The Fight of Fire

Chapter Four: Dream Escape

I opened my eyes.

Everything around me was dead.

The trees, the people… the earth. Everything.

"What happened here?" I asked myself.

"You" Came a familiar voice from behind me.

"What do you want?" I didn't move.

"Nothing, I'm just showing you the future Yumi darling" she spoke with an evil voice, one I had know all my life and still never gotten used too.

"I won't let this happen" I told her.

"Oh but sweetie you don't have a choice in the matter. You will destroy the earth when your powers are full."

"And what if I master them before that? You can't do anything to me if I master my powers" I reminded her.

"But who's going to teach you Yumi. Not you pathetic mother, she's dead" She sounded like she was pitying me but I knew the real reason.

"I can teach myself" I proposed.

"That's impossible and you know it."

"That's why I'm at this school isn't it, to master my powers?"

"Yumi if you were trying even a little bit to master your powers I wouldn't be able to get into your head now would I? But I can, can't I? I am here to remind you that evil will win. That you are helpless, and that I rule you. Really, no one but your mother can help you out of this, well except for an Earth Dragon, but they disappeared long ago, isn't that right" She was grinning I could fell it.

"You killed them. You killed them all in you former life because you didn't have anyone to help you, because you were ruled by me."

"You don't control me" I said steadily trying not to sound weak.

"No, not yet, but a few more mounths and you will give in letting me take over you body and your powers, because I live within you. Have fun at this school, it won't last long. Goodbye, Yumi darling" she said fading away into the darkness.

I opened my eyes breathing heavily as I slowley took in my souroundings.

I was still in Naomi's room.

Nothing was burned and no one was dead.

As I steadied my breathing I realized that I must have fallen asleep while reading Naomi's diary.

Looking over at the clock I drew in a breath when I realized it was three twelve.

How could I sleep that long?

Moving the blanket I had placed over myself before onto the end of the bed I stood up and picking up the diary I walked over to the closet.

Shoving it back into its hiding place I closed the closet.

Standing up I looked around the room for the room key.

I really had to go to the bathroom.

Finding it on the desk next I picked it up and slipped it into my left pocket.

I walked over to the door locking it and stepped into the hall.

Closing the door quietly and making sure it was locked I looked left and started walking towards the bathroom.

If Ulrich found out that I was out after my "curfew" he might report me.

I had to do this fast.

Running down the hall now I pulled the key out of my pocket and opened the bathroom door.

After my business was done I washed my hands and looked in the mirror.

My black hair had grown longer since the last time I'd used a mirror and my face seemed much more mature.

This was the new me. The new Yumi Ishiyama. The new Fire Dragon.

Fire Dragon. I hated those two words!

Because of that I was going to be hunted down like an animal and kept in a prison until it was time for my metamorphosis. Then they'd strip me of my powers and kill me.

What a future to look forward to.

Ripping my face away from the mirror I opened the bathroom door and stepped out.

Slowly I started to make my way back to the dorm still thinking about what was to become of me someday.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Historical battles my last class of the day and also the one I was the worst in.

I wonder how Yumi was doing.

I really hope she didn't leave Naomi's room.

Lots of kids ditched last class to head to the wreck room since this was the only period when every teacher had a class.

"Ulrich who was on Frances thrown when the first revolution broke out and how did he try to stop the rebels?" Sensei Myers asked.

"A, Charles the tenth?" I guessed.

I had no idea.

"No Ulrich, Charles the tenth was king after the first revolution. He was the brother of the king who ruled during the French revolution. Louis the sixteenth was the correct answer. I'd like to speak to you after class" With that Sensei turned away from me continued with her lesson.

Crap!

I couldn't stay after class. I had to make sure Yumi was still in Naomi's room!

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

'So far so good' I thought only about a minute away from Naomi's dorm.

"Woah" I mumbled.

Suddenly it was like 100 degree's in here.

I could feel my head spinning as I leaned up against the wall for support.

What was happening?

"Are you okay" I heard a male voice say.

I couldn't recognize the voice but I hoped to God that it was Ulrich.

"Here let me help you" the voice said.

I felt an arm wrap around my waist and shoulder.

Using one hand I pushed away from the wall most of my weight transferring over to the person trying to help me.

Thinking as quickly as I could with such a headache I pulled the silver key out of my pocket and pushed it in front of the persons face.

He took it from me and most likely reading the number on the key slowly helped my in what I was hoping the direction of Naomi's room.

Then everything went black.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

When the bell rang ending last period I gathered my supplies and walked up to the front of the room waiting for Sensei Myers to speak.

"Ulrich I don't know what to tell you," She started, "You're doing very badly in my class. I'm going to talk to a few of the other students and ask one of them to help tutor you but that's all I can really do. The students at this school are supposed to be able to know more than how to fight. And even though I'm sure you would disagree Historical Battles are very important to know top become a good combat specialist. Dismissed."

I bowed thanking her and taking my supplies left the room quickly.

Yeah I know this chapter is pretty short but I have a good reason for that including next chapter. And everyone who read Code: Ninja will remember the dream at the beginning. This time however the woman in this story is not her relative. You'll see soon enough who that woman is. But not the next chapter. I hope everyone likes this chapter!

I'm also going to have a contest to see who can guess who the mystery boy is. It's not very hard but who ever gets it right first will have the next chapter dedicated to them!

Review!
