The Magic Within. Chapter four.

            Tk stared at the rippling blue sea and smiled, he loved watching the water in the morning. He turned round and faced Mimi who had her hands on her hips and was glaring at him. Tk knew she was about to get annoyed with him, he had been steering the boat until one am and had gotten up at five am to watch the sun rise.

"Hey Mimi, beautiful morning, don't you think?"

"What time did you get up? If you tell me any earlier then seven I'll kill you."

"Heh, well sort of . . . . . . fivish."

"You are so dead" she said and pointed her hand at the cabin door, "Bed now!"

"But I'm not tired Meems, and I want to help out."

"Fine, have it your way. Go help Tai, Matt and Kari."

Tk nodded and ran over to the three who where having trouble with the sails. He smiled at them and started to explain to them what they should be doing. Tai and Matt didn't understand at all, Kari did and soon Tk and Kari had everything under control.

"For someone who is supposed to be a prince you aren't very good at anything." Mimi said as she came over with a tray of food. Tk sighed, everyone had become good friends since they had fought the dragon apart from Mimi and Matt. They constantly insulted each other at any time they could, Tk knew that Mimi actually liked Matt. He had seen the way she looked at him when his back was turned. He felt like shouting at her, if she liked him why did she insult him all the time? He watched as Matt turned his back on her and began to eat his food, a wistful look appeared in her eyes she shook it away and turned back towards the cabin. Tk smiled at Kari who had also seen the look, Tk had grown very close to Kari as well. They had told each other all their secrets and always did everything together, the pair where quite a team. The two stood up and left Matt and Tai to it, while they went off to chat. Something had been bugging Tk for a while ever since the others had come aboard ship, it was Matt. It wasn't like the boy annoyed him it was just he felt as if he had already met him. As if his personality was familiar but yet not. He shook his head to clear him of these thoughts and joined Kari watching the water.

"Matt likes her as well."

"Good, I just wish they would admit it. It's beginning to get on my nerves the pair always squabbling."

Kari laughed and Tk had to shake the thought that she sounded like an angel from his head. It wasn't possible of an upper class person to like someone like him. The two chatted until lunch, the pair wandered off at that point to join the others for some food. The afternoon was also quiet apart from the sounds of clashing swords. TK, Mimi, Ken, Yolei and Davis had been training the other children to be better at sword fighting and in heir powers. Which were only just coming out. It would take a while yet for them to fully develop. All in all it was a good and quiet day.

            The next day though was a different story. Tk woke up at the normal time and went to sit up in the crow's nest and that's when he saw it. There were two island ahead of them. One was very big and was called the majikku island the one beside it was the one they wanted the hikage island. They had managed to work out that these were the two they wanted. Gennai had said that it was out to sea and had an island that was big in trade near it, and these were the only ones that fitted the description.

"The islands are in sight!"

Davis and Ken quickly climbed up and looked out. There they were one bright and cheerful, the other dark and mysterious. Tk felt more was coming from it though, a sense of evil was rushing towards him and it got stronger the closer they got. Tk left Davis and Ken up there and slid down a rope to the deck. He walked over to the back of the boat and stared at the sea, hoping it would rid him of the nasty feeling that was welling inside him. Kari joined him, after a minute of staring at the sea she asked, "Can you feel it to?"

"You mean the feeling of coldness and pain?" She nodded at him and he carried on, "Yeah, I can feel it alright."

They didn't say anything to the others knowing that it would do no good, as they had to get to that island. They just had to.

            A couple of days later they reached majikku island, stepping off the boat Tk and Kari felt a wave of different feelings washed over them. Happiness, peace, tension and evil? O.k. tension they expected as people where running around trying to get things ready for the boats but evil? That wasn't supposed to be there not at all. Kari glanced at Tk and knew that he was worried about this too, somehow they had too sneak onto a boat going to hikage and get off and get around without being seen and find lots of information out. Then go and destroy whatever evil there was inside. Kari looked round as she stepped onto the wooden deck, the air was humid and beyond the deck was a jungle. Huge green lushes trees and beautiful flowers of all colours where everywhere. She smiled this place was unbelievably gorgeous, as was Tk. Kari shook her head, where on earth had that thought come from? She looked at Tk then forward again she couldn't like him could she? At that point she decided that she would keep her feelings locked up, because in the middle of a battle isn't the best time to express them.

            Tai wrapped his arm round Sora's shoulders as their guide took them through the jungle on one of the many paths. Sora sighed and snuggled deeper into Tai's shoulder, everything looked so calm and yet Sora felt fear welling up inside her. She shivered, she was worried about what they had to do, Tai seemed to feel her fear and tightened his grip to comfort her. Sora smiled, Tai always knew what to do to make her happy. The group followed their guide through the jungle until they reached one of many villages. People were rushing around everywhere, moving cargo backwards and forwards. Their guide lead them over to a hut, it had brick walls and leaves for the roof. Inside was a small kitchen, a living room and a set of stairs leading upstairs to two rooms. Each room contained beds one was for the girls the other was for the boys. The guide left the group to look round, once they had down that they went off to bed agreeing that they would start spying first thing in the morning.

