*Shakaku...to put it lightly, was exhosted. He had just spent the last seven hours in the danger room. That dang Freya! Why did she have to push him that hard. Shakaku's entire body aked. He was covered in sweat and his shirt was off. He had teken it off half way though the session. The shirt was now in his right hand, almost dragging on the floor. As he walked down the hall way Shakaku stayed closest to one wall and leaned on it if he had to.*
*He was getting closer to his room. It was an amazement, to himself, that he had gotten this far by himself. But he had had it. His body couldn't take this abuse anymore. He leaned on the wall, leaning his head up. His mouth wide open, he was breathing deeply with his eyes closed.*
*True, the session was hard. But he had time to talk a little bit. He was able to talk about his problems a little. Freya now knew that it was of a girl who had been gone for quite a while. She also knew that this girl and him were quite awkward now, and he didn't know how to take it. He thought she said something, but right now....there was no way that he could think about his problems now. The only thing he could think about was trying to move. If he could move then he would think of making it to his bed. But right now he was still on the moving...*

Gisli had been in a bad mood since her’s and Shakaku’s last encounter. Who wouldn’t be after hearing that type of thing from one of their only friends? Sure, she knew that Shakaku probably hadn’t meant it to sound so… so harsh. But for some reason she couldn’t let it go. She wanted to know his answer, if his reputation was so important to him. At the same time though, she didn’t. She didn’t want to know what his answer might be.
Gisli had just about gone to talk to him half a dozen times, sometimes even getting as far as his door before stopping herself. He’d come when he was ready to talk, or end things with her. Still... This was one of those times when she found herself wandering the halls, her mind wondering as she tried to sort things out.
She heard something around the corner, and froze. What was she supposed to do? Finally she sighed, picking up her pace a little to peer around the wall. It was Shakaku… Crap.
Something was different though. He was shirtless, obviously, but that wasn’t it… She sighed. He looked completely wiped. Like he’d been put through hell and back. He probably had. “You okay..?”

*Shakaku's eyes were closed and he was half asleep. That devil of a woman had taken to her domain...Hell. It was hot and seemed like it would never end. Surprisingly he wanted more. He couldn't move now. But once his body had recovered he would do almost anything to do that again. He could feel himself getting stronger, physically and power wise. His miscles were tense and more defined.*
*After leaning against the wall for only a little bit he herd a voice. At first it seemed so distant that he thought it was two students talking to each other. But as his mind processes it the voice was Gisli's...or was his mind playing tricks on him? His eyes slowly opened and his head slightly turned. That took more effort than it should.*
Probably....
*That was all that Shakaku could muster out of his mouth. He could tell he was about to colaps. But he had to get to his room. He was NOT going to the infermery just because he passed out from seven hours straight of danger room practice. He wasn't that weak. All he needed was a good pain killer and a soft bed...he hoped.*

Gisli sighed, shaking her head. What was she supposed to do? How was she supposed to stay mad at him when he was like this? When he barely seemed to have the energy to talk, let alone stand? How could she just leave him there? Should she take him to the infirmary? No… He’d freak out. He didn’t like showing any signs of weakness, and that included going to the infirmary for any reason. What had he been doing to get so exhausted?
“Yeah. Sure.” She sighed again, running her fingers through her hair, as if giving in.”Well… I can’t just leave you here…” With yet another sigh she wandered over to him, kneeling down next to him. Carefully she slipped an arm behind him, pulling his arm over her shoulders and pulling him to his feet. “Come one. Let’s at least get you to your room so people don’t decide to get revenge on you.”
Shakaku had made a lot of enemies at the school. If any of those people saw Shakaku like this… Yeah, they really would get revenge. He’d caused a lot of problems at the school, near no one would defend him in that sort of a situation.

*Normally Shakaku wouldn't except help. But seeing that he couldn't walk normally, let alone say a full sentence, he allowed Gisli to help him up. He tried his hardest to stay up, he didn't want to make her fall too.*
R....right.
*As they made their way Shakaku did stumble a little bit, ever ten or twenty steps. The voice of Freya yelling at him rang in his ears. If he could concentrate he would try to take heat away from his body, but that would be too dangerous with the state that he was in. He might actually make it to low and possibly kill himself. Maybe next time he could ask Freya about his problems more. They didn't get much out. Once you got that woman started...she didn't really stop...every time he asked for a break she would maybe give him a small water break. Enough to get a swig or two of watter than it was back to work. Sometimes it was even harder than before, depending on what he said.*
Thanks for this.....G...Gisli....
*His breathing was heavy and his eyes glazed over. He was almost like the living dead. He had never felt this way before.*

Gislli almost rolled her eyes. He was dead weight. What the hell had he been doing? Whatever it was… He’d almost been worked to unconsciousness! He couldn’t even stand on his own! Sure, he tried, but his attempts didn’t seem all that worthwhile. Just a waste of effort. Thankfully he wasn’t as heavy as she’d first expected, and only struggled a little with getting him to his feet. “God knows what it’d do to your image if someone saw you asleep out here.”
She didn’t mean to seem and dwell on the subject that had been their latest dispute, and it’d been completely unintentional. It didn’t seem like he’d notice though, because he seemed completely out of it.
“You don’t need to thank me.” She almost sighed, leading Shakaku off towards where she was sure his room was. “Why did you go and completely wipe yourself? I knew you could do some stupid stuff sometimes but…” She shook her head, smiling and almost chuckling. “Really. You need to learn when to stop.”
They’d reached his room, and she carefully looked at him with a somewhat puzzled look. “Have your key? Or do you even lock your door?” She smirked a little. Who in their right mind would try to enter Shakaku’s room? He didn’t really have to worry about anyone wanting to vandalize his room.

