"Stop talking down to yourself, right now." Takeo demanded.
His rise in tone slightly frightened Ako, she looked even more scared as he was going towards her. She closed her eyes thinking he was going to slap her, but instead she felt his arms wrap around her.
"T-Takeo-Kun?" Ako asked.
"Don't you dare listen to what those bastards say, don't let what anyone say get to you." Takeo said, as he hugged her tightly. "Ako-Chan, you aren't a side-character. Everyone as their own purpose, their own goals and their own talents. You live your own life for yourself, you're the main character in your own life."
Ako blushed as he said, she was a main character in her own life.
"And, I'd like to be a part of that show if you'd let me." Takeo smiled at her, Ako placed her hand on his chest trying to get their words out.
"T-Takeo-Kun, I-I…I would like for you to be a part of my life." Ako answered, with a smile.
Ako started hugging Takeo back, she closed her eyes and smiled. "I want him to know more, I want him to know me more, and I want to be a part of his life…as a main character." Ako thought, as tears fell from her eyes.
Takeo smiled and saw that it was still raining hard outside. "Would you give me the honor of taking you back to your dorm?" Takeo asked.
Ako nodded her, she grabbed her guitar and the lyrics and Takeo began leading him back towards her dorm. As she made it to her dorm, she bowed slightly as she walked into her room. Takeo smiled, but at that moment the lightning crashed near a forest hitting a tree.
But one of the trees gained a claw mark, and the thunder which crashed sounded like a wolves' howl. Takeo headed towards his room after a long day, once he walked in he saw Setsuna sitting on her bed.
"What's wrong?" Takeo asked.
"I wasn't able to do anything, and you got hurt." Setsuna answered. "If I can't protect me roommate, then how can I protect Ojou-Sama."
Takeo sighed and sat down next to her, he held his arm out of pulled her in for a hug.
"Takeo-San?" Setsuna asked shyly.
"Wow, my friends today are doubting themselves." Takeo said, with a slight sigh. "Setsuna-Chan, it was my decision to fight alone. Don't blame yourself for a choice I made, Alright."
Setsuna nodded shyly, Takeo smiled and looked out the window the lightning started becoming more and more frantic.
"Now, would you like to see something in the forest with me?" Takeo asked.
Setsuna looked at him with a confused expression, but she agreed. Both of them grabbed two umbrellas, and ventured into the forest. Setsuna taking her sword with her just in case something happened.
Once they got there, she was stunned to see the claw marks on several of the trees. She looked and saw Takeo placing his hand on one of them.
"He must really be getting agitated." Takeo said, with a slight sigh. "Setsuna-Chan, you're going to meet an old friend of mine. But please don't freak out."
Setsuna nodded in confusion, Takeo placed his hand in the sky. And started following the pattern of lightning travelling through the sky. He smirked and held his hand up into the sky.
"Fulmine Cadens De Trorum. A Flash of Lightning to Cut through the Night, spring forth from my hands and Throttle my Enemy. White Lightning!"
Takeo fired off a large blast of white lightning from his hand, and it made contact with the bolt of lightning.
"Got you." Takeo declared, with a smirk on his face.
He brought his hand towards, and literally dragged the lightning using the spell. Once Takeo placed his hand on the ground, the bolt of lightning strike on the ground creating a large crater.
Setsuna was still confused of the purpose of doing that, she looked into the crater and saw a shadow in the shape of a large wolf.
"That hurt, Takeo-Sama!" A mysterious voice declared.
"Yea, well I wouldn't have to ground you each time. If you'd travel like normal." Takeo countered, with a smirk on his face.
Once the smoke cleared, a large white wolf appeared in the crater with blue symbols on his tail, legs and body.
"I-Is that a…Raiju?" Setsuna asked, with a look of disbelief.
"Yea, I found the little guy when I was a kid going to Magic School. After that day, he became my familiar." Takeo answered. "His names, Shiro."
"I came after hearing about the Bounty Hunters and about this trip to Kyoto." Shiro said. "I got worried so I came on by."
