Chapter 2
Keitaro looked at the person a curious look in his eyes. He looked at Keiko to ask her what she thought but she was curled up in the fetal position clearly not feeling physically or mentally alright.
He decided to go on without her and approach the person leaving her behind just a few feet away.
"U-um... Miss?" He asked from a few feet away.
She turned around looking at him in shock realizing her mistake of sticking around. She tried to think of an excuse.
"I-I just got here when..." She then stopped looking curious. "Wait a second! How can you see me?" She asked coming closer to him as Keitaro backed up putting his hand infront of Keiko.
"I'm an Elemental. No one except other Elementals can see me!" The lady said matter of factly. "That means you have to have powers also! And if your friend can see me then so does she!" The lady said shaking her head in disbelief.
Keitaro kept a calm voice as always. "I don't believe you." He then grabbed his phone. "And you've already said to much." He smirked. "I now have enough evidence to call the police." He said grabbing his phone starting to dial.
The lady then smirked also. "And what will you tell them? That someone that no one else can see is attacking? And that this certain type of person is called an elemental? Heck you don't even know my name! Besides. Even if you did there would be no way to prove I exist. No one can see me. Did you already forget that?" She then laughed "humans... They are so small minded!"
He slowly put his phone away realizing she was right. "So what were you doing here anyway for all I know you could be the murderer!"
The Lady again tried to come up with an excuse. "I-i heard this girl
Scream when and I came here to see if she was okay... And she was already dead!" The lady said putting her hands up to look like they were innocent.
Keitaro wasn't convinced. Keiko may have been but he didn't easily trust people but gets overly attached once he does.
"I don't believe you. You've already lied to me about us having powers so why would I believe you about this?" He said still not convinced.
"I can prove it. I'm a wind Elemental. Along time ago the world was full of elementals. But one day something happened and everyone dropped dead and only the ones that were chosen to be the next tribe leaders of there Element survived. They were then taken to the human world to be raised as human children." She shook her head a bit sad. "I've been searching for the rest of the elements. And I haven't been able to find one since that Happened. But looks like I might have found one." She smiled a proud smile.
"How does that prove anything?" Keitaro said looking back at Keiko quickly to check on her. She had passed out from the exhaustion and was sleeping soundly.
"Well.... I can do a simple test to prove you also have powers!!!" The lady said smiling. "Come to my house."
"WHY THE HECK WOULD WE DO SOMETHING AS STUPID AS THAT?" He started yelling. "OH YEAH BECAUSE WE GO TO YOUR HOUSE WHEN YOU COULD BE A MURDERER AND WERE SURE YOU WONT TAKE US AND THEN WHEN WERE NOT LOOKING CHOP US UP LIKE YOU HAVE DONE EVERYONE ELSE." He was still yelling.
"I already told you I didn't do it!" She said also getting a bit frustrated.
"And why exactly should I believe that? Give me a real reason this time." He said squinting his eyes at her.
"Look I'm sure I could even prove it here!" The lady said looking around. She then looked back at him. "Okay. There is only one person for each elemental. I'm the wind. And I was looking for the other people. So we can cross our wind power. So let's find out yours."
Keitaro looked back at Keiko and picked her up. "What about her. We're not leaving her behind."
"Just put her on the sofa to rest and follow me." The lady said rolling her eyes.
He didn't want to and was reluctant but obeyed and set her down on the sofa and moved the body outside to the dumpster and then followed the lady.
He followed her into the bathroom where she opened a drawer and found what she needed. She looked back at him like a teacher would.
"It's simple. I'll use this mirror and put an enchantment on it." The lady said picking up a small hand mirror.
"That's it?" He asked a bit unsure.
"That's the first step. There are 3 steps." She said putting the enchantment on the mirror. She then smashed it with the end of some nail polish she also found in the room.
Keitaro opened his eyes in surprise when she handed him a shard of the broken mirror.
"Now. Prick your finger on this. That's the second step." The Lady said putting it in his hand carefully.
"What no way that's crazy!" He said shaking his head no.
"Do you want to know or not. I could care less either way but it would be beneficial to my research."
