Ayumi smirked on the inside while she pretened to be exasperated and afraid. Everyone fawned over her. "I'm so sorry about that!" One girl said, helping her up. "That was so strange. He never lashes out like that. Do you know him?" "Ayumi brushed herself off and nodded. "Yea. When we were kids." and i wasn't a lie. They had known each other since they were kids. They used to live near each other and play all the time untill they were ripped apart by their family's fueds. They were eventually driven to hate each other. Ayumi sat down in the back of the room. Out of the corner of her eye she saw the girl from yesterday watching her. "Hmp" She chuckled a little. It was after all only a memory supressor. Maybe it was trying to comeback now that she'd seen her. "Alright class! butts in seats!" Mrs. Nadeshiko yelled and everyone scrambled.

Kagomi was apalled at Tomonori's actions. How could he just lash out at that girl like that? Set that aaside, Kagomi felt as if she'd seen this girl before. Shaking the feeling, she looked forward and tried to pay attention to the lesson. She just couldn't bring herself to care. That look on Tomonori's face had been terrifying. It had been one of pure hatred. Kagomi found herself staring over at the new girl in wonder, trying to figure out why Tomonori disliked her so much. she didn't see anything wrong with her, in fact it seemed as if she was one of the nicest people ever. Kagomi rested her chin on her hand and continued to look around the classroom. "Ms. Ushio!" Ms. Nadeshiko snapped, pulling Kagomi's attention back to the front of the room. "Pay attenion." She said. "Sorry, Ms. Nadeshiko. I'm not feeling very well." And it was true. Kagomi had developed a very bad migraine. It felt as if someone was shoving an unseen railroad spike into her brain. "Go to the nurse." Ms. Nadeshiko nodded towards the door. Kagomi nodded and stepped out of the door. She hoped that she wasn't about to have a seisure. Her fears came true when she suddenly fell forward, her world turning black.

Tomonori sat in the office while the principal threatened to call the police, his parents, and blah blah blah. He wasn't really paying attention. He knew that whatever happened the company wouldn't let anything happen. All he wanted to do was drag Ayumi into some allyway and possibly murder her. That stupid sympathy trick she pulled he thought angrily. I'll get her back for this! "Kannagi! Pay attent--" He froze. Literally. Tomonori stood up. "Hello? Is this some kind of weird joke?" he said confused. The Principal just stood there, bent over his desk with his mouth open, and angry. What's going on? Tomonori ran out the door and into the nearest classroom. Everyone inside was frozen too. This has to have something to do with Ayumi! He ran down to his classroom to find her. Then he gasped at what he saw. He ran over to Kagomi who was lying on the ground and bent over her. "Kagomi! Kagomi can you hear me?!" Then he realized he could see her breathing. She wasn't frozen. "Hey Tomi-chan! What gives?! I'm trying to have a relaxing day at my new school and you had to do something wierd to get out of trouble?!" Tomonori stood up, angry. "Me?! Don't you mean YOU? What did you do to Kagomi?!" He took a step towards Ayumi with balled fists. Ayumi just smirked then she gasped and ran around tomonori to Kagomi.

"What are you doing?!" Tomonori yelled. Ayumi wished he would just shutup for once. "Her aura. It's rainbow!" Tomonori, confused, got angrier. "What the hell does that mean?!" "It's means she's doing this. She doesn't even know what she is. I wonder what triggered it." "Wait, wait, wait. Rainbow aura? Isn't that--" Ayumi nodded, solomnly. "She's the new Protector chosen by the gods!" Tomonori fell backwards in shock. "There hasn't been one in 300 years!" he choked out, "But that means that I'm--" Ayumi started laughing when his words trailed off. "Don't tell me? You're in love with her aren't you?!" She continued to laugh and Tomonori blushed. "If SHE loves YOU that would make you the new Keeper." then she turned to the side slightly and mummered to herself, "That would probably be why he's such a strong apponant. and why i can't see his aura. I always DID think that was strange." Then a gruff voice came from behind a corner a few feet down the hall. "Well this is all very interesting. I showed up at just the right time." The man stepped out from behind the wall. Ayumi gasped. "You!" she said, "You never paid me!" "I found a better supplier. And they want the girl. I think my boss would be happy to see that I got both the Protector AND the keeper." Tomonori stepped forward. "As if that would happen!" He yelled and the man laughed a deep "ho ho ho" kind of laugh. "Think fast!" He yelled, throwing a glowing orb towards Tomonori whoreached his hands out to catch it. "Kannagi wait!--" Ayumi screamed, but before he realized she said it he caught the orb and disapeared in a flash. The man walked forward towards Kagomi, pulling out another orb. "NO!" Ayumi yelled, "You're not taking her!" she bent and grabbed Kagomi's hand and they vanished, apearing in Ayumi's underground house from before.

