A Kitsune's Dream part: 4
Chapter: 4- Training with Kurama.
Hello everyone, I'm finally back with another update! My apologies for taking so long to update, my computer got struck by lightning and it got fried. But luckily, my dad got a new lap top, unluckily it doesn't have spell check yet so excuse any grammar or spelling errors I have, thanks. Anyway I do not own Yu-Yu-Hakusho or any other characters. Without further ado...the update-
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Shinta's P.O.V.
"Shinta, Shinta, WAKE UP!" Yusuke's voice pierced through my dreams. "5 more minutes please," I said, turning over and putting my pillow over my head. "C'mon Shinta, get up! It's time to train!" he yelled yet again, trying to get me up. "Go away!" I yelled back. I'm not much of a morning person, as you could tell. The pounding on the door ceased for about 5 minutes, then Hiei's threatening voice came. "Get up or I drag you out!" he said, his voice very irritated. "FINE!" I yelled back, getting up. "Man, her temper's almost as bad as yours," said Yusuke, smirking. Hiei just hn'ed and walked off, followed by Yusuke.
I walked over to the bath room and turned on some cold water in the sink and cupped my hands under it for a moment. I then proceeded to splash the hand full of cold water in my face. I breathed a sigh of relief, I always felt much better when I was around water or if I came in contact with it. I smiled and looked up at my reflection. My ocean blue eyes sparkled as droplets of remaining water ran slowly down my face. I then frowned. There had been a morning just like this, and it wasn't a pleasant memory.
FLASHBACK ....
I was about 10 years old. I had woken up to my dad's drunken snoring. I had walked into my bathroom and done the same thing as I did every morning. While the water was running, I hadn't heard my dad wake from his sleep....
END OF FLASHBACK....
I shook my head and dismissed the thoughts. I quickly went and did my annual morning activities, brushed my teeth, ect. I walked over to my closet, which had all my clothes neatly hung up and my shoes in a row on the bottom. I took out a pair of my training shoes and a blue tank top with Angel written in white, sparkling letters. I also took out a pair of blue jeans that had roses embroidered, going from the bottom of my pants all the way to just past my knees. I changed into the clothing along with my shoes and a pair of regular white socks.
I opened the door and walked down the hall and suddenly realized I had absolutely no idea where I was going. "Are you lost?" said a soft voice from behind me. I turned to see Kurama standing behind me. I shook my head, blushing slightly in embarrassment. He smiled a smile that could make you melt, it was warm and kind and it made me feel as if this was my home, or at least a home I wasn't afraid to go home to. "Follow me and we can go and get something to eat and then get to your training." he said, his smile turning more mysterious now.
I nodded and he took my hand and led me down to the kitchen. I blushed a bit, but shook it off before he or anyone could see. We both sat down at the kitchen table. A girl came out of the kitchen with two trays. She had an ice blue kimono on with matching ice blue shoes (They look like slippers to me, no offense), and her eyes where blood red. She put one of the trays in front of me and one in font of Kurama. She had made Omelets! I looked up at her and said "Thank you." "You're welcome. My name is Yukina by the way. Your name is Shinta, right?" "Yes," I replied smiling. I now looked at her more carefully. I had seen those eyes somewhere before. I made a mental note to ask Kurama about it later.
When I finished eating, Kurama and I walked out into the open field. Hiei sat on a branch nearby. "OK, first, imagine a weapon in your head," instructed Kurama. "OK," I agreed. I closed my eyes and thought of the first weapon that came to mind. I imagined a sword that looked like an old Japanese sword you would see on those old history Japanese movies, but I imagined it so that the blade was on the wrong side so that I wouldn't hurt or even, heaven forbid, kill anyone accidentally. I also thought of it so that the blades could switch if I wanted it to.
"OK," I said, opening my eyes. "Good, now try to form it with the energy you used last night," he instructed further. I nodded and once again closed my eyes and concentrated. I could feel the same sensation from the other day of my hands growing warm. Energy cracked to life in my hands. I slowly opened my eyes. There in my hands was the very sword I had imagined! Its sharper side glowed a slight bit brighter than the other side. And just like I had imagined, it was on the opposite side that it should be, so it wouldn't kill or hurt anyone. It looked so real, like a real sword with a blue glow to it. I looked at my side where a sheathe hung that, like the sword, was made of blue energy. "What are you going to call it?" asked Kurama. I thought about it for a moment, then answered, "The Spirit Blade." I smiled and I took a few practice swings to get used to the strain of the weapon.
Kurama said, "Good, now that you are somewhat used to your Spirit Blade, try and hit me." "What! I could hurt you!" I exclaimed. Kurama just smiled. "Attack him, I doubt you'll even get close to hitting him, let alone injure him," Hiei said, looking at me teasingly with a small, cocky smirk on his face. My hesitation was immediately gone. 'Grr! He's like an annoying little brother,' I thought to myself. Kurama saw that the hesitation was now gone and reached up into his long, red hair and pulled out a single red rose. "Rose Whip!" He yelled and whipped the rose. I looked on in astonishment as the rose transformed into a long, green wipe with rose-like thorns on it up until the part where Kurama was holding it.
It looked as if it where at least 10 ft. long! I took an involuntary step backward. Then I thought of what Hiei had said and took off toward Kurama as fast as I could. 'She's fast!' thought Kurama, but he kept a cool head. I jumped up in the air to make my attack. Kurama took his whip and with a flick of his wrist the whip whirled upward and wrapped around my spirit blade. He then pulled it from my hands with his whip, it landed on the ground a few feet away. It disappeared along with the sheathe, which had been at my side.
