Chapter 34
Time Skip-
After three day of rigorous training, but three years for Gray and Shinji due to purgatory, the group trained on.
Nae- Nae woke. 'Three days...' He thought. 'Three days since all of this started. Since I became leader. It's not as easy as Gray made it look.' Nae said turning over
Claire-Claire woke up and sleepily said good morning to Nae.
Nae- Nae turned over to face her. "Morning beautiful." Nae said smiling.
Claire-"shut up i haven't done my hair yet!"she said looking at him.
Nae- "You still look amazing." Nae said kissing her.
Claire-"i love you." she said before kissing him back.
Nae- Nae smiled. "You sure? That's what you said last morning too."
Claire-"hmmmmmmm..."she said smiling,"yea i think so."
Nae- "Not getting cold feet?"
Claire-Claire laughed and kissed him,"when we gonna get married?"
Nae- "Uh- I dunno...I guess we didn't really choose a date eh? What day of the week to start off?"
Claire-Claire sat up with a start,"Day of the week...Shit is today monday?"
Nae- "No, it's a wednesday." Nae said sitting up as well "Why?"
Claire-Claire layed back down,"no reason."
Nae- "Well then we can't get married on a monday." Nae said putting his arms behind his head.
Claire-"How bout saturday?"she asked.
Nae- "Nope." Nae said staring at the ceiling
Claire-"why not?"she asked.
Nae- "No one gets married on a saturday."
Claire-"actually lots of people do now."
Nae- "What other days besides Saturday and Monday work for you?"
Claire-"I dunno."
Nae- "I'm just skrewin with ya, I any day works for me." Nae said laughing.
Claire-Claire smiled,"you can pick the day."
Nae- "Oh uh...How's Saturday?" Nae said smirking.
Claire-Claire kissed him,"Saturday's perfect."
Nae- Nae kissed her back and sighed. "...Do you think I'm doing a good job...since Gray's been gone?..."
Claire-Claire sighed as her eyes welled up with tears,"youre doing just fine,"
Nae- "I've been wondering myself. I force them to get up at the crack of dawn, do 2000 push ups, then run 15 miles everyday while being chased by Ane at lightspeed. Then, when the're all worn out, I force them to fight. I just think I'm pushing too much. I don't think it's something Gray would do."
Claire-"I dunno Nae. I mean although i5s a lot we can see that you have good intentions. i think we just need to take a day off of training. You've been kinda...distant lately."
Nae- "I know...It changed me. I had to reap my friends soul. I had to watch them die. I didn't want this. And I'm trying to avoid it in the future."
Claire-"yeah, I get it. Rhondas really wrecked from this whole thing. I tried to say something to her and she just told me not to talk about Gray because I didn't understand because I don't have feelings or whatever."
Nae- "...Ya, if I hadn't gotten blown up...I could have stopped all of this..." Nae said feeling really bad.
Claire-"Its not your fault."
Nae- Nae got up. "I guess. We should probably get going. The other's are waiting."
Claire-"yea I guess so"
Nae- "But uh-" Nae blushed "Maybe we should put some clothes on?"
Later That Day
Kai- "Damn Nae...I am tired as hell!" huffed out Kai as he downed another whole bottle of water.
Nae- Nae, after nine straight hours of training, had just started to feel warm. "No you're not." Nae said cutting the bottle in half. "You're going to beat me even after all that extra heavy shit I made you do."
Kai- "Nae, I need that water. What do you think blood spawns form?" asked Kai.
Nae- Nae threw him a large bottle of water. "Down it. You have five, four, three, two, one."
Kai- "Easy." said Kai as he downed the bottle.
Raze- "Stop fooling around you two, we still have three more hours of sparring." said Raze stopping his season with Takeo to tell them this.
Nae- "You're done." Nae said flashing behind Kai and hitting him hard with the blunt side of his katana.
Kai- Kai coughed. "Shit, that stings Nae." said Kai as he turned around, now holding the back of his neck.
Nae- "Then, dodge it." Nae said doing it again but from the front.
Kai- Kai jumped back, dodging this time successfully. "That was a close one." said Kai.
Nae- "Not quite." Nae said from above him as he brought the blunt end down on his head.
Kai- "Owwwwww!" whined Kai. "I am going to be a brainless zombie by the time we are done cause you are giving me so many head injuries!" said Kai as he shot Blood Drills at Nae out of frustration.
Nae- "By the time were done you'll be able to dodge a fucking attack." Nae said dodging Kai's "Like that." Nae said hitting Kai's side.
Kai- "Whatever." said Kai as he fell to the ground from the hit.
Nae- "If any of you think you have what it takes to spare me and hit me step forward. Because I would hope that after three days you would have the fucking balls to do so." Nae said looking around.
Takeo- "My hits might not hurt much unless I actually use my sword but I think I can at least hit you once with the speed I have." said Takeo
Nae- "Then put your big boy pants on and hit me." Nae said not even bothering to take a stance.
Takeo- Takeo dashed over not even moving, breaking the sound barrier, and slashed into Nae with equal speed with his sword in his left hand.
Nae- Nae was behind him. He place his palm on Takeo's back, fingers splayed "Boom." Nae said as he let out a blast of black aura.
