Chapter 15: The Friend
I looked at him confusedly. Who I really was? My name is Sammy and I have a Mamodo. Isn't that all? Ken laughed again and tugged on my coarse hair with playful grin. "Oh, of course you don't know. It's only a prophecy after all."
I opened my book and screamed out. "AN'KAR!"
Quickly, the ground trembled under our feet. I fell, but looking up, I saw a gigantic monster. It had night-black wings and bright golden eyes. Its claws were tinted a deep red and it's teeth was the size of trees. Even I trembled at its ferocious glare. I quickly had to get a hold of myself before it disappeared.
"Aww, cutie… it sure is scary," Ken replied, with a playful grin. He took out a black spell book with white markings. Lio quickly leaped ahead of Ken and grinned. "JI'RAN HA'ROUK!"
A bright light blinded Kanta-kun and me. When my eyes adjusted, I noticed that my spell had vanished. He had my word too. He—he stole my spell, sorta! I looked to him and he shrugged.
"Hey, hey… why are you looking so angry with me? That was a really hard spell to get rid of. I'm proud of you," he replied. Then I noticed it. His eyes were empty. Well, they were empty. They quickly flickered back to their original state—that I thought was weird too.
"You're… a Mamodo?" I asked, noticing how Kanta-kun's eyes went blank when he did an attack. Ken and Lio grinned at each other and burst out laughing, making my cheeks turn slightly pink. "C'mon, guys!"
'I'm the Mamodo,' Lio replied, sneering. Okay, I don't know why, but he hates me for a reason. What did I DO?
"I'm the partner. I'd tell you what was wrong if we'd be partners ourselves," Ken stated, tugging my hair again. I kicked him—where it hurts—and ran for my life with Kanta-kun at my side. Kanta-kun looked at me and I knew he saw the worry in my eyes. What was wrong with him? What prophecy? Why is this story being so cliché?
'I guess it's true,' Kanta-kun murmured beside me. I blinked and tripped. Getting up, I asked, "What's true?"
'Oh, nothing… nothing at all.'
"Psh, yeah, like that's nothing."
'It's nothing, really. Just an episode of the future speaking,' Kanta-kun replied. Suddenly, I felt a hand reach out and grab me, pulling me into the bushes with Kanta-kun. A hand came to my mouth to silence my scream.
"Shh…"
Ken and Lio passed and the person let go of me. This guy had soft blonde hair and bright blue eyes. It was slightly tan and his face was perfect—I swear! It was like looking at the Prince Charming. There was a small girl next to him, holding Kanta-kun the same way he was holding me. Kanta-kun bit her hand and I saw her bite her lip to keep from yelping.
"It seems okay now…" the blonde haired boy said, sounding slightly relieved. The girl nodded and then kicked Kanta-kun in the shin. He didn't yelp, but I saw he was hurting. My savior got up and pulled me up with him.
"Hello, my name is Chrome, pleased to meet you," he said, smiling and holding out his hand. I shook it and nodded.
"Same here. Name's Natsumi," I replied. "Thanks for saving my butt back there."
"No problem. Oh, and I see you have a Mamodo. I have one too. Her name is Kokoro."
"Oh, that's Kanta-kun," I said pointing to my Mamodo. Kokoro and Kanta-kun didn't seem to be getting along too well. Kanta-kun looked at me and frowned, looking as if he was saying, 'Darn it. Why are you friends with someone with such a mean Mamodo?' I laughed and Kokoro tugged on my shirt after leaving Kanta-kun.
'May I call you… Onee-chan?' she asked, her golden eyes looking into me. I nodded happily. Kokoro looked at Chrome and nodded happily, her golden hair bouncing with her. Jeez, I wish I had hair like that. Mine is rough and thick and is a PAIN to deal with in the morning.
Kanta-kun glared at Kokoro and tugged on the other side of my shirt. He looked up at me with his cute green eyes. "Well, I'm her best friend!" he bragged.
Kokoro glared at him and tugged on my shirt, harder this time. They continued to tug harder and harder until I screamed, trying to keep my shirt on as much as possible, "You guys! You guys! You're gonna rip my shirt off!"
The two stopped and glared at each other. Chrome and I laughed at the two bickering Mamodo. Picking Kanta-kun up, I hugged him tightly. "Aww, Kanta-kun, can't you stop being mad for a moment?"
Kanta-kun nodded slightly. Looking at Chrome, I said, "I gotta get home. Thanks for saving me again."
"Yeah, later."
End of Chapter 15: The Friend
Author's Note: I don't know about the prophecy much anymore. I thought about fixing it into my plot, but I realized a LOT of people do that. A LOT LOT of people do that, so I may or may not bring it back up. Ken and Lio will return, however. XD Yay!
Lio is a cute name,
Sammy
