair that was in the room to the right side of my bed and sat in it.
'Now, why am I doing another healing session so soon?' She asked. Gods, this voice of hers is so soothing.
'I need to get out of this hospital as soon as I can. My doctor said that, or more indicated that with more healing per day, I should be out of here by Wednesday.'
'Oh, okay. I've already been doing it twice a day but I'm ready to use more energy to heal you if need be.'
'Awesome. Let's bump it up to four times a day, each session being half an hour long or so. That should easily get me off bed rest and able to leave the hospital in maybe three days. Sound good?'
She nodded her head and looked at Diana, who messing with a strand of her hair that fell out of place. I already knew she was questioning why she was sitting next to me and I just shrugged. I went through the last 15 minutes of events in the room and Sona gave the same reaction: confusion and a slight sense of anger. She hid it well but I could feel anger in her thoughts.
'How sweet. Alright, just lift up your elbow a little bit so I have some room to work on your ribs.'
I lifted my right hand onto my lap and lifted my right elbow, wincing a bit at the pain. It was still there, but bearable. She placed her hands gently on my ribs and closed her eyes to focus, as a green aura around her hands began to glow.
I looked over at Diana and saw her hands in the same formation that I had when I meditated on the night I snuck into her room. I looked up at her and she seemed to understand my question before I could ask it.
"I think that we need to try and recreate what happened the moment we first synced. That might be the first step into how to do it again." I nodded my head and thought of how we could do that.
"Good thinking. I'm sure if we can sync again that we can keep doing it more and more with ease. So yeah, let me explain exactly what it is that I was doing." So for the next 10 minutes, I talked to her and tried my best to explain how to pull all your thoughts together and just let everything go at the same time, picturing you're in an empty room. But I was stumped on how we could share this process so that we were thinking together as if sharing a mind. Then a thought came to me. "I have an idea. Here, sit in front of me."
She nodded and stood up. I crossed my legs so she had somewhere to sit and then she sat down. I made the symbol with my hands and motioned with my head for her to do the same. When he fingers were in the right place and in her lap and explained my idea. "Now, you were right about recreating the moment of our bond deepening and us syncing for the first time. I explained my meditation and how I did it, which you understand right?" She nodded her head in confirmation and I continued. "Okay, so that works great for just one person but I don't know how to get it so that we can do it and have each other there doing our own thing. So, I want our minds to be as close as possible and then when we enter our minds state, let's just see if we can get them to sync again and possibly train. Whatever though, let's just try it."
I leaned forward and she did the same, and we slowly kept going until the middle of our foreheads were together. We then both closed our eyes and I began to bring together my thoughts into a blackness of nothingness. After I was done, I imagined myself in my old clothes before the fight between the masked figures and just waited. I looked around and didn't see anything except for my ghost foes that I created out of habit to train on.
"Summoner, I see nothing but other champions that I've fought against. I don't even see you." Said Diana. I thought impatiently at what could be a solution to syncing like this. I couldn't come up with anything and I was getting frustrated so I lost control of my thoughts and let them blow out like I wasn't supposed to. I pulled away and opened my eyes.
"Son of a bitch. I hate being clueless like this. None of the summoner books I could get my hands on explained anything like this. Gods this is so frustrating." I looked up at Diana and she was still leaned forward, eyes closed and hands in position. I smiled and wondered if anyone who had watched me do this wondered if I was completely relaxed. "Soothing, isn't it Diana?"
"It is. It makes me question my attack tactics and I think I just came up with a new version of a move I do constantly." She said in a hushed tone. She was surprisingly adapting to this mind state of mine well. I didn't think she would pick up on its usefulness this quickly. Diana stayed this way until Sona had let her healing settle down for the session and opened her eyes pulling her hands back to her lap. She looked at me and smiled and I smiled back.
'It's been 30 minutes already?'
She nodded eagerly and looked at me with happy eyes. 'Yes summoner! Your wounds heal very fast, I'm quite shocked. Already, the bruising on your ribs are almost completely gone. One more session and I should have them healed. Your shoulder will take a few sessions but we'll get there when we get there.'
'Great! But before we get to my shoulder, I want you to work on my knee so I can get up and move around without feeling helpless. Okay?'
'Of coarse summoner. I'm going to go get something to eat from the cafeteria. Would you like me to bring you something?'
I thought about it and I could really go for a taco but I'm sure my really hot doctor wouldn't want me eating stuff I don't necessarily need to eat right now. I looked over at Sona to answer and she had on a new facial expression, one of annoyance where the eye lids came down to the halfway mark so it made the person look tired. That's the face she had on right now. I forgot she could hear my thoughts and remembered my remark on me saying my doctor was hot and she probably heard that. Was she jealous too? What the fuck?
'Uhm, I wouldn't mind any food or drinks. Just be sure to ask my doctor what would be good for me to have.' I responded and she didn't say anything back. Just stood up and moved the chair back against the wall in an angry manner, and left. Sheesh, what whiners. I looked back at Diana who was still in the mind state or appeared to be. So I decided to join her and brought my thoughts back together again, bringing up the ghosts of my past sparring partners and began to go through motions of moves again. It must've been a while and the line at the cafeteria must've been long when I finally left the mind state and came back to reality. I opened my eyes to Aatrox, Ahri and Yasuo near the door, Fizz was sitting on Diana's bed, Diana still in front of me in her mind state and my Doctor, whose name I still don't have, on the left side of my bed getting her stethoscope ready. Sona wasn't here and neither was Rengar which was weird because I haven't seen him for hours.
"Hey, sleepy head's back. How you feeling?" She said as she put the stethoscope's hearing portion into her ears and she placed her right hand onto my left shoulder and used left hand to bring the other end of the stethoscope to the middle of my chest underneath my gown. Fuck this thing was cold!
