Elemental Power
Chapter 1


It is 7am on a school day as we enter a classroom where we find 3 young ladies sitting at their desk’s talking about their weekend, Sakura, Li, and Tai.

Sakura a cute girl with shoulder length brown hair and green eyes, she is very bold and speaks her mind, she is very out going in her school and very smart, she has a younger twin sister.

Li, one of Sakura’s friends has short black hair and brown eyes she is a little shy, but not to the point to where she cannot make friends.

Tai, is also Sakura’s friend one of her best she is not so friendly toward the boys she feels they are stupid and brutish, she has long red hair with blue eyes and can be a little over the top sometimes.

Sachi walks across the room to them a very pretty girl, the other girl’s say she is flighty and very material she is one of the popular girls in their school. She is Sakura’s younger twin sister.

“Hey have you heard there are a couple of new kids coming to our school. They are transferring here from America. They say their family is really rich” Sachi said.

Sakura, Li, and Tai look over at her confused.

“How do you find all this out Sachi?” Tai says.

“It is all over school I am surprised you have not heard about it.” Sachi tells Tai.

Tai looks over at Sakura, “Your sister has her ear to the wall too much.” Tai says as they all laugh.

“Well if I did not we would know nothing around here.” Sachi says putting her hands on her hips in a huff.

“So when are they going to start here Sachi?” Li asks her.

“I heard they are going to start today, but the girl is older so she will not be in our classes, but her younger brother he is our age…” Sachi pauses placing her finger to her cheek and looking like she was in a dream state, “I wonder if he is cute.”

“You’re so bad Sachi.” Sakura tells her. “Is that all you think about is if a guy is cute or not… no wonder Mom and Dad are always on you about your grades.”

“Well of course I do not think of only that. There are cloths to think about and shoes and when I am going to be able to go shopping again and…”

“Oh forget it Sachi!” Sakura says cutting her off as Sachi rambles on Sakura shakes her head.

“Are you sure you two are sisters, and twins on top of it. You two are like daylight and dark.” Tai says.

“Oh and we cannot forget about…” Sachi says.

“Just stop please you embarrass me.” Sakura says to Sachi, as she places her hand to her face.

“Well hello ladies.” The young girls heard as they turn to see Binh standing there. Binh was the school reporter and always had his nose in some kind of story and everyone’s personal life as well.

“Hello Binh what are you doing over here should you not be in the pressroom writing a new story on the capers of The Dark Phantom. You know he struck again this weekend.” Li tells him.

“UM… yes I know this and he did not even get caught with all the police they had there this time.” Binh said.

“Did you really think he was going to get caught? Come on Binh this is Dark we are talking about here. I mean in all the centuries he has been doing this you would think they would have figured out they are never going to catch him.” Tai tells him.

“Dark can be stopped, just not by the police.” A young man says as he walks past them to his desk. Li and Tai turn to look at him.

“Oh really now Zesiro and how do you know this?” Tai asks him.

“I just do and it is really none of your business how I know this.” Zesiro tells her. The young girls stop and look at him for a few minutes then go back to their conversation.

Zesiro was a little on the cold side when it came to feelings, he has light brown hair and smoky blue eyes; he mostly keeps to himself except when it comes to Afton. He to has a twin a younger brother named Banji which is very sweet and caring he makes friends very easily and is liked by everyone, unlike his older brother Zesiro.


“He is so weird.” Li says at a whisper.

“Yeah he is nothing like his younger brother Banji.” Binh says.

“They are like Sachi and Sakura here… twins, but sooo different.” Tai says.

“Well just because we are twin’s dose not mean we have to be alike.” Sakura says to them.

“Yeah I guess it would really be hard to tell you all apart if you were alike.” Li says.

Just then, two other young men walk into the class room. “Hey Afton, Sanyu, I was wondering if you two were going to be late to class or not.” Sakura says watching them walk in.

“I guess I should join your club then, because I thought we were going to be late as well.” Afton says laughing as he takes his seat in front of Sakura, Sanyu taking his seat across from him.

Afton was a very sweet boy with hair of cotton white and soft blue eyes, he was very cute, he was a little on the awkward side when it came to the girls, but he was liked by all his class mates. Sanyu is Afton’s best friend he too was awkward toward the girl’s, he was the book worm of their class and the smartest to boot, but all the girl’s had a crush on him with his fire red hair that sat on his shoulders and his dark brown eyes, that were behind his glasses that made him look even cuter.

“So Sanyu what did you do this weekend?” Tai asks him in a seductive tone as she leaned forward on her desk.

Sanyu turns looking at Tai with a confused look, “What is that suppose to mean Tai; I did what I always do on the weekends.” Sanyu tells her.

“OH…” Tai says in a disappointed tone as she sits back in her seat. Sakura and Li laugh at her.

