The fate has been decided for 10 kids. What will these 10 kids do when they grow up into adults… and their hearts do not wish to follow the fate, which they are destined to have?
Earth, Water, Fire, Air…
Chapter one: Child Hood
Five girls sat in the middle of the park. They were all eleven years old except the blonde with pigtails, who was ten. The blonde pigtailed girl watched with awe the raven-haired girl showing off. The raven hair girl smiled as she held up a ball of fire. The fire danced around her hands and shot up several feet into the air before landing back down into her hands again.
"WOW!" Exclaimed the blonde girl with pigtails. "That's awesome!"
The raven-haired girl smiled proudly. "I know!"
The girl with short blue hair frowned. " Rei, how do you plan on putting out that flame?"
Rei's smile broadened. "HA!" She tossed the flame into the park. A couple that was making out on a bench screamed when they saw the tree beside them on fire. They quickly ran away. "Why would I want to put it out, Ami?" Rei asked.
Ami shook her head. "Unbelievable." She then made a ball of water appear in her hand, and she threw it at the fire.
The other blonde laughed as she watched the scene. She had her hair done up with a red bow. "I wish my powers were as great!"
Rei stuck out her chest with pride. "We all know fire is the best, Minako!"
The brunette shook her head. All of her hair was gathered in a ponytail. She moved her index finger slightly and a vine came out of the ground and wrapped itself around Rei's legs.
The blonde with the pigtails laughed as Rei glared at her. "What is your problem Usagi?"
Usagi shook her head, still laughing. "Nothing at all!"
"I wanna go play!" Minako jumped up and started to run off. She looked over her shoulder and smiled. "Common Minna!"
The girls all stood up. Rei though fell flat on her face. "HEY! MAKOTO! I know you did this!"
The girls all busted out laughing except Ami. She just let out a tiny giggle.
Rei glared at the vine wrapped around her legs. She wiggled over and touched the vine. It quickly burst into flames. She was then released from them. She quickly got up and threw a fireball towards the girls. Minako kissed her hand and blew the kiss towards the ball, which made the fireball go out. She beamed; proud of her accomplishment.
"OHHHH!" Rei fumed.
"Hey!" A boy shouted. The girls all looked over to see five boys smiling at them. They were caught.
"Only I am aloud to make fire!" One boy yelled. He had raven hair and it went down to his waist. He stuck his tongue out at the girls.
"ENOUGH!" Yelled the tallest of the boys. "Don't start, Seiya!" He then looked at the girls. "You should never use your powers out in the open."
Ami blushed when she saw the tall brunette boy. His hair went down to his waist as well.
The five boys started to walk off.
The girls turned to look at each other in awe. There were more people with these powers?
Rei glared at the boys' backs. How dare any of them talk to her like that! Rei called up a fireball and threw it at the tallest boy there. He turned around and blew the fireball back towards Rei. Rei was surprised by the comeback. He controlled wind just like Minako!
Ami threw a water ball at the fire, making it go out.
" Rei, really, we should never pick a fight with someone we know nothing about! What would mother say?" Ami scolded Rei.
Rei glared at the tall brunette boy. She already knew that she hated him.
"Why don't you cool off, fire girl?" A snow white haired boy scolded from beside the brunette boy. His hair was to his waist as well.
Rei narrowed her eyes, but then she felt cold. Her legs were freezing! She looked down and saw that he froze her legs. She looked towards the boys and laughed. "Fire is what I do." She touched the ice, and it quickly melted away.
The white haired boy laughed. The brunette glared at him. "What did I just tell them?!" He scolded towards the other boy.
The boy bowed. "But Taiki… " "No buts, Yaten!" Taiki scolded. He looked back at the girls. "These powers are not toys. They should only be used when needed."
Minako walked up beside Rei. "Lets go, Rei. We don't need to talk to those low life boys."
Yaten glared at the girl and gritted his teeth. He quickly ran over to the two girls. "I don't care if you are girls! We are not low life boys!" He yelled right into Minako's face. Minako's eyes flashed and she blew at him. Suddenly, Yaten flew five feet back, and landed on his bottom.
Usagi laughed at the sight and clapped her hands. "You guys are all wonderful!"