"Uhm, I feel great. Sona did a healing session on my ribs and said that they were almost completely healed which is good. By the way, where is Sona?" I asked my champions except for Diana who seemed to still be in her mind state.
"She and Rengar went to the cafeteria a while ago. Rengar said he didn't think any of the food they were serving had enough meat on the bones so he brought his own game I guess and had them prepare it for you. Sona has to stay there and make sure Rengar doesn't kill one of the chefs if they cook it wrong or not the way Rengar wants it cooked." Explained Fizz, still holding onto his trident. He really didn't seem to ever let that thing out of his sight.
"Ah, okay."
"Breathe in." My doctor instructed. I took a breath. "Hold it." She instructed again and I obeyed. "Now let it out." And again I followed her instructions. She moved it over to my right ribs and we repeated the process. "Good, good." She said as she moved over to the right side of my bed. I noticed in the corner of my eye Ahri tapping her foot on the ground, and I'm guessing she was glaring at the doctor again.
"Now, I'm going to lift up your gown and feel around your ribs and I want you to tell me the levels of pain of where I apply pressure from one to five. Five being extreme pain and one being now pain at all."
"You got it." She started pressing gently on my ribs and I started listing of ones and twos. She finished up there with a smile and pulled my gown back down.
"Very nice. Sona did great on healing those bad boys. She's right, one more session of healing on those and they'll be good to go. Then I'm guessing you guys are going to start healing your leg and shoulder?" I nodded in confirmation and smiled.
"Yup. Leg first though so I can get back to walking and get the hell out of this hospital."
"Hopefully not away from me though." My doctor said and winked again. She picked up her clip board and clicked her pen, writing something down that I couldn't see. I looked past my doctor while she was writing and saw Ahri's tails puff up again and take a step forward, but Aatrox just put his left hand onto her shoulder and held her there, making sure she didn't do anything stupid.
"Alright. You're good for the night. You rest up well tonight and I'll see you tomorrow afternoon." She smiled that beautifully bright white smile at me and I returned my own.
"I'm looking forward to it Ms..?" I asked again trying to get her name.
"Bella Flare." She said and turned around and left the room. Ahri watched her the entire way with what I'm sure was a death glare.
"I don't like her." She said.
"Why? Because she caught Fox's eye faster than you could say the words 'Love me summoner!'?" Said Yasuo. I didn't think he had the smartass in him but damn that was a good one. Fizz laughed hard at what Yasuo said and Ahri turned her death glare at both of them.
"Shut the fuck up! I don't like her because she's too forward. No woman is like that. We like to tease men into wanting us slowly." She responded.
"Is that what you do?" asked Aatrox, letting Ahri's shoulder go.
"Of course."
"Must be why she's losing to Ms. Flare." Yasuo retorted again. Damn, that was another good one. Fizz laughed again and wiped under his right eye like he laughed so hard he cried. "Oh man, two and oh!"
Ahri shot them both another death glare and I couldn't help but laugh. Then I turned my attention to Diana who hadn't moved for what I guessed hours. I tapped her right shoulder with my left hand and she fell forward, face first onto my dick. I grunted from the impact and leaned forward. She didn't hit it that hard but the soft taps were the most painful ones. Good Gods why the hell did she fall onto my crotch?!
"Diana, what the he-" I stopped when I heard her breathe out a sleeping sigh. I went quiet and just looked down at her. Guess I forgot how to teach her how to leave the mind state, but then again it's not that hard. She must've exhausted herself in her own mind of training and fell asleep. I placed my left hand onto the back of her head, moved her face to the side so her face, specifically her mouth, wasn't two fabrics away from my crotch. I started to slowly stoke her hair. She was really cute when she slept soundly. I heard Ahri gasp and walk up to the left side of my bed.
"Why does she get to sleep in your lap?!" She said placing both her hands near my left leg and looking at me with saddened and confused eyes.
"Do you want to wake up someone with the Title 'Scorn of the moon'?" I responded without looking at her. She opened her mouth to respond but didn't say anything knowing I was right in a sense. So she just walked over to the line of chairs against the wall and sat in one crossing her arms. I kept stroking Diana's hair, closed my eyes and began humming a tune that I don't know where I heard it, it was just there in my head. No one spoke for a while and we all just stayed in the silence except for my humming. After a while the door opened and Sona walked in with Rengar behind her pushing a giant cart with food on it. In the middle was a cooked something, steaming and different fruits and vegetables around it.
"Whoa. Who ordered a buffet with a hawkler as the main course?" Asked Fizz in a hushed tone.
'I'm sorry summoner. I would've been here sooner but Rengar insisted that we get you a proper meal.'
Rengar pounded his chest plate and roared a small roar. "I couldn't let you eat that disgusting catch young hunter! You are healing and only the best game can be given to you then! It was all I could hunt on such a small notice but it is a great catch." He said in a loud tone. Diana stirred slightly and moved her hands into different positions. Her right hand wrapped around to behind me and her left hand moved up to just under my right knee. She nestled her head a little more into my lap and I cringed from a tickling sensation in my crotch area. I brought my left index finger up to my mouth to shush him.
"Quiet there man. I don't want Diana waking up and punching my dick or something." I said and Rengar looked at Diana and turned to close the door behind him quietly.
"My apologies young hunter. But please, eat. You need some of this food to help you heal. This young huntress said so specifically." He motioned towards Sona and she was already putting some of the meat, fruits and vegetables on a plate. She looked at Rengar and smiled.
