Chapter 10: Takashi

Chapter 10: Power increase

Knock Knock

"Can I come in?" I was looking for Takashi because we rarely talk and I'd thought we could talk a little at least. Naoki told me he was in the recording studio. I poked my head through the door and saw Takashi sleeping. I walked in silently and saw he was sleeping on his notebook, he carrys it around with him everywhere. I saw notes, phrases. I did hear that he writes most of the songs. I carefully picked up the notebook whilst trying to not wake him up. Then a hand grabbed my wrist. I came face to face with Takashi, his angry face scaring me. When he finally recognised me he looked guilty and carefully took his notebook back as if I might hit him.

"I um, came because we don't really talk much so I thought we should get to know eachother. You know, as friends."

"Uh..sure. I was just writing some stuff down for our new um..song" He yawned. Yeah, totally commited.

"...I know! We could head around the beach and the dock for inspiration!" His eyes widened.

"What if someone sees us?" He asked.

"Put your hood on, don't worry. The docks and the beach isn't as busy as the town center." I smiled, reassuring him.

*********

"WHEEE! I love the beach! Its so calm and the ocean is so beautiful in the morning." I watched the waves land on the shore. I broke out of my daydream and looked over at Takashi beside me.

"Getting any inspiration?" I joked and threw sand at him.

"Hey!" He ran after me and caught up to me. He grabbed my waist and I screamed playfully.

"Get off me!!" He turned me around to face him. We finally calmed down "So um, did you actually get some inspiration?" I took his hands away from me, remembering Haru. Actually I didn't know what our relationship was but I liked him and I didn't want to ruien anything.

"Uh, Yes. I did" He replied.

"Okay great. Let's go" I grabbed my shoes.

As soon as we got home I ran upstairs and locked the door.

"Whats going on..." I looked down at my hands. They were glowing! I freaked out and tried everything: running it under water, hitting it, shaking it even kissing it. I gave up and slumped on the bed. I then realised that I didn't try what I should've done ages ago! I cleared my mind and thought about stars...

I opened my eyes, it was gone! What was it anyway? I gotta ask Sola. But before I could do anything a yellow glow lifted me up into the air and a blue light came from my hands and starry glint appeared in my eyes. I opened my eyes, I hadn't realised I closed them. I was on the floor and felt lighter. I walked downstairs.

"Hey guys" I said sleepily. I only heard silence "Guys?" I turned a full circle and saw them all gaping at me "What?"

"I think you'd better look in the mirror" I ran to the nearest full length mirror. I had silver streaks in my dark hair and had glitter all over, its unremovable. And my eyes had gone lighter and I had a star tattoo on the left side of my neck. I covered it with my hair. And the thing that puzzled me most was a star shaped locket, it looked like it could open. I decided to open it later when I was alone. I glanced at Sola for explanations but he shook his head saying "Not now".

"What has happened to you? Is it possible you've gone more beautiful?" Naoki lightly kissed the top of my hand. I smiled "We gotta call Haru over" He started getting his phone out " Oh yeah by the way, his nickname is Haru. His real name is Kirito-Tomoe."

"Why does he get called Haru?"

"He watched an anime or something and likes the name Haruko but its girly so he changed it to Haru instead"

"Oh" I let him call him over whilst I dragged Sola into the kitchen saying to everyone we're gonna get drinks.

"Sola, why did I change into" I gestured to myself "this?!" He casually leaned on the table looking at me.

"You dont like it?" He asked.

"What? Of course I do but, how did I turn like this?"

"When the mage that posseses the Power of The Stars turn 16 on July 1st they turn into their true form. In your case, you turned into a beautiful sparkling silver star. But you stayed half yourself because you're half human." I understood until that part.

"Excuse me?"

"Your mother is Human, your dad is a light mage. No?"

"I-I dont know. My dad and my mum had a divorce a while back." He was silent for a bit.

"You're special. Look inside that locket, it'll explain your true nature and power that it increased for you."

The locket! Of course..wait increase?

"Did you say Increase?"
