Chapter 2: Denying It.

Seeing Jiro scrutinize her necklace and bracelet, Kaori quickly jerked back her arm. Then, covering it by pulling down her sleeve.

"Don't deny it. People with powers would all have that bracelet." Jiro grinned as he pulled up his sleeve.

No words to say, Kaori saw the same exact bracelet on Jairo's arm. Except, it had a different marking symbol. Kaori only had the knowledge of the bracelet was that it identify powers.

"Let me see how strong you are with your powers." Jiro faced then turned stern.

Bring confused, Kaori didn't know what to do. She concealed her powers for many years that she was so used to not using her powers. In Kaori's conscience, all she heard was to conceal her powers. But being so focused on her thoughts, Kaori didn't notice a massive ball of flames coming towards her.

"Stop!"

Backing down Jiro noticed his mother was the one stopping his powers.

"What the hell are you thinking?!" Hastily, Mrs. Kazuki ran towards Kaori, comforting her.

Being angered, Jiro walked back into the house.

"Are you hurt?!"

"N-no, I'm fine." Kaori smiled weakly.

In the living room, Mrs. Kazuki held a meeting inside.

"Jiro, what is wrong with you?!" Mrs. Kazuki began lecturing.

"It's not my fault! I thought she had powers." Jiro fiddled with his bracelet.

"What do you mean powers?" Mrs. Kazuki calmed down.

"Her bracelet."

Mrs. Kazuki paced over to Kaori. Using her powers, Mrs. Kazuki quickly saw the bracelet.

"I see. So you're part of the Tigress Side." Mrs. Kazuki eyes glared golden.

"Tigress?!" Jiro being shocked.

"We've worked with your side before. Now, I know how your mother got killed."

Kaori eyes widen, almost beginning to tear up.

"You see, the Tigress Side and us were allies. However, there was a certain group that disliked both of us. That group, was the Serpents."

Kaori felt her eyes closing. They felt so heavy, she needed to close her eyes.

"Kaori?!" Mrs. Kazuki quickly ran close.

"I got her." Jiro picked up Kaori and bought her to her room.

Mrs. Kazuki felt her forehead. Pacing throughout the room, Mrs. Kazuki panicked.

"It might be the awakening." Jiro stared at Kaori.

"The what?"

"When her powers come back to her. She cannot conceal her powers. After all, she is part of the Tigress Side." Jiro pointed out.

"True. We must try to protect her from the Serpents."

"I know who to call." Jiro dialed a cell phone numbered.
