He closed his eyes a moment listening to Mizuki speak before the lick. There was hardly a question to be answered really as his lips parted slightly letting a slight breath escape them. "I don't think that is a fair question.. of course I want you."

He had a slight sudden impulse as he moved and pinned down one of Mizukis hands with his own getting the other male to lay on his back as he stayed over top of him. "I always want you.. it's worse when I can't have you" He said sounding a little breathless in the process.

"You of all people should know the answer to the question." He spoke again before leaning down and kissing Mizuki's lips then releasing them and tilting his head a little to nip at the other's neck working his way back towards his ear making sure each breath trailed every action along his skin.

Mizuki smiled then gave a little gasp as he was forced to lay on his back with his hands held. There was nothing he could do now and Mizuki liked it that way. Mizuki then gave a little needy moan as the male above him asulted his ears with his breath and tongue. Oh how he loved that feeling. His head was swiming with the actions of the one before him and he struggled with his hands trying to get them free.

When Thalion smikred and let them go one went right around the males shoulder tangeling a hand within red hair. The other one travled down a toned side to rest on a muscled hip his fingers digging into the flesh with need.

Mizuki was about to take it to the next step with his hand traveling down to the tie of the males pants when...A loud banging came to the door and he growled angerly before whining in defeat. Looks like things will have to wait till later.

Thalion laughed slightly as Mizuki growled from the sudden banging to the door. "We'll continue this later" He spoke a whisper to his ear before kissing the edge of it once and then moving to get off of him. Though he didn't want to answer the door he figured he had to.

The door sounded again as he yelled he was getting there. After another few moments he opened the door. Looking to see who it was it seemed to just be a medic, the one who was keeping tabs on the general. Apparently they had a update on his condition. He looked at the slightly agitated Mizuki before he moved to walk out of the door and shut it behind him so he could talk to the medic.

After what seemed to be forever he walked back into the building with a heavy sigh and shut the door behind him, the medic was already walking off. Probably to go tend to her ward again. He moved a hand to his forehead before rubbing it a little, this was a damned mess wasn't it.

Mizuki sat there and watched as Thalion stood and went to the door. After awhile Mizuki was about to get up and see if the other male was still standing outside the door when Thalion came back into the room. Mizuki waited until he sat down before he moved behind him placing a leg in either side of Thalion before rapping his arms around the other male and placing his head upon his shoulder. "what is wrong..." Mizuki asked with a light kiss to the males neck.

He sighed heavily he'd have to tell him know, Mizuki could tell if he was lying easily enough. "It's been going on a while.. I just never told you it's why i've been having extra work recently." He seemed to pause a moment before explaining himself further. "The general had a illness, it's not curable, it's eating away hi very bones as a matter of fact. They've tried everything from potions to calling in medics with healing arts. But it seems his condition took a turn for the worse in the last day or so." He seemed to stop talking about that as he looked at the floor. "this place will fall apart without a leader, it'll turn into a mob let alone a brainless one."

He left out the part that the current General wanted him to replace him, saying he saw something in him. He didn't see it and he sure as hell didn't think he made a good leader.

Mizuki sat there and listened to thalion hearing everything yhe male said "you should guide them" Mizuki said in a smile. "you would be great for it. I will ne right there beside you the whole time" mizuki said with a smile "plus it helps you that someone has general training" he said trying .to lighten the mood.

He quickly waved off Mizuki's speech. "Tsk like hell, I've already had the old man breathing down my neck saying do it." He grew silent for a moment before speaking again. "besides what the hell am I suppose to do? Really we're fighting a fight that cannot be won. The East has users, we don't even have a medical team with such powers." He looked at Mizuki for a moment. "Genera experience or not, I've declined promotions for years, and I will continue to do so. Besides there's other commanders let them play General."

Mizuki looked to him almost sadly before he.thought of something "oh...that reminds me" he said "remeber the fight we had the burns I got" he asked waiting for the other to nod and make a comment "they came from you...from your hands Thalion" he said "it seems magic is still in the west....just hidden in plain sight" he said reaching and holding the others hand.

