Chapter 2; Master revealed

"Alright Dark let's get that stone then get out of here this place gives me the creeps." "I agree." Slowly Dark did his evasion work then headed for the stone and grinned, "Tonight your mine!"

"Satoshi?" "Yes?" "I ask for permission to enforce all necessary means to protect the stone," She said this in voice more quiet then usual making Satoshi look up fro his homework. "Why?" Looking at him she replied, "Because it's mine. My full name is Anna Teari." Nodding he spoke quietly, "Well if it already belongs to you then there's no need to ask my permission to protect it." Grinning, her small little grin, she took off towards the museum, the resting place of her only possession on any meaning. The Gemstone of the Elements. Upon her arrival Dark was preparing to steal the stone. Looking closely threw the dark she noticed the black feather he held. 'He plans to put a spell on the stone to steal it! Ha like that'll work! It'll take more then that little spell to stop even one element!' It took all her self control not to laugh aloud. Then just before she stepped into the light she felt a presence besides her, sniffing she smelt a familiar scent. Risa Harada was standing next to her in the shadows. Almost as if reading her thoughts Dark looked around but thanks to Anna's spell he missed both her and Risa, who had been trapped in the spell as well. Finally, just before he tried the spell she stepped into the light and said quietly, "I wouldn't do that if I were you." Surprised Dark jumped and his head snapped around, "And why not?" He asked stepping closer to her. "Unless you want to light on fire again and scare the human in the corner by the window I suggest you listen carefully to what I have to say," she hissed. "Alright then what is it you have to say?" "the spell you were going to try will not help that stone is much to powerful to be contained by anyone and every time you touch it your body heat awakens one of the elements contained within the gemstone. Her name is Carna and she's the spirit of the fire element. Your body gives off heat allowing her to awaken and trust me she's not the friendliest of the spirits. Now if you are willing to part with the stone I have something I'm willing to trade with you for it. It's a medallion that will allow you to become invisible for at least ten minutes at a time. It works for I used it not three days ago." "Really? Now you have my attention. Where shall we meet to make this trade?" "We cannot make it in public so meet me at that little café in the villa. It's called Lilly's and from there we will walk to decide where to conduct our business." "Alright then I'll meet you there at noon tomorrow…church in the morning so I'm slightly busy." "Not to worry I worship Sunday mornings as well so indeed you chose well…now shall I get the stone for you?" "What about what you said about body heat?" She shrugged, "I don't give off any. It's the way I am. Like you this place is not where I belong but my master is here therefore I'm inclined to stay put." "Can I ask you a question?" she looked suspicious, "that depends on the question." "Who is your master?" "Hmm. Well I suppose I could tell you but this is our little secret… open you mind and drop your barriers." "Why?" He asked alarmed. "One I believe your tamer wished to know as well and two the human is not allowed to know." "Oh alright then…ready." Gently she entered his mind but stayed away from his memories. 'How'd you do that?' She chuckled, 'It is within my power to decide what I see in other's minds now Daisuke Dark you both wanted to know who my master was so here is your answer. My master is Satoshi. I believe you guessed that and it is the truth but only recently did he become my master. It was his birthday and came of age. His mother made his father take care of me till her son was old enough to know what he was getting into and only less then a week ago did he so he still has no idea what I'm capable of.' 'Wait that would mean Krad is also your master wouldn't it?' 'NO! NEVER! Only Satoshi has the power to control me Krad has no rights to me. Now let us go back that we might all leave.' 'Alright.'

"Wow!" "Yes now here's the stone and remember tomorrow at Lilly's." "I won't forget." After he'd left Anna turned around, "Risa I know you're there so come out." "How'd you know?" "You breathe rather loudly to one with my hearing." "Oh. Are you going to turn me in?" "No but there are guards coming so we'd better leave. Oh and Risa?" "Yes?" "Keep all that happened hear to yourself! You may tell Riku but her alone and she too must promise not to tell." "Okay but let's go!"

"Thanks Anna! Would you like to hang out with me and my friends this week?" "Thank you I just night but not on Friday…It's a special day for which I must hang out with a friend of close stature." "Oh okay well thanks again see you later!" "Indeed," Anna chuckled. 'She has no idea I just told her who my master was!' She thought carefully until she arrived back at the house, "Well?" Satoshi asked her. "I have an engagement tomorrow afternoon may I be excused?" "Yes you may. See you in the morning." "Master?" "Anna?" "Do not disturb me tonight for it is a night of rest I used to much energy and must sleep." "Alright till tomorrow then."
