The Ring of Light: Part 3
Toya, Umi(She has deep blue eyes and long matching hair.), and two other girls, Fuu(She
has circular glasses, that frame her bright green eyes, with short mahogany hair.*I'm changing
Fuu's appearance. For those whom like her blonde, I'm sorry.*) and Sakura(She has red eyes and
long blonde hair, either kept down or up in a ponytail.), are waiting for Hikaru, and Aya if she
decides to come, in the school gym. Toya getting impatient asks, "What's taking so long! We
don't have all night." "Actually we do have all night. The only thing we could do tonight is
sleep, since we do have school tomorrow."Fuu points out. Sakura yawns."Your right, but sleep
is good. And I wouldn't mind sleeping right now!" Umi shrugs and yawns as well. "Well, just
blame your sleep deprivation on little miss pyro when she gets here. She is the one who is
wasting our time after all." Sakura shakes her head. "You two are always bothering each other,
when will it stop? You are always calling Hikaru pyro or red. well ya' know, she always calls
you hydro and blue. So you guys have equal insults so far." Umi jumps to attention. "That little
pyromaniac calls me Hydro!?" "She doesn't call you hydro often, its mostly just blue, she agree's
that hydro just doesn't work."Fuu supplies helpfully. " Of corse hydro doesn't work, since red
thought of it. But I suppose blue works, just as much as red does."Umi yells. Toya calls over to
the huddled trio. "Would you girls mind keeping it down, I'm trying to think, your giving me a
headache." "Sorry!" They say in unison and begin to whisper. "Now look what you've done!
You've given Toya a headache with all your complaining." Umi says looking at Sakura. Sakura
looks back at her unbelieving. "Me! You're the one who was yelling!" Umi looks at Fuu. Fuu
says "Don't look at me, I hardly said a thing. And I didn't yell or complain once." Sakura and
Umi turn on Fuu. "So, your saying it's our fault?" Fuu calmly says. "Exactly. But I wonder what
Toya is thinking about." Umi and Sakura look at each other as if deciding something, then they
lunge for Fuu. She quickly evades them. She darts for the other end of the gym. " Oh, come on
guys. You know it was your fault." Sakura yells while dashing after her. "So, maybe it was, but
you can't pin all the blame on us." Fuu puts on a pouty voice. " Oh, why not?" She says as she
turns and twists her finger in a circle. Then flings the small vine that materializes above her
finger toward Sakura. It enlarges and wraps around Sakura, stopping her dead in her tracks. As
she falls face forward, she says "Hey, that's not fair . . . Ouch. My nose better not be broken!"
"So, you want to use powers do you?" Umi says, while still running after Fuu. She raises one
hand into the air where a sphere of water appears and she thrust her hand forward sending the
sphere flying through the air to land in front of Fuu. Fuu slips, while falling, she sends a vine to
encircle Umi. Fuu hits the ground with a small splash. "That hurt." Umi soon fallows suit
"Ooff." Fuu leaps up "Ha!"She cries victoriously. Sakura struggles on the floor. "Fuu get this
plant off me!" Fuu casually walks to her and crouches so she is level with Sakura."Why, you will
probably blow me away." Sakura struggles a bit more. "I promise, I won't." Fuu considers her
surrender, then says slowly, "Okay then." "Don't forget about me!" Umi yells over to them.
Hikaru bursts through the door. "Hello everyone! Sorry we're late." Hikaru takes in the
scene before her. " What happened here?" "They had a little disagreement, but it's settled
now."Toya explains. Fuu averts her attention from Sakura and greets the infamous 'Pyro'.
"Hikaru nice to see you back, where is Aya? You did say 'sorry we're late'?" "She's right here."
Hikaru turns around. " Aya? Where did you go?"She says cluelessly. Sakura still on the ground "
You lost her!" " I told you she shouldn't have gone."Umi says regretfully. Hikaru retorts. " It's
not my fault. She was with me as far as the front gate." "Well, we have to find her, if you lost
her at the gate, she can't be to far."Says Toya. Fuu agrees."Your right, I will go look for her at
the outside courts." " I'll search inside the school." Toya says. Fuu and Toya depart. Sakura and
Umi yell. "Hey!" "What about us!" Hikaru steps up."Don't worry, I'll take care of those binds."
