OMG! I HATE WRITERS BLOCK! Heh heh, hey guys. Sorry I didn't update for so long. I truly am sorry. I could give you a list of my excuses, but I won't. I think the number one reason I have not been updating is that I just started high school. That's right, I am now a big (except in height, I hate being short) 9th grader. So I have been very busy lately. There are many other reasons, but as I said before, I won't.

Think you every body who reviewed. About the posting stories thing, thank you every body who tried to help, but the name of the web site wouldn't show up on the review. Not to worry though! I have found a few sites that I can use. I will tell you them later once I pick one. If you like this story, you will love my other stories. I will give a brief summary of each.

One of my stories is pure romance. It's called I fell in love with a dream. It's about a girl who, you guessed it; fell in love with a man. The problem is, he only exists in her dreams. It's much better than it sounds and it's very fluffy and sweet. It's also based on one of my dreams! I once had a dream that I met this guy, and I fell in love with him! I was so sad when I woke up, I almost cried. This story has a happy ending thankfully.

I will give the summary to my other story in the next update. I don't want to waste this update on nothing but junk. Oh! I almost forgot! Thank you everybody that gave me ideas for this update. I was so lost, but when I read your reviews, the next chapter very slowly came to me. A special thanks goes to Red Kitsune Flames. Thank you so much!

Now, what you have all been waiting for (for about three months, sorry ' ), the update is here! cheer cheer. And don't kill me if it sucks.

Chapter 9

Kurama could hardly believe it! Hiei was going to train him! Kurama thought about it while he walked down the hall. When he made it back to his room, he flopped on the bed (A/N: He he! Can you picture Kurama flopping on a bed? In my mind it looks weird. Sorry.) I wonder what kind of training it will be. He thought about it for some time, and then sighed. He decided to go to bed, the days events had worn him out. After pulling on his sleeping clothes, he pulled back the covers and fell a sleep instantly.

As sunlight shined in the window, Kurama got up. He yawned and stretch a little before getting out of bed. He made his way to the hall and down to the kitchen for breakfast. Seeing nobody around, he made some toast and ate in silence. It will be noon soon (A/N: XD it rhymes). I had better get ready. Kurama went back to his room and got dressed. Being an ex-thief, he was able to find his way to the green house without any help.

Kurama opened the door to the green house. As he had expected it, the room was empty; it was still some time before noon. He made his way to a chair in the corner and sat down, admiring the plants. Hiei entered at exactly noon. He nodded to Kurama to come over.

"The first thing I will teach you is how to properly meditate," at Kurama's look of surprise, he went on, "Meditation is important because it teaches you how to control your power. (A/N: I have never meditated before and I'm making this up as I go or am going on information I heard and/or read.) When you meditate, you do not have to sit cross legged and hold out your arms like they do in the movies. I find that sitting that way only makes my legs fall asleep. You can sit any way you wish, as long as you are relaxed. You must clear your mind of all thought and try not to think of anything. This will prove to be more of a challenge then it sounds. Your mind will wish to wonder, so if you start to think, just stop yourself and clear your mind again. To distract yourself so that you do not think, try counting your breaths, starting from 1 and moving up to 4. When you reach 4, count that set as 1 and start again. When you finish that set, move on to 2, and so on, and so forth. Meditation will teach you discipline, self control, it relaxes you, and it will help control your powers. Let's begin."

Hiei took a seat in a chair, Kurama following his example. Hiei then closed his eyes and soon his breathing became slow and even. If Kurama had not known better, he would have thought he was sleeping. The small child blinked once, twice, then closed his eyes. He sat for what seemed like forever before he opened one of his eyes and looked at his watch. He stifled a groan when it said he had been sitting there for 2 minutes. How much longer did he have to keep this up for? He forced himself to go back to his meditating.

Fifteen minutes later, Kurama jumped when he felt a hand touch his shoulder. He snapped his eyes open to see Hiei standing over him. "You have done well for your first time," Hiei remarked.

"Will it always be this hard?"

"No. Your mind will grow accustom to it, soon you will be able to meditate for as long 30 minutes or longer, if you wish." Kurama didn't think he would ever make it to that long, but didn't say any of this out loud.

"Next, I will teach you the basics of hand to hand combat." For the next hour, Hiei showed Kurama how to do basic punches and kicks, correcting him when he needed it. He also showed him how to block attacks. Hiei was pleased with how fast Kurama learned and gave him small encouragements like a simple "good" or "ya, you got it." He was careful not to hurt any of Kurama's many bruises.

"Ok, we are done for today with hand to hand combat," Kurama sighed in relief and wiped the sweat from his brow, "but your education does not stop there. Kurama, can you read?"

Kurama was a little taken aback by the question but answered truthfully, "no, I never went to school and Scar didn't teach me."

"Then I will have to teach you. I will not have you run around ignorant. I will also teach you math and all that other stuff you need to know. Relax the rest of the day; we will do this again tomorrow, same time. Your muscles will be sore, but you will get use to it and over time, you will get to the point where such simple exercises will be nothing but a warm up." Then he left leaving Kurama to his thoughts.

Wow, I kind of made them more OOC then normal, don't ya think? Ok, so again, I'm sorry for taking so long to update, blame it on school. By the way, does any body want to know what my pen name means? Everybody knows kitsune means fox, but what about the rest? Well, if anybody has ever watched Steel Angel Kurumi, they would know that moga is slang for girl, in Japanese of course. And tochi means soil, earth, or ground. Why did I make it soil? It was an accident. What I meant was like earth the element, because that is my favorite element. So when I looked up earth as in element, it gave me soil. I didn't realize until later. So my penname is soil fox girl.

I will try to update faster, but I will not make any promises. Please review. Just a simple hello will do. Not only do I like the comments, tips, questions, and other things, but I like seeing who has read my story. So review, even if you have nothing to say.
