Chapter 3
"Will you join me?" She said holding out her hand and smiled at them.
Keiko smiled and started to reach her hand out but Keitaro grabbed Keikos hand and pulled it back shaking his head slowly in worry.
Keiko then looked at him and whispered quietly. "I think we can trust her." She said trying to be calm with Keitaro knowing how he is.
"I don't know..." He said still not trusting her completely.
"Trust me Keitaro." Keiko said smiling. "We can trust her."
"O-okay..." He said letting go of her hand as she shook the hand of the adult. "We would love to join you." She said smiling.
Keitaro then began thinking to himself. If she wasn't lying about the powers then why couldn't I trust her? Keitaro thought and then relaxed a bit.
"So when do you begin training?" Keiko asked the lady happily.
"We can begin as soon as you'd like." She said. "I reccomend the sooner the better. The older you get the rustier your powers will get." She said then smiling.
"Okay let's start! Can we do it right now?" Keiko asked impatient.
"Well I don't think anything is as important as teaching fellow elementals their powers! Of course we can start right now!" She said clapping her hands.
"Yay! Let's go!" Keiko said going to the backyard and she was about to step outside when Keitaro walked infront of her.
"Uh... That's not such a good idea...." He said trying to block her from seeing. "Let's go to my house."
Keiko trusting him immediately agreed and they walked to his house with Chikako. "This is my house. Well my parents house but their not hole right now so right now it's my house."
"Okay here's the outside." He said showing Chikako the backyard.
"Wow you have a nice house and the backyard is nice also!" She said smiling.
"O-oh.. Thx..." Keitaro said blushing as the compliment. "But a lot of people are outside so don't you think we should do this inside?" He asked Chikako
"That's true. I agree we should." She said nodding her head and walking back inside.
"We can do it down in my basement I'm sure. We have a room for storage down there with nothing in it yet. It also hasn't been messed with since we moved here which was so many years ago so I honestly don't think it's ever going to be used." She said shaking his head and showing her to the downstairs and to the room.
"This will work perfect." She said matter of factly.
Keiko who had been being quiet which she rarely ever was finally spoke up. "I remember playing in this room with you Keitaro! This is where we did all of our dangerous experiments." She said giggling.
He started laughing then too. "Oh yeah I remember that!" He said and walked over to her.
Keiko then looked a bit sad. "We used to play down here all the time. Now we have so much school we hardly ever get too." She said shaking her head.
"But it was fun when we got too." Keitaro said once again trying to cheer her up in vein. He then tried to high-five her.
She instantly perked up. She was never sad for long. "Yeah it was!" Keiko said and high-fived back.
"Il never forget those happy times..." Keitaro said looking at Keiko.
"Me neither..." She said looking back both of them blushing equally hard. Keiko then walked just a bit closer and put her arms around him and her head on his chest blushing harder. She didn't say anything but just hugged him.
He opens his eyes wide in suprise at what was happening but then slowly bent over a little and hugged back at her height. He liked the hug. He thought it felt good though he didn't say anything.
Chikako then said. "If you to are done with your loving chat do you wanna train? I don't have all day you know. I do have a life."
Keiko quickly spout out. "What life? I thought you wee just looking for the other elements. Then isn't it your job to stay with us as log as we need?" She said smirking a little.
"That's not something nice to say to the person who's giving her time up to teach you." Chikako said in defense.
"This is helping you and you know it. Your just jealous of our love." She then said smirking again.
"Our what?!" Keitaro asked wide eyed again but not a good way this time.
"Don't worry I'm just kidding..." Keiko said smiling and poking his nose. "Your too gullible."
Keitaro then blushed even more at the poke and started tickling her. "Oh really? Well I know all your tickle spots and I'm gonna get you for that!" He said laughing.
Keiko then started to struggle from freedom. "N-no! Help!" She said laughing so much she started crying. "L-let go!" She said laughing more. "Please!" She said now trying to punch and kick him.
"Okay, Okay." He said letting her go still laughing as he did. "If I'm to gullible then your too tickelish!" He said the put out his hand to help the Keiko on the floor from when he dropped her.
She pouted grabbing his hand and getting up.
Chikako then looked at them again. "Ready to start now?" She said getting impatient.
"Well I don't know..." Keitaro said. "Let us talk." He said grabbing Keiko and started pretending to whisper to her as Chikako through wind magic at them causing a strong gust of wind to blow and they both fell over.
"We're starting. NOW." She said wind in her hand.
"Yes ma'm!" Keitaro and Keiko said at the same time putting their hands in the salute position.
"I'm not an army Sargent so don't treat me as one." Chikako said rolling her eyes. "Now. Magic is the practice of using all the inner power inside you and producing something on the outside." She said and opened her hand as wind slowly formed in the palm of her hand. "See?" She asked.
She then continued. "Now. I don't expect either of you to be able to do that yet." She said pouting her fingers at them. "but! By the end of today if all goes well I expect you both to be able to create something out of your magic." She said closing her hand and the power. Went away. "For example." She said a few winds sprouts coming out of her hand and forming s heart shape. No more the a second later it dissipated.
"Now. You might be thinking. Isn't that harder then just holding the magic in your hand." She said then shaking her head no. "But. Your wrong. The task of holding the magic above your hand requires much ability to be able to make the magic and then keep it up for a suspended amount of time. Simply creating something is much more simple." She then motioned to both of them. "Now let's try."
Keiko then stood up. "But I already know how. See?" She said creating a bubble and kept it up for quit a while but after a little it popped.
"Oh.. I forgot.." She said rubbing her head. "Well then you get to just practice on keeping that up longer. Keiko sighed a little but then looked happier. "Oh... Okay!" She said and went to a corner of the room.
"Now. For you." She said and held out his hand trying to get anything to come out. Eventually a small spark came out but quickly vanished.
"Not good enough." Chikako said shaking her head no.
Keitaro tried again but the same thing happened again.
She then sighed in annoyance. "It looks like we're doing to be here for a long time."