He looked at him rather oddly for a few moments listening before he laughed slightly though it was a rather weak one at best. "Right.. I hardly believe that, are you sure you weren't just in one of your rage fits.. you did seem to get into it near the end of the fight." Though Mizuki seemed to not answer him at first as he held onto his hand still. "Tsk besides, everyone here is tested at a young age for magic, they would have detected it then." He hardly believed what Mizuki was saying, that wasn't even logically possibly, hell drows were among the first to lose any magic ties. Maybe that mixture from the other day was messing with his head...

Mizuki squeezed Thalions hand and frowned at the male when he looked to him. "the test that they do is for the time" he stated. "the ability could of showen up later in life" Mizuki said with a little smile. "let me do my own test I know I'm not crazy" Mizuki said tilting his head with a smile.

"tsk i've never heard of it showing up later.. it's either you have it or you don't and there's not been a drow in... geese over 1000 years with any form of magic at all." Though he could tell he wasn't getting off the hook that easily with Mizukki, and it seemed he had already made up his mind on the matter. He sighed finally. "fine go ahead, though I doubt you'll find anything." He muttered a little, he would have known if he had magic.. something would have happened by now. Especially with fire magic..

Mizuki sat there then nodded his head with a smile before he moved and stood. Then he knelt down infront of the male on the bed. Taking the crystal from his neck he looked to Thalion "Now...if it does happen that you have magic...This may hurt a little espcially if its fire" He said with a little warning.

Then he lightly took one of Thalions hands and turned it so it was palm up. Taking his crystal he pressed the tip of it up from under the up turned hand. Mizuki then began to speack in his native tongue. As he finished the last word rolled off his tongue and he waited.

At first nothing happened. Mizuki was about to pull the crystal away with a sigh when he noticed that Thalions dark hand had a light glow to it. Soon that glow grew then low and behold a flame sparked in the middle of the males palm.

Mizuki smiled as he removed the crystal and the flame staid. It did not burn the flesh under or around it. It just sat there and danced in the light draft that was in the room "See...I knew I wasnt seeing things" He said with a smile.

Seeing as nothing did happen at first he was a few mere seconds from telling Mizuki that he was right and that magic wasn't alive in these lands. Though he had to bite his tongue before he could do just that. Really it didn't seem like he had anything to say, though it probably was a hell of a shock.

".... o.. k.. your right.. though... to admit something... this is freaking me out a little... " He seemed to stare at the flame, he had the odd question on his mind.. how the hell do you get rid of it. Though for the time being he didn't ask it, probably still in a bit of shock that there was a fucking fire in the middle of his palm.

"as if I didn't have enough troubles.. now i have to worry over setting the damn room on fire?" He sighed a little, why fire out of all of the elements why one of the most destructive and probably pain in the ass elements to control. Sure he had read books on fire users, half of them never made it past a young age due to mishaps.

"ok.. so.. what do we do with this, it hardly seems helpful if i can't summon it on my own let alone if it only appears if I'm drunk.." Though he was sure Mizuki had some smart ass answer that he was about to spit out for him.

Mizuki sighed and kneeled infront of him again. Taking the others fingers he meerly closed his hand into a ball and watched as the fire was put out. "Well...there is one way to do it" He said 'Though your not going to like it" He said slightly. "I know of a cave...that I can go and get a crystal like mine that would become yours" He said with a little tilt of his head.

"One placed around your neck all the magic that is within your being will go into the crystal and there for all you need to to is learn how to contole the crystal" He said with a nod of his head and a small smile. "That training is not heard and short" He said with a nod of his head.

Now he was about to continue "But...I alone would have to go and get it" Mizuki said with a little bit of a frown "For its..." This part Thalion was not going to like but hell Mizuki would end up doing it anyways even if the male infront of him said no. "Its...um...in the east" He said as his ears dropped listening to Thalion call him crazy and began on a rant of if they found me I would be dead and so on and so forth.

Mizuki just leaned forward and placed a kiss on those lips to quiet them. Sitting back he smiled "I will be fine....let me do this for you" He said softly "The trip will take all of a week...there and back' He said knowing the male was about to protest then he said something that even cought himself off guard "Let me go and do this for you...if you refuse I will leave on my own accord with or with out your blessing" He said simply with a shrug on his shoulders.

He sighed finally knowing he wasn't going to change his mind. "I don't like it.. but i'd rather I say yes you can go then to tell you no and you leave anyway.." He disliked this plan by any means. Though maybe the crystal would be easier then trying to risk the old methods of training to control it. Plus the other method could take years as in a lifetime to master the element.

