"I can see your terrified right now but why of the river near the training ground is it because of your powers?" Asked Nie-orya calmly as she creased her hair gentle as she was looking down at her sadly.
"I… no I can't talk about it right now. It's hurts too much to think about anything right now!" Said Ikyo strongly after she had quickly sat up and started to push herself away from her on the couch. Then she jumped up off it and started to moved back from her as she was looking at her. She wasn't looking behind her and fell back into the chair that was sitting right behind her making her jump in surprise then she pulled her leg up under her and started to hold them tightly against her chest and started to lean her head on top of them as she was sitting in the chair. "Ikyo?" Asked Na-Na in a calm voice after she seen her fell back into the chair and started to look down at the ground in front of her in a daze still as she was still crying. "Mother, I think it's time for you to explain yourself adout everything, now." Said Me-Me strongly as she was leaning against the wall near the hallway to her room. She had been listening and watching everything, she seen that the topic was started to become a emotionally subject for Ikyo that she couldn't talk adout it and she couldn't stand to see anyone in any kind of pain no matter how mad she was at them. She then walked over to the other chair that was across from Ikyo with the table inbetween them, she looked at her sadly for a moment before she looked away from her and looked at Nie-orya. Ikyo put her legs down after she hear her sat down in the chair and started to wipe the tears off her face before she looked up at Nie-orya for a moment. After she then put her hands between her legs and started to look down at her feet as everyone was quietly waiting for Nie-orya to speak to explain everything that had happened and adout Ikyo.
Nie-orya first told them of the day she had found Ikyo in the forest by a tree with all kinds of cuts and bruises all over her body along with her dislocated arm. When she brought her home and gave her some healing water with dome herbs in it that caused her to fall into a deep sleep like trance instead of just making her fell like she was sleepy. She then told them of the day three bandits had attacked her and Mother Nie-aida and how Ikyo woke up from a nightmare with her still in a trance even after she had darting to the front door before they had kicked it in. She told them how she used her powers of magic to throw them out of the house so she could fight the boss that had been hunting for her because of her powers and how she knocked out his gold tooth. Then she started to tell them about the day she was reading from her parents mage book as she was brushing her hair and Ikyo asked her where their father was by his name, who she never met until he showed up that same day with Mother Nie-aida right that she had found in the market talking adout magic as she was she shopping at the market. That same day Ikyo had made them promise to protect each other and to be there for each other forever no matter how far apart they was from each other.
"So she could… " Said Nie-orya in a soft voice as she was holding the pouch with the gold tooth in it closely to her chest before Ikyo suddenly spoke. Sunny had sat next to Ikyo after Nie-orya had started talking to the others. She had rubbed her nose on Ikyo's legs to rub her head to help her calm down some more while she was Sunny was telling her how happy she was to finally see Ikyo that Ikyo was okay until she started to rub behind her eyes and was lost in a daze Each person that was born with a pure heart to use magic was also giving a gift of touch that made them able to do somethings without needing to use magic. All they had to do was touch someone the wanted to use their gift on and when they found someone with a compatible gift of touch they would be overwhelmed in a daze of some kind for a moment. "So I can spar with Me-Me, study magic with Na-Na, and see the world by Oku's side. I remember all those days now, I remember how I would lay my head on Nie-orya lap and how she would read spells to me to help me break the spell I was in. Sometimes I would see Me-Me watching us through the crack of the door outside because she was too scared to enter the room without getting in trouble and I could see that she was jealous of me for some reason." Said Ikyo calmly as she was looking down at Sunny who was waging her tail happily as she was rubbing her ear. Everyone was looking at her in shock because of her words then they all looked at Me-Me and seen that she was blushing which met Ikyo was telling the truth.
The house was so quite that the only sound you could hear was Sunny tail hitting the ground. "Ikyo?" Said Nie-orya calmly as she looked at her in a puzzled look then she looked at Sunny and smiled slightly at them for a moment. "How can you remember any of those things if you was under that strange spell?" Asked Na-Na in surprised after she moved closer towards her until she looked up at her. Me-Me was in total shock from what she said before that she couldn't even look at her right now. "I did those things when I was under the spell willingly so I would remember them when I was able to woke up from the one of the spells casted on my family because I'm a half-bread able to use magic. But I was only able to do it during the key times the spell on me was the weakest." Said Ikyo in low calm voice then she looked back at Sunny before she starting to scratch her other ear making her hit the floor more. "That not possible!, mother told us the story of how she met owr father hundreds of time when we was growing up. She told us she met her in a garden, so how can you know about their promise if you wasn't there because you was under some kind of spell?" Asked Me-Me strongly after she had quickly stood up and slammed her hands on the table making the tea cups shake in front of everyone as she was looked at Ikyo sharply. Ikyo quickly removed her hand from Sunny's head and jumped up from the chair making Me-Me remove her hands off the table and crossed them in front of her as she was looking at her sharply.
