Hey sorry I couldn't post sooner the internet hasn't been working : / but I hope this chapter makes up for that

please leave reviews

"what?" I asked smiling at him

"you realize I am stronger than you" Ryura said squinting his eyes at me

"pft I'd love to see that" I said rolling my eyes

he winked and started pushing his arms back up and I fought to keep them pinned. He pushed my hands off and threw me off of him.

Bankotsu stood up and got ready to get Ryura.

"sit down Bankotsu" I said standing back up "he ain't nothing special"

"I tend to disagree I find my self very special" Ryura said smiling at my wiping himself off

"oh please" I laughed at him

"oh yeah?" he grinned at me

"yeah"

He walked to me and picked me up and put me against the tree behind me

"you're awful small to be talking so big" he said laughing at me

"I got a few tricks up my sleeve" I said as I grabbed to branch above me and pulled out of his grip and pulled myself into the tree

"pft" Ryura rubbed his hand through his bangs "any SMALL person could do that"

"ugh!" I gave him a disgusted look "you shut up!"

Ryura backed up from the tree "and what are you gonna do" he gave me a big grin "huh? little girl"

I knew he had a plan but I still didn't care I jumped out of the tree at him and he caught me and threw me on his shoulder

"I told you" he said laughing "I am stronger that you" he started to walk off with me on his shoulder

"hey where are you going?" Bankotsu asked crossing his arms

"be back before dark" my mother said grinning and sipping her tea

"mother!"

she laughed

"I know how to walk stupid!" I said putting my elbows in Ryura's back propping myself up

"I would hope so but I'm afraid that I may just have to carry you for a while" he said as he poked my side with his hand

"hey!" said stopping myself from laughing "don't do that!"

"oh are you ticklish?" he said laughing

"no!" I lied

I poked him in the side and he jerked

"Don't do it to me either!"

"oh what's the matter huh? are you ticklish?"

"yes I am so don't do that!" he said laughing

Before I knew it we were outside the castle and walking along a trail further away

"where are we going" I asked nervously

"what you don't trust me?" he asked

"uh no not really actually"

"that hurts" he said hitting his chest "you'll see"
