Chapter Two: Learning and Training
(*Kata's POV*)
~Things are changing. It's all changing. I mean, there are so many knew things, and I've meet so many new people, and now I'm going back to America (hehehe. ^_^ ). Thing are just happening so fast. I feel different. More powerful. But it's not my miko powers. It's something else all together, my demon powers. It's almost like I don't even have any of my miko powers anymore. And I have to buy all new clothes since I got so short. But I like my hair. The color is cool and it's a lot longer. And my eyes are cool. My favorite color has always been green. But I've bit my lip so many times that I'm shocked that I still have one. My fangs are so sharp. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to get used to it.~
The phone rang, so I ran to answer it. "Hello?"
"Hi, Kata" The voice sounds really familiar. But who..is...it.
"Yusuke!?!" I yelled in total shock.
"You shocked I'm callin'. Well, you should be 'cause I would never call you on my own free will. Keiko's making me call you. She wants to know if you need to go shopping for clothes or something."
"Then why didn't she just call me and ask?" Man, he can be a real jerk.
"I don't know. Well do you or do you not have to go shopping."
"Well, I do. Who's coming?" There's no way I'm going somewhere alone with him. That, will be the last day of my life.
"Me, Keiko, that Kagome girl, Kuwabara, Yukina, and Kurama."
"We'll have to take Hiei."
"Why?"
"We need to get him something that a human would wear. Don't forget, we're going to America. I know how it works there, and buying him normal clothes would save a lot of trouble."
"Oh fine. But you'll have a hell of a time finding him."
"What do you mean I'll have a hard time? You're coming to. Now get everyone together, bring them here, and we'll start searching for him." I hung up the phone and started looking for the smallest pair of pants I could find. I found some that were okay, but if I were to wear them for around a week, the bottom of the pants would only be strings. Then, I put on my favorite tank top, dark green with a blue and black traditional Japanese dragon that went all the way around my waist. I'm not sure how I got this shirt. I guess I've always had it.
When I was passing my mirror, I noticed something on my arm. I walked to the mirror to get a closer look at it. What I saw almost made my head do a 180 spin. The same dragon that was on my shirt was on my arm. It was alittle different though, the dragon was the same but it was surrunded by a cool shape that was colored in dark green. I ran to the bathroom and tried to rub it off. But it didn't work. The thing was tattooed on. Since when did this appear. Oh well, it looks cool anyway. What am I talking about? I think everything is cool. Oh well.
I heard the doorbell rang, so I dashed to the door. "Hey."
"Are you ready to go?" Yusuke asked in an exasperated voice.
"Were is everybody?" I asked, looking behind him and seeing nobody.
"I don't know were whats-her-face lives, and your house is closer than Keiko's."
"All right. And her name is Kagome. We need to pick-up Kurama-san first, he's closer."
I walked passed Yusuke and started walking toward Kurama's house. Once we were there I knocked on the door.
"Hi, Kata-san." Kurama said, answering the door. "So we're going shopping?"
"Yeah. I need to buy all new clothes and there's some other stuff that we all need to do." I turned around and me and Kurama started walking toward the mall. I stopped when I noticed that Yusuke wasn't behind us.
"Where is that baka?" I started walking in the general direction that I thought he was and saw him just standing there, staring at a wall.
"Lets go, dumb ass." Yusuke looked up at me and started walking toward the mall.
"Don't we have to pick up whats-her-face?"
"Her name is Kagome, and yes, her house is on the way."
*** ** *** ** 10 minutes later *** ** *** **
Knock-Knock
"Hi, Kata. Let's go shopping!!! This is going to be so much fun!!!" Kagome said, walking outside of her house.
When I started to follow her toward Keiko's house, I felt something. I'm not sure what it is, but I felt it coming from that strange well house. I stopped walking and turned toward it.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" I screamed when Hiei landed next to me, coming from out of no-where. "Well, that was the easiest search I've ever done."
Hiei gave me a weird look and then turned to the others. "I'm taking Kata to the Makai." He said as he grabbed my wrist and started dragging me away from the others.
