Shadow light

Chapter eight of my fic already…wow :D I hope everyone liked it so far. Before I begin my new chapter I will look at the reviews.

Msn-CHAN: We all know that Shishio isn't a nice person. If Sora was dead then it was bad luck for Sora. If she was dead, she was weak, so it didn't matter if she died, if she was weak, she was useless. If she survived then Shishio got another good fighter. And of course she is okay. She is the main character of my story. Mostly main characters don't die

Deena Christian: Thank you very much

fan girl: I really hope that that was a good omg :D

And now…Here is chapter eight of Shadow light. Have fun!

Prev: Shishio attacked too. Before Sora could strike, she screamed in pain and fell on the ground again. She grabbed her legs in pain, blood was flowing out of her upper legs. Shishio had cut both of her upper legs and just looked at the girl that lay on the ground before him. Before Sora could do anything more, she fainted…

Sora slowly opened her eyes.

"Where am I?" she thought closing her eyes again.

Then she realized she lay in a bed. Sora tried to sit up, but she felt a sharp pain in her upper legs so she lay down again. She remembered what happened again and opened her eyes again. Her training with Shishio…he cut her in her upper legs…ya, that was what happened.

"Are you finally awake?" a voice suddenly asked.

It was Yumi who came in the room.

"H-hi Miss Yumi." Sora said silently.

Yumi took a seat next to the bed.

"You were asleep for a couple of days now."

"I was?"

"Yes, the doctor looked after your wounds on your arm and legs a few days ago after your training with Shishio-sama."

Sora tried to sit up again, but again she felt sharp pain in her legs. Yumi helped her up and Sora thanked her.

"Where is Shishio-sama now?" She asked looking at her legs.

"Uh…I don't really know. Probably talking with Houji about plans or something. Why? Do you wish to speak him?"

Sora nodded. Yumi called one of Shishio's workers and commanded to ask Shishio if he would come. After the worker of Shishio left Yumi turned to Sora again.

"Does it hurt very much?" Yumi said looking at Sora's legs.

"A little…It was way worse in the beginning." She looked around. "Where are my katana's?"

Yumi walked to a closet next to the bed and got two katana's out of it.

"Here they are."

"Could you give them to me please?"

Yumi walked to the bed again and gave Sora the katana's.

"Thanks, I just want them to be at my side all of the time…I feel safer then."

Yumi nodded. "I understand. Shishio-sama doesn't go anywhere without his sword either."

"I hope I'll be able to walk again when Sojiro and the other Juppongatana come back."

Yumi smiled. "I'm sure you will. You are a strong girl or else you wouldn't be alive anymore."

Sora was just about to answer when Shishio came in. Shishio looked at Yumi.

"Could you leave Yumi? I need to have a private talk with Miss Sora."

"Of course Shishio-sama." With a bow, Yumi left the room.

First Shishio and Sora looked at each other for a few second. Then Sora started to talk.

"Shishio-sama?"

"Mhm?"

"Why did you do this? Wound me like that I mean."

"I already thought you would ask that."

Sora didn't really know what to think of Shishio now. Respect, because he was so powerful? Thankful, because he gave her this palace to live in? Or hate, because he almost cut her legs of?

"It was like a sort test to look if you were worth to be in my Juppongatana. If you would die during the training, you would be weak. But you survived and that means you are strong."

"So it wouldn't matter to you if I was dead right now?"

"Yes, that's right. Weak people are of no use to me."

"You gave Sojiro a training like this as well then?"

Shishio nodded. "He was able to stand up to me a little longer then you were. Sojiro is the strongest of the Juppongatana you know."

Then it was silent again for a moment.

"If you have nothing more to ask, I'll leave." Shishio said walking at the door. He opened the door and looked at Sora over his shoulder. "I would try to walk if I was you, you are useless if you can't."

And so Shishio closed the door behind him, leaving Sora. Sora looked thinking at her hands. Then she started to talk to herself silently.

"I am not weak. I am strong. I will be useful to Shishio-sama."

She tried to get out of the bed. She bit her bottom lip when she felled the pain in her legs again. Sora ignored the pain and held the bed, shaking on her legs, when she tried to stand up. She tried to take a step but fell backwards on the bed again. She closed her eyes in pain and tried to sit up again.

"I-I have to walk a-again." She said to herself, again holding the bed.

Sora tried to take another step forward. The first one wasn't that bad, but the second time she fell on the ground. Her mouth went open to scream, but she refused to make a sound. She leaned against the wall, her eyes closed.

"God damn!" she said hitting the ground with her fist. She crawled to the bed and tried to stand up. And Sora kept trying. She didn't care how much it hurt, or how much she fell, she just wanted to walk again.

An hour later Sora got in the bed again. She was able to walk trough the room without holding anything, but very slowly. Now she was exhausted and wanted only one thing: sleep. She got under the covers and closed her eyes again.

A few hours later she woke up again. Again she tried to walk trough the room. It was very easy to walk, but running… She tried to walk faster. It worked a little and she smiled.

"Alright…I am almost able to run again…"

And again she walked faster, faster and faster. And before she knew it, she almost ran trough the room. She was about to pass the door, but suddenly it went open, causing Sora to walk against the door and falling on the ground.

"Aargh! What the hell?" she asked when she tried to stand up again. It was a doctor. He was really panicking.

"O my god! I-I'm so sorry! Please forgive me Miss Sora! Forgive me!"

Sora was walking to her bed.

"Uh…It's nothing really. But next time, just nock. Okay?"

"Of course Miss Sora. I'm sorry."

"Now, what are you here for?"

"It's time to refresh your bandages Miss Sora."

"Ow I see. Okay no problem."

While the doctor was doing his job, Sora looked at her arm.

"That's going to be a big scar. I'm certain of that."

Then she looked at her legs. The scars were big, very big. Good thing she was asleep for a couple of days. In that time, her wounds had a chance to cover. A few minutes later, the doctor left again. She sat up and exchanged her pajamas with her clothes. Then she got her katana's and left the room.

A few days later, Sora was able to run at her top speed again. She always practiced in her room on walking and practiced with her katana's too. When she felt that all her power was back, she walked to Houji and asked if she could train again. He nodded and got some people that wanted to fight her. Sora beat them all, without very much trouble.

Days went on, Sora kept training and then suddenly Sojiro was back with the Juppongatana from east-Japan...

I know, it is a short chapter. I'm sorry :D I won't do it again, I promise.
Well I hope you liked it, review ( no flames ) and till the next chapter!
