Chapter 4 The truth

“MOM! MOM!” I called as I ran into our house. She was laying on the coach. Everyone was waiting for the peramedics. She was breathing heavy and bleeding.

“Who did this?” I asked Al.

“A drunk driver plowed into us as we left the hospital. We had just turned onto our street,” she said. Her arm was in a make shift sling. I looked at it.

“Give me your arm,” i told her.

“Why?” she asked.

“Do it,” i started to yell. She lent her arm twords me. I held my hand on it. A surge of heat began to pour from my hand. It speed up the healing process so fast that her broken arm mend and heal at a blinding speed.

“What did you do?” she asked in amazement.

“I'll tell you at the hospital. For now lets load mom into the ambulance,” I said as it pulled up. They got my mom to the hospital fast enough to save her life. Al and I waited in the waiting room. She kept looking over at me. I was worried. I paced back and forth wondering where Dad was.

“Jon your burning a hole into the ground,” she said joking. I looked down to see that it was true.

“Jon. What happened to you?” she asked.

“If I tell you will you tell Mom?” I asked.

“No,” she said.

“Alright. A few nights ago I was visited by a giant glowing turtle,” I said. She started gasping. She was laughing too hard to breath.

“It was Monday. It gave me a Staff and the ability to control, create, and manipulate flames. As well as a new set of cloths,” I said. She was still laughing. That is till I shot a fire blast that nearly hit her face. She looked up at me in shock.

“Told ya,” I said.

“Ok. So is it only you?” she asked.

“No theres more of us,” I said sitting down next to her.

“ 'Us'? You mean you know the other ones?” she asked.

“Thats enough out of me. Right now we need to worry about mom,” I said standing to go to the waiting room door. As I reached for the door she grabbed my hand.

“Jon. Your my little brother and you better not do anything stupid,” she said staring at me. I looked back.

“I won't,” I said. As i spoke the doctor came in.

“You must be her children. I have some good news and bad news. First the good. Her body has accepted the treatment and will be back to working condition in a matter of days,” he said.

“You make it sound like my mother is a machine,” I said looking him in his eyes.

“What is the bad news?” Al asked him.

“Unfortunately we had to amputate her left leg and right arm. She had caught a nasty virus during the operation that would have manifested if the infected body parts weren't taken off. I'm sorry,” he said hanging his head slightly. He turned to walk away. I grabbed his shoulder and shoved him into a wall.

“WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO FOR HER?” I asked in a serious voice.

“There is nothing I can do,” he said. I didn't let go.

“If you have the time I can make a suggestion,” i said pulling him close.

“And what would that be?” he asked a little freaked out.

“Let me in there and I can fix my mother,” I said.

“Really? And how do you prepose to do that?” he asked mocking me.

“Thats none of your buissness. Just let me in,” I said getting annoyed.

“No.”

“Then get out of the way!” I said throwing him to the ground.

“SECURITY!!” he screamed. As he screamed for help I went into the room. I saw my mom's limbs lying on the ground. I picked them up and placed them in the right places.

“Kaji Kame,” i said transforming. I placed my hands over my mother. I began to purify the areas that were infected. After litiraly burning away the infection I reatteched the parts and sealed the wounds. She was healed . I healed my mom. She woke up to see me looming over her.

“...who are you?” she asked. I looked down into her eyes.

“.....a friend,” I answered. I left the room and ran as fast as I could. I knew Al would watch over her. I made it back home in time for bed. My life is so much more complicated now. How will I deal with this?


The next morning I left out for school. I caught the bus this time. I walked in to find Yujie waiting at the normal spot. She caught site of me.

“Jon!” she called. I ignored her and kept walking. She soon started to follow me. After three minutes I stopped and confronted her.

“What?” I asked annoyed.

“Why did you do it?” she asked.

“I have my reasons,” I said. I began to walk away when she grabbed my arm.

“Tell me whats going on,” she demanded. I broke free.

“No,” I said coldly.

“Why?” she asked.

“Because it dosen't concern you,” I said walking away. I walked for a few minutes and ran into Nana-imoto-chan. She had a strange look on her face.

“Jon can I talk to you?” she asked.

“Sure. What about?” I asked.

“Should I quit the anime club too?” she asked.

“Do what you think is right,” I told her.

“Then what do we do now? I mean we are the same now,” she said.

“Yeah. Things are getting to thick to fast. But what ever you do. Don't tell anyone about this. If we want to keep them save we have to keep them away from this,” I told her.

“WINFIElD!!” I heared someone yell. It was Dan Westaway. he came running from out of no where.

“What?” I asked.

“Its You-you. She's in truble,” he said pointing. I didn't have to think about it. I ran in the direction he pointed.

“I thought you got over her,” Shadow said.

“Can't be helped. Shes still a friend,” I said. I finaly spotted her. She was surrounded by members of the football team.

“We told you to keep your group of nerds away from us. We found Soto picking a fight with our starting lineback. And we need him for the game. Now hes in the hospital. What do you plan to do about it?” the qb asked.

“Why should this matter to me? I can't control him,” she said.

“Well we can control this,” he said. He reeled back and slapped Yujie.

“Now apologize for his mistake,” he demanded. Yujie just looked down. She wouldn't do it.

“Do it,” he demanded again. Nothing.

“I SAID DO IT!!!” he said preparing for another one. This time it was a punch. He swung. Yujie closed her eyes and braced. Nothing. She opened her eyes. I was standing in the path of his fist. I blocked it with my head.

“Out of the way nerd! This is between me and her!” he yelled.

“No,” I said glaring at him.

“Fine four-eyes,” he said preparing another punch. Way to slow. I had dropped him faster than he could blink. His group then charged. My glasses gleamed. I tossed Yujie into the air. Within a couple of seconds all the football players were on the ground. I caught her and put her on the ground.

“Too easy,” I said walking away.

“YYYYOOOUUUUU!!!!” one of them yelled getting to his feet. He swung. I dodged it and caught him with my elbow. When he was on the ground I squatted next to him. Put my hand over his face and said,

“You can't see me.” I got up looked over at Yujie and kept walking.
