KingdomTears :2: Book One

Yaibe's eyes widen in surprise, then he lowered his head as they slowly shut in sorrow, "I see."

Yuri gave in to his remembrance and began to walk towards Yaibe. "You see that as long as I have such a doubt in myself, then I can't hold anything close to me that is important."

Yaibe's lifted his head as Yuri came to a stop in front of him, "What is it like to not have the feelings of a family?" he asked himself, "I certainly would feel like taking my own life away from such a sad world." He then propped his staff into the ground with a vague look upon his face, "I will not let you feel this way. I have seen many Key Keepers in my time and I have yet to see one fail. You are a Key Keeper, like it or not."

Yuri took a step back only to give Yaibe some room to swing about his arms as he lectured.

"I will teach you all that I know, but there is so much that you must learn on yourself, other than the fact that I don't now many tricks of a Key Keeper..."

Yuri's mind had wondered off as he notice the rain coming to a steady drizzle and the stopping. The sun's rays began to cut through the clouds as Yuri's eyes became embellished with the imagery. He could hear soft songs of birds as the faint voice of Yaibe grew to overcome the silence.

"Hey!" Yaibe yelled, as he pointed his finger directly at Yuri, "are you listening to me? I have a lot to teach, well some, but what I'm trying to say is that there is only so much time before you meet up with my brother..."

"Wait," Yuri interrupted, "You mean to tell me there is more than one of you in that whacked up family of yours?"

"No, my dear friend," Yaibe calmed himself down from the over excitement of leadership, "I am the only one of my family. My brother is no longer part of my life and my parents are long gone with the flames of my memories."

Yuri glanced at Yaibe concerned, "What do you mean by that? Your brother and memories?"

Yaibe sighed, "My brother himself is a Key Keeper as you. He grew up as a strong caring person, but things took for the worse. He soon found anger and vengeance in his power, killing every one, but me, in our nation."

Yuri's mind was now swarming with questions of his own, "What happened to your brother?"

Yaibe lowered his head to the ground in a shameful like way, "He moved on to other lands killing all that came in his way. I kept up with what he was doing by a gift the Wind Keepers had grown to adapt to. Because of this gift, I still fear in myself the growing anger and vengeance he carries. I may even one day become as he did and if need be, I shall not let this evil overcome me."

Yuri feeling his deep since of patience running slim, "I don't mean to interrupt, but what is our brother's name?"

Yaibe looked up towards the sky as if he were imitating as Yuri had done, "I hate to say his name, but I shall tell you and you only once so I do not have to speak of his name again," a slight pause fell amongst his voice, then he continued, "His name is Hadet. A name that is well known by all keepers is a name of fear and inhumanity. After the great slaughter of my people, he became known as the Keeper of Death or just the Death Keeper."
YURI: Man, you have a fucked up brother...
YAIBE: He took my candy (tears)
YURI: Now isn't that a shame? (rolls eyes)
"Yaibe?" Yuri asked, "I now want to believe in this so much, but I have yet to see any proof that this is real."

"I know," Yaibe grunted, "but there's not much I can do to prove to you that this is..."

A silence fell among the two of them, but was only interrupted by a small breeze of cool air, which brushed along Yaibe's face and rustled his clothes. Suddenly a light of hope ignited in his eyes and swell of pride came rushing into an expression of happiness. Yuri took another step back, this time in fear of what was about to happen.

"I've got it!" Yaibe yelped in glee, "I'm so stupid to forget all about me. I mean all this time I could have done this. I should have done this in the first place, but I don't know why I didn't. I guess it was..."

Yaibe had gone off into things that really didn't matter. His words began to buddle up as his sentences tied into paragraphs. It was like a ride, continuously being feed quarters.

Yuri couldn't take it any longer and walked up to Yaibe, placing his hands on his shoulders, hoping to hold down the bouncing figure. "Yaibe," Yuri looked him in the eye, " get to the point and tell me what is it that you are talking about."

Yaibe's eyes were glistening with such joy that the only thing that came to his answer was a glamorous smile. He looked up into Yuri's eyes and with a flash, nearly dragging Yuri to the ground, shoot off towards a tree.

"Holy shit!" Yuri shouted as he regained his balance, "that boy's fast!"

As Yuri regained his step, he began to look around to where Yaibe had taken off. He glanced around to the nearest bench, but no Yaibe. "Where can he be now?" he soon asked himself, then out of nowhere came Yaibe's screaming voice.

"Over hear!" Yaibe shouted in joy as he waved his hands in the air, "Come over here quickly!"

"What does he want now?" Yuri groan to his reaction.

"Hey," Yaibe whispered in a suspicious tone when Yuri had walked his way to his side, " do you want to know a little secret?"

"Sure," Yuri rolled his eyes.

Yaibe raised his arm, while outstretching his hand to and open palm, "Every time you breathe you take in a breath of air..."

"Yeah, I kind of knew that already."

"Well, did you know that as a Wind Keeper, I can control the very air you breathe?" he then slowly closed his hand into a fist.

"Really?" Yuri spoke in a sarcastic tone, "Why don't you show me this very thing you're talking about."

"That was exactly what I was planning to do," he murmured like a child after his surprise was ruined.

Yuri quickly noticed a frown come to Yaibe's face, "Oh, come on." Knowing that this boy's emotions were as fragile as a child's, Yuri knew that he had to make this situation better before Yaibe started bawling like a baby. "Hey, you know I still don't know what your trick is?

"You don't want to see," Yaibe sobbed as he lowered his hand.

"No," Yuri proclaimed in a soft tone, "I do. Show me." He then lifted Yaibe's hand back in the air and removed his hand to place in his pocket.