            Early next morning when the sun was just making it's way over the tree tops Tk woke up. Dressing quickly the young boy headed down to the kitchen where he started to make breakfast for everyone. The others soon got up quickly and they all headed towards the town, they split up into groups. Ken, Yolei, Davis, Cody, Izzy and Joe in one group while the other had Tk, Mimi, Tai, Kari Sora and Matt. The first group was supposed to go round and find information out from the people while the second group was supposed to find out when the boats leave and how they would get on it. The children split into two and headed off. Tk and Kari were silent while the other four chatted or in Matt's and Mimi's case agued. They reached the dock and looked around, the harbour was huge and had three areas too it. One was for the ships going out with cargo, one was for the ships coming in with cargo and the last was for visitors coming in and out. They scanned the crowd, and Tai spotted a man in a blue uniform standing near the first area with a clipboard in his hand. Tai started to walk forward when Tk grabbed his arm.

"Tai, if we are spotted sneaking onto the boat they'll recognise you."

"What do you suggest we do then?"

"Girl's are not thought of as bandits or thieves, and if a girl can keep hidden more then they will hardly recognise her. So I say Mimi goes in with her hood up."

"You're saying we send a girl in?" Matt asked staring at Tk in disbelief.

"You have a problem with a girl going in chum?"

"No Mimi, I have a problem with you going in!"

Mimi opened her mouth to reply but was cut off by Tk.

"Meems you're a wonderful fighter. But Matt hasn't yet seen it and I'm sure when he does he will think you're a great fighter too. So why don't you go and get that man talking kay?"

Mimi and Matt nodded though they and Tk knew that he was telling a load of lies. Matt would never think Mimi was good at anything well he wouldn't admit it at least. Mimi pulled her hood up and walked over to the man in the uniform. Matt, Tai, Sora and Kari stared at Mimi and the guard as she walked over. Tk elbowed Kari and hissed, "Haven't you ever done this kinda thing before?"

"No we have not."

"First rule, you don't stare at them. Second rule, you find something to do close by so you fit in and don't look suspicious. Third rule, if they move you suggest something to do in the direction they're going in and follow them at a safe distance."

The others stared at Tk, jaws slack, "You've done this before haven't you?"

"Yep. Now come on."

They followed him to a notice board about the boats and pretended to read it while they kept an ear out for Mimi and the guard.

"Excuse me," Mimi said in a sweet tone, "I'm new around here and I need to start work. I'm supposed to be helping get cargo to hikage island but I haven't been told what to do. Can you help me?"

"Well girlie tell me what job you do?"

"They haven't told me yet."

"Really?"

"Yes sir" Mimi said, coating her words in sugar, "Please could you tell me what time the boat gets here and when it leaves?"

The man seemed to soften, "It gets here at about nine pm and leaves at nine thirty after the cargo had been loaded."

"Thank you so much, I'll be sure to remember your kindness." She said smiling and wiggled her hips as she walked away. She disappeared round the corner and waited for Tk and the others to join her.

"Information got, so we should come back later and get on it with everyone else."

"Shouldn't we talk about this first."

"Well discuss it later Tk."

Tk nodded the uneasy feeling in his stomach growing. They met up with the second group and stopped at a restaurant while they chatted.

"We found out that quite a few people on this island feel that something wrong is going on. There have also been some unexplainable deaths near the island and people are getting a bit worried."

"There have also been some weird orders, that are also amazingly dangerous."

"What do you mean amazingly dangerous?"

"High explosives, dangerous chemicals, swords weaponry. That kinda thing."

"This isn't going to be as easy as we thought it would be." Tai sighed, running his hand through his messy hair. Sora wrapped her arms around him, trying to comfort him. They sat there for a moment, it seemed now as if they had walked in without thinking at all and now they were stuck. That old man had made it sound so easy to beat these people. But it wasn't.

"We can do it!"

"What makes you say that Tk? Us children that haven't lived on a boat all our lives and aren't perfect in this special fighting thing, how much good are we? And how much good are the five of you by yourselves?"

"We're not going to be by ourselves, cos we'll have you. You're special Matt and so is everyone else. And if they think we can do it, then we can and we will!"

Everyone was silent for a moment, then Kari's mouth curved into a smile.

"Have you practised these speeches Tk? Because you are very good at them!"

"Should I take that as you're coming with me?"

"Sure am." Tai sighed as he heard Kari's last sentence, before standing up.

"Well, if my little sisters coming then I have to, to."

"Kari doesn't need defending Tai" Sora said standing up and pushing him slightly, "you do!"

Everyone laughed and stood up as well, they were going to walk head first into a new territory with hardly any information at all and try and save the world. They were nuts, they all knew they were nuts.

