Chapter 5: Ryo
Kurama lied on his bed, weeping into a pillow. He couldn't believe he said all that to his mother. He wanted to take it back, but deep down he knew it was true. He did hate his mother. Kurama's door flew open, and the same man who was at the front door, walked in. "Kurama," the man spoke. "I can't believe how much you look like your mother." Kurama stared at the man. He had no clue who the man was. "Of course, you probably don't recognize me. I am your father, Ryo." Kurama was in shock. This is my father! Wait! He was the man Kurama saw floating above the tornado in The Fields! "Did you like my show in that Field place? I wanted to show you the power you will have when you mature. That is why I have come. To teach you how to fight." Kiera ran into the room, tears streaked her face. "No! I will not have you make my son a thief like you!" "Well, Kiera he is my soon too. Remember? You couldn't resist my charms, and got yourself knocked up!" Kiera went to slap Ryo, but he caught her hand, and twisted her wrist. He watched a hand out to Kurama. "C'mon Kurama." Kurama stared at Ryo, and then at Kiera, who lied on the floor, crying. Kurama got up from his bed, and walked past his mother, and stood next to Ryo. "Sorry mother." Kurama and Ryo walked out of the house. "KURAMA!" Kiera screamed. She felt a deep pain in her heart.
Ryo and Kurama walked into The Fields. "Now, Kurama stand over there." Ryo pointed to the opposite side of the Fields. "Now, I'm gonna come at you with a punch, and you have to block. So 3, 2, -." Ryo disappeared and Kurama braced himself. Ryo impaled Kurama and sent him flying into a tree. Kurama felt a strong pain fly through his spine. "That's okay, Kurama. Try again." Kurama felt better, being reassured for the first time in his life. His father was actually a good person. Except for the impaling!
Ryo kept hitting Kurama until finally, around midnight, Kurama blocked his punch. "Great job, Kurama!" Ryo exclaimed. "Now we eat!" Ryo set up a fire, and Kurama gathered fire wood. They sat around the camp fire, and talked. "So, how's your ma doing?" "Well, she is as bitchy as ever." Ryo laughed. Kurama joined in. They laughed and talked for a good part of the night. Finally, as they were falling asleep, a loud rumbling shook the Fields. "What was that?" Kurama exclaimed. He saw a huge shadow cast over the Fields.
