Saitou smacked his face with a gloved hand, "Why did you have to go and say that?"
Gina ignored the comment as she faced her class. "That is the first form of Gatostu. The technique is performed using mostly the muscles in the legs."
"So it's a killing move?" Asked a young boy.
Gina nodded, "Now... Gatostu does have a blind spot; it has the person focusing on one spot, leaving the rest of the field of vision blank... Can someone tell me how they would be able to stop the opponent from taking an advantage of the weak spot... at least in the beginning?"
"Split your eyes?" called out a boy from the top of the roof.
Gina requested politely, "Get down from there Akio." She tapped her foot in impatience when he refused to comply.
The boy snubbed the young teacher, sneering. "Come and get me." He challenged. When she refused to be provoked, he began to throw tiles of the roof off at the student, who shriek and dashed for cover.
Gina leapt onto the roof, advancing towards the seditious boy. Taunting her was one thing, attacking her students was another. He smirked as she neared him. In a flash, he drew out the sword from behind his back. Gina leapt back in surprise, teetering dangerously on the roof. A fall from the roof would break at least a couple bones if not careful. Her sword was on the grass where she had left it when she had bounded on the roof. She had not thought she would need it.
Saitou groaned, "Stupid girl. She's going to get herself killed."
Gina straightened herself, "Give me that." She demanded at Akio. He just tied his long black hair into a high ponytail, and then waved the scintillating sword around. Gina jerked her hand back as the tip of the blade drew some blood from her hand.
"No." He replied, "See... up here... without your sword...you're nothing. You're nothing but a defenseless weak young woman." His amber eyes laughed.
Her icy silver eyes narrowed slightly to match his burning eyes. "You think I'm nothing?"
"No. I know you're nothing." His blunt retort shocked everyone watching on the ground. Gina gripped her injured hand with fury emitting from her.
"He doesn't know what he's up against... that he does not." Kenshin said solemnly.
Tokio snorted, "She's weaponless. I suggest she hop off the roof and run." The last sentence was almost a yell to Gina.
Gina did not turn her head to look at Tokio, continuing to stare Akio, "I never run from a fight."
"She's like her father... I'll give you that." Muttered Tokio. No one but Ani heard who frowned faintly.
"Do you think she could win?" Kaoru asked, "She is weaponless and he has the upper hand. He's got a sword."
"Watch." Was the only reply Saitou gave her, never taking his eyes off of Gina.
Gina pulled out two fans that had been hooked behind on her belt. A thin trail of blood dripped from her wounded palm.
"Oh. I'm SO scared of two fans." Akio mocked Gina. Gina's face did not show any sign of emotion as she stepped with her right foot, releasing the fan in her left. Akio ducked as the fan whizzed passed him.
"Missed... and that'll cost you." Her flew at Gina, how blocked the sword attack with the fan. The sword collided the fan with a "ping" sound.
"It's..." Kaoru began.
"Made from the same material as the sword." Kenshin said, "I remember it well... she used the same technique on me... they are truly powerful fans... now if I remember correctly... this will be over in... 5... 4..."
Akio hopped back to recover from the block. He sneered, "Lucky."
Gina just tilted her head to the side and smiled., "Oh... how you wish...how you wish..."
He now accused, "You used a trick; fans can't do that."
"No trick, you just don't know your weapons."
"3... 2... 1..." Saitou finished, exhaling smoke.
The other fan came flying back, slamming into Akio's back. The boy fell forward. Gina grabbed the flying steel fan, grasping Aiko's hand, leapt off the roof, dragging the poor boy to the ground with her.
He landed on his face; she just landed neatly on her two feet.
Akio groaned sitting up. Gina regarded him coldly as Rika and Lil grasped his two arms and heaved him out. The heavy door slammed after they appeared again.
Gina smiled at her students, "That teaches you to always know your opponent... and their weapons for that matter. Overconfidence will be your downfall. Underestimation will be also. Now... back to the lesson... One could bamboozle your opponent by doing this."
She picked up her sword with her right arm; performing the Gatostu by shattering the board, with her right hand instead of the traditional left- handed trust. It was the mirror image of the true Gatostu.