Yusuke jumped in front of us and yelled, "Why. We're leaving for America in a few days."
Hiei stared at Yusuke as if he was looking into his soul. After a minute of intense staring and fidgeting, Hiei smirked and starting walking away, but not before he said, "We'll be back before then."
"Um, Hiei. Why are we going to the Makai?" I asked. Hell, if I'm being dragged there I want to know why.
"Training." Oh, well isn't he one for details.
We soon arrived at an old building, which looked worse on the inside then it did on the out-side, which was pretty bad. Hiei picked up a floor-tile and said, "Jump down."
"Are you insane. I'm not jumping into thaAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" I screamed when Hiei gave me a light push into the whole in the floor.
*** ** *** ** *** ** ***
I landed okay. I didn't hit the ground hard or anything. But of course, Hiei landed with incredible grace. That stubborn baka walked right by me, not helping me up or anything.
"So. Where are we going?" I asked once I caught up to him.
"Somewhere." Yep. Once again with the extreme details.
"Okay. So what are we going to do when we get to Somewhere?"
"Train. And were going to go see someone who knows a lot about Tri-Fires." He said in an extremely board voice. This is going to be along a couple of days. Someone, pray for me. Please. T_T
*** ** *** ** *** ** ***
After a hour of walking, we arrived at a cave.
"Are we at Somewhere, yet?" I whined
"Yeah." I perked up a lot.
Hiei stopped walking, I bumped into his back and flew backward. I closed my eyes and waited for the collision with between my back and the hard ground. But it never came. Instead, I felt strong arms wrap around me. I opened my eyes, and saw that Hiei had caught me. Once I regained my balance, he let me go.
"I'll make a deal with you." Hiei said, turning away from me.
"And what's that?" I asked, trying my hardest not to blush.
"I'll teach you how to speak Tri-Fire, if you teach me English." He doesn't know English? HE KNOWS THE LANGUAGE OF MY PEOPLE!!!?!!! "All right. You teach me Tri-Fire and in return, I'll teach you English. Deal?" I stuck out my hand for him to shake.
"Deal." He said, shaking my hand. Well that put me into shock. He actually had contact with a human. hell, any living thing on his own will..not including killing things.
While I was thinking about all of this, Hiei started walking toward the cave. I caught up to him at the entrance. I saw a Blue Flame Fire demon that was talking to Hiei. Listening in on their conversation I heard, "Hiei, I haven't seen you in a long time. So what can I do for you?"
"I need you to teach her," Hiei began, pointing at me, "about the history, powers, language and all that kind of stuff, of the Tri-Fires." The demon seemed to be in shock, but quickly recovered.
"Why would she need to learn any of that?"
"Because she is a Tri-Fire." Now it looked like the poor demon was going to permanently be in shock.
*** ** *** ** *** ** ***
"All right. Now, I know that you two don't have that much time here, so I want to start teaching you the language first. Well, the Tri-Fire language was obviously created by the Tri-Fire. They created it because all of the Flame Fire demon had their own language, so the Flame Fire demons couldn't communicate with each other. So the language of Tri-Fire was created so that all of us could communicate." I now know that the Blue Flame Fire demon, the one that used to be in shock, his name is Takou. He looks around Kagome's age, but I know that he must be older than that.
"All right. So you know how to speak English, right?" Takou-sama asked me.
"Actually, I was born there." I told him in English.
"Great. Well, Tri-Fire is just like English, but the consonants switched around, and so are the vowels."
"Hey, Hiei!!! You can speak Tri-Fire, right?" I yelled over to him.
"Yeah."
"Once I learn Tri-Fire, teaching you English will be a synch."
"All right. I'll start teaching you tomorrow. You'd better get some rest 'cause Hiei is gonna train you first thing in the morning." Takou-sama said.
"All right. Good night, Takou-sama."
"Good night, Kata-san."
"Good night, Hiei." Me and Takou-sama said at the same time.
"Hn." Was his reply...of course.
"Well, at least we got some kind of a response." I said, just before drifting off to sleep.
