Chapter 6

"So this is Seaside Village?" Daichi said. Seaside Village was a distant village near the coast. They could see the ocean as far as the eye could see. The village also had a very popular resort called Star Resort. The fastest way to get to Seaside Village was to take the bullet train, Hikari Mina. There were many people on the beach, enjoying the fresh sea air and the clear waters. There was beach volleyball games spend out on the sandy place as well as barbecues with hot, juicy meat cooking up. They could see many children laughing in the sun as they splash waves of refreshing water at each other.

"Wow! So this is the ocean!" Lexi exclaim, her violet eyes shining with excitement. She had her hands clasp together as she look towards the ocean. Lexi had only joined them a few days back, but she had been a big help. She had all kinds of information and Akane, her ghost have been a big help when searching for anyone who came near them. She had good housing skills and she got along greatly with Annie and Serena as well as the boys. Rei and Lexi still fight with each other a lot. She still remains a tomboy. Akira had tried to flirt with her, but she completely trashed him with a single sweep of her silver whip. But the mysterious thing about her was that she would never tell the name of the kingdom she was from and what region she lives in before she had started traveling.

Rei came up beside her. "You've never been to the ocean before?" She shook her head. Rei stare at her for a moment before turning to Daichi. Daichi smile as he knew what his best friend want him to do. Though he never would have admit it, Daichi could tell that Rei wanted to show Lexi more of the world because it seems that she never went to a lot of places in her whole life.

"Well, since we are at a beach resort and the tournament is still a long way to go, why don't we stick around for a while and have fun? Lexi, you should try to enjoy the ocean." he said, grinning. The others nodded.

"But, I don't want to be a bother!" Lexi protested.

"What's the matter? Afraid of the water? Or are you afraid I could totally beat you in beach volleyball?" Rei smirk.

Lexi was flame with anger. "Bring it on, you arrogant jerk! I could beat you anytime!" The two stood glaring at each other. You could see lightning being shot out by their eyes at each other. The others shook their heads at the way those two were acting. Daichi sigh. He'll never change.

"That wouldn't have been a draw if you didn't have dumb luck on your side!" Rei shouted.

The volleyball game had just ended a few hours ago and the gang was in the girls' room after taking showers, talking or more like yelling between of Rei and Lexi. The match was between Rei, Daichi and Akira against Lexi, Annie and Serena. The match ended in a draw, 10-10.

They were all wearing robes from the hotel that they were staying at and there was the smell of damp hair in the air. The hotel they were staying at was called "Summer Sunshine". Everything in the hotel was bright and refreshing. The main colors of the hotel were yellow and blue. There were a lot of real seashells on top of desks and tables. A beautiful painting shows the ocean during sunset that hangs in the main lobby.

"You're the one who had dumb luck!" Lexi shot back.

"You barely made it!"

"Take that back, dimwit!"

"Why should I?!"

"Please! Stop fighting!" Bason, Akane and Shamash tried to calm the down, but Rei and Lexi brush them off. The two were glaring daggers at each other.

"You guys sure like each other." Annie said, she was reading a book that the hotel provided on her place on a well carved wooden desk near the huge glass window that gave off a glorious view of the ocean. Lexi blush and Rei had an annoyed look on his face but you could see a dusty pink on his cheeks. They both look away from each other.

Daichi smile at Annie. She knew exactly what to do to stop the arguing. He and Annie haven't fought like Rei and Lexi in a long time. He didn't mind it through. He was glad that they were getting along and soon Rei and Lexi will to. Although, he did wonder why Rei wanted Lexi to join them in the first place if they were just gonna argue 24/7? He was going to ask Rei about this later.

"I can't believe her!" Rei shouted as he pop down on the bed. He cross his arms and wore a scowl on his face. "She totally lost! She should have admitted it!"

The boys were back in their own room now after being kicked out by the girls.

"Master Rei, you should calm down." Bason said. Shamash nodded.

"Hey, Rei? I want to ask you something." Daichi said, his face was serious.

Rei looked over at Daichi. He raises his eyebrow. "Yeah?"

"Why did you want Lexi to join us?" Daichi asked. "We hardly knew her at all at the time. You would never let anybody join us like that. You never trust anybody much, not even us and we have been with you all your life!"

"Not all." Charlie pointed out. They ignore him.

"Yeah, why did you?" Yuki ask.