He then slowly moved it to his fingers and looked at it unsure. "Okay. Here goes nothing." He said flinching as he pricked his finger on it.
"Okay now take a drop of blood and place it on the center of the mirror. Whatever patter it etches in that shattered glass is your Element."
"Okay...." He said and placed his finger In the center of the mirror.
The blood slowly dripped all over the mirror etching the shape of what looked like flames.
He stared in disbelief. Then looked at the Lady "What does this mean?"
She looked at him. "You've got the element of fire." She said. "From my research each of he elements had a special ability. The winds is to become invisible to anyone who isn't an Elemental."
"So what is mine then?" He asked wanting a better explanation as his 'fire blood form' she saw didn't look like anything to him.
"According to my research it should be the ability to turn into and posses the abilities of a Phoenix." She then paused looking at him seriously.
"Though you won't be able to do that until you have had lots of practice. It took me many years to learn mine and I've known about mine since I was a child."
Keitaro stuck his finger out that was bleeding and took swim bandaids from the bathroom and bandaged it up. "Should I be able to do anything to prove what your saying is true?"
She nodded. "If you have any talent at all you should be able to arm east create a small spark."
He then took that as a challenge and snapped his fingers a small spark showing.
"See? I told you I wasn't lying." The lady shook her head again. "Darn kids and their disbelief."
He then got in defense mode. "Hey your the one we caught on a crime scene!" Keitaro said shouting a bit.
She laughed. "I guess your right."
Keiko then woke up and was wandering around looking for Keitaro. "Keitaro?" She said seeing him in the bathroom.
"And who is this lady?" She said seeming perfectly fine. After all the trauma she went to Keitaro was quite confused.
"Aren't you sad at all about Andrea dying?" He asked in disbelief.
"W-who's Andrea Keitaro?" She asked turning her head like a confused puppy.
"Y-you don't remember?" Keitaro asked confused.
"N-no..." She then paused to think about it. "No I don't... Should I remember?" Keiko asked.
"N-no... It's better you don't..." He said giving her a hug happy she was at least back to normal.
Now that he thought about it all Keiko was worried about that morning was Andrea. She wasn't worried about Andreas boyfriend at all. He also realized that when Andrea came to eat lunch with them she had not been sad looking but more confused about why she was in the nurses office and not in class.
"T-this... This lady was teaching me about something special I have. She wanted to see if you also had that." Keitaro said and motioned to the lady.
"O-oh. Okay." Keiko said. She walked over. "What do I have to do?" She asked the Lady.
"Just take this shard." The lady said picking up a different shard. "And prick your finger with it."
"Oh. Okay!!!" She said and pricked her finger. "Here."
"Now press it in the center of this mirror." It was a different one than Keitaros.
She did so and the the blood slowly formed the patterns of a water storm.
"You had the element water." The lady said telling her.
"What does that mean?" Keiko asked curiously not at all doubtful.
"It means you can control water." She said.
"Oh like this?" Keiko said creating a bubble.
"Y-you already know how?" The lady said surprised.
"Well... I didn't know what it was but I've been practicing with it since I was little. But this is all I could learn how to do."
Keitaro then looked angry. "How could you have something so special and not tell me!"
"I-i didn't think you'd Belive me!" She said yelling.
"Y-you trust me that little?" He said looking more hurt then anything now.
"No I do I just.... I didn't want you to get called insane. If I showed you you'd automatically say I could should get help. But I didn't want you to get called insane when you tried to get me help which is why I never told you." She said looking apologetic.
The lady then looked at her still suprised. "It's amazing enough you knew how to use it but what's even more amazing is that water is the strongest element. And a small girl like you wields it. The power to conquer the world!"
"B-but I don't want to conquer the world. I'm happy with just conquering Keitaros heart." Keiko said smiling and blushing.
"Y-you what?" Keitaro said blushing also.
"Oh nothing!" She said poking his nose.
"So what's her special power?" Keitaro asked.
"Well I checked but no one knows." The lady said.
She then turned to look at both of them and held out her hand. "By the way. My name is Chikako. I can teach you to use your powers better and togther we can find the rest of the elementals. Will you join me?"
