CROWSCHAPTER FIFTEEN: MASTER TAKEO
"Your team think you're still in Tokyo, the triad however have spread out all over Japan" Jet began
"We'll have to pay them a visit sometime," Quinn grinned before tucking into her chicken stir-fry.
"This is delicious" Tyson mumbled with his mouth full of food.
Quinn raised her eyebrows almost in shock at his table manners.
"Tyson you're embarrassing me," Mr Granger yelled
"Thanks I'm glad you enjoy my cooking, as you can see we don't have many guests" she smiled
"If your team mates think you're still in Tokyo, where are we?" Kenny asked
"Somewhere between Tokyo and Osaka" Quinn replied before finishing her meal.
Once she had finished she excused herself from the table.
"Where are you going?" Max asked
She glanced at Mr Granger then at Max.
"Training, don't worry, you can use my blading arena, or watch TV if you want, I hope my collection of movies is up to your standards." Quinn answered pointing to a large bookshelf.
She then left the room; Jet got up and went into Quinn's study.
Quinn went down to the pool area; she took out a long plank of wood and placed it over the pool width ways.
"Thought you said you was going to train?" Kai said coming out of the elevator.
"This is apart of my training" she replied pushing some buttons on a panel
Quinn then stood on the plank and walked to the middle of it, Kai leant against the wall watching her practise Tai chi, Tyson's grandpa then came down to join her.
He brought two thick kendo sticks with him.
Quinn took the other stick and stood on the plank patiently waiting in a stance.
"Quinn before we start you must call me-," Mr Granger began
"Master Takeo" she finished
"So that's your name" Kai grinned
Tyson's grandpa walked into the middle and stood in his stance, they both began fighting, Kai stood wide eyes watching the fight, Master Takeo swung the stick, Quinn somersaulted over him and tripped him up, he turned round and swung the stick again, Quinn back flipped kicking his stick out of his hand, she placed her stick on her master's shoulder, Tyson's grandpa grabbed her stick and flung her over his shoulder then tripped her up.
Quinn fell into the pool, Tyson's grandpa leant over to see if she would come up, Quinn came up for breath then grabbed Master Takeo's stick and pull him into the pool too.
"Should have seen that coming," he spluttered when he came up for breath.
"Did I hurt you sensei?" she asked helping him out
"That was a pointless exercise," Kai muttered
"It is way of commanding each other's respect Kai, we have established our roles of master and pupil" Mr Granger said pleased
"Though I wouldn't watching you and Quinn fight," he added
Kai smirked.
"I suppose I could," he said proudly
He picked up a stick and stood on the plank, unknown to both fighters Tyson's grandpa changed the temperature of the pool to freezing cold.
"Begin!" he said firmly
Kai could sense she was holding back.
"Why don't you give me your best shot?" he asked
"If you insist," she said darkly
Kai immediately wished he hadn't said that, Quinn jabbed at him breaking his stick in half, she then tripped him up and he fell into the pool of freezing water, he came up shivering his lips were turning purple, Quinn got him out and took him to the him to the hot tub.
He sat relaxing in the hot water watching her do laps up and down the pool.
"Guess I asked for that, but she was still holding back, that was amazing" Kai thought
"Can I join you?" she asked
Kai snapped out of his thoughts, he felt a little uncomfortable since he was in his boxer shorts; he saw her trembling slightly through her swimming costume.
"Your house, you can do what you like in it," he snapped
She slid into the tub closing her eyes as the hot water enveloped her skin; he saw faint scars on her arms and shoulders.
They both sat silently for a while.
"How's your arm?" Kai asked breaking the silence
"I had forgotten about that" she said almost surprised
"Can you feel that at all?" he asked
"Ninja's are trained to have a high pain threshold," she explained
"You must have had a hard childhood," he mumbled
"Not really I enjoy my martial arts, and my job, but I guess I can kiss that goodbye" Quinn sighed
"Why are you protecting me?" Kai asked
"Thought I answered that question," she said sternly
"No you didn't," he countered
"I don't mind killing people older than me, I can't kill anyone younger, I've always protected younger people it's in my nature," Quinn explained
"You don't seem so cold when you're blading" he said
"I'm like a robot, when I'm given a task I do that task and nothing stands in my way" she replied
"You're nothing but a puppet," Kai said angrily
"At least I protect the world unlike your grandfather," she barked
"No one's making you stay Kai, you can leave whenever you want, but I forgot you step out of my protection and you'll end up joining your grandfather" Quinn added gritting her teeth.
