[Dragoncookie]

"Oh. I guess it is, kinda. It was really brave of you to rush in like that, but really stupid at the same time. Who knows they could've done to you if they were for real?" She sighed and breathed the cold air. "It was too forward. Just like you, I suppose. I don't see why others'd joke, though. That is really rude!" She frowned eating the rest of Inkyu's ear.
"It feels so nice to eat Inkyu every day." She grinned. Then she realized what she said. "Because... he is really cute, haha. Yes."
"Wow. That came out surprisingly wrong." She thought.
"Well, if you don't mind, maybe we could meet up at your place and discuss strategy?" She said, closing her bento. "I want to go shopping a bit during the afternoon, I saw a beautiful dres-- uh. Right, I'm getting carried away. I'll call you when I'm ready, what do you think?"

[Shaddow]

Leon stood up, tossing his bento in the garbage. "I might stick with a sandwich next time." He held out his hand to help Erin-Senpai up. Though he somehow managed to miss hearing her disturbing comment. "Having a girl over to my place on the first day of school, huh? I really am pretty popular aren't I?" He grinned at her.

[Dragoncookie]

Erin took Leon's hand to get up. "Thanks, Kyrin-kun. Don't get too proud, though, it's just a strategy meeting!" She felt her cheeks heating up.
"W-well. Anyway. You should show me some American food sometime. I hear it's really different from our food." The bell rang again.
"Oh, crap! It's already this late?! I gotta run, or the teacher will kill me. See you later, Kyrin-kun! Good luck chasing off your fangirls!" She said, picking her stuff up and running for the stairs.

[Shaddow]

The school day ended rather quickly, without incident, for the most part. He did end up with three more numbers, that he didn't really want. He couldn't turn them down of course, he had to keep up his cool-guyness. He got home quickly, ducking on the girls, so they would not know where he leaved.

He pulled out some food and started making American-style hamburgers. "I bet she'll like this." He straightened up the house quickly, removing the look of a bachelor and put on some tea. The day quickly ended as he waited for the doorbell to ring.

[Dragoncookie]

Erin ran down the street after leaving her shopping bags at home. She'd changed into her more casual outfit - a colorful t-shirt, some jeans and sneakers - and undid her single braid.
A few playing kids almost tossed her on the ground when they passed her by on the mall- she had ended up breaking something in the impact, that's why she was late.
She started running instead of walking, and after a few minutes she arrived at Leon's place - she had called him to ask where he lived when she got home.
She rang the bell and looked around while waiting. The sun was already setting.

[Shaddow]

Leon opened the door after the ring, he had changed into a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt, nothing fancy. "Come on in, Senpai." He said, moving aside for her. He showed her the small apartment, the single bedroom, the small kitchen and the visiting area. "Would you like some tea?"

He motioned for her to sit down and poured her a cup of tea without waiting for a reply. "So, you wanted to discuss witch strategies? Is that even possible? I mean how do we even know what a witch is going to be like until we come across one? I suppose if we come across one you fought before we might know something, but how likely is that?"

He shifted on the floor pillow, it was an awkward way of sitting and he was still not used to it, why do they have to be so close to the ground? He was kind of liking the kotatsu, it was keeping his legs toasty. "Oh right, I made food. Are you hungry?"

[Dragoncookie]

"First of all" Erin took a sip of the hot tea. "Don't ask me so many questions at once!" She said, putting the cup down. It was burning her hands.
"We can discuss witch strategy to a limit. You're right, we don't know where to look for. They just appear. But I have noticed some patterns." She said, taking out a Mitakihara map from her bag. "There seem to be four phases to the witch's appearances." She pointed the red circles she'd drawn on the map earlier.
First, they'd appear in the residential area
Next, around the school and business area (The park where they'd seen the witch the night before was a part of this zone)
Then they would be at the industrial zone
And finally in the shopping district and mall.
"It has been so for the last month or so. Next, there should be a witch in the factories area! We should focus on patrolling around there." She took another sip of the tea. "Also, I have a very considerable collection of witch cards, counting witches and familiars it probably surpasses 300 cards. So, the likeliness isn't that short, I have been fighting for a very long time. And yes, I'm hungry. I haven't eaten anything since lunchtime!" She said with a grin.
"Oh, right. I was meaning to ask you something, but your hoard of fangirls this morning made me forget. Did Inkyu tell you something bad about me?" Her grin disappeared, totally. She looked around, but there were no signs of the devilish Incubator.

[Shaddow]

Leon looked at the map on the table, all the locations and red dots made him a little dizzy. "Er...right....industrial." He stood up and walked into the kitchen as they were talking. He pulled the lid off a few juicy hamburgers he had been cooking, the delay had not really made them any worse. He set them on some buns and put ketchup and pickles on each.

