PR II: Chapter One
Jean opened her eyes slowly, the warmth of the summer Sun rays laying on her face, blinding her just a bit. She waved her hand as the curtains were pulled shut. She pushed herself up with a smile on her face, looking over to see Scott on the other side of the bed, sleeping soundly. She had been sleeping so much better since what had happened last year; life was getting back to normal. Well, kind of.
She pushed herself up and stretched, pulling her crimson hair up into a pony tail and getting dressed quickly. She kissed Scott on his cheek and left him a little note before she left the room. She closed the door quietly and looked down the hallways. No one was up yet, and that was a good thing. She crept around the school, heading to the kitchen.
As soon as she got there, she made herself some coffee and sat down at one of the stools. A huge smile was on her face as she thought about what would happen today..
Just another day of training, another day of surprises and interesting new situations. She looked to her watch and started cooking for the students.. She had actually gotten better, or at least that's what she thought. After about a half an hour, the sun was lighting up the whole school, students were waking up.. and breakfast was done.
Oni awoke finally getting used to the morning habits. Although he was more of a night person, the professor had set a strict time that he had to be in his room by. He was starting to truly love this place and its people and the events of last year slowly starting to fade out of his mind and for that he was thankful. The Professor had helped him with what had happened in his childhood but there were still some trouble spots but nothing he couldn't handle.
He stood and got on his usual clothes and headed down knowing Jean would be making breakfast. When he had gotten close to the kitchen, he leapt up clinging to the ceiling. He crept into the kitchen and when he was about an inch from Jean, he stood straight from the ceiling and said. "Ohayo gozaimasu!" Smiling from ear to ear, he was truly happy here and he did his best to live every day to its fullest; tackling the training with renewed confidence and determination. Each day there had been some close calls when he had lost control of his telekinetics, but he was doing better. He only crashed the simulator a few times but that was moths ago. He was due for his check-ride before too long, and speaking of tests, his exam for entrance into the X-men fully would be coming up soon. After that, he would help others with combat training and even get to teach the way of the ninja to those interested. He wondered what would happen today.
Jean smiled to him. "Good Morning!" She was used to the Japanese by now.. And she was actually learning it. "Your breakfast is already done." She smirked, and pointed towards two plates of hot food, with a glass of milk beside it. Pancakes, bacon, sausage, two eggs, and scrapple. "I hope you like it." She smiled and sat down across from him, sipping at her coffee. "Another day of training, Oni." She smiled. "..You're getting a lot better. You're exams are coming up soon, tell me if you need any help with them." She smiled, and pulled her hair up a little tighter. "Did you sleep well?" She asked.
Oni began to swiftly shove plates of food into his mouth and nodded. "Actually there was one thing, combat tactics telekinetics. Those I have a hand on; what I really need help with is... Diplomacy." The last word was said as if it were a curse word. "I try and I try to reason with the people in the simulator but the more calm I get the more they yell so I try yelling at them and they end up punching each other. I also want to run the Sentinal program today. I think I can beat it now. I have some special gear!" He laughed mischieviously as he held up a long needle with a string at the end and on the bottom of the string a small ball hung. "This is a standard flash bomb but I rigged it so that when it goes off it emits an miniature EMP but other than that lets keep going with the normal training. I think, if that's ok with you." He finished the plates as he always did. "Thanks for the food." He looked around and said. "I can feel it in the ground 30 or so kids are heading this way, its time to go." This was the standard; Jean would get up early then Oni would come in they would both evacuate before a mass of kids came down and stampeded them.
Jean smiled and nodded. "Sure.. Just be careful, alright? Don't want you hurting yourself, again." She laughed and placed the dishes in the sink. "Well, their food is ready.. So, lets get out of here!" She smiled and walked out of the kitchen, seeing a stampede of kids rushing towards the kitchen, already smelling the food. "Woh," she smiled back to Oni and started towards the Danger Room. "Oh, and about diplomacy.. Well, some people you just can't get a long with, sometimes. Some people just want to start trouble, and when you try to talk things out calmly, well, you know." She smiled.
She walked into the danger room and grabbed the Sentinel Program. "Are you sure you're ready for this? It's pretty intense.."
Oni considered for a moment about how the first time had gone, all his weapons had been deflected and he didn't have any time to use any techniques. They surrounded him and blasted him back to the Stone Age; this time he was ready. "Oh yeah, I'm going to make these things into scrap!" He smiled and headed into the danger room. "Whenever your ready, Jean."