'Tell him I said thank you and that everyone else can eat as well.' I smiled and accepted the plate of food, relying the message to everyone else. They generously accepted the food and we all ate together. Ahri tried to feed me several times and I just responded the same each time, with me putting my own food into my mouth. She kept rolling her eyes and putting the spoonful of food in her mouth. Once we all had finished, I gave my plate to Sona and thanked her and Rengar both. She nodded and he pounded his chest again, opening his maw to roar but Fizz interrupted him for me.
"Lion cub, if you roar one more time, I'm throwing my trident at you." Rengar looked over at him and growled a menacing growl.
"Call me that again and I will have your skull on my trophy wall next to the place Kha'zix's head is to go."
They glared at each other for a while but Aatrox stood in between them and made them quit. I looked at him and nodded in approval. He looked back at me and nodded as well. "I have figured out what you have been trying to teach us and have been applying it as best as I can."
"Good. That just means six more to go."
At that I moved Diana's right hand from behind me and laid back, putting my head onto my pillow and looked out the window. I hadn't noticed that the sun had already set and the night had taken over in the sky. I looked at Sona and spoke out to her. "Sona, I'm going to sleep now. I would like for you to finish up my ribs tonight so that we can get to my leg right away tomorrow." I said it out loud so my champions knew as well as her.
She nodded and motioned for Rengar to take the cart back to where he brought it from with all the dirty dishes on it. "Yes young huntress. Yasuo, help me take this back to that disappointing cafeteria." Rengar said. Yasuo looked at me like I was the boss. Oh wait, I kind of was. But for something like this he didn't need my approval.
"You're a free man Yasuo. You don't need me saying its okay for you to do everything." He nodded and grabbed the other end of the cart and helped push it out the door. Sona brought another chair to the right side of my bed and I lifted my right elbow again. It was getting easier and easier to move without pain. She lightly placed her hands on my ribs and they began to glow again as she went to work. I closed my eyes and placed my left hand onto Diana's upper back and let the darkness of my mind embrace me.
-Diana
The mental clock in my head seemed to knock me out of the blackness of the mind state that I went into when Fox and I tried to work out re-syncing. I was extremely comfortable where I was and my head seemed to be in the nook of something, whatever it was being extremely soft. I opened my eyes and felt the moons serene touch on my skin and I brought my head up to look out the window. There, just above the edge of the earth was the beautiful moon. Its silver surface shined down on me and I could feel the power in my veins flowing and I smiled. Then I looked at my bed to the right, my bed that was now occupied by a Fish sleeping next to his trident. And next to him was the warrior Yasuo, legs apart almost as if he was criss cross but the bottom of each of his feet were against each other. His arms were folded and his head down in his collar cape thing that came up to his chin when his head was upright. He was sleeping as well. If they were in my bed then I was where?
I looked back to where I was laying and saw Fox sound asleep, head tilted to the side facing towards Sona whom was sleeping in her arms, crossed and laid next to Fox and I. I saw his upper half which meant…oh no. I looked down at where my head was and saw that I was sleeping on his lap. Oh dammit…did I fall asleep while in the Mind State Fox taught me? Wait, he never taught me how to get out of it. Dammit! I brought myself up quickly onto my hands and was about to get off of him but I looked at Fox's sound sleeping face again and just looked at him. What was it about this summoner that made me so obedient to him, made me not want to hate him the way I used to so strongly? Why did I not want to see him in pain and only want him to be safe?
"Curse these confusing feelings! Why is it suddenly so hard to not like you?!" I said quietly to myself.
"That's a question we ask ourselves as well." Came a voice behind me. I turned quickly to the voice and put myself between it and Fox. I saw two sets of eyes looking at me. One set glowing a piercing red and the other was blue and yellow, the left eye being yellow, each set of eyes on either side of the doorway. I knew who it was but the moonlight only lit up a slanted part of their torsos, while their upper necks, face, and legs were hidden in the darkness. I sighed and relaxed again.
"Do not worry young huntress. We do not need as much sleep as the rest of you so we guard you all while you do so." Said Rengar.
"That's not what I'm worried about." I said, hopefully letting them get the message that I didn't want them repeating what I just said.
"We won't let our summoner know what you have said. That is for you two to figure out, as it is for all of us to figure out with him." Said Aatrox. I always wondered how old he was, since he spoke in a way of old language.
"Good." I said. I then looked back at Fox and watched him sleep more, the air going in through his nose and out of his mouth. As I continued to watch him sleep, some strands of my hair fell over my right shoulder but I didn't care right now.
"Your bed seems to have been taken young one. Seeing as how it is the middle of the night, I do not see it wise to wake them. You might as well get comfortable next to our summoner." Spoke Aatrox once more.
I shook my head and motioned towards the chair next to Rengar. "I'll just sleep the rest of the night next to Rengar." At that, they both looked straight at me, while Aatrox opened the door without a sound and Rengar grabbed the chair and lightly threw it out into the hall.
"Hey!" I protested quietly.
"What chair?" Aatrox said closing the door again. They both crossed their arms and watched for me to make my move. I glared at them and looked back at Fox again. I looked at them one more time before I turned my back at them and laid next to Fox. I didn't want to face them because I knew I would get made and eventually strike at them, which would wake everyone up. I laid there looking up at Fox for a while and I don't know when but I eventually drifted back off into darkness.
-Fox
The next morning I woke up with Diana laid out fully next to me, and a few moments after I woke while Sona and I examined my ribs, Diana awoke as well. I looked over at her but didn't question her as too why she was sleeping next to me instead of on top of me. Does it mean she woke up and chose to reposition herself closer to me? Whatever. Aatrox and Rengar were already up, standing next to the door and as soon as I was groggy enough to look at them and smile with a greeting, "Morning generals. Anything happen on the battlefield last night?" My sarcasm seemed to confuse them as they looked at each other then back at me.