"If your not back in a week I swear I'll be paying a visit to your 'friend'... " He hissed out his words a little, he was all too serious too. He would destroy the woman if he found out she had Mizuki and that was the reason he didn't return. But he hopped that wouldn't be the case.

Mizuki smiled and leaned forward kissing the male before him. Reaching a hand up he tangeld them within red choppy locks. Pulling away Mizuki gave the male before him a soft smile "I will be fine' He said "I know the east like the back of my hand. Heck even passages and caves that no one but I know of" He stated to him with a smile "I swear to you I will come back in a weeks time...no more...no less" He said moving his hand from the males hair to rub Thalions cheek.

With that Mizuki stood and got dressed. Mizuki wore black pants with what seemed to be little lavender flowers around the cuffs at his feet. A black shit covered his chest giving the color of his crystal a more vibrant look. He then tied a pouch to his left leg that contained medical hearbs for the just incase. On his other leg daggers in a holster sat there. Placing a cloak on Mizuki then braided and tied off his hair having it fall over his shoulder.

Grabbing his staff Mizuki turned and looked to the male who was still sitting on the bed with his head bowed. Mizuki took soft steps over before leaning down and forcing the male to look at him "I will come back to you" He said with a promise and a kiss before he stood once more waiting for the male to show him out.

"tsk you better come back. I'd hate for the East to fall in one nights time because of one guy going over and destroying them" He smirked a little, sure a bit of a cocky thing to say but this was Thalion, a challenge was still a challenge.

He stood finally and walked towards Mizuki to see him out at the least. He'd walk with him till the entrance. Then he guessed he had work he needed to do in order to stay busy. And to keep himself from worrying.

"I didn't say it yet.. but thank you. I mean you could leave me to my own instead though I hardly promise that i've survive the basic training heh." Or at least the methods he had heard of, he was temped to see if they had any old tomes here but at the same time he didn't want to knowing he'd be also temped to test them. And that could end badly..

Mizuki smiled as they walked listening to the male beside him talk "Your very welcome" Mizuki said with a smile before stopping at the gate. Here he turned to Thalion "And besides...this way is better" He said leaning in and kissing the male one last time before he pulled back a little "I love you...and for that I will do everything in my power to return" He said with a light rub of the others cheek ignoring the guards at the gate as one made a comment. He would deal with Thalion after he left.

Mizuki then smiled and dropped his hand. Putting the hood over his head he turned and ran out the door. It was a long time until he got to where he needed and the faster the trip the better.

He grabbed Mizuki after he pulled back and smirked a little "you better come back, i know you promised already but I don't want to hear that the East has a new corpse they added to the pile.." He said it in a whisper next to his ear before biting it lightly and releasing him. "get going already geese, daylights wasting." He said with a slight shooing motion.

After he was out of site and the door was closed again he sighed a little. Now to find busy work. Though it was work that would need to be done anyway so it wasn't as it it was time wasted.

Mizuki ran through the trees. He almost felt free as his braid bounced on his chest with each step he took. By the time he had stopped running his breathing was heavy and the trees began to part ways. Looking aorund he turned his direction and this time walked in a fast motion. Jumping over a log he continued on his way.

The day was growing dim and he needed to stop for the night. But doing so out in the open was not the smartest thing. Walking late into the night he finaly found a cave and gave a tired smile. Walking in he went right to the back the crystal around his neck the only soft light. Purching up on a wall he held his staff to his chest so it rested on the wall behind him. Closing his eyes Mizuki meditated for the first time in a while.

Mizuki awoke with a start. There was no slow waking it was just a jump from one to the other. Standing with his staff Mizuki headed for the mouth of the cave. There he stood looking at the sun just starting to poke over the horizion painting the sky with oranges and soft purples. Mizuki smiled it was a great day to travel.

Taking pace he began the long walk to the eastern caves. Cutting through the trees Mizukis step faulted a little but he kept walking. Training his sences he heard the leaves in the trees behind him move a little the leaves falling to the forest floor below. Mizuki thought it strange for no wind was about him.

Walking ferther the leaves fell from each tree to the next and Mizuki had enough. Some one or something was fallowing him and has been now for the past four or five hours. He knew that what ever it was ment him no harm for if it did they would already of had a confrontation.

