Rocky Waters 3:

Tides Churn, An Old Enemy Returns

Chapter 1: Can Water Douce A Flame, Or Does A Flame Steam Up the Water?

"You know, I really like having you around as my girlfriend and all Ayano, but can you at least try to stop the demon from getting away if you're gonna be my girlfriend and the head of the family?"

"I did! This thing can move really quick!"

"Well that would be because it's like the old Ubagabi's were. Clearly she wasn't a virtuous girl and became haunted for it so yea; she's going to be a fastball of light. Seems like some strange hybrid, if you didn't already figure that out"

"Don't talk to me like I'm dumb!"

"I'm not, I'm just saying, next time you-" Kazuma paused. A flash of blue whipped past them.

"What the heck was that?!" Ayano stopped for a moment too.

"Spiritual Energy." Kazuma's face got serious. He squinted at it ahead.

"Another demon?" Ayano's eyes went wide.

"No. I mean water spiritual. I think that was from an water affinity power…but the Water Tribe never shows up near Fire tribe territory…"

"Are you telling me someone's trying to steal this kill from us? No way! Not after all we did to lure it out!" Ayano began running again.

"Wait, Ayano!" Kazuma followed using his wind powers to push him ahead of her again. It was strange. Why would someone who was from the Water clan be this close to the Fire Clan's turf? It didn't make any sense; they had always been rivals and opposites... if a Fire Clan was one a Water Clan's turf, they'd be better off keeping the low down and vice versa. They'd never got along in the history of clans- ever.

Water was considered one of the weaker clans and they long tried to change that. Water and Wind had long been affiliated until the Wind Clan died out, according to lore. Sure people have used wind powers before, but like that Tanaki tribe that clearly had tried to gain power over them using Demon means, never did. They chose to appease a demon instead of a god, and no contractor was every born out of that. Anyway, back when the wind clan fizzled out Water Clans stopped being able to use their ice powers.

That's when he saw her.
