The Sight
Chapter 12 - The Kinata Ritual
Click, click, click.
Went the sound of Yamato pounding on the doorbell of Sams apartment. He was sure she would be angry with him but he didn't really have any choice. After he had told Taichi that the ghost of his father was back, Taichi had fallen unconcious and still hadn't woken up. Yamato picked up the lifeless body and waited impatiently for Sam to answer the door. It was very quiet, but Yamato could hear the footsteps of Sam slowly coming to the door.
"Who the hell do you thin-.. Oh Yamato."
"Let me in, quickly!"
"Why?" she layed her eyes on Taichis sleeping form and stepped shocked back.
Yamato walked passed her and went straight into Taichis room. He layed him on the bed and gently kissed his fore-head.
"Don't worry Taichi. I'll protect you."
With that he left the room and sat down on the sofa.
"Yamato?" Sam sat down next to him and looked concerned at him.
"You want to know what happened don't you?"
"Well, that was what I was going to ask, so would you please tell me?"
"Allright but ther's not much to tell. It all started after the roller coaster, we got something to eat and suddenly we were taken to this other place. It was all dark and later I saw Taichi unconcious on the merry-go- round. When I tried to get to him this man stopped me, he talked for a while then disappeared and we were back in the theme park. Shortly after that Taichi passed out again and that's about it."
"I'm so sorry Yamato, I hoped it would be a nice day today and look what happens. I think you should get some rest now, maybe it would be better if you stayed here tonight."
"You're probably right. But one thing is for sure."
"What?"
"We need to speed up our research."
"Still, that can wait until the morning. I'll get you a blancket."
She walked off and left Yamato alone in the living room. Allthough he didn't really feel tiered he still layed down and drifted silently to sleep. As Sam came back, she saw him asleep and covered him with the blancket. Then she went back into her room and started reading about the ritual they were going to do soon, if they were going to speed up their research they might as well start with the ritual to make her stronger.
The next morning Yamato woke up with a shock since someone was rining the doorbell over and over again.
"Who the hell is that?" Sam came stomping out of her room. She ripped the door open and TK stood on the other side looking shocked that Sam was so bad tempered.
"Who are you?"
"Uh.., I'm Yamatos brother. I wanted to see if he was here."
"Yeah, he's here. Yamato! Your brother's here."
Yamato got up from the sofa and walked sleepily to the door.
"What's up oniisan?"
"Were you going to tell me that you weren't coming back home?"
"Sorry I forgot."
"Well, you're lucky that we've got no school today or you would be extremely late."
"We've got no school today?" Sam asked from the kitchen just making herself some toast. Tk entered the apartment and looked around.
"What do you lot do in school all day?"
"You know, talk, never pay attention, that sort of stuff." Yamato replied with a grin.
"I've noticed. Well, since half term started today we got two weeks off, no school. Remember now?"
"You really mean it?" Sam looked at TK shocked. "That is just perfect. Now we have more time."
"But we still need to do some research." Yamato began the conversation forgetting that TK was stood in the middle of them.
"Research?" he asked blankly.
"Well, tonights a full moon so we could do the ritual tonight." Sam carried on.
"Ritual?"
"Sounds good."
"We need to go shopping before though and we need some more people to do it. At least two more if Taichi is still unconcious by then."
"Unconcious?" TK didn't understand a word of what they were talking about.
"How about Mimi and TK? We'd just have to explain it to them."
"OK then here's your first victim. I'll go shopping with Mimi and tell her there."
"Will you two stop this!!" TK shouted all of a sudden at both of them. They both looked at him confused and then Yamato smiled.
"Don't worry, Teeks. I'll explain when Sam's gone."
Sam finished her breakfast and got ready to go out. When she walked out of the door she told Yamato that he was free to use the kitchen and the Tv. Yamato popped some toast into the toaster and sat down on the sofa. TK who was still stood in the middle of the room sat down next to him and turned the Tv on.
