Gaining Powers

[Mesutashi Niaku]

Mesutashi took a deep breath before entering the Ministry of Magic. Her hands were a bit shaky. She was nervous because today she would hopefully be receving the information she needed on shadow powers. She had been showing the signs of having them for about a month now, but she had to make sure she had them, and if so, she would need books or training for them.

She walked slowly and purposely up to the front desk, trying to hide her anxious composure. "Hello, I'm here to see the Ministress. If you could direct me to her office I would be very grateful, please."

A few moments later, a knock was heard on Kiki's door and her secretary poked her head around the corner, announcing that Kiki's next appointment was here. Kiki had been enjoying the lull in the day - it was blissfully out of the ordinary and Kiki had learnt quickly to savour these moments for more often then not you were rushed off your feet.

Kiki nodded for her secretary to send the girl in and she winked at Bob Rainbow, one of the portraits on her walls that showed all the Ministers and Ministeresses that existed.

Mesutashi was lead into the Ministresses office. She stood, waiting to be offered a seat. Meanwhile she addressed her purpose for coming. "As I believe I contacted you earlier about, I am here on the matter of some powers I had been showing signs of. I believe they might be some potentially powerful shadow magic. I figured I should come here to confirm such a theory and see what I am to do about it."

Mesu had spoken politely, but pointedly. She wanted to get straight to business as she had little time to dally these days. Her easy-going facade slipped to one of tension and worry for a moment as she recalled the reason for such limited freedom. Then the moment was gone and Mesutashi stood once again with a gentle smile gracing her lips.

[Kiki]

Kiki admired the girl for her fothright manner - it was rare to get that along with the note of respect that appeared underlying Mesutahi's words. Kiki gestured to the seat in front of her desk and artfully flicked her mass of black hair into a loose bun at the back of her head.

"Very well." Kiki thought for a moment. "Now, what exactly has been happening that you've come to the conclusion of your shadow magic?" Kiki decided it was best that she clarify what was actually happening with the magic before they made any rash decisions.

Mesutashi took a seat. "Well," she replied. "I think it's best to show you. It's a bit hard to explain." Mesutashi first relaxed her shoulders and focused a bit on her inner self, closing her eyes. She found the shadow quickly these days. In just seconds her brown hair turned black from root to tip and shortened. Then her eyes, when she opened them, were a completely white in place of the cerulean blue from before. "This is merely the appearance I've gained. There's also two powers I've seemed to come across so far." She raised her hand and focused some of the energy from the shadow into it. A misty orb formed. She aimed it at a whirling gadget near the door and let it loose. It started to difuse before it reached the object, but some of it made contact and the object stopped moving. The shadow had enveloped it and the object obsorbed it. All Mesu had to do was invision the shadow immobilised in the shape of the machine to get it to obey. The hold on it stopped though after only a moment.

"Power one. Next..." Mesutashi took a breath.

She looked to a shadow cast by a clock on the Ministress' desk. She had to focus a lot on it, but it breifly started to shift. She was trying to get it to look like a monkey, but it only squirmed under her intense gaze. She let out the breath in an exasperated manner and hung her head. "Well that one doesn't work so well. I only realized I had it the other day in my dorm." Mesu shrugged.

"So, ma'am, what are your thoughts on this?" Mesu locked eyes with the Ministress curiously.