So Mizuki did the next best thing. Walking with his staff slightly raised he began a whisper of a chant in his native tongue. Then without warning he turned and shot something towards the trees above smiling when he heard a gasp. "Got you!" He said with a smile then gasped as the viens in the tree revealed what or should he say who was fallowing him.

Looking infront of him Mizuki growled and crossed his arms in anger "What the hell do you think you are doing all the way out here!?" He asked looking to Neimi who was tied up and struggeling. She stopped and looked at him "I ...fallowed you" She said with a sheepish grin.

"No really..." He said before waving his hands and giving a smile as the vines dropped her the two or so feet to the ground. Mizuki gave a snort of laughter as she groaned rubbing her back side. "What was going through your head?" He asked her. Neimi looked up "I heard you and Thalion talking" She said "I want to help!" She all but yelled and Mizuki sighed.

"You are just going to be in the way" He said so matter of factly and tilted his head a little as she stood and began yelling at him. "You and Thalion treat me the same! Always telling me what I can and cant do! I am not useless! I can help and do just as much as you to do!" He stopped and looked to her "I am not the usless member of the family...I can help to" She said lowering her head.

Mizuki almost felt bad for her...though he sighed "Did you at least bring something to protect yourself?" He asked and Neimi nodded motioning to the sword on her hip and the small sheild on her arm "You were in the armory again" He said with a frown "Thalion wont be happy when he finds out your gone" He said turning and starting to walk again. Neimi just shrugged and fallowed with a smile.

The rest of the day was eventful. They had almost reached the caves. He was shocked that Neimi did not protest how long or how far they walked. He was greatfull for that. Though now he was woundering if they should continue through the night. Reach the caves and start back to the first cave they reached to cut time in half.

"We are almost there...want to continue all the way' He asked the female behind him "I am getting tired...but we can continue I wont protest" She said almost happily. With that Mizuki stopped and looked to her. He himself could go a week without real substance just from the herbs that he had. So opening the pouch on his legs he took out a small bundle. It was the size of a berry and he passed it to her.

"Take this...its a combination of herbs that will keep you awake and aware until we can rest" He said taking one himself. Mizuki then turned and continued on his way.

A little while later Mizuki smiled as he noticed something. The ground was no longer a steady climbing slope but a steep cliff. Looking over he noticed the cave off to his left. "Even after all this time..." He said to himself as he headed for the cave. Taking the crystal off of his neck he placed it to dangle from the curl of his staff.

The crystal soon began to glow a soft lavender and he entered with Neimi behind him. They walked quite far into the darkness before Mizuki stopped. "Neimi...I must ask that what you see beyond this point is kept to only yourself" He said "You can not even tell Thalion" He said looking to her. When he got a nod he smiled and placed his hand on the wall to his right speaking softly.

Soon the wall fated and a brighter light then that of Mizukis crystal greeting them making them blink. Mizuki then smiled and stepped forward. Before him was a stream that flowed freely right through the mountain seeminly to come and go nowhere. That was not what cought Neimi's eye though. It was the scene before her.

Mizuki stepped forward and purred as he reached a hand out to the creature before him "There there little one" He said cooing softly "Its just me...its been awhile" He said rubbing the head of a griffen with a smile. Neimi stuttered "I-i-is tha-that a g-g-g" "Yes its a griffen" Mizuki said with a little but of laugher.

The creature was tall with the head of an eagle along with wings but the base of a lion paws included. "But...myth" She said and Mizuki laughed 'Oh my no. Never. They do excist...or should I say did" Mizuki said turning to the beast with a smile "Raiya here is the last of her kind" He said sadly touching the beak of the beast. "I keep her safe hidden here and in turn she guards these" He said motioning a hand to the pond.

There in the water was different crystals of shapes, sizes and colors. Walking over to the side Mizuki took everything off besides his pants and walked over to the pool. With a smile to Neimi he turned and dived into the seeminly shallow water. Though the water was deeper then she thought as she yelled out his name and took a step forward.

Mizukis head pooped up out of the water and he swam to the edge with a smile "Sorry couldnt help my self" He said with a smile. He then placed what he was holding in his hand on the shore line. A small red crystal the size of his laid among three that were light blue, one that was dark blue, another was yellow and the last was pitch black. "That should do" He said with a smile.

With the protection they had they stayed for the night. It was decided when Neimi fell asleep curled up and into Raiya with the beast rapped around her as well. Mizuki smiled and joined them for the night with out a worry.

