The next day- In Zephikiels garden during a fighting lesson.

"COme on Kato you have to do better then that" Aimi said as she blocked a blow from his staff. They were enjoying some time fighting, something she never got to do anymore, and she was winning.

"Aim's why dont you go easy on me this once" He asked, getting ready to strike at her again.

"hah, as if, You know I cant do that, even to my best friend" She said and swung her Selene, barely missing him. Her Eris wasnt far behind, and it knicked his thigh, ripping his black cargo pants.

"hey, the deal was no clothing killing" He said and struck her with his staff, catching her ankle. She fell backwards, and flipped back, standing back up but her ankle wasnt going to hold, and she fell down.

"I will get you for that" Aimi replied and sent a lightening bolt at him, and he blocked it, using earthen powers to bring up and shield him.

"Time" Raziel shouted from across the garden. "Winner is Kato" He said and ran towards him. Aimi tried to stand up again, but her ankle wasnt allowing any weight.

"I think its sprained" she said as Kato came over and picked her up, setting her on a bench so they could look at the now swollen appendage.

"It may be, Raziel can you heal it??" Kato asked as he touched it and Aimi gasped.

"yeah, hold on" he said and wrapped his hands around her ankle, allowing a bright light to fill his hands, and Aimi to fall asleep. Falling right onto Kato, her eyes, closed and her mouth slightly parted.

"why is it that every time we have to heal her she falls asleep" He asked to Raziel who looked over a Zaphikiel.

"Her father always did, its a seal on her power" Zaphikiel said and Kato brushed her redish brown hair out of her face.

Jibril landed in the garden next to Zephikiel, her silver blonde wavy hair, relaxed and lying straight down her back. Kato began to stand up, but she waved him off, pointing to Aimi, who was asleep in his arms.

"Lady Jibril, what brings you up here?" Raziel asked, as he stood up and bowed.

"I am just seeing how my favorite nephew, and his angel are doing" she replied, and laughed. "Apparently you bored her to sleep Katty" she said and laughed.

"Auntie Jibril, I do not know what you are talking about. My best friend falls asleep whenever she needs healed." kato said and relaxedhis body,so that he wasnt so tense, but it was hard since she had turned her body into him, and her hand was creeping lower, and lower and...

"Umm, what happened" Aimi asked and noticed that she was nearly grabbing a certain part of Kato. She snatched her hand back and jumped up.

"And I was hoping..." *SMACK* Kato began and then rubbed the red spot on his face. He was really good at getting himself smacked now a days, But he couldn't keep the attraction away much longer without shouting it. So he went for more perverted methods of claiming her.

"why you" Aimi said, and then turned towards Zephikiel and Jibril. "Lady Jibril, I did not know you were here?" she said and curtsied

"Brownnoser" kato said from behind her and he walked up, until he could wrap his arms around her waist, however, she stomped on his foot, elbowed him in the gut, punched him, and then punched him in the soft spot. "oww" he said and fell to his knee's.

"Nice one, and that is why I claim her as mine as well as I claim you" Jibril said, and laughed, along with Zephikiel. "By the way, Perpetial wanted me to tell you two that along with your promotions you get a new class. The art of music, and of choir"

AImi just gave a blank stare. "Ohh heck no"

"DOes this mean I may finally get to hear her?" Kato asked from teh ground where he was still doubled over.

"Yes, you and your teacher, who is another cherubium, I think it is Alexander" Jibril said and Aimi turned around.

"I will not scream, I will not scream, I will not kill something" She chanted her mantra, loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Now Aimi, darling, you know your voice doesnt suck" Raziel said and Jibril nodded

"No but it sounds of Gehenna, a place that is sorely missed, at least there I wasnt judged every second of every day" She replied, recalling the twelve years she spent in Gehenna. It was after she had returned three years ago that Kato realized his attraction to her. And just last year had that attraction turned too love.

Alexander, an angel with blonde hair in a bowl cut flew down into the garden, his white and gold robe glittering in the sunlight. "Aimi-chan, KAto-Kun, ready for class tomorrow?" He asked

"Yes, who all is in the class?" Kato asked

"Oh, Zachariah, Alistaire, Coud, Angela, Breanna, Jordan, Michael, and a few others" Alexander listed off, but they were all people who hated Aimi

"ohh"


THE NEXT DAY

Aimi was nervous, but she would not admit it to herself. Her knee's shaking under the short plaid skirt of their uniform let Kato know how she was feeling. He had never heard her sing before.

"Aimi?" He asked and she jumped. He sighed, "Sit diwn" He said and she did. He walked behind her and grazed his arms up her sides. "Relax" he said and before she could say anything, Alexander came in with the rest of the class

"Alright everyone, now our newest students know how to change a song. And I am using Aimi for an example. The song has to do with her past, the twelve years she lived down in that sinful place. The original song was Once Upon a December and now for her version. Satnd up Aimi and sing" Alexander said and she stood, looking around the room, and finally began to sing.
" Ancient seers, dragon wings, things I alomost remember, and a song Kurai sings, Once a time in Gehenna,

Arachne holds me safe and warm, dragons prance through a flaming storm, figures dancing shamefully across my memory, Far away, Long ago, glowing dim as an ember, and a Song Kurai sings, once a time in Gehenna.

Arachne holds me safe and warm, dragons prance through a flaming storm, figures dancing shamefully across my memory, Far away, Long ago, glowing dim as an ember. Things my heart used to know, things it yearns to remember, and a Song Kurai sings, once a time in Gehenna." SHe finished and everyone stared. One would think her demon heritage would kill her voice, since demons couldnt sing, but in fact it made it husky, and romantic.

"And people, those vocals are not from Lord Ramiel, no they are from the Lady of Gehenna herself" Alexander added and Aimi sat down quickly, Zachariah's mouth had drooped open, and KAto was wondering why the hell she hated singing in front of people. Several more people sang that day, and they sounded like nails on a chalkboard. FInally they had to leave to get to their history of the great wars, class, where her and KAto were the only two in it. Aimi was quick in grabbing her bag, and running out of the room. Kato sped up to catch up with her, because he had a burning question on his mind.

"Aimi, who's Arachne"

"Arachne is my fiance while I am in Gehenna. Only because my mom is the Lady, the fifteenth dragon master, do I have a fiance, and he doesnt judge me on my parents like everyone up here does." She said and Kato boxed her into a corner

"I dont judge you" he said and she looked up into his emerald eyes. He was beginning to scare her, all of this touchy feely crap that he had been doing the past few days.

"Kato, back off" she said, her claustraphobia was getting to her

"No, Aimi, you are the only one who judges you, Sevotharte has even quit for the time being. Damn it Aimi, I am getting sick of you putting yourself down all the time." he said

"Kato, please just move it I am frigging claustrophobic thanks to Sevy" She said and shoved him, hard. He now knew what happened that one time she had disapeered for a week. Sevotharte had tried too..

"well if it isnt my two favorite students" An angel said from behind him.

"Master Gabriel, we didnt notice you arrived." Aimi said and she rushed into the room. Things were getting worse between her and Kato, and they were going down the drain fast.
