Ookami- Back again!

-Chapter 4-

"Hello, my name's Korosu, also known to my family/friends as Koro, please do not confuse me and Koroshi, our names are similar. And this stiff guy here next to me is Star."

"My name is Starot."

Korosu rolled his eyes and mocked whispered to Krad and Satoshi.

"Star's no fun."

"I can hear you."

"Well it's true! Ain't it true?"

Korosu looked at Krad and Satoshi, the two didn't really know if it was true or not, nor did Satoshi really care.

Korosu (Not to be mixed with Koroshi, their names are too similar) was going to be training Krad.

And Starot was going to be training Satoshi.

Korosu suddenly slapped his fist down on his hand, mimicking the action Ookami had done just a while ago.

"Oh yeah, I just remembered! We haven't been properly introduced!"

The wind demon cleared his throat and gave them a sweeping bow.

"I am Korosu, and you?"

Satoshi started them off. He simple gave a stiff reply of "I'm Satoshi…" before going back to being quiet.

Krad was a bit more animated. He spread his wings out wide and flicked his hair over his shoulder before giving an elegant bow.

"Ore-sama wa Krad." He said as pure arrogance dripped off every word. (Please don't ask me to translate that…)

Satoshi twitched. Starot raised an eyebrow and Korosu smiled happily.

Starot stepped forward and bowed formally.

"I am Starot, nice to meet you."

Korosu was a red haired wind demon with dragon-like wings and a red tail. He seemed pretty cheerful.

Starot on the other hand, he had blue hair that was pretty fluttery looking and couldn't get held back, even with the headband he was always wearing. He had this no-nonsense air around him and even Satoshi had to admit he was kinda stiff.

So…first off, Krad's lesson!

Krad's Lesson

They stood in a field as the air was still all around them. Korosu was facing Krad with his hands held in front of him.

"I'm an Air user and mine evolved to using Wind, for you, we don't know so I'm just going to help you learn to actually use your powers, I'll teach you wind since it's easiest of the different uses of air. By the way, you're stuck with me since we have practically no other Air user in our circle of friends."

Krad simply nodded.

"Hold your hands out in front of you like I am."

Krad complied.

"Start bringing your hands back close to your body while imagining the air shifting with your hands. Then bring your hands out again and repeat again and again. Remember to picture the air moving towards you as your hands move towards you."

Krad did as he said and after a few minutes Satoshi saw that the grass was starting to bend forwards and back with the movement of Krad's hands, or rather the wind blowing around them was blowing the grass forwards and back, his other half began waving his arms faster and the wind got stronger.

Then, with a grin the psychopathic one suddenly changed the direction of his hands and made a circular movement above his head. The wind began swirling in a circle and before you knew it, a mini-tornado was forming.

Korosu was watching on and seemed to be really proud of his student, it's amazing for someone to learn so fast (but then again, Krad is used to using magic so it was pretty easy) then he waved his own hand in the air and dispelled Krad's wind.

The air became still once more.

Krad blinked. How had the other broken all his wind with just one hand! Oh wait, yeah, Koro is a wind user who had more experience.

"Wow, you're good Krad-san, you wanna try learning some of my tricks or work on you own to make your own stuff?"

"I can do both can I not?"

"Sure."

The two walked off…or rather, they flew off. Thus leaving Satoshi and Starot all along in the little field.

The older male turned to look at the other blue haired earth user. Satoshi was playing with his tail again, he still couldn't get around to accepting that he now had a tail.

"Let's get this over with." Starot said tonelessly as he knelt to sit on the grass.

Satoshi followed his movements.

Satoshi's Lesson

"So you're an Earth user." Starot said simply.

Satoshi nodded. He still didn't really get it but that was the element they had told him he had.

"Are you good with plants?" The elder teen asked.

"Relatively." Satoshi responded.

"Place your hands on the ground, we'll begin with seeing if you can put your magic into the plants and ground. For Earth users they usually either manipulate the ground itself, or plants, I'm a plant user, we don't know what you are yet so we'll try seeing which you're better at melding your magic with."

Satoshi placed his hands down and faced the grass. Now what? All magic he'd known so far was the type Krad used through his body, and all those hurt his body. Humans weren't meant to channel such energy, not unless they were special in some way…apparently, becoming part animal made it possible…

"Try to call the earth and grass towards yourself. Imagine them being attracted to your hands."

Satoshi tried. For a long time there was only silence.

'Why's nothing happening?'

Apprehension came and the Hikari heir began to wonder if this was all some mistake. His heart beat faster and harder as his chest constricted and he gasped in frustration.

Starot looked at the other boy worryingly. There were beads of sweat rolling down his face now. Satoshi's dark blue eyes were getting more and more narrowed into a glare as his arms began to tremble from their place against the ground.

The demon's eye widened as he suddenly realized what was happening.

"Wait! Satoshi-san!" He grabbed the other boy and flung him up and away from the earth.

The second Satoshi's hands left the ground it exploded underneath them. Starot muttered a couple of swears before shielding the younger boy with his body.

