The Sealed Pendant -
Season Two
Episode Five - The Truth Is Revealed
By the time the last class came around, the whole school knew the new news. Kokkei had stopped, and knelt to tie her shoes. Someone nudged her an she fell on her side. "Hey!" She glared up at the person. The boy scowled down at her. People crowded around. "Why'd you do that? There's plenty of space on the hall." "Sorry. Didn't see you." She scowled back. "Liar." Someone pushed through the crowd. Kelli looked at Kokkei, then at he boy. Her eyes narrowed greatly. "Get away from my sister, Hiziki." she growled. "You have a sister?" he laughed, "The way you act, it seems like you have no family." Kokkei swung her legs around, bringing Hiziki to the floor. The crowd murmured. Kelli walked over and stared down at him. "Hey. Did that officer find you?" he snarled and tried to grab her, but she kicked him in the chest, resting her foot on it as he lay on the floor. "That was a cheap shot!" he spat. "It'll be even cheaper. Wait till I tell my sister." She pressed her foot harder and walked to Kokkei's side.
They turned and walked off. Kokkei looked at the students lining the walls with naturally icy eyes. "Yeah." she said softly, "Those rumors are true." She pulled the chain from her neck as they walked along. "Power of Kayo... Key of Akarui... Reveal your true form to me!... Release!" She grabbed the new Wand, twirling it, while Kelli pulled out a pendant. "Teleportation!" They two faded from sight. Everyone was frozen stiff at what just happened. Kokkei and her sister appeared on the roof of the building. She tucked the Wand under her arm as she took out her cell phone. She was pacing back and forth and Kelli just stared at her. "Hello?" she said quickly, "Antonio. I did something really stupid. No, not now. Please, come to the school, the roof, now!" She hung up and sighed deeply, dropping the Wand. "What did I do? Why did I do it?" Kelli touched her shoulder. "Chill, sis. You did it to prove a point. I would've probably burned the school down." Kokkei smiled. "Your help's here."
Kokkei looked up to see Mizuiro land. "What? I got here as quickly as possible." "We see." Kelli nodded. "I did something stupid." Kokkei sighed, moving towards him. "Yeah. You said so on the phone." He hugged her. "I used my powers... in the school." Kelli sighed and rolled her eyes. She pulled Kokkei away from Mizuiro and stood between them. "The whole school knows about us. Do you think this is a good time to play "replacement" with your guardian? He has someone of his own. You don't. Not right now. That's what you need to worry about." "Where were you the past years?" Kokkei chuckled, "Could've used you clear thinking then." Kelli smiled sadly. "Places." She walked over and looked down below. "Cool. We gotta fan club." She began waving, laughing. Kokkei was behind there making rapid calls in chibi form, while Mizuiro just stared on.
In over fifteen minutes, Ceaira, Sabaki, Aquilia, Rukki, and Keroberos stood on the roof with the earlier three. "Where's Sakura?" Keroberos asked. "I think she's still down there." Kelli looked over the edge. The sky had darkened a little. "I'll get 'em." She pulled out the Fiery Card. Both her and the Card glowed then she disappeared. Everyone blinked. Kelli looked around, changing the scenery back to what she loved, then at Fiery. "Long time, no see." He smirked. She blushed lightly. He laughed. "Um.. ok. I need you to do me a favor. We've been figured out and we need to find Sakura and the others." He nodded. Kelli sat down cross-legged, picking a flower, and hoping that when Fiery tried to locate Sakura's point, she wouldn't be cast out. The Card floated off the roof and down the side of the building. Past the halfway point, it slipped through an open window, and floated around the room. Kelli glowed then appeared on the top of a desk. "Ow.." she groaned, opening her eyes, and seeing Sakura and the others rushing over.
"You ok?" Madison asked. Kelli nodded. "Are you guys locked in here?" "We locked ourselves in." Meilin said, "Everyone's sorta waiting for us." "We need to find who started those rumors." Li said, clenching his fist, "Then make them say it's not true." "Well," Kelli laughed, her hand behind her head, "Kokkei kinda proved it true." They facevaulted. "Sowwy." She ran over and opened the window. She stuck out her tongue at the crowd then faced up. "Kero! Rukki! I found 'em. We need transportation." "Should we go?" Rukki asked. "Might as well." Kokkei sighed. The two beasts nodded and floated off the ground, flying over the edge of the building and down below. The crowds gasped as they saw them. "Oh, my God!" "What the--" "This is too much." "Tell the principal to call the Army, coast guard... something!"
Keroberos and Rukki floated in front of the window. Sakura and Li got on Keroberos and Madison and Meilin got on Rukki. "What about you?" Madison asked, looking at Kelli. "I'll sit on Kero's head." Keroberos nearly dropped Sakura and Li. "No, you're not." he replied. "Yes, I am." "No, you're not." "I am, and that's final!"
"Must they argue?" Akuma smiled. "Kelli almost argues with everyone." Yue sighed. "She's led a rough life. Moving from family to family. Place to place. Toughened her heart up. Fiery seemed to melt it." "It's weird though. Reed made the Cards. How, and in what way, is she connected?" Akuma snapped her fingers and Yue now sat at a desk, herself in the front, wearing the large outfit of a teacher. He blinked. "Alright. Shall we begin?" She didn't wait for an answer, "Kelli was the first, first, first to be connected with the magic Clow Reed used to work with. In fact, it was hers, and she was perfecting it, but died, at the age she's at now. That's why she showed up." Yue nodded slowly. "Right. Well, Reed being a descendant from her bloodline, he perfected the magic, made the Clow Cards, then passed away." Akuma yawned.