"What battlefield summoner?" Asked Aatrox.
I face palmed and forgot they don't fully understand sarcasm yet. "Sarcasm guys. Just sarcasm."
"I don't know what battlefield 'Sarcasm is but I want to go to it and hunt!" said Rengar, still not getting what the word itself was. Gosh I was going to have to go far to explain this to them.
"Never mind Rengar." I said. After that lovely conversation of ours, Aatrox took a couple of steps towards Yasuo and he lightly shook him. Yasuo brought his head up and looked at me, then Aatrox. He unfolded his legs, stood up and stretched. I looked back at Diana and she rubbed her eyes in a cute way and swung her legs back over the edge of the bed and stood up as well. She walked over to her bed and pulled Fizz out of it. He woke up as he began to fall and didn't have time to react and catch himself so he fell to the ground with a grunt. Diana stepped over him and sat down in her bed.
"What the hell Diana. You could've woke me up in a better manner and asked me to move."
She looked at him and started messing with her hair. "I did awake you in the best manner. I just didn't want to throw you across the room this early in the morning."
"Ahaha ha, ha. Funny. Jackass." Fizz said while standing up and dusting himself off. Sona moved over to the left side of my bed and sat down in her chair that she brought with her.
"Wow, straight to it. Awesome."
She nodded and placed her hands on the back of my knee, and they began to have an aura around them. She closed her eyes and began to focus. I decided to try and help her and placed my left hand on top of hers, closing my eyes and began to focus. I whispered an overtime healing spell and my hand grew warm. I didn't open my eyes to check if an aura grew around my hand because I wanted complete focus on this healing. We stayed that way for a while. I could hear movement in the room and my champion speaking with each other having passive conversations. I didn't focus on any of the conversations, just on the healing spell flowing through my left hand. The door opened numerous times and I lost count and track of who left and who entered, but when Bella's voice beamed through my focus I opened my eyes slowly and ended my spell.
I looked at Sona who was still going, her hands having a strong green aura around them. I then looked at my doctor and smiled.
"Hey, how's Mr. Lunester doing this morning? Feeling even better? I can see you've moved onto healing your leg." She started, while looking over her clipboard.
"Yes, I feel great. Sona seemed to want to jump to it right away so, we've been at this for, I don't know, Diana how long?" I asked her. She looked over at me, then out the window at what seemed to be the position of the sun.
"About an hour." She finally said.
"Wow, that's great. Anyway I can have a feel of your muscles to see if you can get up and walk around freely?" Bella asked. At that, I looked at Sona who was still focused and I waited for a moment. The aura around her hands seemed to start dimming down and she opened her eyes. She looked as tired as when she first woke up. She must've put a lot of healing power into that session of ours. I hope I actually helped.
'You did summoner. A lot actually. Your leg is fully healed now since you helped me.'
"Really?" I said out loud. She nodded and I smiled at her and she returned it. She moved back a little and I swung my legs over the side, and stood up with ease. I didn't feel any pain, and I started to bounce around on it. "This is great. I'll help you as best I can with my shoulder so that when Bella here says all I need is a sling and I can leave to finish healing in my room."
Sona nodded again and smiled, her hands resting in her lap. "Well, let's get your right arm and shoulder checked out now to see how far along it is." Bella said.
I turned around and let her slide my gowns restraints lose, and Sona took it and held onto it. I heard Diana gasp quietly and that worried me. I turned my head over my right shoulder to look at her and she had her hands balled into fists again. "I don't like the sound of that reaction Diana. What is it? Is it worse than we thought?"
"Mr. Lunester, has Sona been working on healing your shoulder while you've been sleeping?" Bella asked. I turned my head to look at Sona and she nodded in confirmation and explained it to me.
'I only cast a small healing effect onto you when we first brought you in, maybe to ease the pain and seal the wound faster but that's it. I swear.' I repeated what Sona said out loud and Bella just placed her hands onto my shoulder blade. I didn't cringe or anything, just noticed how cold her hands were. Hold the phone, there was no pain. I lifted my arm up in front of me and then out to my side with ease and very slight pain.
"Well, whatever that spell was Sona, it worked wonders over the week. You can already move your arm around." Said the doctor. I put my arm by my side again and tried to bend my elbow. I didn't get it too bent before the pain. I almost had it at a full 90 degree angle but I was straining it enough as it is. That was when I cringed at the pain again. I felt Bella's hands on my arm then, slowly extending it.
"Okay, so your elbow still needs some work but it's almost there. Honestly, I think you're healthy enough to get an arm brace and I can send you on your way. Diana, you just need to touch up medicine and you can go today as well."
I turned to Bella quickly and smiled with excitement. "Are you serious?"
Bella laughed and held another one of her beautiful smiles. "Remember? I don't lie, so yes I'm serious. Now, I'm going to go do some paper work, were going to do some tests to prove you and her are ready to be released from our care then you'll be free to go. Okay?"
I nodded eagerly started moving my right arm around again. "Hell yeah, we are good. How long is this boring doctor paper stuff going to take?" I asked.
She was flipping through her documents on her clipboard again then looked up to me. "Gimme two hours and we should be ready to do the tests, then once you pass those, you're good to go. So why don't you enjoy your freedom and head down and get some food while I finish up here alright?"
"Yup, will do." I winked at her and she smiled and turned and headed out the door, calling out to one of the nurses at the nearby counter. I looked at Sona who stood up and held out my gown with a reddened face. I was confused for a second then looked down to see my basic underwear on. Whoops. 'Sorry Sona, you were bound to see this at some point. Guess it's better sooner than later.'