Taiki glared at the girl, angry that she was encouraging the others to misbehave. He suddenly appeared in front of her. She looked at him in shock and then smiled. "You are so wise, just like Ami-chan!"
Taiki gave a baffled look at the girl and shook his head. He couldn't hurt the girl. He then asked, "What element do you posses?"
Usagi looked at him blankly. "None. I am just a normal human girl. Youngest sister to the others."
Taiki studied her. He then nodded his head and suddenly appeared beside Yaten again.
"AMAZING!" Usagi shrieked.
Seiya smirked. He looked at Taiki, as if to see if Taiki was watching him. He then looked back at Usagi. "Hey! Odango-atoma! My name is Seiya! Remember that!"
Taiki glared at the boy, balling up his fists. Suddenly, another boy with short raven hair shouted, "And I am Mamoru!"
Taiki looked like he was going to blow. His face was red and his ears were steaming. "STOP TALKING YOU GUYS!"
Everyone stared blankly at Taiki. Taiki regained himself and cleared his throat. "Lets go." He then walked off, the other four stayed behind, afraid to move. Taiki stopped and looked behind himself at the boys. "Would you like me to send all of you flying?" The boys suddenly ran over to Taiki, a look of horror on their faces.
Rei turned her back on the boys. "HUMPH! What stuck up boys!"
Ami giggled softly. "Actually, that Taiki guy is so wonderfully dedicated to his-"
The girls looked at her blankly.
"Sorry…" Ami blushed.
Usagi looked towards to boys again. She liked them; even though Taiki was a bother, she liked the others.
The girls all started to head home. They laughed about past adventures and smiled at each other about the ones Rei had given them all just today.
When they reached the house, they noted a new car in the driveway. The girls all looked at each other and headed up the stairs of their home. Rei pushed open the door and their mother came running to them. She hugged each one of them.
"Girls! We have surprise guests! Please make them feel welcomed as each one of you will be with the others for the rest of your lives!"
The girls looked at their mother with confused looks. "Mother?" They all said at once.
Their mother quickly pushed the little girls into the living room where five boys stood.
"WHAT?!" Rei yelled.
"Girls, meet your soul mates!"
The girls stared opened mouthed at the five boys that they had just met in the park.
Rei tossed a fireball up into the air, and then caught it. She kept catching her fireball as she glared at Taiki. They were in the girls' living room. There was a coffee table in the middle of the room that everyone sat around. The girls' mother was at the head of the table.
Yaten yawned and put his hands behind his head. He closed his eyes. He then opened one eye to look at Rei and pointed his index finger at the girl's fireball and made it go out. He then quickly closed his eye again.
"HEY! Yaten! I KNOW YOU DID THAT!!" She huffed at the boy.
Yaten opened his eyes and pretended not to know what she was talking about.
"REI! Enough!" Her mother yelled. She then looked at the table that she was standing by. "Please, everyone, realize that this is of the highest importance."
Rei looked at her mother, along with her sisters.
"We will take over." A deep voice said from the back of the room.
Everyone turned to face a man and woman entering the room. The boys all stood up and bowed.
"Please, be seated boys!" The woman said as she waived her hand and glitter escaped her fingers. The boys obeyed.
"I am the boys' father. This is my wife, their mother." The man said.
The girls all nodded their heads.
"We must explain something to all of you… Each group, our sons, and you girls, are the mystical children of the five elements." The boys' mother started.
Usagi jumped out of her chair. "There are only four elements!" She looked around the room. No one said anything.
"How dare you disgrace my mother like that!" Taiki finally said in a shriek. He narrowed his eyes at her, but before he could hurt her, his mother lifted up her hand.
"It is all right, my son. She does not know. There are actually five elements. Earth, water, Fire, Wind… and the most powerful one of all… Spirit." The woman looked at Usagi. "You, my dear Usagi, are the fifth element. As is our son, Motoki." She gestured to the boy with short blonde hair.
"The strongest?! Then why have they never used their powers?" Taiki asked.
His mother smiled. "A bird died, a little while ago… Please, honey, bring that bird in."
Her husband bowed and left the room. He soon returned with a dead bird. It was a baby bird.
