A few days passed by since the soccer incident, no sing of Onyx was seen in the vast extentions of the sky, and that meant no sing of Blaze either. Some things roamed across my usually busy mind, some things including the fact that a misterious werewolf with bright blue eyes had saved my girl's life. My leg had recovered too, not completely but at least my swift and elegant moves had returned to my body, all this thoughts seemed to roam across my mind as I payed no attention to the talking passerbys.
My black eyes focused on a tall figure, as tall as me aproximately, with dark blue hair, like the starry night as the golden sun created a glitter effect on the silky strands. I waved over at him but Ken simply nodded seriously and vanished behind the corner. I frowned thoughtfully, what was with him? Ken had always been silent but lately he had been sort of cautious with me, almost like he wanted to avoid me. I really ignored if that was related to fear or perhaps he was somewhat mad at me, I always thought he had a crush on Yoley but never had the courage to tell her. However as this thoughts coursed through my mind, I thought about the fact that he has been acting that way since the soccer match, not before, and he had known about us all along.
An arm wraped around my shoulders and it made me lap high into the air with shock, my mind being pulled abruptly from my train of thoughts, distrated by a single action and inmediatly thrown into a state of oblivion considering my previous train of knowledge. I looked at my left into a handsome face, strands of golden hair fell messily over a pair of bright blue eyes that sparkled with intensity. I was curious about the fact that I didn't seem to reflect on them, it was almost like they were eternally staring at the glorious face of the Lady, "hey Izzy, sup?" the youngster inquired smiling at me with a knowing grin.
I smiled back, relieved to find a friendly face into the oblivious and hesitant crowd, "hi Matt, what brings you here? I thought you'd be practicing with the band" I inquired curious to know his suddely friendly manner. I should point out Matt has always ben sort of hesitant at the time of relating with people, he's a nice dude, but he's got that nack to be the grown up and generally it made him introvert and silent. Matt laughed loudly, "oh, we finished already, and I saw you walking around without paying attention to the world around you and said 'let's go pull Izzy out of his little world'" Matt explained in a voice that was way too cheerful for his usual personality. I smiled brightly, "and you did a damn good job at it!" I snapped laughing along with his melodic voice.
Matt looked down at my leg, now his face formed into features representing question, "how is your leg going?" he inquired calmly, returning to his usually serious personality. I shrugged also becoming a bit more serious than usually, "it's doing fine, it was a nasty collection of gashes, I believe I must have hit broken glass or something when I fell from my motorcycle" I explained shrugging, as if the whole matter lacked importance. Matt eyed me with that cold, hunter gaze of him that was always so intimidating, "it's curious" he said silently, almost deep in thought, eyeing something and nothing, lost his gaze in the infinity of time, of memories and thoughts. I stared at him trying to discover in his dreamy eyes the source of his thoughts, althought that was an elf's ability not a dragon's, "what is?" I inquired.
Matt returned from his travel across the Astral Plane and landed his gaze on mine, "your wound! It looked a lot like that copper dragon's wound when the black one slashed his leg" he snapped suddenly. What? I felt the blood drain from my face and my normally tan skin become paler than the recently fallen snow, drops of cold sweat dripped across my foreheard like rivers carving the mountains. How could he have known? Suddenly a lightning of realization flashed across my mind, and my shock vanished to reveal suspicion, "how could you have known that Matt?" I inquired with cold suspicion. Matt shrugged passively, almost as if the whole matter was of no importance, "Yoley told me" he explained calmly, "oh, I have to go get my lunch and then study for an exam, I'll see you later Izzy" Matt suddenly snapped, staring at his wrist where a metallic watch was wraped around it. He speeded across the corridor and vanished, leaving me very stunned standing there, for a brief moment back there I had suspected he was the black dragon that attacked me, after all, he did have blue eyes. I didn't know, so as a last resort I decided to be cautious around the blond boy.
My paces took my body across the corridor, my mind focused on two common destinies, my encounter with Yoley at the principal door and my flight home, which wont be a flight today but a rider on the sinistered motorcycle, and beautiful, apprilia scooter, grey and yellow. The people around me ran and screamed past my figure, not noticing my existance, something I always found hillarious because if I wanted to I could easily roast them all to charcoal, or tear them apart with my claws. However I was a digidestined, and as one my destiny was to save the world, not burn the school to ashes, althought sometimes it was tempting. Footsteps stomping on the ground as the loud noise of screaming, chatting and voicing reached my ears.
I stopped dry, and a smile crept up my face, footsteps, light feet caressed the tiled floor almost as if floating over them, I recognized those timid footsteps and my mind could almost picture the angelic form in front of my eyes, the beautiful chocolate eyes, the delicate smile, "Izzy, wait up" a melodious voice called. I turned around and grinned to myself, my deductions had always surprised me, the fantastic way of recognizing the people I knew by the simple sound of their approaching footsteps. I smiled at the slender figure in front of me, "hi Kari, how are you?" I inquired the young girl, internally wondering why she had reached me instead of her best friends or brother.
Kari fiddled with her fingers nervously, "I'm fine Izzy…er…thanx…um…" she stuttered, not stuttering exactly but almost like she was trying to find a way to tell me something, and I could almost imagine what it was. I became serious and placed a hand on her shoulder in a way of encouraging her to continue. Kari took a deep breath and smiled, one of her mischievous smiles I never liked, "Izzy, I've gotta tell you, ok? I like you!" she snapped. I recoiled shocked, "What?" I gasped realizing the meaning of her words. I regained my integrity upon seeing her giggle slightly, "but Kari, you know I'm with Yoley already" I explained matter of factly, emphasizing my point.
