Nie-orya then ran down to her as Leo untied the other logs off his back and sat them next to the pile with them rolling away from the pile lile someone had fell into it. Ikyo then picked up the tooth and handed it to Nie-orya as she was standing next to her with a concern look on her face as she was looking at her. "Remember I'm always listening and that I will always protect you." Said Ikyo calmly as she was slightly smiling at her after handed her staff to her. "Are you okay Ikyo?" Asked Leo in a soft voice after he noticed she was starting to look pale. "Yes, I just need to change so I won't scare the townspeople." Said Ikyo in a low voice then her hair turned completely black and her ears disappear and turned into human ears with her ear both colored blue. She fell into Leo arm just as some of the townspeople had reached the top of the hill.
"We came as fast as we could." Said one of the men strongly from the group. "We saw the Lighting Brothers running out of town with the boss of them saying they was never coming back." Said another man in surprise from the group. Leo had fallen onto the ground with Ikyo crying in his arms. "Big brother I was so scared, thank for saving me." Said Ikyo in a soft voice after she looked up at him with tears in her eyes as he was lifted her up in his arm before getting onto his feet. "Leo you ran them out?" Asked another man from the ground in a puzzled voice. "Who's this girl?" Asked a woman that was with them that was looking at Ikyo. Ikyo looked up at Leo and started coughing. "She my little sister the Lighting Brothers was trying to kidnap her to prevent me from stopping them from raiding the town." Said Leo calmy as he was looking down at Ikyo. Another woman walked up to them and felt her forehead. "She burning up, is she sick?" Asked the woman in concern voice as she was looking her over. "Yes, she got a bad cold when she was out playing with our dog Sunny and fell down a hill on the way back home, she get sick so easy that she don't get out much." Said Leo in a soft voice after he looked at the woman then down at Ikyo after looking at Sunny in front of him for a moment. "I'm okay now Sunny." Said Ikyo calmly as she was looking down at her and smiled at her before she started coughing again really hard. "Take her back inside to rest." Said a woman quickly as she was looking at Ikyo coughing as she seem to be crying a little as she was holding her stomach from coughing so hard. "We like to thank you for running the Lighting Brothers out of town for good." Said one of the men cheerfully from the group. "Please come to the market for some medicine and warm covers for your sister's cold and as a thank you for getting rid of those men." Said the woman that had looked over Ikyo and was smiling slightly at him. "Take her to her room Leo before she gets sicker, I will go back with the people to get the supplies." Said Na-aida calmly after she felt Ikyo's forehead and smiled sligthly her for a moment before kissing her on her forehead. "Thank you Mother Na-aida." Said Ikyo in a low voice then she smiling slightly at her before she started coughing again as she was started to walk down the hill with the people back to the town.
Leo toke her back to Nie-orya's room, after he layed her back on the bed her hair changed back to her normal white color with black ends with her dog ears on top of her head. "Ikyo did you know those people was coming?" Asked Nie-orya in a slightly surprised voice as was feel her forehead. She nodded at her as she was pulling the covers over her as she start to fall back into a sleep like trance. "Leo, how… how did you know what to say to the townspeople after they came?" Asked Nie-orya calmly after her looked up at him standing beside her. "After she called me big brother and looked up at me she said told me what to say through my mind, the… the only people that could do that was our parents. She told me that she need your help to teach how to control her powers by reading from our parents mage book of spells and stuff because she was too weak right now to break the spell that you unlocked to let her use her powers." Said Leo calmly as he was brushing Ikyo's hair back from her face as she was sleeping so peaceful compared to the last couple of days. "Okay I will." Said Nie-orya in a soft voice then she looked down at her as she was holding her hands against her chest. "Nie-orya, is she okay?" Asked Mother Na-aida in a low soft voice after she place a cover on the end of the bed from the townspeople. Nie-orya nodded yes before leaning on her head on her shoulder after she had walked to her. "Do you think she'll remember any of this when she wakes up completely when she dose?" Asked Nie-orya calmly as she was looking down at her. "If she don't she gave you this to remember what happened today." Said Na-aida in a soft voice grabbing her hands to remove the tooth to put in a pouch and placed it around her neck. "Yeah, I guess you're right." Said Nie-orya in a low calm voice as she was holding the pouch to her chest.
