*** I'm folding in to what Reana wanted which means my story will change a
little from my original plans but I've figured most of it out. Sorry bout
how long it took me to update this one. I've been Internet deprived due to
Videotron sabotaging the cable, and I have bee pretty busy too! Well as
usual tell me what you think***
Chapter 6
We had dropped off all that I bought for Chichiri then headed out the door again. I still wouldn't let go of his warm hand but he didn't seem to mind.
"The library isn't too far from here. It's about a five-minute walk. After the library though its home because I have to finish off some homework."
"Whatever works for you, no da. I'm just pleased that you are doing all this for me."
"Yet again don't worry about it."
Even though it was afternoon, the air was still nice and crisp. I loved the feeling of the cool air against my face. What I loved more was my hand warmer!
My school was just around the corner. And in the school resides the library.
"We turn in over here Chichiri," I instructed as we reached the pathway up to the school.
"It's big, no da."
"Yup that it is. I got lost every day the first week."
"I would too, no da," he said occasionally glancing at me.
We walked into the front entrance and straight down the big hall. At the end of the hall was what we were looking for.
"Here it is Chichiri," I said as I opened the huge doors.
"This is the biggest library I've ever seen, Lenore," he said taking in all the shelves filled with books.
"Well you obviously haven't been around this place for too long. This isn't the biggest mind you it is one of the better ones. If we cant fond your book here we'll have a hard time anywhere else."
"In that case I truly hope that it's here," Chichiri said sounding a little worried.
I guess we should look at the index of this library. Umm what was the name of your book again?" I asked while I walked up to the computer which contained the index.
"Shi Jin Ten Chi Sho."
"Oh my... umm you'll have to be able to spell that out for me or just say it really slow."
"Well I heard Miaka call it 'Four Gods, Sky and the Earth' no da."
"Ahh now that's more helpful. But who's Miaka?" I said as I started looking through the computer index.
"She was our preistess. She saved the Konan Empire, no da."
"Mmmk. Ah hah! They have it!"
I wrote down the number of the book and began to search for it. It seemed it would be in the very back of the library.
"Hmm, I can't seem to find it the numbers stop at 98230. The number for the book is 98685."
"Ano..."
I glanced around the shelves with the highest number and the book was nowhere to be seen. Then a sign on a door that read 'Restricted Section' averted my attention.
"Maybe we should look in here Chichiri?"
"I'd do almost anything to find that book."
I reached my hand out to try to open the door but it wouldn't budge.
"It's locked. Damnit!"
"Let me take a look at that, Lenore."
He held out his hand towards the locked door and a small red glow encircled his hand. Then the door war engulfed by that same red glow.
*click*
The door unlocked and fell open in mere seconds.
"Wow! OMG your amazing Chichiri," I said while trying to keep my jaw from dropping, "I've never seen anything like that!"
"Ano..." said the magician blushing through his mask.
"Ok you don't take complements well. Neither do i. It's all good. I still can't believe it. Could you teach me how to do that?"
"You have to possess a natural power. If you do then I can teach you, no da."
"Hmm, intriguing. Hopefully I have some," I said walking into the restricted room, "Great it's pitch black in here."
Chichiri's hand began to glow again. It made enough light to see the books. I glanced around at the numbers and my eyes fell upon 98685.
"Chichiri its here," I pointed to the book then grabbed it.
He gently took it from my hands and the same glow I saw before was emitting from the book.
"I remember now Lenore. When I held the book last it pulled me into it and brought me here. Maybe if I open it again I'll be able to go back, no da."
"Well then what are you waiting for open it," I said holding myself back from showing how much I wanted him to stay.
He opened it. Red light spilled onto the floor and everything that surrounded us. A black void appeared within the most concentrated part of the light.
But...
Instead of Chichiri getting sucked in, something large was coming towards us.
Closer...
A full-grown man was dropped onto the floor a foot away from the book. The light and void vanished completely.
Chichiri lit up his hand once again. I looked at him and his mask had been removed. His face looked beyond surprised and his eye was wide. I looked back and forth between the man on the floor and Chichiri.
Then Chichiri's mouth dropped. He spoke, barely audible at first. Then again louder, so I heard what he said.
"Tasuki!?!"
*** Heh heh heh. I don't think you expected that to happen. Hope you enjoyed it. Tell me what you think. And thank you to all who review and make me want to write more!!! ^.~***
