Chapter 3: Every One Else's Powers, and Some More K.K.
Eiji squirmed in his uniform. "This thing is really uncomfortable… you know…"
Momo laughed. "It's your own fault Hot Head."
"Momoshiro. You're up."
"Bujah!" He decided on Hatred. He looked at Kaoru.
Nothing happened.
"Try doing an action, such as running, jumping or punching," suggested Inui.
Momo smiled. "Punching."
His curled his hand into a fist and threw it at Kaoru, who was looking at a small snake in the grass. WHAM!
"You…" said Kaoru with absolute loathing in his voice.
"Nothing!" said Momo to Inui, stepping away from Kaoru.
"Try jumping."
Kaoru was held back by Shusuke and Momo jumped as high as he could.
As the tennis team watched, astonished, large, feathery wings burst out of Momo's back. They were black and shined slightly blue-purple.
He landed back on they ground and the wings folded and sunk into his back.
Takeshi lay on the ground unconscious, and barely breathing, while the men from the ambulance walked up with a stretcher.
"Poor kid," said one of them lifting him on to it.
Suddenly a raven, a blackbird and a crow landed on to his chest, there was a jolt, and the three birds died from the electricity. Before their eyes they seemed to sink into the young man's chest.
"Fuji! Get up here!"
As Shusuke walked over to Sadaharu; Eiji watched out for the three girls.
"There's Tomo and Sakuno!"
The two girls were walking over to the courts, one with a purposeful stride, and the other with a more timid, shy step.
"Hey ladies!" said Eiji. "Some weird stuff happened with Tezy-kun and most of us have super powers! Weird huh?"
"Wha?" both girls looked confused.
"I'll explain," Eiji led them over to the benches.
It was quickly described along with each's power.
"That's very odd," said Sakuno.
"Not the brightest bulb, are you?" said Eiji, raising an eyebrow. "Sadaharu wants to see if you guys have super powers too. Get relaxed and watch the show."
Shusuke decided on Anger, and simply thought about Hajime.
At Saint Rudolph"Come on Yuta!"
"Hajime," Yuta kicking his legs as they searched for solid ground. "One armed pull-ups are impossible!"
"Wrong! They're just improbable…" Hajime trailed off as the sky darkened.
"That stinks," said Duck-Man, looking up.
Suddenly a huge lighting bolt came out of the sky and struck Hajime.
Back at Seishun"Nada," said Shusuke.
"Try a different emotion."
Shusuke imagined himself re-doing Oishi's hair (Happiness, duh).
"Ah!"
A large lighting bolt hit Oishi and then it began to rain, just on him.
This is scientifically impossible, thought Oishi as he was rained on. Then it stopped.
"Hmm…" Inui pushed his glasses up his nose.
I wonder why it didn't work before, Shusuke smiled. Oh well.
No body saw Fuji for a long time. It began it rain and he wondered why no one had come for him. Every one else had been helped. He'd seen them.
It began to hail as well as rain.
Well this stinks, thought Shusuke. He saw the ambulance heading his way. About time. Slackers.
"Kaoru. Your turn."
Kaoru stood. "Inui. I- I already know what happened to me."
"What was it?" asked Sadaharu.
"I'm…" it took everything he had to saw it. "… Two-thirds snake."
Momo snorted.
"Shut up fool."
The ninth grader told them to shut their Cake-Holes before they could go into their "Wanna fight!" thing.
"How about we explore what you can do with this," Inui whipped out his notebook and pencil.
"What do you want me to do?" said Kaoru, feeling humiliated.
Sadaharu picked up a small grass snake and put it in Kaoru's palm.
"Talk to it," Inui had his suspicions, but he couldn't be sure.
Kaido started describing in great detail a romance novel he was reading in Russian called Love in the Time of Revolution.
"Like I thought."
"What?" Kaoru began to stoke the snake with a finger and thought, Calm down sweetie.
For some reason the snake seemed calmed and began to curl around Kaido's fingers.
"You were talking snake."
They turned to see Yumiko Fuji arrive on the scene.