"I have kept the tooth in here since that day and I have never taking it off since, this morning she told me almost everything about you after telling me your name." Said Nie-orya in a soft voice as she was showing Oku the pouch around her neck. "Me!!?, your telling me... that... means that her power is stronger than the 3 mages elders. Your and my powers can't even compare to hers even if we put them together!!!" Said Oku in a surprised voice then he looked down at Ikyo laying on Nie-orya's lap. "Yes, when she has fully awaken her powers she will be able to learns how to control them faster. That's why I read her spells from my parents book of spells every morning and night as she lay here on my lap here." Said Nie-orya in a low as she was finished cleaning and wrapping the last of her wounds. "That's the best you can do with her in this state, well that's is better than nothing I guess." Said Oku calmly after looking down at Ikyo then up at Nie-orya and gave her a warm smile. Nie-orya looked at him a smile started to appear on her face as she started blushing at him.
"Oh, I almost forgot, she told me that she wanted to ask you something." Said Nie-orya quickly then she creased Ikyo ear and it twitched. "Hun!!? But how is she going to do that in this state?" Asked Oku in surprised after he looked up at her then down at Ikyo as she started to blink her eyes. "Mmm!!" Said Ikyo in a sleep voice after she sat up from her lap. "You wanted to ask Oku something when he came here today, he here now." Said Nie-orya calmly as she was brushing her hair from her face. "Did you find what you was looking for?" Asked Ikyo in a sleepy voice after she sat up some more and looked up at him. He looked at Nie-orya and placed his hand on hers making her blush again. "Yes and more." Said Oku in a low soft voice as he was smiled at Nie-orya before he looked back at her. "That's good, promise me and Leo that you will keep Oku out of trouble and cherish Nie-orya with all your heart until I'm strong enough to control my powers to break this spell. When I wake up I want to… spar hard with Me-Me… study… my magic with Na-Na until morning… and learn about the world by my sweet Oku side after they get here." Said Ikyo in a sleep voice after she layed her head back on the bed and smiled at them slightly. "We promise." Said Nie-orya and Oku at the same time as they looked at her and she closed her eyes and fell back into a deep sleep.
Its been a couple of years since that day before Ikyo had complete control of her powers. Leo had gone to the mountains far to the west to train to be a better figther. He had been traveling the world to learn how to be the greatest one day. Nie-orya was seeing Oku and their son Oku Ory Jr off onto their travels to find a special weapons that's for mages that was very rare and only she could know adout he mission. Oku was going to send him off on his own when the got near the mountains and he was going to go look after Mother Na-aida who was living back in her home village. The weapon could store some of the mages powers holding it in to it for them to use to cast powerful spells. Only the most powerful mages could hold it and use it properly. "I got this from the market in town, it's a banishing gun. Ikyo told me in a dream that she needed me to find this staff and the a rare Moon Stone that was connected to it and where to find this gun. It won't hurt her with a normal bullet in it, but you can only use it once. Her powers are nearly in her control but she need this to banish the rest of the negative energy out of her that was trying to take control of her mind." Said Oku Ory Jr strongly taking her hand and placed the box in it that held the gun. "I… I can't use this on her what if it hurts her." Said Nie-orya nervously after quickly looking down at the box. "It won't hurt her it will just make her able to control her full powers after. We know you're not able to use it, this is a job that only Me-Me can do." Said Oku calmly after he lifted her head up by her chin and smiled at her before he kissed her goodbye. She hugs then and kiss then both on the forehead before they head down the hill and out of town. Nie-orya then tells Ikyo what had happened after she was thinking about what Oku said about her and her powers as she was looking down at her on her lap while she was brushing her hair. "I don't understand what he means, is it true for children like you to have negative powers within them that can take over their minds if their not strong?" Asked Nie-orya in a concern voice as she was looking down at her sadly. "It's true, but I can't explain now all I can tell you is when that day comes I need you to give Na-Na my staff and… tell her to… stand strong behind the door." Said Ikyo sleeply as Nie-orya was finishing brushing her hair then she lad her head back on the bed and closed her eyes felling back into a the deep sleep.
