Legend of The Rin Wand

Chapter 7

“Get ready for our trip to Tokyo, class! Pack your lunch, use the bathroom, and don’t forget your jackets!” Aiko sensei said.

Kashiyaki raised her hand.

“Can you give me five minutes to buy a lunch in 7-eleven?”

“Yes, I can.”

Kashiyaki hurried down and headed into the 7-eleven store across the street. It was warmer inside. 

Kashiyaki stood drooling in front of the packs of ramen noodles. She took three minutes to just stand and stare, and finally grabbed a pack of spicy beef-flavored ramen noodles. She grabbed a bottle of water and paid her $4 to the cashier. 

Then, she looked at her watch.

One more minute for her to get upstairs to her classroom!

Kashiyaki decided to use magic on herself. She waved the wand in her direction.

“Teleport to the classroom!” In the blink of an eye, she appeared next to her desk and seat.

The sensei blinked. “ I didn’t see you come up the stairs. Hmm… Weird.”

Tashi and Rito came to Kashiyaki’s desk.

Maka followed behind.

Tashi asked, “What lunch are you having, Rito? I really wonder...”

Rito answered, “I’m having sushi with sashimi in wasabi. I’m drinking cola.”

“Oh,that’s good food. I’m having a sandwich and fruit punch. What about you, Kashiyaki?”

“Uh… Spicy beef-favored ramen noodles and water.”

“Maka, what are you eating?”Rito asked.

Maka showed them her bag of food.

Inside was four bento boxes full of sushi, ramen, sashimi, and rice. She also had a bottle of root beer.

Tashi, Rito, and Kashiyaki’s eyes widened in amazement.

“How did you… How did you get all that food?!” Rito exclaimed.

Tashi nearly fainted at the sight of so much food.

Kashiyaki’s jaw dropped.

“She… She seems wealthier than Rito!”

Rukino went near Kashiyaki with her ‘popular’ friends and pushed Tashi and Rito aside with hostility. She lathered on another layer of lip gloss.

“Kashiyaki! Are you still hanging out with your uncool friends? The way you defended yourself yesterday was impressing, so I’m going to offer you a chance-of-a-lifetime-offer.”

“What’s the offer?”

“Would you like to join the popular group? It’s free, and we will treat you like one of us. That way, you won’t have to suffer with your pathetic friends.”

“NO! I will never join you! Your so-called chance-of-a-lifetime-offer is nauseating! I will never leave my friends to be with you!”

“Then fine! Stay with your ugly nerds. “

“Stop harassing Kashiyaki!”Tashi said, angrily.

She raised a clenched fist at Rukino, who was lathering on another layer of glittery lip gloss.

Kashiyaki stopped Tashi’s punch.

“Alright, this is it! I’ve warned you before. Stop persecuting me and my friends or you will be sorry!”Kashiyaki cautioned.

The bell rang.

The class lined up and went downstairs. They all walked out of the door without making a sound, but inside their hearts, they felt tremendous excitement. There was a pin drop in the hallways. Nobody forgot anything.

Kashiyaki peeked into her bag again as the class was climbing up the bus.

***

It was thunderous on the bus. Everyone was singing song, sharing snacks, and yelling and screaming.

Rito spotted Rukino and her boyfriend going lovey-dovey.

Maka looked at them, then quickly turned away.

Rito whispered into Kashiyaki’s ear, “Rukino and her boyfriend are kissing!”

Rito went giddy with excitement.

Tashi saw, too, and laughed loudly, so that everyone could hear.

“If we told–Yikes, this is a long trip! It’s already been two hours!” said Kashiyaki while glancing at her daruma watch.

Rito replied, “I agree. This is probably traffic.”

The bus halted to a stop on the side of a sidewalk.

“Okay, class! Single file, please. It’s time to tour Tokyo.” Aiko sensei announced.

Once again, the well-disciplined class lined up quietly and got off the bus.

“We will take a look in the Sakomoto cavern, then visit Japan’s museum of anime. After, we will have lunch at Miku’s cafe. Then we will head to the Shinkansen expressway and study how fast the high-speed railway train is. Okay, follow me.”

The class followed Aiko sensei up the street and across the road.

When they arrived at the cavern, Aiko sensei said, “If you have any cameras or devices used to take pictures, you may take them out and start taking your photos.”

Kashiyaki looked around, amazed.

The walls of the cavern were dry, and when she said something, she heard an echo.

Suddenly, something bright was glowing in a chamber of the cavern.

Kashiyaki took out her wand and teleported herself inside the chamber.

“I wonder what this is… I see a bright light. A really, really, bright light!”

Her eyes widened in shock when she saw the glowing object.

“It can’t be! Is it the Ron wand?! This is impossible! How did the Ron wand even get here?! What a weird place for the Ron wand to be at!” she thought.

She reached over. 

When she finally touched the Ron wand, she felt a surge of energy similar to the Rin wand’s, flowing through her arm and into her body. The energy was warm, reassuring, and encouraging.

Meanwhile, Kashiyaki’s friends were busy taking snapshots of the amazing creatures and the precious stones inside the Sakomoto cavern.

SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP!

Tashi was greedy for memories. She kept taking photos of the stunning figures.

Back at the chamber, Kashiyaki was still touching the wand.

Kashiyaki felt extremely happy.

“This must be because… Because the Rin wand is the wand of darkness, and the Ron wand is the wand is the wand of light! Light=good. Darkness=bad. Yeah…”

Kashiyaki took the Rin wand and joined its end with Ron’s end.

A bright light shone, and Kashiyaki had to cover her eyes tightly.

When she opened her eyes again, a beautiful blue wand overflowing with energy stood before her-RinRon.
