Jeong sighed. They had moved Sunako back to his house in a chamber were all medical tools possibly needed were present. Not that her attacks had decreased. No, quite the opposite. They had increased. And if she wasn't having an apnea attack she would just stare out of the window looking at the passing birds. She didn't utter a word. Or actually she did. But not the kind of words that everyone wanted to hear. He sighed once more. Maybe it was time to start teaching how to use her element he thought.
Yuki walked into his room. There was a mattress on the oak floor. There was a bureau he could sit at and a small table. The walls were dark blue giving the room a dark small feeling. But he couldn't really complain. He was happy he had gotten a room at all. That Jun guy didn't seem to be the nicest person on earth after all. Not that he really bothered thinking about that.
No, Lately his mind had continuously on Sunako never giving him a break. Her condition seemed to get worse. When he had confronted Takenaga about it he had just said that if the mind didn't want to heal the body wouldn't. When Yuki had asked the other what he meant Takenaga had just given him a sad smile before turning around and softly saying that he should figure that out for himself . In all honesty he thought he knew what Takenaga meant but the meaning of those seamed to cruel to him. So he hadn't bothered thinking about it anymore since then. He sighed. The only thing he could hope for was for Sunako to get well again.
Cassian skated down the hill not bothering to avoid the people on the street unless they weren't looking since he knew that most people would jump aside on their own. And his reputation was already bad enough. Who would care if it became just a bit worse? The skateboard under his feet shifted lightly as he himself shifted his weight to the left to avoid a girl who had too much shopping bags to see him. Cassian looked for a moment behind him to see if the brats of the Seung gang were still following him. When he saw they still were he looked back in front of him before increasing his speed again. The song Diamond for tears by the band Poets of the fall was loudly playing through his headphones.
Out of my way,I'm running.
He grimaced sourly when he thought of the irony when he heard the sentence.
Sunako looked out of the window while slowly sipping at the cup of tea Jeong had ordered her to drink. Her window was faced toward the hug back garden which seemed to be made after a Japanese one with an immensely huge pond. Quiet beautiful really. It was a waste she didn't have the heart anymore to enjoy it. When Sunako,years ago had been told by the boy she had a crush on that she was ugly. She had just been incredibly sad. But this was different. Mary she hadn't just had an ordinary crush on. She had trusted, admired him and worst of all, she had truly loved him.
Her feelings had after the day she had found out about everything disappeared. Like in thin air. She didn't mind though. She didn't want to face the hurt that she knew would come if her heart allowed her to feel again. Jeong had told her that her condition was worsening but she hadn't been able to bring herself to care and had told him this. He had just smiled sadly at her before bending over until his lips had slightly brushed against her ears. 'You will when it's too late.' He had softly muttered then. She had looked up at him before he left and was surprised at the sadness and hurt she had found in his eyes. But that was the only emotion she had been able to feel. Surprise.
Softly the slide door was pushed open and Sunako turned around to see who came to visit her. Black long hair pulled in a loose ponytail and eyes which seemed to hold the dark night sky with its countless stars. A tall man for a Korean and a rare beauty which would make most girls wilt in comparison to him. Jeong.
She looked at him her expression not changing though his element almost automatically reached out to her and started caressing her with a soft summer breeze which easily brought her relief. The winter had made her body feel cold and uncomfortable even though the heating had been standing on.
With his usual and nonchalant grace Jeong softly sat down in the lotus position. 'How have you been?' He asked in a smooth and pleasant tone.
Sunako had to look up at him even though they were both sitting on the ground. Her expression didn't change as she answered him. 'I've been better, but thank you for asking.'
He softly shook his head as he started talking again. 'Sunako,I have decided to start teaching you how to handle air. Although I've realized that it's not your ability that is causing you to be sick I think it may be able to help you get better besides that it's quite fun to use air in any way you want, it might enliven you.'
Sunako nodded and without realizing it herself she flashed a smile at him. Jeong smiled back at her happy to see her expression change for the first time in a week. 'We'll start tomorrow.' He said still smiling before standing up in a supple manner and walking out of the door in his everlasting gracefulness.
Sora softly continued talking not exactly comfortable with what he was doing. And not exactly comfortable with who he was talking to. He disliked talking to Mary but this guy was 1000 times worse. When he was finally was finished with talking he looked nervously up at the person before him. If the person didn't find his reason good his head wouldn't be staying on his shoulder.
The man before him had his long blond hair in a braid and his forest green eyes hid a smile which rarely left the man's face. 'I see.' Amon simply said his usual playful smile gracing his face again.