I quickly turned my attack to a punch. Kurama gracefully dodged my attack then started one of his own. The battle raged on for quite a while with me not landing anything except maybe a few side swipes that brushed against him. Kurama could have struck me at least 5 times with his whip, but he always pulled it back before it made contact. I was getting frustrated, but I was doing better than I had been when I started. I was just starting to get the hang of it when Kurama said "That's enough for today." "Awww, but I was just starting to get the hang of it," I wined, wanting to continue. "Don't worry, you've improved a lot today, but I'm afraid it's time to go inside," Kurama said, smiling. "OK, but we will continue tomorrow, right?" I asked. "Of course," He said, smiling again as we began to walk back to the temple. "Tomorrow you'd better watch out, I'm going to get you," I commented with a smile filled with confidence. He smiled and then said, "I doubt it." "Grr! why you!" I said, trying to get to him but he was way ahead of me, literally. "Hey, get back here! Your going to get it when I catch you!" I said, running after him laughing. We raced all the way back to the temple.
"Time for dinner," said Yukina. "Cool," I said, smiling and followed her as I was followed by Kurama. Everyone was in the kitchen and waiting for, what I would have guessed, was us. "Sorry to keep you all waiting," I apologized. "Yes. I also am sorry," agreed Kurama. "Well, what are you waiting for?" asked Yusuke impatiently. "Quit being rude, Yusuke," scolded a short-haired, brown-headed girl. She had soft, brown eyes and was wearing a pink spaghetti-strapped dress with a puffy, long-sleeved shirt underneath it. She also had a pink head band on her hair to match the rest of her outfit. She held a blue creature with a yellow beak and black hair on top of it's head.
"By the way, I'm Keiko," said the girl, smiling. "You must be Shinta, I've heard so much about you from Yusuke and everyone here," she said, referring to everyone already at the table. (Duh!) "Hello Keiko, I'm pleased to meet you," I said, taking a seat next to Genkai. Kurama sat in the only open seat, which was next to me. We ate dinner talking about what they had done over their years together. Some stories included how Yusuke had gotten Puu or how Yusuke had been brought back to life. How the dark tournament came about, or how they had won it, ect.
When everyone was done and full, we all headed up to our rooms. Keiko, Yusuke, and Kuwabara (I got introduced to him at dinner.) all decided to spend the night. We said our good-nights and went our separate ways. Kurama waked me to my room like a gentlemen. (Fantom Kitsune: AAAWWWWWW! so cute.) "Hey Kurama, can I ask you about something?" I asked, looking at him. "Sure, anything," he replied. "Well, I've noticed something. Hiei and Yukina have the same eyes, I mean the exact same eyes," I said. Kurama looked a bit nervous. "Are they brother and sister or something?" I continued. Kurama hesitated for a moment, I continued, "Plus, I also saw the look Hiei kept giving Kuwabara every time he started talking about the power of love and all that stuff. The kind big brothers give when someone hits on their sister," (In this case stuff equals crap but she didn't want to sound harsh.) I said, giving out my last clue.
Kurama remained silent for a moment and then answered, "Yes. They are brother and sister, but Yukina doesn't know anything about it, neither does Kuwabara or Keiko, so you mustn't talk about it. Hiei doesn't want her to know, OK?" he explained. "OK, but why doesn't he want her to know about it?" I said, not knowing why--him being a good guy and all now, and having, in a way, atoning for his past sins--he wouldn't want Yukina to know about it. "He has his reasons," Kurama replied. "Well, OK. I promise to keep it a secret," I promised. "Good," Kurama said. "Well, Good-night Shinta," said Kurama turning to walk away to his room. "Night," I said. I ran up to him and lightly punched him in the shoulder and retreated back to my room and playfully, yet quietly, shouted, "That was for earlier," over my shoulder before closing my door. Kurama smiled and then started to retreat to his own room.
Normal P.O.V.
Yusuke stuck his head out of his own room, which was on door down from my room on the opposite side of the hall. "Soooo, Kurama, was there tongue?" He said slyly. "What in the world is going through your mind?" "You know what I mean," he said in another sly tone. "You sick monkey!" Shinta yelled and punched him in the back of the head. Apparently she had over heard all of it in her room and wasn't to happy about it. Almost everyone was now looking out of their rooms to see what was happening. Kurama sweat dropped as well at Keiko, who was one of the spectators. "Oh Yusuke, when will you ever learn?" Keiko said, sighing. Kuwabara was chuckling at Yusuke who had gotten knocked down by a girl, and planned to use it against him later. Hiei smirked at the detective as he watched through a window from outside on a tree branch.
Shinta stormed over to her room and slammed the door. "Oh dear," whispered Boton. "Alright everyone back to bed, the scene's over," Genkai said, walking back to her own room. 'Grr! That was embarrassing, getting knocked down by a girl. Well, it's not like Keiko hasn't done it more then a of couple times,' thought Yusuke and he retreated back to his room. Kurama finally got to his room, which was a few doors down from Yusuke's. Genkai closed her door, her room next to Yukina's, whom was next to Yusuke's meaning Genkai's was next to Kurama's. Boton and Keiko were in their rooms, that were right across from each other, Keiko's next to Yusuke's and Boton's next to Shinta's. (Confusing for those who don't pay attention. ) And with that, everyone fell asleep silently.
