Fire Thunder Lightening Chapter 7 Teaching
A Few days later
" Shippo watch close, I'm going to demostrate the technique and then you copy it."
" Hai Sensei."
Kazesune's body glowed and flickered briefly.
" Now throw a ball of fox fire at me." Shippo nodded, and did so. The ball went right through Kazesune's body. " If you know what your opponent's ki is like, you can use your fox magic to disguise your ki as theirs. Now you try." Shippo knew already what his teacher's ki was like so he focused on making his own ki appear to be Kazesune's.
" Ready?"
" Yes."
" Good." Kazesune threw a ball of foxfire as if he were a pitcher.
" oof!" Shippo grunted as the ball hit him and knocked him off his feet.
" We'll have to work on that."
Zati's Mannor
Souten was walking across the mannor grounds. Zati had allowed her to walk around freely in her new 'home', his advisors said it would make her feel more comfortable. But in truth it was because all the guards were too scared of her to stop her. Souten stopped pacing and closed her eyes.
" Why are you following me?" Yumi walked out of the shadows and up into Souten's face.
" What do you have that I don't?" She asked seriously.
" What?"
" What do YOU have that I don't?" Souten then realized what she meant.
" You like Zati don't you?" Yumi's serious expression was melted by the red blush covering her face. " If I knew why Zati liked me so much, I wouldn've changed it by now so he'd leave me alone."
" I might be able to help you lovely ladies out." Yumi turned and smiled.
" Sensei!"
" Yo."
" So what's the secret?" Souten asked.
" It's just a theory really, I'm not completly sure, but since he is my brother..."
" SPIT IT OUT ALREADY!" Yumi elbowed Souten in the stomach.
" Please continue Sensei."
" Zati most likely wasn't interested in Souten in the beginning. but after fighting your lover...
" NOT MY LOVER!"
" and not winning, he became obessed with beating him in everything, including love. Understand where I'm going with this?"
" I'M JUST A PRIZE TO HIM!" Souten shouted angerily then ran off to beat Zati to a plup, which was difficult considering she was still wearing a kimono. Zaton sighed.
" I wasn't finished, but oh well."
" Sensei, do you know how to get him to like me?"
" Well first Souten has to leave, as long as she's here he won;t be able to think of anyone else." Yumi's eyes gained a malicous gleam. " Don't even think about killing her, not only is it mean. but if Zati finds out and he will, he'll never forgive you." Yumi sagged her shoulders.
" So what do I do?"
" Wait for her non-lover to get here, then beat Zati in a fight. He'll be mad at you for a while, but since you've been his best friend forever, he'll forgive you for that. Then he won't be able to stop thinking about you and your pasts together. If you continue spending time with him durring this, he might eventually fall for you."
" Yay! Then we'll mate, and have childeren and..." Yumi listed happily.
Before she finished, thunder bolts racked the manor main building and all the servants and guards were seen running from it as fast as they could.
" That's only if Souten doesn't kill or castrate him first." Muttered Zaton.
Village of Kitsunes
" Ready?"
" Ready!" Kazesune threw another fox fire ball at Shippo. It went through him and he opened his eyes. " I did it!" Then he felt something burning. He looked behind him and saw his rear on fire, the fox fire only made it half way through. " AHHH!" Kazesune cringed.
" Oo, that's gotta sting."
Kaede's Village
Ever since the bully incident, Akemi was spending a lot more time with her little brother.
"Otouto-chan, why do you read that book so much? You must have read it a dozen times by now." Akemi asked.
" It's a fascinating book Onee-chan. Uncle Fluffy gave it to me, it's about Alchemy." Akira anwsered.
" Alchempee?"
" Alchemy! It's the science of taking things apart at the subatomic level and putting them back together as something different."
" Huh?"
" Like this." Akira drew a transmutation circle on the ground then pressed his hands against it, it glowed and a sculpture that looked like a dragon formed.
" Whoa. This is what you've been studying all this time?"
" Yep."
" Otouto-chan, that's awesome!"
" Really?"
" Of course. Don't you agree Katsuro-chan?" She turned to her friend to find him drawing in the dirt, then he pressed his hands against it.
" It didn't work." He turned to Akira. " How come?"
" Because you don't know what you're doing." Akira made another circle and it worked.
" Can you teach us how to do that?" asked Katsuro.
" Sure, but you probably wouldn't get it."
" We can handle it." Said Akemi.
A few hours later
" We don't get it." Said Akemi and Katuro. Then they fell backwards with swirly eyes.
Village of Kitsunes
" Ready?"
" Ready!"
Kazesune launched the uptenth ball of Foxfire. It sailed through Shippo and landed in a bush behind him.
" You can open your eyes now, you did it."
" So I can pass through Zati's barrier?"
" Yes, it should it work."
" Domo arigatou Sensei!"
" Before you poff away to save your beloved Souten, you should at least eat something." Shippo blushed but agreed.
