A month later...

"Woah! Close one Boom!"

"Thanks!", he chirps happily.

Boomer and I are playing a training game where one of us is blindfolded and the other tries to hit them with Kairu attacks. The longer we spend without getting hit, the higher the chance of us winning.  

The most agile, wins. We currently went through three turns for Boomer and two for me. This is my third turn, now.

"You two are really going at it huh?", Ky says, approaching me from behind. I accidentally scream and kick him behind his knee. He yells in pain and falls to the ground. I take my blindfold off and start apologising frantically.

"It's alright...ow...you've been practicing a lot haven't you?", he says, smiling weakly. I shrug and hug him with a scared look on my face. A look that basically said I was extremely sorry and was really close to crying.

He hugs me back and laughs, "I said it was okay. You cutie"

"I'm not cute!", I yell childishly. I freeze in place immediately after noticing how I said it and notice Ky and Boomer giving me the same look. I blush and shrug. I chuckle nervously and say, "th-that proves nothing, right?"

"It proves everything!", Boomer laughs, shaking his head. I blush even more and pout. "Damn it..."

I help Ky get on his feet and he kicks his foot slightly to make it feel better. "Hmm...if you wanted to nullify people for a while, you can just use that kick. At least you learned something from this incident", he shrugs.

"I wish I didn't hurt you though"

"Pain can help teach you some things too. Whether you're the one in pain or not"

I smile and Boomer says, "so...shall we continue?"

I nod happily and Ky says, "can I play too?" I nod and say, "you can help Boomer attack me while we're playing! This way, it'll be more of a challenge for each of us!"

Ky sighs and takes his X-Reader out. "Let's do this!"

We continue to play and as I have trouble understanding where the targets were coming from as I was blinded and now I have to rely on my surroundings. I concentrate on the sound of the wind, the littlest changes, the footsteps on the rocky platform to understand where they were going to attack from.

It was a little more stressful and I tried to silence my breathing as much as I could to hear the sounds.

However, one of them catches on to what I was doing and decided it would be good to trick me. They attack me from the front only to knock me on the back of my head with the same attack.

I squat on the ground, balled up, covering my head, the blindfold still on. "Oww! Which one of you did that?!", I yell, looking up.

"I did!", Boomer yells. "But Ky helped me understand what was happening. Both of us did, technically!"

I take the blindfold off again and hand it to Boomer. "Good for both of you", I mutter and get on my feet, rubbing the back of my head. 

"Hey guys!", Maya calls out to us from my left. I wave back at her and she runs toward us. "What are you all up to?"

"Eh, nothing much. Just training", Ky says.

"Are you guys playing one of those games you made?", she asks. I nod happily. "What are you playing this time?"

I begin explaining the entire game to her. "So basically, you're blindfolded and the others use Kairu or Chi based attacks to try to hit you and you have to dodge them all for as long as you can. The person to dodge the longest wins!"

"Sounds cool! But Master B's called us. We should go", Maya says, nodding to the gates.

We follow her inside and find Master Boddai in the middle. We bow down to him and Ky asks, "you called us, Master Boddai?"

He turns around and smiles at us with his still lively blue eyes. For a 70 something year old man, he's extremely active. Partly maybe because of Palladion.

"Yes. We are going to have someone staying with us for some time. I do not know if you are aware of the fact that...I have a sibling but-"

"You have a sibling?!", Boomer yelled.

I nudge him in the arm and Master Boddai continues, "Yes I do, Boomer. I have a sister. She will be staying with us for...well...she didn't say...she never does, I don't now why I'm so shocked. Anyway! She is a very nice lady and I'm positive you all will behave well with her?"

"Yes!", the four of us yell.

"Good to know...she's probably going to be here in a very dramatic fashion. Such as dropping from the sky or-"

"Heeeyyy! I'm up here!", a woman's voice calls out from behind us. Boddai sighs and says, "there she is."

"How did you get up there without making a sound?!", Boomer yells, alarmed. The woman jumps from the roof and lands on her feet. She dusts herself off and walks over to him, saying, "well, I've practiced a lot"

"I can see that. Good to see you sister. It has been too long", Boddai walks over to her and bows down. "No need to be so formal with your sister! So we haven't met in years, big deal! You've really changed too, haven't ya? Always so uptight now~"

"That is not true. I can be...casual..."

The woman raises an eyebrow and says, "yeah whatever. These your students or something?" Boddai nods and the woman turns to us. She squints and says, "you guys look so...young. How old are you?"

"Well, we're all fifteen. A few months off though", Maya shrugs.

The lady blinks in surprise and says, "huh well I'll be damned. Call me April."

April shakes Ky's hand and squints. After a short awkward moment, she says, "are you single?" Ky immediately blushes and glances around frantic. "I....uhhhh...ummm...y-yes?"

"No need to be so flustered, teen Chris Hemsworth. I'm single too", she shrugs. 

Did she just...

Call Ky...

A teen Chris Hemsworth?

What? 

They don't even look remotely similar, though...

"Boomer, right?", she says, walking over to him. "You...probably grew up on the farm, correct?"

"Yeah! How'd you know?", Boomer asks, surprised. "I know a farm boy when I see one. Trust me. I've travelled a lot."

"Well, where did you go?"

"Almost all over the world, if I'm being honest", she shrugs. Boomer's eyes widen and he smiles wide. "We've been almost all over the world!" 

April puts her hand on his shoulder and says while grinning, "well then, we'll have a hell lot of fun comparing what we saw on our trips."

"You're Maya right? Love your blue hair. Very unique", she compliments her. Maya blushes and says, "thank you! I love your hair too"

"Aww, thanks. We have to hang out together. I have a feeling we'll get along amazing!~ You like to read?"

"Yes! Yes I do! I'm currently reading the Shadows Of Time series!"

"No way, that's my favorite series! What book are you on?"

"Five. You?"

"Are we somehow connected? Because I'm on the fifth book too! We need to read together"

Maya nods and April says, "so it's agreed then! Let me know when you can read with me and we'll do it together"

April walks over to me and says, "Hey Kahura." For some reason, I get a chill up my spine when I say that. She puts her hand on my shoulder and I tense up immediately. April says, "let's just...try to get along right? I'm dying to get to know you better. After all...you're a little...different from the others, no?"

Did Boddai tell her that I was...a goddess? I mean, he was a little skeptical at first but when I showed him, did he tell April too?

"Oh well! I'm tired. Can I sleep in your bed big brother? Pease?", she says, trying to be cute and using puppy eyes. "No need for that behaviour. Here you go", Master Boddai says, digging through his pockets for the keys.

However, he can't find them. He pats his pockets trying to find them but April holds them up with a sly grin. Boddai gives her an unamused look as she walks away, whistling and spinning the keys around on her finger.
