Chapter 3: Spying
A dark figure with long brown hair made his way to the Hiwatari mansion and knocked on the huge doors. Voltaire's guards King and Queen answered.
"State your business here" King said gruffly.
"I'm here to see Kai-sama, I have some important news for him." Said the dark figure.
Queen was flustered a bit. "Kai-sama is not here but you may address Hiwatari-sama if you wish."
The figure eyed them suspiciously, his piercing eyes almost as cold as Kai's. King and Queen recognized the glare; it was the same kind of glare Kai wore when he was displeased.
"Fine, then I will see Hiwatari-sama." The dark figure said in an icy tone that can match Kai's.
King and Queen inwardly shivered, long used to never showing emotions, but led the figure to Voltaire's study. They used a large carving that rang with a sound.
"Come in." Voltaire's voice boomed and King and Queen led the stranger in.
"Sir, he has business with you."
Voltaire nodded and dismissed King and Queen, and then he turned his attention to the stranger.
"Well? What is it?" He said in a menacing voice, getting straight to the point, but the figure was not fazed by it.
"I am here to find Kai-sama, I am his shaman guardIvan. I am supposed to give this weapon to him."
The figure pulled out what looked like an ordinary broom (a/n: a witch type of broom) but it had a huge ruby that glittered between the wood and the straw. The words 'Firebolt" in crimson red was written across it. (A/n: Think Harry Potter, a little)
Voltaire studied it and then looked at the figure with a piercing gaze.
The stranger put the broom back into a cylinder sheath with the straw and ruby sticking out. Voltaire leaned against the old chair.
"I see, Kai is currently in Japan so unless you have a plane ticket you'll have to wait until he gets back," he said. He smirked when he saw the dark figure falter for a moment, he couldn't let Kai's guardIvan know what he was planning on doing or else he'll definitely put an end to it. The furyoku this stranger had was of normal shaman level but Voltaire was able to detect a bit of expertly suppressed shamanic power.
The figure smiled all of a sudden, "I understand," and he left.
Voltaire did not see the smile as he was already looking up information on one of the five Elementals: The Dragon
Seiryu- The Blue Dragon of Wind from the East
Seiryu is the ancient spirit of the storm and wind and is the boldest of all the spirits in the spirit world. The dragon spirit is the first spirit to inabit a sword and created the tradition of the sacred sword where all of the five shaman heirs gain a sword based on their own shamanic abilities and personality. The properties of the swords are powerful and only a shaman heir can touch them and the true heir can wield it to channel their energy. When the current shaman heir dies, the abilities they have and the sword itself die along with them, thus the five spirits are once again powerless to change the world if it should fall into ruin until the next heir is worthy enough to claim their own sword. As a sacred beast, Seiryu created the system of swords as a way to protect the elemental powers from the wrong hands. Seiryu is one of the 5 main elemental spirits; over the centuries, shamans and their sacred spirit grow attached to each other bit by bit and the current communicating shaman inherits powers from their spirits over a certain element. The souls can become attached to each other and when the Seiryu shaman dies, their link with Seiryu becomes tangent and should they remain on earth as a ghost, they will still have the abilities of the once living Seiryu shaman. The Seiryu shaman has the option of gaining wings to fly, although this is based on their mana as each mana is unique to the shaman. An evil-hearted heir can destroy thousands without the spirit's help simply by using the invisible wind. This can be deadly but there has been no records of an evil Seiryu shaman yet. A good-hearted one can use the wind to save many lives. The storm dragon is related to the all of the other four elements, thus, if combined properly, the Seiryu shaman can use even mightier power with the help of the other heirs. Legends say that Seiryuu is the highest level Wind Spirit; its signature colour is blue and Seiryu represents autumn
The old man smirked evilly and laughed a maniacal laughter, this power was far beyond what he dreamed of, it rivaled even Kai's powers and if this text was true, he can certainly do quite a lot about it. It was beyond his wildest dreams! He couldn't imagine what all five of them together will bring him.
-Outside the mansion-
The dark figure stood in the rain and seemed to be concentrating on something; his hands were making gestures. Suddenly a huge spirit appeared and the figure rode off in the pouring rain.
-Somewhere in Japan-
Kai and Yuriy had already set off to look for Tyson; Yuriy carried a walkie-talkie and whispered commands to Boris, Ivan and Sergei on the other end.
"Ask a nearby person if they know the Japanese heir." Yuriy whispered. There was static and then an unfamiliar voice shouted through the walkie-talkie.
"Of course I know the heir, his name is Tyson Kinomiya and I'm on my way to meet him now."
