Fighting Spirit (The Final Barrier)

Two Sides of A Warrior

180 Days Until Jiu Attacks

While Wayne and Jay were searching for Jiu's other half the others were getting use to bonding with their spirits. Adrian and Alex were laying in the grass relaxing while Ramona and Sapphire were busy talking to Madam Zari at a glass table. On opposite sides of the yard Saiken was staring daggers at Kevin to which he returned with an equally menacing glare. Ramona nudged Sapphire when she noticed the two boys glaring at one another

"I think your boyfriend is in a bad mood" she said with a smirk, Sapphire blushed and raised her hands shaking her head
"No No No No No!!" she said frantically "He's..he's not my boyfriend!" she exclaimed a little too loud. Everyone turned to look at Sapphire now which made her blush even more. She covered her face and put her head down on the table where they sat "Besides, he probably hates me now" Madam Zari and Ramona exchanged glances

"Why?" Ramona asked, Sapphire groaned

"He was upset that Wayne basically caused us to be in a situation where he had to kill Aurora" Sapphire looked like she was reminiscing on what she said to Kevin, regret was clear on her face. Madam Zari put a hand on her Sapphire's shoulder

"It's okay child" she cooed, sounding similar to Sapphire's spirit Ophelia. She sighed

"I told him it was his fault" she finally said, Ramona made a pained face

"Yeesh, you're cold blooded" Sapphire and Madam Zari gave Ramona a less than pleased look "My bad" Ramona said. Sapphire shook her head

"Anyway, he said he protected me but; I said I was going to be fine" she said leaning her head on her propped arm "Though, looking back I know Aurora would've killed me". Sapphire looked up at Ramona and saw a blue flaming aura around her. She looked at Madam Zari and saw the same blue flaming aura "Can I tell you guys a secret?" she asked. Madam Zari and Ramona nodded, before sighing again Sapphire spoke

"I have another ability that I haven't told you all about" Ramona raised an eyebrow with intrigue "I can see the reflection of thoughts...Well.." She thought for a second "For lack of a better description I can see a person's mindset in color form" Madam Zari nodded with understanding. "A happy or good mindset is  yellow or even a bright blue, one with many thoughts on love turns pink, anger is red, sadness is a dark blue or grey, and downright evil or bad thoughts are black" Ramona frowned

"Why are you telling us this now?" she asked, Sapphire looked like she was about to cry

"I saw that Aurora's color was a dark black.......She was going to try and kill me regardless" The gravity of what Sapphire said began to set in "Knowing this I still said what I said to Kevin...He hates me" she said, Ramona put her arm around Sapphire.

"I'm sure that he doesn't hate you" she reassured her "Just try and talk to him, we're gonna be here for six months no use hating each other" Sapphire looked unsure so Ramona decided to open up about herself as well "Listen, I get it; you've said some bad things and thinks he hates your guts. Believe it or not I have to do something similar" She said with a chuckle, Ramona turned to look at how Saiken was staring off into the African Wilderness.
"You see that majestic boy right there?" Sapphire looked past Ramona and glanced at Saiken, his long hair flowed with the wind and somehow the sun hit his eyes just right that made them sparkle. Sapphire frowned

"Saiken?" she asked, Ramona nodded

"He's my ex" she said casually, on that note Madam Zari got up and starting walking back inside the house

"I'm too old for this gossip, Imma take a nap while you all rest up for tomorrow" she said as she walked away, Ramona and Sapphire smirked as Madam Zari walked away. Sapphire raised an eyebrow
