time skip--two weeks later*

I ran into my room slamming the door .

" Ms . Fox , open the door." Yoko stated , i could practically hear the annoyance in his voice.

" go away!" i locked the door and sat on my bed, upset largely at how all of this got to this point.

"I...said.. open the door!" a growl on the other side, his patience was not one of his best qualities.

" and i said no!" i sat criss cross on my bed ,my fluffy brown and blue tail swishing behind me. Silence sounded and i suspected he left, leaning back againts my bedside window i closed my eyes and replayed everything.

thirty minutes earlier*

"This is stupid" I mumbled as I smoothed my curly hair down. Yoko decided to take me training in the woods because he wasn't sure I could still defend myself.

"The training is only stupid because your not trying." Yoko stated walking in front of me.

I rolled my eyes annoyed that kurama couldn't be here instead . Don't get me wrong yoko was very nice to look at . Rippling muscles , sharp face , gorgeous hair and piercing eyes.

But he was also a prick.

Twice already he attacked me with no mercy . The bruises that would surly appear on my body would need to be treated properly.

"Listen, I haven't been attacked in weeks , maybe whoever it is just gave up." I stood rubbing my backside . Stretching I noticed him eye me slowly before he exhaled.

" what?" I asked annoyed , throwing him a glare.

"Nothing , I'm just wondering how you could be so stupid." He crossed his arms over his chest.

"I'm not stupid!" I yelled slamming my feet down . "I'm merely saying I haven't been attached in-"

"So you honestly think because you haven't been attacked it's over. " he stopped me

"Well i-"

"You think because you've been fine no one will come get you ."

"Well no , but-"

" do you think so many of us would be wasting our time trying to train you and protect you that it's all for nothing." He ended .

I took a step back instinctively, shocked and defensive .

" I have better things to do in my free time than to babysit a little girl who can't even protect herself from a few simple attacks."

I looked away from him , hurt and embarrassed. I stared down at my shoe laces trying to figure out what to say.

CHANGE POV Youko *

'Why must females be so sensitive' I stared down st her . Her head bowed staring at her shoes.her fox ears downcast. Her tail , still and low behind her.

A sigh escaped me "Amelia."

Her head slowly rose to show her eyes filling with tears .

'Dammit'

I moved closer to her , her big viovlet eyes stared up at me . I told myself I wouldn't do it . I would not show her that type of affection. Of caring . I needed her to be stronger than this.

"Yoko..?"

" Am-"

Her phone rang and she paused , looking at me she slowly answered it.

"Hello? Yes ..hi Jariku ...I'm sorry I can't right now...tonight? Oh yes sure! I'll see you tonight. Bye."

She hung up the phone a blush on her cheeks.

She looked at me waiting for me to finish.

"Yoko?"

CHANGE POV: Amelia

He just glared at me , his eyes in slits , suddenly a noise sounded to my right , sharp vines darted toward me out of the shadows of the trees.

"Shit!" I ducked and dodged , sprinting away from the attack. I moved quickly behind a tree before jumping onto a high branch. Trying to catch my breath I looked down at yoko . His arms crossed his chest as he leaned his weight on one leg.

"Your supposed to warn me before!" I yelled . He didn't respond , his glare stuck in his face.

" jerk" I mumbled " what is he going to-" the tree I was on started to shake "what the hell!" Losing my balance I tumbled to the ground catching myself on the balls of my feet. I didn't have time to think of what to do next as the wind was suddenly knocked out of me. I flew backwards my back hitting the now slanted tree. On impact I coughed out blood and saliva. I slumped to the ground gripping my stomach.

" you are weak." I slowly looked up to see yoko with his foot still up from kicking my stomach.

" you ...didn't ...have to do..that." I gasped as I slowly pushed up against the tree to gain my ground.

He moved toward me suddenly pushing me against the tree, his left arm pressed against the tree caging me partly with his body . He stared down at me as I attempted to glare upwards through the pain. " you have new powers yet you don't see the urgency in mastering them. You don't think before you attack , you in fact don't even prepare for next attacks quick enough. " he leaned in closer , now eye level with me. "I waste my precious time in this form , risking exposure to humans , to assist you when you ask for help. "

"I'm trying ."

"Trying? Is that what you call this ."

" well what am I supposed to do. You attack me and I can't even breath fast enough , I can't think I can't even-"

" your worthless , and you always will be. Perhaps you could do something though. Give that human Jariku a call , I'm sure he can work fast enough for you to concentrate. After all , all you'll have to do is lie on your back so it shouldn't be that hard-"

I didn't realize what i did , my hand was hot and in the air. Yokos face was turned away from me , his eyes wide in shock, a red palm print forming on the side of his face.

I moved quickly pushing myself away from him and jogged back to my apartment. Tears streaming down my face.
