((FIVE PAGES!!!!))

Izar beamed and looked over his shoulder at Masinori. "Thank you." He said happy to have something other than the water to think about. He grinned and Spun slightly on the sand so that he was facing Masinori. He couldn't do anything but smile at times like this. He always was stiff and queasy around water but with Masinori he was able to forget about it. He could pretend he was in a waterless desert and the lapping of the waves was the wind moving the dunes. So far this was the most comfortable he had ever been around water. He loved the way Masinori had that effect on him. It made him feel invincible like he could do anything, even face water... well... maybe not. He laughed to himself.

Izar preferred to walk at the beach away from the water. It gave him time to think and it took his mind off of the water. Izar bit his lip slightly as Masinori frowned. He shrugged slightly he had bitter sarcasm. He usually didn't use it when he was with Masinori but it had just slipped out that time, like a force of habit. He unconsciously spun a little bit of sand in his hand as he looked out at the sea it's weight and foreboding coming back into his mind. He felt like he was being strangled. He shook his head slightly and took hold of Masinori's hand with the one not spinning sand. He watched the sand circle. He hummed slightly to himself and leaned against Masinori's shoulder until they started to walk.

Izar;s brow furrowed with thought. "That doesn't sound very good." He said redundantly. "You said she reads thoughts? Can a person really work their own power against you in a dream?" He knew he used his power but he would never dream of using against Masinori. Izar gave him a jokingly criticizing look, "Wow, she does sound desperate, what'd you do?" He grinned teasingly, "Dump her then go gay?" He laughed at his own joke even though this was far from a laughing matter. He sobered and shook his head, "That's not good though." He smiled, "Relax I was kidding." He leaned in for a second and kissed him gently ignoring the few people around them. "Does that make it better?" He grinned slyly.

Izar frowned in concentration. "That does cause worry. Not just worry but extreme worry." He shook his head, "There is no telling what she could do." Izar nodded thinking about it. It was based on the mind where as Izar's was physical manipulation of winds and air. He shrugged it off he though it might be a little creepy to go into another persons conscious. Izar smiled, "That's an understatement." He smiled at his comment about implied interest. Izar shrugged, "Maybe she just now figured out how to lure you to her. Or maybe you just wandered into the right dream." He felt a faint pang of jealousy. He felt slightly dizzy thinking of Masinori with anyone else. Izar's jealousy vanished with his next comment, "That's a relief. You know, sometimes I wonder if we are somehow connected, like mentally..." He paused and shook his head, "Nah, never mind." He shook his head again. He wrinkled his nose teasingly, "Don't do that."

He cocked his head to the side as he stopped and face him. Listening to Masinori made his mind work like it was floating. He imagined a spider with Masinori's head trapped in a ball of thread. It was a comical picture but as Masinori explained himself more he couldn't fine a joke in it. Izar rubbed Masinori's back and hugged him tightly. He put a hand on his cheek. "If you're trapped I'll cut you out. And I won't let the bigger spiders eat you." He said a soft smile on his lips. He tried to calm him. The frantic face Masinori had made Izar fear the worst. He stroked Masinori's cheek soothingly. "If your choices, and my choices, have endangered us, then we will have to deal with it as it comes." He smiled, "The guild has a saying, 'Don't wait for trouble hiding in a basement, live to the fullest until it comes, and overcome it.'" He smiled and ran his hand gently though Masinori's hair. "We can't live fearing what might happen." He smiled softly and looked into Masinori's dark eyes. He loved the way they caught the light just right letting the blue shine through just enough to look like a sapphire hiding in the shadows.

((DANG! HIGH FIVE!))

“She doesn’t read thoughts, she influences them you could say. Creates them perhaps…so that you think it’s your own thought or impulse. I’m not sure how she could hear my thoughts when I went into her dream…” He said, puzzled. “Maybe it’s just something that comes with her power…well, I suppose they could now that you mention it.” His eyebrows knit together and he shifted his weight. That was pretty bad. Masinori laughed at Izar despite himself. “I know, not at all.” It was hard to be serious or really worried when he was laughing with Izar. How could there be evil in the world at times like these? He told him he was kidding and leaned in to kiss him. “I don’t know, I need more convincing.” Masinori smiled slyly as well and kissed him again. He could probably go on kissing him and starve to near death and not notice.

