Chapter 3: Hot Spring Trouble

"Bolder Cutting Blade!" Motoko shouted as she swung her sword. Yumi put up his arm and closed his eyes, waiting for the blow to come. But it never did. Instead, he heard the sound of metal striking metal. When he looked up, he saw me blocking her strike.

"You haven't been practicing?" I said to her, parrying her sword and sending her stumbling backwards. "For shame"

Motoko growled at me. "You leave without telling anybody" she fumed "Only to come back and criticize me? You will not be forgiven!" She raised her blade and wind started to swirl around it. "Sacred Technique: Scar of the Wind!" she shouted as she brought the sword to the ground, sending a power surge rushing toward me & Yumi.

"The Wind Scar?" Yumi yelled over the noise "but that's from InuYasha. How does she know it?"

"I taught it to her!" I called back "Now be quiet, this takes immense focus" I studied the patterns of the onrush of pure energy, and saw where I had to hit. "Sacred Technique" I shouted "Backlash Wave!" I sent a Wind Scar right at the center of the energy wave, sending it right back at her.

She was blasted back into a wall, her towel shredded. I quickly went to her and knelt by her side. "I'm sorry Motoko" I said, wrapping another towel around her "But you didn't leave me much choice"

"Humph" she griped, pushing me away and stumbling out of the baths. "I'll beat you next time"

I chuckled "You'd better practice up then, but do you know where Su is?"

She glared back at me. "She's in her room" she huffed and walked away.

"Come on Yumi" I said pulling him out of the baths before Naru chucked something at us.