"That is strange." Akira said.

Rei was silent for a moment. His bangs brush over his face. "Remember how Taki said about finding the girls who had our spirits?" They all nodded. "Well, I felt a weird aura from her that felted like mine."

Daichi's eyes widen. "You think she has the dragon Spirit Of Thunder?" Rei nodded.

Silence wash upon them. "Oh, man! Why does he get to have Lexi?!" Akira whines.

Rei shot him a glare. "What do you mean I get to have her?"

"Well, Taki did say that we had to protect the girl who holds our spirits in them in dragon form." Yuki said.

Daichi smirk. "That means that if Lexi does have your spirit, you have to protect her! And, like Annie said so earlier, you might end up falling for her!" He laughs out loud. The others join in. Rei scowl.

"Whatever." he scoffs. "How can we know for sure?"

"Amidamaru." Daichi said looking at his ghost.

"Yes?" Amidamaru asked.

"Didn't Taki say that the dragon spirit would respond to the spirit they belong to?" he asked. Amidamaru nodded.

"You want to try that?" Rei asked.

"Master! The girls became unconscious after the dragon spirits show up and then left them." Bason said. Rei closed his eyes.

"Bason, I want you and Shamash to go bring Akane here. I need to talk to her." Rei ordered. They nodded and disappeared.

"Why are we here for?" Lexi ask Rei. The two were near the huge rocks at the edge of the beach. Dusk had fallen and the night sky was showered with bright stars. The waves were loud as they crash onto the rocks. After Rei had explained everything to Akane, she had let him take Lexi with him to find out if she had his spirit. The others were actually nearby, covered by the rocks watching Rei and Lexi. Bason, Shamash and Akane were watching their shaman partners carefully behind the rocks.

"Do you know of the elemental spirits?" Rei asked as a breeze came over them.

She nodded. "They're the most powerful spirits, right? They're part of nature and are guarded by the Patch."

"Was guarded by the Patch." Rei said. Lexi's eyes widen a bit.

"What do you mean?"

"My grandfather, as well as Daichi's, Yuki's, Akira's and Charlie's were all given the five elemental spirits by the Patch people. On our first birthday, those spirits were given to us."

Lexi gasp and she put her hand over her mouth. "You can't be serious!"

Rei nodded. "We should have told you earlier. But now, I want to test something." As he said that, he summons the Spirit Of Thunder and it stood right there before a very surprise Lexi.

Suddenly, a rush of pain came over her and she fell to her knees. She closed her eyes tightly as she bit her lip to stop herself from screaming out. Rei watch as a dragon spirit came out and floated above Lexi. The dragon was a thunder yellow and it had a vicious look. It had a sharp tail and razor claws. It indeed had the same aurora as the Spirit Of Thunder. The others were gaping at the dragon.

All too soon, the dragon disappears back into Lexi and she lay down on the ground, unconscious when Rei sent his spirit away.

"Ha, ha. That really was quite interesting." a voice said. They quickly turn to face the voice to find a smiling boy about their age. The boy was sitting on one of the tall rocks and his long white cloak was hiding his features.

"Who are you?" Rei ask, pointing his spear at the boy.

The boy laughs. "Sorry, I didn't mean any trouble." a huge giant appear behind the boy and brought down the huge black club onto the sandy beach. The club made a splitting on the ground. Rei quickly swoop up Lexi and jump out of the way before the ground split. He drops Lexi with Akane.

"It's not nice to be impolite, Rei Tao." the boy said. Rei's eyes narrow. How did he know Rei? Daichi thought. By the look on Rei's face, he could tell that Rei didn't know either.

Akira jump out of hiding. "Ice make. Cannon!" he shouted. An ice cannon appear and Akira shot a blast of ice and snow at the boy. The giant held up its hand and blocked the attack. It then punch Akira in the stomach and slam him into a nearby rock.

"Like I said, I'm not looking for trouble, Akira Usui." the boy turn to look at Daichi. He smiled. "Continue to grow your powers, Daichi Asakura. As the heir to the Asakuras, you have a lot of responsibly. Soon all of you will serve me as the future ruler, Keir," with that being said, the boy disappears into the night sky leaving the gang very confused.

Yoh: Isn't this the same thing Hao did when we met him? (Hao is Yoh's twin brother and he was an evil shaman)

Me: Yeah.
