Author's Note: Hey, just taking a quick intermission to explain something else here. This is not a cross over with card captors. It may look like it, but it's not, I'm just using the entities, not the cards themselves. I've switched the entities' magical containment from cards to talismans and parchments, I'll be using the talismans and parchments either together or separate to summon and control the entities. The entities' descriptions and abilities are the same, but where they came from are not. Just a little fyi. ja ne

Destiny's Magic

ch 4

Kento was snapped back to reality when he heard a loud explosion. He quickly jumped up out of his chair and ran toward the source of it. Again there was another, and then he finally realized where it was coming from, it was coming from the back, more specifically, at his and Kaye's training area. 'NO...Kaye!' Kento thought in urgency as he continued to race towards the explosions.

"Hikaru..." Kaye said as she glared at him in fighting position. "How did you find this place?"

"I'll be happy to explain, I can sense any Rei Faun, and vice versa. So it was easy to track you two. I'm just surprised that since Kento knows I'm here, that he would let you walk around alone. And that my lovely, is a very dangerous mistake." Hikaru replied with an evil laugh.

"Hey pal, I don't play the damsel in distress. I can hold my own thank you very much." Kaye said as she transformed into her sub armor.

"Hmmm, very interesting. I was wondering what other type of magic that I was sensing. Now I know. But I warn you now, you have no idea of what you're getting

yourself into." Hikaru warned as a glint of amusement gleamed in his eyes. "Now let's see what you can do when you're up against something like this." Hikaru quickly pulled out a talisman and a parchment, chanted a few words and then finally called out. "Shadow!"

"What the?" Kaye asked as she stepped back from the dark cloaked figure.

"You look surprised, well let me introduce you, this is shadow, he's well, let's just say that you'll find out in a few minutes." Hikaru replied as he motioned for shadow to get ready to attack. "Shadow...Attack." Just as Hikaru ordered it to, shadow darted towards her. Kaye saw that it was coming at a very fast pace, and it was getting closer by the second. Just about when the shadow was to complete it's attack, Kaye barely dodged out of the way, and rolled to the other side. Shadow halted, and then turned around and hovered in the air looking towards her, eyes flared red for a quick second.

'That was too close.' Kaye thought as she got up.

"Well done, now let's see how you do with a second one on the battle ground." Hikaru said in an impressive tone. He took out another talisman and parchment, and chanted a few more words, and then called forth another. "Time!" An old man holding an hour glass appeared hovering in the air just above them. "What will you do now?"

As Kento ran, he could feel that something was terribly wrong. His speed in creased even more, as he quickly willed his sub armor. Just as he was about there, Hikaru motioned for both time and shadow to attack. Time glowed and made what Hikaru believed that Kaye was frozen, he then motioned for shadow to attack again. Just as Kento got with in seeing distance, he yelled out just as shadow engulfed Kaye inside. "NO!"

Hikaru laughed as he turned around and seen that Kento was charging towards him. But just as Kento got close enough he froze in place. "What's the matter, Rei Faun? Can't move?" Kento growled, as he glared at Hikaru. "What's that? You don't say, I see, this could be very useful." Hikaru grinned evilly as he looked over towards Kento. "It seems that my shadow has told me of something that I find particularly interesting. It looks like the one that I have inside of shadow, is your wife. Now that I do find very intriguing."

"Let her out! She has nothing to do with this!" Kento yelled at him angrily.

"That's where you're wrong Kento, see it doesn't matter if the people that come into the Rei Faun family, either by blood or marriage, they are still considered Rei Fauns. So she is just as involved with this family feud as the rest of you." Hikaru replied with a wicked grin.

"My family and yours knows that I've turned my back on the so called "magic" a long time ago! So then the only reason why I think that you're here is because of my armor!" Kento shot back.

"Yes, we all know that you did, but it doesn't matter, you still have that magic running through you. You always will, it's your destiny. In regards to your armor, yes,

I'm after that, but you don't see the full picture yet, and that's just a shame. But when and if you do realize my true reason, it'll be too late to do anything about it." Hikaru replied with a glint in his eyes.

'Ken...Kento.' Kaye thought and then the light from the talisman she was wearing punched a hole right through shadow, wounding it. Hikaru turned around in anger as he saw that shadow was starting to wither away, and that Kaye was kneeling on the ground.

