Kaijudo: The Fire Within Me

Chapter 12

They cleaned my wounds and wondered about Doragon. "He said sister. He might be suggesting that they came from the same birth parent?" They all thought about it when the man I saw at my door, who I know now as Master Brightmore came in. "Suggesting from the blood from Ōkami and the fur samples from uh, Doragon. They are indeed similar. Yet different in nature. He might be her half-brother?" Master Nadia was examining me to see how I was able to do such things as I could. "She might be a cross between a creature, supposedly from the fire realm, a human and canine. Doragon is supposedly of the darkness realm. He is half human and canine." Master Brightmore asked how this was possible. "Some creatures in the realms can interbreed, but a human and a creature? No less a wolf, how is this possible?" I sat there listening to them discussing what I could be. All I knew, I hated Doragon. He can go burn! Chavez eventually woke up, he was sore but alive. He thank me for saving him. I'm still wondering if I can practice Kaijudo. "Maybe someone created her for a specific purpose." Master Jaha suggested. Created? Does that explain why I don't look like my family? Are they really my family? "How can someone create her if specific gene pools don't mix?" Master Nadia asked. "That is something we'll never know." Master Jaha responds. "What about Doragon? He is still on the loose." Master Chavez asked. "Do you wish to continue?" Master Kimora asked. I nodded. "Are you able to revert yourself to a human to do so?" I nodded. "Good, we will start tomorrow. Since your injuries have healed. We will see if you are worthy to become a duel master." I nodded. "Since her home was destroyed, she could stay here for her safety. And she can defend herself and others." Stay? "You can explore the temple to get used to the area." I nodded, just I was about to leave when Master Brightmore protested. I ignored him and kept walking. I still had the collar on. I wondered it will still be on after I turn human. After going somewhere private I did. It was still on, it was loose but it still worked. "Good enough." I saw a huge library full of what looked like books but were tablets. Each were sectioned off due to a symbol.

"Light civilization, Darkness civilization, Fire civilization, Water civilization and Nature civilization." "You know your things huh?" Someone teased. I turn into a wolf and snarled. I saw a girl my age and had short hair, which was pink. Like Master Nadia's.

She didn't seem phased by me. "Sorry for startling you. My name is Jane. I hear you are the famous Ōkami." I just gave up at that moment. Famous? Wow. This is gonna suck. I turned to a human again. And she started asking questions of how I got here and stuff like that. Man, what is with her? "So are like a werewolf? Hypothetically speaking." "No?" "Then how can you shift from human to wolf?" She asked. "I don't know. I just can?" I wondered if she was gonna call me a freak or something. Who asks that many questions and not freak out? But her response surprised me. "That's really cool!" She screeched. "We are cool right?" I nodded. "I know this is gonna sound dumb, but do you want to be my friend?" She asked. Friend? I thought about it and I found myself say. "Yeah, it would be nice to talk to someone when I need help with something." "Well, I'm pretty sure I'm your girl." I smiled. She laughed. She looked at her watch. "Oh man, my aunt is gonna kill me!" She ran off after saying. "See you tomorrow!" And like that she was gone. "A friend? My first friend." I saw a small memory play in my head.

Flashback

"What is she?" The teased. "I don't know. What a freak!" I walked down the halls listening to them talk about me. "Hey, freak!" I saw the school bully Carter Ramerez. I continued to walk away. "Hey, I am talking to you!" I kept going. "Ignore him. Don't change nor cast your spell or you'll be in hell." I silently whisper. "Hey!" I ran away. "Where are you going?" They kept laughing and calling me names. "Get back here!" I ran to the courtyard where a boy was standing. One of Carter's friends grabbed me and started beating me. He punched me while they held me down. "No wonder your mom killed herself. Why would she want a daughter like you!" They continue to laugh. "That will explain why your dad left in the first place." One of them said. "Nobody wants you!" Unwanted. "Why would anyone care about you? Might as well abandon you." Abandoned. There were so many witnesses and yet no one came to my aide. "What's going on here?" The principal came and they all ran away. I got up and ran away. What can they do? They'll make sure that I stay away as far as possible. I ran to the park outside my house and cried. Their words still echoing. "Ōkami?" I looked up to see my grandfather.

"What happened to you?" He picked me up and took me to the hospital seeing that there were traces of blood. "Whoever did this will pay. They won't get away with this." He said. My brother and sister came in with disappointment and small traces of anger. I began to cry. "It wasn't my fault! They hurt me! I didn't do anything!" I kept sobbing and they called the school telling them what I have described. The parents of the bullies claimed that I did something to them. "My Ōkami won't attack anyone! Not like your dog of a son you have!" Grandfather argued. "She is of pride. She won't fight unless she needs to. All I know you need to discipline your children for what they have done. Or you should be. They only act that way because of how you act as a parent."

Flashback Ends

I felt a small trace of tears falling down my face. I miss him. He was the only one that cared about me. That stood for me when everyone else judged and pointed fingers. He cared. Mom cared. And they're gone. All of the people that stood there by me are gone. I shook it off but I couldn't stop. I walked to one of the stacks and cried.