"I knew you would say something like that so here my answer. I know that she told you that someone with eyes of gold and blue made them make that promise in that same garden. So tell me who do you know that has eyes like that?" Asked Ikyo strongly in a calm voice as she looked back at her sternly. She looked over at Nie-orya then sat back down. "That still doesn't explain if you remember the bandits you fought when you first had to used your powers." Said Me-Me sternly after she looked up at her. Ikyo closed her eyes and put her wrist against her chest before she sat back down. "Nie-orya I gave you something after I stacked the logs back up for you, I want you to put it on the table, please." Said Ikyo calmly holding her wrist tighter against her chest. "Okay, but they already know what inside and where I got it." Said Nie-orya calmly after she removed the pouch from around her neck. "But we haven't seen it since that day and they haven't either." She Ikyo in a soft voice that was sounded like she was nervous after she leaned her head slightly down towards the ground in front of her. "Okay, I think I understand." Said Nie-orya calmly then she opened the pouch and careful removed the gold tooth that was inside it and put it on top of the pouch on the table. "Now what?" Asked Me-Me curiously after she had looked on the table at the tooth then she looked up at her.
"I'm going to give you permission to read the image in my mind as I describe the item on the table without looking at it. (her eyes was still closed) As you can see the item is a gold tooth. On the back of it is a small triangle and on the front of it is a lighting bolt that has been carved in it." Said Ikyo in a soft calm voice then she looked slightly up and they seen that her eye was still closed. "How?" Asked Na-Na in shock as she was looked over the tooth to find every detail correct even the triangle on the back that she didn't noticed when she first looked it over. "How do we know your not reading our minds to see what you just said?" Asked Me-Me strongly after her sister handed her the tooth to her and she looked at it. She handed it back to her mother who put it back on the table. "No mage can read another person's mind without them knowing it without giving them their permission of some kind to do so. I gave you all permission see the image I have been concentrating on this whole time to show you that I'm telling you this just by my own memories of the first time I seen those men after I had just learned adout my powers after I had just thirteen. Now Nie-orya could you please put it away, I don't what to be reminded any more of what those men did or what they was planning on doing to us that day." Said Ikyo in a low voice as her eyes was still closed. Then she started rubbing them as tears began to form in her eyes as she started to see images from the nightmare she was having that day adout what that could have done to her if she didn't stop them. Nie-orya did as she asked then she put it back around her neck, Ikyo opened her eyes and wiped the tears from her cheeks and eyes after she sat down.
"But how can you do those things if your only half human? Asked Na-Na in a puzzled voice as she was surprised by how detail she described the tooth without having to looking at it. "That's true, there are rare case in which mages can be born from parents that have no mage blood in them like Leo. I know now that mages can be born from any bloodline human or not. And if the child is born from a bloodline that's not human and are born with the power of a mage it is only because their heart is pure. But in order to use magic they have to train very hard and do things full blood mages can do so easily. They have push themselves emotionally over the limit of any normal mage just so they can control their the powers or the negative powers in their blood can take over their mind and imprisoning the child within if their not strong enough." Said Ikyo seriously as she looking up at Na-Na because she learned that when she was studying with her father when she was young because no one in his family could use magic but him, after she stop talking she then looked down at her hands after placing them on her lap in front of her. "Then explain to us what happened today that is if you can." Said Me-Me strongly in a harsh tone as she was looking at her seriously. She knew if that was true then Ikyo was stronger than her, Na-Na, and her mother's powers even when they was put all together.
"That happened because my powers had been in a dormant state for so long because I was too sacred to use them because I didn't what to hurt anyone that was close to me again. My powers was was awakened during a emotionally event in my life regarding my brother Yasha but I couldn't control them because I was so young. My powers toke a part of my negative engery and tired to used it to hurt the people close to me when I just wanted to help them and I could hurt them if my brother Houmeru didn't stop me or you Me-Me. If you didn't shot me like you did I may have been locked away in my own mind forever and the longer my powers had control over me the weaker my true self would have gotten." Said Ikyo calmly looking at Me-Me who was listening closely. Ikyo stood up and put her hands on her chest and Me-Me raised a eyebrow at her. "So Me-Me I'm entirely grateful for doing what you did to free me from my mind and help me to gain back control my powers." Said Ikyo strongly then gave her a slightly smile. "Mother just told me want to do." Said Me-Me strongly and she turned her her slightly to her side looking away from her. "But I told her where to shot and told her to tell Na-Na to use my staff and "stand strong" behind the door." Said Ikyo in a checky voice after looking at her staff leaning against the table with the bonsai tree on it. "Hun!" Said Me-Me in surprised then she quickly looked at her mother with a puzzled look, she nodded that what Ikyo was telling the true. "I may regent this later but…" Said Ikyo shyly in a low voice as she was rubbing the back of her neck. When Me-Me looked back at her she gave her a sweet smile then disappeared right in front of everyone.
Everyone quickly jumped up slightly and Me-Me quickly stood up and started to looked around for her but didn't see her until she appeared behind her and suddenly embraced her in a huge hug. She was so shocked that she started blushing from embarrassment because she had cought her off guard. "I wanted to thank you for putting my arm back in place and I'm looking forward to fighting you more than ever now." Said Ikyo happily as she was still hugging her. "When I'm done with you we will know who really is the strongest out of the two of us and… and… it was no big deal, now get off me!" Said Me-Me strongly then she lower her voice for a moment before she quickly pulled her arms off her and turned around to looked at her sternly and a small grin appeared on her face as she was sitting in the chair looking up at her. Ikyo held her hands to her chest and nodded at her after she smiled back happily. Then she hit her to get out of her chair and for startling her like she did because she thought she had ran away again. They started yelling at each other until Nie-orya stopped them and made them go outside to collect some firewood for that night.
