Never-Ending Sadness
Chapter 8
Confessions
I turned left and walked through the door without knocking,
"Hello?" I called,
"In here," came someone's reply, as I walked through the door I saw Anna in the living room laying on the couch with a magazine in her hand, she got up and put it down on the table.
"So you finally came back? I thought you would so I sent Yoh and Morty out to do some training."
I sat down on the armchair and looked at the ground, "So you told them to stay away from me? Guess you want me to leave huh? Don't worry; I'll be gone by nightfall."
She walked up to me and sat sown on the floor next to the chair,
"No," she said,
"I don't want you to leave… stay and we can help you, just because your different doesn't mean your bad."
"Sorry, I've learned not to trust humans, even those who seem kind are not, things aren't always what they appear to be."
My tone was harsh and cold.
"Exactly, at the moment you seem like someone with extremely strong powers and get angry a lot, but that's not really you… is it?"
"No, I don't usually get upset easily," my eyes stayed fixed on my feet.
"Do you want to answer my questions now, or later when the others are home?"
Man this is one tough cookie! I found myself thinking.
"I heard that!" She snapped, "Well?"
"...Now... I guess..."
"Good. You can start by what really happened that night when the power blew."
I felt so uneasy it was hard to believe; the tension in the air was so thick you could cut it with a knife.
"Well... Ya see... The gloves you gave me... They didn't work,"
"What do you mean they didn't work?"
"I mean that my gloves are specially made for me, to help me control my powers,"
"How so?"
"The knuckles have spikes, and in the spikes there's a special chip that commits a small amount of energy when I get angry or sad, my powers are tuned in to my emotions, if I get angry or upset they can get out of hand."
"Like they did that night?" She listened to my every word.
"Yes,"
"Ah, I see, the gloves I got you didn't have the special chip-things so when you felt pain your powers just surged."
"Yeah, but that was only a very small amount of energy, trust me, you don't want to see my powers in full force."
"Maybe not, but what if you can learn to control your emotions and get stronger? Would that help?"
"Possibly," I was beginning to think that there was some good in these people yet, "the increase in strength would help, and if I learnt to control my emotions I wouldn't have to rely on my gloves to much."
"Good, now that that's sorted, on to the next question."
"There's more?" I asked, more out of cockiness than surprise.
"Yes, now, what can you actually do with your powers?"
I thought for a moment, then said, "You won't believe me even if I told you."
"Try me." She was calm still, which made me feel even more uneasy.
"Well… I can levitate objects such as people... Cars... Small boats... Stuff like that, and can teleport... Sort of... Its moving really fast so it looks like teleportation, only its not."
"Anything else?"
"No," I quickly answered, "that's it."
"You sure? I can always read your mind for answers ya know."
"No! There's no more… and I can see you don't believe me about my powers so I'm just going to pack now!"
I stood up and turned towards the door, I hadn't moved one foot when she stopped me.
"Sit back down! And I do believe you, non-shamans don't believe in the spirit world or anything else but us shamans and spirit mediums do believe."
"And your point is?"
"The point is that we can easily believe in something different than us!"
Anna raised her voice as I slowly sat back down.
When she was calmer she spoke with a less sharper tone.
"'K, last question."
"Why am I not surprised?"
The next question she asked with caution and carefulness.
"Where did you get those scars?"
At that question my heart sank, I was expecting the 'what are your powers' bit but not this, this question I couldn't answer.
"I think you've gone too far with the questioning, I'd like you to stop here."
"Very well, maybe once you've learned you can trust us then you'll tell, speaking of telling, want me to tell Yoh and the others?"
"NO! No you can't tell them! They wouldn't understand!"
Panic covered my voice.
"Alright then, but just for you to know, I think they would."
With that she walked out of the room and into the kitchen once more.
I sighed as she left and flopped onto the chair.
"Your training starts tomorrow," she called.
"Yeah," I called back to let her know I had heard her, how hard can the training be? I thought to myself.
"Very hard!" Yelled the voice from the kitchen.
"Quit reading my mind!" I shouted to her, she seemed to get the message and was quiet.
The whole 'I can read your mind' thing was really starting to bug me, it was like she could see into my world and unlock its darkest secrets without my knowing.
But maybe I can trust them, maybe there is hope for me after all, just maybe, I can trust these humans, and let them know my secrets and keep them safe.
The voice, who I strangely christened Comfort for obvious reasons, was gone for now, but I had a feeling that Comfort was more than she seemed, for whenever I needed my guardian for advice, Comfort was always there.

A/N: So, like it? I know some of you will be a bit unsure about the whole 'Shinzo having powers' thing, but don't worry, he doesn't really know how to use them much, he's still an ickle kiddy-wink! ::huggles poor ickle Shinzo:: He doesn't really learn the full extent of his powers until he's a teenager… And even then he doesn't fully understand them, lol. So, R&R PLEASE!!!
