"I'd like to see you slide down five floors silently!" Erin thought as she received the girl Leon had called Aria-chan.
"Are you okay?" Erin asked warmly.
The girl quickly nodded, nervous.
"Everything's okay now, you'll be home in a minute." Erin said, trying to comfort the girl, but only paying attention to the fight.
"That idiot... One day he's gonna get hurt badly because of his heroic acts..." She mumbled. Sometimes heroes could be so stupid. Like their bravery clouded their reasoning.

[Shaddow]

Bravery was clouding his reasoning. Leon wasn't finishing the fight as quickly as he could have. He was taking his time, trying not to hurt them too badly. He slid under an awkwardly thrown punch and kicked one goon in the back of the knee, knocking him to the ground. He jumped up and landed on the back of another, slamming him into the dirt.

"C'mon guys, is that the best you got?" One of the biker's got really angry at that point. "Boys! Let's kill this scum!" He pulled out a switch blade as the others began to pull out standard gang member weapons.

Leon grinned at them and stood, nonchalantly, waiting for the attack. "Weapons? That's cute."

[Dragoncookie]

"Oh my GOD what the hell are you gonna be okay Leon-kun? I mean Kyrin-kun." Erin thought, worried. "Wait, what am I saying? Of course you are." She struggled to repress an 'I want them to be ashamed by getting beaten up by a girl' thought.
"I appreciate that you're not hurting them too badly, but why?" Her eyes were glued to the fight. "They're the bad guys here. They hit you first and then they threatened you with their little weapons. Why not just beat them up hard?" She frowned.

[Shaddow]

Leon tilted his head back and grinned at the shadows. What would be the fun in that? Also, they might be jerks but they are still human. A hero never kills another person! He dodged to the side, barely moving his head as a pipe came whizzing by.

He kicked his foot up and disarmed the attacker, causing the pipe to land on the head of another goon, knocking him out. "Oops, sorry about that, man." He slid back as a knife swiped at his throat, and kicked the man in the stomach, sending him flying back into another.

"Only three of you left, do you still want to take me on?" The goons started to look at each other nervously, what would they do next?

[Dragoncookie]

"Maybe they'll run away scared and I can punch them when they get here!" Erin thought, eager.
She could see, even from a distance, that the goons were scared. She didn't like to use violence on non-magical beings, but those gangsters had been scaring poor Aria-chan. And they were not going to get away with it.
"Nice hits! You've scared them completely now." Erin said, biting her lip like a kid.
"It's always hilarious when someone misjudges our strength!" She smirked, thinking of the guy she'd beaten up to save that junior girl.

[Shaddow]

No, Erin-Senpai, it's not like that at all. He took a couple of steps forward, causing the remaining goons to scatter. We are heroes, we are stronger than the normal person, it's our duty to protect the weak and help the innocent, but we should never use our full powers against another person, or even a bit of our power if we can help it.

He walked up to the cave and looked down at Aria-chan. "Are you going to be alright getting home, or do you want us to walk with you?"

The girl shook her head and stood up. "Thank you, Kyrin-kun, but I'll be ok." She smiled at him shyly. "I'll see you at school tomorrow!" She ran off, her hair bouncing as she ran.

He turned towards Erin-Senpai. "I didn't use any magic while fighting them, Senpai." He held up his ring for her to see. It had not changed since their fight with the witch. "I understand that magic is what makes you strong, but you have to learn to control it, if you cannot fight without it, then let me protect you."

[Dragoncookie]

"Don't cut my fun, Mr. Charming-Good-Looking-Hero! I don't go around beating up people because I feel like. I don't even like hitting people. It's just nice to hit someone that deserves it once in a while." Erin blushed, embarrased for being lectured by Leon. "Besides, I know how to control my magic, and I don't need it for physical strength... But I'm sorry, I suppose I was wrong. I didn't offend you, did I, Leon-kun?" She apologized, remembering what her mother had told her: "A smart person is never stubborn and admits their mistakes."
"Well, I have to go now. Got five floors to climb." She grinned and waved him goodbye as she ran off.
"See you tomorrow, Leon-kun! Good luck chasing off the girls!"
Back at her home, she climbed up the building supporting herself on the windows. Thankfully, nobody saw her. Back inside her room, she noticed it was kind of messy.
"Must've been a breeze." She said, ignoring it. However, something quickly caught her attention. Looking inside her tipped-over box of cards, she noticed something was missing.
"Oh, no. The grief seed of the shoes witch is gone!"

[Shaddow]

Leon grinned as he watched Erin-Senpai leave. Goodnight Senpai. He ran home quickly, still burning with adrenaline from the fight. He walked inside and stopped, someone was there.

He froze, waiting for his eyes to adjust to the darkness. Something occurred to him...Erin! Senpai! Are you alright?

[Dragoncookie]

"No... Not fine at all! My most dangerous grief seed was stolen! If it's refilled with corruption, the witch will appear again!" She answered, still searching frantically for the seed. Maybe it was just misplaced. She hoped so. Because deep inside, Erin knew she would most likely despair if she had to kill Koyuki again.