"Sit down Miss Yumiko. Shusuke will explain," Tezuka looked slightly angered. Why do I have the weenie power? Mine totally stinks next to theirs.
"Tomo. You're up."
"'Kay."
Tomo just went for love and thought about Ryoma.
Nada.
"Actions."
"Do I have to do one of those thuggish ones?"
"Not if you don't want to."
She walked up to Ryoma and kissed him.
All the 8th and 9th graders laughed as Echizen pushed Tomo off.
"What got it into that empty head of yours that made you think that you could kiss me!" Ryoma screamed.
"Well Inui told me that I didn't have to do those thuggish ones!"
Ryoma sat back down and glared at Inui.
Tomo was mad. Ryoma hadn't appreciated her kiss. She felt mad. Her anger coursed through her body.
"Tomo?" Sakuno stood up.
Tomo was completely tense. She held out both of her hands…
Then, out of nowhere, a huge steel pole came out of her hand and flew towards Ryoma.
He pushed his palm towards her.
Suddenly, she (and her pole) got blown back, into a bench.
"Steel and wind," Sadaharu muttered to himself as he scribbled.
Tomo was somewhere between unconsciousness and consciousness. She saw Ryoma seven feet away, the wind blowing through his hair. She realized she was leaning against one of the doors of the SUV. Sakuno was next to her. She felt unconsciousness take over…"Sakuno. Your turn."
Sakuno stood up.
"Now I have a theory," Tezuka spoke this time. "It's going to take everything to ignore all my gentlemanly senses. The doctors mentioned something about you and Tomo being against one of the car doors."
"So?" asked Sakuno.
"I'm going to hit you," she saw Kunimitsu's eye twitch. "I want you to try and catch the punch."
"What?"
"Ready? 3, 2, 1…"
He hurled his fist at her. She screamed and tried to catch it.
"BLEEP!"
"No swearing," said Yumiko.
Sakuno realized she had her eyes closed. Fearfully she opened them.
There was a large steel wall in front of her. As she reached out to touch it and it seemed to fade away.
"Steel," murmured Inui. "Taka!"
Taka stood up.
He kept himself completely tense until…
"Here's a racket," said Oishi. "Kaoru say something cruel."
"So I can die?"
"No. To get him mad."
Kaido muttered to himself, "You just want me to die." Then said, "Taka. I think your mom is butt-ugly."
"Not that mean!" said Oishi.
"YOU'RE GOING DOWN VIPER!" yelled Kawamura.
Kaido screamed (like a little girl) and ducked.
Suddenly he (Kaoru) felt himself get hit in the stomach. He flew over the fence and landed in a tree.
They all looked over. No normal punch could do that. Not even to "Record 95 lbs. WHEN WET" Kaoru Kaido.
Kawamura just lay there. The sky above him seemed so peaceful. It was so perfectly blue. A few stark white clouds floated in the blue beauty. Taka remembered when his uncle had taken him to sea six years ago. Sky and ocean seemed to melt into each other, only one line to set them apart. Like a seam.
"Yumiko," Sadharu called. "You're up."
She stood and walked over.
"Who do you hate the most?" Sadaharu asked conversationally while examining his nails.
"Muzuki."
"Who?" Inui looked up.
"Hajime Muzuki."
"Most Fuji people do. What would you like to do to Hajime?"
"Kill him."
"Imagine yourself murdering him in the most painful and slow way. Like a stab in the stomach."
A smile spread over Yumiko Fuji's face, her eyes had a glazed look to them. And she began to fade before their very eyes…
Yumiko had glass clinging to her whole body. Her body had flown through the windshield. Her hair had glass in it. Her legs had glass in them. It was like having dozens of needles stuck into her body.
"That was creepy to say the least," said Eiji, stretching. "Only one person left." He pointed at Inui. "Come on!"
"Oh, I already know what I can do."
"What?" They all asked in unison.
"Guess," he let a few sparks dance over his fingers.
Allo! Review reply time! I hope you dig this chap!
