Will of Fire

Akito closed his eyes to concentrate for a second. "Hmm..." Suddenly, his eyes shot open and he gasped. "Akari!" He whispered, looking at Panzela and Anthony. "I have to go for a bit, but I'll be nearby. If anything happens, I'll be here in a split second, okay? Just act like nothing happened." He sent them a reassuring smile and jumped out the window, hiding nearby.

 

Panzela looked at Anthony, trying to be calm. "It's okay, she's just being paranoid of him being with us." she explained. "Where were we? Oh yeah, N." she tried to continue their lessons as if nothing had happened like Akito'd asked.

 

Akito felt Akari's presence fading. Okay, she was just passing by... That's good... he thought and waited until it was gone completely.

Anthony nodded nervously and tried the next letter. "Eh-....... N..........." He said and smiled.

 

"Good job." Panzela nodded, smiling. "Okay, O."

 

Anthony struggled with this one a bit. "Ah-............. Eh............ Ol.......... O..." He smiled and yawned.

Akito jumped back through the window. "Okay, she's gone..." He said softly and smiled.

 

"good." Panzela smiled, more relaxed now. "She must be patroling the area to make sure you don't come around." she looked over at Anthony, "Good, and I think that's all for now. You look tired again."

 

"Or she may have just been passing by... It seemed like she was in a hurry," Akito said and walked up to them, smiling.

Anthony nodded in agreement as he yawned again.

 

"Well I hope that's all it was. I don't want her hanging around here." Panzela glowered at the thought of Akari watching her aunt's house. She shook her head and smiled at Anthony. "Go to sleep, then. I'll see you later and we'll finish up the alphebet then."

 

Anthony nodded and laid down, actually more exhausted than he'd thought. His energy hadn't fully returned yet.

Akito smiled and nodded. "Hopefully... Either way, she's gone now..."

 

Panzela yawned and blinked in surprise, she'd forgotten how long she'd been awake. "Well that's good. If she comes back here I'll... I don't know..." she laughed and stood up. "I think I need to go home, before I fall down." she squeezed Anthony's hand breiftly and then walked towards the door to go tell her aunt she'd be back later. "oh, I guess you shouldn't stay here when my aunt gets up." she added, smiling at Akito.

 

Anthony waved and smiled before laying down and closing his eyes, soon falling asleep.

Akito nodded. "Yeah, you're probably right... Would you like me to walk you home, though?" He asked and smiled.

 

Panzela paused and thought for a moment. "Um, okay." she finally agreed. It's not as if he'll see I've got no one to live with. And even if he did, someone is going to put two and two together when I move anyway. She smiled and went to her aunts room, knocking softly. "Auntie? I'm going home for a little while, I need some sleep. Anthony is asleep in his room. give me a call if something happens. I'll be back in a few hours."

 

"Okay, sweetheart. Just be careful, okay?" She said.

Akito noticed Panzela seemed kind of unsure. "Is everything okay?" He asked her.

 

"I will." Panzela assured her aunt, waving a little before leaving. "Hm? Oh yeah, i was just thinking." she answered Akito, walking outside.

 

"Okay..." Akito answered and walked outside with her, heading in the direction of her house.

 

Panzela swung her bag up onto her shoulder and walked next to him. "Thanks for watching out for us, Akito."

 

"No problem," He said and looked at her, smiling. "It's the least I could do after... Well, you know... hurting you guys..." He rubbed the back of his head. "Besides, how could I let you guys get hurt?"

OOC- Hey when should the school dance be? :)

 

OOC: good question! lol, idk really... maybe a 'week' from now or something like that.

bIC: "That is true." Panzela agreed. "Which reminds me, how did talking to Becky go?" she asked, a little nervously.

 

Akito looked at his feet. "Not too good... Let's just say she's terrified of me and I was talking more to Kairuto than I was to Becky..." He sighed.

OOC- Well we could do it sooner if u want... I don't really have any other ideas 2 do... lol... or a 'week' would be good. :)

 

Panzela sighed. "yeah, but can you really blame them?" she admitted, "I trust you, but I can understand exactly where you are coming from with that family and having to do what they say. But not only did Becky get hurt very very badly, but they have nothing to relate to." she shook her head. "I hope they trust you somewhat soon."

OOC: yeah, i'm not sure. we'll have to think about a good time... maybe Angelina will have a good idea. and if not... a 'week''ll be okay i tihnk.