“Or what she could get someone else to do.” Masi offered, she didn’t have to lift a finger if she didn’t want to. But it seemed like she did want to. These abilities were a dangerous thing in the wrong hands. He was beginning to see that increasingly as of late. “It was most likely that she was someone familiar and when I dreamwalk I usually look for a familiar place, like a friend or someone I’ve met. She just happened to be asleep then. Or it could be more than that. She could’ve been looking for me.” It was after all, not the most common time to be sleeping for most. Most people worked. It was fairly early in the day, but still.

“No! Don’t dismiss it. Anything is possible. I feel that way sometimes too. I hope so, I hope we’re connected as many ways as possible.” He smiled, of course he’d felt that way. Sometimes they communicated like they could read each other’s minds, but then there was the occasions when one would take someone the other said the wrong way…usually this happened based on insecurities in themselves, and not a lack of being connected to the other. “Don’t do that.” Izar wrinkled his nose. Masinori laughed back but he found himself biting his tongue to make sure it was still there, just reflexively.

“If you’re trapped I’ll cut you out.” He said sweetly. He always had something sweet and comforting to say to cheer Masi up. “If your choices and my choices have endangered us, then we will have to deal with it as it comes.” Masinori gave a firm nod of agreement. There he went again. He kept on putting all the weight of the relationship on himself, and Izar kept reminding him that he wanted to be there to take care of Masinori too, not just the other way around. He couldn’t get used to that, and was thankful for the reminders. “That’s a good saying. I couldn’t agree more. And we will overcome anything that comes our way. Together.” He smiled and wound his fingers in Izar’s. They looked into each other’s eyes and Masinori imagined the world there, between the Sakura trees, inside Izar’s head. That was there world and he would do anything to protect it from intruders.

((sorry it’s kinda short))

[izar]

((High five for five! lol))

Izar shook his head, "So there is no way to tell if it is her manipulating your thoughts or yourself." He nodded to himself that was a complicated thing. "Can she do that because aren't dreams never, you know, realistic?" He asked hoping that Masinori would be the dream expert. Izar smiled, success, he got Masinori laughing. He smiled, it was good to be able to laugh in the face of danger. Izar felt his senses heighten as though he was about to be attacked. It was an odd sort of exhilaration. Like you just became superhuman or something. He laughed and leaned into Masinori's kiss. "Convinced?" He asked pulling away for a moment then kissing him again.

Izar nodded, grim for a moment. "So anyone could be someone she sent," He said his suspiciousness over taking him. He gave everyone at the beach a look over. "Well, I think we're safe here." He said with a wink and a smile. "Hmm, if it's the last option then I think we're in trouble." He thought about it. "However, you might just have to be careful where you wander." He didn't like to be overbearing but if it was dangerous for him Izar didn't want anything to happen to him. He wondered slightly if she had called Masinori there. That would be bad, because that would mean that she could do it again. He thought for a moment.

Izar smiled and leaned against Masinori again. He was glad that he felt that way. He grinned, "I think we are, love." Izar's eyes glittered when he said this. Sometimes he felt Masinori could read his mind. He pulled at Masinori's hand to keep them walking and putting more distance between him and the water. Izar, despite the wet scenery was happy to be here. It took his mind off of guild matters and off of anything that was stressful. He didn't like having to worry about something. For this weekend he was supposed to be worry free. He smiled and tried to shake the bad news from his mind. However, he didn't think this problem would wait for his vacation to end.

