Chapter 9:
"Concentrate. Focus all your energy on your palm," Gateau circled Kish, watching his every movement. Kish nodded. He extended his arm and closed his eyes. He felt the electricity dance on his fingertips. The energy moved to his palm. Beads of sweat rolls down his face. Kish bit his lip. He ignores the pain digging and zapping his hand. The lightning hurts.
Gateau smiles, he can feel the electricity build up in the air, the currents moving to surround Kish. A yellow orb forms in Kish's hand.
"Release!" Gateau ordered.
Kish opened his eyes, his orbs are glowing a bright yellow. Kish smiles and releases the orb… only for it to explode in his hand. Kish lets out a yelp of surprise. He stumbles backwards from the blow, landing on his rear. Gateau sighs and Kish frowned. Deep Blue is snickering on the side. The lightning fairy growls.
"Again!" Gateau orders. Kish scoffed and stood up. He got into a ready stance and glares at the target, a comical straw person with a sign on it. The sign reads 'Deep Blue' in large sloppy letters. Kish closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Gateau rested his hands on Kish's shoulders, pulling them back.
"Stand up straight. Helps the energy flow," the green haired fairy smirked when Kish made a face.
Kish sighed. He ignored the very annoying snickers coming from the side lines. Kish inhaled and exhaled. He continued this pattern as he searched for the lightning energy in his being. He then directed that energy to his palm, allowing it to grow. A small orb appeared in his hand sparkling and cracking with electricity. He felt the currents in the air surround him, helping him build his energy sphere.
Kish held his arm out, readying himself to release the energy. Kish smirks and releases the orb.
"PFFFT HA," Deep Blue cackled as the orb once again exploded. He is so supportive. Kish growled, obviously annoyed. Gateau smiled a thin smile and then glared at the blue fairy.
"Stop laughing. Lightning is a hard element to control," Gateau walked over to Kish and patted the boy on the back. "You'll get it. You just need time and practice."
"Time we don't have. As we speak there is a bird laying eggs on our home," Deep Blue muttered.
"'Our?'", Kish glared at the blue fairy. 'Our home?' Does that mean he intends to stay?! HELL NO. Kish is not dealing with this guy for longer than two months. Not happening.
"For the meantime, yes Kish. Our home. I do suggest you hurry up with the whole lightning business," Deep Blue yawned. "I want to strangle that bird."
"How can a fairy such as yourself strangle that bird when you can't even fly?" Kish countered. The blue fairy gave Kish a glare. Gateau sighed and walked off to the side lines. He knows what is about to transpire.
"I am not exactly defenseless, Kish," Deep Blue stated, smugly for that matter. "I have Jerichi as proof do I not?"
Kish can't argue with that. However. What elemental abilities does Deep Blue have? Kish has not seen him use any sort of magic once since living with the Ikisatashis. Yes Deep Blue is a master at combat (and strength even though he is so thin) but magic? Can he even use magic? Kish needs to know. IT'S A NEED.
"Yeah sure whatever. But what about magic!" Kish beamed. He didn't see the paling look on Deep Blue's face. Deep Blue's magic and element is… rare. So rare in fact only one known person has that element and it's the King.
And guess who Deep Blue is?
The fucking King. And this fairy is currently trying (and failing) to lay low. He doesn't want to be found out and using magic will MAKE his true identity known. Deep Blue looks over at Gateau and the fairy just smiles grimly. He shrugs. Deep Blue growls. And he can't really show his power for it is complex.
Deep Blue has a strange power called Life. He can give. He can create. He can destroy. He can take.
He can kill. Though he has never tried to use that part of his power. (Nor is he aware of that part of his power.)
He is basically god and is very over powered. Maybe that's why the Elders have him on a very tight leash. And why they give him memory swipes so he won't know (or can't know) who he truly is. And he can't show this power to Kish.
Because Kish will recognize it. Deep Blue does not want that. Kish is eagerly staring at the blue fairy, hoping he will show off.
"I rather not," Deep Blue answers. Kish scoffs.
"Why not? Is it because you can't control them?" Kish counters.
Deep Blue frowned, glaring at Kish. "No. I can control them perfectly. I just do not want to use them."
Kish scoffs again and rolls his eyes. "You don't want to show them off because my element is better than yours. Whatever."
"Sure whatever," Deep Blue shrugged.
"Or you are just weak."
Deep Blue snapped. Kish called him 'weak'. He hates being called weak. He was always known as weak. That weak child. The weak king. The weakling. Weak-minded. He refuses to be referred to as weak. Deep Blue growled as he eyes glowed red. Kish's blinked and stepped back.
"Whoa easy now. It's just a joke," Kish held his hands up in defense. Deep Blue snarled.
"A joke!? You think this is joke!?" Deep Blue shouted. He let out a cry of rage. He need something to take his anger out on. His eyes move to the target. Howling, Deep Blue raised his hands and shot out a blue energy beam, vaporizing the straw to dust. Gateau raises a brow in interest. His powers are returning. This is not good. Deep Blue pants, eyes fading back to his normal hue. There is a small fire where the dummy was located. The blue fairy blinks, eyes widening slightly at the damage he has done. He stares at his hands in confusion. He has never been able to do that before.
Or was he able to do it before? Deep Blue does not know but for some reason, this energy, this power is familiar. Why? I thought… all I could do was take powers and give not… this?
"They lied to me," Deep Blue snarled.