The shaking finally quieted down and the earth settled back as the two hit the ground again. Satoshi was wide-eyed and staring at what was once a calm smooth field but was now filled with large cracks and small elevations of rock and earth.

"W-what happened?" Was his first out loud thought.

"Your power built up but it couldn't be released, the pressure was trapped in your body and was shot out in one blast when your hands left the ground that was acting as your focus…ow…"

"Are you alright!"

Starot got up and finally Satoshi saw the other boy clearly. He was bleeding from several large openings all along his left arm and back.

"I'm fine, I just got cut by the rocks…"

"You are not fine, you're hurt!"

Satoshi got up and grabbed his sensei by the uninjured arm and attempted to drag him back to the house.

"I told you, I'm fine, you're the one who needs medical attention at the moment."

"What are you-"

It was then that Satoshi fainted from mass energy loss.

Risa was nervous. She was sitting on a beach, waiting for her 'sensei' to show up. So far she'd been there for a while and yet he wasn't here yet.

Riku sat next to her younger twin and held her hand to comfort her.

"Maybe he lost track of time, I know you do that all the time Risa."

"Yeah…maybe…"

Risa was so jittery her ears twitched and waggled like they were high off something.

A lot of scenarios ran through her head.

Her sensei wouldn't come.

She would utterly fail at everything.

Her sensei would be really mean.

She would mess up and hurt someone.

The brown haired girl was beginning to get dizzy from all the thoughts.

SPLASH

One of Risa's rabbit ears jerked towards the direction of the sound.

Riku had also noticed and was scanning the ocean for that odd splash, so out of tune with the waves that rose and fell along the beach shore.

SPLASH

The twins looked and they saw…what had to be the most awe inspiring sight for a young girl.

The long blue-green hair flowed behind the figure as the sunlight reflected off the scales every time they dove above the water for a few seconds. The long fish tail flailed elegantly as they twisted themselves through the large waves to where the two sisters were watching with wide eyes.

SPALSH

"It's…a mermaid…" Risa said at last.

"I'm a GUY!" The 'mermaid' shouted and the twins jumped and broke out of their trance.

Once the person dragged themselves onto the shore the twins got their first good look at him.

He was…beautiful…

The water dripped down his face and bare chest almost enchantingly while his tail was glittering in the sunlight. The past waist-length ocean colored hair was flowing smoothly around his lithe body despite the fact that it was completely wet. Large fins came out from where a human's ears should be to frame his face.

Risa was staring. Riku simply stared. The person was glaring at the two of them.

"Okay…which one of you is Risa?"

Risa yelped and raised her hand in the air. The person glanced at her before nodding.

"Anyway, I'm Fen, sorry for being late but the idiot who asked me to come and train you neglected to tell me which beach you would be waiting at so I had to check them all."

He then flopped to the ground exhausted from swimming everywhere.

Risa was trying to resist the urge to reach out and touch his fish scales to see if they were real. As if sensing her thoughts Fen glanced up at them from the ground before muttering 'Oh just go ahead and do it then.'

Risa practically squealed with glee (no wait…yeah she DID squeal with glee) before pouncing forwards and poking, stroking and marveling at Fen's bottom half…

(Dude...that sounds so…kinky…XD)

: / / . a r t / F e n – i s – – 1

Riku finally spoke, "Um…Fen-san…are you…"

"You can call me a merman if you really want I don't really care that much…just as long as we're all clear that I am a GUY." Came the tiered reply.

Risa finally stopped admiring the fish and blushed as she realized how rude it might have been.

"Ano…to introduce ourselves I'm Risa and this is my sister Riku."

Fen pushed himself up with his hands and smiled for the first time that they've known him.

"Well then, once my energy comes back a bit I can start your training Risa-san, and what will Riku-san be doing?"

"She's going to be learning Fire magic."

"Ah…it's the twin thing right? All twins have either similar or opposite abilities...but they're always related."

The three chatted a bit while Fen 'recharged' his energy supply by resting and soon he was back up and about…rather up and dragging himself along the sand.

"Sigh…why are land dwellers so dependant on their legs…hold on a sec…"

Fen started glowing and when the light died away his tail was gone and he now had legs…and a pair of shorts that were the same color as his fins.

(Don't ask me where they came from…I really don't know either…maybe they were hidden in Mallet-space)

"Whoa! How'd you do that?" Riku exclaimed.

"Skill." Fen said with a grin.

The two girls followed Risa's new sensei and walked over to a rocky place along the shoreline.

"Okay Risa-san lets start with the basics, can you scoop some water into your hands and hold it here?"

Risa knelt by the edge and formed a cup with her hands but she kept spilling the water through some cracks in her fingers and Fen had to correct her several times.

"Um…excuse me but I don't really get the point…"

"Well, you need to know how to hold water, get more familiar with it before you actually start on manipulating it, I'm only teaching you that much the rest you'll have to learn yourself." Fen replied as he made a small stream of water rise from the ocean and pool into his cupped hands.

Risa and Riku 'Ooh'ed and 'Aah'ed at the way Fen made the water droplets float around them. Fen grinned at them. Annoying as human women or even just women in general were, it was always nice to see that people appreciated his art.
