Soulist

Kouji gave the strange flute to the panting Kouichi, and then looked expectantly at Takuya. Takuya sighed, and looked at Junpei, Tomoki, and Kouichi. He looked back at Kouji then.

"Don't blame us if you don't believe what I'm about to say," Takuya warned. He took a deep breath and muttered to himself. Then he spoke up. "Well, there are a group of five kids called the Legendary Warriors, soon to be six. We are the Legendary Warriors --" Takuya motioned to Kouichi, Junpei, and Tomoki "-- and we think that you are the last addition to our league. The Crystal Angel has chosen us to protect this world. The Crystal Angel is a spirit who keeps the world balanced. But for some reason, the amount of evil has developed at an alarming rate and if it keeps increasing, all that is peaceful and good here will be destroyed. That will throw the world out of balance and it will be destroyed also. In order for peace, there has to be an equal amount of light and darkness.

"Like I said before," Takuya continued. "There are six Legendary Warriors. They are: The Warrior of Fire, The Warrior of Electricity, The Warrior of Ice, The Warrior of Darkness, The Warrior of Wind, and The Warrior of Light. I am the Warrior of Fire, Junpei is electricity, Tomoki is ice, and Kouichi is darkness. We think you are The Warrior of Light."

Kouji looked at Takuya as if he was a tap-dancing bean with a tophat.

"There are six?" he asked. "I only see four."

Takuya sighed in annoyance. "There are FIVE of us, including you. The Warrior of Wind, Orimoto Izumi, was captured a few days ago. We need your help to find her."

Kouji stood in silence as he let everything sink in. Light? He was anything but light. He hated everyone. But a girl was in trouble. There was no excuse for kidnapping a poor, defenseless girl. He grinned and said, "I'll help you find Orimoto. NOT because I believe in the League of Warriors or anything --"

"LEGENDARY Warriors," Takuya corrected.

"Whatever," Kouji replied. "I'll help because a girl is involved. No one picks on girls and gets away with it."

Kouji then looked at Kouichi. "What's with the flute?"

Kouichi quickly shifted his gaze to Kouji. "Oh, it's um . . . my weapon."

Kouji raised one eyebrow.

"Lemme show you," he said. He then raised the flute and pointed it at a dead leaf on the sidewalk. He played a shrill tune, and a dark purple orb formed around the leaf, and in seconds, it exploded with a small sound.

Kouichi looked back at Kouji. "See?"

Kouji returned his attention to Takuya. "Where do we begin?"

Takuya grinned, an impish act which made Kouji VERY uncomfortable.
