Chapter 20: Kiss and Train

It was early in the morning when Eli woke up. She was in the same room as Aya and Shantei, and the two of them were still sleeping quietly. She eyed them seriously and got off the bed and jumped onto Aya's bed and yelled.

"GET UP!!!!" she shouted, waking Aya and Shantei from their sleep. Both girls fell off of the bed and screamed.

Aya was the first to reply to the shouting onslaught. "Why...did you wake us up so...early? Yawn.." Aya yawned as she stood up and balanced herself with the bed post.

"Yah...it's a little early don't you think Eli?" Shantei asked as she sat back on the bed and yawned loudly.

"We have to train! If we wanna beat Aya's dad we have to be stronger!" Eli told the two sleepy girls who were falling asleep again. Her temper rising he breathed in and yelled," WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

: Noon:

Kai watched as the three girls alone with the Dragoons were training. 'I wonder when it's my turn...' he thought as he leaned against the frame of the entrance.

"It's seems their improving..." a voice came from behind Kai startling the young shapeshifter. "LAVITZ! DON'T do...that...err..." Kai huffed out and stared at the man whose arm was being held by Meredia who was helping him walk a bit.

"I think you should be out there too..." Meredia giggled as she pointed to the group with her free hand, Kai only huffed again. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing at all...err...FINE! You two look soooo much like a COUPLE!!!" Kai yelled out running to where Aya and the others were and accidentally knocked Dart over.

"Couple..." Lavitz whispered under his breath as his eyes became confused circles and his face turned red. "KAI!!! GET BACK HERE!!!" he shouted and started to run but trip and fall flat on his face.

"Oww..." a muffled cry was heard.

Meredia looked down and knelt beside him as he lifted his head. "You okay?" she asked. "I feel so...helpless...!" he murmured as he got back up on his feet and the two sat down on the stairs watching the others train.

: Training:

Aya backflipped as Christopher sprung forward with his weapon draw. Quickly he slashed at Aya, making her cry out and fall backwards into the tree. Eli saw this and ran to her fallen friend.

"Aya...you okay? Hey...let me heal you..." she whispered, but was silenced as Aya stood up and leaned against the tree with her teeth clenched as well as her fists.

"I'll...be okay!" yelling Aya ran forward and jumped up over her uncle's head, and landed behind him and raised her arms.

Mumbling she summoned a spell. "Ground beneath my very body...lend you strength and power to me to defeat the ones before us...lend me your spirit, soul and power!" her eyes flashed open. "Use your vines and wrap around the enemy! Trap them with your spirit! CHAOS VINE!" Aya shouted as vine sprung from within the ground and attacked Christopher, tying him up in the vines and keeping him above the ground and also still.

He smiled. "Very good Aya...you learned the Chaos Vine...you're father couldn't even learn that!" Aya shook her head. "No...I don't have a father anymore, he got destroyed by the greediness of a demon..." she sighed and the spell let go as she walked away.

Christopher nodded.

Standing in a magic circle Shantei kept her eyes closed tightly as the voice of her mother rang though her head like the wind. A white energy flowed from the cracks in the ground's circle and surrounded Shantei making her glow with light. Above her the clouds parted and the sun appeared in the middle of the sky, shining down upon her. Her eyes glowed white as she opened them and lifted her hands, chanting the same thing over and over.

"The light with stop the darkness...the Darkness shall fall..." over and over until the dark clouds enveloped Shantei, covering her. Shana looked as her daughter struggled slightly, but maintained her posture. Then...as it would be like Shantei could take no more pressure of Dark energy, the holy power shot though the clouds, breaking them into bits of cloud then turning them into rubble.

"Excellent Shantei...you are a true Moon Child..." Shana said smiling as she hugged her daughter tight. Shantei hugged her mother back, and fainted.

"They're worn out..." Kai said as he sat down beside Lavitz. The older man nodded slowly. "Why aren't you training with them...Kai?" Lavitz asked in a serious tone.

Lowering his head in thought Kai mumbled, "I don't need too...you see, I can train myself in my mind...learn new things as well...most shapeshifters can do that."

Eli ran across the field laughing as Aya chased her, they were having fun now. Kai smiled as he stared at her. Lavitz looked at Kai then at Eli, and then at Kai again and nodded. "I see what's going on...heh..." he whispered to Kai.

Lifting his head up in alarm, Kai stared at Lavitz with a red face and wide eyes. "W-what...what do...you mean? Nothings going on!" he said putting his heads up in defense. Chuckling, Lavitz slowly shook his head. "No need to hide it Kai. Don't worry, I won't tell her..." he smiled at the younger boy.

Breathing out, Kai put a hand to his head. "You'd better not..." he blushed and stood up and walked inside. Lavitz chuckled.

"Stop tormenting him..." Meredia said poking Lavitz in the side making the man wince and hold the spot in pain. "Why'd you do that!" his voice growled dangerously low.

Smiling Meredia stood up and backed up, getting ready to run. Standing up slowly Lavitz shook. "You're not getting away..." he threatened as she ran.

Using his strength he pushed his legs and ran after her ignoring the pain. The laughed as he kept stumbling, but he quickly regained his composure and ran faster. She looked behind her and saw him not there and stopped.

"Did...did he give up already?" she blinked and turned back and came face to face with Lavitz and him grabbing her arms and pushing her down, but instead of falling she grabbed him and both of them fell rolling down the small hill by the garden.

Lavitz fell on his back and Meredia on top. She was giggling as he tried to get up, but...sadly he was stuck. "Funny, I thought you were strong...Teehee!" she giggled sitting down on his chest making him struggle more.

Aya and Eli stopped running as they saw Meredia on top of Lavitz giggling as the latter was struggling under her weight. The both laughed aloud as Meredia smiled, and Lavitz blushed completely red still struggling. "Awww, Lavitz you should have told us!!!" Aya laughed as she walked closer to them to see Lavitz turn his head to hide the blush.

"No kidding...Meredia..." Eli bent over and whispered something in the new girl's ear, and Meredia nodded. "What did you tell her Eli?" Aya asked.

Whispering o Aya, the girl giggled. Meredia stared at Lavitz, as he slowly looked at her and froze in spot, she didn't stop staring at him with her smile. His mouth opened slightly the girl bent down and kissed his cheek and jumped off, leaving the guy free but frozen.

"He...he's frozen solid Eli..." Aya said poking him in the leg. "I don't think a girl has kissed him before" Eli giggled walking away as well as dragging Lavitz by the arm and Meredia dragging him by the legs. Aya giggled and followed swiftly behind.