"The bird fell out of its nest…" The woman said. Usagi's eyes filled with tears as she ran to it. Motoki also got up and rushed over to the bird.
Usagi took the bird from the boys' father and held it close. How could any thing sad happen to a bird that was so beautiful? A single tear fell from her eye and landed on the bird's back. Usagi gave off a white glow, it was faint, but it was there. Suddenly, the bird began to stir. Usagi opened her eyes and the baby bird sat in her hands, chirping.
"That is the power of the fifth element." The room fell silent.
"Now, the reason we are all here. It is time for you to know your destiny. Each of you has a soul mate in this room. Usagi, your soul mate is Motoki. Because you are both the fifth element. Both of you need to be protected by the other elements as you can bring them back to life. Yaten, your mate is Ami. Both of you can work with the element, water."
Yaten jumped up. No one was to tell him whom he will love for the rest of his life. He hated all girls and Ami had no hair to tug on. "HEY!"
Their mother glared at him. "This is the way it has been for centenaries! How do you assume that you have become so strong?"
Yaten bit his lip and sat down. His life was made for him since the day he was born?
"Seiya, you're mate is Rei." Their mother continued. "Taiki, you are to be with Minako. Makoto, you are to be with Mamoru."
Rei held up a fireball. "I CHOOSE WHO I AM TO MARRY!"
The girls' mother glared at Rei. "Show respect!"
Rei glared at Taiki. "At least I am not stuck with Mr. Smarty pants!" Rei tossed her fireball into the fireplace, which lit up. She smiled sarcastically at the boys' mother and sat back down.
"You are all only twelve, eleven and ten, but I know that you needed to know this now so that you will not fall in love with anyone else as you get older." The boys' mother said.
If only she knew what had happened already. If only the mother knew that the angel had already won two boy's hearts. Two boys who were not the fifth element.
Ami glanced over towards Taiki. She felt her heart sink. He was not the one meant for her… she genuinely believed he was so cool with how much he knew. She sighed and looked at Yaten. Yaten smiled at Seiya and tossed a ball of water at the un-expecting boy. The boy yelled at Yaten. Yaten giggled with delight. He was immature… and he was her soul mate.
Minako glared at Taiki. "I am so not liking this! He is so cold and evil!" She pointed at Taiki who looked bored.
"He is evil and cold!" Yaten agreed. He let out a laugh and suddenly his chair fell out from beneath him. "Taiki!" Yaten yelled as he fell on his bottom.
Taiki stood up and bowed at the adults. "I wish to be excused as I need a breather."
The parents all nodded and Taiki left the room.
Seiya looked at Rei. Rei seemed so mean. Sure, Seiya liked to play pranks and all, but Rei acted like Yaten… worse in some ways… and he didn't want to deal with her.
They were only kids… why did they already have their lives planned out?
Usagi looked at Motoki. "I wanna go play!"
She didn't understand what had just happened… but it didn't matter. Let her live out her childhood. She was only ten… the youngest of them all.
Seiya looked at the girl sadly. It was not fair. Not at all.
A/N: Hope you like this story. I figured it would be cool to have everyone in the same shoes as Usagi… and lets see how they work things out after seven years of knowing this info.
You know the drill… review!
PREVIEW!
Seiya looked over at Rei. She held her chin up high and looked over at Yaten as if he was a bug. Yaten was fixing his hair, not wanting a strand to be out of place.
Seiya giggled at Rei who was steaming mad at what Yaten had done. She smiled a wicked smile and suddenly, Yaten was surrounded by fire. Yaten glared at Seiya. Seiya pointed at Rei.
A rainstorm suddenly appeared around Yaten, which killed the fire. He glared at Rei who turned and walked away. Seiya walked over to Yaten and sat next to him. "Yaten, I can't stand that snobby Rei. I try to like her but even she can't stand me."
Yaten laughed. "I wonder why?"
Seiya eyed the angel who just exited the house, ignoring Yaten's comment. "What if I told you that I want to break this rule? What if I told you I was in love…with the fifth element?"
Yaten followed Seiya's eyes to Usagi. Yaten sighed. "I find Ami a complete bore."
Seiya looked at Yaten. "So you in?"
Yaten smiled and looked at Seiya. "Hell yeah!"
