Chapter VII
Waves of Green
"Good Morning, Class. I am your Dueling Formulas instructor, Professor Kiara Misawa. You may call me Pr. Misawa." Kiara greeted kindly, "I hope we're going to have a great year here at Duel Academy. So, first thing's first, I'm going to put you in groups of two. So chose your partner."
Sirius and Raziel locked eyes, glaring at one another, before they both looked at Kari, who was reading a book. Raziel was closer. Both started to fight through the students. It was actually quite humoress to Kiara, who was watching them in amazement. It looked as if Raziel was gonna beat him to it, when he was suddenly surrounded by the members of Jamaican Bacon.
"Hey, Raziel! How's it going?" Cameron asked, smirking.
"Uh. Good." Raziel looked slightly annoyed.
Thanks, guys! I owe you! Sirius thought, as he approached Kari.
"Hey, Sirius!" She exclaimed, beaming. "What's up?"
"Wanna be partners?" He blurted out.
Kari thought about it for a split second, "Okay."
Sirius grinned, "Great. I'm gonna go tell Carter."
Carter, who had the wonderful position of writing down the groups, forced a smile when Sirius came over to him.
"Hey, li'l man. So who's your partner?" Carter asked.
"Kari Kaiba." His silver eyes locked with Raziel's anger filled amber ones. "Which of our friends are working together?"
Carter flipped through the list, "Alanna Tremaine and Jason Blair... Matthew Ellis and Alixandria Yuki... and Cameron Nelson and Tyler Calvin."
"Alix is still clinging to Matt?" chuckled Sirius.
"Apparantly she's grown attached." Carter pointed behind him. "Look over there."
Alix, who had pulled her layered hair into a bun, was huggling Matt's arm. He was smiling and didn't mind that much. Sirius chuckled again.
"Man, I love her. She's awesome." Carter sighed, "Keep a close eye on her, li'l man."
"Can do." replied Sirius, before he walked back over to Kari.
Ten minutes later, everyone was partnered up, Raziel working with a Ra Yellow Hawaiian girl named Makani Kilika, and were in various areas around the room. Makani had long kneelength dark, dark chestnut brown hair, and light grey eyes. She wore white kneehigh boots, a yellow skirt, a green tank, and a white Ra vest. Under her necklength parted bangs was a green headband.
"Okay, now if you will-" Kiara was interrupted by the door opening and a man entering the room.
His white blonde hair was shaggy and framed his face. His eyes were a deep green-gold and seemed almost wolfish. He wore a white short sleeved dress shirt, that was unbuttoned, over a green t-shirt, and khaki jeans with dark brown dress shoes. Michael Jamerson grinned and was carrying a baby girl in his arms.
"AW!!" All the girls cried, "Is that your daughter, Professor?"
Blushing slightly, Kiara nodded, before she motioned for Michael to come forward. Alanna was the first out of her seat and at Kiara's side.
"Looks like we'll just have to continue our lesson tomorrow." Kiara sighed. "Well, come on. I know you want to look at her." Everyone surrounded their teacher. "Class, I'd like you to meet our daughter, Airland."
Airland looked around with icy orange eyes. Her hair was a dark, dark auburn and it seemed black in the shadows. The light made the red appear throughout it. Her hair was shoulder length, thick, and had one small braid coming from her left temple. She wore a black jumper, a neon orange tank, and neon orange jelly sandals. Around her wrist was a gold, green, and red metal torc with two dragon heads coming together.
Tyler noticed it and gasped, "Where on earth did she get that torc?"
"She was wearing it when she was taken to the orphanage." Michael explained, many of the girls swooned and fainted at the sound of his voice, causing the others to sweatdrop. "Uh... Why does this happen everytime I go somewhere?"
Kiara laughed, "Must be your charm."
Alanna was playing peek-a-boo with Airland, "May I hold her, Professor?"
Nodding, Kiara handed Airland to Alanna, who rocked her gently. Airland giggled, obviously enjoying the attention. Tyler had the joy of holding her next, gently tickling her tummy, and inspecting the torc.
"Professor, are you aware that this is an authentic Celtic torc?" She asked.
Michael and Kiara exchanged a look, "It is? How do you know?"
"I've studied Celtic legends and art. This is authentic. Does Airland have any strange tattoos of any sort? Or a birthmark?" Tyler replied. She then said quietly, "And my mother was Celtic."
"I think she has a strange birthmark on her right shoulder blade." Michael answered, curious. "Why?"
Tyler gently unbuckled the jumper and moved the tank top over some. There was a birthmark that resembled the Celtic symbol for creativity. She rebuckled it and grinned.
"Airland is a special child." Tyler whispered, handing her to Kari.
Sirius stood next to Kari, both of them watching Airland, as she rocked her gently in her arms.
"You two look almost like parents." giggled Alanna.
That comment caused both adolescents to blush a deep scarlet. Kari hastily handed Cameron the baby before she went back to her seat. Cameron made funny faces at Airland, who laughed.