"TK turn the Tv off. I want to tell you something that is pretty hard to believe and you need to listen very carefully. It's your choice if you believe me or not but still listen."
"I'm listining." He said turning the Tv back off and putting the remote- controll on the table.
"Good." Yamato started to explain everything that had happened in the last few weeks and even showed him the cut the little girl had given him. At some points it looked like TK was going to cry but he held it back. When Yamato was finished an awkward silence came between them.
"You know what?" TK asked Yamato out of the blue.
"What?"
"You were right. It is hard to believe."
"But do you believe me?"
"I don't know." TK said without looking at Yamato. "It'll be hard, but I'll try."
"Oh, Teeks you're the best!"
"But I swear if I get hurt or something in this ritual I'm out straight away."
"I swear you wont. It will more likely be Sam who gets hurt."
"But I thought it would make her stronger."
"It will but magic works in a complicated way TK, not even I am sure how it will work."
"Well, we'll see. Hey haven't you forgotten your toast?"
"OH damn!" Yamato jumped of the sofa and felt if his toast was still warm. But knowing how unlucky he had gotten they were of course stone cold. For the rest of the time they watched some Tv and Yamato did some more research on the elemental ghosts. He found out that elemental ghost could only be summoned and couldn't come to the world anyway else. So who would have summoned Taichis father back to torture us?
"Hey TK, how was it in the night club yesterday?"
"Oh yeah, It was really great! But I didn't meet anybody." TK said sadly.
"But you did drink yourself silly didn't you?"
TK gave Yamato a little grin and he knew exactly what the answer was. TK started watching the Tv again so Yamato decided to go and see if Taichi had woken up yet. He entered the room and it was still dark. He walked over to the window and pulled the blinds up then opened it. He took a stool and stood it at the side of Taichis bed and then sat down.
"Taichi. Can you hear me? Well, if you can then wake up soon will ya? I really miss your laugh and that cute little smile. I know it's only been a day but hey, that's just the way I am. Well, just wanted to let you know how much I love you and please wake up soon we need you."
He sat there for a few minutes, holding Taichis hand when finally a tear ran down his cheek. He just couldn't hold the tears back anymore and more ran slowly down his face. It took him a while to get back a grip on himself, he whiped the tears away and went back into the living room joining TK on the sofa.
"Any change?"
"No. He's still laying there so still and lifeless."
"Maybe you should call a doctor."
"No way TK! Who knows what they would do to him. They might take him away from me."
"I know it's hard but you need to do what's best for Taichi and not for you."
"Don't you think I know that? It' best we keep him here near Sam until she can find an awakening spell."
"Well, if you say so." TK turned back to the Tv and Yamato went into the kitchen to get something to drink when Sam and Mimi bursted into the apartment with big bags full of clothes and things Yamato had never seen before.
"Uhm, Yamato? Mimi's in. How about TK?"
"He'll do it as long as he doesn't get hurt."
"Don't worry he wont. We need to set up a lot of things so we better get started."
"What do we need to do first?" TK asked turning the Tv off and finally getting off the sofa.
"Well, we'll need a big space in the room so I guess we should start with moving the furniture out of the way."
They all helped moving the sofa and everything else in the room to one side of the room and Sam left the room to get her spellbooks.
"Now before we do anything I need to do some protection spells."
"What for?" TK asked confused. "When a ritual is performed it often attracts evil spirits instaed the spirits you are trying to call."
"Ah, ok I'll just let you get on with it then."
Sam went around the whole apartment casting spells here and there but mostly only there where a corner was. Yamato didn't have a clue what she was doing so he just stayed out of her way until she came up to him and smiled.
"Well, now it's your turn."
"My turn?"
"Yep, I need to cast a spell on you. I've allready done it to TK and Mimi so now it's your turn."
"Does it hurt?"
"No stupid! It's a protection spell, why would it hurt? Tcetorp!!"
