The next day I woke up nice and early.

"Ughh...woah, I surely woke up early," I said as I looked at my clock then fell back on my bed.

I stared at the ceiling thinking. Hmm...I wonder...what should I do today?

"Good morning," Kain said rubbing his eyes and yawning.

"Morning..how'd ya sleep?"

"Good and you?"

"Great!"

He smiled and jumped off the bed. "Can I come to school as well?"

"Huh? Come to school? I can't let anyone see you though."

"I know but I just want to explore outside. I promise nobody will see me. Please!" Kain whined.

"Alright...you promise."

I got off the bed and told Kain to get dressed while I took a shower. He nodded and I went inside the bathroom. I took a quick shower and got my clothes on. I got out and Kain was ready. I made sure I had everything in my backpack and put on my shoes. I took the book so I could study it more. I walk through the hallway and saw no sign of anyone. I walk with Kain through the hallway and down the stairs. My brother, Kiyo, was sleeping so it was okay. I got my lunch and left Kiyo a note saying that I left early and headed out the door.

Kain and I ran out the door smelling the fresh air.

"Ahh! It's so great to be outside!" Kain said.

"Yeah I guess so..."

We walked to school and half of the way Kain stopped all of a sudden. We were in a forest which I like to call it 'short cut.'

"Hey. Why'd you stop?" I asked.

He didn't say anything and I looked at him. It looked as if he were freak out.

"Hello?" I waved my hand in front of his face.

"There someone coming..." he said and turned his face.

I looked towards his direction and saw nothing. A few moments later I saw a short boy popped out along with a taller boy. I got surprised and fell.

"Owww..." I said.

The boy and the little kid jumped over Kain and I. We turned around and looked at them soon enough the taller one shouted.

"Ran-na!"

"What?" I questioned and then I was pulled by Kain.

"Move!" He shouted.

He pushed me and we were almost struck by big boulders.

"What in the world?" I said.

I looked toward the taller one and the shorter one. I noticed the taller one had a book just like mine but different color and the shorter one looked like Kain.

"Wh-Who are yo-you? And why did you do th-that?" I asked.

"Hehe...well I want that book of yours and my name is none of your concern." He chuckled.

I looked at him. He had a badboy look. Leather jacket, a pair of earrings on his ear, leather gloves, and tied ponytail. His black hair went real nice with his leather jacket. The shorter guy had brown eyes that went with his dark brown hair and dirty clothes. By the looks of this, the one with the leather jacket didn't take good care of his shorter friend.

"My book? What do you want that for?"

"Oh...just to burned it." He smirked.

"Oh. You aren't going to burn it and you're not gonna take that from me!" I said and stood up.

"Oh really? Then I must do this the hard way.." He took out his book and read the spell.

"Han-rah!" He shouted and then rocks from the sky fell down upon us.

None of got injured but Kain and I fell hard on the floor. I decided to do the same and took out my book. I read the spell.

"Sapparah!"

Soon enough Kain's hand started to glow white and then it shot out so fast that when I blinked it was gone.

"What the---!" the boy said and ran out of the way.

It left a burning mark.

Opps..sorry tree. I wonder what was that...

Kain looked at his hand and then at me. He gave me the WOW-look.

"Alright...no more fun and games! It's serious now!"

Ooo...I think he's getting pissed. I giggled.

"What's so FUNNY? I'll show you. I won't get defeated by a girl and a stupid little boy!" He shouted and screamed, "Teh-ha-rah!"

The ground started to shake and then rocks formed out of the ground.

"What's hap-happening?" I said and the boy smirked.

"Julie!" Kain screamed and we grabbed each others hand.

"Don't let go..." I said and the ground began to split in between us.

It was splitting so much that we had to let go. What do I do now? Kiyo I wish you were here right now..

"Zaa-kirrr!"

"Huh?" I spunned around and guess what. My brother did come.

A bright yellow light shone through the air and then hit the taller one and shorter one. I noticed that it was lightning. Kiyo and Zatch came through after. The taller one got up and looked at the shorter one.

"Oh no. Mitch! The book!"

The shorter one who was called Mitch looked at his book and ran towards it. The book was burning. "NOO! Don't, don't! Ahh..." and he disappeared. The taller one got up and ran. Kiyo and Zatch looked at them and soon my brother spotted me.

"OH MY GOD Julie! I can't believe it's you. How did you get into this mess?"

I looked down and my brother apologized for screaming and he said it again with a quieter tone.

"How did you get into this me---" He stopped and looked down. It was my book.

"How'd you get that bo--" He stopped again and looked at Kain.

"Hmm...I see now. You have a Mamodo." He said.

"Kiyo? He's a Mamodo like me? Can he shoot lightning too?" Zatch said.

I stared at him wide eyed. He was the one who shot lightning?

I stood up and walked to towards the exit of the forest.

"Hey wait a minute. Were you hiding him?" Kiyo asked pointing at Kain.

I nodded and he asked another question, "Why did you bring him?"

I didn't answer him but said, "Come on...Kain."

Kain walked to me and held my hand. We walked to school. My brother, on the other hand, didn't ask anymore questions but thought to ask them afterschool. I wouldn't have mind but it was sure going to be a long day at school. Kain and Zatch went to go play somewhere and Kiyo and I went to our classes. I sighed and sat in my seat and then Suzie came up to me.

"He's in class," I told her.

"Oh..yeah. Sorry," She said. She turned to go out of my classroom and then turned back to me.

"Zatch is somewhere playing with a friend," I said.

"Right...sorry." She turned and left.

Usually everytime she came up to me was either to ask where Kiyo was or where Zatch was. I did kind of feel sad for her but in the end she would always stay happy and never let a smile go to a frown. The teacher came through the door and the room became slient. The day went pretty fast and I was missing Kain a bit. I twirled my pencil and drew Zatch and Kain on my paper.

The bell rang and a bunch of kids rushed out. Kiyo and I met each other outside. We were slient until Zatch and Kain popped out of nowhere.

"AHHH!" Kiyo and I screamed and then said, "I told you not to do that!"

"Hey...it wasn't my idea. It was his." Kain crossed his arms and pointed at Zatch who was smiling.

"Oh Kiyo! I missed you. Kain wouldn't do anything fun..." Zatch said grabbing Kiyo's leg.

"Get off of me!" Kiyo shook his leg.

I looked at Kain and he was still crossing his arms. I smiled and then I started to walk back home. Kain followed but I didn't know what Kiyo and Zatch were doing back there.