“You know Sanyu you really need to get a girlfriend to take up some of your time. Doesn’t it get boring sitting at home with your nose in a book all the time?” Sakura asks him.

“A girlfriend?!” Sanyu exclaims, “Now why would I want some female in my life to distract me from my studies.”

“Because you’re a guy you idiot and guys want to be with girls. What is wrong with you?” Tai says folding her arms over her chest.

Sanyu turns looking at Tai and then back at Afton, “What is her problem?” Sanyu asks him, Afton shrugs his shoulders and gets a confused look on his face.


As the bell rang the rest of the kids walk into the class room the others start to take there seats. The teacher walks into the class room with a boy and an older girl. The teacher is speaking to the girl. The class sits there and watches whispering back and forth to one another.

The girls name is Shiraishi Michiyo and around 17 years old she was tall and had a very nice build to her, her hair a long golden blonde as her eyes shown as blue as sapphires, her smile brighten the room like sunshine. The boys is Nakamura Michiyo he was a little shorter then his sister with the same color hair he had it cut in a short boys style cut, his eyes were as blue as his sisters.

“Wow she is Hot.” Afton hears.

“Stop it Dark.” Afton says to him.

“Well she is… is she the new girl that everyone has been talking about?” Dark says.

“I guess so and that must be her little brother.” Afton says to him.

“She looks about my age.” Dark says.

Afton laughs saying, “Sorry Dark no one out there is your age and still alive.”

“HA… HA… Afton… you know what I mean.” Dark says. “I have got to meet her.” Dark adds.

“I do not think so Dark!” Afton says.

“AWW come on Afton, just a few minutes at lunch?” Dark asks him. “If you do not let me I will just take over… you know you cannot stop me.” Dark tells him.

“No Dark I am at school and you are not coming out.” Afton tells him.

“Ok then you asked for it.” Dark tells him laughing.

“Dark you better not!” Afton tells him. Dark got quite as Afton hears the teacher.

“Class this is Nakamura Michiyo he and his family have transferred here from America and this is his sister Shiraishi …”

“Shiraishi … that is a beautiful name!” The teacher was cut off by one of the students.

“Excuse me, but that was rude.” Shiraishi says as her and the teacher look out into the class as the teacher looks for the student that interrupted her, but the voice did not sound familiar to her.

“As I was saying Miss Michiyo and her brother are from America they will be attending school here. Please make them feel welcome to our country and your school.” The teacher tells her class.

The teacher goes back to talking to Shiraishi as they hear Shiraishi say,

“Thank you Mrs. Himiko.” Shiraishi bowed to the teacher and left the room. The teacher looked at Nakamura and told him to take a seat in the class. Nakamura took the seat in front of Afton.

“Cool now you can get to be friends with him and maybe his sister and when you all hang out I can see her.” Dark says to Afton.

“Stop it Dark… I am not going to be his friend or Shiraishi’s just because you have the hots for her.” Afton says. “If you want his sister that bad you can get her yourself I am not going to be any part of it.”

“Just remember you are the one that said that Afton.” Dark said. Afton lowers his head bringing his hand to it, “Great I opened my mouth on that one.” Afton says softly.

“Are you alright Afton?” Sakura asks him touching his shoulder.

“Yeah I am fine just thinking aloud.” Afton tells her. Sakura smiles at him as he smiles back.

“Afton you need to be paying attention to me not Miss Sakura.” Mrs. Himiko says to him. The class looks over at Afton as he turns red in the face.

“Yes Mrs. Himiko.” Afton replies.


As class moves on into the day they finally find themselves at lunch. The bell sounds to release them from class.

“Heehee, now it is my turn.” Dark says.

“Dark I told you not at school.” Afton tells him.

“Sorry Afton as soon as everyone is out of sight, you are going to take a break.” Dark tells him. Afton runs up to Sakura and Tai as the walk down the hall.

“Hey you two want some company for lunch.” Afton asks them. They both nod and smile, “Sure Afton you know your always welcome to have lunch with us.” Sakura tells him.

“That’s dirty pool Afton!” Dark exclaims.

“It will keep you at bay for the day and that is all that matters.” Afton says to him as he smiles.

“You seem really happy Afton. What’s up?” Tai asks him.

“Oh nothing really it is just such a pretty day and days like this always put me in a good mood.” Afton says.

Sakura, Tai and Afton walk to the lunchroom as they go to take a seat Sakura sees Nakamura sitting alone at a table.

“Hey guys what do you say we go sit with Nakamura and make him feel welcome here.” Sakura tells them.

“Sure we can do that.” Afton says. Afton and Tai follow Sakura to Nakamura’s table.

When they get there Afton was the first to speak, “Hi do you mind if we sit here with you?”

“It is a free country sit were you want.” Nakamura tells them with a tone of detest not looking up. Sakura and Afton look at each other.

