Otaku Pitcher, ok, Toroki stayed close with Tokaki and Subaru so yeah, I guess that would make sense. And I don't use microsoft word because.....You know, I don't know, I correct every error I can on my own, I usually correct all of them, after about reading through it the 5th time, every time I find at least one or two errors ^^;; and Houjun.....I think I'll just wait till maybe chapter 5, because the next chapter.....um yeah....
And a note to my friends......You probably reconized the first chapter..so yeah, I hope your actually reading this. I didn't feel like writing the self inserted stories with us in it, I got sick of them. Just felt like writing something a bit different. I have written normal somewhat like fanfiction in a long time. Of course most of them are SailorMoon/Dragon Ball Z but hey, it doesn't matter....just some of them suck really badly.

Chapter 3: Toroki's Training
~*~*~*~*~
I woke up the next day pretty early. I don't think Toroki was awake yet, once I went outside the room, again, the house was filled with an aroma of food. I went to the kitchen area and Toroki was setting the table. "Thought you'd be awake around this time."
I sat down in the spot that I sat at yesterday. She set down some silverware and then sat down herself to eat herself. "I invited some people over to help you train as well."
"Who's that?"
"Tokaki and Subaru, other Byakko seishi, they're bringing along an aprentice of their own, a Suzaku seishi like yourself, his name is Tamahome. He's about 12 years old, but he's still a good fighter, you could probably train with him."
There was a knock at the door and Toroki went to open it. There stood an old man, woman, and little boy, the little boy definatly didn't look like their son, he had dark aqua hair that was put back in a low ponytail, blue eyes, and wore a dark GI. They came in and were introduced to me. "Hi, I'm Kibou." I said bowinng a bit, as if it had been a habbit somehow.
"Kibou dear, this is Subaru, and Tokaki...And of course their apprentice Tamahome."
The little boy bowed slightly. Toroki asked to to clear the table so I did and Tamahome helped me and helped me wash the dishes. "So where do you live?" I asked scrubbing the plate.
"Just outside the capital of Konan."
"What are you doing way out here in Sairou?" I asked handing him the plate.
"My father wanted me to do this, but I'm going back in a month or two though, my mother is going to have another baby soon."
"How many siblings do you have?"
"Three right now, I'm the oldest of all of them."
I nodded. "Is Tamahome your real name? Isn't that of the constellation?"
"Yeah, I'm called Tamahome, but my real name is Sou Kishukun. Subaru said that the Preistess of Suzaku will find the suzaku seishi by their Seishi name, so they call me Tamahome so I'll get use to it."
"Oh, then let me reintroduce myself. I'm Chiriko."
I put the last dish away and went back out to the dining room. Toroki came to me. "Your going to start your training today. And because of your arm, you'll need a handicap, and Tamahome, he was a born fighter, but he'll be a good sparring partner."
We went down to the room that I had entered through yesterday, it was empty now. Toroki went over to a closet and brought out staffs amd threw one to Tamahome and me. Tokaki and Sabaru soon came down and said that they will leave Tamahome here for now and return later for him.
The training was simple and Tamahome looked bored. It wasn't too hard to learn...It seemed I learned it from somewhere else, but the whole day, Toroki taught me how to use a sword skillfully with just one hand and it progressed really far, something that would take months to get perfect. I didn't get why I was learning so fast. Tamahome wasn't as bored because he seemed to be intrested in what I was doing because I was learning so quickly. When Toroki said that we should rest, I was sweating and my head hurt, Toroki went upstairs to get me some water. Tamahome came up to me. "That's amazing, your learning everything so quickly, are you sure you never learned this."
I shrugged. "I wouldn't know, I lost my memory. And what I do remember, makes no sense."
"Oh...Well that explains why your doing so well... You probably learned all this before you lost your memory and your minds probably just being refreshed."
"Probably, that's what it feels like."
Toroki came back down with a pitcher of water and I probably drank half the thing and I got a brain freeze. I wobbled around dizzily for a second, another vision was suddenly in my mind. The girl..me, she was talking to a girl with brown hair and tan skin, she didn't look asian though....american...was that what she was? What was that anyway? and me, I was crying....why was I crying? Was is it because of that one man that hit her? "...riko...Chiriko!"
