Last time on TSFTK.........

"Ya, so.........do we continue our matchmaker mission?" Rai asked.

"I think one is enough for today. We'll start back tomorrow." I lied to him. I really wanted to put another couple together, but I had promised myself to research and I had found the perfect book. I couldn't put it off. It wasn't like the Black Ninjas were taking a break.

"Sure, no problem. The guys and I were gonna try out the beyblade dish that's outside if you don't mind."

"Sure! It's one of my favourite dishes, so be careful and don't scratch it!" I playfully warned him. He laughed as he strolled off to find the rest of the guys before he went to get Zeo. Maybe Shina and Zeo would have stopped making out by that time or it was going to be too funny.

I laughed at the thought as I walked in the empty hallway to the library. My shoes echoed as they met the marble floor. I reached the library doors. I pulled open the door and quietly slipped in. Hopefully I wouldn't be disturbed for the rest of the time being.

Now, where was that book?


Chapter 11: The Four Sacred Spirits

Jun's POV

I quietly slipped into the library unnoticed by anyone and made my way to the back. I really felt bad lying to Rai, but it was for his own good. I really didn't want him to get involved with the Black Ninjas, plus I really needed to do some research, no matter how much I didn't want to. I mean, I would have rather been stuck in a room with the Black Ninjas than do research? Now that must of meant something?

Well, I picked up the book I had found before Rai had interrupted me, and made my way to the couches that resided in the middle of the library. 'Ancient beasts.........what a weird title for a book' I thought as I opened the book up.

Upon opening it, I quickly came to the conclusion that this must have been one of the oldest books in the library. The ink was faded and the pages were crumpled and yellow with age. I sunk myself in one of the black leather couches and turned on the nearby lamp to see the pages better.

I casually flipped to the first page entitled 'Ancient beasts' just like the book. Ya, like I really didn't know what the book's name was? Seriously, they believed people were that idiotic or what? I blew away a few strands of hair that had come out of my bun from my face. Sometimes I felt like cutting all my hair off on days as hot as these, and the stuffy library wasn't helping much.

I turned towards the first section of the book that talked about various legends that existed 5000 years ago and another section on creation myths.

I came upon one creation that had me laughing for a full ten minutes, seriously! It talked about how first there was space that had a cold area covered in ice and another that was hot with lava and stuff. One day the hot area met the cold area and a man was made! HA! Then, a cow started licking the ice and uncovered another man. Then some other stuff happened with Gods and stuff, but all I wanted to know was where the hell the cow came from. I mean, no life was created back then, so where the hell did the cow come from? Seriously, some things are so weird.

By this time, I was just about to give up on the book when I reached the last section. The first page I encountered was entitled 'The Prophecy.' Yep, it was 'The Prophecy,' but did that mean that there were fake prophecies? I knew it was a lame joke, but you had to give me credit! I had been reading this book for like four hours. This thing was huge! Anyways, when I read this prophecy, my initial reaction was 'HELL NO!' That and I wanted to burn the book. It really gave me the creeps.

The faded black ink was hard to see, but it was still readable. I mumbled the prophecy out loud once more, trying to commit it to memory.

"A dragon............

A phoenix...........

A tiger...............

A turtle...............

Four animals, four spirits, four sacred beasts that bring harmony across land

If used by good, all will live in peace.........

If used by evil, all will despair and perish.........

With goodness, leads to prosperity

With darkness, leads to hell and death to nature

Four sacred spirits, four powerful beasts will disappear never to be seen until hundreds of years later when their true masters arise

However, there will be those that will try to steal the sacred four away from their true master.........

One.........

One Guardian that they follow.........

One Guardian that holds their power.........

One Guardian that rules all four.........

The Dragon.........

The Phoenix.........

The Tiger............

The Turtle...........

One true keeper that holds the Guardian

If taken away from its keeper, chaos will follow and He shall hold the Four sacred powers

One keeper.........

One Guardian.........

Four sacred beasts.........

Four true masters.........

All in goodness.........

But evil is always near.........

Their fate is yet to be sealed."