The next morning Mizuki awoke at the same time as usual and smiled as he got the same reply as usual while trying to wake the other beside him. Neimi was just like Thalion. When she was finaly awake Mizuki was already dressed and waiting. "Take care dear" He said to Raiya as he kissed her beak and left the cave once more ignoring the whine the beast gave.

The trip back was peaceful. Stopping for the night at the back of the first cave Mizuki stretched. They had made good time and no trouble he was glad. His muscles were sore but non the less he needed to move. He had to get home to Thalion. With that thought his meditation began.

Mizuki awake in the morning when the suns raise began to light the cave. He stretched and looked about. Neimi was already awake stretching before him with a yawn "Come on we have a days travel till home" He said with a smile and she nodded.

Leaving the cave they began walking through the trees neither saying anything just enjoying the slight breeze that brushed past them. Mizuki didnt notice how long they had walked until he looked up and noticed the begining of the sunset the sky a dark red.

The color gave Mizuki a shiver. It was said that red skies been blood has been shed or would be that night. He was glad that they were almost back. Soon the trees parted and the all to well mountain side became visable. But then Mizuki stopped dead in his tracks. Taking a hold of Neimi he covered her mouth and drug her into the under brush as she began to speak. "Shhhhh..." Mizuki said into her ear as he peered out through the leaves of the bush.

Before him three men on horses walked slowly down the path before the mountain face one of them speaking "Man I cant believe Luna has us on patrol" The male said and Mizuki stopped dead. Patrol that ment that the camp was very close. "I know....she still has hopes on finding the general" He heard last before they departed into the trees once more.

Mizuki staid where he was but he removed his hand from Neimis mouth. After a moment or two they slowly crept to the gate and silently he gave a low whistle and slipped in unoticed with the gate closing behind them. That was a little to close. He needed to tell Thalion. Looking to Neimi he smiled "I would go home before Thalion finds you" He said before walking away heading home himself with a smile as Neimi ran past him sword clinking at her hip.

Mizuki walked into all to well knowen house. Looking around he noticed that he was alone. Placing everything off to the side he flopped back onto the bed with a sigh before letting his hair down. With the smell of Thalion around him he soon dozed off. It had been 5 days since he left and 5 days since he slept.

Thalion had noticed, he kept a good eye on the armory let alone where Neimi ran off to, the place was rather quiet and none of the others seemed to know where the girl ran off to.Though in the same instance he figured she was with Mizuki, so he wasn't as worried. Instead he tried to keep himself busy as best as possible.

He had managed to do a damn good job of staying busy, though half of the people thought he was crazy hardly getting any sleep and he had been spending more time with the general. Though his days were all but limited now. It was just a matter of time really. Though after a few days he stopped telling the old man that he wasn't going to take the position as general, even if he didn't after the fact he could at least try keeping him happy till then.

The same night that Neimi and Mizuki returned home the general had finally passed, Thalion wasn't home due to this very fact. He ad a few last requests the old man wanted to pass on, him and the other few commanders that were there listened and accepted any further orders from him before his passing. Though most of the stress of tomorrow fell upon Thalion's shoulders it seemed.

To be fair the others didn't have any issue in him taking the position, they said he already had been doing the job all this time during his illness. Though he was still torn about taking it up or not, this area did need a new leader. Or else all the small groups that were merged together would fall apart in a matter of weeks.

He was headed back towards his home when he crossed paths with Neimi she stopped dead to meet his gaze. "and where the hell have you been?" She looked down and didn't answer right away though when she started to say something he sighed and cut her off before kneeling and giving her a hug. "how about telling me next time? You don't have to prove anything by running off, id rather know instead of thinking something happened." Standing once more he looked at her though she seemed to be half in shock. "got it?" She flinched and nodded a little before running off towards where she stayed at nights.

After a little longer he finally made it back to his house before opening the door and walking in. He breathe out a little as he moved and leaned against the door as he shut it, though he was trying to not wake Mizuki who seemed to be asleep already. It had been a rather long week.. though he was sure Neimi and Mizuki had just as long of one.

Mizuki gave a little groan as he heard the door open though he did not move. But when nothing came to the bed, no warmness, soft voice, or light cresses Mizuki opened his eyes and turned his head to the male who leaned up against the door. Looking at Thalions expression Mizukis died a little "He died...didnt he" Was all he said. That is when confused, stressed out and releaved eyes looked to him.

