Chapter 24: Yumira

The florescent light from the nurses office buzzed endlessly. The brothers laid in beds staring at the roof. There was an odd silence between them. They were left unconscious at the nurses office door, and now that they awoke, they waited for someone to come and check on them.

"Jynn," Moon said softly. "Can you remember how we got here?"

"No," Jynn replied solemnly. "I've been straining my brain trying to remember what happened tonight, but I can't get past us tailing Ikelan to the club."

"Same here, were we ambushed?"

"No clue."

Standing on the roof across from the medical lab, Umbra stood with Yumira resting on his side, watching them. "Looks like your memory wipe was successful little one." He said softly. When she didn't respond he checked to find her sleeping. He smiled to himself, kissed her on the forehead and whispered. "You are truly special." With that he scooped her up and vanished in a cloud of mist.

"So the last thing you remember was entering the Jazz club, right?" Jynn checked.

"Yeah, we were tailing Ikelan, and followed him to the Jazz club, I know we entered but I don't remember anything after that."

"Seeing we are in the hospital wing again, I assume that we fought the girl, and lost."

"I doubt we would loose to a middle school girl. We must have been ambushed as soon as we entered."

"You lost in a fair two on two match." Myria said as she entered the hospital wing. "How are you doing?"

"I feel like I have a bad hangover and I'm wondering what the hell happened last night."

"Xaioto is running the defenders, The girl appears to be his little sister."

"That's Impossible, Xaioto was with me most of the time. Why would he want to re-establish the organization he fought so hard to destroy?" Moon demanded.

"He's not himself. He... It took over his body this time."

"It?"

"The golem. Remember how the golem had a consciousness of its own. Xaioto is acting on this consciousness rather than his own. He is not himself."

"How did you figure this all out."

"I've known for a while, I figured that since I was the one to bring him back last time, I should be the one to handle it now. So I tried dealing with it on my own, but every time I confronted him, he would repress me with his calming mist and just keep me by his side unable to do anything." Tears began to well up in her eyes. "His mist is truly a scary power when he uses it like this."

"Why didn't you tell us?" Jynn shouted.

"Because I was afraid that you would do exactly what you did last night and attack him. I was worried that you two might kill him, he doesn't have a decent defense remember. I didn't expect him to defeat you without a scratch."

Jynn and Moon both felt Myria's word slice through their pride like a red hot sword. Not only did they loose to Xaioto and a middle school girl, but they didn't even scratch him. They looked at each other, "We are definitely going to have to fix that mistake."

"It's pointless. As long as he has Yumira next to him, its virtually impossible to win. During one of my captivity periods, he had me spar with Yumira one on one. She can handle herself for a middle schooler, and with Xaioto they just create one really powerful force, but I never seen them fight together until earlier."

"So you fought the little girl? What do we need to know?"

Myria sighed, "She has a water type aura, and very low aura tolerance. One on one, using her aura tires her very quickly, because of this she attacks acupressure points to disable her opponent as quickly as possible. However she has a really strong guard that can even stop physical attacks. She guarded against an oncoming truck once and escaped with out a scratch. To beat her you need to tire her out." She paused. "However, that all changes next to Xaioto. When Xaioto hugs her, he wraps his healing mist around her, and it restores her aura fatigue as fast as she builds it. Next to him she can go on forever."

"Shouldn't that be draining on Xaioto though, he needs to replenish his water level or he would dry himself out." Moon commented.

"Normally, but Yumira's aura is water remember, when Xaioto hugs her, she wraps a replenishing water stream around him, apparently she is an eternal battery for his mist, so that he can heal her forever."

"Then we just need to break them apart." Jynn said.

"Easier said than done." Myria continued. "Xaioto's attacks penetrate defenses and Yumira's defense is perfect. Getting to them is like fighting a tank with a BB gun."

"Did you say Yumira?" Nurse Kerla asked walking in.

"Yes" Myria answered and went into an explanation of the whole situation. When she had finished Nurse Kerla walked over to her desk in the far corner of the room and picked up a photograph. Returning, she showed it to Myria.

"Is this the girl?"

Looking at the photograph Myria saw a family portrait of Nurse Kerla with two children. The first was a younger version of Yumira, smiling pleasantly and clinging to the side of her sibling and clutching a raggedy teddy bear. The boy she was holding on to looked liked Xaioto, with light blond hair.

"You're Xaioto's and Yumira's mother?"

"Yumira's mother, Yes." she started. "That's isn't Xaioto, though it is easy to see why Yumira would make the mistake. Riven, My son and Yumira's brother, died, not too long ago, along with their father. Yumira, being the only survivor, was suppose to be sent here to stay with me. I assume she saw Xaioto and mistook him for Riven. Knowing Xaioto's caring nature, he wouldn't turn her away."

"That explains the girl, but why is Xaioto acting differently?"

"We won't be able to tell until we get him in here for examination."

"That still leaves us with the problem of how to get Xaioto back. Ikelan just received his next orders, so he shouldn't have to meet up with Xaioto for a while, and I lost the strand of Yumira's hair I used to find her last time." Jynn said.

"Xaioto is always at the Jazz club on nights and sleeps somewhere during the days. Finding him isn't the problem, its getting him back to us." Myria replied.

"We'll give it a day, for us to heal, then we'll go get him." Jynn replied.

"And end up back here." Myria scornfully said. "You can't beat him on your own."

"Don't worry, I have an idea." Moon said.
