Walter caught her and rushed her to the infirmary forgetting about the decapitated oni. The doctors looked her over and other than the bumps and bruises she would be fine. Oni eventually quite literally pulled himself together and stood, "Ow." He wandered off into the infirmary and began looking for a very large supply, but they were apparently were in short supply so he lay down next to Integra and waited for her to wake.
Integra took a deep breath and opened her eyes slowly; trying to remember what happened exactly. Once she realized, she threw herself up and almost completely off the bed. Her eyes were wide and afraid of what she had done. She looked around and for a moment, thinking that she had killed Oni before she found him lying beside her. "Ughn…" She plopped her head back to the pillow. "..What happened? Did I… hurt you?" She was too afraid to look over. "I'm sorry," she said. "I thought I had…" She paused, not really wanting to say more.
Oni sighed and tried to hide the large amount of pain he was feeling. "No I'm fine. You surprised me, I never even taught you that technique, the reyou shosen, yet it's the perfect counter to the reout souysen." he smiled, "you have allot of potential, it looks as though your father did a lot of the ground work for you, now that I've tweaked it a little, we should be able to complete the training in as little as 5 years." He laid his head back trying not to convulse as a spasm of pain went down his body.
Integra looked to him, giving a faint smile. "..I.." She turned away for a moment. "..I'm still sorry.." She sighed heavily, the guilt still weighing heavily on her. If he was any other vampire, he would have died and that scared her. She almost killed her own protector.. how bad was that? She was happy that he was alive, but.. still worried, and still sorry. She sighed and shoo-ed the doctors away from her, a bit frustrated and angry, only with herself really.
oni looked to her, "there's no need to worry, or feel guilty either, the fault was my own, I swore that I wouldn't use my vampiric abilities during training, and I kept that promise even when I knew this would happen, it was my choice and to be honest it taught you a important lesson, and me one as well, but the important thing is, that you've learned 2 new attacks today." He stood desperately wanting to pin the next human to the wall and tell them either they could find him some blood or make a donation. But he resisted as he saw Walter and said, "You appear to be low." Walter understood and gave a nod before walking off to make a phone call. Oni looked to Integra again, "as soon as I'm ready are you prepared to continue?"
She looked over to him. Obviously, he hadn't gotten rusty on his mind-reading abilities. "..." She looked into his eyes. "...Yes, when you're ready…" She took a breath.
Oni stood and wandered off and found the bucket of blood packets, and downed them all in a matter of second. His eyes flashed for a moment revealing his vampiric self, bearing his fangs before returning to himself. After a few moments, he calmed back down and returned to the gym.
Integra stood, though the doctors told her to stay… She really didn't care. She'd rest later when she had the time and the energy to deal with their constant nags. She closed the medical door behind her and slowly walked back towards the gym. Her sword was still in the gym on the floor. She walked silently and she opened the door slowly and looked up to see Oni back already. She walked towards the sword, grabbing the sheath and placing it in front of her.
Oni nodded approvingly, "you came up with an impressive move, now let's see if you can match my height for the reyou souysen." With that he leapt into the air.
She hesitated only for a moment before she jumped into the air, her sword unsheathed within not even a half a second. She jumped into the air as high as she possibly could, but wasn't as high as him. She looked to him, her blue eyes determined with only a bit of worry behind them. Which was highly hidden.
Oni looked to her, it was high enough but she would need to practice, "don't worry about the sword just focus on your landing." he landed letting the ball of his feet take the shock and then watched her do the same, "good, that's good enough for a basic move, you'll need to practice these many more times before ill teach you more, but there is something I need to caution you on, these moves put strain on the body and over exert your potential, while this will improve your abilities, you shouldn't practice when your sick or injured, you should also eat very well, don't worry your metabolism will catch up fast. also though I doubt you will encounter this in the field, at least any time soon, You need to watch out for one sword technique, the only technique that surpasses the heten mitsurughi, it is called, the shikutchi if you ever see this you should withdrawal immediately, or if you cannot, you must strike with the ultimate attack of the heten mitsurughi, there is no other choice, I truly hope that you will never encounter such a thing, but I will show you what it looks like." He went to the far end of the room, "now defend yourself." He lowered his stance and prepared to launch.