Kari smiled with her characteristical happiness and shrugged, "I know, I just wanted you to know it!" she explained almost as if speaking about the weather. Suddenly the situation seemed very akward, not because I had a friend here telling me of a crush on me, but because of the fact that my rejection seemed to matter little to the teenager in front of me. I smiled and placed a hand on her shoulder once again, "It's ok Kari, you know you can always tell me anything that bothers you" I explained flashing her my usual, friendly smile. Kari smiled back, brighter and stronger than previously, "thank you Izzy!" she exclaimed happily. A thought nagged in the back of my brain, and I knew I had to get it out before it became too unbearable to hold, "Kari…um, didn't you like TK? I mean everyone is voting for the two of you to end up as an item!" I commented shrugging lightly, wondering why her eyes had landed on the computer nerd instead of on the more handsome TK.
Kari gasped almost alarmed, and suddenly she broke into a sound laughter, full of amusement and even like the words pronounce had been unthinkable. I raised my right eyebrow wondering where the hillary was in all this, "what's so funny?" I inquired in a slightly annoyed voice. Kari took several deep breaths and smiled at me, relaxing a bit,her hands clutching her sore stomach, "because he's gay Izzy" she explained as if that was the most common thing in the world. My eyes widdened slightly, now I wasn't expecting that answer, perhaps the kind of "I like him like a brother" but not the kind of response where his sexuality would be revealed to be different than the common thinking. I smiled lightly, "oh…ok, I must admit I wasn't expecting that" I said chuckling slightly. Kari smiled at me, "he's one of my best friends, but only that, but it's a pity, all cute guys either are gay or are taken" she explained shaking her head in fake pity. I passed an arm around her shoulder and smile, "come on, I'll help you find your brother" I said giving her one of my kindest and more friendly smiles. Kari smiled thankfully and nodded, "by the way, am I included into the cute group?" I inquired jokingly. Kari simply emitted n echoing laugh that expanded like the melodious song of angels across the quickly emptying corridors.
The shrieking of the doorbell echoed throught the empty house, piercing my ears and startling my drowze senses. I groaned displeased at having to shift from my comfortable position at the sofa, the yellow faces and bright colours from "the Simpson" still flashed into my sleepy eyes. I stood up and paced torwards the door, the bell shrieked again, insisting in being received. I yawned somewhat sleepy, "I heard you, I'm coming" I called in a sore voice. As soon as I oppened the door a hand grabed the collar of my shirt and yanked me out abruptly.
Dark brown eyes stared at me with fury, flames seemed to sparkle in the deepness of those chocolate orbs, and lips were pursed back in a gesture of anger. I stared with no fear at the boy, my eyebrows raised in a quizical expression, " Tai, I demand to know the reason of this action" I inquired sounding way too proffesional and serious to sound like the real self I really was. Tai's grip on my shirt tightened so much I thought his fingers would pierce through the cloth, "don't act like an idiot, Izzy, I know my sister conffesed her feelings and you refused!" he snarled like a rabid dog. My eyes widdened, "what?" I snapped as shock spread across my teenager body, "why of course I didn't return her feelings, because I'm dating Yoley!" I explained gesticulating calmly with my hands, my black eyes into his in a hopeless attempt to explain the vericity of my words. Instead of subsiding his anger it seemed to boost it, Tai pushed me away and my feet made contact with the railing of the small open corridor, "isnt she good enough for you Izzy?" he barked, I could even see poison dripping from some imaginary basilisk fangs. Tai's arm moved behind him, and his fingers closed into a tight fist, "I'll teach you to hurt my sister's feelings, nerd!" he growled as his face became very red.
What happened next was swift like the lightning, Tai's punch was well aimed at my face but my inhuman speed took the better chance and both my hands covered my face and stopped the punch with amazing agility. However my much lighter body in human form was propulsed backwards by the force of the punch, and my amazing bad luck had it that my back collided against the railing and I toppled over it. I screamed loudly as my body dropped in a free fall torwards the street below my building. Tai also screamed, his senses returning and his mind realizing what he had done, he had thrown his friend to a sure death, all because of an obvious fact. To be more exact, at the time of telling him such, Kari was more than anything passive, like it didn't matter, what she surely wasn't was depressed, she even tried to stop him upon realizing his destination and his intentions. He turned around forggeting all anger and rage, and speeded down the stairs, all blood drained from his face, his stomach knotted into a tight ball as realization of his actions controled all cool temper.
No, this was not it, not for me. Without thinking about anything else I quickly became Blaze, my enormous wings expanded and I controled my flight, stopped the fall and diminishing my speed to a minimum. However that same apendice that had saved my life collided against one of the substentation colums of the buildings, by the height of floor 2, making me loose all control and plumeting my body torwards the street. I groaned as my stomach collided with the hard paviment, and my eyes fluttered open while my head shook from side to side to clear it, copper scales fell like a rain of flaming stars, of golden glitter, of snow washed by the afternoon sun.
My eyes examined the figure in front of me, I could hear the people running wildly all around the place, screaming like the end of the world was approaching, racing to find shelter from a furious dragon that had cfallen from the sky, a poor reptile that painfully layed on the tiled floor of the avenue. But this figure didn't even move, his body was tense, all muscles were tight and hard, his eyes were a piercing icy blue, like two icycles, tearing my dragon integrity apart, "Blaze" he snarled in a voice that sounded no human, but my mind analized the language as the complicated speech of dragons. My black eyes widdened realizing who was standing in front of me, hidden under the appereance of a digidestine, "Onyx!" I growled in a shocked voice. I couldn't believe it, Onyx was…
