Misha shook his head and rubbed his face. "I wish I could've protected her better..." He said with a depressed expression. He looked at the ground and covered his face letting out a rough breathe.

------------

Jasmin growled a little before shaking her head. "What...." She tilted her head to the side extremely confused. "The hell just happened...?" She questioned. She looked at Eiji confused.

"Now you can," said Jaguar. "If you think you can, I'll give you the power to do it."

------------------

"Your Beast Soul awakened," said Eiji. "That means you're like I am," he explained. "With training anyway...you ready to go?"

Misha looked up at the Jaguar. "I want to protect her. I need to protect her...Will you please lend me your power...?" He questioned trying to be respectful as possible.

---------

"Yeah lets...Before I get a bigger headache..." Jasmin muttered grabbing the bag with her stuff in it and putting Jackson on a leash. Jackson barked and wagged his tail. "Yeah, Jack we're going on a walk."

The Jaguar smiled. "I thought you'd never ask," he said, leaping up and swirling around him, turning into his armor and it forming on him, both in the dream world and the real one.

------------------------

Eiji nodded, taking her to his car and driving them back towards the temple. "Your friend Ashley is training to become like me now, a Beast Knight...I think it's partly because he wants to protect you."

Misha opened his eyes looking at the armor. Getting use to the feel of it. "So this it...." He whispered quietly.

----------

"Protect me?" Jasmin questioned. "Why?" She said smiling a little and shaking her head. "I'm no one important."

"You've truly connected with your Beast Soul," explained Isao, smiling with a nod. "Well done, you're a fast learner. You should feel revitilized as well, the bonding does that."

---------------------

Eiji smiled. "Everyone is important to someone," he explained. "I had a girlfriend...she died in the Black Heart attack that my powers awakened in...she's part of the reason I do this..." he continued. "That was 30 years ago, when I was 20...hasn't changed. To Ashley, you're important enough to fight monsters for. Well, he seemed the kind of person who'd protect anyone, but it seems he's fixated on you. He sent me to take you to safety, didn't he?"

Misha stood up slowly try not to fall still getting use to it. He looked at Master Isao. "So this is what a beast knight is?" He questioned looking at his palm thinking about Jasmin. He nodded a bit. "Good..." He whispered to himself.

--------------------------

Jasmin looked at Eiji then at the floor. "I'm sorry." She said silently. "Why is he fixated on me to you think?" She questioned. That was one thing that never changed about her. She always wanted to learn more, know more.

Isao nodded. "Yes, this is your merged for," he expplained. "What happens when you and your Beast Soul merge into one entity."

-------------------

Eiji shrugged. "Wouldn't know myself, that's something only he would know for sure," he explained. "But I'm sure he has good reasons."

Misha nodded understanding. "Alright...So I guess Jaz was right...I'm not a normal person." He commented and rolled his shoulders a bit still getting use to the feeling. "Kyoumou Otousan the fierce father." He nodded to himself accepting the fact that he was now a beast night. It was an interesting feeling.

Russel walked in without knocking like usual. "Got the food sensei!" He said with a cheery tone. There were two things that Russel loved in the entire world. Good food, and friends.

-----------------------------

"Looks like I'm gonna have to budge it out of him." Jasmin said smiling. She heard a low growl and looked at her stomach then back at Eiji blushing. "Uh..heheh...I'm guessing that I'm getting hungry." She said blushing brightly.

"Thank you," said Isao. "Now, let's make a feast in honor of our new Beast Knight," he said, as a new Beast Knight was a very rare occurence.

----------------

"Don't worry, knowing Sensei there's a feast being prepared right now," said Eiji. "Whenever we get a new Beast Knight, as not everyone who can sense their Beast Soul can become one and there's presently only three in our temple, now four with Ashley there."

Misha converted back into his true form and smiled. "A feast huh?" He smiled more. "I'm looking forward to it!" He said happily.

Russel smiled and nodded happily. "The feasts here are awesome!" He said raising up his arms happily. "There so good, and delicous and -" He continued blahhing on about the good food.

-------

Jasmin smiled a tad and looked out of the window. "You know....I haven't seen Ashley in about two years...I mean I've seen him around...But I never really walked right up to him and talked to him ya know?" She stated looking over at him.

Ooc: Russel. Ya gotta love him XD;

OOC: Yeah, me too.

Isao clapped his hands, getting cooks to take the food and begin cooking.

------------------------

Eiji nodded. "Well he still cares about you," he said. "He's a very protective person. When I showed up at the art institute to fight the Black Heart that was attacking, he went to great lengths to protect his students."

Ooc: Should they be at the temple now? XD

Russel rubbed his hands together extremely excited about the food that was being prepared. He looked over to Misha. "So..Who's this Jasmin anyway man?" He said tilting his head a little. "Your girlfriend or something?" He questioned smirking.

Misha looked at Russel looking rather unamused. "Ha, ha, ha. Very funny." He muttered looking at the ground a little. He crossed his arms and made a huff. "It's not like that." He grunted.

Russel nudged Master Isao smirking.

-----------

Jasmin shook her head and grunted. "I always miss out on the cool stuff...." She muttered pouting a little but quickly got serious. "Oi, do you think I'll make a good beast knight...?" She questioned looking at him. Jackson poked his head up in between the front seats wagging his tail fierciously. Jasmin looked at Jackson and laughed. "Silly boy." She said petting the big rotty mix's head.

"Maybe," said Eiji. "From your scent I'd say you're one of the ones who can," he said, pulling up to the temple. "Here we are."

--------------------

Isao shrugged. "Anyway, having a friend here to protect will help you," he explained. "How do you feel?"

Jasmin looked up at the temple getting out of the car. "Well...That's a big temple...." She whispered dumbstruck a good bit. She shook her head and grabbed her bag out of the car and let Jackson out of the car. Jackson bolted up the stairs, into the temple and tackle Ashley. Jasmin freaked almost immediately. "JACKSON GET BACK HERE!" She shouted leaping over the car with amazing speed and ran after Jackson dodging the students that tried to hold her back. "Jackson Alren Samuel!" She said calling out Jackson's full name.

Misha laid on the ground the giant dog sitting on him wagging his tail very pleased. "Ow...." He whispered looking up at Jackson. "Seriously, Jackson? Just seriously?" He said receiving a giant lick in the face.

Russel looked rather confused for a moment at the random happening but quickly busted out laughing. He shook his head chuckling.