Mizuki slid to the side of the bed and stood. Walking over on soundless feet he reached a hand out and touched the males face infront of him "Everything will be okay" He said to him "You will be a great leader..." With that Mizuki leaned forward and took the males lips within his own silencing any protest Thalion may of had.

Taking the males hand he guided him to the bed and forced him to sit up with his back on the wall before Mizuki took place sitting in the males lap with his legs bent on either side of the males thighs. Looking to Thalion he smiled softly "Told you I would be back..." He said before leaning in and kssing the male before him "And sooner then first thought to" He said "And not even hurt...I think its a new record" He said with a smile sitting his ass down on the males thighes as he placed on pale hand on the males chest with a smile.

He was about to protest, he never said he was really taking the position. Really he never noticed it till after the fact but the general had been more or less like a father to him, he would still be a damned thug if it weren't for a few faithful events and a show of mercy from a human. Though he didn't get a chance to name his protests as Mizuki seemed to silence him using his lips. Probably for the better, he would fight the fact that he wouldn't make a good leader tooth and nail.

He didn't really get much of a chance to say anything else in truth as Mizuki seemed to guide him towards the bed and made him sit with his back to the wall before taking over his lap. Though listening to him he did feel a bit better in truth. "I'd say.. you even managed to keep Neimi safe as well" he tossed in at the end, like he wouldn't have noticed she was missing as well as a few items from the armory.

He moved a hand to Mizuki's face resting it there before kissing his lips softly. "It's good to have you back.. to be honest I don't think I slept all that much without you here.. heh" It sounded a little odd for him to say such a thing, hell he felt odd saying it, but it was the truth.

Mizuki leaned his head into the other males palm enjoying the warmth that was there. "I did...the little brat" He said with a smile 'But the only thing that was on my mind the whole time..." mizuki said placing a kiss on the males forhead "Was..." He kissed again beside his eye "getting..." he kissed his cheek "...back" he kissed beside his mouth "...To you" He said in a whisper kissing him. Leaning in and placing a hand on the other males shoulder as the other found a place on the wall behind Thalions head to keep balance.

He listened to him, smirking a bit at the brat comment, that she was. Though it was probably his fault she was that way. "oh.. really now.. 'm not sure I'm convinced that you wanted to come back" He returned the kiss holding it for a moment before speaking again. "you thought about not coming back didn't you?" He was just teasing him, he knew that wasn't the case,hell Mizuki nearly pushed him onto the bed as soon as he was in the door.

Mizuki smiled at the taunt "Yes...I thought of staying in that damp dark cave that reminded me of the past...giving it up for this" He said kissing the male again with a little movement of his hips on the males lap "You wouldnt care..." He said continuing the teasing with a lick to the lips before he attacked the males neck with nips and licks.

He breathed out a little with the sudden change of actions from Mizuki as he nipped and licked his neck. "Oh no i'd care.. I'd have to go find you just to drag you back heh.." He closed his eyes for a moment enjoying what he was doing before speaking again. "and don't think I wouldn't.. not after the hell I went through to keep you alive.."

Mizuki kissed his neck bringing his lips up t his ear lightly licking and biting the lobe there before whispering in his ear "Hmmm...good thing I came back then" He breathed into his ear "I saved you so much trouble...I think you owe me" He said leaning back and looking at Thalion with half lidden passion filled eyes.

He laughed slightly though it was a little weak sounding "owe you huh... I'm not sue if i'd go that far with it.. " He said as he leaned forward a little leaving a few inches between his lips and Mizuki's "but if you want something you need to say so already.. " With that he kissed his lips keeping them locked together for a moment before he released him. "instead of teasing."

Mizuki kissed him back with earnest until the other pulled away and he gave a little needy groan at the loss of warmth 'I...shouldnt have to say it" He said removing his shirt and throwing it somewhere on the floor "You should know...' He began with a little movement of his hips before leaning down and whispering in his ear "That...I always want you" He said before pulling away with a swipe of his tongue.

He smirked a little before moving his hands to Mizuki's waste and keeping him pressed against him. "Oh i know.. believe me.. I just like hearing it." He said with a hint of amusement in his voice. "is it wrong to want to hear you say it.. maybe I should pin you down and torment you for a little while .. till you beg" He grinned a little at the thought, though he hardly thought that Mizuki would mind if he did.

