Chapter II
The New Student
"Class we have a new student today," said Mr.Hino, the homeroom teacher for Reedington Middle School, as he wrote the student's name on the chalkboard, "Please welcome Yulie Yomada. Yulie you can sit behind Eli."
Eli studied Yulie carefully as the boy walked to his seat, 'The energy coming from him seems almost familiar, but that jewel he wears is also emitting a strange energy totally unfamiliar to me. I must discuss this with Sakura and the others tomorrow. I wonder, is he the one?'
Later After School
"Hi Yulie! I'm Sakura," said a girl his age.
"Pleased to meet you," Yulie replied, "I've just moved here from Toyama last weekend."
"Oh, I bet you miss all your friends," she said sympathetically.
"Not really, they moved with me," he explained, "In fact, most of them are going to the college here."
"My brother goes to college there. Hey why don't you come over here and meet my friends."
"Sure," Yulie answered as he followed her to a small group of people two girls and two boys.
"Guys this is Yulie, Yulie these are Li, Meilin, Madison, and Eli," said Sakura as she introduced them.
"Why are you wearing that funny neaklace?" asked Meilin a bit rudely.
"It was a gift from a friend of mine," he managed to say trying to hold back tears from old memories that could never be forgotten.
"Yulie... what's the matter?" Sakura asked concerned.
"Did something bad happen to your friend?" Madison asked just as
concerned as her best friend
"He died about five years back, a day after he gave it to me," he answered, "I don't really want to talk about it."
"That's okay," said Sakura understandingly. Meilin looked as if she had just realized she had eaten her own foot.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know," she whispered apologetically.
"It's okay," Yulie said, then he noticed a red Samurai, "That's my ride, I've got to go. Nice meeting you!" he shouted as he ran towards the car.
"He seemed very nice," said Sakura after he had left.
"Yes, but there's something about him. Not only does he seem to be radiating a power similar to Sakura's but that Jewel he wears around his neck has a power of it's own," remarked Eli.
"Whoa, that's about as weird as what happened last night," exclaimed Li.
"What did happen last night?" asked Meilin.
"Well, I had to fight a fire spirit to stop it from burning the city, when I won I got this," as he said this he removed the medallion from his pocket and handed it to Eli.
"The Katana of Fire, so they have finally come," Eli said slipping into his other voice, "Did you meet with a guardian?"
"Yes, Saphire," Li answered.
"Well she should make things more interesting. I wonder if Spinal knows she's back yet, Kero undoubtedly does," said Eli with a trace of a smile on his face, "Why don't we meet at the park tonight, Sakura bring both Keroberos and Yue, Li bring Sapphire."

"How was your first day Yulie?" asked a young woman.
"It was fine Mia. Do you know when the guys are getting home?"
"Yeah in about an hour. I'm glad I don't have to teach after four though, gives me more time to myself."
"I wonder how White Blaze liked being home alone."
"If he shreds my furniture Ryo will have heck to pay."