A huge smile had found its way back to Yaibe's lips, "Okay." He then closed his eyes and took a deep relaxing breath. With his hand raised Yaibe again closed it as tight as he could. After the very second he closed his fist, he opened it once again and out surge a few, very visible, blue twinkles. Each quickly rouse up until they faded away into thin air, leaving a clear orb of air.
YAIBE:^__^ Told you i was telling the truth.
YURI: ⌐_⌐' Show off...
Wide eyed, Yuri stuttered in surprise, "Holy...Is that actually real?"

"Yes," Yaibe answered with pride, "I call it an Air Orb. It sounds pretty obvious, but it's the best I could do. So here it is."

"Wow, this is amazing. And you say I can do things like this?" Yuri asked, why still staring at the orb in Yaibe's hand.

"Yup!" Yaibe answered cheerfully, "Yet you can't create Air Orbs, but you can control it if it is created. You could even increase its size, but you are very inexperienced and probable can't do it. I do think you can control," he held out his hand towards Yuri, "Want to hold it?"

"Can I actually do that?" Yuri asked nervously but yet anxious, "I mean, I would like to, but is it dangerous?"

Yaibe giggled, "It's only dangerous if you new how to make it, but I highly doubt you can." As he continued to explain himself he slowly took Yuri's hands and enveloped them to gather the shape of the orb, "You do have to be careful, cause they can do some damage if they hit the ground."

"What?" Yuri shouted in shock, "Then why are you giving it to me. Here, I don't want it!" He then shoved it back towards Yaibe, but then it was shoved back to him.

"No, here," Yaibe nagged, "Trust me, you can do it."

"I don't want it," he shoved it back only to have the same reaction from Yaibe.

"Take it!" Yaibe growled.

"I don't want it!" Yuri snarled back.

As the orb was shoved back and forth between the two, neither had noticed the mass of the orb had begun to increase. It started as the size of a baseball, but now had reached the circumference of a volleyball. Due to the size increase, it had started to morph shades of blue.

"Take it!" Yuri shouted.

"Why don't you want it?" Yaibe shouted back, "It's not like you could accidentally increase its energy, causing it to be more destructive than a small explosive. The odds of that happening, at your stage, are like a 526,786 to one 1."

Suddenly, a halt came to their movement as an immense glow had begun to flare between them. The orb had reached the size of a small beach ball now. With the entire bickering going on, neither noticed the size it had grown.

"TAKE IT!" with in a split second, Yaibe had thrown his arms in the air causing the orb to be thrown into the air. It soared higher into the sky, leaving opened holes in the clouds as it broke through each one getting higher and higher. Then it vanished out of sight.
YURI: τ_τ' Your fault...
YAIBE: ∙ WOW! I didn't know i could throw that high.
Yuri gave a sharp glare a Yaibe, who was still amazed at how high it was going, "I don't know if it was just me, but that orb looked a lot bigger than it was when it went SOARING into the sky!"

Yaibe gave a sarcastic smirk, "What are the odds?" Then took off running.

"HEY!" Yuri yelled, "Why are you running away like a scarred cat? Come back and get an ass whoopin' you disserve you little brat!" He then took off running after him.

Yaibe looked back and shouted, "I'm not running from you! I'm running to get out of the way before the orb reaches the ground!"

"Oh, shit!" Yuri yelled franticly, "I forgot!"

The two ran for their lives as a sudden high pitch whistle broke over their heavy panting. Yaibe looked back wondering where it was going to land, while Yuri wondered how big of an impact it was going to make and how badly he was going to kick that brat's little ass.

"Hey!" Yuri yelled.

"Yeah!" Yaibe responded.

"How big do you think this thing will be?"

"Uh..." Yaibe painted then took a deep breath, "How big is this park?"

"About 250 by 250!"

"Okay! Then that big!"

"What?!?!?!"

Yaibe had caught eye of a wall right outside the park's entrance. He quickly pointed his finger and lead Yuri to the safest place. Then they jumped for it as they reached the closest they could get.

The orb hit the ground like a thundering cannonball, sending a shockwave rippling through the ground. Trees were blown bare of their summer leaves as the wave ran through out the park's bounders and into the city streets. Then the sound of shattering glass added to the rumbling of cracking asphalt. Passing cars came to a stop as others lost control and rammed into nearby objects and into store entrances.

Within the few seconds of the fading shockwave a burst of hurricane winds exploded, throwing up blocks of gravel and uprooting trees. The nearby vehicles suddenly became like leafs turning in a stream fall water. Then as quickly as it happened, it came to a sputtering stop.

The air became calm and the sky was swiftly over crowded with falling debris. Sprinkles of glass came showering down upon the wreckage of the city block. Moaning pedestrians and motorists coming out of the ruins of their surroundings. Off in the distance was the sound of sirens and choppers coming towards where they were needed.

Out of a pile of debris came popped Yaibe's head. Next to him came Yuri's. They both looked around and then found themselves looking into each other's eyes. The moment was calm until Yuri cracked.

"I'm going to kill you!"

"What?" Yaibe yelled back hysterically, "Why? I'm not the one who has the ability to increases energy! I did blow up a city block like you!"

"Ahhhh!" Yuri yelled out in rage, "That's it you little puck! Come here!"

Yuri wiggled his body, but couldn't brake free. He then tried pushing in one direction, still no use. He then gave up out of exhaustion and stared at Yaibe angrily, "I hate you."

"You're not the first," Yaibe sighed.
YAIBE: I'm so alone! (bawling)
YURI: -__-' Why do i have to be stuck beside this moron?
YAIBE: I'm a big screw up! Aren't I?
YURI: ⌐_⌐ Yeah.
YAIBE: -__-' Ass...