            Early next morning the whole group woke up, after shopping all yesterday for things that they might need on their journey they headed out to the docks. Mimi, Yolei, Sora and Kari walked over to the crew assembled by the docks and began to chatted to them, batting their eyelashes the whole time. The four girls giggled and lead them into an alley, outside an abdomen ware house. They stopped turned and faced the thirteen men before letting out an array off kicks and punches. Nothing that would really harm the men, just enough to knock them out for a while. They dragged them into a room in a ware house threw a bag of food and drink in with them and locked the door. The girls came round the corner, brushing their hands off, looking like real pros. They walked up to the boys and one by one they slowly walked over an began loading the cargo. Once it was all loaded at nine thirty, the ship set sail. No one seemed to notice that the people were different, but that was a good thing. Once they were far enough away Tai jumped in the air and yelled with joy, "We did it, we did it."

"It's only the first part."

"You worry way to much Iz, Come on let's look around."

It wasn't the most beautiful of boats, it was dirty brown in colour and wasn't very well furnished or had any decorations or carvings. Most of the room was for the cargo and the bedrooms were small, especially since there were so many of them. But they didn't mind, they wouldn't have to stay on this boat for a long time.

            It was four days later when they reached hikage island, they reached the small black dock and began to unload the cargo. Beyond the dock was a forest, a black forest. They could hear horrid noises coming from inside it's dark depths as they unloaded and the skin prickled. Two humans walked up, though Tk and Kari weren't very sure if they were human. They were tall and way to thin and kept their bodies and faces hidden by long dark blue coats and hats.

"Carry the cargo this way please." One hissed in an oily voice, while Tk, Tai, Izzy, Cody, Joe, Davis, Ken and Izzy helped carry the cargo the others stayed in the cabin hidden from view. Matt was grumbling, the reason he had to stay behind was because of his looks. There were hardly any blonde haired blue eyed children in Japan and he was one of them, and if people saw him they would realise that he was the prince and the whole thing would have ended. So he had to stay in the cabin with the girls, the girls too had to stay there for a reason. The Master of hikage island didn't employ girls to work for him, so the five were told to stay below deck. Tk knew that they weren't going to so he left his torch and a sword behind. As soon as the group heard the footsteps die down they raced to the table, Kari picked up the sword and attached to her belt, as she didn't have her own sword like the other girls and had to borrow one. Mimi picked the torch up and looked out the window, all gone.

"Come on, let's move it."

"We can't Mimi, what if they spot us?"

"Don't me so pathetic Matt, they aren't going to see us. Anyway we need to get a good look round the island, don't we? So why not now?" And with that she opened the trap door and walked out. The four followed her and they were soon walking around in the pitch black, Yolei shivered and hugged herself. There was no noise in the forest apart from the odd evil whisper every now and then. It looked as if there were no living animals here at all. Which Yolei was glad of, but the shadows and plants sure did look like monsters and that's what scared her. She didn't use to think there was such a thing as monsters until she met Hawkmon, even then she didn't think there were bad monsters in the world. And it suddenly struck her, that if they did meet a monster how were they going to fight it? She sped up and found herself walking along side Kari. They walked for ten minutes at least their footsteps echoing in the dead forest for that was what it was dead. It looked as if it had been painted black, everything was leaning forward in one directing as if begging to get away from something. Mimi knew there was only one thing they could do, go in the direction the plants were leaning away from. Shoving through branches and squishing through the mud, they saw it loam before them. A great towering black castle. Though you couldn't really call it a castle, it was made of black glass and was jagged as if it was part if a huge bottle that had been broken and this was one of the remaining pieces. They stared up at it in awe, Let's go back, please can we go back." Yolei whispered taking slow steps away from the castle.

"You're right, let's see if we can find anything else." Mimi whispered and she turned and ran, the others followed the castle  seemed awful and haunted and your felt as if you stayed there too long it would somehow crush you. They ran fast as they could hoping that no one heard their footprints. A ear splitting shriek split the air, and they stopped. Mimi glanced round, and in a terrified whispered asked, "What was that?"

"I have no idea, and I don't want to find out."

"Yolei's right, let's go!"

"Sora we can't it might hear us then."

"Well what do you suggest. We stay here and get eaten no thank you. I want to live a long life even if you don't." Then they heard it big echoing footsteps, coming strait towards them.

"Scrap my idea" Matt hissed, "Run for it!" The group took to their heels running as fast as they could, they heard a low grunt and the footsteps got faster. Suddenly Mimi vanished, "Mimi" Matt hissed out, "Where are you?" A coughing sound came from his right and he looked down Mimi was in a large pit. He turned to the other three, "Get out of here. I'll get Mimi out." They nodded and ran away back to the boat. There was a sudden roar and Matt knew it was coming and he knew there was no way he could out run it.

What do you think? Please review and tell me, even if it's to say that you think I have awful grammar. Which is true, I am no good at spelling or grammar.