He wanted Masinori to relax a little bit. He wished Masinori wouldn't try to take the weight of the world on his shoulders. He just wanted to remind him that he was there to help him carry the load. Izar smiled slyly. He looked down at their twined hands and smiled. "Together," he repeated. He raised an eyebrow and then without warning tackled him. He laughed as they fell to the ground. He tapped Masinori's nose, "So let's not worry. What will come will come. We're here to have fun," he said the last part in mock sternness. "And we're going to have fun," he winked and laughed. He just laid there having no intentions of letting Masinori up. He smiled and crossed his arms over Masinori's chest and rested his chin on it.

[masinorimoriyama]

“I suppose I wouldn’t know…” He thought to himself looking blankly at a playground up ahead. It looked like an old wooden pirate ship. Izar was very intuitive to have assumed that, even if it was unsettling. Then he realized he was leaving Izar to answer his own questions. He came back to reality. 'I suppose I wouldn't know." He repeated out loud. “Well, for me going into a dream is realistic. It’s like I’ve stepped into another dimension. Dreamtime. It’s as though I'm in another world existing between and at the same time as ours. But, for the dreamer I don’t know, I suppose it’s just like a regular dream…” He felt kind of ignorant not knowing how to properly explain it. It was just something he knew was a part of him, and didn’t know how or why for the most part. He just went and did. His concentrated was broken when Izar kissed him, but he was brought back at what he said next. “Well that’s enough to cause paranoia.” He said, blinking several times. Izar looked over the beach, scanning it for her zombies. “Well I think we’re safe here.” He winked.

Masinori nodded, " I’ll be careful.” He assured him, thinking it was cute that he was concerned, but that he didn't do very much wandering in real life. Then he remembered a certain occasion where he went traipsing into the fields to see who a stranger was. That could've not ended as well as it did. And it ended having to escape with their lives. He wasn’t really sure what the worst Orihime could do was exactly. Something he didn’t want to obviously, but other than that he didn’t know what she was capable of or why she’d have it in for him. He was more irritated and disgusted by her than afraid. If anything Calliga should’ve caused him more worry, but he was trying to do what Izar and the Guild suggested. To live and not live in fear. Masinori smiled, he thought so too, and hoped their connection would become stronger and stronger over time. They walked hand in hand further away from the water. Masinori smirked at how much distance Izar felt he needed to put between him and the waves. He was happy he could bring a smile to his face in the midst of worries and water. If he could do that, surely he could take on any trouble, any petty girl or extremist that came his way. He looked over at Izar out of the corner of his eye as they walked, he looked happy, and it was because of him. He remembered the awe he’d felt when he first showed him his wings. He brought happiness to the divine being that was Izar.

Izar calmly looked at their hands, “Together.” He said, and suddenly Masinori found himself on the ground. “Ooomph.” He let out and looked up at him, blowing a strand of golden brown hair out of his face. It had been dyed black when they first met...long jagged, with blonde streaks. He was trapped, that seemed to be happening increasingly as of late, only this time he was ok with it. Izar touched his nose, and he reflexively crinkled up his face. “And we‘re going to have fun.” Masi raised an eyebrow, “I agree, but what kind of fun did you have in mind, there are children around.” Masinori laughed mischievously, when he was around Izar, he himself was like a child. He often wondered what Izar would think if he observed him around other people. Izar crossed his arms and rested his head on his chest. He breathed evenly and smiled down into his eyes. He thought of clouds and of wind. He put his hand out and touched his eyelashes again and let out a sort of giggle-laugh as they tickled his finger. “Your eyelashes are pretty.” He said, explaining himself.

[izar]

There was a small ship shaped playground. Izar cocked his head at it. That was new. Izar nodded slightly, "So, dreams are not realistic but they are reality...?" He said his voice questioning revealing he had no idea what he just said. He felt like his brain just exploded. He blinked a few time. "Another world? That makes it easier to understand." He laughed, "That was about to make my brain go kaboom!" He smiled imitating an explosion with his hands. Izar chuckled, "If that doesn't I don't know what will." He agreed, it was enough to make even the most relaxed person paranoid. He shook his head for a moment trying to get the confusing dream talk out of his mind.