Freaky, I know! Goosebumps lined my arms. This was what the Black Ninjas were talking about! I was sure of it. The four sacred beasts, the four sacred bit beasts. However, that meant, according to the Black Ninjas, that my brother and the rest of the Bladebreakers' bit beasts were the four sacred bit beasts. Man, they had to be strong bit beasts if the Black Ninjas wanted them. What was I going to do? If the Black Ninjas got their hands on the bit beasts, they could do some serious damage.

Oh my God! What about this Guardian? If what the prophecy said was true, then the Guardian held the power of all four sacred beasts. From the prophecy, if someone bad, like the Black Ninjas, were in possession of the Guardian, then they could use it for evil purposes, not to mention control the four sacred bit beasts. This scheme with the Black Ninjas and the Guardian just smelled of world domination. Another attempt to take over the world? Seriously, don't they get tired to losing all the time?

Jokes aside, I knew this was serious issue. If I wanted to stop the Black Ninjas, I had to stop them from getting the four sacred bit beasts and locate who the Guardian and the keeper were. I tried to remember the conversation I had with the Black Ninjas, before our fight started.

FLASHBACK

"What do you want?" Jun said without emotion. She looked at all four of them individually before she settled her eyes on the one in front of her, Yang.

"Well, we just want to know some information!" Yang drew out.

"Information?" Jun asked unbelievably.

"Yes, we know about the Bladebreakers and how the captain is your brother." He sneered at her. If one had looked closely at Jun, they would have seen her eyes widening, but she kept her mask of devoid emotion, which she had learned from her brother. She tried not to let her fears out. She hoped that they weren't going to target her brother and his friends just because of her and Team Celestia. She was going to respond about not hurting them when she was interrupted.

"Don't even tell us not to hurt them or go after them!" Barked Nigel as he glared at her.

"And why not? What are you going to accomplish if you go after them? Your problem is with Team Celestia, not the Bladebreakers." She yelled, her blue-grey eyes engulfed in rage. A loud malicious laugh rang out in the darkened night. Jun had forgotten how late it was and the sun had already set by now.

"You think this is about you and your pesky team? Well think again Jun! This is about the bit beasts your brother's team carries as well as them knowing the location of the Guardian or even the Keeper of the Guardian." Yang's voice bellowed out into the night. Jun hid her puzzled and surprised look from the news. She never knew her brother's team had bit beasts too, but what confused her was this talk about the Keeper and the Guardian. She felt like she should know this, but didn't. Unsuspected to all around Jun and even herself, her necklace glowed a light blue under her clothes and her blade gave a pulse in her jean jacket that she had worn to keep the wind away from her bare shoulders.

"Tell us what we want to know!" Yin said to Jun.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Jun stated

"Don't lie!" Mel shouted as she stepped forward. Jun settled her grocery bag down beside her and turned around to step up to Mel.

"I'm not lying." Jun drew out.

"Well, if you aren't going to tell us nicely, we could always use force." Mel said with delight.

"For the last time, I don't know what you are talking about!"

END FLASHBACK

Well after, Mel slapped me and that was when it got ugly. No one dared to slap JUN!

So, the Bladebreakers knew who the Guardian and the Keeper were? Now, how could I get them to tell me without acting suspicious? I was getting a headache from all this thinking. If I full out ask them, of course they are going to get suspicious and if I discreetly ask them, they still will be suspicious. Who would ask if they had ever heard of the Guardian? Not only that, but who was this 'He' guy?

"If taken away from its keeper, chaos will follow and He shall hold the Four sacred powers........." I mumbled out. I guessed that it was a guy who wanted to take the Guardian from the keeper and if he succeeded then it wasn't going to be paradise! Who was 'He'? Was the Prophecy talking about Yang, the leader of the Black Ninjas, or were the Black Ninjas working for someone else. I thought four sacred bit beasts would be enough to satisfy the Black Ninjas! So, there must be a guy who they were taking orders from and this guy wanted the Guardian's powers. But why would the Black Ninjas be doing this when this guy could turn on them, using the Guardian to take the powers of the sacred bit beasts away? However, they would follow along if they didn't know the full extent of the Guardian's power! This guy was so sneaky. Well, now not only did I have to find the keeper and the Guardian and stop the Black Ninjas, but I also had to find this sneaky guy and stop him too. Where was the justice in that?