Mizuki smiled at that "Oh...I think I would like that" He said before leaning down and giving the male below him a hungered kiss that lasted.

---------No no scene....so cencored!---------

Mizuki yawned sleepily as he blinked open his eyes. It was a bit of a role reversal to wake up this way. Here he was laying on his back with one arm curled above his head and the other holding Thalion who rested on his chest with his one arm throwen across him and their legs wrapped around each other. It was a good thing to wake up to.

Rreaching his hand down he brushed some of Thalions hair from his face with a tender smile. "I will always love you..." He whispered to the room as he gazed at Thalion. That is when the male turned sleepy eyes up to him with an uncharacteristic smile on his face. Mizuki hoped those words would fallow. The ones he loved to hear.

He was really slow at waking up, let alone he was a little thrown off by the reversed sleeping position they seemed to be in. Though it only took a few moments for him to come to enough to see Mizuki looking at him. "ssinssrigg dos zuch" was what he managed out though probably in his still tired state he never noticed what the hell he just said. A few moments later he moved closer to Mizuki and rested his head back down.

What he had said was the words Mizuki wanted to hear.. though he had spit them out without a second though in his native tongue, really it sort of made it sound exotic almost, though most wouldn't know the language.Mizuki would probably wake him up soon instead of letting him sleep but for now he was going to try and steal in a little more time.

Mizuki smiled. He did not know much of the others native tongue but some of it was silimar to that of his own. He knew what the other ment and he smiled noticing that Thalion kept his eyes shut. He mist be really tried. Mizuki would let Thalion sleep. He was shocked with himself as he dozed off as well.

Probably well into the afternoon Thalion finally woke up, though he felt groggy still as he moved to sit up a little. Looking next to him Mizuki was still asleep? What time was it even there's no way it was morning. A sudden knock at the door caused him to finish waking up as he complained a little before moving out of the bed.

"im coming geese.." He hissed towards the door before opening it. "Comand- " the man seemed to stop a moment, it was one of the other commanders of the western resistance. "I mean General- " Thalion glared at him finish that sentence i'll personally gut you on the spot.."

He seemed to nod understanding though he looked at him a little oddly, why was he still so against it. Hell everyone knew that the General favored Thalion for a number of reasons. He was a natural at leading even if he didn't notice it himself, people just followed him no matter what the request was.

Mizuki groaned as the knock to the door came. Really? Why couldnt they get some damn sleep around here!? He blinked open his eyes and saw the male standing talking to another. Something about the east getting closer and the fear of finding the place. But...the seal on the gate has been the strongest he has seen in a long time except be it his own but that was besides the point. A seal on something that large would take a full day of pure meditation.

Mizuki sat up and stretched before standing up the rest of the way his pants hung loosly on toned hips as he walked over to the door where Thalion stood. He gave a smile Thalion was going to kill him for this but oh well. Wrapping an arm around Thalions waist he rested his head on the males right shoulder while his left arm grasped the door.

"Comander" He said to the male infront of him getting a nod and a smile "The 'General' here..." He said ignoring Thalions growl of protest he continued "Will be on his way shortly. I have something I need to do with and for him first" He said nodding his head before the door shut infront of them and he turned Thalion around in his grasp silencing a protest with his lips.

"Oh hush you" He said before letting go listening to Thalion rant on about how you shouldnt do that and so on and so forth. He shrugged his shoulders before walking over to his pouch that he had brought back with him. Taking out the seven crystals from the pack he took the red one that was now attached to a string over to Thalion.

"May I?" He asked the male indicating to the crystal in his hands before he got a nod of a head. He smiled and reached up placing the crystal around the males neck. As soon as it laid flat on the chest of Thalion it began to lightly glow before the dark red began to change.

Soon the crystal glowed a soft read with flecks of orange dancing and swirling within it. "There...see that was not so bad" He said softly taking a step back and looking at Thalion with a smile.

He never got the chance to protest as Mizuki was doing his job all too well of keeping him silenced and making sure to not give him the time to say anything. Though it was probably for the better seeing as he would fight that he's not the general tooth and nail till the end.

The man at the door nodded before stepping back and walking off shortly before it was closed, he had his own work to deal with as well. they needed to prepare and Thalion had already said prepare anyone who was able to fight just in case things went bad.

