How long had it been since the last time Lazarus saw Sevilin? Laz had no idea. The little wish doll Lazarus made Kyou bought a few months back hung quietly on the window sill of the living room. Lazarus didn't had a chance to give it to Sevilin. Sighing heavily, Lazarus floated low on the couch and switched through the TV channels aimlessly with the remote control. To tell the truth, Lazarus seldom thought of Sevilin nowadays. Maybe Sevvie was just a phase for Laz, one that's only meant to be temporary and never lasts long.
"Such a pity..." Lazarus mumbled quietly to himself. He paused the switching for a moment when the TV screen showed a couple kissing. Lazarus could straight away recognise that this is a love story, probably some teen show with a lot of love drama and angst. But one consistent trait that he recognised was that most of these couples were one girl and one boy. It's very rare to see male and male couples. Sevilin may looked very feminine, but one thing Lazarus knew for sure is that Sevvie is a boy. That fact would never change.
Maybe they weren't meant for each other after all. He thought glumly as his eyes trailed back to the little wish doll hanging on the window sill, twirling lightly in the gentle breeze.

Both Lazarus and Kyou went to the Matsuri where Kyou had some of his favourite melon ice cream and Lazarus tried his hands a little at catching goldfishes at the goldfish booth. But in the end he didn't win any goldfishes because he was rather careless when catching them. However, lady luck was more on Kyou's side that particular day and he won a little souvenir in the festival.

Lazarus didn't know how to describe this feeling. It is almost like excitement, but at the same time a little bit different. Like there's a little bit of craving and light-headedness mixed inside. He felt like his mind is clouded as he flipped through the pages in the darkness, only illuminated by the moonlight shining in from the window.
In his hands he held the porn magazines he got from Tsu, flipping through them feverously. These are just pictures of naked human girls, he don't know why it attracts him so. Stopping on a page with a picture of a naked brunette constraint on a bed, Lazarus ran his fingers over the printed naked figure, longing to touch and feel how it is like to his touch. Wait, what is he thinking about? He knew touching girls like that are indecent, he also knew enough through watching chick flicks that only people in a relationship are allowed to touch each other like that. So why is he craving for this brunette printed on a magazine page? They are not in a relationship, nor had they even met!
Does this mean, I am a bad person? The idea dawned upon Lazarus. Closing his eyes, he try to shake that thought away. Yes he probably haven't treated Kyou very nicely, yes he can be very rebellious at times, but he don't consider himself as a 'bad person'. In the fire Frei's view, people in this world are categorized into two types, the 'good people' and the 'bad people'. Through the media he had learnt well that the bad people will always end up with a bad ending, so he tries his best to be a 'good person'.
"No, I can't continue with this!" he said aloud, although there weren't anyone else in that tiny storeroom to hear him. Closing the magazine in his hands, he quickly shove it back underneath the cupboard. At that moment, he was determined to leave the magazine down there untouched and forgotten. However, he didn't know that in another 12 hours he would be back in here to oogle at the contents yet again.
He also didn't know that from that night on, a mysterious dream would plague him for many months to come.

Hot Air for a Cool Breeze. A cheeky young Frei just emerged and seemed to be deathly afraid of machinery. Lazarus had to take care of him while they wait for the owner to arrive and pick him up.

The day was gloomy, dark clouds that somehow gathered together above and around the laboratory swirled slowly in anticipation. Although it was only noon, but the dimmed sunlight made it seemed like it's late in the evening. Lazarus floated quietly in the labs, a frown graced his face as he lifted his eyes to the developing Raevans in their own tanks. Ever since the check-up he did with Tsu a while back, and obtaining the porn magazines, he had been haunted by these blurred flashing images. They were very blur, and Lazarus couldn't really make out what they were, or where they came from. But they keep haunting his mind day and night. Even if he tried to not think about in the day, but at night, when he's resting, he would dream of them. Extremely blurred images, shadows, violent movements, and what scared Lazarus the most - a blood curdling scream that would send shivers down the back of Lazarus's neck. He was confused, he was miserable.
