Yay for me!!!


This chapter is kind of stupid, so if you just want to wait until next chapter, this part isn't really important to the story. Read it if you have extra time.

Chapter Five: Training, Training, and more Training


DAY ONE


"Okay, now try to move the cup without touching it." Lilac ordered. We were both sitting on the floor in Buddha-like style staring at a small wooden cup filled with water.


I stared intently at the cup, and to my surprise, it started to move.


As it lifted off the ground, I could see Lilac grinning on my side.


"Now move it over to me." She said.


It moved slowly, but eventually made its way over to her.


"Good!" She said.


"Really?" I asked, taking my eyes away from the cup. It fell onto Lilac, covering her head with water.


She glared angrily at me.


"Whoops!"

DAY TWO


"Okay, let's try something different." Lilac told me, placing a small yellow ball on the ground in front of me. We were now outside.


"Now, launch the ball into the forest as hard as you can." She ordered.


I visioned the ball going deep into the forest. It all of a sudden, shot straight up and almost flew into the forest.


"Whoa." Lilac stuttered, "that was really good."


Her praise was interrupted by a huge blue creature bursting through the trees. He glared angrily at us, holding up a very familiar ball.


"Did one of you throw this?" He growled, rubbing the back of his head.


"Nope, must of been someone else." Lilac chirped.


"Uh yeah, it wasn't us." I stammered.


He looked at us warily, and then turned back around, disappearing back into the forest.


"We should probably do something else." Lilac said.

DAY THREE


"You have been doing awfully well. It is time for the final test." Lilac said as we strolled out by the forest.


"You have to hurt me."


"What?" I said, very surprised, "Lilac, I couldn't...


She looked at me playfully. "Aw, is whittle Hyacinth afwaid?


"No, I just don't want to hurt you." I said.


"You're chicken. You know that you couldn't hit me if you tried." She cooed.


"Yes, I could." I said, starting to feel angry. I didn't understand why she was doing this.


"Chicken. Bwaak, bwaak!" She said, starting to flap her arms.


"LILAC!!" I screamed. I couldn't take it anymore.


She spun around, surprised by my outburst.


"I...AM...NOT...AFRAID!!!"


Her body suddenly slammed hard against the nearest tree.


I realized what I had just done. "Oh my gosh! Lilac, are you okay?" I screamed, running over to her.


"Yeah." She whispered, struggling to stand up, "Yeah, I'm just fine. That was wonderful!!"


I helped her to her feet. "You know what? I just had an idea. I have this friend. He and Kurama, go back a few years, I guess you would call them good friends. I'm sure he would be happy to help the cause." She said happily, pleased with her idea. "I'll talk to him tonight."


*****************************************************************************


This was my fourth night sleeping on the floor, and I was starting to get used to it. As I lay on my back, staring at the dirt ceiling, I couldn't think of anything else but Shuichi and what Lilac had said...


I hope you know that Sapphire beats, tortures, and starves her victims...


I couldn't sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I could see horrible visions that I never wanted to see in real life.


I have to find him, before it's too late.


*****************************************************************************