I looked at the grandfather clock across from me and noticed that it was already 10 at night. Damn! Six hours already. Wait a minute; that meant that I had been thinking for two hours! Aw man, I really suck! What a great way to spend your evening, right? I even skipped dinner, but I guessed the others knew I was busy.

I decided to call it a day and slipped the book back into its rightful place. I walked to the kitchen to get myself a midnight snack.........um, a ten at night snack, ya, that was what I meant.

I flipped on the lights and got the biggest scare of my life. There was my brother sitting on the breakfast table in the kitchen staring at me. Now I knew how the guys felt when Kai made a joke at the tournament. From the look on my dear brother's face, you wouldn't be able to tell that he ever told a joke.

"You almost gave me a heart attack you idiot," I hissed out at him. He just shook his head as I went to the cupboard and took a box of cookies out and then a glass of milk from the fridge.

'Yum, chocolate chip cookies and cold milk,' I thought as I sat down across from him and began munching on my snack.

"That's not a very nutritious dinner!" Kai commented, an eyebrow quirked up in amusement. I scowled at him and went on ignoring him.

"Jun?"

"Kai?"

"Jun, why did you skip dinner?" He asked me.

"I got into reading," I answered back. He gave a snort and looked away.

"Whatever," he mumbled.

"Awwwwwwww. Was my broder concerned for his wittle sishter?" I said in a babyish voice. He mumbled something and turned away. I laughed as he glared at the floor because he didn't want to admit he was concerned.

"You know the floor isn't gong to flinch away from your glare," I teased him. He looked at me and then laughed at my comment. Pretty soon, we both were laughing.

"I really missed you Junney," my brother told me.

"I missed you too," I told him. I really missed these sibling conversations that we used to have.

"Well, what would I do without you?" Kai asked.

"Obviously, you wouldn't have the courage or the guts to tell Haoma how you truly feel," I whispered to him. He grimaced and I knew he really didn't want to tell her. "Why don't you want to tell her? If you're afraid of rejection, then don't be. She is definitely in love with you. You do love her, right?" I asked my brother, Kai. We sat there in silence for a minute before he answered.

"I do love her. It's just that my life is complicated?" He said softly.

'Does he know about the prophecy. Does he know about the Black Ninjas?' I thought.

"I travel a lot because I still blade and the tournaments are not always in Kyoto. I can't keep her waiting for me all the time when I suddenly decide I have time to visit. Look at me and you. We haven't seen each other in three years."

"Ya, but you'll always be my brother no matter what and Haoma will always be waiting for you, no matter how long it takes, even if you don't tell her that you love her."

"Why?"

"Duh! Do I have a moron for a brother or what? She LOVES you. You can't switch a button and love stops. It's there. She really cares about you, Kai. I know you two are meant for one another."

"Were you always this meddling in my love life," He teased me.

"What love life?" I teased back.

"What about your love life? Do you have a guy that you like?" I gulped at his stern voice. Well, I really can't tell him I like one of his friends. Plus, I did promise myself that I would stop pursuing Rai, since I didn't want him involved in this investigation of mine.

"Nope!" I told him. Luckily for me he believed me. Now for the question!

"Hey Kai, ever heard anything about the Guardian?" I asked him.

"Guardian? No. Why do you ask?" He definitely wasn't lying to me, since I could always tell when people lie; they blink a lot and don't look you in the eye.

"Oh, I was reading one of Gramps' books and it came up. I was wondering if you knew since you always liked it when Gramps told you historic tales when you were little." I flat out lied.

"Oh, well no. I'm gonna go to bed. You better be going to bed too."

"Ya, ya. I wouldn't want to worry my brother, now would I?" I laughed out as he walked out of the kitchen.

After I was finished with my snack, I cleaned up and left to go to bed, planning a way to find the Black Ninjas.
