Ayoko scooped the last piece of chocolate cake onto her spoon; she didn't even finished chewing it before she was up on her feet and following her brother out of the dinner hall. She followed him around most days now, even when her friends Yuki and Katase had asked her to join in playing her favourite chasing game, kiss chase with the other boys in her year. She did want to take part in the games her friends were in but she was too worried about her brother, his whole personality had changed since they had started the school, somehow she felt it was more than him just being nervous about being here, there had to be more, there had to be a reason why he shut himself away and she was going to find out what it was, even if he told her to leave him alone.
She tiptoed around the corner as her brother placed his books into his locker, just then she noticed the Wolfclaw twins approaching him.
"Hey Kiyoshi, where have you been, we've been looking for you, you wouldn't be avoiding us would you?" Katio asked as he leaned himself against the pale green lockers. Kiyoshi shook his head in silence.
"We're going to the lake, we thought you'd want to come to" Yori smiled.
Ayoko watched as the boys leaned over her baby brother, why would they ask him to go to the lake in the middle of a school day? She thought to herself.
"Come on then" Katio began to walk down the hall towards the purple haired wizard, Ayoko quickly slid into the end classroom, ducking down as she kept the door open a jar.
Kiyoshi held his head down as Yori took hold of his arm, the boys walked past the class in silence. Ayoko couldn't see her brothers face, his dark blue haired covered his eyes. She crawled forward, placing her head against the wooden door. Katio stopped halfway down the hall, his brother turned around with a questioning look on his face; the dark haired wizard waved his hand, ordering him to continue without him. Katio walked back towards the class, Ayoko remained still as he approached. He paused in front of the door; the dark wizard looked through the glass of the classroom door. He suddenly noticed Ayoko's purple hair; he smirked as he tapped quietly on the glass.
Ayoko looked up to see the blue eyed demon staring down at her, she stood. The pair stared at one another until Katio broke the silence.
"Looking for someone Ayoko?" he smiled.
"My brother, why are you taking him to a lake?" she frowned.
"To see if he can swim" the dark haired wizard whispered through the glass, his breath steamed up against the panel between the two wizards.
Ayoko's eyes widened as her memory flashed backed to the time Kiyoshi had fallen through the ice, she took hold of the door handle but the Wolfclaw mage had already began to close it, she pulled with all strength as tears began to fall down her flushed face.
"He can't swim, he can't swim Katio, please don't, please, he can't swim" she pleaded as the door clicked shut.
"Good, that should make it more interesting" he smirked as he placed his hand over the key hold.
Ayoko punched the panelled glass as the dark haired wizard walked away.
"Leave him alone, Katio don't you dare hurt him!" she screamed as she pulled harder on the door handle.
The room suddenly became dark; the purple haired wizard paused as she felt a draft touch the strand of her long hair. She could feel someone else in the room with her.
"Who's there?" she cried.
A small giggled filled the air in response to her question, the nervous wizard backed herself up to the wall as she glanced around the room, there at the far end of the classroom stood a dark, red eyed shadow. Ayoko frowned as she noticed the figure took a shape of a small boy, a sick looking boy, it looked as though all the happiness in him had been drained away, nothing but anger remained. The dark shadow brushed its self over the desks as it came towards her, Ayoko could feel her whole body shaking, sweat poured from her brow, what was she afraid of? It was just another spirit, yes it was dark but she knew people that crossed over couldn't really hurt you, what was this magic?
A burning bright light shone out in front of the shaking wizard, the spirit screamed as the light filled the room.
"Ayoko" Hera's calm voice called out.
The purple haired wizard stood up and ran into the arms of her God, tears poured down her soft cheeks as she clung onto Hera's white satin dress.
"They've taken him, they've taken my brother Hera" the small child chocked.
The beautiful, shinning woman ran her fingers through the child's hair, as she hushed soothing words to her.
"Then we should go and look for him together"
The sobbing child looked up to the glowing God; she wiped away her falling tears as she nodded. A smile ran across her face. The darkness may have its hold on her baby brother but so long as she loved him, she knew there would always be light for him to find, he just needed to look a little harder within himself.
Hera began transforming while Ayoko pushed open the window; she climbed on to her God's back, who was now a large eagle. The purple haired wizard clung onto the soft feathers as Hera flew through the window and began soring the skies.
The goddess and child searched for hours over the land but couldn't find her brother or the two Wolfclaw twins anywhere, Ayoko felt her eyes becoming heavy as the stars began to light up the sapphire sky.
"We should return home" Hera advised.
"We can't, we need to find him" the young child cried.
"Your magic has almost gone, you need to rest"
"But…I can't leave him out there"
"It'll be alright Ayoko, it'll be alright" the goodness soothed as she changed course and took them home.
"Where have you been?" Erza cried as her daughter walked through the door.
The child stood in the middle of the room biting her lip, tears began to slowly pour down her face.
"What…what's wrong?" her mother rushed to her side, taking her into her arms.
"It's Kiyoshi…" she began.
The back door opened as Ayoko began to tell her mother what had happened.
"What happened to you, you're soaking wet?" Jellal asked, his voice drifting from the kitchen.
Ayoko pushed away from her mother's arms and raced towards the kitchen, there in front of the door stood her brother. His clothes dripping wet, his blue hair flat, nothing but the end of his white tattoo could be seen. The purple haired wizard ran towards him, taking him in her arms, she needed to feel him, to know that it was really him. Kiyoshi pushed his sister off him and threw his bag down.
"Why do you always have to get in the way, I said I was fine, stop trying to look after me!" he screamed as he ran out of the room and up the stairs.
"What's going on?" Erza asked as she entered the kitchen.
Her parents stared at her for answers, Ayoko had none. She placed her head down.
"I'll go and check on him" her mother broke the silence, as she left the room.
Jellal kneeled down in front of his daughter who had covered her face but he could still see her silent tears falling, he wrapped his strong arms around her and picked her up, he hugged her as she allowed her cries to fill the room.
"Why does he hate me so much, all I want to do is look after him" she sobbed into her father's shoulder.
"Sometimes we have to step back and allow people to find their own paths, he doesn't hate you, he just wants you to trust in him" her father whispered as he moved her long purple hair from her face.
Ayoko moved her head to the side so she was looking in to her father's deep green eyes, she knew in her heart she didn't trust her brother to look after himself.
"But what if he gets hurt?" she questioned.
"You need to believe he'll be strong enough to fight through it" he smiled as he softly kissed her warm, moist cheek.
"Thanks dad" she smiled, as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
Ayoko looked down from where she was being held; she noticed her brother's school bag open. His art work had fallen out. She lifted herself higher to get a better look; there on one of her brother's sheets was the dark shadow boy she had seen in the classroom.