He walked back into the visiting room and set them down. "American style hamburgers, I promised you American food, right?" He sat down again and took a sip of his tea, it was a bit bitter for his taste, but he would get used to it. "Did you ask me something while I was in the kitchen? I don't think I heard you." He waited to eat his burger until she took a bite, he wanted to know what she thought.

[Dragoncookie]

Erin looked at the burger and took a hungry bite.
"Waah~ It's great!" She said after swallowing it. She had never had a burger before- her friends who went to fast food places had them all the time, but she didn't go there. The food was too fat. Besides, this one was homemade- a lot more genuine. And tasty.
"Oh right, I did ask you something. Inkyu... Did he come here last night or was he just trying to annoy me? I didn't want to break it off to you this soon, but at least please be careful when believing in something that an Incubator says. They can be very manipulative, and even though they may not lie, they will at least ommit facts. A lot!" She warned him, eating more of her burger.
"Do you wanna go patrolling today? It's only been a day since we've killed Gertrud. Most likely there are no new witches appearing." She didn't really feel like going out again to trip on her own feet. Besides, if they ran into untrusty Magi, it could be dangerous.

[Shaddow]

Leon took a bite of his own burger, it was well made if he did say so himself. It reminded him of home, of New Jersey and his mother's cooking. He looked at Erin-Senpai as she asked her questions. "Inkyu? I don't trust him at all, he's been very....evasive about my questions, but yes he did try to warn me about you, as if I couldn't take care of myself."

Leon sat back and looked at Erin-Senpai, she was exhausted and not hiding it well. "No, I don't think we need to patrol, not tonight. I'm positive everything is fine. How about we do our homework instead? I'm so far behind everyone else in everything but English!" He laughed and smiled at her.

[Dragoncookie]

Erin finished the burger and licked her lips. "He's not that bad, really. He can be REALLY manipulative, but also helpful. I don't know what to think of him anymore, but pretty much all he wants is to first make a close group of friendly Magi and then just throw them all against each other." She said, thinking about how easier it would make for those Magi to become Witches. If any more Magi that were close to Erin became a Witch, she'd just break her Soul Gem. She'd lose all her will to live, but wouldn't let Inkyu win, anyway. It seemed a nice plan.
"Oh, right, I have a ton of homework for tomorrow! I always leave things for the last minute, haha. Just got to get my school stuff." She got near the window and prepared to use summoning magic and say Accio! as a kind of little joke, but then Inkyu appeared with her schoolbag on his mouth.
"You need this, right?" He said, with his tail wagging and a sweet expression- the only one he ever made. Erin knew he didn't feel it though. She didn't think he felt anything.
"Well, yes. Thanks, Inkyu. Now, be a good Incubator and go fall of the highest building you can find." She snatched the bag from his mouth and tossed him away. He didn't offer any resistence. He never did. Even if he died, he would just spawn a new body, and (disgustingly) eat the dead one.

[Shaddow]

Leon chuckled as he saw the interaction. "I wish I could keep him from getting in my house, but I never even know he's there until it's too late." He reached over and pulled his own bag out. He was struggling with his Japanese lessons and the most diabolical of all courses, math. Math was the bane of his high school existence, he was convinced it was created by a witch.

He flopped down on the floor and put his arm over his eyes. "Why?! Why does math exist? I hate it!" He laid on the ground for a moment longer, over dramatizing the situation as much as he could. "Are you any good at math, Senpai?" He sat up and look at her hopefully.

[Dragoncookie]

"I used to make a binding spell to undesired intruders, but it corrupted my soul gem in just a few hours. So now, I lock my window. It's hilarious seeing Inkyu crash against it!" Erin laughed with an evil tone. She took her History book out. "Are you kidding? I love math! It's so exact and precise~ it's never mistaken. You can predict almost anything mathematically. I adore it. Do you need help at it? Or, like anything else?" She looked at him almost pitifully. She knew how math could be difficult, but she had always loved it. She didn't know how other kids could hate it.
But, History was different. Erin hated History. Mostly it was because of her teacher, who was a complete idiot, but Erin didn't understand why they had to know every single little detail from whatever happened in the past. Wasn't it just that, the past? Sure, knowing an overall of the things was good, so they wouldn't repeat their mistakes, but mostly she felt like she was wasting time. Precious time she could be using to hunt witches and help people.
"I hate History, though." She said, narrowing her eyes.

[Shaddow]

Leon flopped back down as she agreed to help him with math, but then sat upright rigidly as she spoke again. "What? You hate History? No. No. No! Senpai! You need history!" He stood up, suddenly passionate. "Do you not understand how awesome it is to see what we've done over the years? How far we've come as a people?"

He started walking around the room, his arms moving with every word. "We would not be nearly where we are today if we didn't understand what had happened in the past. Did you know that a lot of important inventions today were discovered after looking at the past? You realize we would not have cell phones if we did not look at how things worked in the past." He sat down on the couch, and leaned forward, looking at her intently.