*Shakaku really didn't process all that Gisli said but he did gather that she was wondering he did this to himself. He didn't do this to himself....what did she think he was...stupid?*
Xavior....made me get a touter...
*He had to pause for a little bit, bring up thoughts. He was sure that it would be okay to mention her name, but she was a very well known pyromancer and he didn't want to get in trouble. weather she would find out or not...he might as well be safe.*
He made me go to a......training session with......with her.
*Crap! Why did he say 'her?' Now Gisli is going to think something dirty about him. Why did he care what she thought? Why did he care that he told Gisli that his mentor is a girl? Dang, even more questions. But luckily Shakaku was way to tired to even think about them.*
*When the reached his door Shakaku reached into his pocket with his free hand and grabbed the key. It took a little bit but he finally got the door unlocked. Normally he didn't lock it, but when Furai was in there Shakaku made sure that she was safe. Even if a kid was stupid enough to enter his domain, they wouldn't find out about Furai when the weather was warmer.*

Ah. That explained it. He’d been training with someone. Something that obviously knew how to work him to the bone. “Must be one hell of a tutor.” She was curious now, wondering who Xavier had found who was brave enough to personally train Shakaku. The person must be crazy strong, and able to withstand whatever Shakaku had to through at them. But what kind of person was it? Who was it?
So it was a woman? That was a surprise. Shakaku was being beaten to death by a woman. She almost smirked. “Why doesn’t that surprise me?” It almost seemed fitting. Shakaku, who was one of the most selfish people she knew, who wouldn’t be able to stand the thought of someone, especially a woman, beating him up. He was being put through training that put the military boot camp to shame! But only one training session? “Jezz, if she beats you up this bad after one session I’d hate to see you by the end of the week.”
Gisli reached out to help him get the door unlocked. When it was, she carefully helped him into the room, leading him towards the bed. “You should be more careful.” They’d reached the bed by this point and she slowly and carefully lowered him down onto it. Straightening she stepped back, unsure what to do. “Anything you need..?”

*Shakaku was quiet for a bit, until he was down on his bed.*
That woman is from Hell. With fire and brimstones to match.
*That wasn't a joke. Shakaku had learned just how powerful Freya was. She could recreate Hell if she wanted. Shakaku actually respected her. More than he respected anyone else. He didn't fear her as much as he wanted to learn more and to actually get closer to her. For once he was actually some what grateful that Xavior set this up. Well not now, but he was sure that he would be once he was stronger.*
We'll just have to see what happenes. *He knew that with Freya to help him he would get stronger, and he felt like he could go to her with his problems.* I just hopes she decides to go back to France for a month or so, soon. Give me a little break.
*Shakaku was exhorted, he needed rest and a nice cold shower. Maybe an ice bath or something. Unfortunately his body temperature was hotter than any normal person no matter what...*
*He looked up at Gisli, making eye contact for the first time in weaks. She looked like an angel, standing there.*
I'm fine
*Stupid! Why couldn't he tell her what he thought. He knew that it wasn't the exostian, or any heat stroke, if it was possible for a pyromancer to get heat stroke.*

Gisli really did full on laugh this time. “From Hell huh? Some sort of insane Pyromancer? Even worse then you?” Now that would terrify just about any student that hated and feared Shakaku. Imagining that there was another Pyromancer that completely dwarfed him. But who was the woman? And why was she so curious to know?! It couldn’t be jealousy! Why would she be jealous?! She didn’t think of Shakaku that way! …Right?
She was still smiling a little as she watched him. She’d never seen him like this, but he’d never seen her like that either. Had she ever been that exhausted before? Doubtful… But then he said something that only increased her curiosity. “France?” She paused. “Wait. You’ve only had one session and you’re already for her to leave to give you a break? Wow…”
Gisli had noticed his even higher than usual body temperature. She knew that he always had a higher temperature then most but it was even higher than usual. He needed to cool down, as shocking as that sounded! Really, a Pyromancer in need of cooling down…
“I’ll go get some water… Or something…”
She almost moved to leave, but paused when he finally looked at her. What was that look? She’d never seen that look before! Finally she smiled. “I’ll be right back.” She quickly left, half running down the halls to the kitchen to get several ice packs and a few cold water bottles. She was only gone a few minutes, knocking on his door before opening it and entering. She didn’t want him to get up to get the door for her, and he knew it’d be her… So why not just enter?