"When did you learn that?" Saitou asked sharply.
"What? I can't teach myself?" She replied grinning from ear to ear. Saitou seethed, walking into the house and slammed the door.
"He's just envious that I can do it and he can't." Gina said with a shrug.
"I'M NOT JEALOUS!" came a loud yelling as Saitou's face appeared back in the doorway.
Gina ignored him, turning her attention to a glowering Tokio who seemed deep in thought, "Lady Tokio. I see you are befuddled about something..."
Tokio glared daggers at the young woman, who stepped back slightly, "Who is your mother?" She asked harshly, dark chocolate eyes blazing into cool silver ones.
"My mother?" The question stunned Gina. She raised an inquisitive eyebrow.
"Yes GIRL. If Saitou's your father... then who is your mother?" Tokio replied slowly and deliberately, as if she were lecturing a small child.
Gina frowned at the word girl and at Tokio's tone of voice, but chose to ignore it, "My mother is Katsu Saitou, elder sister of you husband. She and my 'real' father have been dead since I was five. I have no recollection of them. They were dead before the revolution. Your husband raised me."
"So you're not his daughter?"
"What do you mean by the word daughter? By blood I am his niece, by heart I am in EVERYWAY is daughter." She answered proudly.
"You smirk like him." Kaoru pointed out.
Gina scowled, "So I have been told."
Saitou jumped back out into the veranda as a tall young woman yelled at him about smoking in the house. Saitou looked sheepish. He plopped down on the steps, twirling a lit cigarette around.
Anzu had led the children away, presuming to the training yard, as Ani had instructed.
The air grew eerie, like something was about to happen. Gina shifted apprehensively. Saitou stomped on the cigarette, which had never touched his lips. He continued the squash the little paper, agitatedly. Ani had even lowered her sword from above Kaoru, and fretfully looked at the sky, as if she were waiting for something to fall from it and hit her in the head. Rika wore a deep frown, looking also towards the blue.
Hitomi was very quiet, playing with the small doll Lil handed her. Lil straightened herself, fretting over her shirt, uneasily twisting the edge of it. Tokio sat inaudibly, most likely processing all the events throughout the course of this one morning. Kaoru stared uncomprehendingly, occasionally making eyes contact with Kenshin, and tapping her slim fingers on the stone bench, which she was sitting on.
Hitomi sneezed softly, and the eccentricity was shattered.
"LADY GINA! LADY GINA!" There was a large hullabaloo at the front door. Gina and Rika shared a knowing look like that they had expected something. Gina picked Hitomi off the ground. Hitomi giggled softly. Rika stepped forward just as the group of children parted, to reveal Aoshi Shinomori involved in a staring contest with Anzu. He broke first, to lock eyes with Gina.
Gina leveled her gaze at him, flabbergasted, "Who are you? Why have you come?" Her calm voice quavered a bit. This was clearly not what she had been expecting. Rika glared at the tall man and Ani growled lowly. Ani started towards Aoshi, but Lil grabbed her arm, shaking the other woman, almost in a consoling way. Saitou stood behind Gina, almost in a defensive way to show Aoshi that he was backing up Gina. Hitomi giggled, playing with her impassive mother's smooth hair, seemingly unaware of the threats around her.
Aoshi never took his emerald eyes off Gina's bewildered silver ones, "Nice to see you too... koishii."
(Gina faints... j/k... I would put that if Gina wasn't the character she is... so Gina's doesn't faint...) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Koishii- dearest, dear, darling,
Ha ha... I won't put how he said it...I'll put that in the next chapter. This chapter itself took me a LONG time...
And I probably guess everyone is like: (O.O) well... just to let you know... I didn't plan that part out... I'm like (O.o) myself... but now I have a pretty good idea where this story will end... in a few chapters... I think most everything has been explained...although I don't have a conclusion thought up just yet... I never seem to... I always have something planned... and when I go to write it... it comes out differently.
I'll stop the ranting. Just wait and see... I might actually edit this chapter first... I'll see...
Don't count on an update this week or next... I have lots of tests... plus a friend's sweet 16. Sorry it's so short!
Thanks for taking the time to read. Please Review!