With a wave of her hand Sakura's and Umi's binds erupt in flames. Sakura and Umi start to roll
around putting out the flames. "Hey, watch it!" "Are you trying to barbecue us?!"They yell.
Hikaru shrugs "You're not bound anymore." She turns and exits out the way she came. Umi
drenches the still smouldering vines on the floor. "She could have ruined my hair!" Sakura "That
would have been a shame, wouldn't it?"She thinks to herself. "I think she enjoyed that. Well' we
have to look for Aya." Sakura exits out the back gym door leaving Umi alone. "Of course she
enjoyed that. She would love to fry my hair off!" "Just wait. I'll find some way to get her back."
Umi thinks as she heads for the nearest door. "How could you get lost at your own school?"She
says as she exits.
Aya is walking through the outside courts of the school, as if she is looking for
something. "I know there is something out here."Aya thinks to herself. She twirls around. There
is nothing there. "Oh well." She turns back around and screams. Aya is face to face with a tan,
green haired, cat-eyed young man. The guy says, "Gees, you didn't have to scream. I think I'm
goin' deaf." Aya says "I . . . I'm sorry, you scared me. Who are you?" She remembers earlier that
day in detention, when she went to the window to think. "You! You're Kusinagi." She starts to
back away. "What are you doing here, what do you want?" Kusinagi steps forward "I could ask
you the same thing, but isn't it obvious what I'm doing here? Hasn't that protector of yours,
Toya, told you about me?" Aya stops. "He isn't my protector."She says angrily. Kusinagi shrugs
and raises an eyebrow."You fooled me. He dragged you out of detention just because I was
standing outside. I didn't do anything threatening at all." "Maybe he had reason to think you
might do something threatening, you do work for the enemy."She says defensively. "So you've
sided with him then."He says disappointed. "It's much better than being the lapdog of a power
hungry being bent on taking over the world."Aya yells. Kusinagi takes a step forward and Aya
steps back. "I'm not her lapdog! I have one order, to get that ring." He points at Aya's ring. He
then suddenly dives forward to tear Aya's ring off of her finger, when Aya's necklace glows a
radiant white. Aya is shocked to see the blinding light expelling from her necklace. Kusinagi is
flung back by an unseen force to land in a crouched position. Fuu's voice is heard calling. "Aya,
Aya! Where are you, Aya?" Kusinagi stands, "That's my cue. See you again, Aya." He gives a
slight salute, then is gone. The light of Aya's necklace dies down and Fuu rushes up to her.
"Aya?" Aya turns around, "Yes." Fuu gives a sigh of relief, and notices a glimmer in Aya's
necklace. She pushes that out of her mind. "I found you. Are you all right? What are you doing
out here any way?" Aya stares at Fuu. "Um, I'm fine. Who are you?" "Oh, I'm Fuu, one of
Hikaru's friends. We need to get to the gym, hopefully everyone else will be gathering there
soon. We all went out to search for you."She explains. "Who?"Aya asks. Fuu shakes her head.
"You will meet the rest of the group in the gym. Lets go." She walks back the way she came, Aya
follows."Why were you out here?"Fuu asks again. "I'm not sure. I had this. . . feeling."Aya says
as she thinks why she went out to the courts.
