Autum is here

[Sven]

"Oh, is that so?" Anthony slyly replied, his smile stayed constant on his face. "Then why are you floating? Are you afraid I'll do anything to you?" He continued, the shine on his spectacles finally disappears as that sadistic sick glint his eyes obviously let off was shown.

He stuffed his hands in his pockets, still looking up at the hovering girl, challenging her even. "I'll tell you my plan, if it makes you feel better though. If I'm ever going to attack and/or annoy you, I'll first be naming you." He nodded at his own statement confidently. "Trust me, Zephel's life started to get miserable the moment he was named "Gum drop"."

[Iku]

Iku sighed as she landed on the ground.

"Because I dont like people touching me, You got a problem with that?" She barked at him. He really was starting to get under her skin a bit.

"Gum drop?"She said raising an eyebrow at him. Well if this guy wasnt strange enough, he just added to it. She didnt say anything after that. She just kinda starred, She couldn't put her finger on him. This was just one wired day. Iku then brought her hands up to her chin. 'Maybe it was the wind' She thought to herself

[Sven]

Anthony genuinely seems surprised at her sudden outburst. "You're similar like the vampire girl in my class. I didn't know phosmphobia as a common dread in this domain." The teacher scratched his chin, blinking continuously behind his shining glasses. "But anyway... You need to be named~!!" A crazier childish side of him ripped out of his calm shell...and ultimately revealed how close he is into achieving his mad-scientist title.

Raising his left index finger up high towards the sky, the strange man then swished his arm and pointed directly at Iku's nose. "Ahahahah!! I, Anthony Reinhardt, will take the liberty of naming you~! So from now on! You shall bear the name......BUTTERSCOTCH!!!" His spectacles shines as he scratches his chin again, but now with pride. "It's perfect! It's hard, it's brittle...but its made with the softest substance...butter and brown sugar... Oh, how very sweet!!" He clapped wildly with a grin...like a child after watching a spectacular performance.

"But then again.." Anthony suddenly wondered. 'How fast is your reflex?' He sent that thought to the girl's head, and at the same time takes a closer step to Iku, grabbed her hand and attempted a kiss at the back of her hand...quick.

[Iku]

"Butterscotch?" she asked confused.

Iku quickly saw him starting to go towards her hand, quickly pulling away. With that little voice in her head asking her reflexes, it spelt bad news. Oh Iku was pissed. It wasn't that she didnt like to be touched. Iku just purely hated men! Iku's one exception was solely Tyr, For he stood by her for the longest time. But thats another story line! Iku glared at the man. There was no way she was going to let him kiss her not even the hand! Iku then quickly grabbed him by the coller of his shirt. You could almost see the steam coming out of her ears.

"What the hell do you think you are doing!!!" She yelled at him

[Sven]

Anthony just smirked as she pulled her hand away before he even got a chance of kissing it. As quick as a flash, his collar was in her grip, and of course, receive a yell. His smirk widens into a grin as he brings his own hands up and handle Iku's wrists securely in his grasp.

"Now now, butterscotch. I wouldn't go so low as to take another man's posession away from him, so don't you worry, hm?" His grip challenging Iku to release him, or he wouldn't release her. "Plus, I wouldn't want you to toss me off the cliff, would I?" He admitted while grinning sheepishly at her. Followed after that, is a laugh.

"Ahahahahah~! I apologize. I guess this is just my way of trying to get to know people."

[Iku]

Iku's grip tightened. She glared into that sheepish smile. If looks could kill this 'Anthony' guy would be dinner! She hated how he used that 'I'm sorry' excuse and expect her to accept his apology. How dare he even try that. Wont take another mans possession?

"Another mans possession? I am not a prize!" Iku yelled at the top of her lungs. She was yelling as if she were going to kill the man. Iku then dropped him. She didnt even know why. She suddenly felt like her breath was being wasted. It was a big waste of time and effort to yell at him.

"Ugh, Men" She muttered. They really never do learn. You'd figure if she didnt want to be touched that a kiss on the hand wouldn't mean anything different to her. Besides, That's what Tyr did when they first met. Does that mean that every guy that kisses on the hand is a flirt? a Pig? a strait up Jack ass? Iku couldn't answer that just quite yet.

