chapter 15
kioku stood staring at the shining silver wepons laying in the grass in front of yoru. the other boy sat legs crossed, sorting through kuuni, swords, shuriken, and other such things. "take your pick." he said as he momentarily glanced up to kioku, taking in the person who was living with yoake. kioku stood awkwardly, shifting his weight. yoru sighed, then examined a sword. he held it up to kioku. "this seems to fit you. yoake-san had me make her one, it was her learning sword. i made this one too, it's much better then that older one, i bet she got rid of it long ago. this one will last long enough though." he said as kioku took the blade. it was an odd blade, straight, but its length didn't fit any standards. it was longer then a kodachi, but shorter then a katana. even to kioku who had no knoledge in wepons, or at least that he could remeber, he knew this was a well made sword. yoru handed him the sheath, and he put it in.
the purple haired boy also got out a holster, and put some wepons in it, and also a pouch and did the same. then he through them to kioku, and the red haired boy fasened them, and also fasened the sword to his side. "ever use a sword?" yoru asked. kioku froze for an instant. then when he noticed yoru had seen him tense he laughed slightly.
"nope." his reply was shaken. 'i thought he knew, if yoake-san didn't tell him...should i?' he thought to himself. he felt torn for a moment between saying somthing or not. then he decided agianst it, thinking she must have had a reason for not saying any thing...right?
" 'kay, i'll teach you some time. for now though, since we are going to start sparing in a few minuets just rely on jutsu and hand to hand i guess." the other boy shruged as he selected a few wepons for himself, then put the rest away.
"okay. thanks" kioku said as he bowed, then walked back over to yoake. "yoake-san, yoru-san seems really nice." kioku said smileing. yoake smiled in return, but the smile seemed to only be on the outside. kioku let the smile fade, and he took another step closer to yoake. he put his hand on her head, and she looked up. "please don't fake smiles, i already told you, not for my sake." the smile vanished from her face, and her eyes darkened. she lowered her head, and kioku put his hand down to her shoulder. "i want you to be able to smile for real." he whispered. her leg moved back slightly, and he pulled his hand away.
"okay." she whispered, she looked back to him, and scaned his eyes. "i would like it if i didn't have to fake it any more." she shifted her weight awkwardly. he despretly wanted to move closer, to hug her, kiss her even...but he kept his mind blank, not wanting to do somthing wrong.
"okay kids, time to start training." toge said, yoru stood, and walked to the middle of the clearing with his sensai. yoake walked briskly past kioku, and he folowed soon after. "sparing pairs, yoru and yoake you two first, then i will spar with kioku-kun myself." she said. yoake and yoru turned.
"why can't i fight him sensai?" yoake asked.
"yeah, why not one of us." yoru pouted.
"yoru since you're jelous i wouldn't put it past you to kill him." toge shruged. yoru laughed to himself, knowing it was true. yoake once agian looked to her sensai pleadingly. "and yoake...you havn't learned to control yourself yet, it's been 2 year and you still-... you might end up killing him, and i might not be able to stop it." she said, yoake looked pale, and then she slumped over to a starting position.
kioku stood beside toge, and was watching on as yoru and yoake were getting ready. yoake's fighting position was a cross between a cat getting ready to pounce or dodge, but also like a wolf with power behind it but ready to take a blow. "you bite me i claw you." she almost growled to yoru.
his position looked more snake like, he looked coiled, and ready to strike. but also he looked like he was hiding, and ready to ambush a rat. "of corse i'm going to bite you, snakes don't have fangs for nothing." he hissed. to kioku it seemed like a fight of two animals more then two ninja.
"ready. and start." toge comanded, both ninja seemed to disapear in a fight for survival.
