Note: I'm finally almost done! Only like thirteen chapters left or so!
I hope I get these sent in soon because my wrist hurts, plus, it's just
getting so hard to send them in. Sorry they're so short!
The Dark Side: Just A Dream?
"I hope she'll be okay." Yoh said as he looked up to the ceiling as the
two left the class for lunch.
Manta nodded. "She'd seemed just fine when I looked at her last before
she fell to her knees. It was strange how quick she got hurt or sick."
Yoh looked down at his stomach before he said anything else, pulling
his headphones off and yawning. "I'm gonna put these up for a while."
he said.
Nodding, Manta headed on to the cafeteria. "I'll see you in a minute,
Yoh-bunny." he said.
As Manta left Yoh's sight, Yoh looked at his hands as he stopped
walking. "That was just a dream." he told himself. "But, it, felt so
realistic, like it wasn't."
"Asakura?" came the teacher's voice from behind Yoh.
Turning to face the teacher, Yoh bowed a small hello.
"Why aren't you in the cafeteria with your friend?" the teacher asked
as he walked to Yoh.
"I was just thinking. That's all." Yoh replied.
"Penny for a thought?"
"Well, what if, someone in the class had been responsible for that
girl's pain? Like, if they were the cause, but didn't know?" Yoh
asked.
"Like strong mental powers?"
"A little."
"That would be strange. But if they didn't know they did it, they
couldn't possibly mean to have done it. In which case, they wouldn't
get in trouble if they were discovered. Why do you ask, Asakura?"
"No reason." Yoh lied. "I was just wondering."
"Alright. Well, I'll see you back in class."
Watching the teacher's back as he walked towards the cafeteria, Yoh
sighed. "I've got to find out what's going on." he said to himself as
he walked to the library.
Minutes later, Yoh was seated at one of the computers in the library
with four books on the floor resting by his feet, each one about dreams
and Egyptian Gods.
Flipping through the pages of the books as the webpage on the computer
loaded, Yoh sighed. How likely was it he would find something,
anything, on curses and that kind of power?
"There's no reason to keep searching. It's foolish to think there
might be something in here about what I'm looking for." he said aloud
after a few minutes.
Standing up, Yoh stretched and started pushing the chair into its
original place.
Beep. Beep.
+What the-?+ Yoh thought to himself as he looked at the computer.
+It's finally done.+
Sitting bak down, Yoh scrolled down the webpage and scanned over what
he'd found.
"There are some who speculate, however, about the human's mind's
ability to do things so subtally that the body does not suspect what
happened. In one instance, a home was concidered haunted with
poltergiests because, every n ight, the door would lock itself and shut
while the couple who owned the house slept. In another example, an old
woman, sick and dying of AIDs, sent her picture to a young man in New
York claiming to have healing powers, which he tapped into by merely
touching the picture of the sick individual. Days later, the old woman
went to the doctor for her monthly check-up, yet, no sign of the AIDs
virus was found anywhere in her body. These are just two cases of many
others out there where the power of the mind outweighs the power of
common logic." Yoh read out loud.
+Hm. Maybe it wasn't a dream.+ he thought. +But, I don't hurt anyone.
I couldn't hurt someone without knowing it if I can't even hurt someone
and mean it.+
Shaking his head, Yoh sighed and got up, closing the window to the
webpage and picking up his four books as the bell rang.
"Lovely." Yoh groaned. "Lunch is over. I've got to get to class."
Putting the books up, Yoh headed out the door for his classroom and
stretched.
Outside the classroom door, Ren was leaning against the wall, arms
crossed over his chest lazily.
"Hey." Yoh said with a smile. "What're you doing by my class? Don't
you have math or kendo now?"
Ren simply cocked an eyebrow and sneered at the Shaman. "I'm here to
see if it's really true." he said.
"If what's really true?"
"You know."
Leaning forward from the wall, Ren looked at Yoh's confused eyes and
down to his stomach, gently grabbing his arm and pulling him aside.
"The whole cemetary is buzzing about the news." Ren said. "Word on the
tombstone is one of the local Shamans is going to have a child. Now,
with Anna moved, you're the only feminized Shaman here. So it must be
you, Yoh."
"Ren, you're worrying me. What are you talking about?" Yoh asked a bit
startledly.
"Don't play with me. You know what I mean. I know it's you I can tell
the energy in you is less than normally it would be. It's going
somewhere, and I know it's going to the child that you're carrying."
"Let go of my arm now, Ren." Yoh said annoiedly.
"When you tell me why you're living up to what your past had been." Ren
snapped.
"Ren, he said to let go." came a voice from behind Ren and Yoh. "He
meant to do it now."
"Manta!" Yoh said in deep relief.
"I'm waiting, Ren."
Looking back to Manta for a second, Ren looked into Yoh's eyes and
scowled. "I'll see the child is kept safe." Ren said as his voice
darkened, a jackel-like smirk on his face.
"I'll see your Shaman, the child, and anyone else who stands in my way
to victory in the ground and six feet under. Starshine is already
losing anyway." Yoh replied as a small hint of an evil red glint
appeared in his eyes.
As Ren walked away, Manta went to Yoh and took his hand, pulling Yoh
gently into the classroom as the bell rang.
I hope I get these sent in soon because my wrist hurts, plus, it's just
getting so hard to send them in. Sorry they're so short!
