"Hey Squirt," said a young man with short brown hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a white shirt and a pair of blue jeans.
"Shouldn't you be at work Tori?" asked Sakura, she was wearing a pink shirt and blue jeans.
"I'm off today. Oh, don't bother me today. I have a test tomorrow and I brought a friend over to help me study.
"Julian?" asked Sakura hopefully.
"No," answered Tori.
"Oh, well I've got Madison and Yulie over, so I won't bother you. By the way, who is your friend?"
"Rowan Hashiba, he has three classes with me and Julian," said Tori as his friend entered the room. He had short blue hair held back by a non-effective blue headband, and blue eyes. He was wearing a white shirt with a blue jacket, with the number five on the back, and a pair of blue jeans.
"So is Blue Boy here Rowan?" asked Sakura as Yulie entered the room. He was wearing a Black t-shirt with the 'Cats' logo on the front, and a pair of blue jeans.
"Rowan?! What are you doing here? I thought you were going to a friend's house?" asked Yulie.
"I did. But it appears that our friends are siblings," explained Rowan.
"You know each other?" asked Sakura.
"Yeah, Rowan is one of my best friends. He's really smart too, so if you need any help with homework he's the one to ask," said Yulie.
"Yeah, but you probably wouldn't need so much help if you'd lay off the video games," chided Rowan as he attempted to fix his headband.
"And if you'd just get a decent haircut you wouldn't have to mess with that thing," retorted Yulie. Rowan gave him a false look oh horror and then they began to laugh.
"Next time you want to come over, I'll give you a ride and spare Mia the drive," offered Rowan as he left the room with Tori.
"So is he the one who taught you how to fight?" asked Sakura as they left the room.
"One of them, Rowan taught me how to use the bow," replied Yulie, "I'm still nowhere near as good as him."
"Then he must be a master with it," said Madison as they entered Sakura's room. She was watching her footage of Yulie's fight with Water.
"Look here's Li's fight with Venom," said Madison as her tape switched to the next battle.
"I still don't get how you figured that one out," said Kero, then to himself, 'He said he didn't want to reveal his friends' secrets, could Rowan be connected to this somehow?'
"That's it," said Madison as the fight ended. She ejected the tape and replaced it in her camera. The screen was immediately replaced with the news.
"No one seems to know why the girl is here, and no one can get close enough to question her. For those just tuning in a strange girl mysteriously appeared by the fountain at the city park. Eyewitnesses claim the girl materialized from thin air," announced the reporter as the screen changed to show the girl. She was elflike and seemed to be golden. In her hands she held a no-datchi that was taller than her. A white light radiated from her and formed a barrier of light around her. She seemed to be waiting for someone.
"She's a medallion!" exclaimed Yulie. The three teens snuck out of the house and raced to the park.
"I'm going to use Sleep," explained Sakura, "We don't need anyone to see us." She summoned the staff and then called forth the Sleep Card. Soon everyone except Sakura, Madison, and Yulie were the only ones awake. When they tried to enter the barrier Madison and Sakura were knocked back. Yulie was the only one permitted to enter.
"We're still close enough to film it," said Madison as she turned on her camera. Light smiled as Yulie approached her. When he stood directly in front of her, she slowly touched the Jewel of Life. It glowed brightly as she touched it and her light grew too.
"Your heart must be pure and full of light to wear this gem," she said in a clear bell like voice, "We do not have to fight. Seal me now, I am willing."
"As you wish,
Raging Fire, Foaming Sea
Endless Light, Eternal Darkness
Surrender your power now to me Release"
"No-Datchi of Light Return to your spirit Return to your Medallion Light"
The medallion was green with a golden no-datchi embossed on it with the word light beneath it. It was slightly warm to the touch and seemed to glow. Once Light was sealed the barrier vanished.
"Yulie, what happened? It got so bright we couldn't see," said Sakura.
"She didn't fight. She touched the Jewel of, I mean my necklace and told me to seal her," he said as he handed Sakura the medallion for inspection.
"It's different from the others," said Sakura as she returned it.
"Light has the power to heal and light the way," said Dae, "Next time tell me when you run after a medallion. I nearly got caught by that giant your friend calls a cat!"
"How did you find us?" asked Yulie.
"I saw Light on the news and figured you would sense her and come here," he explained. "We should get back before my dad notices that we're gone," said Sakura.