Then Yuriy and Kai heard Sergei's voice. "Could you tell us where he lives?"
"Why?"
"Uh… we want to see how strong he is."
"He lives around that corner in a dojo."
"Thanks."
Boris's voice came on, "Problem solved."
Yuriy nodded approvingly, "not a bad cover story, we'll head over to the east of Tokyo and you'll tell us where to go."
-Half an hour later-
"Sergei…" Yuriy growled. "All those directions were useless!"
Kai studied the signs, "Sergei said to go on Sake Street."
"Yeah, but we're on Sakura Street. I'm going to kill Sergei, those directions are not working." Yuri said fiercely.
Kai and Yuri made their way back to the hotel when Kai noticed a street sign.
"Yuriy, the sign tells us Sake street is on the west."
Yuri was fuming, "those idiots, they give us useless directions and then go the wrong direction as well! They were supposed to go east, not west, we're back where we started!
"You called your boyfriend an idiot" Kai said blankly.
"You would too if he was with a bunch of idiots"
"I don't have a boyfriend"
"You should get one soon. I know you are not interested in girls Kai."
"Hn"
"Look, there they are."
Kai and Yuriy went over to where Sergei, Ivan and Boris were. Yuri was cursing and shouting at them for no particular reason and it wasn't until Kai motioned for him to go that he stopped.
"Come on Yuriy, we still have to find Kinomiya"
"Right, Sergei, Ivan and Boris, you go to the east side of the place to look for them and Kai and I will go to the west."
The five parted and went down the RIGHT directions.
-Kai's P.O.V-
After Yuriy shouted at them for 20 minutes, I finally stopped him. It was getting to be pointless, repetitive and downright irritating He can really scream and I'm glad I'm not his boyfriend. I know I am attracted to guys now because girls had never been an interest unless they could survive in the abbey. It wasn't like I was isolated from girls, not really but no girls ever make it into the top ranks. I've seen fangirls on TV and they are just downright scary and I don't deemed them worthy to talk to.
Yuriy and I crouched low in the bushes and I finally saw the heir of Japan. He was a midnight-haired boy wearing a red cap and a red vest over yellow long sleeves. His dojo was surrounded by plants which was perfect for us to hide in so he's probably training in his own backyard.
A shorter boy with brown hair and glasses came over to talk to him. It was obvious which one is Tyson because he was carrying a sword with a dragon carved into the handle and a sapphire set in the middle of the hilt. As he drew his sword, I could make out an S engraved at the bottom and the top of the hilt was carved T. Kinomiya. It kind of resembled mine surprisingly. I guess all of the heirs would have something like my own sword. Dranzer S came to me when I was younger in the abbey and it was masked in a red glow that was hot to the touch but it didn't bother me at all when I took it although Ivan tried to grab it and learned what happens when you touch a Hiwatari weapon.
I leaned in closer to hear what they were saying.
"Kyouju, did you send the e-mail to Max? I hope he made it home safely."
The short one called Kyouju said, "Max is fine. He's made the trip here to America many times, you should know that. He has guardians too you know and from the information I gathered, they are pretty strong and well known in the Shaman World."
"I bet they can't protect Max as well as I can."
"But they're really famous shamans. I searched them up on the Patch network and they are really powerful!" Kenny protested.
"Well as long as they can protect him, I don't mind, but we'd better get practising. Ryu!! Come on!!"
-Normal P.O.V.-
Kai watched as Tyson's shaman guardian, Ryu, bounded out of the trees. He was a tall man with a funny looking hairdo and a white and purple tuxedo. Tyson picked up dark blue cape with a light blue outlines stitching a symbol of a dragon.
Kai watched as Tyson and Ryu battled each other. Tyson's cape flowed behind him and Kai was not in the least impressed with the moves Tyson has shown.
"Yuriy, I think we should call the others over"
"Right, I'm onto it" Yuriy said and disappeared from view.
A minute after Yuriy had left, Kai heard a slightly deeper and melodic voice. "Finally found you, Kai-san"
Kai spun around and saw a boy with long, dark brown hair and a huge fire spirit casting a shadow above the two. How did this boy know my name? Kai thought idly to himself.
"Who are you?"
Bonnie: Hmmm what was I thinking when I first wrote this? Yuri sounded so weird! The team names will be a mix of Japanese and English versions but the names will all be in Japanese because I like Japanese Names better but I can't remember the Japanese versions of all the teams.
The next chapter will have a LOT of revamping because I screwed that chapter up pretty badly and I'm adding in a lot of new things. Hopefully for the better!
R and R!
