Elemental School

Chapter 6 - Elements.

The orphanage, was small and barely had any employees. They didn't serve alot of food or water and not enough of housing materials, so people had to sleep on the floor. That's what I remember of Haruko saying. But how is that possible? Why would the Darkness's niece be around the orphanage? I remember she left to talk to Zailura personal, but with the power side, knowing. P.E, ended, and we were on our last period at school, where we had 40 minutes left of school. It was math. As I sat at my desk, twirling my pencil around, I just can't stop thinking of her being in the orphanage. Heh.. Just listen to myself. Saying orphanage so many times. I grip onto my pencil, as I just lean my chin at the palm of my left hand. I'm so tired. I remember what I asked to Haruko about at that time, but she didn't like that one bit.

"You were at that orphanage? Why are you there? Are you an orphan?" I ask, as I just kept asking with my questions. She sighs, as she glares at me, with those red eyes. She's not amused. "This is none of your business. I don't have a liking for you, so I don't think I should tell you all this. I'm darkness's niece, and I wouldn't be asking that to her. Be polite, would you?" Then she walked away from me. Shit. I messed up this time. I should've known. She's just like Darkness, ice-cold and shady. Or just like me. I should just kept my mouth shut. I should back off for a while, it doesn't matter to her anyway. But Zailura, looks like an innocent type of girl. I feel bad for her, of her being an orphan. Who knew orphans could be immortals.

Class just finished, and the hallway was packed with people. I had my backpack on me, as I was in front of the school, walking along the sidewalk. It was a bit windy, but was really sunny, as leaves were flying everywhere. I don't know what to do when I get home. Perhaps just unpack my stuff, eat, then go to sleep or something. I pull my hood downwards towards my face a bit more, as I block the sun from my eyes. I put my hands into my hoodie's pocket, as I could feel my hands touching each other in my pockets. I don't think I have enough money in my bank, either. About 10,000. 10,000 is short, 80% of the people in the city has over 50,000 dollars. My working hour isn't giving me alot of money now, because I don't attend alot because of school. You know what they say, education is better than money, which kinda got me hard to believe. It passed 10 minutes later, as I was in my apartment. I lay on my bed, with one of my leg dangling off the edge. I just stared at the ceiling, thinking about what I said with Haruko. I sit up from my bed, as I reach down and took my socks off. I stood up and walked out of my room, but when I was walking, I pass a mirror taller than me. I looked at it, as I had black shorts and a white t-shirt. I lost my pendant. I just stared at the spot where my pendant should be. The pendant is a head of a dragon, the one and only, Fire Dragon. There's only one type of element dragon and a much of them. Say an element, you name it. There's a dragon. All the dragons are the most powerful immortals ever. But I don't know what's stronger, dragons or Darkness. He has the power of three element dragons. Void, Darkness and Blood. Blood is an element that... Vampires like to absorb. It's a type of liquid element, I should say. I hear a doorbell ringing through my ears, as I look around me. That came from my door, right? Sounds like it. I sigh, as I take one last glance where my pendant should be, then I left my room. I unlocked my door and grabbed the handle. I twist it, and I pull the door, opening it. I look over at the door- WHAT?

Haruko was sitting in front of me, on a armchair while I sit on this couch in front of her, where a coffee table stood between us. Why is Haruko here?! "Haruko, So what brings you here?" I see her sigh, as she put a book on top of the coffee table. I couldn't read it upside down, so I tilt my head until I can properly read it. Elements. "I found this in my bag, so I thought I should show you it." I look at her eyes, as they were black. Her power side must've disappear. But I remember what she said, she can see what's going on, because they have the same mind and body. "Elements, huh." I pick up the book from the edge of it, as I open the book, flipping the pages. It's all about each specific element and explaining their details, special and weakness. A good book for stagiest. A list slip out of the book? I pick up the list, as I examine it. It's a list of elements:

Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Light, Darkness, Void, Blood, and Oxygen. Oxygen, is a rare element. It's rare and secret, and how does this list has this on? It steals the oxygen from any living species, plants, people, animals. But you can only steal from specific things or around the person using that power. But for advantage, you can fight them without oxygen or strike their own oxygen. But that's hard. "Listen.." What? I look up at her, as she glancing at the ground, with her arms behind her. "I'm sorry for my other side to treat you poorly. Even though I don't know what happened." She apologize, but she doesn't know what happened? I have to be honest. "It's fine." I can see her look up at me. "Your other side is shady, yet I understand. She reminds me of myself when I talk to people in public." She gave me the most warmest and cute smile I seen, nodding. "Thank you.." This is a good chance. I stood up, as I walk around the table, then I stood next to her. She watches me, with a curious face, as I sat on the armchair's railing. "Haruko." She looked at me, and I put myself near her ear. She smells nice, like cherry blossoms. "Do you have a crush on me?" I look at her, as she blushing, looking around. She stutters, trying to find an excuse. I smile. She does.. I feel my face turning warm, as she looks at me. Now her face got even more redder.. "Then, do you want to go out?" HUH? I never knew she would ask that.. I smile, as I kiss her at the forehead, which made her eyes widen. "Sure." And from that on, she just moved in with me, knowing that my crush is the one I'm going out with.

Yet, I don't know about her other side.
