Chapter Ten

Seven Elements

"Attention!" Daichi shouted. He was frustrated, no one was paying attention. Instead they were talking, trying to figure out why he had called them there. "HELLO!" he gave one last shout. Nothing. A wave of darkness clouded around the crowd. Everything went silence and they turned to glare at him. He smiled and waved, glad to have the spotlight at last.

"What are we doing here?" someone shouted. The room filled with murmurs.

"I called you here, because this girl," he pointed to a girl with boy cut brown hair and chocolate brown eyes, "killed our parents. I lost a dad. Others lost mothers. Some even lost both of their parents. All because this girl abused her powers." The others nodded. Some backed away, not quite over the loss. "Her name is Haruhi Fujioka. She's the prophesied water mage. I want revenge."

"If she killed our parents, some of the most advanced mages, how do we know she won't kill us?" another person shouted out. She felt guilty….

"Because she won't be expecting us. She may be a powerful mage, but she is inexperienced and not perfect. We can over power her, we can learn from our parents mistake," Daichi told the crowd. More murmurs.

"And what would that mistake be, besides facing this Haruhi Fujioka?" a boy spat.

"They chose the wrong time to attack. The prophecy specifically states that she can't face us alone, she has to have eight other mages with her. If we can separate them, she'll be vulnerable."

"And how do you suppose we do that?"

"This is how." Daichi raised his hand, palm up. A mini orb of darkness floated above it. Then a water orb, a fire orb, a lightning orb, and suddenly all seven elements were floating above the palm of his hand. The other hand glowed with seven elemental tattoos. The crowd gasped.

"H-how?" one guy stammered.

"I have my ways," Daichi growled. The orbs vanished. "That's beside the point. With this, we can win."

"So… what now?" a girl asked.

"We train… We spar… Leave getting her away from the other mages to me, I'm already on it. We'll have to defeat the other mages as well, or they will find away to help her."

"Won't we need a leader?" someone shouted out. "I volunteer Daichi, as he seems to be the only one who knows what we're doing." Daichi shot him a look of appreciation.

"I accept." When no one protested, Daichi continued, "We should start training then."

…..Time Skip….

"Alright….. Umm…. Elements vs Light, your match starts….. Now!" a guy called.

Daichi was facing a girl light mage. She was considered best of the light mages. She circled him, ready to attack at any moment. Daichi waited patiently. Finally she shot a beam of light at him. He met it with his own, but she clearly had more power behind hers. It pressed through him, and he had to bend over backwards to avoid it. He shot a wave her direction, and was shocked to see how weak it was. He followed it through with a beam of darkness. She fell backwards, landing in a sitting position. She laughed evilly, tripping him with a wave of light. He was blinded for a moment before he struck back with a lightning bolt. She stayed still for a moment before shuddering weakly. She shot an orb of light at him, but he ducked. He pushed himself at her with a gust of wind and wrapped a line of dirt around her.

"Five, four, three," the boy counted down. She struggled against the binds, finally breaking free with a burst of light. Daichi had been expecting this, though, and shot a flame at her, scorching her arms. She winced in pain, and Daichi bound her again, this time in darkness. "Five, four, three, two, one." She stopped struggling and the binds vanished. "Winner is Elements."

She approached him. "Daichi-kun."

"Chin-chan." She stuck her tongue out at him at the use of her nickname. Her full name was Chinatsu.

"I would congratulate you on your victory, but it is simply because of your six extra elements that you have won."

"Whatever makes you feel better, Chin-chan."

"It's Chinatsu. Chin at su. Get it through your head."

"Mmhmm." He smiled at her and she groaned. "That's it for today. Go home and get a good night's sleep," he called out to the others. They bowed their heads and left.

Daichi sighed. Revenge. It seemed like that was all his life was about. He would have to think of something to do when this was over. He looked up at the tall ceiling of his mansion's training room. An orb of darkness appeared. An orb of light appeared next to it, and the orbs fused as one. This continued one by one until only water remained. The orb was huge now, and you could see the elements mingling and swarming around each other. It seemed like every element had a pair. Light and darkness. Earth and air. Fire and electricity. Powerful against and with each other. So where did water fit in? It almost seemed lonely, when you thought about it. Daichi wondered if Haruhi felt it. She felt guilty…..

"Daichi-kun!" Daichi snapped out of his thoughts, and the orb of elements fell from the sky, leaving him covered in a mess of elements. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to sneak up on you." He shook himself out, looked up, and laughed. He felt….. refreshed, in a way.

"Did you need something?"

"Um, I was wondering how you gained control of all seven elements." Daichi kept his head tilted back, but he looked to the side, at Chinatsu. She was his childhood friend. Surely he would tell her, but not now.

"You'll know in time."

…..Time Skip….

Haruhi started walking towards the school from her new apartment. Based on her calculations, the walk would take no more than a minute more than it used to. In the corner of her eye, she saw a limo pull past her. She figured it was one of the rich kids or other that lived around the area. To her surprise, it pulled to a stop. Still, she continued walking.

"Haruhi-chan!" She stopped in her tracks and looked at the limo that was parked next to her. The backseat window was rolled down, and Daichi had his head sticking out.

"Good morning, Daichi-kun. Are you on your way to school?"

"Yeah. Do you want a ride?" She hesitated. Mori was wary of Daichi as it was, and arriving at school with him wouldn't help. She shrugged it off and nodded. He opened the door for her and scooted over to the other side, letting her in. She smiled at him and closed the door.

"Thanks." She settled in next to him, and couldn't help but notice the cologne that he was wearing.

"No problem." They sat in silence for most of the ride. She kept shooting him glances when she thought he wasn't looking. Mori seriously thinks that Daichi likes me? No way, we're just friends. Good friends at most, but nothing more. She looked away quickly when he met her gaze. "Are you ok?" he asked her. She shrugged.

"It, it's nothing. Mori just isn't used to me being friends with guys that he doesn't know." She wasn't sure if the reply she gave made sense to him, it didn't to her. It must have, he shrugged.

"He'll get used to it." He grabbed her hand and gave it a quick reassuring squeeze before dropping it again. She smiled at him in thanks and they pulled up to the school.

"My darling daughter is late!" Haruhi winced at Tamaki's shrill voice.

"Boss, class doesn't start for another five minutes," the twins told him off.

"Still, that's late for her…." Kyoya dropped off.

"I hope Haru-chan's ok. Right, Takashi?"

"Mmh." Haruhi smiled at the sound of her boyfriend's rich baritone voice.

"Sir," the chauffeur said as he opened Daichi's door and helped him out. She avoided his hand as she helped herself out. She saw Mori's eyes widen in surprise, before he scowled slightly.

"Thanks for the ride, Daichi-kun. See you in class." He nodded and left the group of friends, smirking when he thought they couldn't see his face.

"What were you doing with Dai-chan, Haru-chan?" Hani asked. Mori looked like he wanted to know the same thing. She walked up to the gentle giant and gave him a quick reassuring kiss on the cheek.

"Daichi lives close to my new apartment, so he offered me a ride. I accepted and you know the rest. Nothing happened on the ride here," she explained, looking at Mori the whole time. He growled and pulled her into an embrace.

"Good. Mine." He rested his chin on the top of her head and she smiled.

"Mine," she repeated.