"He's so gentle..." Tyler sighed.
Matt spoke up, "Kinda hard to believe considering the fact one of his pastimes is diving headfirst into brick walls."
"Professor?" She turned to Kiara.
"Yes?" Kiara replied.
"Can I punch Matt's lights out?" Tyler bluntly asked.
"Not in front of the baby." smirked Michael.
Kiara smacked his arm, "Not at all, Michael! Tyler, go sit down with Kari."
The Nanobreaker Look-a-Like pouted as she sat down next to Kari, "No fair."
Makani had her chance to hold Airland, "She's so light... and such a beautiful baby." Raziel caught her eye and she blushed slightly, "Hmm... she kinda looks like Tyler, now that I think about it."
Tyler looked at her, her eyes wide. "Be quiet, Makani."
"But it's just what I think. You know me. I say whatever's on my mind. And I think she looks like she could be your sister." Makani quickly defended herself.
"I said be quiet, Makani!" growled Tyler fiercely.
Tyler knows something about Airland... and she's not telling anybody... Cameron thought, before he gently touched Makani's shoulder, "It's okay. Ty's just been a little moody lately." He then made his way towards his girlfriend, Please tell me...
The bell rang shortly after. To Tyler's dismay, Makani remained with their group. She absolutely refused to give up her theory that Tyler and Airland were related.
Mid-Campus:
"The way you look at her, Tyler! Just think about it! I know your mother has been gone for fifteen years! She could've married someone else after your dad passed and had Airland! Then gave her up!" Makani cried.
"Wrong thing to say, Makani..." muttered Raziel.
Tyler whirled around and slapped Makani across the face, "I don't want to hear another word about my mother!" Makani staggered backwards, stunned, Raziel quickly catching her. "I don't want everyone knowing I was abandoned! I don't want you implying that innocent little Airland was abandoned as well!" Breathing hard, tears burned Tyler's eyes. "Just please drop it, Makani!"
For once in her life, Makani nodded, "I'm sorry, Tyler. I didn't mean to upset you."
"That's alright. I'm sorry I slapped you." Tyler said, her lower lip trembling.
Cameron wrapped his arms around her, comforting her, "It's okay, Ty. We're all here for you. Even Makani." He glanced at Makani, who was rubbing her stinging face. "Let's go back to the Red Dorm and practice some more."
Tyler took a deep breath, "Okay. You're right."
Jamaican Bacon then departed, taking Alix with them, leaving Raziel, Makani, Kari, and Sirius.
"How long have you known Tyler?" Raziel asked.
"Since she moved to Domino. I live next door to the Martial Arts School she lived in." Makani answered, "My older sister, Leilani, and I always knew about her parents. She didn't have any relatives, and Tyler and Syrus were too busy with you-" She pointed at Sirius, "- to take her in."
Sirius felt guilty, "I feel bad now."
Kari patted his arm, "Don't. You were a baby. You did nothing wrong."
"I still have a hunch that Tyler knows more about Airland than she lets on..." Makani muttered.
"I really need to find an off switch or a mind wiper." Raziel replied. "How am I supposed to work with this?"
"You can always kiss her." teased Kari, "According to Cameron, your mind can easily be short circuited when a cute boy or girl kisses you."
Raziel and Makani both blushed and avoided each others eyes, "Like that'll ever happen."
Sirius got a smug grin on his face, "You guys would be cute together."
"So would you and Kari." shot Makani, her tan skin turning an even deeper shade of red.
It was their turn to blush. All four adolescents stared at one another, an awkward silence filling the area.
"Well... I gotta go and... uh... do my homework!" Sirius laughed sheepishly, ruffling his hair. "Later!"
He took off running down the opposte direction, towards the Ra Dorms.
"Wait a second... WE DON'T HAVE ANY HOMEWORK!!" Makani yelled, chasing after him.
Raziel and Kari shrugged, "Shall we?"
"Might as well." Kari replied, "That was so weird."
Ra Dorms:
"Phew... close one." panted Sirius, as he leaned against the hallway wall. "They almost found out I like Kari..."
Makani jumped from her hiding spot, grinning like crazy, "I knew it! I knew it!"
"Gwah!? Makani?!" Sirius blushed in horror, "No!! You can't tell anyone!!"
"Okay," She giggled, "For a price."
He groaned, "Don't even tell me..."
Makani looked shy and embarrassed for once, "Um... can you help get Raziel to like me?"
"You like Raziel?" Sirius hissed, his mouth dropping open.
"Yes! And you like Kari!" Makani hissed back, "Do we have a deal or not?!"
"I dunno-"
"OH, KARI! I GOT SUMTHIN' TO TELL YOU!"
"Okay! Okay! We have a deal!" Sirius sighed.
"Goody." Makani smirked. "Come with me."
She took his hand and began pulling him down the corridors.
"Where are we going?!" exclaimed Sirius, trying to pull free.
"You'll see!" Makani sang, winking.
He gulped. Deep in his gut, he knew something bad was going to happen. Something very very bad.
