Thank you all for reviewing, favoriting, and following my story again. I hope you like this story so far.
I wanted to warn you guys that this chapter takes place a few months later.
Also, a reviewer reminded me to mention that Minami, Miyuki's other Guardian, is no longer here. She is working elsewhere. The deal that Miyuki and Maya made also includes that Miyuki no longer needs a guardian.
Please Enjoy!

Training Ground in America
I saw a man charging at me with his fist. I used my right hand to block his punches. I grabbed his right wrist with my right hand and flung him downwards. Another man came charging at me and swung his fist and leg at me. I dodged all his attacks and when I had the chance I used my right leg to kick his chest. When he flew backwards, more people charged at me. I continued defeating them one after another.
"How was that Sensei?"
"Perfect. I think that's good enough today. You have trained long enough."
"Sensei, can you spar with me?"
"Are you sure, Miyuki-kun? You have already fought for 3 hours. Can you handle it?"
"Yes."
"Alright."
For these past seven to eight months, I spent all my days improving my health. The doctor says that if I exercise and go out more, I would get better. I decided to learn physical combat and kendo, and Sensei agreed to teach me. I also spent my time improving my magic. I have an easier time controlling my magic, my magic would not go out of control anymore. I have gotten used to using my magic with and without using my Mental Interference Magic, magic limiter.
Also, now my zone-interference scale and range is larger and stronger than my second cousin, Kuroba Ayako.
During my first month of training, I started with the basics of physical combat. During my second month of training, I practiced the techniques of physical combat and magic. During my third month of training, I practiced on my strength. My physical combat and magic is even more powerful than a couple months ago. During my fourth month of training, I mainly focused on my control. I am now able to aim at any target easily and with more control. During my fifth month of training, I practiced on my strategies in battles. During the rest of my months training, I combined all the new skills I learned and improved them altogether.
I began my training the day I ran away. I left Japan and traveled with Sensei to America because I didn't want Onii-sama to find me. Although I technically dropped out of First High School, I did not slack off on my studies. Every day, I would spent most of my time either training or studying. I guess I am in better shape than I used to be. I look less anemic and a bit healthier, but I still have to do the surgery. Every week, I visit the doctor to see how I'm doing. He says that I am getting better everyday.
It still hurts me to know that I am no longer by Onii-sama's side, but I know this is for the best. Knowing that Onii-sama is free, is all I need to keep on living. Nothing matters to me besides this. That is the only reason why I fight so hard to keep on living.
(*panting*)
My sparring with Sensei ended when I fell to the ground.
"You have clearly mastered physical combat, I had to use magic to spar with you. Well done, Miyuki-kun."
"Thank you, Sensei. Sensei, I forgot to mention, Merry Christmas."
"Oh, Merry Christmas to you too, Miyuki-kun."
"Sensei, this is for you."
I handed Sensei my gift to him, a pair of store-bought black gloves.
"Thank you, Miyuki-kun."
"I also wanted to thank you for everything you have done for me. I am very grateful."
As I said these words, I bowed in front of Sensei.
"You're very welcome, Miyuki-kun."
"Sensei, I know its Christmas, but I am going to visit Japan. I will return as soon as possible."
As I turned around and was about to leave, I heard Sensei shout out in a teasing voice, "Oh, yes. Don't forget to say hi to Tatsuya for me."
"Sensei!"
I quickly left before Sensei saw my embarrassed yet smiling face.
I ran to the airport. The flight to Japan wasn't too long, around 2-3 hours. When I landed, it was morning in their time. I felt the cool wind blow my face. I left the airport and went to the house thinking, "I missed you, Japan."
I came to Japan to check on Onii-sama. I haven't seen him for about eight months. I wasn't planning to talk to Onii-sama or meet him face to face. I planned on dropping off my Christmas gift I made for him and going back to America.
The first thing I did was erase my presence and check if Onii-sama was in the house. I didn't sense his presence so I opened the door to the house. I was relieved that my key to the house still worked.
When I went to the house, I saw the big Christmas tree in the living room. It was so beautiful. I thought, "Onii-sama did a wonderful job decorating the tree." I knew that I couldn't stay here too long so I carefully placed my present under the Christmas tree and exited the house.
Now that I'm back, I wanted to see what I missed most in Japan, besides Onii-sama. I walked along the streets of Japan, it was so dazzling. Christmas was my favorite time of year. I loved how there were colorful decorations in the streets and-
My thoughts were yet again interrupted.
Although I was wearing a navy blue cap, I spotted Onii-sama.
We were about 30 feet apart. We were so close, yet so far.
Before I could stare at him any longer, Onii-sama saw me. We locked eyes. Both our eyes widened because we didn't expect to see each other.
He looked the same as he did before, but I could tell he grew a bit taller. I was glad to see that he was doing well.
We continued to stare at each other, but I was the first one to look away. As soon as I did that, I saw Onii-sama cross the street and walk towards me. I clenched my fist and turned around. Before I could let him walk any closer, I walked away. Luckily, I didn't have to run because crowds of people were coming to see the Christmas parade. There were so many people that I had no problem escaping from Onii-sama's eyes. Also, because there were so many people Onii-sama didn't use Elemental Sight.
I got through the crowd and turned around to see if Onii-sama was following me.
A part of me was relieved that he wasn't following me, while another part of me was sad. I knew that I can not have these thoughts, but I couldn't help it. "At least I know that Onii-sama is fine. That's all I need. That's all I need.", is what I constantly thought and repeated to myself.
I quickly ran to the airport, I didn't want to risk any chance of Onii-sama finding me. Fortunately, Onii-sama didn't find me and I was able to get an earlier flight back to America. During the flight, all I thought about was Onii-sama. I was glad that I got to see him, but I also regretted seeing him.
Seeing Onii-sama again, brought back these feelings I worked so hard to bottle up over these past months.
But when I arrived back in America, I erased these feelings and thoughts and walked back...home.
I guess you can say I went back to my…my… well, new and stronger self.
