A/N: Well, here's the 4th chapter. Hope y'all like it. R/R..Thanks.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I looked at all my friends and smiled. "Well, looks like we all changed a little."
Iselia laughed and pointed to her teeth. "We don't need no more orthodontists either! Look our teeth are AAAALLLLL straight!"
Shard smiled and said. "We don't need glasses anymore either!"
Reika looked at all of us and she jumped up in the air pumping her fists. "THIS IS SO COOL!"
"Well, lets go check in with Ryuu and Kaii then everyone!" I yelled starting to run towards the door. I reached it and turned around smiling widely at all my friends. "Coming?"
"YEAH!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
As we exited the door, we saw not even a glimpse of Ryuu or Kaii. I closed my eyes and concentrated. I smiled. I could see their auras glowing in the room.
"Ryuu, get out of the rafters. Kaii, please remove yourself from your invisible form." I said smiling as Kaii appeared and Ryuu jumped down from the rafters.
"So your powers have been accepted, and have grown considerable." Ryuu said smiling at us all.
Kaii just smiled and looked us up and down. He began to mutter. "Shard...Earth. Reika... Wind. Emiko... Water. Iselia..Fire." He stopped at me and his mouth dropped wide as he gazed upon me.
I scuffed my foot on the ground and blushed as he gazed upon me. "Will you stop looking at me like that.. It makes me uncomfortable."
Ryuu walked over to me and I blushed deeper as he ran his finger across the marking on my shirt. "Heaven.. you received the Celestial Dragon Hardy..." He whispered looking up at me.
I nodded and kept my gaze on the floor. "Why is that any different from all the other dragons?" I grumbled, mad at being singled out from the group.
Kaii kneeled down in front of me and grabbed my chin. "We weren't even aware that the Celestial Dragon was a choice for you. That was the dragon for the savior of this world.. The one who is to kill Soetsu... The angel of light."
I felt my eyes heat up and a few tears began to form. "Why me? Why is all of this placed upon me?" I sobbed glancing at all my friends as they stood there just staring at me.
Ryuu kneeled down and brushed the tears off my cheek with the pad of his thumb. "It is placed upon you because it is only you who has the power of mind, body, and spirit strong enough to save all of us." He leaned in and whispered in my ear. "Only you can save us..." He pulled away and stood up along with Kaii.
"When are we getting our weapons?" Questioned Shard scratching the back of his neck.
"SHARD!" Reika yelled slamming her fist into his stomach. "NICE WAY TO RUIN A SERIOUS MOMENT JERK!"
Iselia and Emiko giggled, and Reika sat with arms crossed as Shard doubled over in pain. I just sat stunned, my mind still on the fact of my dragon. I looked down as I felt someone grab my hand and squeeze it comfortingly. I felt my face flush as I saw that it was Ryuu that had grabbed my hand. I looked up at him and he smiled at me.
"Well, it's time for the weapons and armor!" He said gleefully. "Just follow me."
He continued to hold my hand as he led us to a darker corner of the room. I looked back and saw the rest of the group following us, Shard still rubbing his stomach painfully. Reika, Emiko, and Iselia just grinned at me giving me the thumbs up and mouthing, 'Nice job you got a cute guy!' I flushed a brighter red and turned back around.
"Well! Here we are everyone!" Ryuu said beaming at all of us.
I looked around confused, my hand slipping from Ryuu's grasp. "Ummm... Where are they?" I questioned looking around for the weapons and armor. I turned back to Ryuu with a questioning glance. He smiled and a gasp sounded from all of my friends.
"Hardy! LOOK!" Emiko yelled pointing behind me.
I turned around and my mouth dropped open. The place that had just been empty a second before was now full of shiny silver weapons, and gold plated armor. "How..how, how..." I stuttered gazing upon the weapons.
Kaii grinned and smiled, placing his hand on Reika's shoulder as she tried hard not to blush. "It's what you wanted to see, so you see it."
Shard jumped up and grinned. "YEA! WEAPONS! WHOOOO HOOOOO!" He yelled.
Reika grimaced and tried hard to keep her hand from punching Shard in the face. "Will you..SHUT UP!!!" She yelled turning on Shard.
