It was mid-august already, I've been training every day, i already mastered archery, i also know a little taijutsu, not perfectly but enough to hold my position in close combat. And controlling my power is getting easier day by day. There has been some incidents when I destroyed the surrounding and almost injured Hikaru. So I insisted to train on that alone, until I know that i can control it enough to not hurt him. He didn't like that idea at first but he gave up after a while.

I rushed at home from my daily training, almost breaking down the door. Hikaru was making dinner and he startled so badly he spilled the whole box of salt into the pot.

- "Damn it, What the hell Mayumi?"

- "I did it, I finally did it, i was always losing control when i tried before and had to stop, but today i was able to pull it off!" I scream out of excitement.

- "What the hell are you talking about?" He says with the same plain expression.

- "Just come with me, you grumpy old man." I say as i drag him out of the house.

- "I'm just 2 years older than you, you know?" He says with a chuckle.

- "Two and a half, and I don't mean your age you idiot. I mean your personality." I say with a smug expression.

- "What's wrong with my personality?" He says confused.

- "You're way to serious dude, you need loosen up a little." I say as we approach my training area.

- "One of us has to be a grown up and sometimes you act like a five year old, so I'm stuck with that role." He says making fun of me.

- "Well can a five year old do this?" I say as I concentrate on a huge boulder.

- "What am suppose to see again?"

- "Just shut up and let me do my thing okay?"

I take a deep breath and direct my power to the boulder. My hands lit up and the marking on face expense a little as the boulder starts to lift up. I move it all over the training area, put it down and sit on the ground trying to catch my breath.

- "Holy shit, that must weight tons. Are you okay?" He says worried as he sits next to me.

- "Yeah I'm fine, just a little tired."

- "Don't push yourself to hard. I can't think of a situation when you would need to move a fucking boulder." He says with a chuckle and puts his arm around me.

- "Yeah i know, but if i did that and didn't lose control over it. I can control it enough to not be in constant fear of hurting someone. Especially you."

He notices sadness in my voice and pulls me in his arms. We stay like that for a minute, then he stands up and says.

- "I think we should celebrate. Let's go to the village and have some sake. Plus we need to go there anyways to eat, as you so graciously made me ruin our dinner." He chuckles and offers me his hand to help me get up.

- "My goal was accomplished today so I deserve to see drunk Hikaru as an award." As say as i take his hand.

- "You realize that if you get me drunk, you'll have to carry me home, right?"

- " yeah well I'll just use my power to do that." I say showing off my hands.

- "Don't you even dare! Not when you've been drinking too!" He says with a serious expression.

- "Dude it was a joke, calm your tits." I laugh.

- "It would be kinda cool though." He says after a while.

- "What would be cool?"

- "You making me levitate with your power. It would be like i could fly."

- "We can try that sometime. You are definitely much lighter than that boulder." I say as we enter the ramen shop.

- "Two bowls of ramen and the whole bottle of sake, please." He says to the chef.

- "Coming right up!"