Kagomi woke up in a bed. She blinked blearily and looked around. She was in a strange room, at a strange house. It was all very...strange. Kagomi stood up, stretching, and staggered forward, grabbing the wall for support. She was always very weak after a seizure, though she hadn't had one in years. I wonder why I suddenly had one... She thought as she made her way to the front room. The new girl from her class was sitting on a couch in the living room. "Where am I?" Kagomi asked, leaning against the wall to support her wobbling legs.

Ayumi heard Kagomi come in the room. "Where am I?" she asked. "You don't remember?" Ayumi asked shocked. She was sure that it would have triggered something, being back in the room.

"Well, this place kinda looks familiar, like I was here in a dream or something..." Kagomi tried to remember back. "Then again, these past few days have all kinda been a dream." She said, tapping her chin. "Well, in any case, I need to talk to Tomonori." Kagomi said, pushing herself off of the wall and stumbling weakly to what she thought was the front door.

Ayumi jumped up. "You need to rest" she said, leading her to the couch. "Just sit down, I'll get us some tea and explain things a bit."

"...And that's what I remember!" Kagomi finished her story, proud she could remember that much. "But I still have one question...where's Tomonori?"

"Where am I?" Tomonori thought, drowsily. When he opened his eyes it took a while for them to focus in on where he was. He was in a stone cell with bars. He tried to stand up, but he was stopped by a sharp pain on his wrists and ankles followed by the clinking of chains. Then he gasped, noticing the blood. The floor, the walls, and even the ceiling had blood on it. He tried to used his power to control the wind to slice the chains, but screamed in agony when it just hurt more. Footsteps were getting louder, closer. "Hello Kannagi. It's nice to finally see you in person." Tomonori's eyes widened. "You! You tricked me! What the hell is your problem!" "Problem?" The man laughed. "I see it as more of a helpful tool."

"Well.." Ayumi started. "I don't know. They took him and I don't know who that bastards master is." This whole situation was screwing with the way she liked to live. But she had to deal with it, because of how important these people were. Being blessed by the God of water and forming a contract with him caused that.

Kagomi sags back against the couch, confused. These past few days have been so crazy and she just didn't understand. "So...someone took Tomonori when I had my seizure...hmm..." Kagomi pondered to herself as her muddled brain tried to sort through all of this confusion. Suddenly, a thought pushed itself to the front of her brain. She jumped up with wide eyes. "Oooh! Tamaki's going to really mad if I don't come home tonight too!" She exclaimed. "Really, I have to go!" She turned to the girl.

Tamaki sighed, glancing at the clock as he tended to his mother, passed out on the couch. Where is Kagomi?! She should be home by now. She didn't come home last night. Maybe something happened to her... It was hard to have a younger sister who liked to run off. It was hard to have a younger sister in general, and sometimes Kagomi was extremely hard to contain, but he usually managed. She had turned out all right, with him practically raising her himself. Tamaki looked down at his mom in disgust. I can barely stand to look at her. If she's not yelling at me, she's abusing little Kagomi. Poor Kagomi. She's so fragile, so breakable. Almost like fine china. He shook himself out of his thoughts as pure fury rushed through his veins. Not only did she get abused at home, but bullying at school had started to get even worse. Tamaki didn't know if he could handle it. He had already dropped out of high school and was working three jobs just to keep them on their feet, in the small, barren apartment. He knew it wasn't right for Kagomi to live in such a place, but it was the only place he could afford. Tamaki shook himself out of his thoughts and looked back at the clock. I'm sorry, Kagomi.

"No!" Ayumi yelled, standing up and grabbing Kagomi's arm "You can't leave! They'll kill you! And trust me they won't hesitate to do so. This is the only place they can't find you because it's enchanted." She couldn't let her get killed. It was her duty to protect this girl as the contractor and she intended to do just that.

"I see it more as a helpfull tool." The man said, raising his hand. Wind wipped all around them. "W-What's going on?!" Tomonori yelled over the noise. He wasn't doing it. "I'd kill you now, but I have to get you two together!" The man also yelled over the noise. "But for now I can still do this!" the wind aimed all at Tomonori and sliced up his face, arms, legs, and torso. Tomonori screamed in anguish. The wind died down. Blood was oozing out of all of the slash marks. "W-why?" Tomonori asked, starting to feel dizzy from blood loss. "Because I can. And I don't want you interfering with my plans. It'll just get worse unless you tell me where the girl is." He said. Tomonori froze. He couldn't believe this. Kagomi was in trouble and even though it wasn't avoidable, he couldn't help but feel it was his fault somehow. Just before he passed out, he managed to growl, "I would never tell you where she is." "Hmm as expected. prepare yourself young Kannagi." He said, matter-of-factly and evil, walking away. Tomonori lay his head on the cold ground and the last thing he saw before passing out was his blood.
