Unordinary Girls Book 1: Crystal Hearts

Chapter 4: The Truths.

Previously: Mostly everyone is back in Yamoto. Neon was checked up by Iruka and we find out that Neon's powers could possibly kill her. We learn that Yuki and Kori are keeping secrets.

Hey, guys, Arden helped me with the chapter also. I'm sorry my updates have been slow. I put a lot of thought and love into this book.

Kira's Pov

I was at my Mom's house. We were in the living room. We were just catching up on things.

I gotta admit that it was a bit awkward, though.

"So how's your life been?" Mom asked.

"Good," I replied.

"Have any kids you're hiding from me?"

"Huh?.....No.....I don't have any kids."

Of course, I started looking around just to make sure.

"Nope. No kids." I said.

My Mom started laughing, which just made me confused. What was so funny?

"I was kidding! Ah, you're so funny, Kira!" Mom said. I raised a brow.

"But I didn't say anything funny," I said.

"Well, it was fun for kids. Hey Kira, do you like jokes?"

"Not really. I don't understand 'em a lot of the time." I said.

"It's quite alright. Look kiddo I'm sorry doing what I did to you. Having to live with Yoshio I should have fought harder to get you back. Look at your now you are here that what matters." I wanted to believe my mom that things will be alright I should know it won't. Something was telling me that these were about to go bad.

"Mom I need your help with my powers. It's not that I don't know who to use them I just want to get stronger and better control." My eyes cast down after I said that.

"I get it. It's just not for Neon." I looked at her.

"Mom, it's also for me. I want to protect Neon, but I know I can't keep her safe forever. She won't always need me, she can clearly protect herself."

"You can keep her safe from some things. She is always going to need you." Mom smiled at me. A few years ago I wouldn't be saying what I'm saying now.

"Thanks, mom."

"That's we are here for kiddo. I have some work to caught with we can talk about this more later." Things seem like they were getting easier, but at the same time, things weren't going to get any easier. I decided to get some air leaving mom doing what she needed to do. I would have liked to talk to her more. I started to walk around getting used to how things looked and were. Everything seemed pretty much the same. I was wondering where Neon was after we got back we all got separated. Neon was dragged away with this Lady named Iruka. Kori and Yuki ran off somewhere. I was left with my mom and we talked. I decided to go look for Neon.

I had to try to go look for a hospital of some kind. I've never trusted hospitals, I guess that because so many trips were to the hospital. I can't blame Neon she couldn't help that she had bad health. I was wondered what caused it, some things didn't make sense like how both of her parents seemed perfectly healthy. The whole magic thing doesn't make sense with it being connected to the spirit world. I get it when it drains her strength, but the rest doesn't make sense. I knew I needed to look in to. First I needed to find Neon.

Neon's Pov
I left the hospital after Iruka took a look at me and completely freaked out. I know my powers are dangerous and everything. After accidentally overhearing Yuki and Kori's conversation. It's like no one can trust each other. I can't blame Kori for not being able to trust so easily. Secrets are what destroys people and the relationships between them. I just need to find Kira. I hadn't here to Yamoto in so long time it feels like so many things have changed. I didn't really know where to go, I better start from somewhere. I started walking trying to see if I could find Kira, or maybe my grandfather somewhere if he decided to come home early. As I started walking around Yamoto I felt more lost and alone. I couldn't help but notice the stares I was continuously getting from people. It wasn't like I was strange to Yamoto it had been so many years since I've been. I'm just surprised that people notice who I was. I guess some things just don't change with time. My entire life was spent getting stares from people. Back then, I never worried about it as much as I do now. I say back in Oshima it was worse with the looks. Sometimes it makes me wonder what my parents did to have people hate them so much, and I know what the looks of hate are. I just kept walking until I was at the memorial place where they kept fallen Magi. I stood there looking closely at it. There I saw their names.