"Looking at the past shows the need we have to fill in our modern lives, it's what leads us to the future!" His eyes shined with his passion as he waited for a reply.

[Dragoncookie]

Erin let out a giggle.
"You're right. It's our history that makes us who we are. Without a past, we'd have no future, am I right? But, sadly, even if I wanted, I couldn't love History. My teacher is evil. I get lower grades on History than everything else... I'd rather stick with the preciseness of Maths. And my Maths teacher is so nice to us. I usually find her at the mall and we chat a lot. She's really awesome. And besides, with us being Magi, we don't have a lot of need of, well, whatever, really. I suppose PE is helpful. But, going to school gets a tidbit pointless, in my opinion." She looked at her History notebook.
"This is boring. I usually just bribe my brother and he does all my History homework for me, anyway." She said telepathically.
"Oh, right, you needed help with Math? We can make a fair trade, I help you with Math and you help me with History!" She said, grinning.

[Shaddow]

"Sounds like a fair trade!" He said grinning. "Oh right, I made a cheesecake for desert! I hope you are still hungry!" He went into the kitchen and pulled out the chilled cheesecake and laid it on the table. "Ok, so I have trouble with this question/" He pulled out the math book and pointed to the very first question. "And...er...all the ones after."

He laughed a bit and scratched the back of his head. "We may not be able to cover this, don't want to keep you out too late."

[Dragoncookie]

"Oh, cheesecake!" She smiled, pretending to be excited, but a chill ran down her spine.
She remembered the cards she'd gotten from her friend Koyuki. They were of Charlotte, the dessert witch, who loved cheesecake but could not create any, and her minions. That had been the last time they talked, before Koyuki had turned into a Witch. For a couple months after, Erin couldn't look at any kind of sweets or cheese without having a huge stomach ache and wanting to puke.
Anyway, she wasn't gonna be rude. Besides, it had been a long time ago, she had to leave those things behind.
"Well, here" Erin said, pointing at the first question. "You have to use trigonometry and the rules of angles to calculate..." She gave him a thorough explanation, using a bunch of difficult words and weird ways to calculate. She liked thinking out of the box, and created her own calculating methods.
"Well, I can leave at any time, my parents are used to me being out late, and accept that surprisingly well. Something about "Our girl is growing up" or whatever." She shrugged and shook her head. Adults could be so weird sometimes. Even stranger than a witch's familiar.

[Shaddow]

Leon looked confused at all the huge words being thrown his way. "Er...Senpai, are you speaking Japanese?" After a few moments she spoke about family again. Leon smiled sadly, but looked down at his paper so she wouldn't notice. "Family, huh." He thought back to the last thing he had said to his mother before he had left:

"Mom, I'm not a kid anymore! I have to go to Japan with Dad! I can't stay around with all my infamy!"

She looked at him, tears in her eyes but a smile on her face. Her brown hair tied in a small braid down her right shoulder. "Leon. I'm proud of you for making this decision, I'm going to miss you, but I'm sure you'll be fine!" She turned around and wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Mom....I..." He started, but something caught his eye and distracted him, it was a small rat looking creature. What? Did I really just see that? He looked again, but it was gone. When he looked up his mom was back to her normal self, the generous and kind smile on her face, hiding the pain she was obviously feeling.

Leon blinked a few times, pulling himself back to the present. "Senpai, was it hard? Being a magi for so long, I mean?"

[Dragoncookie]

She blinked her eyes. "Huh. Sorry about that, I guess I could try to explain it more simply." She then made a mental note not to speak of any family-related business when with Leon.
"Well, yes. It was very difficult. I had some times when I really tought of tossing my Soul Gem out the window and let it break. But thankfully, I didn't do so!" She remembered the girl she was before contracting. So frail, like she was made of glass. In fact, her bones were about as weak as glass. She lived a miserable life, and being a Magi had improved it. Despite all the things she'd seen, it was still better than being a useless frail girl. And that was one of the reasons why she wouldn't die so easily. She had make a worthy wish.
All of a sudden, she remembered the words that Inkyu had told her the night before:
The longer you keep the Magi's greatest secret to yourself, the more despair that boy will fall into after he finds out. Do you intend to kill him?
"H-hey, Kyrin-kun. There is something that I need to tell you." She started, and took a deep breath. "But, it's not going to be easy to hear, or accept. However, it's the truth." She could feel her heartbeat quickening. She remembered how she felt when she found out. She killed every copy of Inkyu she could find around town for about a month.

[Shaddow]

Leon was busy writing down numbers and formulas as fast as he could, it was really hard to keep up with Senpai's instructions, even when she was in 'easy mode'. After a moment he set down his pen and looked up at her, she had a very serious look on her face and he knew that this was important.

He leaned forward and sat with the utmost attention. Maybe she is going to confess to me? That's pretty quick! Well, I am charming and good looking, so why wouldn't she? Oh well, let's see what she has to say! "What is it Senpai?"