'It's fine summoner. Here is your gown.' She responded. I held out my right hand still testing out its movements but before I grasped the gown I pulled it back looking for a mirror. I had to know why Diana tried to hide a gasp from what she saw. I saw one in the corner of the room on the side where my bed was and walked over to it. I turned to my left and exposed the new scar of the cut that was now forever a part of me.
It was a cut that went from the top corner of my right shoulder, running slightly diagonal down to just below to middle of my back. The widest it seemed to get was half an inch wide but the weirdest feature was the few tiny lines coming out of it in certain areas. My guess was the poison that was apparently on the blades made my veins internally explode causing scarring on the surface. It was a dark pink, easily noticeable against my dark toned skin. I reached my left hand around and felt the edge of my new scar.
"Summoner, we are so sorry that we couldn't protect you. This is what you will have to live with for the rest of your life. Our mistake." Diana said to me.
"I already forgave you guys remember? And don't be sorry for this. This scar is awesome!"
At that moment, Ahri, who was asleep that whole time and just now was waking up, rubbed her eyes. She was in front of me in the same chair she decided to have a fit in, and looked over at me, gasping. "Oh my, at least wait till were alone my dear summoner." She said in a seductive tone. I just rolled my eyes and walked back to Sona and took my gown back, having her help me tie it back on at the back.
"You wish Ahri." I said.
"I do, and eventually, I will get what I want Fox." She winked at me. I rolled my eyes again and looked around at the three of them and then saw Aatrox standing outside of the room.
"Where did everyone go?" I asked.
"Fizz, Rengar and Yasuo went to the bathroom I think. They should be back any minute." Responded Diana. I nodded and a few moments later, all three of them walked into the room, followed by Aatrox who had to duck under the door frame. I never noticed he was that tall.
"Okay, good all of you are here. Now, since you guys missed the doctor coming in, we examined my leg and shoulder to see what state they were in. The wrap it up, I'm mostly healed I just need to pass a few tests in about an hour and a half, Diana's going to get some medicine and we are going to leave."
"Whoa, hold up, slow down, back it up and let me question this." Said Fizz. I sighed and waited for him, motioning with my right hand for him to proceed.
"Now, your shoulder is fine?" He asked first.
"Completely. My elbow needs a tweak but that's it."
"What about your leg? You and Sona healed that up this morning?" Asked Yasuo next.
"We did. Next." I said.
"What about the young huntress?" asked Rengar next?
"She was fine yesterday just needed a final day of rest. Next." I said quickly because I was getting hungry and I wanted to get my next task for them out there. They looked at each other and shrugged at the same time.
"Were good." Said Fizz.
"Okay, moving on. Here's what's going down. I was thinking of this the night before I was attacked by those masked fuckers. Since I'm bound to all seven of you until death and all that marriage sounding shit, and I'm now a true summoner, here's what I want you all to do. I'm guessing me being bound to seven champions has given me a big name of sorts so this should be fairly easy."
"Okay, you getting to the point here auctioneer?" Said Fizz.
"Yes. Here it is. I need something to distinguish me from all the other summoners'. If you haven't noticed, each bound summoner has their own look. I need one as well but I don't want to pick out what it is. So what I need to all to do is go to the small town a mile or so over and shop at the stores there. I want all of you to help each other pick out a new outfit for me." I finished it up and waited for their response. Every last one of them looked at each other and smiled, even Yasuo, Aatrox and Diana. They all then turned back to me at the same time.
"Really?" Asked Ahri.
"Really really." I said.
Fizz laughed a short laugh and held up his fist. "Sweet! First official mission as a team! Let's do it!" Fizz moved his fist around to each of his fellow bound champions and fist bumped them.
"Do not worry young hunter! We shall get you a new look that defines you and us in a proud way!" said Rengar with a beat on his chest and a small cheer from the rest of them. I didn't think they would be this excited to get me a new look.
"I hope you do." I said. And with that, we all left towards the cafeteria to get some food. We stayed down there and talked about several things, shared some jokes and brought up possible official jobs we could all do. The two hours seemed to pass fast because we had a nurse approach us and call Diana and I back up to do our tests. They weren't that hard, I just tossed around a small ball with ease and did some small running exercises. Diana just sighed some papers for her new prescription for some headache medicine.
Once Bella gave the okay that I passed, I was given some generic summoner robes and put them on. I slid my boots on and felt some of my worries slide away. I have no idea why it felt so good to have these boots on my person it just did. I signed my release papers, gave Bella my wing that I was staying at and gave her a hug goodbye for now. She reminded me of Wednesday and I nodded back in confirmation. I left with my new arm sling and my right arm relaxing in it. As we left the hospital wing of the Institute, we came up to the main hall. There were a lot of summoners' moving about and a few champions as well. They didn't seem to notice me and that was fine. I walked to the middle of the hall, followed by my champions and I turned to them.
"Alright guys, go to the main desk and tell them you're my champions. They should know who you guys are and just ask for my coin card. They should hand you a blue matte card that says RP in the corner. No one knows what it stands for we just know it's on our payment cards. That card should have enough money for an outfit for you all to create for me."
"Wait, what if we get stuff that's worth, like, 1000 RP?" asked Ahri.
"Don't worry. I've only spent my RP on food and I don't usually eat that much. I get like 200 RP per two weeks and I've been a summoner for like four years. You do the math. Anyway, try not to go over 7000 RP."
They all looked at me with shocked faces. "What?" I asked.
"Holy shit Fox, you're rich. A good pair of shoes, like a GOOD pair, cost summoner's around 50 RP." Said Ahri.
"Well, I don't need foot wear. Anyway, just try not to go over 7000 okay? I've got some new furniture to buy." I said.
"Wait, why?" asked Fizz.
