Chapter 2: The new challenge.
"Gezz I freaking hate small spaces." said Ze as he got out of the moving truck.
"Well just be glad it is over." i said holding my backpack.
"Ok so this is the school Kiyo goes to?" he asked.
"Yup just be prepared for everyone to swarm around me again." I said.
"Well I'll protect you." he said.
"Oh well aren't you my knight in shining armor." I said sarcastically.
"Well from what you said about Kiyo but I hope he doesn't do that." he said walking through the door to the school.
We walked to the door of the class room and knocked. "Ah students we have two new students. Come in introduce yourself." said the teacher.
"Hopefully you remember little old me." i said with a smile on her face.
"Shion!" they all yelled at me.
"Shion your back." yelled all the boys.
"Hopefully the other student is a hot girl too." said Kane.
"Get in here Ze." I said.
"Alright I'm coming." he said walking into the class. "Was sup I'm Ze nice to meet you all." he said staring at Kiyo.
"Class socialize for the rest of class." said the teacher leaving the room.
Every boy started to race after me and then Ze stood in front of me. "Hey how about you just let her rest I mean she gets her today and you try to attack her with questions." he said.
"Who are you to tell us what to do." they all asked.
"I told you I am Ze also Shions roommate" he said.
"Wha?" they all said looking confused
"Fine, but because we feel like it not because you told us to." said Kane.
"Hey you Kiyo come here." he said.
"Hi it's nice to meet you, but how do you know my name?" he asked.
"Well Shion said you don't over react to everything and since you are the only one still sitting there after the teacher left I guessed you were Kiyo." he said.
"Oh aren't you smart. Hey Shion it is good to see you again." said Kiyo.
"Hi Kiyo." I said.
"Oh hello again Shion." said Zatch in his duffle bag.
"Zatch what are you doing here." shouted Kiyo.
"I followed you." he said.
"Hi Zatch." I said.
"It is good to see you again Shion." said Zatch.
"Hi Zatch." said Ze.
"Oh hello it is nice to meet you." he said.
"Zatch you mean good to see you again right." he said.
"No I never met you before." he said.
"Zatch come on quit fooling around." he said.
"I said I never met you Ze." he said.
"Ah-ha you do know me." he said.
"No, but that name seems familiar." he said.
"What happened to him?" I asked.
"So you are a mamodo and by the sound of it you knew Zatch." said Kiyo.
"Ya I'm a mamodo and ya Zatch was my best friend." he said.
"Well Zatch lost his memory when he came to the human world." said Kiyo.
"Oh, ok." said Ze looking disappointed.
"But he still makes everyone his friend so it is like nothing happened." said Kiyo trying to cheer him up.
"Hey didn't you have something to tell Kiyo when we got here." I said changing the subject.
"Oh ya,. Kiyo get all of your mamodo friends to meet up it is really important." he said.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-..-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
A week passed and all of Zatch's friends met up at Kiyo's house. We walked into the room and about five seconds passed before I heard Tia say "Hey I know you your Ze. Zatch and you always sat under a tree. You never went to the mamodo school either."
"Ah yes hello Tia nice to see you again." he said.
"Why are you telling us stuff I mean you never used your spells anyway so you are weaker then Zatch." she said.
"Cause I am the only one who knows what you are all doing here." he said.
"Oh ya." she said.
"Any way first off I am Ze and you all have a big problem. Forty new mamodo have been sent to the human world I am one of them. They where sent here by a mamodo looking for revenge on all of you especially you Zatch." he said.
"Me why me?" he asked.
"Cause you are the one that defeated him. You all fought him, but Zatch actually burned his book." he said.
"You don't mean." said Kiyo.
"Yes I mean Zeno." he said.
"Who is Zeno?" I asked.
"Zeno is Zatch's evil half." said Megumie.
"Right and everyone sent here had there book cursed to kill you all." he said.
"So that would mean you are going to kill us too." said Tia standing up as everyone grabbed there book.
"The reason I won't kill you is because my book was purified by a girl I think her name was kalala….klola… um."
"Kalulu." said Zatch looking down.
"Ya that's her she trusted me because I was Zatch's friend." he said. "Anyway you all must be prepared for a battle a big one. Kiyo I will now answer your question you have been asking all week the reason Shion is my partner is because the first person to touch my book becomes my partner doesn't matter if she had a partner before." he said.