Izar kicked a little bit of sand as he went along. He smiled happy to hear that Masinori would be careful. That would be frightening. To be stuck in a dream. It would almost be like being in a coma. Especially if one had a power like the girl's. That was trouble waiting to happen. She could posses and lead an army of drones if she was powerful enough. Izar shuttered to think. There was already an untainted hunting group. The last thing they needs were armies marching on each other. The guild would be split and might not survive. Again living in fear wasn't the way Izar wanted to go out. Izar spared a glace at the waves. He saw red for a moment and looked away, there could always be a giant tsunami and everyone could just die. That was the purpose of water, death and destruction.

Izar beamed happily. He liked being impulsive. It was the kind of feeling that you got when you spontaneously ran across the street without waiting for a crosswalk. He laughed and shook his finger at Masinori. He gave him a sly glance but didn't move. Izar closed his eyes slightly and felt his breath synchronize with Masinori's and the rhythmic rising and falling of Masinori's chest. He opened one eye, the one that he wasn't touching and gave him a quizzical look. He smiled and closed his eyes again. "Thank you." He grinned and fluttered this eyelashes bushing them quickly against Masinori's finger. He giggled sightly, surprising himself. A sylph came to rest at his ear. He smiled they seemed to be drawn to him, they were very useful elementals but could appear randomly and without warning. Suddenly and impulsively Izar pushed himself up to his feet and touched Masinori's arm, "Tag! You're it!" He laughed.

[masinorimoriyama]

Masinori laughed, it wasn’t coming out right. “Eh, for me that’s sort of how it is. Like if a bunch of dreamwalkers all met up with each other on that plane…” He scrunched up his face, “It’s hard to explain, sorry.” He smiled. “That was about to make my brain go kaboom!” Masinori gave him a playful shove. He was too adorable, it made him want to grab him and pinch his cheeks or something. “It would be interesting to meet a bunch of people with the same ability…see what they’ve learned about themselves, what you can learn from one another. Have you ever met another Aerokinetic?” It was weird getting used to calling him that and not his angel or his bird. But that was the proper name for it he supposed.

They laid down after Izar tackled him. Izar bat his eyelashes and the two of them laughed. “It’s one of those little elementals isn’t it?” Masinori asked. “I can sense another presence, but I can’t see them. It’s strange.” It was like being in a house where the tv was on. You could kind of feel it/hear the electricity. Izar stood suddenly and Masi looked up curiously and rose to his knees. “Tag!” He shouted and started running. Masi sighed and stood up as he ran. He just quirked a brow and watched him. “Not this again, I’ve already caught you.” He pouted as he shrunk from view. He had started to walk in the general direction Izar had run in, not wanting to run, but now seeing that he had to he quickened his pace.

He didn’t see him now. “Izar?” He asked loudly, pausing for a moment. He had run into a wooded area and it was somewhat creepy. He could’ve sworn he heard Izar laugh, and it gave him a chill, as he remembered his dream. He stopped and turned around, he was already in pretty far. It felt eerie. “Please come out.” He said seriously. “Not to be a jerk or anything, but I’m not going to chase you any further and I‘d rather not have to because this place is weird.” He talked plainly like he was certain Izar was nearby, but he wasn’t entirely sure that he was. He wasn’t afraid, he knew nothing would happen, but the fact that it reminded him of his dream made him not want to be standing there alone or running after him.

((Do you by any chance want to either skip past the visit or start a new rp pretty soon? I mean unless you have ideas then that's fine ))

[izar]

((nope that is fine with me. By the way I'm going away for a week T__T))

He smiled, it was hard to explain and he was just giving him a hard time. He grinned when he shoved him slightly. He laughed staggering slightly to the side. He smiled, "Yeah, that would be amazing. Get a lot of elemental people together in one place, we might be able to destroy the world." He laughed, "That might be why we haven't met." Izar nodded, "Only one. He was my teacher, he taught me everything I know." He smiled happily, he had a lot of respect for him. "He was the one who taught me how to use Need and gave her to me." He had left her at home, people didn't much think well of large swords on beaches. "I know not everyones wings are the same. His were tawny colored."