[Sven]

Anthony stared at her silently, still with that sheepish smile of his as he was being screamed at and dropped. His smile only widens all the while as he stood up, dusting his pants and fixing the black scarf around his neck as he tightens the jacket he wears. "My dear butterscotch, I'm not supposed to touch you because you already belong to another man."

That sick grin returned. "But I'm not particularly rule-strict now, am I?"

Moving fast around Iku, the teacher dissappeared within her sight and only reappears with one of his arms around her waist securely and another hand holding her chin lightly. His face is now very close to hers, particularly their lips. One slight lift of her face and a kiss will happen...only that Anthony just paused there, that wicked grin of his returned to his gentle smile facade.

"Why do you detest men so very much?" He whispered, audible enough for Iku to hear. "Is every men the same as how you pictured them to be? Are they so intimidating in your eyes that you can't even initiate a decent discussion, even a small hi, with them?" That shine on his glasses dissappeared due to their close distance, revealing his forest green eyes almost glaring down to Iku. "...Or do you fear 'it' will happen again?"

Anthony is just a stupid perverted teacher in the eyes of many...but that is just a facade to hide the very person he's acting right now to Iku. ...A psycho. A true psycho. "Answer me, butterscotch."

[Iku]

Iku was about to punch him, throw him off the cliff. Something! Yet her body was frozen. Maybe it had something to do with the fact he brought up 'it'. Iku slapped him with hate filled eyes. He had just wondered into the part of her head that she doesn't dare walk to. Of course she was afraid 'it' would happen again. It haunted her. And every night, when she went to sleep. The thought would come into her head. So many restless night spent over that one very fact. And this guy comes in and acts like its no problem. Iku wasn't going to stand for it. She was happy in her own little bubble where she didn't remember it. She was happy with Tyr. He was the one to stand by her side. Iku snapping out of it she grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.

"Stay out of my head" She growled, glaring at him

[Sven]

After getting that hard slap, Anthony releases her and backs away a few feet, now very close to the edge of the cliff. He's not even smiling anymore as Iku made a grab for his collar, and growled at him to stay out of her head. With that, the teacher got his smile back, only to chuckle for a bit.

"Now who said I've been inside your head just now?" Grinning slightly, Anthony didn't even bother about his collar being clutched and just scratched behind his head. "I'm simply assuming it because it's painfully obvious. Why ELSE would you act this way and you don't possess phosmphobia?" The man just shrugged, only speaking the truth. "It's my first guess and I hit spot on."

"Plus..." He added, smiling cheekily at her as his glasses started to shine again. "You just told me your whole life story by just acting the way you are, butterscotch. I don't need telepathy to guess what you've been through." Anthony laughed lightly, before taking a hold of her hands that clutched his collar, "Hmmm...I got the perfect plan now, butterscotch.. Do you want me to disappear?"

[Iku]

This guy was just starting to crawl under her skin. She was about ready to give him one good one. And no one was there to stop her. Yup thats right... no one. Iku then growled once more. As he was no acting as if he was about to jump off the side of the cliff. She didnt want him to jump. No never... she wanted to beat the crap out of him. Iku was now in a rage. Him acting like it was no biggie was a biggie.

"Why would I want you to disappear when i can do this" Growled Iku as she picked him up throwing him off the side of the cliff.

But before he could hit rock bottom or any type of bottom The strange man was caught by a giant flying dragon. Kiara sweatdropped as she brought him back to the ground. Of course she couldn't let the man fall, even if he did annoy her rider to death. Though Kiara always thought that Iku needed anger management.

"Are you alright?" The black dragon asked

[Sven]

Anthony's smile diminished as soon as he saw that different angered glint in her eyes. The growl only further confirms him what she's about to do. He just stood there, ready for what to come. And it did come.

Iku literally lifts him up with unimaginable strength and THROWS him off the cliff! What strange is he didn't even show a bit of fear through his expression, he didn't even scream! The only thing that escaped his mouth as he was tossed off is a simple, "Ahh..." It's like he's enjoying a cup of tea rather than getting his body smashed to the ground.