The suit disappeared and she wore her regular red dress-jumper with white shirt. "We're hoping, that Kelli, having seen what was going on, and trying to help, will get her powers back, and... live to see 15." "Live to see? What do you mean?" She jumped down from her high seat and stood by him, since the desk had disappeared. "I think this is her third time being reincarnated. She's been born as Kokkei's sister this time. The one who disappeared right after Kokkei left her old dimension." Yue just stared through the portal's hole. Keroberos had carried Kelli up after all and they all stood on the roof. "Time's running out, Yue." He crossed his arms. "Can I speak to Kokkei through Mizuiro please?" "Sure. Just don't do anything foolish. Sabaki wouldn't hesitate on frying anyone." Akuma pointed at Mizuiro, then at Yue. "Talk." She whispered. Yue looked back down at the group.
Mizuiro looked at Kokkei. "Kokkei..." "Hmm?" She looked up and half-glanced at him. He walked to her. Sabaki raised an eyebrow. "Mizuiro?" she said quietly. He looked at her. "Daijoubu?" she said, tilting her head. He nodded, "Hai." "Yue." Sabaki smiled. Kokkei turned and looked completely at Mizuiro. "Demo..." Yue blinked, "How'd you know?" Sabaki tucked some of her hair behind her ear. "Mizuiro always said, "Hai. Daijoubu". You don't have that much respect." Yue laughed. Kokkei walked to Mizuiro, taking his hand. "Yue." He looked down at her. "You've seen what's going on? What do I do?" "I can't tell you. You have to figure it out on your own. I'm sorry." "That's the way it always is." she grumbled. "But you have to hurry. I don't like that fact that I'm rushing you, with all that is going on, but..." Mizuiro squeezed Kokkei's hand back and raised it a little. Sabaki's eyebrow twitched as she watched them. "Stupid, onii-chan." she grumbled, "Why couldn't he have taken himself another body?" "Like who?" She looked over at Ceaira. "I don't know. He could've taken Rukki for all I care." Ceaira laughed a little.
Sabaki turned back to see Kokkei and Mizuiro's faces inches apart. "Whoa!" The trident appeared in her hand. "That's far enough." The lightning shot forward. Akuma took Yue out and Mizuiro pushed Kokkei back, as he jumped back himself. "Ah. Sabaki." Mizuiro sighed, "Lighten up." "Don't tell me what to do." He grinned as she scowled. The bolt crackled across the roof and down below. Kelli, Sakura, and Madison rushed over to the ledge and looked down below. "Hey, Saba." Kelli looked back up, "You think you can do that again? It split up the crowd." She smirked. Sabaki floated over and landed next to the three girls. Meilin, Li, and Ceaira were looking over the other edge. "And maybe Mizuiro can get them a little waterlogged over here." Ceaira suggested. Mizuiro walked over to that side. Sensing each other, the two loving judges released their attacks at the same time, at the groups below.
Kokkei looked up at the sky as she heard the students and others' yell. She tilted her head to the side then waved. Yue waved back, though he knew she couldn't see him. Akuma giggled. She pulled Yue down to her height and reached behind his ear. She pulled her hand back and held a rose. He blinked then smiled, reaching out to touch it. The petals fell off at the slight touch and shattered, sparkling, turning into cherry blossoms that were floating and swirling around. He stood back up, still smiling. There were millions of them, as far as the eyes could see. Kokkei laughed as cherry blossoms started falling. Everyone looked up at them. Akuma turned away from the portal and Yue. "She mustn't take that those blossoms are for fun." Yue looked at her. "When the last one disappears from here and touches the ground down there, time's up." "But... can I tell her?" "No." She shook her head. Yue looked back down at Kokkei as she twirled in the blossoms, giggling. 'Kokkei.' he thought, 'Hurry.' Kokkei stopped and stared at the sky.
"Guys. Keep up what you're doing. I'm going to the hospital." She pulled out a pendant, star-shaped. She tossed it in the air and touched the Wand to it. "Dragon! Lend me your wings. Unlock!" She closed her eyes and the black pair of wings appeared on her back. "I'll be back." she said, taking off into the air. They looked at her then went back to attacking.
"Hey, Li. Switch sides with me." Li looked over at Sakura. "Why?" She
held up the Water Card. "Oh.." He smiled and they turned away from their
sides, heading for the opposite. As they passed by each other, they slowed
a little. "Be careful." Sakura whispered. "You, too." Li whispered back.
They returned to their regular pace. Li held up the sword in front of his
face, opening his eyes after it glowed, stopping next to Sabaki. "Force,
know my plight. Release the light. Lightning!" He pointed the sword down
below as Sabaki did the same with her trident. Over on the other side,
Sakura was double-teaming with Mizuiro. The three guardian beasts stared
at both sides. "I hope they know what they're doing." Aquilia sighed. "I
hope Kokkei knows what she's doing." Rukki looked up at the now darker
sky.
