"Talking"

'Sarcasm'

Chapter 4

(Normal POV)

After everyone calmed down from the little 'incident', they all gathered in the living room to formally introduce Wolves to everyone. Yoh would've been there but Anna won't give him a break from his training.

Anna is still mad that the 'incident' prevented her from watching the ending of the episode of Days of Our Lives, so she said in a monotone, "Everyone, this is Wolves and she's here to stay. Wolves introduce yourself."

Wolves stood up and took a bow. "Hai. My name is Wolves Hiwatari (haha! I love Kai!). This is Iik, my twin brother and this is Devilon, my second guardian ghost," she said, pointing to them. "Any questions?" She looked around and saw that everyone, except Anna and Ren, had his or her hand up. Since Lyserg had been the one she talked to for the longest, she decided to choose him.

He lowered his hand and asked, "Where are you from? And how did you end up here?"

Wolves smile slightly, not those evil smiles, but more like those glad-someone-cares smile. "You see, I was born Hong Kong. My mother is from England and my father is from France. That's why Iik looks like mime. That or just because he's dead…Anyway, I came to Tokyo because my mother always loved Tokyo, said the view was beautiful. So I decided to fulfill her uncompleted dream for her."

She can see Horo waving his hand like crazy so to bring Ren out of his misery / annoyance, she pointed to him. "Can you cook?" he said innocently. Wolves couldn't help but giggle at his childish side. He was funny! Trying to ignore it, she say sweetly like mothers will to a child, "Yup, I can cook. Just ask Iik. I cooked for him MILLIONS of times, when he was still alive that is."

The crowd turned their gaze to Iik, who simply nodded and said, "Yup! She can beat those iron chefs any day."

Wolves blush slightly upon hearing her brother compliment you. In the crowd, she saw a man about a few years older than the rest of them with a really weird hairstyle. She asks for his name and his question. "I'm Ryo and I have 2 questions. First, what shampoo do you use? Your hair is the shiniest hair I've ever seen."

Without flinching, like she's used to weird people, she calmly reply, "Um, I use Garnier. For gel, I'd recommend Garnier's psst gel."

"As for my second question," he walks up to her, and gets down on his knee, "Will you be my girl?" Before she can reject him politely, Iik stepped in between and said curtly, "In your dreams," then pulls out Wolves's sword, "Or your nightmare."

Next, Wolves turns towards a boy with a really big Afro and asked for his name. "I'm ChocoLove but you can call me…" he was interrupted by Ren's Kwan Dao. "Don't even think about making that same joke again!"

…What just happened? Wolves asks herself, but decided to let it slide. Good friends are hard to find and she doesn't want to lose these. "So, ChocoLove, what was your question?"

He seems to recover quickly from Ren's assaults. "Do you like jokes?"

Wolves smiled in a matter-of-fact way. Just when she was going to say: Of course! I love jokes, Horo appeared behind ChocoLove and shook his head violently. Confused, Wolves decided it's best to follow Horo's advice but she didn't want to be rude, so instead, she said, "I think jokes are alright, just not too much."

Horo relaxed and took his seat. Impressed with your communicating skills, Ren decided to ask a question, "What happen to your brother?"

Wolves was slightly taken back by that question, probably because she just met them and they have all these questions already, but she decided they were trustworthy so she should tell them the truth.

"Iik died half a year ago when our house in Paris was attack by a strange boy. He claimed to be a powerful shaman who will someday rule the world. He wanted my brother's help. Not Iik, Edmond."

At this point, Iik put one of his hands on your shoulder to encourage you to continue, "It all happened like this:

FLASHBACK (told by Wolves aka Wolves's POV)

We were a family of almost all shamans. Edmond was our older brother. He was 5 years older than we were but the age difference didn't stop him from being overprotective of the two of us.

So when the strange shaman boy said he'd hurt us if Edmond didn't help him, Edmond was about to go with him. But the two of us and our mother stepped forward and told Edmond we'd rather die than have him go to the evil side. The four of us put up a great fight, but obviously not good enough. Edmond constantly had to block attacks for us. Then the time came when my mother and I ran out of furyoku, leaving Iik and Edmond the only ones 'standing'.