"Ok I guess that makes sense." said Kiyo.
"Same way with everyone else the first person to touch the other mamodo's book will also become cursed as well." he said.
"Wow." I said.
"Yeah and everyone needs to enhance there skills to defeat the enemies that await us all." he said "Now this may seem odd, but everyone should stay with one mamodo group to stay protected." he said.
"Alright I will stay with Kiyo and Shion." said Megumie as she grabbed Kiyo's arm.
Everyone choose a partner then left after that. "Alright that was quick." I said.
"Ya, but it had to be done." said Ze.
"Ya I guess you are right." I said.
"Well come on Shion lets go learn what my spell does." he said slipping on his shoes.
"You mean you never actually used your spells?" I asked.
"Nope cause I never needed to." he said. "Zatch, Kiyo want to come help me train?" he asked.
"Yeah sure we are on our way." they said.
"Ok let's go." I said as we walked out the door.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-..-.-.-.-..-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
We arrived at the water front to make sure nobody got hurt from the spells. "Ok let's try this first spell out Shion." Ze said facing the water.
"OK. Zearou!" I shouted as the book glowed.
His clothes changed from black to red. "What am I suppose to do?" he asked.
"Try to shoot something from your hand." said Zatch.
"OK." he said holding his hand out trying to shoot something from it.
"Or not." said Zatch laughing nervously.
"Maybe it is like rouzeruk." said Kiyo.
"What?" I asked.
"That spell gives Zatch a temporary boost to his agility and strength." said Kiyo.
"That makes sense. Ze try to jump as high as you can." I said to him.
"Ok sounds fun." He said as he jumped up about 50ft.
"Whoa." I said in amazement.
"YAHOOOOOOOOOO!" he yelled as he came back down. "That was fun, but I want a little more challenge." he said looking at me with an evil smile.
"W…w…what are you doing?" I asked as he picked me up.
"Come on the view is awesome up there." he said as he got into position to jump.
"No no no no I'm afraid of ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" I yelled as we jumped up high into the clouds.
"Hey look." he said as I opened my eyes.
"Whoa the view is beautiful." I said looking at the town from above. Then the sun bounced off of Ze's black spiky hair. I then stared into his face and though about how cute he looked.
I guess I was blushing cause then he asked "Hey are you alright maybe I shouldn't have brought you up here." he said as we rapidly made our way down.
"No I'm glad you did it was cool." I said as he put me down.
"Well that was unexpected." said Kiyo walking over to us.
"Ya but it was fun" said Ze as his clothes turned back to normal.
"Good thing you didn't hesitate on picking me up." I said.
"Ya come on let's go home." said Ze.
"Race you there." I said as I raced up the hill.
"Hey wait up." he said.
"Owwwwwwww!" I yelled in pain while holding my ankle.
"What happened?" asked Ze kneeling down next to me.
"I tripped now my ankle hurts like crazy." I cried.
"Shhh. It will be ok I'll take care of you." he said in a loving voice while picking me up from the ground and wiping away my tiers.
"Thank you your to kind." I said putting my arms around him and crying into his shoulder.
"It's ok just let it out." he said softly as we walked back home.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-..-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-..-..-.-.-..-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
We entered the house and he set me down on our couch. He put a blanket over me.
"Alright I don't think it is broken, but your going to the doctor tomorrow just to be sure. For now let's just make sure it has pressure on it." he said wrapping my ankle with a bandage.
"Alright. Hey I'm hungry can you make me something?" I asked.
"Ya sure, how does soup sound?" he asked.
"Sounds good." I said.
He came into the living room with vegetable soup and some milk. "There you go." He said sitting next to me.
"Thanks but what's with the milk. Milk isn't good with soup." I said.
"Well if it is broken you will want ti heal so drink your milk." he said turning on the TV.
"Alright." I said picking up the cup and gulping down the milk.
I finally started to eat the soup. I finished it in about 20 minutes then set it back down on the coffee table. I then leaned on Ze's shoulder and asked "Mind if I lay on you?"
"Nope just relax and kick back." he said placing his arm around me.
I would usually throw the persons arm off of me as soon as possible but I couldn't do it to him. I haven't known him long but for some reason I have fallen for him. Although I would never say it due to the rejection I might get.
