Destiny's Magic
ch 3
"Hey who do you think you are, coming in here and saying that?!" Ryo asked angrily as he glared at the stranger.
"I'm from the Tsungs family, and I'm sure that they can confirm what I say is true." the man replied as he finally came out of the shadows, and motioned to Kento and Meih.
"Leave, you are not welcome here." Meih warned with narrowed eyes.
"But I came here with a message to the young Rei Faun. Will you allow me to deliver it before I go?" the stranger asked.
"Whatever you have to say, we're not interested, now leave!" Kento demanded angrily.
"I'll leave when I'm good and ready," he replied, "now for your message; every breath that you take, Rei Faun, everyday, is on borrowed time. And soon your time will run out, when it does, I'll be waiting." the stranger replied with an evil laugh.
"Don't bet on it..." Kaye said with defiance. "Now tell us your name."
The stranger's eyes moved from Kento and Meih, and landed on Kaye. He smiled, "my name is Hikaru, and who are you my lovely?" Hikaru asked as he looked her over with interest.
"Never you mind who she is. You've delivered your message, now leave!" Kento demanded as he stepped in between them.
"Fine Rei Faun, I'm leaving...But remember, we'll meet again, count on it." Hikaru replied with an evil laugh as it echoed. Meih went back inside, and when she came back she tapped on Kaye's shoulder and motioned for her to come inside.
"Aunt Meih...Why did..." Kaye started to ask.
"Shhh, please be quiet and listen carefully." Meih replied as she took something out from her pocket and given it to her. "Take this and wear it, this talisman will be able to protect you from the Tsungs magic as long as you wear it."
"But shouldn't we..." Kaye asked as she gratefully took the talisman and put it on.
Meih looked around, "no, don't tell Kento or anyone else that I gave you this. Not yet. But beware of Hikaru Tsungs and anyone of his family, for they are very dangerous." Meih warned as she escorted Kaye back to the others.
"Thank you, and I'll keep that in mind." Kaye replied as she bowed to Meih.
"You two shouldn't go back to your house. Maybe you should come back to Mia's or some of us could stay with you two for a while, you know, just in case." Rowen suggested as they were all walking out to their vehicles.
"Thanks for the concern, Rowen, but I'm sure that we'll be just fine. We'll see you guys later." Kento replied as he ushered Kaye inside and then climbed into the drivers seat.
"Kento, wait!" Cye calls out to him as he drove off.
"That went well." Rowen said in annoyance.
"Meih, maybe it would make more sense if you would tell us what exactly," Ryo started to say, but as he and the others turned around Meih was gone. "Meih? Where did she go? She was here, right?"
"Yeah she was Ryo, ok now this is getting creepy." Sage replied as a cold shiver went up and down his spine.
"There's no way that Kento is going to even tell us about his family's magic. Actually, come to think of it, he never did talk about it once." Cye mused as he leaned back onto the wall.
"What do you want to bet that he hasn't told Kaye about any of his heritage either." Mia replied with a slight frown.
During the drive home, it was quiet, deathly quiet. Neither Kento nor Kaye were talking with each other. Each one had their own thoughts running through their heads. 'Is that why I've been getting those nightmares? Because of him? They and my family know that I've turned my back on the Rei Faun's family magic a long
time ago. So then why is he after me now? Is it because I have the armor of Hardrock? It has to be, that's the only thing that would make any sense.' Kento thought as he continued to drive.
Kaye watched out her window, 'why wouldn't Kento talk to me about this? Wouldn't he think that I would understand? Does he think that I would run away from him just because of his family's heritage? If he thinks that, then he's seriously mistaken. He should know by now that I would stand with him no matter what happens.' Kaye thought as she kept her gaze towards her window.
'Poor misguided nephew, I wish that you didn't turn your back on your heritage. You'll need the magic more than ever now, especially with the Tsungs being here. I have this bad feeling that they're after more than your armor. And I'm afraid that if you don't embrace your destiny, then you'll lose much more than your armor.' Meih thought as she watched them from above and then vanished.
'I should have known that the old one would be some trouble. I'm not surprised that I didn't sense her until just after I got there. She must have exceeded her powers. Figures, but who was the female that Rei Faun was so protective about? Could that be his wife? She seemed rather surprised about his little secret, as well as the rest of his friends. Then maybe that could be worked to my advantage. But I can't fight him here, I have to lure him somehow back to where it all started between the Rei Fauns and the Tsungs. I have to lure him back to Hong Kong.' Hikaru thought as he started to put his plan into motion.
Shortly Kento drove up to their home and parked his jeep. Kento notices that Kaye is starting to walk towards the back. He frowns slightly, "Kaye, where are you going?"
"I'm just going to do some training out back. I think that you need some alone time. So that's why I'm going. You," Kaye explained as she kissed him on the cheek. "Come and find me when you think that you have everything figured out." As Kento watched Kaye leave for their training area, he grabbed something to drink, and then sat down.
"What's there to figure out?! I mean really? So what, I turned my back on a part of my heritage. No big deal, I didn't believe in that magic anyway, even when I was a kid." Kento mumbled in annoyance to himself as he took a drink. Memories started to flood back to him. He could see it plain as day. Kento saw himself as a small child, one day, he went to his aunt Meih's bed and breakfast for a family visit. While most of the adults were talking, he got bored and decided to see if his aunt was in the back. So he went out looking for her, because he knew that she had all kinds of cool things that she would show him and tell stories about. Then just as he was going to call out to her, he heard her talk in some kind of ancient Chinese language he thought that he heard once before, but he wasn't quite sure. So he continued to go forward, listening and watching for anything that seemed to be out of place, and then it happened…