The outcome was obvious, but the boy didn't show any mercy, instead, he threw an attack at me. Edmond took the attack for me, and he died, taking just one attack from the boy. His last words were for us to stay strong and that he didn't die so we could die with him.

So the 3 of us, weak and out of energy defended us the best we can. But that wasn't enough, for he aimed another attack at me. My mother came from nowhere and intercepted the attack. That only leaves two 13 year olds to defend for themselves. I wanted to leave but Iik insisted to stay. He didn't want to leave their bodies there. So we defended our home. The boy obviously saw that I was Iik's weakness for I had no furyoku left. Thus he aimed yet another attack at me. Iik, being my protective, older-than-me-by-2-minutes brother jumped in front of me. I broke down. I couldn't take it. I lost my entire family in one mere hour. Before I knew it, I past out. When I woke up, I was in the hospital and Iik was by my side. And I thought he was still alive.

END OF FLASHBACK

(Iik's POV)

Wolves finished up byputting on fake smile. It's not those fake-fake ones; more like it's not from the heart ones.

Ren must have not seen the smile or interpreted it wrong because he used his signature tone and said, "Well, you were a mighty good family. You only hung on for an hour?"

To normal people, they would've just ignored it but that hour meant everything to my little sister. She lost it and started shouting at him, "WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW? YOU NEVER LOST SOMEONE AS CARING AND PROTECTIVE AS EDMOND IN YOUR LIFE! EDMOND MEANT EVERYTHING TO OUR FAMILY! HE WAS THE ONE WHO MADE THE MONEY, HE WAS THE ONE WHO MADE SURE WE WERE HAPPY AS WE WERE, HE WAS THE ONE WHO GOT RID OF THE BULLIES THAT TRIED TO KILL ME! WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW?" Without saying another word, she run out of the room and into the backyard, where Yoh had just left empty.

I simply shook my head at Ren and sighed. "Stupid, stupid."

Ren heard me and shot up. "Who are you calling stupid? I wasn't the one who got killed by one shot!"

But my emotion didn't even twitched, "You can insult me all you want, because I'm ready dead. The reason I'm still here is because Edmond made me swear Wolves will be okay. Dying didn't help at all." I swooped next to Ren and patted him on the shoulders. "What you experienced earlier today was only half of Wolves's true power or furyoku. And don't forget, she's still in training. I wish you good luck. Not many can insult Edmond and live to tell it. As Anna already knows, or others can tell, a normal shaman wouldn't be able to cause that ring of fire. A normal shaman would have just sliced you in half. Wolves is an Elementist,"

Seeing the confused look on many faces (including Horo! XD) I explained, "Meaning she can control the 5 elements: fire, water, thunder, earth, and wind. But Wolves focused on fire and water mostly. She may not have mastered it yet, but considering the time it took her to get this far, she's a genius. Normally, it'll take a whole year to get to her level. She only used 5 months. On first month after that day, she couldn't talk. No, a more psychological way of saying it is that she didn't want to talk. She was having a mental war. They were so sure that she'd never be normal again. The incidence changed her completely. She used to be those girls that would wear cute pink tops with mini skirts. Look at her now, one word: punk. Doctors say she did this so she would be parted from others. She's building a wall. She didn't want to be hurt again."

I wandered around the room while talking about Wolves's condition. "But the biggest change is her health. Each time her body temperature reaches higher than 36.5 degrees, she'd get horrible headaches and get dizzy, get all grumpy & lose concentration easily. If the temperature rises even more, she'd get a fever. Fevers mean a lot in to her. A simple fever can kill her if not tended to properly. And her heart, she was born was a weak heart to begin with. After that day, her heart weakened even more. Every time after big fight, she'd faint and it takes days for her to recover. That's her real story, so who's gonna run after my little sister before she decides to kill us all?"

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO! Another cliffy!…well not really but it's kinda like a chiffy! Sorry for the long Chappi! But I'm so proud of myself…this chappie was FIVE WHOLE PAGES! Just trying to explain her past…I know Ren seems very mean in this chappi,…I'll try to explain more next chappi! REVIEW!
