"Holy Crap! I didn't think you knew my last name!" Pyr-a gave a small nod back. He could tell she was fighting back tears which wasn't Pyr-a. "Now class this is your first assignment. You will each take a piece of it. Tonight what I want you to do is right a fantasy as to where you think yours came from and why it is so important. I don't' care how lame it is just write the piece. We'll present them tomorrow."
"You mean you're going to write one to?" Pyr-a smirked.
"I all ready have." She picked up a piece of wood with Pyr-a carved into it. Shi-keth had actually made it for her at her request before their fight. Though he didn't know that she was going to be a teacher either.
"I want to use you and Shi-keth for mine!" Pyr-a stopped in her tracks as she was writing the criteria on the bored. "It'll be a romance story."
"Tell us about you?"
"Please? You guys are legends!"
"I'm in this class because I hoped I could see him when he came to visit you. he's dreamy!" More outbursts than this flooded the classroom but Pyr-a kept her back turned and kept writing. She had to in order to keep the hurt from her face.
"I'm a creative writing teacher and whatever goes. To let your imagination wander you can ask whoever whatever you want. Whether it's appropriate or not is up to you to decided and whether the one you ask wishes to answer is another thing entirely."
"Shi-keth? Um sir...How long have you loved Pyr-a?" Pyr-a choked momentarily as she had turned to take a drink from a water bottle on her desk.

Shi-keth blinked, not used to being called 'sir'. "Since before I can't remember." Pyr-a would be able to hear the honesty in his voice. And I haven't stopped, he thought to himself. I hate all this fighting between us, but I just can't trust her friend right now. He swallowed and looked over to Pyr-a, but looked away quickly. "I-I guess I'll be going then."

"Wait, Please? My older brother isn't going to believe I got to see you two together after you both swore to never step foot her again."
"What can I say? Pyr-a smirked. "I love pissing off the principle." SHe shrugged as people began rummaging through their bags for cameras and cell phones. Soon there were some flashes. "Ok..OK...that's enough photos of us."
"Can we get one of you guys kissing? Please? None of our friends are going to believe it." Pyr-a didn't say anything. She didn't have any time to react before...

Shi-keth froze and looked over the Pyr-a, "Sorry, I...I have to go." He dropped his emotional barrier for only a second, just a little slip, and Pyr-a could see the confusion and turmoil that was eating at him. He hadn't meant to, and as soon as he realized it had happened...he was out the door.

He leaned against the wall outside the classroom, half expecting her to follow him--to confront him. He sighed, if only she would. He felt so happy, just being able to see her again. The memory of their fight, the harsh words came back to him in a flash and he winced. He regretted most of what he said, he wanted to take it all back, but he knew that was impossible.

"Looks like that isn't happening. Grab your piece and start thinking. Nobody follow me or you'll have detention for a month." Kids knew she wasn't joking and groaned but did as they were told. She followed him and grabbed his arm. "I know you don't believe me and don't trust Circe but Jazz almost died and hour ago and her party is still on. the least you could do is attend for a little bit. She looked up to all of us. I all ready blew my rep. you don't' need to do it to."

Pyr-a's breathing was heavier than normal as she did everything to fight back every urge she had. She wanted to punch him, kick him, scream at him, kiss him, hug him and cry on his shoulder all at once. "Please. I know you don't care anymore but you know as well as I do for anything to happen we need Jazz and I want her as happy as she can possibly be with what she is going through and what I got her into. Please."

"Not care? You think I don't care?! After you're friend killed my mother, Jazz and Al and Mikee and you are my only family!" Shi-keth grabbed the arm she was holding onto him with, "How could I not care? I...I still love you, Pyr-a, and I know you've been through a lot, we all have...I'm sorry that I can't completely trust her right now. I'm trying, I'm trying really hard, but she almost killed Mikee a few months ago, doesn't that mean anything?!"

"If it didn't mean anything do you think I of all people after being hurt just as much and having gone through what you did about 10 years younger, do you think i understand? Do you think I care?" There was a harshness in her voice as she spoke. "We have a lot to talk about and I have a class to teach. I don't know how I got so far in so little time since nothing means anything to me apparently but i have. All I'm saying is show up for Jazz tonight or I will never forgive you. I've all ready let her down once. I promised her you'd be there. Don't make me regret giving up drinking for good by making me want to start all over again."

It was out. Pyr-a just confessed to her sobriety and there was nothing in her movements or her eyes that said otherwise. If anything she was pleading with his. "I gave it up because I couldn't protect her when I should have been able to. I gave it up because I almost lost her and I lost you from it. I'm tired of losing everything and hurting my family. I'm tired of hurting you and arguing with you and loving you but messing it up every time it starts going right." She let go of him and began to walk away. She had a class to teach.

Before she could leave, he pulled her into a hug, he didn't care what she'd do to later. He had to hug her, touch her, it had been so long. He kissed her forehead, pushed her away gently and whispered, "Later." He turned away and walked down the hall, his feelings a mixture of sorrow and joy, despair and hope, love and hate.

Pyr-a gave a small whimper as he walked away and let out a small scream. ONe of those screams she let out when he did something when she was trying to be mad at him. So the normal Pyr-a thing. She walked back into class and explained the assignment to the class again. Only this time it was in greater detail.
"Miss Etriski? Why are you and Shi-keth fighting?"
"If all goes well I'll have finished that story. Since this is a full year class you'll have to wait till finals to hear it." The class groaned and she began reading the story she had written about her piece of wood. It was so lame the class just sat dumbfounded. And the day passed slowly...All the while Pyr-a wondered about Jazz and how Al was doing watching her. And how soon she could get her damn Latin book back.

Al had finally dozed off while holding Jazz's hand when the patient woke up. "Al...you silly, wake up."

Alstarren opened a tired eye, "Oh....oh! You're awake, how do you feel?" Al gripped Jazz's hand tightly and scooted closer.

"I feel fine, and that's weird. What happened? What did Circe do?" Jazz started to sit up.

"Nothing, it's nothing. She'll explain later, if she's in any condition to..." Alstarren smiled at Jazz. "Skooch over a bit, so we can cuddle, I'm tired and you're in my bed."

Jazz obey after making an 'eww' face. "I don't even want to know what you've done in this bed with Psyche."

"Oh, nothing...we use his bed." Alstarren giggled when Jazz cringed and tweaked her nose. "Go back to sleep."