"While you guys are out for what I'm guessing to be the rest of the day, I'm going to be moving our stuff into a bigger room. Again, don't worry when you guys get back I'll have someone waiting for you down here to take you all to the new room." They nodded and began walking past me towards the main greeting counter. I turned to watch them as they talked amongst themselves, I'm sure about what they could buy with all this new money. The gigantic doors were open again because of the beautiful afternoon. I closed my eyes and felt the breeze blowing in through them. I then turned to the summoner's counter and approached an open receptionist. She looked up at me from her computer and smiled.
"Welcome Summoner. How may I help you this fine day?"
I flashed a quick smile and placed my left hand onto the counter. "Yes, I was just released from the hospital and came to pay for a room change since the day of binding gave me some new roommates."
"Roommates?" She questioned. I nodded in reply confirming that she heard correctly. "So that means you are Fox Lunester, one of the new True Summoners'?" She asked me.
"That would be me." I confirmed yet again.
"Wow, that was a big day." She said and her fingers began to move across the keyboard with precession and skill.
"It was. Quite shocking to be honest."
"I bet." She said. She looked back at her screen and smiled. "Okay Fox, looks like the Elders have already changed your room for you." I was taken aback by this and tilted my head to the side in confusion.
"Really?" I asked.
"Mhm. It says here they moved you into one of the end rooms that were meant for Gold Rank bound summoners, but seeing your new bound conditions, they gave it to you since you need the room." She smiled at me.
"Oh, sweet. Can you have someone take me there?"
"Actually, I have been instructed to be the one to take you there and help you settle in. Do you have any luggage for me to call extra help to get?"
I pondered in thought for a moment, enjoying the fact that the Elders actually had this ready for me. Then I remembered that the day I was attacked, my champions had luggage with them ready to move into my room. "Yes, send a couple of people over to the hospital wing to check and see if my champions left anything there."
She nodded and stood up, making her way around the counter. "Of course Fox. Now, if you would follow me?"
She had on a version of the summoner robes, but they were more casual than formal. Dark blue work pressed slacks, a Dark blue blouse with a lighter blue jacket over it. She had on a type of slipper with white ankle socks. I followed her to an elevator, and once we were both in, she pressed a button on the side of her small headset she had on and the doors closed and opened again in a heartbeat. We were on the second to top floor that fast and I didn't feel any movement.
"How did you do that?"
She looked at me with a smirk and shrugged. "I'm a receptionist. We've got some cool toys." After that, she left the elevator type thing and I followed. At the end of the hall were a couple of doors, dark brown from the tint of wood with two golden pillars on either side of the doors. She held up a shiny golden card to one of the pillars and I heard a high pitched buzzing sound, followed by what sounded like a click of a lock. She pushed on both doors and they opened and she held out her right hand for me to enter first. I walked in and had my breath taken.
The main room was huge compared to my basic summoner room when I enrolled. The floor sunk in a step in the middle of the room in a square shape and had two corner couches. In between them was an oval glass table with a bowl of what I guessed to be different nuts in it. As you walked in right away, the kitchen was to your right, with a bar connected to it. The kitchen seemed to have some pretty high tech stuff but I'm sure this was nothing compared to what Diamond and Challenger Rankers get. I didn't even want to go look at the rest of the rooms but I had the rest of the day to explore the place. I saw the glass doors to the balcony and quickly pulled one to the side and stepped through it. The patio was huge as well, and could easily fit all seven of us out here if we wanted to. There was basic nicely carved wooden furniture out here which was kind of Ironic to be honest. I leaned on the railing to see the view and had the greatest scene in front of me. I could see my hill to the right and behind it were the IronSpike Mountains and the small forest around that area, which just took your breath away.
"My Gods, this is a huge step up from my other room. I think I'll actually be in this room more than I have my last one." I said, and turned around to the receptionist. She was leaning on the counter to the kitchen and smiling at me.
"Sounds good. I'll be down in the lobby if you need me. There's a phone in that hallway with the numbers to each counter and the Kitchen downstairs if you need food brought up. I'll be at the counter until 6:30 tonight so if your champions are a little later than that, I'll have one of the overnighter's lead them up to here." I nodded in understanding and she nodded back and left. I went and picked up the keycard to my new living space and went over to the hallway. This didn't feel like it should be able to extend out this far but I'm sure magic is involved her so I'm not going to question it. I came to the closest room and brought up the keycard. I heard the high pitched sound of what I've narrowed down to a scanning and a screen popped up.
There were different themes to choose from it looked like for each room. Once you select a theme, you can choose the furniture and where it goes and it looks like you just buy the furniture here at the screen and it just comes to the room when you select it. Awesome. I left the hallway and noticed a separate set of doors on the other side of the room, opposite to the hallway. I walked over to it and held the keycard up to the pillars surrounding it and heard the familiar sound and the screen popped up. I scrolled through the themes and none of them looked good. Then I found one of an eternally fully blossomed Cherry Blossom Tree with pedals falling constantly and picked it. I chose the time of day and I landed on Full moon night. Once I was done with that, I picked a king bed with Dark blue sheets and a simple frame, a small dresser a few feet away from it and a small closet put at the wall opposite to the foot of my bed which I lined against a back wall. I clicked the 'finish and arrange' button and was given a 30 second countdown.
The 30 seconds was up when a small, gentle female voice came from a hidden speaker.
"Build complete. Enjoy your new style Summoner Fox."
Whoa, it addressed me by name. Cool. I opened the door and walked inside, my walls being the exact hologram that I chose. I laughed and walked over to the bed, falling onto my back onto it. I laid there staring at the moon and watching as the occasional cherry blossom pedal fell in front of me. Suddenly my eyes grew heavy and before I knew it, my eyelids fell over my eyes and I fell into sleep.
