Ryuki stared at the blue screen in front of her. What the heck? Was this because of Kurou no tatsu? She looked at the black ring on finger suddenly the writing on the screen changed.

A skill has been created!
Studying-1
"Go screw yourself."
She got so wrapped up in studying that she lost track of time. Until her door burst opened she leaned back in her desk chair to see Hiro carry a tray into her room.
"Ryu-Tan." he said, "Dinner."
"Ryu-Tan?" she wondered taking the tray and handing him all the studying work she'd done to show to their mom. "That's new. Why are you calling me that now?"
Hiro just stared up at her.
"Just go give that to mom, okay?" she sighed, "I can't leave the room, Hiro so go, I'm grounded. Go on."
Hiro left shutting the door.
"Ryu-Tan." She scoffed eating. "and burnt food, as always...no wonder I'm underweight. I wonder if he gets any veggies or anything. Burnt food can't be any better for him than it is me right? He needs proper nutrition too." She shook her head, "Why am I thinking about this?"

"So mom and Kaito don't like me at all." She said, her blue eyes going empty as she stared at the screen. "Figures." she sat there staring at it for a moment. "Tsk. " she closed it. "Like I care!"
The door to her room slammed open again.
"Ryu-Tan is not grounded!" Hiro announced happily. "I asked!"
Ryu got up and carried the tray downstairs where she left it next to the sink she was about to do the dishes when a sudden pain shot through her head.
Danger Sense-1
"HIRO!"
She tackled her brother away from the door just as something came flying past. It cut her ponytail off her head. They rolled into the living room and she let him go getting to her feet and looking around. Smart Hiro ran to mom and Kaito. "This isn't good."
"What's going on?" Kaito demanded.
"I-..." she looked at them her eyes emptying. "I need to go out for awhile. I'll probably end up calling dad so don't wait up."
With that she ran towards the door and quickly got her shoes on. She was out the door and into the yard in seconds only to stop dead at the sight outside the gates.
"Now, see here, young lady." Kaito grabbed her wrist in a death grip. "As long as you live in my house you wont go running off in the middle of..."
"ZOMBIE!" Hiro cried pointing.
Ryu jerked her wrist away one was heading right towards them how had it got past the gate? Her right fist was suddenly surrounded in white/blue mana. She threw an under punch with all of her might.
"Dragon Fist!"
Dragon Fist-1
The punch connected to the stomach and the zombie vanished into black smoke.

That was it? That was annoying.
"You can't leave us!" her mother said suddenly.
"You'll only get in my way." Ryuki said, smoke rising off of her fist she flexed her hand open and close a few times. "But fine. You have to do exactly what I say."
Her mother nodded.
"Ryu-TAN!"
Ryu spun lashing out with a kick as she did so the zombie went flying into a tree.
Dragon Style Martial Arts-1
"My ass." Ryu thought.
"Why is your uniform so short?" Kaito wondered.
"It's called a gi." Ryu corrected.
She wore a black gi with a black belt around her waist. The gi was in dress form and was short. She wore a black short sleeve shirt under the gi and black shorts as well.
"and no is not the time." She dodged the zombie and sent it into the tree again it went up in smoke. "Okay, we're heading out. Remember, do as I say."
Around an hour later she leveled up and found out that she got 5 stat points from it. She didn't bother with them she was earning enough on her own kicking zombie ass. She glanced at the alley way just in time to see Hiro deliver a solid kick to the zombie that had gotten to close. Right in the stomach of course he fell over having kicked so high she rushed over and took care of it but pride bubbled in her gut.
"There are way too many of these things." She said looking around. "We've only made it five miles we'll never get to the clan house like this." She could feel her mother and Kaito's disapproval of going to the clan house but didn't care. "What I need is away to make this go faster..."
"Why not use a weapon?" Kaito asked, he picked a bat up out of the garbage. "I played collage baseball I could probably help out."
" A weapon?" Ryu wondered and looked at the ring on her finger. "Yeah, a weapon. " she closed her eyes backing away from her family she fed the ring her Ki. "Kurou no tatsu!"
She opened her eyes and watched as the shoto style sword appeared in her hand and the ring vanished. The overwhelming power surround her.
"Clan Master said I needed training before using Kurou no tatsu but what better training than a real fight?"
"That's not a zombie." Hiro pointed.
Ryu turned around.
"Is that a kit?" she wondered. "A fox demon? Cool. No offense, old man, but I'm trained to handle these situations. You just get involved if they get to close."
With that she shot off she suddenly knew how to wield the sword she'd had lessons since she was young of course but with nothing this small. Knowledge filled her head as she fought and killed Zombies and fox demons.
Around twenty minuets later several clan members, including her cousin and father arrived on scene out of nowhere. They stood back and watched.
"You're just standing there, Ryu!" mom yelled, "Help your daughter this instant!"
"So now she's my daughter?" Ryuzaki wondered looking at his ex-wife. "Ryuki is doing splendid on her own and has even managed to keep the three of you safe."
"Dwagon fist." Everyone watched Hiro throw a punch. "Aww, it not working."
Ryuzaki chuckled and went back to watching his daughter.
"See, Aki? As I told you Ryuki is more than worthy of of being clan heiress to be able to wield a sword so flawlessly with out training."
"How is she controlling the swords power, uncle?" Aki asked. "Surely, she will succumb to it soon."
Ryu skidded backwards her sword blocking a spell from the fox demon she was fighting.
"Swallow all light! Into Night! No shadows! ETERNAL DARKNESS!"
The clan froze in shock as Ryu slashed her sword releasing a wave of black energy that swallowed the enemies that were surrounding her.
"I am Darkness! I am Night! In the Shadows I breathe! Bring unto me ENERGY!"
She held Kurou no tatsu high in the air and energy flew to it out of the darkness. White/blue energy like her mana. Her darkness spell ended there were no monsters in sight.

Kurou no tatsu-1
Eternal Darkness-1
Bring unto me Energy-1
Ryu shook her head.
"That's enough, Ryuki, put your sword away." Ryuzaki ordered.
"Ring!" Ryu demanded and Kurou no tatsu became a ring on her finger again. "Ugh."
Just like that she was drained. She was tired, exhausted. She swayed and collapsed.
Aki jumped forward and caught her on instinct. He blushed when she took hold of his shirt and held it tight. She leaned her head into his chest and was lost to the world.