Back in the gym, where every body has finally assembled. Toya and Hikaru introduces
Aya to every one, and explain their individual powers over the elements. Hikaru represents fire,
Umi represent water, Fuu represents earth, and Sakura represents wind. Toya's power is
telekinesis. Toya starts the discussion. "Now that we have introductions out of the way. This
morning after I rescued Aya I tracked down her attacker. I tried to get some information out of
him, but all he said was that he worked for a Queen by the name of Ultimecia." "Ultimecia? That
is a strange name."Fuu says. "She's a queen, what does she rule?" Sakura asks. Hikaru replies,
"Who knows, but I bet whatever it is, it isn't much." Aya thinks "What is wrong with that
Kusinagi? Why does he follow an evil queen? He wouldn't be that bad if he didn't, he's kind of
cute.....What am I thinking?!" She shakes her head and listens to the rest of the groups
conversation. Hikaru says, "Those henchmen of Ultimecia's are useless, they're extremely weak,
and we can't even beat information out of 'em. Aya yawns. Umi, "It looks like Aya is getting
tired, maybe we should continue this meeting later." Toya agrees, "I think your right." Sakura
looks up at the clock hanging in the gym. "It is almost one o' clock, we should get a few hours of
sleep." Umi says, "So then, who will take Aya home?" Aya jumps up from her position on the
ground, "No, it's okay, I' ll be fine on my own." Hikaru says "I can take you home. I know the
way." "Are one of us supposed to walk home? There isn't enough room for all of us on the two
motorcycles!"Fuu points out. "Since you guys all go the same way, and not to mention you had
trouble fining the way here, why don't I take her home." Toya offers to the four girls. Hikaru
gives a pleading look to the other three girls, unseen by Toya. Umi ignores hikaru, "It sounds like
we have a solution!" "Thanks Toya."Sakura pats him on the shoulder. Toya shrugs, "No
problem. Come on, Aya, my car is around the block." Toya exits. "What does he mean you go
the same way?" Aya asks. Fuu answers her question. "We all live at Hikaru's grandmother's
shrine. Nobody ever visits it anymore, so we don't have to worry about stray people driving up
while we're training. It really is quite helpful." "You better catch up with Toya."Umi advises.
Aya turns, "Oh, right. Nice to meet you all, I'll see you around!"She chases after Toya. The door
shuts after her.
Hikaru erupts, "How could you do that!" she shouts. Sakura acts completely innocent.
"Do what?" Hikaru shouts, "As if you don't know? You're letting Toya take her home!" Umi
smiles impishly. "And your point is?" Hikaru rages for a minute. "They'll be all alone!" Umi,
still grinning, says "This is what you get for nearly burning off my hair before. . . Who knows
what they could be doing?" "Hikaru, don't worry. He's only taking her home."Fuu tries to
comfort her. Hikaru yells, "Don't worry! What if she makes a move on him?" Fuu shakes her
head, "I highly doubt it." Sakura adds fuel to Hikaru's attitude. "Why does it matter. You don't
have much of a claim on him. Besides if she did, maybe you would make a move for once?"
Hikaru feels hurt, but still has her stubborn attitude. "Her, competition? I don't think so!" She is
silent for a moment. She gets a worried look on her face. "I'm following them." She jogs towards
the door. Umi and Fuu follow Hikaru, "What?" Hikaru pushes the door and walks out side. "You
heard me! And Sakura, your coming with me." Sakura walks to the door. "Why?" Hikaru is still
walking toward the gate. "Because you can use your power to carry what they say on the wind to
us." Sakura catches up with Hikaru. Fuu says "So we will be spying on them, then?" Umi looks
at Fuu. "We have to go, too?" Fuu replies. "Hikaru and Sakura can drive, we can't. We are
getting dragged along." Hikaru jumps onto her motorcycle and puts her helmet on, she throws the
other one to Fuu. "Hurry up, we have to get going!" Fuu gets on the motorcycle and puts her
helmet on as Hikaru starts the engine. Sakura and Umi get on the other motorcycle and secure
their helmets. Hikaru drives down the road, Sakura starts the engine and drives after Hikaru. Umi
growls. "I wont be surprised if we get lost."
Toya, Umi(She has deep blue eyes and long matching hair.), and two other girls, Fuu(She
has circular glasses, that frame her bright green eyes, with short mahogany hair.*I'm changing
Fuu's appearance. For those whom like her blonde, I'm sorry.*) and Sakura(She has red eyes and