When I woke up next, I rubbed my eyes with both hands, not feeling any pain in my right elbow anymore. That must mean my champions were back and Sona had come in to do the final healing session on my elbow. I smiled and sat up, calling my Summoner's orb to be in front of me and it came from another unknown pocket. I did the usual time and date movement with my fingers and I had to rub my eyes again to check if I was seeing the right date. I was saying that I just about slept for 24 hours. Fuck, I haven't done that in a long time. I let the orb go back to its phantom pocket and I brought my legs over the edge of the bed. I could hear Fizz's laugh through my doors and I was hoping they were all up. I rubbed the side of my head gently before standing up. I swiped the card near the door again and the day setting of my theme changed from moon lit night to mid-afternoon. I closed my eyes quickly because the sudden brightness change hurt a lot. Good Gods, what the fuck! I squinted and noticed something in the corner of my eye. I looked over at it and it looked like a person.
"What's up?" I asked thinking it was one of my champions watching over me. But as my eyes adjusted, it wasn't a person, it was a mannequin, with extremely nice clothes on. Then it hit me, these must be my new clothes that I had them go pick out for me together. My jaw dropped as I looked at it and its detail. They did an amazing job!
The first thing I noticed was the overall jacket. It was a slight dark grew, the fabric being a soft looking comfortable fit. There were two buckles on each shoulder that clipped on the front. The collar was pronounced and had been fully zipped up which covered the entire neck. It ran down to the waist where I could zip it up or down to take it off, but it curved around to the back, down to the back of my knees. It had the feeling of a trench coat but it went to a tip on each side, kind of like Jayce's coat in the back. The sleeves had two straps going over each bicep on each arm. There was a symbol stitched into the right of the jacket where my right pectoral would be, and it had a shield with the top of a trident it, a musical note and a heart. On the outside behind the shield was a crescent moon. Also behind the shield was in almost perfect detail, Yasuo's sword and Aatrox's weapon crossing each other, and to top it off, were chains linked into the upper right corner of the shield and the side opposite to that corner, and the one linked to the corner went to one of the buckles and the other wrapped around the right ribs and to the back, I'm assuming to the same buckle. Next to the symbol were more straps across the zipper line at what look like just fashion but could actually be used to help keep the jacket closed. There were small pockets near the waistline of the jacket so I could put my hands somewhere besides my pants pockets.
Around the waist was a silver sash, which grew a little bigger in the middle of the waistline. In the middle of the silver sash was another sash that looked like red silk and made both sashes pop out and almost grab your attention. The dark blue jeans they got were a great color that went along with the jacket and sashes. There were two gauntlets, one for each of my forearms. They were both almost identical the only difference being that the right gauntlet had three runic symbols in it. They both covered most of the forearm and wrapped all the way around. On the bottom was the buckles for simple take on/take off maneuvers. The hat on top of the mannequin's head caught my eye when I saw that it was a beanie cap, the bill being small but in the front or wherever I felt like turning it. It was a simple dark blue color with a golden note near the bill.
What was next to the outfit was what shocked me the most. It was a blade and it was beautiful. The hilt was silver and had a detailed design. I leaned in closer to look at what it was and it was a bunch of tiny runic symbols. I wonder if they had a meaning or if it was just decorative. They swirled up from the bottom of the hilt to the base of the blade. There was also a second part of the hilt where it went from the bottom of the hilt out wards took an 85 degree turn up towards the base of the blade and just before it got there, took another 85 degree of something turn towards the tip of the handle where the handle met the base of the blade. I'm not great with angles so I took a guess on how they designed this thing.
The blade seemed to have three parts to it, so at the press of a button somewhere on the hilt, found it near where I would place my thumb, the blade would compress into a smaller one. The sections that marked where it sank back into the next level or extended back out were flat, except for the third tier which came to a one sided point. The base of the blade didn't have anything special it just had a strong one so as to resist catching on anything but still protecting my hand. Next to this beautiful blade was the scabbard, which looked like Yasuo's except the swirls were silver and blue.
Took the coat off the mannequin and turned it over to look at the back and saw the symbol that was on the front just in the middle of my back and bigger. I noticed a couple of buckles near the waistline on the back and I knew right away that's where I would mount my blade on me. I smiled and got to work taking off my current boring generic summoner robes and threw them aside. I then carefully put each clothing item on and tightened everything into place. I then tested out the weight of the blade and it was as heavy as I thought it would be. Pretty heavy but it was a weight I could get used to. I pressed the button and the blade made a prominent metal sliding against metal sound as it shrunk down in size to fit the scabbard more comfortably. I then slid the blade into the scabbard and attached it to the buckles near my rear end with ease. They really thought this through didn't they? Gods I'm actually proud of them right now. I could now head Ahri chuckle and Rengar speaking but I couldn't understand the words. The last thing I put on was my new cap and I turned it slightly to the side so that the music note was more noticeable.
Well, now it was time for them to see their good work in choosing an outfit for me. I looked to my left and saw a mirror there now. Guess I didn't notice it since I was admiring the good look of the outfit. I checked myself out and my boots had fit with everything. I turned around and looked at the weapon holstered in its comfortable spot with the hilt of the blade on my right side for quick access. The tails of the jacket swayed with my movements and it made me wonder what the fabric was. I turned back to see me front and adjusted the sashes once more and smiled.
"Damn, they know how to make me look sexy." I said before turning to the door and turning the knob to open it. I took a couple of steps out and all of my champions except Ahri were in the room and they all stopped what they were doing, which was either sitting on the corner sofa's in the middle of the room and at the counter to the kitchen with food there, and looked at me. None of them said a word and I just looked from one to the next with a neutral face.
