[Kitty: ^__^ I think this story is much better than Ph&Pr.
Lina: It is, I must admit.
Yugi: ^_^ R&R!]
Chapter Two: New Friends
Atem learned rather quickly, and soon he and Suzu spoke in simple words like "bread" to show she was hungry, or "water" for thirsty. However, they also spoke in other words like "friend" or "pet" to indicate people and animals.
The second morning Suzu was there, she met Jou. Jou, not being able to talk to her, let Atem spell his name into her hand.
"Ju?" Suzu said his name as if in question.
Atem put her hand to his face and shook his head no to signal she said it wrong.
"Jou?"
Atem nodded yes. Suzu smiled, before surprising everyone by saying, "Nice to meet you, Jou."
Suzu seemed to be full of surprises. Once, when the florist had given her a new bouquet for her room, he, apparently, had put weeds in the vase.
Atem scolded him, but Suzu felt the flowers before taking out some of the weeds and sniffing them.
Atem spelled "w-e-e-d-s" into her hand, and then put her hand to his mouth so she could feel that he was frowning.
But Suzu shook her head. "Smell," she said.
She put a hand over his eyes and put the "weeds" near his nose.
Atem sniffed, and instead of no scent, there was a fresh, flowery scent.
"Flower," Suzu said, "Rosemary."
In the evenings, Suzu would learn to control her powers. Atem still didn't know everything that Seito (his High Priest and cousin) was teaching her, but since Isis had requested specifically that Seito did so, Atem hadn't made any complaint.
[Kitty: Well, since we aren't Atem and we don't need to be clueless, let's see what Suzu and Seito are doing.........
Yugi: BTW, Seito is a psychic, so he can talk to Suzu that way.]
{Focus,} Seito said using his psyche, {Remember: you must trust me to face you in the right direction. If you can't, your power won't go full- throttle.}
Suzu nodded, and closed her eyes.
{Now send your energy in this direction,} Seito thought, {As hard as you can.}
Suzu concentrated, but nothing happened. "Can't!" she said.
{Yes, you can,} Seito thought toward her, {Try again.}
Suzu concentrated again, but still nothing happened. "Can't!"
Seito thought about how to help, and then remembered something from his old textbooks.
{Focus on something that gives you strength,} he said, {Either something you love or something you hate.}
"Which?" Suzu asked awkwardly.
{If you choose something you love, you'll heal or help grow something. If you choose something you hate, you'll damage it. How much you do depends on how strongly you feel that emotion for that thing.}
Suzu nodded, and closed her eyes again. She concentrated, and then suddenly, a blast of fire flew out of her closed eyes and set fire to the whole room.
{Oh, Ra...} Seito thought.
Seito pulled her out of the room just as the fire went toward some barrels of oil that were levitated for shot practice.
{GET DOWN!} Seito said, jumping onto the ground and dodging some flames, before the whole room exploded in fire and smoke.
People ran out of their rooms to see what was going on, both scared and shocked about the fire.
Seito summoned some water to put out the flames, but he felt half drunk with shock.
{I've...never seen power so strong...} He felt terrified, but he also felt slightly.........intrigued.
"Seito!" Atem ran toward him, "What in Ra's name happened?!"
"I...barely know," Seito said, still shaken, "We...tried to use her powers... I suppose it was...too strong..."
Suzu was crying. *What was I doing?!* she thought. Even if she barely knew what was going on in reality, she could tell something bad had happened, just by the way Seito had "spoken" to her. *Why didn't I just use a happy memory?!*
Atem hugged Suzu, and stroked her back to sooth her. He wiped away her tears as if to say, "It's okay," and Suzu smiled, before letting him hug her again.
"Seito," Atem said in a very Pharaoh-like tone, "Suzu will be on break for the rest of the week."
Seito bowed. "As you wish, my Pharaoh." And with that, he left.
But as he left, he turned over the same topic in his head over and over again......... {What did Suzu think to create such power?}
[Kitty: Hey, all. That's Chapter Two. Cool, ne?
Lina: 0_0
Yugi: Any reviews, Kitty?
Kitty: Um...yes, two, and one of them's from Jesse! ^___^
Yugi: Cool. ^_^ Now, time for you to answer them!
Kitty: Mizuneko, a.k.a. Jesse- Yah, like Helen Keller. I like the concept, blind and deaf to everything......... but Suzuki isn't as spoiled or as rude as Helen was when she was a kid. To the pairing, NO DUH! ^_^ And I luv the catch phrase! ^_~
Lina: Tetsuya Kaiba- 0_o Shizuka? Do you mean Suzuki? And I think Suzu's doing fine...
Kitty: *shrugs* Do you mean for someone or something to take care of her? Or for someone or something to stop her from being blind? ^_^; I don't quite understand...no offense or anything.
Yugi: R&R, peoples!]
Lina: It is, I must admit.