Izar nodded, "She's complaining about the undines." He laughed. Izar cocked his head, "I don't know I guess I've been able to see them it's hard to imagine them, not here." Izar laughed and looked back at him. He was moving across the sand quicker than Masinori. "That was yesterday, love," he teased. He headed for the woods he laughed the woods could be a good place to hide. He trees closed in over him. He stopped suddenly. There was something terribly wrong. Everything was quiet. There were absolutely no sounds. It was unsettling. There were no birds. He could see or feel any elementals . Something bad was happening. He heard Masinori faintly behind him. He ignored it and slid off his shirt and stuck it in his belt. He opened his wings. He didn't want to risk ripping his shirt for no reason.

Izar ignored the calls behind him and slipped easily into the branches. He heard a faint sound. Sobbing? He went through the top of the trees and looked down. He crouched slightly. It was a woman, she was dirty and wounded. He heard a twig snap and his head shot up to a place in the distance. There was a rush of air and Izar diverted it away from the woman. He peered through the branches, it was an arrow. Someone was hunting her? He thought of Masinori in a panic. He went through the trees as quickly as he could and he found Masinori. He caught the the last part of his sentence. He didn't have his weapons on him. He dropped down from the canopy behind Masinori.

He put one hand over his mouth, "Shhh," He whispered. He slowly released him when he was sure Masinori wouldn't yell in surprise. He looked out at the woods. "Someone here is making the birds scared." He said low it was almost as if he wasn't speaking at all. He had internal conflict, to leave and have fun at the beach, but he didn't think he could leave that girl out there. He was surprised he hadn't gotten a call yet. He wanted to get Masinori out of here, "We should get out of here." He said but his wings were braced and he was listening to the wind. There was a rush of air far off and a scream split the air. Too late. He was sure only Masinori and he were close enough to hear it. He folded his wings and pulled his shirt back on. "Ok, let's hurry and get out of here."

[masinorimoriyama]

((A week!! When will that happen?))

“Possibly so…get anyone with a lot of power together in a large group and there will probably be some trouble though.” Though dreamwalkers probably couldn‘t do a whole lot if you got them in a room together in realtime. “Oh, you’ve mentioned him before and I was very interested to hear more about him. I had no idea he had the same ability.” He said in genuine surprise. He listened attentively to Izar, and found out that his mentor had given him the sword he called Need, and he had wings too. That was unbelievable. He was both surprised and happy, happy to find more out about Izar. He always liked that. “The Undines?” Masinori asked curiously, but before he could get an answer, Izar was off playing tag with him again. He hated that game. He thought it was illogical to run away from someone you were hanging out with, and he wanted Izar there. He shrugged and went after him.

He didn’t hear Izar, but that eerie feeling remained there and he started to be able to hear his heart beating within him. He didn’t like that he wasn’t answering. He suddenly felt and heard movement behind him, but before he could react, a hand was over his mouth. “Shhh.” Izar whispered to him. He heaved a sigh of relief that he was ok, but then turned to see his wings were out. “Someone is making the birds scared.” He said very quietly. “We should get out of here.” He warned, Masinori was about to nod until he heard the scream. Izar folded his wings and replaced his shirt, he’d barely even realized he had it off.

“If someone if hurt we shouldn’t leave them there…" He whispered nervously. He did want to get out of there. He wanted for once to have a quiet day with Izar. Butwhat if no one had come that day in the square? He knew they'd both be dead… He thought about the person belonging to the scream, being dragged off and tortured until death. He winced. “Don’t you think we should make sure there is nothing we can do?” He asked. He knew it was foolish and dangerous, but if he left he’d remember that scream forever. He could tell by looking at Izar that it meant something. It wasn’t just some foolish girl being startled. Someone was in serious danger. He swore under his breath. When would it end?