I blinked and saw Tamahome shaking me. "Are you ok?"
I held my head a bit dizzy, Toroki looked at me worridly. "You shouldn't drink cold things too fast dear,"
"What? Oh....I'm ok."
"What happened anyway, you just suddenly dazed out," said Tamahome.
"I had another vision of my past,"
"I think that's enough for one day, dear. I'll fix up dinner."
I nodded and followed her up and Tamahome came with us.
~*3 years later*~
Tamahome left a couple months after he met me, and never did come back, I heard that his mother died from giving birth to the baby. That must've been hard on Tamahome, but it must've been hard on everyone in his family as well. My memory was still a blur and I couldn't puzzle everything together. Toroki was getting more aged looking, Subaru and Tokaki hadn't been coming around for a while, and she was starting to get sick. She had to be bedridden and couldn't do anything. I could tell that she was willing to die at any time now. I stayed at her side and did whatever I needed to to help her. I held her hand by her bed and sat on the ground. She was weak, very weak. She felt fragile, like the slightest mistake or hard movement will snap her in half. She was 108 now, so I could see why she was so weak. Her breathing was getting softer and softer day by day.
I felt helpless as she kept dying more and more. I could see the bone in her skin, it no longer looked like Toroki. The person who lied in the bed was a living skeleton. That was all that lied there, a skeleton.
"Kibou dear..." she whispered softly.
My head poped up and I looked at her. "Kibou, you were the daughter that I never had...."
Tears bleared my eyes. "Toroki, save your strength, please."
"I'm going to die anyway, I'll say this while I'm still alive. I don't know when you may find yourself, but what goes on now is what's important, go to Taikyoku, Taiitskun is waiting for you."
I slightly tightened my grip on her hand. "Toroki..."
"Your future lies there. Leave me in this bed to die, you should leave to Taikyoku. Your wasting your time."
My fingers clenched the blanket. "Don't say that, if I left, I would feel guilty forever."
"You were the perfect apprentice, you've learned everything I knew and even more. Thank you."
Her hand fell dropped to her side and the feel of life from her presence suddenly drained and a horrible chill went throughout my body. I buried my head in her blanket, her body already felt so cold. I started to make a whole in her house's backyard for Toroki. It felt like she was still there, she still looked the same and everything...I wiped away the tears after I buried her and packed what I needed. I then came back to her graveyard with a small boucae of flowers and set it down by her grave.
"Thank you Toroki....You taught me so much and you didn't even have to, may your soul rest in peace."
I bowed down and then got up, I stared at the grave for a bit and then headed east towards where Taikyoku would be. It didn't seem to take too long before I got there though, actually, it seemed to just appear out of really no where. And a person who I belive was Taiisukun was there to meet me.
"I've been excepting you." she said approaching me.
"Are you Taiitsukun?"
She nodded. "For the next three years you will be training under me."
The floor under me suddenly rose and I lifted off the ground. "Holy shit, what the hell?!
We landed in a palace high in the mountain. "You will also have another person to train with." Taiitsukun said as she led me inside. Once we were inside, she introduced me to the person who I haven't seen yet.
"His name is Chichiri."
I don't know where exactly it was, it was some sort of throne room place that the person was, and the person's back was turned. He wore a kasa and had a familiar shade of blue hair. For a moment I thought it was Houjun but when he turned around, it wasn't his face. I got closer up to him to introduce myself, I relized that his face was a mask, but I didn't say anything about it. "Hi, I'm Chiriko."
I looked down to his hand and saw a small ring on it, I lifted the hand up and I instantly reconized the design. "Houjun?"
I got out my ring that I wore as a necklace since I was afraid to lose it. "I found you again, it's me Kibou!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yet another short chapter...................................................I might write a longer one the next chapter. And it was kinda quick, like Kibou meeting Toroki...then Toroki dying, but oh well..........I just wanted the story to move along, please reveiw.