Integra blinked. "...Wha?" She gripped the sword tightly and looked towards him. He was going to show her? Her heartbeat sped up only a little bit. She gripped the sword tightly and pulled it up defensively. She nibbled on the bottom of her lip. "I'm ready." She said, not knowing if she was actually able to do this. She looked to Oni; he seemed to think she could. She took a deep breath and waited.
oni launched and to anyone else, he disappeared he suddenly knocked her sword completely from her hands and appeared behind her, sword to her neck, "this is the shikutchi." he stepped back and looked to her picking up her sword, "do you understand now?"
Integra's eyes widened slowly as the blade was placed to her neck. She pulled away and grabbed her sword, quickly sheathing it. She faced Oni. "I understand." She looked into his eyes. "...If I do see this attack, which… I hope I don't… I will have to use the ultimate technique. There is no turning back for a vampire. Well, some of them." She forced a smile. "..Thank you for training me, Oni."
oni nodded and said, "hey wait a minuet, first off were not even done you haven't learned one tenth of the heten mitsurughi style and 2 you don't know the ultimate attack, so if you do see it, call for me, I have the only 2 attacks that can beat it, the akakaru reyou n heromecki and the tetsatsu. But for now you have to practice." He sat down and watched correcting her when she made mistakes, and he was glad that there were no major ones tonight and they could spend enough time tonight.
She smiled. "Good point." She turned and started to practice as instructed. She knew she was making mistakes and tried to correct them as she went through. No matter how hard it was, it was much better than any academic work she had to do. She walked all the way back and closed her eyes for a moment. In seconds, she disappeared, and reappeared many times before appearing finally in front of Oni with a HUGE smile.
he smiled, your getting faster but don't even attempt the shikuchi until you've mastered this sword style but very good work, swordsmanship is unlike anything else, it requires that you put your entire heart and soul into it, and that you never loose faith, also that you have a reason a very strong one that you can hold onto even in the toughest times, even when you want to give up you must hang on even harder, and you can win, but you must hold on to the right things, if you don't, your true strength will be cut in half. Now continue try the rout souysen, many of the attacks are aerial so keep practicing and soon you'll be able to jump as high as me."
Integra nodded. She was sore, tired, exhausted… But she didn't care. She wanted to learn as much as she could. She never knew when she would need it. She walked all the way back and closed her eyes. She gripped the sword tightly and jumped into the air. She guessed it was a good thing this place had a high ceiling, or she would have hit it by now. She looked down, and wow… She was up there. She tried to focus on the landing, now. That was probably the hardest part, for her anyway. She landed, almost perfectly. She fell to her knees and chuckled. "I need to work on that." She chuckled and stood and did it again, and again… and again.
Oni looked to her; she was getting better and better. "Yes it is the hardest part, but you're doing better; I think that's enough for tonight." He stood and looked to her "come on lets go." he walked out and said, "tomorrow night, if you wish to you may come with me tomorrow night."
She looked up to him. "Do you think that will be wise?" She smiled. "I don't think Walter would enjoy that too much." She chuckled. "Plus, I still have paperwork, and… ugh, homework to do… I don't like the academics as much as this training." She looked into his eyes. "Thanks for the offer. Maybe I can another time. Maybe when the Knights and the agents accept me here." She looked down for a moment.
Oni looked to her and nodded, "very well, good night Integra." He wandered off and eventually went to his room this was getting interesting. He wondered what would happen when she faced her first true opponent.
Integra smiled. "Goodnight, Oni." She walked towards her bedroom and with a huge sigh; she closed the door behind her. She placed the sheathed sword on the table beside her bed carefully and slowly pulled her jacket from her shoulders. She placed her glasses on the side table and laid herself in bed. She closed her eyes, lying on her side. She was tired, but still some of the energy was in her. She gave a small smile. She finally had a chance to sleep. There was still a lot of paperwork, but like Oni had said before. It would be there in the morning. She looked over to the clock. Of course, morning was only in a couple of hours; at least she'd get some sleep. She let out a breath and slowly fell to sleep, hugging the pillow tightly.
