The next morning Shiro woke up to the school alarm with an unmeasurable amount of pain all over his body.
Shiro: "Who knew old people had this much strength in them? My body has been hurting since yesterday and it shows no amount of stopping."
Ai: "SHIRO!"
Shiro: "Scared"
Ai: "Hurry up Yui is here waiting for you."
Shiro: "Ok, I'll be there in a minute."
Yui: "Good morning, Shiro."
Shiro: "Good morning."
Shiro: "Damn, she seems to be in quite a good mood today."
Kageboshi: "Hey kido! You hear me?"
Shiro: "There you are you've been sleeping for exactly 24 hours. What is wrong with you man?"
Kabegoshi: "No, I've been asleep for only 20 hours, but I staid up during your so called punishment because it looked entertaining."
Shiro: "How can that show of brutality be entertaining to you?!"
Kageboshi: "Well that doesn't matter right now. What matters is that you keep an eye out for that Chiyo guy or whatever he was called."
Shiro: "You're right he possesses a pretty big threat to us right now, but I think I can handle him better next time."
Kageboshi: "Don't get full of yourself now kid. You might have defeated him badly the first time, but you only did so because of Onimaru. Summoning Onimaru requires a whole lot of energy and your body can not withstand that kind of pressure a lot of times."
Shiro: "If that's the case than what should we do?"
Kageboshi: "For now we need to focus on syncing with each other if we want to stand a chance."
Shiro: "Syncing?"
Kageboshi: "Let me explain it shortly so you understand."
Kageboshi: "When a human hosts a demon he gains access to the demons power, but if you want to utilize them our souls need to be in sync."
Kageboshi: "The more in sync we are the more power you can get from me, but there's a catch."
Shiro: "What catch?"
Kageboshi: "Demons use Dark Energy which can corrupt the hosts soul the more it is used and turns him into a mindless zombie."
Shiro: "Does that mean that I risk losing myself the more I use your powers? That's self-destruction!"
Kageboshi: "Yes it is, but there's a way for you to neutralize these side effects."
Shiro: "Really then tell me."
Kageboshi: "Basically like Demos use Dark energy humans have their own affinity for each element."
Kageboshi: "The only restriction is that each human receives they're element the day they're born and can't learn beyond that.-"
Shiro: "So what does this exactly mean, I don't follow?"
Kageboshi: "Will you at least let me finish?"
Shiro: "Ok, sorry."
Kageboshi: "Basically the more you strengthen your element the les damage you take from Dark Energy."
Shiro: "I get it now, but I also don't."
Shiro: "What do I do to master my element and more importantly, how do I know what element I possess."
Kageboshi: "We'll worry about that once we return to your home, but for now pay attention to your girlfriend she seems like she want to tell you something."
Shiro realized that he hadn't paid attention at her all this time they were walking.
Shiro Thinking: "Sh*t I didn't listen to anything. What was she talking about?"
Yui: "What I meant to say is... Thank you Shiro, for being with me. I really love you."
Shiro amazed by her face and cute smile and also clueless to what she was saying got remembered once again why he loved her.
Shiro: "Blushing" "No need to worry. I love you too."
Basically the whole walk went silence after that till they reached the school, but that happy silence would end as soon as they reached school.
Shiro: "So you're here?"
In front of him was staying the one person who momentarily possessed a threat to them.
Chiyo: "Of course I'm here why shouldn't I be?"
Shiro: "I swear if you try to pull anything funny again and put Yui in danger, I will personally break every bone on your body till you crawl and beg for my forgiveness."
Chiyo: "Oh, cool down tuff guy. We both know last time was pure luck, but for now you're not my priority. Someone else has taken that duty at hand."
Chiyo: "If I were you I'd start saying my final prayers."
Shiro: "You're bluffing. I can clearly see that you're hardly standing."
Shiro: "Did I really beat you up that badly?"
Chiyo: "You cocky bastard. I wish I could smash your head right now, but as I said before someone else has taken that task."
Kageboshi: "This guy isn't bluffing."
Kageboshi: "If he was he would had pulled another sneaky stunt to lure us out by now."
Chiyo: "Well, bye then. I hope you make it till the sports festival because I would love to beat you there."
Shiro: "Strange I don't remember hitting you in the head."
Shiro: "You really think I would lose to you on anything?"
Chiyo: "We'll see."
Kageboshi: "We need to be ready for anything that's coming."
Shiro: "My top priority right now is to protect Yui and I will start by taking him down."
Kageboshi: "That's the spirit kid."
Yui: "HEY SHIRO!"
Yui: "Hurry up or you'll be late."
Shiro: "Ok sorry."
Yui: "By the way was that Chiyo Tanaka? Do you know each other?"
Shiro: "You can say we do, but not in the friendly manner."
Yui: "Why is that?"
Shiro: "Let's just say that he deserves a good long beating."
Yui: "Whoa! I wonder what he must have done to anger you so much."
Shiro: "That I can't tell you."
In that moment a spark of curiosity shined on Yuis face, but Shiro didn't dare tell her because that would just drag her unreasonably in the matter.
