Konnichi-wa again! According to Loki, I'm not allowed to say my story sucks anymore. Oh well... -cough- it does -cough- Pardon me! I think I have a cough... Well, thanks for the one person that reviewed to threaten me! Not too sure if I'm happy about that, but we'll go with it. Here's the next!

The materials were gathered. The candles were lit. Did he have everything? P. Seto stood back and looked at the Kaiba Mansion's backyard, which he had temporarily modified. The symbols had been drawn on the ground, he had lit the candles in the correct places and manner, and he was on the correct page in his book. He would have the power of a god if this worked. But what could possibly go wrong?
He began the ritual when the sun started to disappear and the sky turned shades of pink and purple. His low chanting stirred the energies around and within him. What seemed a small breeze whispered in a circle just around the edge of the one he made with the candles and markings. It closed in on him, getting stronger and faster and collecting the flames with it, giving the whirlwind a slight orange tint. The priest continued his chanting until the hurricane whipped his hair and cape around him... and then, it stopped. Well, it would look like it to a bystander (thankfully, there were none), but in truth the energy of the wind had been absorbed into Sutekhotep's body. He now possessed the power over wind. He had four other spells to cast now: fire, water, earth, and the most difficult, lightning. He gathered his materials and walked back inside the mansion, thinking about whether an ocean or pond would be better for his next spell.
"Planning on telling me what the hell you're doing?" Her voice, though sarcastic, was as beautiful as a Siren's song. P. Seto jerked himself out of dreamland and looked at Ally innocently.
"I'm not doing anything, dearest," his words were 'honey coated.'
Ally folded her arms over her chest (much to P. Seto's dismay) and gave him a look that said, "Spit it out." But he simply walked past her to his room, closed and locked the door behind him, deposited the supplies he didn't need, and gathered the ones he did. He decided that salt water would help his enemies a little more than he wanted, so he would go to the pond just on the edge of town. He muttered a simple spell under his breath and was gone, leaving only a small pile of Egyptian desert sand on the floor of his bedroom.
The small boy skipping stones by the pond never noticed the small rustle in the brush as P. Seto appeared. The child soon heard his "mother's" voice from far away in the distance, and left his stones at once.
He had brought materials for a bonfire; he had heard that it was more effective if one collected those two elements simultaneously. He drew the markings on the ground and lit the fire beside the lake. He said the incantations and as he finished, the fire and water flew into the air.
It was a indescribable sight. The water was on fire. The two elements spiraled together, and P. Seto was amazed that they didn't just become steam. When the tower reached its peak, it was as if it had hit a ceiling. The energies split off in all directions and fell, still not canceling each other out. It was like a fountain, until it regrouped and aimed itself at the young priest on the ground. The force of the elements knocked P. Seto to the ground. He felt something hard and sharp hit the back of his head for a split second, and then someone turned the lights off.
His head hurt. That was all he could feel for a few moments— well, he knew they were moments, but they felt like hours to his poor injured head. He made a few moaning sounds as he tried to lift his 1000-pound eyelids. When his eyes were finally open, he realized that he was in his bed in the Kaiba Mansion, that Ally was standing over him, and that she was pretty pissed. "Thanks for clueing me in, P. Seto..." Her voice dripped sarcasm. "Be glad I know your ways well enough to follow you and clean up your mess."
It was then that it hit him. She had taken away his powers!!!!

Well, there ya have it. My chapters are usually quite short because I wrote them in a spiral notebook, making sure they only take up the front and back of one page. The chapters of this story will be "same characters, different plot" kind of things. I have other chapters of other stories that are more "same plot, different POVs," but I'm not putting those up until I've got the chapters on here that I've written. Anyway, enough pointless babbling. Reviews, not threats, are appreciated! Just kidding just kidding don't hurt me!!!!
