Gaea's Locket Ch. 4

“The symbol of Zeus.” Keito said, appalled. “The leader of the Gods in Olympus... he must be one of the Gods to give Gaea something.”

“What activated this to show though?” Yuki tried to figure it out as image soon changed. It should an area of Japan. Daiki took a closer look, “It's look like its showing eastern Tokyo-” It vanished again as a light soon shot out of it, aimed in the direction of eastern Tokyo.

“...” they all stared as Keito said, “I guess we should follow it...”

“But why?” Daiki questioned. As Yuki lit up, “That's it~!!” She turned to the boys, “I think I've figured it out! The lockets leading us somewhere right? And it showed Zeus symbol before pointing us in a direction...”

“Still confused here...” Daiki stated as she then said. “What I'm saying is that Zeus and 7 other gods gave some of their powers to Gaea to lock away in the locket! The locket is pointing us in the direction of Zeus' power!” The boys looked surprised.

“The God's powers?” they stated. Keito then lit up, “That's what's in the locket! That makes sense! But... who has the God powers? Obviously, the locket located Zeus' power because it was in use...”

“Not sure. I guess we should go and find out.” Daiki smiled as he grabbed the locket. “Come on! Let's find the one with his powers.” Yuki nodded. As they headed out, Keito asked, “So... I guess we'll be searching for the 8 people who has the powers?”

“That would be best.” Yuki smiled. “We wouldn't want these powers randomly occurring around Japan. We don't know what powers they've obtain so we don't know what they can do.”

“Alright then... the Search begins...” Keito said as they got into his car and drove off to Eastern Tokyo.

~Elsewhere~
“Alright everyone, please stay seated.” a young teacher told her class of children. “Don't be rude to our guest alright?” They all nodded and sat quietly as a small bird flew into the room. The kids cheered as in followed a girl with a cat in her hands.

“Good morning everyone.” she smiled as the bird landed on her shoulder. “I'm Suzuhara Rini. I'm an animal trainer at the nearby animal shelter. These are some of the animals I work with. This is Yoru...” she said stroking the cat's fur. “And this is Kari.” She turned to the bird.

“Can we pet them?” a little girl asked excited.

“Of course you can.” she said as she put the cat down and the bird flew around. “Just be very gentle. They're very shy.” All the kids began playing with them as their teacher went over to Rini, “Thanks so much for coming in today. Its nice to show the kids some fun jobs to do. I'm Chiba Mai, by the way.”

“Nice to meet you. And anytime. I love kids.” she beamed. “I suppose I should show them a few tricks they do.” Mai nodded, “That would be nice. I'm sure we'd all love to see them.” Rini nodded and called, “Kari.” The bird flew over and landed on her hand. She said, “Watch this kids.”

“Kari, say hi Kids.”

“Hi Kids.” the bird mimicked her. The kids smiled and cheered, “Again!”

“Again!” Kari copied them as they all giggled.

“Yoru.” she said as she raised her hand. Yoru then jumped on the desk, so everyone can see him. Rini moved her hand over the cat, “Lay.” He sat down and laid on his belly. She then faced him and said, “Meow.”

“Meow...” he purred softly as the class clap.

“I'm still in progress of training them so they don't know very much tricks yet.” Rini said.

“That was still great.” Mai smiled to her. Soon a phone rang as Rini answered, “Hello? Okay, I'll be out soon.” She hung up, “Sorry, kids. Yoru, Kari, and I need to get going.”

“Aww...” all the kids sighed sadly.

“Don't worry. They'll be back to visit again.” Mai told the class. She led Rini out of the building, “Can you come again in say two weeks? The kids are going to be learning about more animals.”

“No problem.” she smiled.

“Rini!” they heard as a car pulled up next to them.

“Hey, Kei.” she turned to him as she noticed something. “Where's Kaori?”

“Oh, I already dropped her off at the shelter.” he thought. “She had things to get done there.” She gave a look as they soon heard a bark. Rini smiled, “Awww, you found another dog, Kei~!” The dog stuck its head out the window as Mai back away, “Ugh... I'll see you later Rini. Bye~!” She ran back into the class as Kei asked, “What was that about?”

“She... has a fear of dogs. That's why I only brought Yoru and Kari today.” she explained to him. He said, “Oh... well, I didn't know.” Rini got into the front seat of the car, putting Yoru and Kari in the back as she said, “I'm sure she knows that. Just don't bring dogs around here anymore.” He nodded, “Where is Ryutaro?” Rini looked around, “Late as usual? He's always so slow...”

“I am not.” they heard as someone came by, he got in the back with Yoru and Kari.

“Yes you are Ryuu.” Rini giggled. “Come on Kei. Or we're gonna be late for class.”

“Geez, at least a thank you would be nice.” he told her. “When did I become your chauffeur?” He began driving off towards their college.

~A few blocks from World Cuisines~
“Ah, Yui.” she heard as she headed to the grocery. A car parked next to her as she smiled, “Yuya-nii-chan~! Did you get off work early?” He nodded, “Where are you heading? I'll drive you.” She got in the car, “The grocery store. I need to by more ingredients for cakes.”

“Haha, you're always baking...” Yuya smiled as he drove off.

~Outside the computer production office~
“Is this the place?” Yuki asked as they got out of the car. They stood in front of a computer office as Daiki nodded, “This is where the locket was pointing.” But then the light faded away. He groaned, “Aw, come on! The light turned off!”

“Well, we know one thing for sure.” Keito sighed. “Whoever has the power is in this building...” Yuki wondered, “But how do we find whoever it is? There's probably a bunch of people in there. And I doubt if we do find whoever it is, they won't admit that they have powers.”

“Good point... maybe the locket will react if we get close.” Daiki hoped. “Let's get going...”

~Inside the office~
“Ne~ Yuto.” he heard as he headed out of the office. He turned, “Ah, Chiharu. What's up?” She smiled, “I finished the designs for the new computer we're releasing. Can you take a look at it?” He nodded, “Sure. Let me see it.” She took it out as he smiled, “It looks great! Those effects are amazing~!”

“Thanks.”

“All that's left is to get it public. I'm sure the boss will be really impressed.” he told her. “Ah, gomen. I need to get going Chiharu. See ya~!” As he headed out, he accidently bumped someone.

“Sorry...” he apologized as he continued on his way.

“hey...” the man said as he looked at something in his hand, “Yuki, Keito! The lockets glowing!” Then an image appeared. “The one with Zeus' power!” Yuto froze in place and thought, “Zeus'... power....”