Kyou was nearby with his back to Lazarus, taking notes on the other developing Raevan. Peeling his eyes off Kyou's back, Lazarus stared back into the Raevan tank in front of him. The water was a dark blue color, he could only make out a rough silhouette of the Frei inside the tank. He don't know what prompted him to do so, but he placed a hand on the smooth glass surface and stared harder into the tank. As a ray of sunlight broke through the clouds and lit the room up a little, Lazarus saw it. He saw a pair of women's breast inside the tank, though they were not exposed, belonging to the obviously female Frei in development.
And all too sudden, the images came back to haunt him, but more clearly this time. The same violent movements, they replayed so many times in his head that Lazarus could remember the sequences oh-so clearly. But this time it was different, he could recognise something among the blurred shadows - Women's breasts.
Now Lazarus is even more confused, why are there breasts in the images in his head? Yes he had seen women's breasts before in porn magazines, but those were static; the images in his head, they were moving. What does these images mean? Where do they come from?? And more importantly, why does Lazarus have them??!! They were too stubborn and unclear to be Lazarus's fantasies, but Lazarus definitely haven't seen anything like that with his eyes before, so it's definitely not his memory. Could it be... that they are his past life's memories??!
The many questions and more importantly, the clearer visuals flooded Lazarus's mind. He tried to push them away but they were very persistent. They stayed, as if Lazarus wanted them too although his conscience is trying to push them away. Clutching the sides of his head with his hands, he bent over in agony as the confusion caused an unbearable headache. A wave of energy swept through his body as his rune glowed a little brighter, the red smoke swirling a little faster. He winced uncontrollably at the unfamiliar sensation coursing through his body and his mind. He stretched a shaking hand at Kyou, asking for help silently as he spent all his energy trying to contain the power slowly building up in him. Oh yes, he could sort of recognise this feeling, it's the feeling when you're about to blow up. Something that he had many experiences before. But it's a little different this time, it felt stronger, many many times stronger. With all his strength, he held down the explosion growing in him and knocked a fist onto the tank.
Thunk.
Kyou whirled around at the sound and was greeted by an unexpected yet familiar sight. "NO!!!!" was the only word he managed to utter as he was forced to run and duck behind the nearest Raevan tank.
Managed to run a little distance away from the Raevan tank after he punched on it, Lazarus keeled over in agony as the explosion happened. The rune glowed so bright that it almost blinded Kyou's eyes, Lazarus's scream was quickly muffled by the sound of the explosion that came after. It was by far the largest explosion caused by Lazarus. Walls fell, the roof crumbled and the flames burnt whatever it came in contact with. The explosion made a gaping hole in the laboratory building. There wasn't any doors dividing the rooms anymore, not even the walls.
Opening his eyes and coughing the dusts out of his system, Kyou slowly rose from the floor behind the badly charred Raevan tank. Thankfully the tanks and the Raevans within them were safe, but the glass was badly charred and melted in some places. His hearing was temporarily deafen, but the sight before him as the smoke slowly dissipated made him stoned in place for a moment.
Rising to a comfortable height, Lazarus slowly adjusted himself to the new sensation. Looking down at his newly developed body parts, he ran a hand over his abdomen in curiousity. Though it was weird, but it felt... good! He felt like he was completely reborn, despite the agony he just went through a few seconds before. He could actually bent forward now! Unlike last time when he needed to tilt his entire body to bent down to pick up something. The images that was plagueing him earlier were gone, replaced now with the new sensation that is his newly developed abdomen.
A smile spread across his lips as he raised his eyes to tell the great news to Kyou when he suddenly realised what he did. A piece of wood from the roof cracked and fell off the wall in front of his eyes. He had reduced the laboratory to rubbles. The only things standing were the Raevan tanks, and a wall to his back that protected the playroom and a small portion of Tsu's office. Kyou's personal room, the living room, the cafeteria and the reception room were completely destroyed. People on the streets had started to gather around, wondering what happened here. Lazarus stared in horror at the dirty rubbles that was once the beautiful lab.