Shiro jumped from the bottom of the crater and landed in front of Takeo and Setsuna towering over them.
"I never thought I'd meet a Raiju." Setsuna stated.
"Well, you can stay at our dorm. But can't you do something about your size?" Takeo asked. "Yes, Takeo-Sama." Shiro answered.
White lightning surrounded him blinding both of them. Once the light died down, Setsuna looked down and saw Shiro as an adorable white wolf pub.
"Raiju are able to manipulate their size by manipulating the lightning…" Shiro explained, but before he could finish.
Setsuna picked up Shiro and started cuddling him, without control. Takeo looked at her and started laughing to himself, Setsuna looked at him with a pink hue on her cheeks.
"Well, it's nice to see you acting like a teenage girl for a change." Takeo said, with a smirk on his face.
Setsuna handed Shiro back to him, out of embarrassment and Shiro jumped on top of Takeo's head.
"Now all, I need do is get you into hanging out with everyone else." Takeo stated, as he walked back towards their dorm room.
"The trip is in one more day right?" Shiro asked.
"Yea." Takeo/Setsuna answered.
Shiro was thinking over how skilled Setsuna looked.
"Why don't you form a Pactio with this young lady?" Shiro asked.
Both Takeo and Setsuna both did a spit take at the exact same time, and looked at each other with a huge blush.
"Sh-Shiro, why would you suggest that now?" Takeo asked.
Shiro sighed and jumped on the ground in front of them.
"The storm is still here, this would make the Pactio circle I create much stronger. Plus it wouldn't hurt to have an extra hand." Shiro answered.
"I-If, I could be of any more assistance then I don't see the problem." Setsuna stated, hiding a blush on her face.
"Setsuna-Chan?" Takeo asked, Setsuna looked at him with a determined expression.
"Takeo-San, I would like to assist you. If you'd let me." Setsuna responded.
"Are you just saying that just to get a kiss out of me?" Takeo asked, with a smirk on his face.
Setsuna did another spit take and her face turned completely red, she glared at him prepared to pull out her sword.
"Hey, I'm just teasing you." Takeo stated, as he held his arms out.
Setsuna calmed down and placed her sword aside.
"Shiro, go for it." Takeo commanded.
Shiro nodded, he opened his mouth, and fired off a jolt of electricity. The electricity started dancing around the ground, and the magic circle was drawn. Both Setsuna and Takeo stepped in the magic circle and stood in front of each other, both of them were nervous.
"A-Are you ready?" Takeo asked, Setsuna only nodded in agreement. "Sorry, if it's not perfect. This is my first kiss."
Takeo reached his hands out and cuffed Setsuna's face with his hands.
"Yea, mine too." Setsuna stated, as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders.
Once they kissed each other, a large amount of electrified mana surrounded both of them. The lightning itself started dancing around them.
"Takeo-Sama's magical potential truly is astounding." Shiro thought, with a smile.
Both of them continued kissing each other, it went from a normal Pactio to something a little more passionate. The lightning from the storm began gathering around, causing the pactio circle to glow brighter.
Once the light vanished, the card appeared in an electrified aura. Both of them parted and started looking at each other with a huge blush on their face.
"W-Well, that was…" Setsuna stated, looking away from Takeo.
"…it was amazing, right." Takeo added, with a smirk on his face.
Setsuna looked at him with an embarrassed and stepped back, her face was becoming redder.
"I guess, Takeo-San…no…Takeo-Kun." Setsuna answered. Takeo looked and saw the Pactio Card on the ground, he looked at it and smiled.
Ala Alata (White Swordswoman) On the Pactio Card, Setsuna wears a white short-styled kimono, which was fitted for battle, with short sleeves, a white sash tied around her waist, white stockings. Her hair is also white, her eyes are red, with white wings coming from her back. She's armed with a white Nodachi with a gold tsuba and a white ribbon at the end of the sword.
"That's our pactio. I'm a Magister Magi now. And you're my Adorable White-Haired Ministra Magi." Takeo joked, as he handed her a copy.
Setsuna glared at him after his response, Shiro jumped back on his head.
