"... Lorcan made me," Adrian fumed, his arms crossed.
Lorcan was standing behind him, grinning from ear to ear and hugging Adrian extremely affectingly. If it were possible there would be little hearts floating around him. "Don't say it like that! Look at how adorable you look."
"I'm an ex-stripper, I don't do adorable." Adrian cast a glare over his shoulder.
"Says you," Lorcan smiled, poking Adrian's cheek. "Now be a good boy and do as Smexy Zexy tells you."
"Yeah yeah," Adrian rolled his eyes and strode in. He paused at the kitchen and glared. "Laugh and you suffer a horrible agonizing demise."
"Isn't he just a ray of sunshine and love?"

Demyx had taken that moment to come downstairs, wearing blue PJ's with rain drops on them. He took one look at Adrian and ran back upstairs. The entire room could hear him laughing. Even Axel and Roxas were concealing laughter and Zexion figured he should get Adrian out of there before someone killed someone else.
He sighed, picking up his Lexicon. "Come. We'll be training in the back," he said, leading the way out the back door. It was a fairly large back yard for a city house. There was a pool and practice dummy's with scorch marks and black cuts on them. There were several trees as well and five tree stumps in a circle.
"Please," he said, gesturing to them for the two to sit. Axel and Roxas came outside with bowls of cereal and took a seat on a tree stump, sitting with their backs together.
Zexion sat down, cross-legged, his Lexicon opened in front of him. If anyone looked at it, they would completely lost as to what it said. It was a language Zexion had invented himself, a more secure way of making sure his brothers didn't try to pry into his work. "So you're a witch, correct? How much magic experience do you have?" He asked, a black quill appearing in his hand as he wrote down more in his book.

"I have a little experience with household magic, things to help me clean and what not. As for battle type magic I'm quite good at explosions and a bit of elemental magic, fire and wind mostly. Other than that I have no formal training although I have been trying to learn on my own." Adrian said, looking down at his hands. He hated to admit his inexperience, but he knew he had to be honest.
Meanwhile Lorcan had taken up a bowl of Trix, finding the box hidden behind a jar off pickled eyes, and sat down beside Roxas on the grass. He munched away at the yummy cereal and smiled.
"I wonder what Zexy is going to teach Adrian first."

The window on the second floor slammed open. "Another pyro!" Demyx shouted and then jumped down from the window. The landed on the pool, the water swirling around him to break his fall. He walked over to Zexion, resting an elbow on his older brother's shoulder. "That means he'll need water training right?" He asked, excited.
Zexion's eyes narrowed at him. "Hardly. We'll see what you can do first." With that, he stood up and lifted his Lexicon. With a wave of his hand, the book transformed into a black weapon. The handle was in the middle and on one end was a crescent moon, on the other a cross. "Don't worry. I can stop my attack before I kill you," he said and charged, swiping downwards at Adrian's legs.

Adrian jumped, narrowly missing the attack. When he jumped he send a blast of fire at Zexion. Since his 'teacher' was an mystic he could go all out and not have to worry about hurting him. Moving quickly Adrian jumped into the air, using his magic to propel himself further into the air and sent several balls of fire down at Zexion.
"Don't judge me too heavily on this!" Adrian called. "I usually use magic for fireworks!"

Zexion smirked from down at the ground, hitting the fireballs with his weapon. "Really? Another fire-user..." he mused before he decided how to fight. He looked up at Adrian and without a second thought, jumped into the air. "You may use fire, but how can you handle close combat?" He swung at Adrian's torso, following it up with the other end at the same area.

Adrian's eyes widened and he brought his arms together making a shield of wind come between them to block Zexion's attack. He allowed a gap in his defense big enough to swing a punch at Zexion's head. He wasn't all that great with close combat, but he could hold his own.
Adrian combined his punch with wind and fire, the flames swirling around his fist. If Zexion had been a human the attack could kill him.

Zexion allowed the hit to connect...only it didn't It passed right through his body and the image vanished but the blade was still there. Zexion was too in a way as he was upside down in the air, completely out of the way of Adrian's attack. "I told you, I control illusions. Even if it's only sight or sound..." He backed off and smirked, four more images of himself appearing. "I can still make you believe. Your eyes can't lie, correct?"
"Or can they?" Zexion added, another one appearing behind Adrian.

Adrian dropped to the ground and sent a torrent of flame upwards, hitting all of the Zexion's. He had never fought anyone like this before. Fighting someone who could manipulate him so easily scared him, but he didn't let it show. Adrian just fired off a few blasts of fire and searched the sky for any signs of Zexion.

Axel sighed from where he was sitting, munching on his breakfast. "Zexy's toying with him," he commented as they fought.
Roxas nodded. "Guess even under the cold facade, he's still a manipulative bastard," he concluded as though talking about a movie.
Zexion heard the words and suppressed a smirk. He landed on the ground, carefully dodging the flame. "That's enough," he said, putting a hand up. The weapon lit up and went back to being a book. "You're good," he complimented. "We have some work but it seems like nothing you can't handle," he added, not wanting to boost the kid's ego too much.

Adrian nodded and panted slightly. Truth be told he had been terribly nervous. Just as he was about to thank Zexion, Lorcan was hugging him with enough force to pop his head like a grape.
"Are you alright, love? I was so worried about you," Lorcan said in a paniced voice, rubbing his cheek on top of Adrian's head.
"Gah! I'm fine! Get off me!" Adrian struggled in the stronger man's embrace. "Hey, you're the one who got me these lessons so calm down!"
"NO!" Lorcan refused.

Zexion just rolled his eyes. "Moving on..." he muttered not pleased with Lorcan's constant doting on Adrian. It would interfere with this and despite his comments, he wanted to get it done. "We're going to start with water element since it seems to be your weakest. We'll work on that and then work on more practical magic since it takes less energy." I'm going to regret this later. "Demyx," he called, although somewhat unwillingly.
"Oh?" Demyx walked over, grinning. "Alright. Let's get started!" He said, clearly a bit too excited. He took a seat on a stump, crossing his legs much like Zexion. "Ok. I want you to sit down and close your eyes. Feel the air around you," he instructed.

Finally having pried Lorcan off, Adrian nodded and did as Demyx instructed. He sat on the ground with his legs crossed and his eyes closed. Feeling the air around him was easy as he used the wind fairly often. He just hoped that Demyx wouldn't spray him with water while he was like this as he was breathing deeply and he knew Lorcan would freak out and try to perform CPR on him even though he was conscious.

There was a long silence until Demyx finally had enough. "Ok! That attempt was a fail!" He said, not surprised in the slightest that nothing had really happened. He walked over to the pool and put our a hand. He curled his fingers into a fist and a torrent of water rose up. "Alright, time for a new approach. So I'm guessing you must have felt something right? How about trying to control this water?" He said, having it encircle him. "Just concentrate."
"Use the force, Luke!" Roxas shouted from his seat. Axel burst out laughing.
Demyx grinned. "Yeah. Just try to imagine the water flowing inside you rather than outside..." He paused. "Ok, not literally!" He added and the other two laughed some more.

Adrian nodded and walked to the pool. He knelt down and let put his hand in the water. Closing his brilliant blue eyes he concentrated, breathing deeply. Slowly the water began to slosh around his unmoving hand. Startled Adrian opened his eyes and the water plopped back down into the pool.
"I.. wow. Let me try again!" Adrian stammered.
He concentrated harder this time, envisioning the water swirling through him and soon enough three steams of water coiled around his arm and up to his torso. Holding his concentration Adrian stood, the water coming with him.
"H-hey look!" he beamed. "I'm doing it!"
