Last time, Natasha was having her first day at school in years. She encounters Keenan Higashikuni, a guy who seems to have it in for Natasha.
As class went on I felt a weird presence in the air. It was the same from last night. As classes ended, I ran into Mariah and Sam again. Hey you are the new girl,Natasha Higashiyama? Mariah asked. Yes I am, who are you? I asked. I am Mariah Maruya, nice to meet you. Mariah replied. Nice to meet you too, Mariah. I replied. As I smiled, Keenan walking to his next class. Keenan, could you at least try to be nice to her she is your classmate and partner for the test of the school year. Mariah replied. We're classmates nothing more, Mariah. Don't act like your so familiar with me. Keenan replied. He walks off. Hey who p*ssed in his Cheerios? I asked. Mariah laughed. I never heard of that saying before. I like it. Mariah replied. A friend of mine from the my all girl prison I was in. Her name is Akane. She would always use that phrase when people would provoke her. I replied. She sounds like a funny person. Mariah replied. She is, I wish I could see her and her little sister again. I replied. Mariah, where are you? Sam asked. Oh, you are the girl from this morning who pulled that amazing feature. Sam replied. That's me in a nutshell. I will always break that norms of what people see fit. I replied. As I said that, the presences appeared again but I saw the sky turned dark. The students became frantic and they started to panic. I took advantage of this so I could get away. Chikara, what am I seeing right now? I asked. Well, you are witnessing an attack on the school grounds. Chikara replied. I know that, don't get smart with me. I replied. Natasha, you have to take out the source of the problem. Chikara replied. Alright, let's do this, Chikara. I replied. Soon as I transformation I turned into a shadow. I ran outside and saw those two girls again. You two again? I asked. Who could be causing something so cruel to happen? Mariah asked. I turned from the corner of my eye a saw a shadow in the distance. I looked again and the shadow moved and tried to attack the water elemental user. I pushed her out the way. Why did you push me out the way? Sam asked. The mastermind of the scheme is hiding in the shadows. I replied. I looked again and I saw someone come through a ripple and attacked the fire elemental user. She grabbed his wrist and swished it. You are stronger than you look. I replied. What I just did to wrist was child's play. Mariah replied. As she pulled him out his portal ripple, he summoned a sword cutting her arm letting him go. As soon as I saw that. I rushed over to see if she was ok. Are you ok? I asked. I am fine but I have seen that power before he did it. Mariah replied. Who is he? As I turned he tried to slit my throat. I summoned my sword and tapped his sword lightly and an intense clash of power came out. His shadow appearance faded. He wore a black cloak. He had hair the color of night and eyes the color indigo. We started clashing swords moving at such an accelerated pace. Is she keeping up with him? Sam asked. It would take at least the both of us to take him on. As I was fighting him, I felt something was off about him. From the distance, I sensed another presence. I never thought he would meet a person who can keep on par with him. Requiem of the Undead King! Kamigoroshi yelled. Scatter in the mist, Midnight Rose! I yelled. That attack carried and knocked out the other guy from earlier. A girl with blonde hair and wearing gothic lolita walks up and snapped her finger. That attack dispersed. I see you inherited the ability to use that hellish blade. Clementine replied. What is it to you? I asked. Another mandrel carrying the bloodline of that cursed woman. Clementine replied. Are you supposed to make me or the other feel inferior to you? I asked. This power bestowed upon me for a reason. I replied. I pointed my sword at her saying, "If you think your words are supposed to oppress me?" " You have another thing coming, blondie!" Clementine looked in the distance and walked away. She snapped her finger and a portal opened. Acedia Magic, used in this age and time? Chikara thought. Come on boys, we were being watched by a very powerful enemy, she could come out in the distance and attack. Clementine replied. What? Kamigoroshi asked. Save your blood-lust for another time. You will fight her soon enough. Clementine replied. From the distance, I sensed a very powerful presence that was masked quite well. The girl wielding that Ira sword as powerful. Ami replied. She is one hell of an optimist, Natasha Higashiyama. Kaori replied. As the fighting stopped, school let out early from the tremors. The three of us disappeared. We walked away into the crowd and left out the school like everyone else. The three of us met up again. Hey Natasha can we go to your house? Mariah asked. Why? I asked. Well, you seem like your shrouded in mystery and my curiosity is running wild. Mariah replied. I'm sorry Natasha, when she's intrigued she wants to know more. Sam replied. I mean you can come over to my house it's no big deal. As we walked together, we ran into India and Keenan. What did I tell you? India asked. I didn't acknowledge her presence. We have a common destination. I replied. Wait how do you know India? Keenan asked. I sighed and shook my head. We all walked to my house.