Jeong and Sunako were sitting in the gym preparing for whatever they were going to do. 'Let's first have an ordinary sparring match after that we'll start with your ability. ' Jeong smiled while standing up. He took her hand pulling her up. 'And take the sparring match a bit seriously okay? Otherwise things are going to get bad.' He added while taking in his position for the fight.
She just nodded not being able to hide the smile she could feel coming on. She loved sparring even if she lost. Which she probably would. But she couldn't bring herself to care for that. This was the first time she sparred with Jeong. It almost made her feel …..happy. Also she took her position. She was surprised when suddenly Cassian appeared out of nowhere to start a countdown.
'Ready,' Both Sunako and Jeong nodded when they felt Cassian his questioning gaze upon them.
'Set,' As Cassian spoke the word Jeong and Sunako steadied their feet getting ready for the fight they were both looking forward to.
'Go!' Sunako immediately flew forward at the sound of the word her fighting style being the aggressive type. A fist speeded forward colliding with the palm of Jeong who immediately tackled her while his body was already preparing itself for a low kick. Sunako However immediately rolled out of his reach jumping up the moment she was safe. Immediately she had to avoid a knee which was aiming for her at the moment quite vulnerable stomach. But she didn't manage to get out of his way fast enough though she been able to create some distance making the impact not as bad.
She lowered herself working at a fast pace and did a perfect backwards somersault rising again the moment she was back again in her original position. She did a high kick almost kicking Jeong in the face. Fortunately he immediately moved back before her feet moved past him with an amazing speed with the little distance of 1 centimeter (0,4 inch). He grabbed her feet pulling her forward and making her lose her balance causing her to fall. She fell backwards almost hitting her head badly against the wooden floor of the gym. Jeong grabbed her hand just in time and quickly pulled her up before he himself lost his balance. She landed in his chest by the strong pull of his hands. Jeong had to hold in a soft chuckle when he saw how red she became.
He lowered himself a little till his lips brushed past her ear and softly whispered into it. 'Good job.'
The blush disappeared as the words of praise hit her. She smiled up at him. A true genuine smile for the first time in a week time. His eyes widened before the warm feeling of love hit him. He smiled back at her. He kind of felt like her protector. From the moment when he saw her as a kid he had felt the need to make her happy. Maybe it was because her happiness had always seemed so fragile. He shook his head,what was he thinking. He should be helping her with her ability. With his usual grace and serene smile he let go of her and sat down again in lotus position. She joined him almost immediately by also sitting down in the very same position. When she looked around for a moment she realized that Cassian had disappeared again.
'You have become a good fighting opponent. That's one of the very basic you need before learning to control any element at all. For air there aren't any more rules. Air stands for movement ,freedom ,honesty and patience. It's a calm and serene element used with multiple purposes. It can be used for defense, attack and healing making it quite a powerful element. It's connected to the 4th chakra, The Anahata or The heart chakra. It's location is at the center of the heart,And it's function is emotion. It stands for unconditional love, forgiveness, centered and peaceful, openness to receive and give, compassion,trust,loving and meaningful relationships. Of course that's only when the chakra is balanced. You shouldn't have too much problems with learning to control it seeing how it has taken a liking to you which you can make out by the fact that there always seems to be a breeze around you.'
Sunako stared at him. 'That's a mouthful.'
Yeong smiled. 'Yes it is. Look at my finger.'
He pointed up his forefinger where a miniature hurricane had started to appear. Sunako gasped in awe. 'That's amazing!'
He laughed at her childish expression. 'No it isn't. It's quite easy actually. Just try to imagine currents gathering at your finger. She did as he said but nothing happened. He just smiled. 'Try visualizing it.' She closed her eyes as she tried again . When she opened her eyes again they immediately widened. On her finger there was a hurricane ten times a big as that of Jeong.
'I said it would be easy, didn't I?'
Sunako just nodded.
Kyouhei, Yuki, Takenaga ,Ranmaru and Cassian looked up at their work. Sunako's room was beautifully decorated. There was a huge Christmas tree and light everywhere. There were lots of Other decorations like a Santa Claus climbing up and down a ladder. Those kind of things were standing in every corner of the room. Garlands were hung everywhere and a huge cake was standing on the table. They almost immediately hid themselves when they heard footsteps in the hallway. The slide door was pushed open revealing Sunako's shocked face. They jumped out of their respectable hiding places and screamed loudly.
