Well, I wasn't really sure how the story would've gone if she actually did human transmutation, so try not to yell or review to harshly about that, and I'll try to upload faster from now on! -Miki
Part 2- Pouring
To be honest, I was afraid of this, afraid that I might never come back, might never get to see my friends again, or most importantly- adopt a cat and name it Lilac. But after Rena through down salt and all those other ingredients I never remember the name of, I began to calm down.
" Well Sparky, allow the girl some space," Iaso said from behind me, and I felt a wind rush past and me and a second later I realized that it was time for rain.
"Um… guys… can we actually skip this, I'm kind of freaking out over here," I said, looking down at the knife in my hand. Looking at it made me feel sick, I mean I've used knives for cooking and stuff, but, now in the middle of the night it seems dangerous somehow, like I'm going to suddenly start attacking everyone like I'm Jack the Ripper or something.
"YES! I AGREE WITH SAM!" Rena said way to loudly and quickly, thronging her hands up in the air wildly and turning expectantly towards Iaso. Iaso shrugged, and I grinned happily.
"Thank you, I'm going home to play piano," Rena said sarcastically, waving her hands as we started back home. Iaso shrugged "You guys know I'm going to have to leave soon, right?"
Both me and Rena turned on him.
"Come on, when I first met you guys I told you I was only staying for a year, and it's going to be August in a week."
Rena yawned unhappily "Recite that when I'm awake and actually care."
Thunder rolled over us, and I felt a few droplets of rain splash onto me. The next second all I could see was black and feel the dripping wetness of my now stringy hair. I latched one hand onto the back of Iaso's- possibly Rena's- shirt and hoped they could navigate through this rain.
"So Sparky, are you guys ever going to visit me when I'm back in Xing?"
I could practically hear Rena shrug uncomfortably.
"You guys have to meet mom and dad, they're really nice, and my little sister- Lucky- you guys would love her she has the best luck, is almost an assassin, and can tell you the best stories," Iaso said happily.
"Sounds like you miss her," I said, wiping some water off my face, trying to keep balance, I kept falling over rocks and bushes.
Then…
CRACK! The whole street lit up for a second with lightening and I glimpsed Rena's face right before I tripped. I felt my body front flip and dive into the cemented road and felt a searing pain through my head and the last thing I remember was this:
"Get out of our seat, those are ours," I said, twirling a lollipop around in my mouth, savoring the lemon- root beer combination. Rena sat next to me, done up in with a long blond ponytail her black eyes staring at the kid wildly.
"Last time I checked, you weren't sitting here," The annoyance said, stretching out in the bus seat. I scowled, removed the lollipop from my mouth and stuck it in his hair. A second later Rena held her gun up to his head. It was funny- for some odd reason, the teachers allowed her the gun. He flinched, and Rena pulled the trigger, grinning happily, and I already knew what would happen next.
Confetti paper popped out in multiple colors, spraying the kids hair and body, me and Rena burst out laughing.
"Nice, trying to assassinate a Emperor's son, real appropriate."
"Listen kid, if I was trying to assassinate you all I would have to do is use this one," Rena said, wiping away tears from her eyes and pulling out the real gun.