As he was spinning in the air, the black scarf around his neck wildly rushed upwards, untangling itself around his neck. The teacher even had the chance to hold his glasses in place as he fell. He didn't even expect something...or someone...would save him. A dragon did. And that surprised him.

The black dragon then brings him up to where Iku stood as he hops down in front of Iku. His scarf is no where to be found now, probably got lost as he was falling. He heard the dragon's question, but he thought it was directed to Iku, so he didn't answer. "Yours?" Anthony simply asked to Iku, cocking his head to the great dragon.

[Iku]

Iku totally ingnored his question. Damnit and he was this close to dying too! Iku would've been a 1,000x happier if he were dead. "What did you do that for he was practically asking to die!" Iku yelled infuriated. You could see the steam coming out of her ears.

"Because Iku, it is not his time yet" Said Kiara as her neck rised. Kiara laid down, she was now going to have to keep a close eye on Iku. Kiara had a feeling Iku would be tempted to do it once more again.

Isnt his time my ass! He waltzed threw her head enough times for her to just kill him right then and there! Iku turned around facing the sunset once more. To try and calm down. That was a toughie though because her blood was ready and bowling.

'You'll have to forgive my rider, she's got a bit of a temper' Said the dragon towards The man.

[Sven]

Anthony raised his brow with a smile as he watched the dragon and her Rider conversing with each other. He stayed quiet for a while until the two finished, and made his move the second Iku turned to look at the sunset. "You know, I was just about to suggest to you if you want to make me dissappear WITHOUT the issue of my death here.." He sweatdropped, scratching his cheek with a finger, "If I die here, then people might accuse you of being a murderer, my dear butterscotch. I don't want that~!" He laughed heartily, then lessening his laughter to chuckles when the Black Dragon is starting to talk to him.

"Why, I don't have the heart to even blame the lovely butterscotch." Anthony smiled, taking a few steps closer to Kiara as he gave a bow to the dragon. "And I have you to thank for, milady." Anthony is no doubt an annoying pervert and is artfully persuasive when he chose to be, but then again, he's painfully charming as well.

Smiling at the dragon, Anthony then stood straight and calmly tries to approach Iku. "Butterscotch, are you angry with me? ...Because you thought I read your mind...?"

[Iku]

Iku growled inwardly as he was now trying to talk to her. Acting as if he were so innocent!!! Iku bit her tongue for a moment so that maybe she wouldn't just explode on the guy but that didn't quite work. Iku turned to wards Anthony. Her face red as could be! Only because she can not let out all that she would have to say.

"Yes! I am! but that's not the ONLY reason why!" She yelled with such anger in her voice. Anthony was quite lucky that she didn't have her hand on his sword or who knows what would've happened! Iku clenched her fist tightly. Just one lift of the arm and she could punch his face in! Iku desperately wanted to. It wasn't the fact that he had read her mind. Its that he HAD to bring up something that still haunted her today. Something that killed her inside something that she was desperately trying to get rid of the though! He may have not read her mind, sure there was a possibility that he just guessed that something happened. Maybe so, But still, He brought it up making the internal scars rise. And that was enough to make her want to chuck him off the side of the cliff any day.

[Sven]

"Ohhhhhh~" Anthony let out, backing away slightly as he rubbed his chin in an understanding manner with a small smile. "Did I...accidentally opened a little healing scar of yours?" The teacher asked, chuckling lightly as he said so. "Ah, then I owe you a deep apology, butterscotch." A quick bow to the lady, and back up with a smile.

He has his reasons on why he purposely 'opens that little scar'. Reasons that hid deep underneath his glasses...and that tiny non-existent smirk of his. Anthony is strange from the start, plotting schemes in his head when anybody least expected. Right now...he's plotting at least 3 schemes simultaneously now that he knows Iku's rage-spot.

"Butterscotch?" He started, his glasses shines to cover his eyes again. "Do you know...what the Weyrleader would do if I did something awful to you?" And there he uncovers a gist of his mad plan, tagging Iku along his freaky scheme. And to add, he took a step closer to her also. "Isn't that hard to answer, now. I just want to know. Are there certain rules that I cannot cross to avoid getting to his bad side?"
