It had been a few days since Daniel had first arrived at the temple and had finally just finished unpacking his bag's and stared at the amount of clothing he brought and how he was worried it might not be enough but did not care - he had a mass variation of books, pencils and sketches his pride and joy and of course his journal. Smiling away he sat down and taking out a nice new artist pencil he sharpened it to a fine point and opened up his sketch book at a new page and began to lightly sketch the outline of a face. It wasn't long after he finished the base idea for his drawing when he heard a knock on the door and quickly shoved the pencil and book under the bed roll's.

"um..." Daniel said while thumbling with the materials he was trying to hide "Just a second please!".

Daniel heard Clay's voice from the other side, "Is every'thin all right in ther'e partner?" Clay cracked the door slightly to peek in just as Daniel covered the items in time. "Oh! . . . Clay." Daniel exclaimed rather suprised "What . . What are you d-doing here?" his question was asked with a hint of excitement as well as curiosity. Clay looked down at the smaller boy after he fully opened the door with a slightly chuckle, "Nervous little critter arn't ya?. Master Fung want's us in the main court yard for element training and practice"

Daniels eyes filled with a light mist of tear's followed with a depressive sigh and a "Oh", as he got up and shuffled past Clay and towards the court yard as instructed while clay followed behind rubbing his head looking rather confused by the new dragons reaction.

Ouside in the court yard Daniel finally made it to where Omi, Kimiko and Rai where waiting and took a place between Omi and Kimiko while Clay followed behind Daniel and took his place next to Rai. Clay was still curious as to why Daniel got upset when he heard about elemental training and glanced over at him only to see Daniel looking very uncomfortable.

Clay was about to say something to Daniel but just before his words left his mouth Master Fung began to speak so Clay thought it best to speak to Daniel in private or have words with Kimiko - *yet another thing for her to find out.*

"Kimiko" Master Fung said and motioned Kimiko to step towards him.

"Yes Master?" Kimiko said as she watched Master Fung roll up his sleaves and held his arm out with the palm flat and facing up.

"Burn me if you please" Master Fung said ignoring every ones reaction to this, even thou Kimiko protested Master Fung continued to order the Young dragon until Kimiko took out her Shen Gong Wu the Star Hanabi and used it to burn the Master's arm as he requested although she did not do it surverly as if it where at actual battle it was no worse than a very large and bad friction burn.

Master Fung did not flinch and thanked Kimiko and sent her back in the line then with his other arm motioned Daniel to come fourth. "You know what to do young dragon"

"But I-I-I can't" Daniel said looking at the ground "I'm not . . . i can't" before he could continue Master Fung held up his burnt arm so Daniel could see it. Daniel felt the guilt building at how Master Fung did this so he could practice and how much he wanted to make his pain go away.

Daniel looked over behind him at Clay who was looking almost as stupefied and confused as the others and with a sigh and smile Daniel clasped both his hands and held them close to his heart and closed his eye's for a moment.

"Inner heart! . . . - LIGHT!" Daniels voice echoed through the court yard as a bright deep red light shone through the gaps in his fingers .

Omi, Kimiko, Raimundo and Clay just stared gob-smacked at what they saw, Master Fung's burns shimmered a golden glow and then the light seemed to "dust" and gently float off in the wind and when the glow was gone after a few seconds so where the burn's.

"What the hell just happened!" Raimundo said very bluntly the others too shocked to correct Rai on his outburst. as Daniel just kept his gaze fixed on the ground.

"Well young monks" Master Fung began to explain "Daniel here is the dragon of light, he uses his own emotional state to heal the wounds of others". Master Fung looked at Daniel with a smile before he continued in an attempt to comfort him.

"The dragon of light doesn't have any real attack power as such but makes this up with his own healing powers as well as a kind and gentle heart, he draws his power from the love he feels in his heart his own inner light if you will"

Daniels eyes began to fill again with a mist of tears "What love?" he muttered so that only Master Fung could hear.

Master Fung looked at Daniel for a moment and looked up at Kimiko "Kimiko perhaps you would care to take Daniel back to his room to rest, you both are also excused from this training lesson" he said motioning towards Kimiko and Daniel.

Kimiko nodded and linked arms with Daniel and walked him to his room in silence. Once Daniel had entered his room Kimiko thought it be best just to leave him alone with his thoughts for a few hour's, however just as she had closed the door over.

"Kimmie" Daniel shouted as he heard Kimiko closing the door "Can i talk to you? . . . please?"

Kimiko entered the room and sat down infront of Daniel and began to question him on why it is he feels so down and how also that she was impressed at what his power is and how sweet and befitting it was of him.

"I don't know why, i guess it is because well . . . i give my love away so easily but i never get any in return and i don't think it befits me at all, i feel dead inside most the time. So i don't see how any light can be in me if it wasn't for the fact i just used my power i would have swore it was dead."

Kimiko looked at him and gave Daniel a hug and wriggled some reaching under Daniels bed rolls feeling something poking her in her knees. "Whats this?" Kimiko looked at the sketch book with what clearly looked like a rough sketch of Clay. "wow" Kimiko looked at the drawing and then at Daniel "This is really good!!"

Daniel looked at the floor as if to say it wasn't "I never usually let anyone see my work"

Kimiko had a few peeks of the other drawings he had done the detail, the colouring everything was just so life like as if it could jump out the page. "Just curious" . . . Kimiko said looking at Daniel "Are you gay?, i mean i don't want to upset you more"

Daniel looked at Kimiko with a half smile that was obviously forced "Yes i am but please don't tell anyone im not really sure myself to be honest, but i know that i -"

Kimiko looked at him and interrupted Daniel before he could finish his sentence "Like Clay?" Kimiko laughed as she saw a flush coming to Daniels face. "I know, i saw that blush when you met him and the picture sort of gave it away too"

Kimiko held the drawing up, Daniel hadn't even realized that he hadn't just drew the outlines for clays face, but his whole body also and with not a stitch of clothing in sight. Kimiko looked for a moment lost in thought and stared at Daniel.

"Met me in the gardens outside the court yard at around 9 p.m" Kimiko said softly "dont ask why but i think if all goes well you will be in a for a suprise."

"No Kimmie please! don't talk to Clay!" Daniel eye filled with terror almost as if he knew what she was going to do. "I'm begging you the last time i took a chance like that with a guy i ended up with a black eye and two years worth of bullying!"

"All right i wont, but met me anyway O.K we can talk about stuff more i promise" Kimiko said altho she did have other plans remembering her discussion with Clay the night that Daniel first arrived!.

Just because she couldn't tell Clay, doesn't mean she couldn't get them together on a nice moonlight night.