"What?" I said trying to sound confused and Fizz, who had his mouth full, had a piece of whatever he was eating, fall from his mouth to the floor. Again, they all had shocked faces on as they looked me up and down at the outfit they chose.
"Alright Fizz, you are about to lose this bet my fri-" Ahri was saying as she came from the hallway where I'm sure they each chose their rooms. I made eye contact with her and she froze in place, looking me up and down. "Oh my, Fox…you look…" she began to say but Diana interrupted.
"Like a child of the night." And she smiled.
"A true hunter!" added in Rengar.
"Like a legendary night fisherman." Added in mumbled speech from Fizz.
"Like a true warrior ready for battle." Said Yasuo.
"Like a reaper of history." Said Aatrox.
'Like a true summoner should.' Added Sona.
I looked at each of them as they added in their own words of my look, then I looked at Ahri who was still looking me up and down, now just in a more seductive way and leaning against the wall, one eyebrow raised. "Just plain sexy."
At that I motioned towards Sona and repeated what she said but with more 'oomph'. "As Sona said that you all couldn't hear, she said, 'Like a true summoner should.' This is what I wanted you all to think for the most part as you worked together to get me an outfit to present myself in. This is going to be my first appearance to my fellow summoner's as an official True Summoner. We must show that I am your summoner, that you are my champions and that we work as one. This symbol that you all made, this is going to show our unity on me, but I need you all to back me up and show it. Someone could challenge me at any moment and I need you all to be ready to show that you are ready to not only fight with me, but you're ready to fall with me. That is what I've seen to be a True Summoner and to be bound. Now since I am bound to all seven of you, that I'm sure has made some news so, I need to show the people that I am ready to fight for them as a leader and protector, or die with them as an equal."
I looked at them all and they returned their gaze to me. I stood in silence for a moment, letting my little speech sink in. "Are you ready to make your mark on this world as champions and fully accept me as your bound summoner?" I asked and that's when Yasuo stood up and moved in front of me. He unattached his sword from his waist and placed the tip gently onto the carpet and got down on his right knee.
"Usque in Finem" he said.
I raised an eyebrow and was curious as to what that meant. I had to ask. "What does that mean Yasuo? And where did you hear it?"
"It is an old saying of my people. I read it in a scroll from one of our temples and it was said by our warriors to our Elders that we guarded, every day. It means, 'Till the End' Summoner." I nodded and looked down at him.
"Thank you Yasuo." I looked up and saw Sona stand up and move next to Yasuo on his right, she then knelt down on her right knee as well and placed her right palm down and bowed her head, repeating Yasuo's saying to me in her mind.
'Usque in Finem, Summoner.'
Fizz seemed to swallow his food and jumped from his seat, grabbing his trident and walking over next to Sona, followed by Rengar. Rengar moved to Yasuo's left and knelt down as well. Fizz and Rengar at the same time bowed their heads and repeated Yasuo's saying.
"Usque in Finem, Summoner."
I looked at the four of them as they waited for the other three to follow them. I looked up to them and Diana had her arms crossed, looking at me. Aatrox doing the same. Aatrox smiled and stood, walking up next to Rengar, summoning his blade and gently placing the tip of the blade into the carpet. He knelt down and bowed his head, his wings covering him as he did so and he repeated Yasuo's saying.
"Usque in Finem, Summoner."
Ahri walked up next to Diana and looked at her. Diana didn't look at her but held her gaze at me. It wasn't her old killer death look, it was a neutral look. She must've been deciding whether or not to fully accept me. I knew this would be hard for her, with her reasons but we needed to start somewhere.
"You two have the deepest bond right now Diana. What's stopping you?" Ahri said and at that Diana replied.
"The fact of the unknown. How can we just put our full faith into him and just hope that it isn't misplaced?"
Ahri just shrugged and looked at her. "Guess that's why they call it faith." She then walked away from her and went next to fizz and knelt down and repeated Yasuo's saying which seemed to be turning into a creed now.
"Usque in Finem, Summoner."
Diana followed Ahri as she knelt down and repeated the saying. She then looked back at me and looked at the rest of them as they wait there in silence for my word. She looked at the empty spot near Aatrox and summoned her weapon. She walked over to it and looked at me once more and I returned her gaze with a smile. She then placed the tip of her blade into the carpet and knelt down and bowed her head, repeating what Yasuo said as everyone else did.
"Usque in Finem, Summoner."
I stood in silence and looked at each of them. I smiled and knelt down onto both of my knees and leaned back onto my feet, placing my hands on my thighs.
"This is now our creed, and I shall follow it was well. So that you may look to me as the people shall. As your leader and protector, but I shall die as an equal with you if need be. Usque in Finem, my champions." I said and with that I bowed my head. I brought it back up after a moment and saw they all had brought their heads up and were now looking at me.
"What now Fox?" asked Fizz. I looked at him and smiled.
"Now, we go confirm jobs with the Elder's and go on official missions as champion and summoner, as I said before." They looked from one another with smiles on their faces.
I grinned at them all and thought now was the best time to tell them of the name I was going to call us.
"Time to show the world that I am the Keeper of the Seven Sins."
-Final notes.
Sorry for the delayed chapter, I just got way more detailed than I originally thought. Anyway, I've been keep track of how much traffic my story gets and I'm almost at a thousand for 3 simple chapters. This is just the beginning too. Once I hit 1500 views and 20 favorites for my story, I'll start looking for a beta reader. I thank you guys for your reviews and hope to get some more feedback on this chapter. I'm looking for some good songs to put in at the end here to make it that more epic so if any of you find any great song while picturing the end scene here, let me know. And in case you noticed how long this chapter is, it's just over 20k words. Good chapter right? Peace :D
