The next day akari woke up to a beautiful blue flower beside her sleeping bag with a note that said "it looks beautiful just like you"
Akari stared at the note, blushing and wondering who gave it to her while she tucked it in her hair before going out of her tent
"Morning akari" Amaya greeted as she got out "morning" akari replied "wow that flower is beautiful" amaya said as she noticed the flower tucked on Akari's hair
"Where'd you get it?" Amaya asked curiously looking at the flower on Akari's hair "i found it beside my sleeping bag when i woke up"
"Wait really?" Amaya asked surprised "yeah it even had a note" akari replied showing her the note
"Whoa you have a secret admirer" amaya teased as she read the note "shut up, their just nice" akari replied as her face began to heat up
"I wonder who could it be?" Amaya thought as she look at the note and flower when kaito arrived
"Hey there, what are you doing?" Kaito asked pretending to act casual despite the flower
"Akari has a secret admirer " amaya squealed and pointed at the flower on Akari's hair
"That flower looks beautiful " kaito said as he glanced at Akari's hair and looked away blushing slightly
"They even left a note" amaya said excitedly as she showed the note to kaito "hmm thats interesting" kaito said casually
"Anyways i was thinking of wandering around the village for a while" akari said trying to change the subject
"Good idea" amaya replied, already walking "that was close" akari sighed in relief as she began walking as well
Soon the two girls arrived at the town to look around when ryu came "hey Akari" ryu greeted as he waved at them
"Oh hello ryu" akari replied as she waved back "who's this?" Ryu asked as he pointed at amaya
"That's amaya, she's my friend" akari replied "and amaya this is ryu, he's the one that taught me the dragon dance" akari added as she introduced the two
"Nice to meet you amaya" ryu greeted "Nice to meet you too ryu" amaya replied "so he taught you the dragon dance?" Amaya asked as she turned to look at akari
"Yup, he taught me last night " akari replied "your friend's a fast learner" ryu said as he smiled warmly at akari
"Yup, she is" amaya replied smiling as she looked at akari, remembering their memories at Lunaris
"Anyways what are you two doing today?" Ryu asked "just wandering around the village" amaya replied
"Want me to show you around?" Ryu asked "sure, thanks" akari replied as the two of them started looking around with Ryu showing them the town
As they were walking, they passed by a group pf girls whispering at them. As they were walking, one of the girls shouted at them
"Hey you new comers, what are you doing with ryu?" She asked as jealousy seethed through her words
"He's just showing us around" akari replied calmly "well back off, he's noy yours" the girl threatened
"Please calm down" ryu said, trying to ease the growing tension "whats your problem?" Amaya asked, clenching her fist
"Stay away from ryu" the girl said as she stepped closer, ready to launch an attack "were just talking" akari replied, trying to calm everyone down
"I said stay away from him!" The girl shouted as she launched a fire attack heading towards Akari's direction
Akari immediately extinguished the attack with a water wave, still trying to be calm. "Calm down everyone, please" ryu said, sensing the growing tension
The girl ignored him and launched another attack heading to Akari's direction. Akari immediately stopped the attack again
Frustrated, the girl signalled for her friends to join her attack on Akari, launching many fire attacks in Akari's direction
Akari immediately dodged all the attacks cleanly while still trying to calm down and not attack as well
Meanwhile ryu and Amaya are watching in the sides, ready to intervene if needed. "Girls please calm down" ryu said trying to defuse the situation
"How dare you flirt with ryu!" One of the girls screamed launching a fatal attack at akari who dodged it yet again
"Ok thats it, I've had enough" akari said as she launched a water wave at them and freezing them in it
"Hey! Get us out!" The girls screamed as they tried to get out from being trapped in the ice
"Whoa Akari, calm down" amaya said as she rushed over to comfort akari who too a deep breath, trying to regain composure
"Sorry, i got a bit carried away" akari said as she finally calmed down again "I'll get them out" ryu said as he approached the girls who were still trapped on ice
"Don't worry I'll handle it" akari said as she moved to the front of the girls, getting ready to melt and remove the ice
With a deep breath, akari warmed the ice with her palm making it melt while the others stood in shock at the scene except amaya who knew it and ryu who discovered it while teaching akari the dragon dance last night
"How are you doing that?!" One of the girls asked in shock while akari remained silent, not wanting to tell them about her power as the hybrid
"There" akari said as she finished melting the ice with her palm, freeing the girls who were still shocked
Just then kaito arrived at the scene, sensing the tension that happened "what happened?" Kaito asked as he glanced at akari and the girls
"Its a long story" akari replied as she went to the river to cool off leaving kaito confused while staring at the others
"What happened?" Kaito asked again while the girls all left, still in shock from what they witnessed
"Those girls attacked akari and she snapped and kinda revealed her hybrid powers" amaya said, glancing at the girls as they left
"I'll go talk to her" kaito said as he left and went to the river where Akari was sitting
