A small 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, kitchen and living room apartment. Noboru doesn't entertain a lot so there is a small table in the kitchen for meals. The living room is quite large for the price he pays for the apartment, (he did the landlord a favor...) with a small tv, a recliner and a love seat. Around his living room there are paintings of the dreams he has at night, consisting of a painting of a snowy field with red and green roses in the middle, valkyries riding to the north, and paintings of a faceless woman posing half nude. In his room, there is a desk for school and work, a mini-fridge for his tasties, and his queen sized bed, (for Noboru likes the roominess and at the same time despises it, which is why he also has a hammock in the living room to sleep in when he tires of the empty bed.) The extra room is a guest room which is kept neatly with the bed made and sheets pressed for a traveling soul who might need him.

:Noboru Enters:
"What a day! Oh well time to unwind." *Takes off his shirt and removes his trousers and pops in his favorite mix CD he made featuring mostly Pavorotti and grabbed a soda from the fridge and descended into his hammock to take a small, but well-needed nap*

:Noboru Enters:

"Not much time till work...I'll just make a sanwich."
Noboru, a master at quick stripping, got out of clothes and into his tuxedo for work

:Noboru leaves to work... leaving a sandwich lonely on the counter:

:Enter Noboru:
"Make yourself at home Phearis. How about a drink? Soda? Water? Tea? Milk? Pick your poison... not literally of course."

*Appears in a whiff of flame* no thank you, im quite satisfied at the moment. *Phearis' hair shimmers with his flame, as his eyes darken* this business u wished to discuss.....

"I see. Ok then. I called you here to ask something of yourself. Nothing harmful at all, just something I need for my business."

-Noboru stands and walks to the fridge and grabs a Coke and walks back while gasping it all down-

please noboru-kun...lets not beat around the bush...what is this request of yours? *Phearis tilts his head to the side slightly*

*Seeing as Phearis begins to feel agitated Noboru gets the feeling to hurry this up that Phearis has things to do elsewhere-
"We'd like some of your Flame, Pheais, that is all I ask."

*Phearis arches an eyebrow as he chuckles* hmm...this flame's powers our ones that i cant pass upon so easily...besides im not sure u fully understand the implications of my Ito...

*phearis chuckles* i believe u mistake my powers for something else...the Ito Tamashi o Nagareru...isnt a Phoenix nor a Dragon flame...yes my species have been known for their fiery ability...if that were the case i could easily lend you a flame...but as it is i am the only one in the world with this flame...if you wish to use it for forgery im afraid ull find your metal unforgable...hmm altho i suppose enlightenment is needed...have u ever heard of the Otherwold Flames?

Long ago, perhaps when everything was created, there existed 1 flame. The flame of creation. The user of the flame however, a god, perhaps-if those sort of beings even exist in that sense-forsaw great distress if his flame were to get passed onto an unworthy successor. Upon his death bed he split his flame into 3 special flames. The flame of Body, of Mind, and of Soul. All of which are still in use today by powerful individuals...However what the "god" hadn't anticipated was his split creating by products. Flames that embodied various concepts of thought and power. And so the Otherworld Flames were born.

the flame you see in use is not a flame of physical use, it burns the intent of all things sentient- the Ito Tamashi o Nagareru

I'm sorry i could not be of service....and chess...hmm i dable...would you like to play over tea sometime?

"That would be quite Blissful. Well I'm going to take a nap before looking for our classmates. You may let yourself out whenever you like."
-Noboru walks over to his hammock and almost as soon as he hits it he enters "hibernation-

o? seems im a tad bit late....*he disappears*

::Exiting Noboru's Apartment:: ::Entering Teravore Cottage::

:Enter Noboru and Amaterasu:

"Woooow... you're doing well chuu~"
"I try haha."
"... So... do you have a... bed? Or are you still using that old hammock chuu~?"
"Yes ma'am I do... and don't hate on the hammock."
"Hee hee hee... no on the Contrary we have many... fond moments in that hammock Chuu~"
"That we do."
"Let's make some new memories now chuu~ Go lie down, I have to... freshen up chuu~"
"... Ok."

-As Noboru laid on his bed for the first time in months, with his heart pounding madly out of control Noboru waits for his long-time love-
"Noboru, I can hear your heart out here, calm down I'm not going to bite... but I might suck.. tee hee chuu~"
"Gulp"
"How do you like my outfit? I picked it up in Okinawa on the way here chuu~?"
-Noboru's mouth drops as he's left speechless-
"Hee hee thats what I thought chuu~"

-The Morning comes through the windows into Noboru's very... messy bedroom-

"Ahhhhh, good morning Nobu-kun chuu~ Sleep well?"
".... You kept me up for a night, a day, another night, and now you ask me have I slept well?!"
"Hee hee hee chuu~ I take that as a yess."
"... -sigh- Oh well. Come back down I'll make some breakfast."
"No. It's been so long since I've made you food chuu~ I want to enjoy it, kinda like the last 2 days chuu~ hee hee"
"Hahaha ok then. I'll take a nap till it's ready."
":3 chuu~"

*Hey Noboru!
"Well Hajime it's been awhile"
*Yes it has. 4 days! give it a rest and put your other monster away!
"Well can you blame us? It's been years since we've been together."
*We know. But you need some air, go to the hospital and pick up some blood packs so Amaterasu will give you enough room to breathe.
"Ok fine. Ama-san! I have to go out for.... uh... Groceries! Yup groceries, so I'll be right back."
"Sigh Chuu~ Okies. Your fridge was empty anyway. Have fun dear don't make me come get you again chuu~ I won't be as nice this time "
-Gulp- "Ok see you soon"

:Exit Noboru: Enter Tenshi Hospital:

-Noboru awakes unable to remember how he made it home and notices the letter adressed to him upon the floor underneath his hammock-
"Hmm, looks like mail." (reading) "...."
*What does it say?*
"... It says I'm useless without you two... That I have no purpose... world conquest?"
*Ahhh~ Those were the days. It's so much fun actually Noboru maybe you should--
"No! I may not have purpose, but I do have virtue! I may be an animal but aren't we all in one way or another. The way we are now, a melting pot of the most vile things imaginable, is all I know. But I accept this challenge! Let's crash a party or die trying."
*Let's Do it!
"Hmm?" -Noboru looks down next to his closet and sees an old set of armor with the same design as the talisman Amaterasu gave him so long ago next to a vile filled with the thick red liquid with a note-
*I'm sorry but it's my turn to leave without notice or an explanation. I had to go back to my tribe since one of the councilmen has fallen il. This was so much fun. I'm going to miss you, hopefully this isn't good bye. Here is a poster to remember me bye though So tata lover boy~ Don't get killed! ... Chuu~*
"... My my..." -Noboru looks at the poster, it was almost the same size as the one he already had hanging up, and opened it- Hahaha! wow... I didn't know she could split like that. I'll be sure to put it up later. (And to put it away when I have company.)
-After putting on the suit and placing the vile someplace safe, Noboru reads the side note that was hidden underneath the brestplate where it explains it use and purpose- "Bles that vixen. With this victory is assured."
--exit towards the colloseum--
