Chapter 7

Dealing with Kiragi

The blonde haired archer was in the forest as usual. He had been tracking a deer for the last couple of yards. He drew his bow and brandish an arrow. He is about to strike the deer down when a rustle can be heard coming from the buses below. The deer looks up from grazing, only to immediately run away frightened. Kiragi groans and turns to investigate the rustling.

" Whoever that is, come out now" Kiragi said mildly irritated.

Kiragi is looking irritated as Elise then appears looking mildly irritated herself. He then has a look of surprise.

" Oh hey Mom how's it going" Kiragi asked with a nervous look.

" Kiragi what are you doing out here" Elise asked still looking irritated

" What do you mean? I'm always out here" Kiragi said as his smiled dropped

" Exactly you're always out here, when absolutely shouldn't be" Elise said pointing her finger at him.

" Why can't I be out here" Kiragi asked nervously.

" Look I'm not saying that you can't be out here in the woods, I'm just saying you shouldn't always be out here. It's good that you've sharpened your physical skills by being out in the woods but now I'm thinking you should sharpen your mental skills by studying" Elise explained.

" But why" Kiragi asked unenthusiastic.

" Because I don't want you to fall behind" Elise said concerned

" Look I don't need to study. I'm perfectly fine being a little behind everyone else" Kiragi said trying to convince his mother.

Elise looks at Kiragi funny

" Yeah. You're going to your room and studying young man" Elise said sternly

" I don't want to and you can't make me" Kiragi yelled

" I am your mother young man and you will listen to me" Elise said back angrily

" No" Kiragi yelled before he ran.

" You get back here this instance" Elise yelled as he ran into the forest.

After the whole incident with Kiragi, Elise found herself talking to her husband. Elise was resting her head on his lap, while he was reading a book.

" I just don't get Takumi. I explained to him that he can't always be out in the woods and he just ignored me" Elise complained to her husband

" The boy really likes the outdoors and he's also a bit stubburn. Like someone else I know" Takumi said playfully.

" What's that supposed to mean" Elise asked defensively.

" I'm just joking honey" Takumi replied giggling slightly.

" This is serious. I don't know how to get through to him" Elise said fustrated

" I'm sorry. It's just that I've been there and done that" Takumi explained.

" What do you mean" Elise asked curious.

" Long story. But basically want you want him to do his studies then you have to do it in a way that makes sense to him " Takumi explained.

Elise strokes her chin. Kiragi is walking through the camp looking crestfallen when he comes across Elise walking in his direction.

" Oh hey Mom" Kiragi said softly

" Hi" Elise said back

" Listen I'd just like to say. I'm sorry for yelling at you like that. I didn't mean any disrespect by it. I'm just not good at studying. Reading, math problems, it's all just so hard to me" Kiragi explained.

" Well that's the thing your father and I were talking and he helped me come to a realisation. So if you'll come with me I think you'll find studying is not that hard" Elise replied.

" Okay Mom what did you have in mind" Kiragi said

Takumi was stringing a bow when he was tackled by his blonde haired wife. She hugs him.

" It worked. It worked" Elise said happily.

" What worked" Takumi asked curious.

" The advice you gave me about Kiragi" Elise answered

" Oh that's fantastic" Takumi replied

" Yeah teaching him was actually pretty although he did get fustrated a few times like someone else" Elise said

" What's that suppose" Takumi said

" I'm just joking" Elise said

" Oh you " Takumi said as he picked her up and brought her in for a kiss.
