Separated Repercussions
Chapter 6
Jayeta's house..
I got up
late that morning, but did finally drag myself out of bed. I remembered the
meeting I had with Trisha and Nicole, since I had invited Nicole later. It was
actually very interesting but very disturbing at the same time. Right after we
all got there Trisha proceeded to tell us the whole, and I mean whole story of
what happened including the Ronins, warlords, and Talpa. That was the
interesting part. But all through the time she was telling the story my mind
would flash to that time and show me exactly what was happening. It was,
brutal, to say the least of the experiences. But at least I have a better
understanding of who my brother is now. But then Trisha added that she had
scryed about something else.
Flashback-
"Oh! Nicole, you remember how I told you that the school had doubled in size?" Nicole nodded while I blurted, "You noticed too?!" Trisha's eyes widened a bit before she nodded.
"You mean it actually did double in size?" Nicole asked. "I thought that, that was just a joke."
Trisha
shook her head and tossed a sort cropped, burnished red, curl over her
shoulder. "No, it was definitely real. But I looked into that as well. it
was the strangest thing. I was looking and then I see a woman chanting, at
first she didn't notice me but then she turned around and I was pushed back-
not sure how to explain it. But I was dazed and looked up to see a hand held
out to help me up. When I stood and finally got my balance enough to where I
wouldn't embarrassed myself I looked up to see the woman that was in my vision.
She apologized for her rudeness but that the chant she was doing was quite
complicated. And that it was connected to what is happening around this school
and weird stuff going on." Trisha paused to take a breath. It was amazing
that so little a girl could say so much at one time. " but what's
happening is that the 'Ancients' are bringing two dimensions together for some
reason. She said it was important that two people help each other in the battle
that was to come. Kinda freaked me out. But then she just disappeared."
Trisha shook her head baffled by the unknown woman.
End flashback-
I knew who the Ancients were but I wasn't sure if my speculations were fact where they concerned the 'mysterious woman'. "Jayeta." Mom said softly from the doorway. I smiled at my foster mom, Elizabeth. Even though I called her lizzy a lot, and mom, we never got that mother-daughter bond that most people talk about. We acted more like friends at good times, but when she gets mad I just leave the house.
"I'll be down in a couple lizzy." I smiled as I got up. She didn't like for me to stay in the house. That's where the Internet problem comes in. but today I actually agree with her, but there was something I wanted to do.
She smiled back, "alright." Then she softly closed the door and went to her room. Probably to get more sleep since it was her day off. I got dressed and thought about Ryo. I want to see him, but I don't know if he's told his friends about me and I don't think he even recognized me. I went downstairs and since I wasn't that hungry I grabbed an apple and ran out the door. I wanted to check out the dojo I saw a couple days ago.
When I got there, there was an advanced class in session. I entered he front and saw another door. I walked through to see the class working. I took off my shoes and bowed. Then I sat down where I could watch. No one gave evidence of noticing my presence and kept working. I watched till I noticed one person slightly apart from the rest. It was a girl; no wonder, the only girl in this class. She had brown color skin, brown hair, which was up in a ponytail, and she was really good. Wow, it took me years to get that drill smooth. I watched her until the class was over and most of the other kids had left. I walked up to the sensai, "Excuse me sensai, but I just transferred from America and wondered if I may join your dojo."
The sensai turned around and looked me over. "Welcome, and I'm sure you've done this before, right?" He looked at me expectantly.
"Yes, I was under a sensai in California, but my family moved so abruptly that he didn't have time to give me a recommendation of were to go."
"California, southern California?" I nodded. He looked at me and smiled a slow smile. He started asking questions about my former sensai who happened, in the end, to be a friend of his. "so you're the one he told me to look for. He said that you would be moving close by and that you might come looking for someone to teach you. Here, there is someone I would like you to meet." As he talked I noticed that we walked over to the girl I had seen earlier. "when my son isn't here to take up my time, Matora here is my protégée. Matora, this is Jayeta. You both are in the same skill range." He seemed to mule over something. They both looked at each other as the sensai watched.
I put out
my hand first, "Hi, I'm Jayeta." Matora smiled, she's cool.
"Hi, I'm Matora, but
my friends call me Tora for short." we shook hands. "
"and both of you came from the states." " Sensai said in perfect English. Both girls stared at him in shock. Sensai just smiled. " "more precisely, California. So you both have a lot in common." Jay and Tora just stared at him for another second and then all three started laughing.
" cool, since I'm calling you Tora, please call me Jay. It's fun to talk like this with someone. What school are you going to?" Tora looked at me as she calmed down from laughing, then gave me a smile.
" I'm going to Han'a High this year. I'm going to be a senior, what about you?"
I grimaced. " Well it's kinda complicated but I will be a senior." I made as to turn toward the sensai but he wasn't there. "Hey where did he go?" I reverted back to Japanese.
"oh don't worry, he'll be back. So you want to spar a bit?"
"sure"
short I know but I'll get something else up soon.