Though when he got the second he did protest, he wasn't too into showing public affection, though thats how males of his kind were..plus he was never really brought up with showing any so that hardly helped matters.

Though after Mizuki started with the crystal let alone asking him if he could he shut up, he wasn't sure what he was expecting with this.. After it was finished he looked at him oddly before speaking "depends...i guess not though.." He wasn't sure if he completely trusted this thing really.. but it'd have to do at least maybe prevent any mishaps..

Mizuki smiled as he touched the crystal on the males neck "It hold all the power that you have" He stated to him "And its simple to use. It will take a little of time getting used to the matter" He said with a nod of his head before he looked up to Thalion. "All you really need to know is if you want it to happen just think...fire" He said simply taking the others hand within his and bringin up before them.

Holding it so the palm was up Mizuki rubbed his hand down the palm "Just think it..." He said slightly looking to the males eyes again. "And it will happen" He said softly before he looked down at the hand again. Then as if nothing the light glow appeared and a spark but no flame.

"It will take some time getting used to" He said as the male began speaking. "You just have to trust me" Mizuki said looking up at him with a smile before leaning in and giving the male a kiss on the lips. He then took a step back "Either way the day awaites us" He said moving to get dressed.

Removing his pants before the other he heard a growl from Thalion as he looked over his shoulder to him and gave a little wink before placing clean pants on his lower half ignoring the protest the other male gave. Placing a shirt and shoes on as well Mizuki grabbed his staff and the other crystals that laid on the bed.

Turning and looking to Thalion when he was asked what the others were for he spoke "I...have my suspisions on some of the others within the camp" He said to him "I am sure that more then just yourself harbor magic that is sleeping" He said slightly. "So...I brought crystals for everyone that I have in mind" He stated dangeling the other six from his hand.

Three light blue, one dark blue, one pure black and the last a yellow that all glittered in the light. When Thalion stepped forward and looked at him reaching a hand out he answered the males question of which crystal helped with what magic. Mizuki smiled at the question and spoke.

"The light blue is healing, the dark blue is electric, the yellow is light and life and the black is shadow" He said simply with a nod of his head. He then met Thalions eyes "Come with me for them" He asked "I know of one that will protest even the slightest thought" He said. And it was true. For the dark crystal he thought belonged to a male that he himself did not like or trust in the slightest, but the west needed all the help that they could get.

He listened to him the whole time, it was a bit of information and it seemed simple enough.. though he was sure there was more to the controlling the magic then he was just told. He'd have to worry about it later Mizuki was right the days was still too young to be wasting here and bothering with a crystal.

Besides that apparently he thought a few others might have a similar ability. He looked at him questioning the explanation he just got. Never the less he went about changing his clothes as well before following Mizuki. "so.. who are you talking about that will protest this?" He was a little curious at who he was talking about, though at the same time.. if what he thought was true the west might stand a chance.

Though before they left the house he thought of something he had been forgetting to tell Mizuki about. "oh!.. on the note of rare events.. or rather long forgotten. That herb the one that was rare. You'll never guess where I found it.. " Mizuki seemed to look at him oddly for bringing it up from no where. "it was on the head of a guardian.. apparently it had been asleep in that spot for some time right in plain view." He seemed to shrug it off a little before walking out of the building and waiting for Mizuki to follow.

Mizuki listened and nodded at the male with a smile "Wow...a gardian really?" He asked 'I havent seen one since...hell since I was 4" He said with a tilt of his head "That was a long long long long time ago" He said with a smile. Then as they walked down the path he spoke again "Yes...I want to check Tarin" He said to the male.

Tarin was the gate gaurd that Mizuki never got along with. It would seem that the male held a deep grudge agaisnt him and no matter what he did it was never good enough. That and if Mizuki heard one more thing about Thalion and himself come from the male he would kill him.

At that thought Mizukis ears dropped "As little as I like the guy....the west needs all the help it can get" He said with a little sigh resting his head on the others shoulder as they walked never braking stride until they reached the gate and he lifted his head hearing the familular voice of Tarin "Well well well if it isent the queens" He heard in a snarl and Mizuki lost it. Punching the guy square in the jaw with a growl.

He was about to lash out again when he felt strong arms hold him back and Thalions voice in his ear telling him to calm down.
