Chapter 1, a magical touch
Tyson Granger had grown up without any memories before the age of six and with constant colouring of his hair and a lot of pills that was supposedly for his "allergies". He hated his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Granger, and he refused to call them mom and dad. He referred to them as James and Miranda. At age of 14, Tyson had refused to colour his hair again, he wanted to have his normal hair colour, and his parents didn't want to force him, they seemed scared of him, so they let him grow his hair out. He still had to take the pills, and since they were for his allergies, he did not complain about it.
At this very moment, Tyson, 16 years old, was lying on his bed crying. He hated to hear people yell and argue, and that's what his parents were doing. He couldn't hear all of it, only some. 'What? You want us to move back there? what if…' 'The time is soon here, there is just two months!' Tyson was angry and confused, in two months? His birthday was in two months. And why did they have move? They had told him a week ago, and they were moving tomorrow, his parents had been arguing about it all week. Tyson was so very tired of hearing them yell at each other about it, whatever it was that was going to happen, he didn't care.
The next day, as Tyson loaded the last box into their car, his mother came up to him. She gave him a quick hug before she got seated in the front seat. Tyson sat down in the back of the car, buckled up, and stared out the window as his father started to drive away from the house they had lived in for the past 10 years.
"Can I have the newspaper?" Tyson asked his father. Tyson's parents looked at each other.
"I'm sorry son; I think we forgot it at the house." Tyson groaned, great, what was he supposed to do now? It wasn't a very long ride with the car, but Tyson was very bored all the same, when he stepped out of the car in the new neighbourhood he had a feeling that he should remember it for some reason.
When all the boxes were loaded into their new house, Tyson went for a walk, anything to get away from his parents. He strolled down the street and found a newspaper lying around; he picked it up and read the headline. 'Two months until Takao Kinomiya's birthday, and still no signs of the boy.' Tyson sighed, they had read about him in school. Poor kid, Tyson thought, kidnapped at six, what a horrible life he must be living.
Kai Hiwatari stepped out from his dojo; he had become much stronger and very tall during the 10 years that had passed. His face was cold and indifference and he had two blue shark fins on each of his cheeks. He had found an old drawing that he and Takao had made, and in it were both of them wearing these shark fins. So Kai started to use blue face paint and painted them on his cheeks, if only to feel closer to his lost friend.
Kai sighed and sat down on the pavement outside his house, by the Kinomiya dojo next door stood a boy. He was about Kai's age and he had long midnight blue hair. The boy was reading the newspaper. Kai's heart started to beat faster, that boy reminded him so much of Takao. Then he heard a yell from a house down the street, "Tyson!" A woman's voice shouted, the blue haired boy turned his head, sighed, put down the newspaper and started walking down the road towards the woman and the other house.
Kai sighed, he must be going nut; he saw Takao everywhere. He just missed him so much, he was the best friend Kai could ever wish for… and when he disappeared, he took a large bit of Kai's heart with him. Kai just hoped that wherever Takao was; that he was alright and that he remembered him.
Tyson sighed as he walked towards his mother, he hated that woman, but she was his mother and he had to do as she said. After a short conversation with his mother, Tyson went into his room and started to unpack his things. Miranda had told him that he was starting school tomorrow already, he had gotten a note which he was supposed to leave to the principle and then he would sort everything out. Tyson looked around in the grey room which was apparently, his now. It didn't take long for Tyson to unpack, he didn't have much stuff.
When the unpacking was done, Tyson lay down on his newly made bed; his hand reached under his t-shirt and pulled up his little amulet. He had always wondered why it said 'Kai' on the backside when is name obviously was Tyson. He had asked James and Miranda once, but they had said that his grandfather's name had been Kai and that he had inherited the amulet from him. It wasn't all too suspicious, so Tyson chose to believe it.
The next day, Tyson was walking towards his new school. For some reason he felt happy to leave his old school, he hadn't liked it there. He wasn't sure why though; it just felt like it was missing something. He had always had that feeling while growing up, as if he was missing something or someone that had been important to him.
Tyson stood and stared in chock at his new school, it was huge. He hurried down a hall and soon found the principle's office. The principal let him into his office.
"Now," the principal said, "my name is Mr. Tokimoya, and I'm this schools principal. We have certain rules here at this prestigious school. First of all, no slang words like 'dude' or 'yo' are accepted, second, no caps or hats inside, third, no piercing or any tattoo's that are visible." The principal came with a lot of rules; however, Tyson didn't really pay much attention to either of them.
He left the office, now with his arms full of books and a schedule on top of the pile of books. He had gotten a key to a locker with wasn't hard to fins since it had a huge note on it saying: "Tyson Granger" What could possibly be worse then getting pointed out like that? It didn't take long for him to get all of his books into the locker and then he grabbed the math books to go and search for his first lesson.
He walked down the large hall which was filled with students, after awhile, he bumped into someone who let out a shriek and fell to the floor. Tyson turned his head and looked at the brown haired girl he had knocked over. She was sitting on the floor trying to assemble her papers. Tyson sat down and helped her.
"I'm so sorry," he said. "I really should have paid attention." The girl blushed slightly and said quickly while shaking her head so hard that Tyson was afraid that she'd get a whiplash injury or something.
"Oh no, it was my fault." They stood up, Tyson smiled towards the girl.
"I'm Tyson Granger, I just moved here," he reached out his hand. The girl took it.
"I'm Hilary Tatibana, (1) nice to meet you." She shook his hand.
"Likewise," Tyson smiled again. 'Nice girl', he thought. The girl smiled back.