Kish's mouth drops open in awe. That was…destructive. Too destructive. Even for a fairy. But Deep Blue doesn't resemble a pixie. Maybe his wings are a bit too large for a fairy. (Kish's wings are relatively small compared to Deep Blue's.) Pixies are taller, more sinister, leaner, and aggressive. They have claws and fangs. And Deep Blue has come off as aggressive but sinister? Kish can't say just yet. Ever since Deep Blue knocked the shit out of Jerichi, he has been a bit more… cold. Kish shudders. The blue fairy is still staring at his hands. He looks just as confused as Kish. Strange.
"Wow. How about you kill the bird?" That is all Kish can say.
Deep Blue lets out a chuckle. It comes off as cold. "Yes this will do nicely." The blue fairly looks over his shoulder, his cold smile aimed at Kish. "I think I shall train with you, Kish."
Gateau clapped his hands together. "Alright! This will do nicely! Since Deep Blue has destroyed my only dummy (which I am certainly not happy about) Kish and Deep Blue will have to spar." Gateau walks over to Kish and leans forward. "And it's a great thing your brother is back at the house monitoring the children. I know Pie. He will die if he found out about this."
Kish swallowed. "We're going to spar? But what if I hurt him?! I-I mean I'm really good at combat and when I fight with Masaya, him and his plants are so fucking hard to beat stop smiling like that, he always seems to get hurt really bad and I get scolded and I'm worried that Deep Blue will be even more injured than he already is." Kish rambled. Gateau just took a step back, his smile widening.
"Trust me Kish when I say this, Deep Blue is tougher than you think."
Kish blinked. "You can tell by just looking at him?"
Gateau smirked and flew to the side, giving the two space. Kish looked at Deep Blue, who looks very indifferent. Like the whole laser thing never happen. The fuck?
"Summon your weapons," Gateau called out. He hopes Deep Blue hasn't figured out that yet. Deep Blue stares at his hands again. He closes his fingers over his palms, clenching his fists shut and watches as blue energy forms around them. Gateau pales. This is not good. Deep Blue stretches his arms out in front of him and positions his hands in a way that gives off the illusion that he is holding something. The energy travels up into the air, forming an object. It resembles a sword. Deep Blue glares at the energy. He then removed one hand and uses the other to swing the energy around. He swipes to the side, the form hardens. He slashes to the other side. The sound of metal clanking is filling everyone ears. Deep Blue then spins and with both hands, brings the energy down. The energy shatters revealing a long sword. The tip of the blade is a thin point that thickens down to the hilt. Before the blade reaches the guard, there is a small section connecting the blade to the guard. The ends of the blade curve inward at both sides and meet the small section of metal. The guard itself resembles a crescent moon and has a bright red jewel in the center of the metal. At the end of the sword is a green jewel imbedded in the pommel.
Deep Blue's grip tightened on the hilt of the sword as he points the deadly looking weapon at Kish, an intense look is on his face.
Kish watched the entire scene in awe. Deep Blue's weapon is large. So if Kish gets hit then that will fucking hurt. Kish never saw Gateau's paling face. Gateau has never once seen Deep Blue summon his weapon. Gateau didn't even know he had a weapon in the first place! The elders sworn that Deep Blue will always be under their control. The constant exposer to the outside world is weakening the memory spell. Gateau smiles. This will be very interesting once the King recovers all his memories. It will be a great thing to witness once Deep Blue finds out about his true origins.
"I didn't know you had a weapon! It's so big! Masaya has a sword too but not like that holy shit," Kish beamed. Kish is slowly starting to see the true Deep Blue. And he is enjoying it. But Kish still doesn't want him living with Kish and his brothers. He is still mad at Deep Blue for being childish the other week. Kish popped his knuckles. "Summoning my weapon is something I am actually good at." Kish smiled smugly.
Deep Blue scoffs. "Prove it then."
Kish held out his arms in front of him but his arms are crossed, his left is over his right. Yellow energy travels down his arms and into his open palms. Kish smiles. The energy in Kish's palms separate to form three points. Kish then closes his hands around the energy. He flies up into the air doing several flips. He hesitates then falls. He spins and the energy grows brighter. He twists his body around so that he is diving face first. He is aimed right at Deep Blue.
"You fool they aren't formed yet!" Gateau shrieks. Deep Blue readies himself, gripping his sword tightly.
Kish does a spin and yells as he swipes down. Gateau covers his eyes.
A loud crash is heard. Gateau peaks through his figures and noticed that Kish's weapons are fully developed. He is pushing on the blue fairy's sword, trying to get him to his knees since Kish currently has the advantage for being in the air.
Kish's weapons resemble three bladed daggers. But he calls them Dragon Sais. And he has one in each hand. The blade itself is very thin. And the guard is wide. In the center of the guard is a blue jewel and the hilt of each blade is black. Kish removes one blade from Deep Blue's sword and stabs at the blue fairy.
Deep Blue side steps out of the way making Kish fall to the ground.
"FUCKING!" Kish swore he felt wind on the back of his neck. He immediately rolls away and stands up. He growled at Deep Blue's chuckling. "YOU BLEW ON MY NECK!?"
"You were wide open."
"But don't fucking blow on my neck! You could have like I don't know, hit me or something!"
"…you want to be hit?" Deep Blue grins. "OH you naughty boy!"
"No that's not what I meant!"
"But you said-"
"I KNOW WHAT I SAID DAMNIT!"
Gateau sighs. "I don't get paid enough for this."