She said infront of Yamato and a big light shot out of her hand into his body. It felt nice and warm and there was a certain feeling of protection which Yamato guessed was the effect of the spell. Sam smiled at him and walked away.
"Honestly Yamato you need to lighten up a little.. Magic's not that complicated." She said and went back into her room.
The rest of the afternoon they only did preparations for the ritual which they needed to perform at midnight and there was so much to prepare Yamato couldn't believe it. Sam had painted something she called the crest of the dragon onto the middle of the floor. To Yamato it just looked like a dragons head with a circle around it but he just ignored it and got something to drink. Meanwhile Sam finished working on her crest and started to put candles along the circle. It all looked so spiritual and calm Yamato just hoped nothing would go wrong. Mimi turned all the lights in the apartment off and the only things you could see were the flames of the candles which flickered everytime somebody walked past them.
"So, now could everybody sit around the circle of candles. I need to explain a few things. Oh, and Mimi? Could you give me that bag with the accessories?"
They all sat down around the circle and Mimi gave her the bag. She pulled out a few necklaces and gave them each one, careful of not putting one of the candles out.
"During the ritual these necklaces will gather some of your energy that will be neede to do the Ritual. It will only be a very small amount of energy so no one needs to worry, you won't even feel a thing TK." She said to him and he gave her a sceptical look.
"During the ritual you might see some things happen to me which aren't very nice, when they happen keep the ritual going, never leave the circle."
Everybody nodded in acknowledgement and Sam handed them each a small old piece of paper.
"We all need to speak out this enchantment at the same time and the rest should happen itself."
They all put their necklaces on and read out the sentence on the old piece of paper. Sam layed out a big open book into the middle of the circle and layed the shining garnet onto the middle of the book. Then she closed her eyes and started talking in a weird language Yamato couldn't understand. He could only sit there oppisite to her and watch the garnet glow brighter and brighter. Sam all of a sudden opened her eyes, but they were different this time they had changed. Instead of the beautiful eyes that used to be full of emotion he was staring now only into dark eyes which had no emotion at all. He guessed that Sam must have gone into some trance of some kind and stayed were he was. Sam stood up and picked up a knife that had been laying infront of her. It wasn't a normal knife since it looked more like a dagger and it had carvings all over the blade.
She took the blade and layed the tip onto her arm and made a cut along both of her wrists then she started to talk in the weird language again and let the blood that was now pouring out of her cuts drip onto the jewel and it started to shine even brighter. But what shocked Yamato most was that the blade she was supposed to be holding in her hand now started to float and cut her cheeks and her forehead. Sam didn't show any pain and the garnet on the book soon were covered in blood.
The floor started to shake and the dragon crest which was painted on the floor started to glow. Then the book with the jewel turned into a bright light and just like the light of Sams protection spell the light flew into Sams body and she began to glow. The necklaces she gave them started to sparkle and little sparks flew up to Sam and settled on her wounds, which then healed.
The glow which surrounded Sam started to fade away and she fell to the ground. Then all the candles went out and left them in darkness. Yamato guessed that the ritual was probably over now since even the candles had gone out and Mimi had obviously thought the same thing as she turned the lights back on and Sam slowly regained conciousness.
"Is it over?" she asked Yamato as she pushed herself off the floor.
"I guess so."
"Good. Did anything happen while I was unconcious?"
"How? There wasn't much time for anything to happen in those few minutes."
"Where are my cuts?" she asked counfusedly as she looked at her arms.
"Our energy healed them." TK explained as he helped her up.
"Come on, Yamato get up." Mimi told him impatiently and he looked up at her.
"Do I have to?"
"Well you can sit there all day if you like."
"All night you mean." He said as he got up but he couldn't stand for long, the necklace seemed to have taken more energy than he had thought.
"Are you allright Yamato?" Mimi asked with her hands on her hips.
"No." He said as everything went dark and the last thing he heard was Sam shouting his name just before he passed out.