"What sort of lesson do you have? I've got math with Mrs. Tarkio." Tyson checked his schedule, and then he said:
"So do I, wanna have company to it? I sure don't know the way." The girl nodded her head wildly and then a bell rang, Hilary grabbed Tyson's wrist and dragged him towards the right classroom.
Once they arrived, Tyson gave the teacher the note about him being new, she smiled and assorted him a seat next to a guy with rather strange hair. It had two colours! He noted that Hilary was sitting behind him. The guy with the odd hair looked at him, their eyes met and weird electricity suddenly pulsed quickly through Tyson's veins, he quickly turned his eyes forward and the electricity disappeared.
The lesson ended without anything weird happening (Tyson ignored the guy to his right) and after that he had Japanese, which was a boring and uneventful lesson. After that, he had another lesson with Hilary, it was history and he was about to fall asleep. Next was lunch, Hilary and Tyson left the classroom together.
"Wanna have lunch with me and my friends? I'll introduce you." Tyson nodded and he and Hilary went to their lockers and got their lunches. Inside the cafeteria was full movement, except around one table were four guys were seated. A blonde one who was chatting away happily, a black haired one that reminded Tyson of a cat, a nerdy looking one with brown hair, bog glasses and a laptop and then… it was the guy with the weird hair from the math class. Suddenly the blonde's attention turned to Tyson and Hilary and he shouted:
"Over here Hilary!" Hilary grabbed Tyson's wrist (again) and nearly dragged him to the table. Once there she said:
"Guys, this is Tyson, he's new." She pushed him down on one of the left over chairs then she sat down on the other. After that, she started introduce the others.
"The blonde one's name is Max; he's kinda hyper, especially after eating sugar." The blonde waved and Tyson couldn't help but snicker slightly. "The raven haired one is Rei, he's from china and he's a neko-jin!" The raven haired one smiled and nodded. "The brown haired on is Kenny; he's a computer expert, kinda nerdy but real sweet." The once introduced as Kenny smiled nervously. "And last but certainly not least is Kai," she pointed to the dual haired boy. "He's a bit grumpy and doesn't talk much, but he's a good friend and he doesn't scream much." Tyson nodded, Kai only grunted slightly before reaching out his hand towards Tyson.
"Tyson Granger," Tyson said nervously before taking Kai's hand. Their eyes met and suddenly, neither of them could pull away. Their eyes were stuck at each others and electric sparks flowed from their hands through their bodies. The amulet around Kai's neck that belonged to Takao turned ice cold while the one around Tyson's neck which belonged to Kai turned blazingly hot. Tyson's so hot that his blood nearly boiled in his veins while Kai got so cold that his blood nearly froze in his veins.
"Guys?" Hilary's voice was unsteady, the two guys were sitting there, holding each others hand and staring into each others eyes and none of them even as much as blinked. Rei and Max looked confused at what was happening, they could almost feel the magical field around the two. Hilary reached out her hand, and as soon as it touched the two boys' a powerful electric wave threw each of the three in one direction.
The cafeteria turned dead silent, everyone's eyes were on the three. Tyson was shaking slightly, his body was hot anymore but the amulet was still, only the heat had started to pulsate, almost as if it was alive. Hilary stood up; her legs were shaking as she took her chair and sat down at the table staring at her hands which she kept in her lap. Kai raised to his feet's, the icy cold feeling of the amulet around his neck had started to pulsate and he felt weird. Before anyone could stop him, he had left the cafeteria without a word. Tyson stood up, he was still shaking and the amulet was burning, he grabbed his chair and sat down by the table again, dead quiet staring at the wall.
After awhile, everything turned normal, Tyson's throat felt dry and his lips likewise. Rei looked at him for awhile then he said with a low voice:
"What happened?" Tyson shrugged and then he tried to explain the weird feeling.
"I don't know, as soon as we made eye contact I just couldn't pull away, it was as if all of my muscles had frozen or turned to stone. Then it felt like electricity came flowing from my hand and I just got blazing hot. It was so weird; I've never experienced anything like it." Rei nodded, this was certainly odd, but he couldn't find any explanation for it.
"Anyways," Rei changed the subject, "Max and I just recently inherited two magical spirits, I got Drigger, the cat and earth elemental while Max here got Draciel the turtle and water elemental. Isn't it cool? Kai inherited Dranzer, the phoenix with the element of fire." Tyson only nodded, so this was THAT Max and Rei that had been in the newspaper. "And… if our friend Takao had been here, then he would have inherited the spirit of Dragoon, the air elemental dragon." Tyson nodded.
"So you guys are the four corners, ne?" He had read about them, every 100 year, one of each corner (north, east, south and west) was born. They inherited the spirits of the elements belonging to these corners. This was a very old thing that kept this world in balance, and if one corner was not found, then complications would come.
"Yeah, which is why everyone's so worried about Takao, if he'd been just another you boy, the no one would have cared after ten years, but if he doesn't show up to the ceremony in two months, then the balance of the world will break." Tyson felt almost sick then thinking about it. He hoped that Takao would be found, there would be troubles otherwise.
The group ate slowly and Tyson picked up his little jar with five pills that his mom always packed with him.
"What's that?" Hilary asked and pointed at the pills.
"Miranda say's that they're for my allergies, but as far as I've noticed, I don't have any. I'm not gonna take them anymore, they make me sleepy and I feel all weird after taking them. I just hope Miranda won't notice." Hilary nodded slightly worried and then she said:
"Who is Miranda?" Tyson sighed bitterly before answering.
"She's my 'mom', but I hate her with the strength of all of hells demons." The group looked oddly at him. Tyson just shrugged and returned to his sandwich.
After lunch Tyson threw the pills away and had a few other classes, Kai was apparently missing and when Tyson went home that day, he felt more confused than ever.