'No! How can that be possible!? Unless...' Hikaru thought in anger as he saw the talisman that was swinging from Kaye's neck. Hikaru called them both back, "this is far from over, Rei Faun!" Hikaru vanishes, and Kento stumbled forward a bit, then quickly as he could, he went over to Kaye and knelt down beside her.

"Kaye, are you..?" Kento asked in concern.

Kaye looked up, he could see that she has a very tired look in her eyes, but over all ok. "Yeah Kento, I'm alright, just tired I guess. What about you? Are you..?"

"I'm fine, just glad that you're ok." Kento replied as he helped her up. "Hey, what's that?" Kento motioned to the talisman that was now outside of her sub armor.

"It's ah.." Kaye replied as was starting to try and explain it to him. Just then he realized what it was, his eyes narrowed and then he began to storm off. "Kento! Where are you going?!"

Kento stopped and whirled around, "aunt Meih gave that to you before we left, didn't she!?"

"Yeah she did, so what?! She said that it would help keep me safe! So what's your problem?" Kaye asked back.

"I didn't want you or the others involved in this, especially you. If I lost you, then...I..." Kento replied quietly as he lowered his head and closed his eyes. Kaye walked over to him.

"Kento, look at me." Raises his head, and looks towards him with caring eyes. "You're not going to lose me. I'll always be with you here." Placing her other hand to his heart. Kento brought his hands up and pulled her hand away, and held it in his. Kaye then took her other hand and gently put it on top. "You and I are one, now and forever." They looked deep into each other's eyes, and then started to move in closer to each other.

They were close enough, as they were going to kiss, when, "I knew that I should have brought my camera.." Meih said as she appeared out of nowhere.

They quickly broke apart, Kaye blushed and Kento gave a small growl. "Where did you come from aunt Meih?"

"That's none of your concern, nephew. I sensed that there was terrible magic near by, and then I arrived." Meih replied in a calm fashion as she was floating in thin air.

"How convenient." Kento mumbled under his breath.

"Kento." Kaye replied as she glanced over towards him.

"It's alright, I expect my nephew to respond like that towards me. I'm not surprised, and I don't see why I should be." Meih said in reassurance. "And besides, I also sensed that the talisman that I gave you did it's job, and protected you from the Tsungs magic."

"Protected her, how can you say that it protected her!? Hikaru still was able to attack Kaye, and..." Kento ranted as he started to get angry.

"And nothing really happened. Don't look at me like that. I know that he used shadow and time to capture her." Meih replied as she looked at them.

"But how could you have known? You weren't here!" Kento said as his anger started to show.

"Calm down nephew, becoming angry won't help you if you are to win against Hikaru Tsungs. You must learn how to use the magic that runs in your veins. Because if you don't then I'm afraid that you'll lose more than just your armor." Meih replied as she lowered her eyes.

"Meih, if you know something, anything, please..." Kaye started to say.

"I'm sorry, but I don't even know what all that Hikaru has planned. If I did, then I would have been able to help you out sooner, but now it's too late, I can't help you now." Meih replied as she shook her head.

"What!? What do you mean you can't help us now? Why not? You're a Rei Faun like the rest of us! They'll be after you too, or have you forgotten?!" Kento asked angrily.

"I haven't forgotten, but I can't help you here, my powers are at the maximum over where this feud originated." Meih replied as she looked up towards him.

"And where is that exactly?" Kaye asked in a curious manner.

"It's in Hong Kong." Meih replied as she started to vanish.

"Meih, wait!" Kaye called out to her, but it was too late, Meih was gone. And then as soon as she was gone, an evil laugh echoed through out the night.

"I recognize that voice! Hikaru! Show yourself if you're not a coward!" Kento challenged as he and Kaye looked around.

"If you insist." Hikaru replied as he appeared with another entity that had a shape like a kaleidoscope floating beside him. "You look surprised to see me, what you actually thought that I've left? Well don't be, I only made it look like I was. You know, maybe we should let you get acquainted with another, well let's just call them mystical entities for now." A woman with covered with leaves and branches floated beside Hikaru. "Meet Wood."

'Wood? What kind of name is that, and for the next thing, who the heck names these things anyway?' Kento wondered as he and Kaye glared up at Hikaru, both unaware that wood called upon the vines of the trees to form a cage. The cage started to slowly approach the two unsuspecting fighters, it was coming closer and closer, it was almost there, when....