Unfortunately, Kyou wasn't able to escape damages as well. As he finally broke from his stoned gaze as Lazarus started to move about, he raised his hand to scratch his head. It was always a bad habit of his. But instead of touching silky smooth hair, his hand came in contact with something... horrible. Dry, curly and coarse hair. Eyes bulged in horrow, he reached both his hands up to his head and felt his hair that was blown up several times it's original size, and is now standing on top of Kyou's head. KYOU'S BEAUTIFUL BLACK HAIR HAD TURNED INTO AN AFRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Early evening, the sun had just started to set. People on the street are either rushing to get dinner, or rushing back home to eat dinner. Unfortunately for Kyou though, he currently do not have a home to go to, nor does he feel like eating dinner, maybe he don't even realized that it's almost dinner time.
For the last six hours Kyou had been sitting on a piece of large rubble situated right in the middle of the destroyed lab, as if frozen in a dazed state, staring at the remains of the once beautiful lab. Now only a small portion and the charred Raevan tanks remain. His office, his room, the lab equipments, his belongings, his research, all gone in a blink of an eye. Where is he going to stay now? What should he do? Kyou had no idea. The impact was just too big for him right now. He tried closing his eyes, praying hard that it was all just a dream, that Lazarus didn't blow up in a giant explosion when he grew. But when he opened his eyes, the feeling of dread just seemed to sink deeper into his stomach. The Raevan tanks, although the tanks itself are still standing, the machine that runs it are severely damaged. Kyou give the Raevans inside the tanks one week at most, he couldn't guarantee what will happen after that. If he is not losing everything now, he will soon.
"Kyou! I think the fel essence box is still alright!" came a shout from somewhere nearby. Kyou didn't budge from his position. "And I think this other box containing some older reports next to it is still fine too."
Of course, Kyou thought bitterly. Those metal boxes were built to withstand all sorts of natural disasters. But it still doesn't change the fact that everything else is gone.
Lazarus emerged from behind some rubbles, his eyes concerned for the scientist. He was scouting around for anything that they could salvage from this... event. For Lazarus, growth was an amazing feeling, but the consequences were amazingly horrible too. If that was what destined to happen when he grow, he wished he wouldn't grow. But then again, would he be able to prevent it from happening, if he knew? Problem was he didn't knew, and he couldn't stop it if he tried, that he knew for sure. The feeling of guilt pounded him as he looked at his devastated guardian.
Giving the metal boxes a last look, he got up slowly. He is still adjusting to the new grown body parts, the feeling of having a stomach is kind of odd to him still. Tentatively, he floated around the rubbles, finding a clear path to float towards Kyou. The scientist just stared straight ahead, his eyes seemed far away, oblivious of what Lazarus was doing. The red Sigel was wary, he wasn't sure if it was the right time to approach Kyou now. When Lazarus slowly approached behind Kyou though, the scientist finally spoke.
"What are we going to do now?" his voice was small, strained.
Lazarus hesitated a little, but he spoke up after a short moment of pause. "I-I called Tsu earlier, on the public phone. He said he have extra rooms in his apartment that we could move in for now."
Kyou's shoulder jerked a little as Lazarus spoke.
"I also called Jeremy. He said he will come over and at the very least fix the Raevan tank's machinery for you as fast as he can."
Kyou lowered his head, his shoulder shuddered a little.
Lazarus couldn't bear to see this happen, his brows furrowed as he placed a hand onto Kyou's shoulder. At this touch, Kyou couldn't hold it in anymore, he finally burst into uncontrollable tears. "It's all... gone. All... gone." the trembling man muttered in between sobs, crying into his hands. From his angle, Lazarus could see tear drops dripping onto the rubble, the guilt he felt in him just swollen at this sight. Never in his life had he seen Kyou so lost, so broken, so fragile. The scientist had always been an optimistic person, always cheerful. However, Lazarus knew Kyou needed this, keeping all these emotions pent up inside is not good for him both emotionally and physically.
Moving a little closer, Lazarus placed both his hands on Kyou's shoulder. The sobbing man didn't made any move to lean into the Sigel's warm gestures, he just sat there and cried. Lazarus felt a stab-like feeling in his gut then, this cold distance feeling, perhaps Kyou really blamed him for this tragedy after all? However, if Kyou really felt that way, it was all with reason. Lazarus understood. Put all the blame on me, the incubus Raevan found himself urging quietly. I deserve it all.
The Sigel huddled a little closer to Kyou as he cried, just staying by his side quietly until the scientist stop crying.
