Chosen

Physically Impossible

Clarity's POV

Later that night, I got to studying, with Atlantis giving me 'help' along the way but mainly being distracting. I was trying to find out what Rin's element was and to see how it works with mine. I know for sure I'm light, but what is he? I feel his powers pulling at me, but I can't place what they are.

I feel a slight warmth when I'm around Flare, cool around Atlantis, alive around Evergreen, and charged around Cirrus, but around him my breath seems short and my face heats. I guess my face feels warm so he might be fire, but I don't think it's the same aurora as Flare gives off. It's more of a --good heat, I guess. I slightly flush at that thought. But I also have felt something else as well, sort of an empty feeling, which slightly bothers me.

"Ooh! That looks weird! Let's check it out!" Atlantis says, half sprawled over me as she saves a page I was flipping. I sigh. She's technically 14, but sometimes I swear she's 6.

"We'll check that out later," I say, trying not to laugh as she gives me the puppy eyes she wears well.

"No!" She whines, and begins reading really loud, "DARK DREAM: A TAKEOVER BY THE MOST POWERFUL DEMONS- IT SENDS THEM INTO THE UNDERWORLD IN A DREAM AND THEN MAKES THEM GO INSANE: WARNINGS ARE DIZZYNESS, DARKNESS IN VISION...What the heck is this?!?!?!"

I stifle a laugh as she quickly flips the page, hoping for just about anything else. "YES!!!!! Here's some good stuff!"

"We'll check it out afterwards," I say, doggie- earring the page.

"Ok," she says with a fake sob, then takes her hand out of the book and returns to a natural sitting position. She pours a few 'tears' down her cheeks, making me laugh. Yep, she's got the heart of a 6 year old.

After a little more looking, she forgets the page earlier and dries her phony tears. Her clearish turquoise hair trails down to her toes, giving her a bit of a 'repunzel' look.

"Here's something!" She exclaims suddenly, and stops me again. I sigh as I try not to giggle. Some things never change. It's probably just a page with a big colorful picture that caught her eye. I turn to her and see the big tears eyes already plastered on her face, and I give in. As I flip back to her page, a huge smile erupts on her face. I can't help but smile as well.

I look down at the page and my smile grows. This was what I was trying to find. On the page there is a large colorful graph showing a circle of the elements and their sub-elements. Next to the chart there is a key showing what each color line means. A blue is the best relationship, yellow is so-so and red is total opposites. It mentions jokingly that opposites DO NOT attract, and I giggle slightly.

Who would ever think that? Fire and water are total opposites, and together they're physically impossible. I trail my finger across the page until I find light on the graph, represented by a creamy colored sun. Out of the corner of my eye, I see a pale, slender finger on the water symbol, and when I look back I see pure fascination on the girl's face. I grin at her amazement. She's always been this way about books, and while I don't hate them, I'm not as big a book fan as her.

I turn back to the sun symbol and touch my finger to it. I feel a strange happiness, and wonder if this is how Rin feels when he's around me. Above me are sub-elements, including celestial and card. I feel the same happy tingle, but not as strongly.

I trace my finger around the graph and feel the same as I do around each of my elemental friends, but not the slight emptiness I see in Rin. I finally trace around to dark. I'm a bit nervous about what I'll feel in my opposite element. I look up and see the sub elements, and decide to start with those. That way I'll get the dark feeling, but not as strong. I see 3 sub-elements. Death, soul and demonic. All of them sound deadly, but I decide to try soul anyway.

I hesitantly lower a finger to the picture, afraid of what I will feel. At first it's just cool paper, but then it hits me like a lightning strike. My heartbeat speeds up and my soul seems to be jumping out of my body. I tug my hand away quickly and ungracefully fall of the bed. I open my eyes and see Atlantis looking over my worriedly from the bed.

"Are you ok?" She asks nervously, and I nod. But I feel something odd. An emptiness. I leap up and snatch the book, flipping hurriedly to the index.

"Hey!" She complains having lost the page, but I ignore her. I find the page I'm looking for and scan it my eyes wide.

"Dark magic vs. Light," I mutter to myself frantically looking over the page. "Pure dark magic only comes from legendary demons or sons of Satan. Demons of this type may look human, but easy for any light magic user to identify by their immensely strong empty feel. Sons of Satan on the other hand always appear human and their magic can be concealed," I stop. Is Rin this? I continue reading.

"Defeating a pure dark can only be done by a pure light; either an an archangel or a daughter of the Angelic Queen," I stare at the words in front of me. I am a pure light magic, definitely not one of the sub-elements. And I'm pretty sure I'm not an archangel. Am I the Angelic Queen's daughter? I'll answer that later, right now is about Rin.

"Since dark is the absence of light, light almost always prevails over dark. A demon too comfortable around an archangel may eventually be killed by their light aurora." Then the page ends. I should continue my research, but I am frozen.

Rin is the demon. I am an angel. We will kill each other.

We are like fire under water because were physically impossible.

Sorry for the short chapter, but I had to end it there because of the SUSPENSE!!!!!
If you want to know more of Rin's background, watch the anime Blue Exorcist. IT IS FREIKING AWESOME!!!!! I don't recommend it for people under 10 though- too scary and because of other things. Watch anime at your own risks.

Peace out!
