Destiny's Magic

ch 12

On a ledge overlooking the scene that was unfolding before him. Hikaru smirked, "It's about time, I was wondering when she was going to finally leave this world. I wasn't expecting her to go that way. The nerve she had to transfer her magic to the two of them, instead of my nephew. There's nothing that can be done about it now. What's done is done, I suppose, now to move on to the next part of my plans.'

Below...

"It's your fault, both of you! Aunt Meih would still be alive if it wasn't for the two of you!" Taea growled angrily, as his eyes flared while looking directly at Kento and Kaye.

Right then Ryo got really mad and got between them. "Taea, how dare you say that! Meih did it out of her own choice! You dare put her memory to shame when you blame them!"

Taea shoved Ryo back, "it wasn't suppose to happen this way! I was suppose to get her powers! Me! Not them!"

"Taea, you're only saying those things out of grief, there's no need..." Rowen started to say.

"You're wrong Ronin. The plan was to make sure that Meih transferred her powers to me! Everything was set up perfectly, until all of you came into the picture!" Taea replied as his anger increased. As his anger started to rise, so did his power level, it didn't only increase, but it also started to change.

Kento growled, "you want these so called powers, then here you can have them!"

Taea laughed as he glared at Kento, "you fool! It doesn't work that way! You just can't give your powers to someone else just like that! Especially since we're enemies!"

"What!?" Kento asked in confusion as he jerked his head towards Taea.

"Kento, what is it?" Sage asked as he started to frown.

"You're not a real Rei Faun are you? You're a Tsungs!" Kento growled in accusation.

"You've just been hiding it all this time! A Tsungs hiding himself behind the Rei Faun family name! You have no concept of honor...You coward!" Kaye shouted at him angrily as she tackled him to the ground. After the two of them wrestled around for a while, an arrow made out of pure fire came within a few inches of piercing both of them.

"What the!?" Sage asked as he and the others looked over at it.

"Now that I have your attention, I'd suggest that you'd let my nephew go. Unless of course, you want to know what it feels like to be burned alive, starting from the inside?" Hikaru asked skeptically. Kaye shook her head, and then started to get off of him.

"You know, I'd have a lot more fun with what we've just done, but maybe under other circumstances." Taea grinned as eh got up and joined his uncle.

"You sick, twisted son of a..." Kaye started to say as Kento was right there beside her.

"Now tigress, it wouldn't be very lady like if you finished what you were going to say, now would it?" Hikaru asked with amusement.

"Look, if you're here to fight, then we're ready!" Ryo replied as he and the others got into their fighting positions.

"As much as I would love to, but unfortunately, we have to get going. We have some other things to take care of, it's time to go Taea." Hikaru replied with a laugh as he vanished.

Taea looked at them in disgust. "How Meih chose the two of you to carry on where she left off is very pathetic. I shudder to think that the last hope of the Rei Faun family rests with the two of you."

"Why you little..." Kento started to say as he had more than enough, he lunged for Taea, but just barely missed him as he vanished as well. Kento balled his hands into tight fists, his body shaking with rage, his aura enveloped around him, changing along with his emotions. A shockwave pulsated from him, making the ground shake, and the surrounding trees break into kindle.

"Kento, calm down, please." Kaye pleaded as she went to try and calm him. Kento's eyes changed, no pupils were shown, they were almost not human. "Ken...Kento?"

"What!" Kento growled as his voice started to change a bit, and then when he saw their shocked reaction, he went back to normal. "Kaye, guys...I"

"Kento, what's going on? What just happened here?" Cye asked as he finally found the words.

"It's happening, I told you that it would...I told you!" Kento shot back.

"What are you talking about? You don't actually believe that you're turning?" Sage asked in disbelief as he shook his head.

"I...I don't know, I don't know what to believe. All I know is that aunt Meih is gone, Taea betrayed the Rei Faun family name, and that Kaye and I have these new powers that she gave us. We have no idea of how to use them, no idea how long they'll be with us...Why aunt Meih, why did you choose us!? You knew that I turned my back on my heritage, so then why...Huh, why!?" Kento yelled up into the sky.

Cye had more than enough of Kento's attitude lately, as so with the others. "Kento knock it off! Get a hold of yourself right now!" Cye's eyes blazed with a different look to them as he punched him across the face.

"Cye, what?!" Kento asked in complete confusion as he brought his hand up to where Cye hit him.

"You should be accepting this not denouncing it, because if you do that, you're telling us and them that you're no longer a Rei Faun, and I'm not going to allow that to happen, even if I have to beat it into you." Cye replied as his eyes showed that he meant every word.

Cye's words echoed through Kento's mind as he finally calmed down. "Cye, you're right, I've been acting crazy, I'm sorry, forgive me."

"Well, I don't know, you've been acting like a complete baka lately." Cye teased as he winked back at the others.

"Wha..?" Kento asked in astonishment. He couldn't believe it, Cye, his best friend was doing this to him. Kento finally snapped out of it when he saw that they were trying very hard not to laugh. He grinned as he patted Cye on the shoulder. "Thanks Cye."

"Anytime Kento." Cye replied as he grinned back.

"Hmmm." Dark Lighter mused as he sensed something.

"My lord?" Nara asked as she looked towards him with an interested glance.

"It seems that Meih has finally left this world." the demon lord replied as he walked over to the banister.

"Why would that be of any concern to you?" Nara asked as she walked over to him.

"Because it seems my dear priestess that she transferred all of her powers to the two that we took them from in the first place." Dark Lighter replied as his eyes gave an angry glint to them.

Nara felt outraged, "then you're telling me that the ceremony and everything else was just a waste of our time?!"

The demon lord turned around and faced her with an evil smirk. "No, I wouldn't say a complete waste of time. Our powers got a pretty good boost of energy from the transfer, it'll be easier to track them later. Besides, they won't know how to use the powers that they've received without the proper training, and the one that can help them with that, is well, dead."

"You're planning something, aren't you?" Nara asked as she saw the glint of mischief in his eyes.

"Now Nara, what would make you say something like that?" Dark Lighter asked back as he cackled, making whoever heard him have shivers run along their spines.
