The Summoner

Chapter 4 - Destiny's Path

Mr.Ishida opened the door and let them in.

Yamato was sat on his bed packing his bag as they walked in. He stood up quickly and smiled at Taichi. Taichi smiled back and then saw Yamatos summoner stone sat on the pedestal next to Mr. Ishida. It was shining brightly, brighter than it had as Yamato had shown it Taichi. They all gathered around it and Mr. Ishida gestured them to sit down.

"That's it? We came here just to look at a rock?" Kira asked impatiently.

"No, Ms. Tabanouchi. You came here to hear about your first time on duty as a guardian." Mr.Ishida explained.

"But we havn't even been on duty yet." Mimi looked confused.

"I know but your duty as a guardian will start tommorow at dawn."

"That early? I'm usualy still asleep at that time of the day." Taichi said yawning loudly as he said it. Yamato smiled at him and then looked back to his father.

"Well, you'll have to get used to it now that you are a summoners guardian. So, as I was saying we were going to head for Nikata but now that my sons summoner stone has foretold the beginning of your journey, you will not be coming with to Nikata."

"Where are we going to instead then?" Taichi asked blankly.

"Havn't you heard anything about summoners?"

"No. It never interested me until now."

"Very well, I'll explain it for you. Once the stone has foretold the beginning of the summoners journey, the summoner and his guardians must set of to Spiritos. That is where you shall be going."

"I see, and what are we going to do there?" Taichi asked and Mr. Ishida seemed to be getting annoyed by the constant questioning.

"Don't worry father, I'll tell him in the morning." Yamato told his father hoping that Taichi would get the message and stop asking questions.

"Very well, you will need to pack some food supplies and drinks for the journey. From this town it's a long way to the village Spiritos."

"What about our suit-cases that we've allready packed?" Kira asked.

"We shall take them in our wagon to Nikata so make sure you take enough for the journey. Yamato you may continue packing your bags now."

"Yes father." Yamato replied and returned to his suit-case on the bed.

As Yamato was out of hearing range his father spoke to his guardians again.

"I know that you are all new to the business of the guardian so I'll go over some rules that you should know. Firstly always be on your guard, and I mean always!" He snapped at Taichi who was nearly falling asleep.

"Secondly always make sure you are taking the right path. And thirdly, protect the summoner with your life. Even if your life is at stake."

Mimi winced at his last remark and he looked at her very strictly.

"What's wrong? Don't you think you're up to it? You as a white mage should not be afraid of death."

"I'm up to it allright!" Mimi snapped back at Mr. Ishida and he looked shocked at her.

"Oh and one more thing. If anything happens to him I'll come after you." He said pointing at the three of them and then he left.

"Ouch. He is extremely strict. Why doesn't he loosen up a little?" Taichi asked, relieved that Yamatos father was finally gone.

"His son is going on a very important journey. I think you would be strict about this if you were a father." Mimi said admiring the summoners stone.

"Yeah, yeah. Still he doesn't have to take it out on us. Anyway I'm going to help Yamato pack." Taichi said with a triumphant smile. He walked off and left Mimi with Kira.

"Hey Kira?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you think they like each other?" Mimi asked looking in Yamatos and Taichis direction.

"Taichi and Yamato? Definitely." She answered with a smile.

"Yeah, I thought so too, and do you know what?"

"What?"

"This is going to be a very interesting journey."

"You think so?"

"Definitely."
Yamato had allready nearly finished packing his suit-case as Taichi came. Taichi sat down on the bed watching Yamato carry his clothes from one end of the room to his suit-case. He just couldn't believe how lucky he was to be the guardian of such a good looking summoner. But what did Yamato think of him? Did he like Taichi or did he just want to be friends with him? These questions Taichi just couldn't get out of his head and drifted silently out of reality.

"Taichi? Why are you staring at me?" Yamato asked waving his hands infront of Taichis eyes bringing him back to reality.

"Wha-.?"

"You were staring at me the whole time I was packing my suit-case."

"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't mean to, well I sort of did but.." Taichi started muttering under his breath and Yamato looked confusedly at him.

"What did you just say?"

"Nothing."

"Yes you did! You just said something that I couldn't hear."

"No I didn't."

"Then what was it?"

"The wind."

"The wind?"

"Yeah, you really should close the windows at night. It gets so windy here in our village at night." Taichi answered quickly closing the window as he said it.

"Taichi, I slept yesterday all night with the window open and I didn't hear any wind."

"Well, it's not every night. Oh look at the time! I really need to go now. Bye!" Taichi said so fast and left immediately that all Yamato understood was that he needed to go to the toilet, but he guessed that Taichi was probably going back home from the embarrassment. But he still didn't know what Taichi had said.

In the meantime Kira and Mimi had allready left and Taichi was allready half way home. He couldn't believe how stupid he was to just run out like that. He got home and saw a note from his mother on his bedroom door

Taichi, all your bags are ready. Mr. Ishida popped by and told me about your journey so I packed an extra bag for that too.

"Thanks mom." Taichi whispered quietly and got into his bed. What did Yamato think of him now? Just running out like that was not a good idea. Well, that's what Taichi thought, Yamato was just laying in his bed puzzeled by what Taichi could have said. Then a weird thought crossed Taichis mind. Does Yamato wear pyjamas in bed or nothing? He had no idea why he wanted to know the answer, he thought it was weird. But thinking about that question made him fall silently into dreamland.

The next morning Taichis mother woke him up earlier than usual and Taichi looked sleepily at his clock.

"Mum it's only five o'clock."

"I know but you always take so long in the bathroom I thought I'd get you up earlier."

"Oh well, thanks anyways." He got up and got some fresh new clothes on that his mother had given him and headed into the bathroom. He looked into in the mirror and his reflection smile back at him. His hair was allready all stood up on end so it wouldn't take to long to get it right today. He walked out of his house and his mother was waving him good bye franticly. On his way to the townhall he couldn't believe how much his mother had packed extra. He had nearly five bags all together and when he saw Mimi, she only had two bags.

"God, Taichi what have you packed in all those bags?"

"Don't ask me. My mom packed most of it so I really havn't got a clue what's in all of these bags." He dumped them infront of the townhalls enterance except the one he was going to take with to Spiritos. Luckily his mother had marked them.

"So Taichi are you ready to go?" Yamato asked Taichi as he arrived.

"Yeah, listen Yamato. About yesterday.."

"Hey don't worry. It's forgiven and forgotten."

"Really?"

"Yep." Yamato smiled at Taichi and placed all his bags next to Taichis.

"Kira said she would be waiting on the exit of the village so we could really start going all ready."

"Have you all got your weapons with?" Mr. Ishida asked Mimi and Taichi and the both nodded.

"Good. It's a dangerous road to Spiritos so you need to be prepared."

"Don't worry father. We'll make it." Yamato said impatiently and his father nodded understandingly.

"Well, then all I can say is have a good journey." He said with a smile and entered the townhall again.

"So shall we go?" Yamato asked and they all nodded.