Shard just stood there his hand stuck in mid-air. "OOOOOOKKKK! My god, bad temper...GEESH!"
"Well, calm down you two! And Iselia, would you please stop glaring at Reika? Now it's time to get your weapons.. EVERYONE UP!" Ryuu yelled jumping up to the weapons and gesturing towards them.
As we rushed up to the weapons, it seemed as if a strange spell came over us. It seemed as though my eyes glazed over, and I was put into a trance. I looked at my friends and saw they had the same look as me, and were heading towards the weapons. I turned towards the weapons and saw two that seemed to be glowing. I walked towards them and as I got closer, I reached out and they shot into my hands. It was then that the trance lifted and I saw my friends and their weapons.
"Ok! Now that that's over." Kaii said glancing at each of us. He laughed as he saw our strange looks and glancing over the weapons. "You have no clue what they are do you?" We all shook our heads in amazement, we had no clue. "Well, Ryuu tell 'em."
Ryuu nodded and stepped up to all of us. "Shard... You posses the Bow Staff of Earth."
Shard nodded and smiled. "Duh! I knew that. I've been using these since forever!" He said cockily.
Reika shook her head and frowned. "Baka..."
Ryuu moved on to Iselia. "Iselia. You hold the Bow of the fire starter."
Iselia smiled and nodded. "Sooooo... I'm kinda like a pyro?" She said giggling while Ryuu shook his head.
He then moved to Emiko. "Emiko, you hold the Water Chain Scythes." He pointed to the two scythes she held in her hand.
I began to feel a laugh starting in my throat, I couldn't contain it. "HAHAHAHA!!!!! EMIKO!? WITH CHAIN SCYTHES?!" I fell to the floor laughing.
"What's so funny!?" Emiko demanded crossing her arms and pouting.
Reika began to giggle and pointed to her scythes. "You, Emiko, have no coordination whatsoever... You know that. You'll chop off your own arm!"
Emiko frowned and kept her arms crossed as Ryuu moved on to a still giggling Reika. "Reika. You hold the Katana of the wind sorceress."
Reika smiled and grinned evilly. "Cooool..."
Ryuu then moved onto me. He gazed upon my weapons and ran his fingers across them, gently brushing my hands with his. I blushed heavily and looked at Ryuu. "Hardy. You have the Kodachi, and Katana of heaven."
I smiled and looked at my weapons. Ryuu grabbed my hands and as I shook at his sudden aggressiveness, he placed the kodachi side-ways on the Katana. I gasped as a bright light was emitted from the swords as they bonded together and formed a marble-like crossbow.
"WOW!" Everyone yelled as they looked at my newly formed weapon.
Ryuu nodded and looked me in the eyes. "Do not do that, unless you are in dire need of help."
I tilted my head to the side and gave him a strange look. "Why?" I questioned.
Ryuu leaned in, his mouth inches away from my ear. "Because....I cannot tell you my dear! You have to find out yourself!"
My mouth dropped open and I gaped at Ryuu. "Ok....."
"Now, I will give you your armor after you train. You have no need of it till then." Ryuu said sternly. "Now off to the training hall!"
I began to walk and as I did Ryuu turned around and looked at my flushed face. I was still feeling the effects of him touching my hand. "Why are you blushing?" He asked smiling at me and grabbing my chin.
I felt myself freeze as Shard began to yell. "IT'S BECAUSE SHE HAS A CRUSH ON YO-"
I lunged at Shard and my fist came in contact with his jaw. I looked up as I felt two other forces hit Shard. As he fell to the ground in a heap, I saw that Emiko had kicked Shard in the back of his head, and Reika had kicked him in the stomach.
"What were you guys doing?" I questioned looking at Iselia as she ran over to Shard and picked him up gently, though she was giggling non-stop.
Reika gave me a 'V' sign and smiled. "One, I couldn't let him embarrass my best friend. Two, why pass up an opportunity to hit him?"
Emiko giggled and also gave a 'V' sign. "Same as Reika-Chan."
I giggled as we headed back to the way Ryuu was leading us to the training hall, Iselia grumbling and dragging Shard behind us. Little did we know, our adventure was just about to begin...