[Shaddow]

I'll be there as quickly as I can, I just have something to take care of first. He stepped forward into the hall and covered his eyes, he quickly hit the switch, flooding the room with light. The bright flash blinded the foe, as Leon tackled them to the ground. "Don't move and you won't get hurt."

A knee struck him in the side, causing him to double over in pain. Whoever this was, they were strong. His eyes had not quite adjusted to the sudden light, even though he was prepared. He assumed the assailant fared worse. He grabbed the intruder and threw them into the wall. Odd, they were really light.

"I don't want to hurt you, just give up." He said as he stood up and his eyes slowly began to adjust to the light.

[Dragoncookie]

Erin lifted her head from the mess of books she was looking into, sensing some sort of disturbance.
"Is everything okay, Leon-kun?" she asked, returning to her frantic search after a moment.
Her room was a mess, she'd taken almost everything out of their proper place to scan it thoroughly. With each passing minute, she became more and more frightened. The grief seed wouldn't move on its own. If it wasn't there, someone had most likely taken it.

[Shaddow]

Leon blinked twice clearing away the remnants of the light. "Wait. You're a girl?" No wonder she was so light, it was a girl, and a young one, she was maybe twelve. "What are you doing here kid?"

She said nothing, her eyes were overshadowed and looked life-less. What was wrong with her? He looked into her hand and noticed something. She had the grief seed that Erin-Senpai had given him. "Hey! That's mine. Give it back!" He launched himself forward and tried to grab the girl.

She jumped on him and launched towards the window. "Damn it!" Sorry Senpai, I'm a little busy at the moment, nothing I can't handle.

[Dragoncookie]

"Okay then, I'll keep searching. Call me if you need help." Erin kept digging through her things, finding stuff she thought had lost years ago, like a worn out doll and a bunch of pictures of her and Koyuki.
Then she stopped. The grief seed had clearly been stolen, so she might as well tidy up her stuff. Using magic to return everything to their proper shelf, drawer or box, she began wondering: who had taken her grief seed, and why? The most obvious answer made her fearful. It'd be dangerous, very dangerous.

[Shaddow]

Leon jumped at the girl again, and missed. She jumped out of the window and vanished into the night. She was gone, Leon sighed. Senpai, we might have a problem, how are things on your end? He looked back in his apartment, it was trashed. He had just cleaned it up today, now he was going to have to do it again.

He sat down on the couch, exhausted. Why would someone steal a grief seed?

[Dragoncookie]

"Terrible. My grief seed has definitely been stolen, and it's a really dangerous one. I'll be there in a second." She said, and told her parents she was feeling a little sick so she wasn't gonna have dinner. Locking her door again, she jumped through the window again.
Her trip down was a lot harder than the one before, since there was no light and she couldn't see a thing. Ignoring the bruises in her arms, she ran to Leon's house, and rang the bell some four times, impatient.

[Shaddow]

Wait, you had yours stolen too? Some kid stole the one you had given me. Something was wrong with her though, she seemed....out of it. He picked up the room quickly, throwing away the ruined cheesecake. It had been smashed in the scuffle and he realized he had gotten some on his jacket. I don't know what is going on, do you have any clue?

[Dragoncookie]

"Someone or something is trying to get us killed. There was a girl that seemed out of it?" She sighed and knocked. "Most likely being controlled, and the witch they stole from me can do that. She just needed to hatch... It was so dumb to keep her, I should've crushed that seed the moment I saw it! Now, if you'd just open the door, please?" She rang once more, keeping her finger in the button for about ten seconds. She was annoyed, tired and cranky. She definitely did not want to fight a witch.

[Shaddow]

Leon suddenly realized that the annoying sound was his doorbell. Sorry Senpai, I didn't realize I had a doorbell. He opened the door for Erin, Senpai, letting her in. "You look tired Senpai, come in, rest a bit." He poured her some fresh tea. "Tell me about this witch, why did you still have her grief seed? Why don't you tell me what's going on?"

[Dragoncookie]

"..." Erin walked around in circles, a nervous stomach ache growing.
"I still have her seed because I never used it. I didn't want to... I kept it as a memory, too." she sat down. "Because, you know, that seed belonged to a friend of mine. Just about the only friend I ever had, besides you. But I was stupid, and let her become a witch." Erin held back her tears. She had cried enough today. Not making eye contact with Leon, she continued. "I kept her grief seed because I had stupid hopes that I'd find a way to revert the seeding process and bring her back to life." She looked down, playing with her ring. "It was stupid, I know."
Erin sighed. "What are we going to do? I'm too tired for a witch fight."

[Shaddow]

Leon shook his head. "That's heavy, really heavy." He sat down on the coach, next to Erin-Senpai. "No. We will do nothing tonight, whatever is going to happen will not be tonight. I can tell that much at least." He looked out the window, the crescent moon was not giving off a lot of light and the city looked dark, bleak even.

"I think we should get some rest, it's the best course of action. Worrying about this tonight is only going to exhaust you." He stood up and walked to his window. "I don't want to send you home, it's cold and dark and you are so tired that I can feel it like a brick wall. Why don't you stay here tonight? We can walk to school together tomorrow." For once, his intentions were completely pure, it felt odd, being so serious.
