Chapter 5: The Solution
The next day, I found a note in my locker telling me to meet Kiyo on the roof. Okay, so he figured it out, huh? I hurried to the roof and sure enough, Zatch and Kiyo were there. Kanta-kun moved ahead of me protectively.
"Hey, you don't need to do that," Kiyo said. Kanta-kun still didn't move, so Kiyo didn't bother trying. If he pried more, Kanta-kun might've gotten the idea that Kiyo was trying to do something.
"I got your message," I said.
"And I got yours," Kiyo replied. "It took me a while to realize that what you said to Zatch was actually a clue to me, but I got it as I was typing 'Anyone' on the computer for an assignment. I messed up and 'Nayone' came up instead. You were trying to tell me that you're fighting to help the Mamodo and that anyone could be your enemy."
"Good job, Kiyo!" I said, impressed. It was all figured out by a mistake, so it wasn't THAT impressive.
"The other part was pretty easy to figure out—and I'm not your enemy," Kiyo stated. I sighed and nodded.
"Same here," I stated, nodding. Kanta-kun tensed up and suddenly wind burst everywhere. I ducked down low, holding on tight to Kanta-kun. Suddenly, this red-head popped out of nowhere with this kid, which I figured was a Mamodo.
"Hey, what's up?" he said to me. I frowned, taking out my book. He sighed. "No, no, baby, I'm not here to hurt you."
"But I will if I have to."
"Hey, hey… my name's Eido and I'm glad I found you. You wanna be my girlfriend?" he asked. I kicked him, of course. No, not where it hurts, just… in the stomach. Eido frowned and scowled.
"Is that it? Oh well, I'll just have convince you then—"
"AN'KAR!" I shouted, but nothing happened. No animals popped up—OH FUDGE. There WERE no animals nearby that could reach us. I mean, I realized Kanta-kun's powers were the ability to summon animals, so far. I couldn't use my attack here! MAN, what kind of attack was THIS? If I can't use it in a situation like this, then Kanta-kun…
"NOOOOOOOO! I WON'T HAVE IT THAT WAY!" I shouted angrily. A wind burst came our way and I grabbed Kanta-kun and turned so he wouldn't be hurt. It stung a lot, but it was worth it. There wasn't one scratch on Kanta-kun.
I turned to see Eido. "If you dare… try to get rid of Kanta-kun, I will kill you! I'll rip out your guts and feed them to the smoking pits of hell while you watch then I'll cut off your arms and legs with a rusty saw and leave you for DEAD! YOU GOT THAT? IF YOU TOUCH KANTA-KUN, YOU'LL FACE MY WRATH!"
Eido seemed a little shocked, or fearful. That gave Kiyo and Zatch enough time to cast their spell.
"ZAKER!"
Eido had retreated before the lightning could strike them. He said his few words of retreat and then was off. I held Kanta-kun tight. "I almost failed you…"
'Nah, you did alright… for a beginner.'
Suddenly, a bright light flashed from my book, so I opened it to see what was up. Kanta-kun's eyes widened as he realized what had just happened.
'The second spell! Read it!'
"Ha'rouk," I said. Kanta-kun smiled happily and I grinned back. We had our second spell, and we couldn't wait to see what it did. I could save more people!
"What does your first spell do anyway?" Kiyo asked. I frowned.
"It summons animals to attack our opponent, but I don't know why it didn't work," I replied frowning. An idea popped in my head. "Maybe it's not because there were no animals around, maybe it was because I didn't have enough emotion. I pretty much yelled because I was disturbed…"
"Could possibly be. You're the most positively emotional girl in our school, Natsumi," Kiyo replied. I raised an eyebrow.
"Are those the rumors about me?"
"Sure are."
I sighed. School and Mamodos… my life was certainly going to be interesting.
End of Chapter 5: The Solution
Author's Notes: Fudge, that's weird. "Most Positively Emotional Girl in School" It sounds like a category in the Memory books. -sigh- Anyway, I'm thinking this is turning more into a drama than fighting... Seriously. I mean, there's more drama than fighting--I gotta change that.
Take to Heart V.4,
Sammy
P.S. Take to Heart is a manga I've been drawing since... around October-November-ish. It's about a demon girl and three guys and love and blah. I'm on book four now. Not too bad, four books in about 8 months. It's my first manga too! I'm so proud!