*Shakaku smiled when he heard Gisli talking about Freya like that. He wondered if she would think that was flattery or not. She was tough but Shakaku enjoyed the challenge. He just knew that if his body didn't fully recover before another session, he would probably brake something. Or something would accidentally happen to cause pain and a rest period. So either way he would get a break.*
*Why was Gisli being so persistent? She didn't seem like the type to got out of her way for someone who was a totally jerk to her the last time they spoke. He thought about this while she was gone. What was it about her? Why was she so nice to him?*
*Gisli's knock brought him back down to earth. As she walked in he propped himself up on his elbows.* You know you didn't really need to do this... *But his expression wasn't mean, it was kind. This was partially due to the fact that he was so tired he didn't realize what he was doing. By the time she had gotten back the room had gotten much warmer, mostly from Shakaku's body heat. He was getting better about keeping tabs on it, but it wasn't perfect.*

It was a good question. Why was Gisli so persistent? Shakaku hadn’t shown her any real shred of kindness, or… Okay he probably had she just couldn’t think of any big one at the moment. So why was she still there? Was it just because she seemed to get along with him? That something about their personalities just meshed well together? He’d never tried to bully her, after all! And when he was bullying someone he always stopped if she showed up… But why? What was it that kept them getting along?
She didn’t spend too much time thinking about it as she hurried back to his room. And when she was back, he’d actually sat up. That was almost a surprise, considering how physically drained he must be.
“Yeah. I know. But no one else will. Just because you can be a jerk sometimes doesn’t mean you don’t deserve some sympathy.” She smiled a little, leaving it at that. She dumped the stuff on the floor by his bed, her arms almost frost covered from how cold the water and ice packs had been. She tried not to notice though, if only because the room was starting to heat up a little, all from his own high body temperature.
Gisli grabbed one of the cold water bottles, loosening the lid before handing it to him. With how tired he was, who knew if he would have been able to open it on his own. Hopefully he wouldn’t think she was insulting his manhood or something. Wasting no time she grabbed a few of the ice packs, kneeling beside his bed and giving him a stern, almost commanding look. “Lay back down. And don’t move too much.” She paused for only a half second. “You better not be raising the temperature either. That is the last thing you need right now.” Why was she so concerned right now?! He’d only just worked himself to the point of exhaustion! Not exactly a rare occurrence around here!

*The question of why she was doing this rang in his head. Fortunately he was way to tired to get agrivated that he couldn't answer it. When Gisli handed him the water bottle Shakaku started to drink. Drinking the entire bottle in less then two minutes. Shock came to him with Gisli's commanding voice.*
*Why was she doing this? Why did she sound almost worried about him? He thought that she hated him for what he had said. Why wasn't she staying away from him, like all the other students? He layed down as told to do and he focused all that he could to take the heat down. He got it down a little bit and now he had to keep it there. His eyes were open, if he closed them now then he would be asleep in no time, and he didn't want that to happen, not with someone else in the room. He didn't know what was going to happen next but he was sure that he would feel cold really soon. His body prepared for the shock, even though he had no idea where he would feel it first. He wondered if it would feel good or not.*

Even if he had asked, Gisli wouldn’t have been able to tell him why she was doing this. Maybe because she knew he wasn’t all bad? Maybe she just couldn’t leave him looking all pitiful? Maybe… she just couldn’t stand to leave him be when he needed help? Either way, she was so confused on her reason. It didn’t make sense to her at all.
When he finally listened and lay back down, she sighed. Why the hell was she doing all this?! Why was she going out of her way just to help? She pushed the thoughts back again. Shaking her head she carefully place the first icepack on his forehead. It just might shock him, considering how hot he’d been before now. “Stop using your power.” “She wasn’t sure how she knew, maybe she just knew him well enough to somehow know? She finally stood up, unsure what else to do. “There are a few more waterbottles on the ground if you need them…”
Gisli paused for a moment, hesitating a little. “You should get some rest. If it was as bad as it sounds, you really need it…” She moved to leave, but stepped on the extra ice pack she'd brought, slipping.

*Ice cold, definitely not a familiar feeling to Shakaku. He pulled back a little bit, but it felt good. Really good. Gisli was so kind. Even after he had been so mean to her. Now he really wished that he hadn't said those words to her. He obeyed her once again by not using his power, as much as he could. His body was still emanating heat, but that was natural. Especially after the work out that Freya had given him.*
Right....thankyou Gisli.
*He started to close her eyes when he heard something. He looked up just in time to see Gisli slipping. He had to do something! His body almost moved on it's own. Even though he wasn't able to move it before Shakaku quickly moved his body under Gisli, He caught her, Wraping his strong arms around her waist and Stopping her fall. For some reason the pain was gone. He felt kind of better.*
Are you alright Gisli?
*He loosened his grip, so that if she wanted, she could leave. He wouldn't blame her if she did. Why should she stay, after all...the question still lingered in the air. Where they still frinds?*