As they hear Tai chime in, “You know we are only trying to be nice. You should try that yourself sometime, you might make more friends that way.” Tai says in an angered tone.

“Tai!!” Sakura says.

“Well it is true, with an attitude like his he will never make any friends.” Tai says.

“Who said I wanted any friends?” Nakamura asks her. The three stood there looking at him as he stared down on to the table. “Anyway if I did make friends once I started to get all settled in our parents would pull us out of this school and move us somewhere else so what is the use.”

Sakura looks back at Nakamura saying, “I am sorry to hear that that happens to you and your sister.” She takes a seat across from him at the table Afton and Tai sit with her.

“So your family moves around a lot?” Afton asks him.

Nakamura looks up at Afton, “Yes we do my Father and Mother’s line of work calls for us to move around. I do have to say this is the first move the family has made out of the country though.”

“So you have never been out of America?!” Sakura asks him.

“No their work has never called for the family to move out of the states.” Nakamura says.

“And you are not even a little excited about seeing another country?” Tai asks him.

“Why should I be, it all looks the same after you have moved 18 times in your life and I am only 15. So you can imagine how may times my sister has had to move with them.” Nakamura says.

“Wow that is a lot of moving!” Afton says shocked.

“Well I am really sorry that you and your sister have to move around a lot, but that is not going to stop us from trying to become your friend.” Sakura tells him smiling Nakamura smiles at her.

“Thank you, Sakura... Is that right?” Nakamura says.

“Yes I am Sakura, this is Afton and this is my best friend Tai.” Sakura says as she points to everyone she just introduced.

“Well I am sorry for my attitude a few minutes ago I am just so tired of being bounced around. All I want is to settle down and live a normal life like a normal 15 year old kid.” Nakamura says.

“I can understand that Nakamura.” Afton says.

“Is there any chance that your family might settle down somewhere?” Tai asks him.

“I doubt it very much, but Shiraishi has been talking about once she turns 18 she is going to tell Mother and Father she will care for me so we can live in one place so I can live a normal life like a kid should and stay at one school longer then 8 months.” Nakamura says.

“I guess your sister is really sick of moving around as well.” Tai says.

“It never really bothered her I am guessing, or at least she has never said anything to me about it.” Nakamura says.

“So when does your sister turn 18?” Sakura asks him.

“She turns 18 in three more months.” Nakamura tells her.

“Well that’s cool maybe you two will like it so much here you might stay here with us.” Afton says.

Nakamura laughs, “I am not sure what will happen there, but I know my sister says she really does not want to go back to the states.”

“Why is that Nakamura? Tai asks.

“She has an ex boyfriend there that follows her everywhere he is as bad as a stalker. He wants to marry her so bad he can taste it and she says he is a freak and wants nothing to do with him, but he does not listen to her. She has had him put behind bars I know of 5 times.” Nakamura tells them.

“Has he ever hurt her?” Afton asks him.

“He knocked her around once that is why she left him in the first place.” Nakamura says.

“I hate guys like that; let that jerk show his face around here I will show him what it is like to be knocked around.” Dark says.

“Hush Dark.” Afton says.

“Well it is good to see that she was smart enough to get out of something like that. She deserves better then some guy that knocks her around.” Sakura says.

“Yeah like a guy like me.” Dark says.

“Dark!!” Afton exclaims to him.

“Well Shiraishi is far from weak. She has got to be the strongest person I know and people do not push her around, if she has her mind set on something there is no stopping her from doing it she will succeed in doing it. I have never seen the will she has in another person.” Nakamura says gleaming from being so proud of his sister.

“That’s good to hear Nakamura you know your sister will succeed in her life and be able to care for herself as well and a family if she so chooses to have one some day.” Sakura says.

“Yes I just hope I have half the will she has when I get older. From what Mother says Shiraishi has always been this way even since she was born.” Nakamura says.

“Wow she was that determined at that young of an age?” Tai asks.

“That’s what I was told.” Nakamura says. “And she is so smart she tested back in the states as second in the nation for most intelligent.” Nakamura tells them.

“So why is she still in school?” Afton asks him.

“Believe it or not it is because she likes school. She likes helping other people, so she becomes a teacher’s aid or class helper. She will be starting in our class next week to help out Mrs. Himiko.” Nakamura tells them.

“WOOOHOOO!!” Dark says. Afton hangs his head as the others look at him.

“Are you alright Afton you have been acting a little strange today?” Sakura asks him.

Afton looks up saying, “Yeah I am fine I need to go and get some fresh air I will be right back.”

When Afton walks outside into the sunshine he sees Shiraishi setting at a bench under the tree in the center of the school yard.

“Thanks Bud I will take it from here.” Dark says.

“Noooo Dark!!” Afton says but it was to late Dark had already taken over.
