and also, Jade will still have those killer headaches...
=================================
Chapter 10
Jade slowly opened her eyes, her head still aching in pain. She found herself in the sickbay
of the school. Remembering what happened, she thought silently.
'Damn, i'm always fainting in front of Mr Aoshi, he must have thought that i'm a useless
weakling who couldn't handle a small headache..'
Jade then slapped her hand against her forehead.
'Jade Hanashi! What the hell are you thinking about! Why should you care how Mr Aoshi thinks
of you' Jade scolded herself.
Just then, Aoshi walked in.
"Sensei!" Jade exclaimed, surprised.
"Are you feeling better?" Aoshi asked.
"Yes. I should get back to class now." Jade tried to get up but was stopped by Aoshi.
"Just rest. You are excused from class remember?"
"Oh. Right."
==============================
The following hours were of silence while Aoshi meditated and Jade watched him in awe.
Jade, tired and bored by the silence, spoke up.
"Sensei, why did you choose me for the training?"
Aoshi stopped meditating and turned towards her.
"I mean, you could choose Yuki or Sakura or those girls who always seem to be very happy to
cooperate with you..."
Aoshi nearly smiled.
"Jade, so you're saying you're not happy to cooperate with me?"
"No.No.. Not at all. I mean, i think i gave you a bad impression of myself."
"Well, actually, i think you're quite a nice and independent student and the government wanted me
to choose capable students to be invovled.(haha)"
"Oh, but i'm not sure i could do it. My martial arts sucked. You have always kicked my butt when
we were sparring during physical education."
Aoshi did not reply but asked.
"Jade, why did you keep having those headaches?"
Jade hesitated for a while, before replying.
"I don't know, i feel as though someone wants me to know something, something about myself, my life,
i don't know. Aaron always say that my life is more than just being simple like this..."
Not wanting to continue, Jade changed the topic again.
"So, Sensei, why are you so cold towards everyone?" Jade ventured.
Seeing that Aoshi was silent, Jade tried to change the topic again but Aoshi stopped her.
"Well, i'm not cold to everyone, especially people who are close to my heart."
"Oh, your girlfriend you mean?"
"She, she's my happiness, to phrase it in this way. Everytime i'm with her, i find peace
and happiness."
"Is she good at martial arts?"
Aoshi nearly grinned at this.
"Hm..not exactly, but she's improving everyday."
"Sensei, i'm sure you would find her."
"Well, i think i will too." Aoshi replied, giving Jade one of his rare smiles.
==================================
The "training" sessions began.
Everytime, Aoshi will try to "regain" Jade/Misao's skills back in Kempo and in Kunai throwing.
"Ok Jade, today we are going to train in Kunai throwing."
"Woah, these are just like the knives Aki gave me!" Jade cried out excitedly.
"Yes, You must throw them carefully or you'll injure yourself."
Aoshi then taught Jade the basics of Kunai throwing, starting with close range throwing and then
slowly to far range throwing. It was then Aoshi realised that Jade/Misao did not lose her skills
afterall. They were slowly coming back to her.
The following training sessions were of Kempo and Aoshi wanted to train her stamina and agility first.
He then brought her to the woods nearby and instructed her to jump from tree to tree.
"WHAT?JUMP FROM TREE TO TREE?" That was Jade's reaction when she first heard what she was supposed
to do.
She then practiced by jumping short distances first, then moved on to larger distances on the ground.
It was when Aoshi thinks that she is ready for the "trees".
Taking a careful step towards the highest branch, Jade prepared to take the flying leap.
It was a nice jump with a beautiful landing.
Jade grinned and with much more confidence, jumped from tree to tree successfully.
She then came to the last tree in the woods, one of the longest distance the she needed to jump.
Preparing to take off, took a running step towards the jump.
The flashes of white in her mind came suddenly.
"An oniwanbanshu will NEVER give up easily!"
"She taking a huge jump"
"A man with red hair saving her."
=end of flashes=
Her head was aching terribly now, her hands moved to clutch her head tightly and she lost her
balance.
Aoshi, watching from below, sensed that something was wrong, ran forward to catch her before
she landed heavily on the ground. He caught her just in time and held her tightly in his arms
while he landed.
Jade looked and Aoshi and blushed.
"Sorry Sensei, i wasn't focused."
Aoshi then put her down and asked,
"What were you thinking about?"
"I , urm, some images flashed through my mind, like this guy with red hair..."
"Kenshin." Aoshi blurted out.
"Huh? Who?" Jade asked, confused.
"Oh nothing, just a friend."
==============================
Another week passed.
Aoshi was running out of time. He had to bring Jade back to the Meiji Era today whether
she was ready or not.
Interupting her class once more, Aoshi brought her into the woods.
"Sensei, are we jumping trees again?"
"Jade, i, i.. i'm going to bring you to a special place all right.."
"Where?"
"You'll see."
Aoshi opened the shell Boshin gave him and whispered in it.
A blue swirl of energy started to form around them.
Jade started to panic. She was scared now.
=Jade's POV=
Oh god. Why did Mr Aoshi bring me here?
And why is there an energy circle around us?
What is he trying to do?
=end POV=
Jade then decided to run away but was stopped by Aoshi.
"Jade, come here!" Aoshi ordered.
"NO! Get away from me.." Jade cried out as she turned to run.
With lightning speed, Aoshi caught up with her and knocked her unconcious.(Sorry i couldn't think
of a more suitable way) Carrying Jade, he jumped into the ball of swirling energy before it disappeared.