[izar]

((Never fear... Izy is here! lol))

Izar shrugged, "I think a lot of of people together would be call for competition and that might not be safe for the world." Izar nodded vigorously, "I owe everything to him. When I got my power I was completely terrified and he helped me out a lot." He passed into the forest and the eerie silence made the hair on the back of his neck stand on end. There was nothing, no birds, no predators. Izar didn't want to deal with a murderer while he was on vacation. He didn't know if he could ignore it, but he could try. He was relieved to find Masinori and that he wasn't too far in. That would provide for a good escape. He didn't want to startle Masinori but he needed him to be quiet lest they draw attention.

Izar wanted to get out of here. But then the scream stole that chance. He tensed and looked into the wind feeling for something. He stretched his power to where the girl was. They had missed and gotten her leg. He used the wind to show a picture in his mind. He spun air around her like a shield at least until they got to her she would be safe. The wind would blow it off and away from her. It would work as long as said murderers didn't come in for a close kill. He looked at Masinori his eyes pleading to get out of there. Izar chewed his lip. Everything part of him wanted to go help her but every part of him didn't want Masinori near any danger.

Izar nodded, "Yes, she's still alive." Izar sighed and squeezed the bridge of his nose. He turned and then nodded. They would do everything that they could. "Stay close." He said and took his hand. He guided him to the clearing where she was. There were arrows littering the ground and two dark figures were walking down the hill to see why their prey hadn't died yet. He squeezed his hand then released it. "Tend to her." He said and pulled one of the arrows toward him with the wind. He tossed it in his hand for a moment then just let it go. It sped through the trees and toward the men. He smiled as one of them fell. He swiped his hand in a downward motion and their loosed arrows fell to the ground and rolled toward him. "Masinori, how is she? Can she walk?" He wasn't taking his eyes off of the man who was now kneeling over his fallen partner.

[masinorimoriyama]

Izar looked very focused, like he was concentrating on something. “Yes, she’s still alive.” He informed him. So there was still something they could do to help her situation. He nodded in response, and wanted to ask how he knew. Could he sense her, sense what was happening? He nodded again conceding as Izar took his hand and led him. It was best if he could sense what was going on anyway. “Tend to her.” Izar instructed him, squeezing his hand as he let go. Masinori was going to object to him moving away, worried about his well being. The image of him being shot because Masinori had charged off flashed through his head and he listened, but paid careful attention to his boyfriend’s movements to be sure nothing would happen to him. He glanced down at the girl and gingerly touched the arrow. She winced even though he applied no further pressure. It was stuck through the back of her calf. “I don’t think she should try, and I don’t think it would be wise to pull the arrow out ourselves lest she bleed out. I can carry her…”

The girl looked frightened out of her mind. Masinori’s calm unreadable nature could also be of some assistance here. “Try to remain calm, we’re here to help you. I have some numbing and pain killing things in my bag back in the car. We’ll take you to the emergency room and get this taken care of. It should be just fine. Soon this pain will be nothing more than a memory.” He smiled a peaceful reassuring smile, despite being nervous for their safety, and mainly Izar’s. He seemed to have it all under control though. He’d sent one of the men’s arrows back on them and the one was now distracted by the fallen frame of the other. He took a moment to allow himself to be genuinely impress with Izar. His ability was utterly amazing, his control, his talent, his skill, all blew Masinori away.

He waited to see what Izar wanted to do next. He realized that in this kind of situation it would be wisest for him to allow Izar to handle the more physical aspects. He was unarmed, and while he was good at martial arts, that wouldn’t help much where things like arrows and bullets were concerned. Masinori was good at hand to hand combat, healing with herbs, and seeing people’s dreams. He couldn’t stop arrows and bullets dead in their tracks like Izar could. Perhaps that was his problem before. He wanted the adventure, he wanted to be the hero. He wasn’t wise enough to realize that there were times when one needed to take a back seat and better the situation by offering the skills that they were best at.
