Chapter 4: Hidden Memories
Noriko had decided not to tell her friends about what Izark had said until after school walking back home with Kira and her boyfriend, Rei, who just listened quietly.
Noriko: He said we've met three years ago.
Kira: What? You are a little dim-witted. Why can't you remember a cute guy's face? He is cute right?
Rei: Hey! What's that supposed to mean? Why are you checking out other guys if you have me?
Kira: -with a mischievous grin- I'm looking out for other possibilities…Rei: Hey! – grabbing Kira in a bear hug-
Kira: -giggle- What did I do?
Noriko: -sighing- You two are so…All the breath in Noriko had left her when she saw who was standing in her front yard. It was Izark dressed rather strangely in black pants, sandals, and a robe-ish shirt. Surprisingly, Rei was the one to step out first.
Rei: What are you doing Izark?
Noriko: You know him?
The next few events happened so quick, no one actually saw what was happening. Izark sped towards Noriko grabbing her hand while Rei touched Izark's forehead with his index finger and Kira ran to the commotion hugging Rei's other arm. And with that, the whole group vanished into a deep vortex, falling through nothingness first, then clouds, and mountains, and finally landing on golden grass.
Kira: -panicking- What the hell's happening?
Kira felt around until finding Rei and hugging him.
Kira: I-I-m s-s-c-a-re-d…Rei: Well don't be. –hugging her back- I'm here. Izark! What now, you bastard!?
Izark: Noriko? Are you okay?
Noriko's eyes were closed and she was grabbing her head with both her hands, moaning. She seemed to be feeling a great pain. Suddenly, her eyes were wide open and tears started to flow down her face.
Noriko: I remember everything! –turning to Izark, still crying but with a smile- Izark… Why did you-
Noriko wasn't able to finish that sentence since Izark lifted her chin up and kissed her. Noriko kissed him back, loving the way it felt to be in her beloved's arms. it was him that pulled back first, his face beet red for having done something so out of the blue.
Izark: Noriko, I had to send you back home three years ago. I wanted so much to avoid what you have to do now.
Rei: Oh please, Izark. You know she had to do it! But you still sent her back.
Kira: What's going on?
Rei: Three years ago, Noriko came to this world with the power of the two Elders.
Noriko: Elders? I remember it was a bomb…Kira: I thought the police had said you were kidnapped and you couldn't remember cause of the shock…
Noriko: No, I wasn't kidnapped. When the bomb exploded I landed here on this golden grass too. Izark saved me from some monsters, and I couldn't understand him at first… Hey! How can Kira understand you Izark?
Izark: You're the link between your world and here…Kira: Hold one! I still don't get it why are we here? Rei! How did you know Izark?
Rei: … Because-
Izark: Because three years ago, Noriko was destined to awaken me, the sky demon. Now she must do the same for the fire, earth, and water demons. And it just so happens that Rei here is one of them.
Kira/ Noriko: What?!
