Koroku Mitzukita was walking leisurely down a main street of Sintia. Koroku, like Kira, was an apprentice to a magician.
Koroku had short light brown hair and dark green eyes. He wears a very dark blue short-sleeved tunic and black pants; he also wears black boots that go to the top of his shin. His Masters’ name was Rico Hikari, and although his last name meant ‘light’, he certainly was not good or ‘light’ in any way. Koroku was eighteen years of age.
The only reason he was outside was to get away from Rico. He had his hands in his pockets and his head down, lost in thought. In the next second he felt someone run into him, or vice-versa.
“Huh?” he looked down and saw Kira. ‘Eeep.’
“Ouch! Who the?” Kira looked up and Koroku gulped.
“I-I’m sorry.” His voice came out as a mere squeak, which angered him slightly. But as their eyes met, fear replaced anger and her backed off.
“What’s your name?” Kira demanded.
“K-Koroku Mitzukita.”
Her gaze frightened him. When she suddenly broke contact Koroku looked behind him and saw his Master.
“Koroku? What are you doing?” his eyes strayed to Kira, who was still on the ground and looking up at them. “Demon lady.” Rico spat, “What are you doing here? I’ll have to tell Ms. Marcia.”
Kira stood and brushed the dirt and dust off of her tunic, ignoring everyone for a minute. “You’ll do no such thing,” she said, finally looking at them.
Koroku stood quietly behind Rico and saw him perform hand motions that would bring out some of his magic. His hands glowed bright yellow as if a kid had covered it in yellow paint.
‘Lightning Magic, no way!’
Without waiting for what Rico would do, Koroku turned and sprinted back home. When he reached the front door, he pushed himself inside and rushed up the stairs. Koroku finally reached his bedroom door and pushed it open. He closed and locked the door behind him.
“I can’t believe it… I knew that Rico didn’t pay very much attention to the laws, but to attack someone in public… With Lightning Magic no less!”
Koroku walked over to his bed and lay down. He sighed and closed his eyes, his mind slipping back in time.
