1Loving You
Chapter 10
"AGAIN!" came Chakra's voice.
Kitana was on the ground. Chakra had told her that the only way to bring out her power was in battle. Kitana rose to her feet, panting.
"You must feel it," Chakra said forcefully, "Now try again."
Chakra burst forward and knocked Kitana to the ground again.
"Your not trying!" she yelled, "I thought you would be at least like your father, your mother is a worthless thing."
Kitana looked up with an angry glare. She felt a burning sensation go through her body. Fire was burning at her fingertips. She ran at Chakra but missed as she dodged. Kitana reached for her bow and arrows and poised for attack as her weapon burst into flames, but she found she could touch it and her weapon wasn't burning up.
Kitana let the arrow go, heading straight at Chakra but it was deflected. By her mother who had jumped down from the trees.
"Well, it seems your daughter'sYouko power is Fire," Chakra said smiling.
"Did you hear what she said about you mom!!!? How can you just stand there!?" Kitana said in a fury.
"Yes but she didn't mean it,"Reina said, "Anger is the perfect way to bring out your inner power."
Kitana looked from her mom to Chakra., both were smiling at her.
Kitana walked along the hills of the Youko valley when she heard a voice from behind her.
"Hello young one," Yokuro said walking up, "Y'know you're a lot like your mother. She used to walk up here a lot. Let me guess you were just thinking?"
Kitana nodded.
"Y'know," he said after a moment, " I asked your mother to be my mate one time, but she refused because of my brother."
Kitana felt every muscle in her body tense.
"Don't worry," Yokuro said sensing her thoughts, "I'm not the jealous type."
Kitana relaxed.
"Well, I'm off," he said with a quick wink. He started to run off down the hill but turned around to look at her.
"You do look an awful much like your mother," and with that he left her to her thoughts.
Back at the Den
Kurama was sitting by the river with his back
leaning against a tree when Shoma and Kazuya arrived there.
"Hey Uncle Kurama," Shoma said walking up to him.
Kurama grunted in reply.
"You wanna spar?" Kazuya suggested.
"No."
"Why not?"
Kurama gave a low dangerous growl which made the boys take a few steps back.
"Uh, are you hungry?" Shoma said trying to get out and cheer him up.
"No."
"So what do you want to do?" Kazuya said.
Kurama showed his teeth.
"Nothing," he said clenching together his fangs.
The boys backed up more.
"Um, well if Kitana gets back will you tell her that we went to the Ningenkai for Koenma?"
Kurama nodded.
The boys turned and ran.
"What's eating him?" Kazuya said as they ran.
It was nighttime and the herd had assembled together.
Reina and Yokuro were standing in the middle of the crowd which had a platform in front of them.
Kitana proceeded through the crowd as they parted for her. She was dressed from head to toe in red.
She walked to the platform and stood upon it.
Yokuro stepped forward.
"Herd, I proudly present to you Kitana..."
As her name was said fire spewed around her like a dragon, circling her entire body.
"The Fire Maiden."
