Chapter 18: Mishaps and Training.

No POV

Mystake is arranging tea on the shelfs as the bell on her door rings. She turns around. A woman in a dark brown dress and a cloak that drags about three feet behind her with the hood pulled over her face walks in. Her brown hair falls lightly past her shoulders as she looks down. A little girl, wearing the same clothes walks in beside her. They walk forward. "Do you have anything for the Oojaun berry?" "Oojaun berry," Mystake questions. "Not at the moment." "Can you pleasssse check?" Mystake eyes her suspiciously. "Alright." Mystake climbs up the ladder. She moves some Tomorrow's Tea and it falls. "Hold your breath!" she shouts. The woman and Mystake hold their breath. The little girl tries to but ends up doubled over coughing. A black glow is seen and Mystake and the woman shield their eyes. The flash dies down and the woman looks at where the young girl stood. Instead of seeing a small girl, she sees a Constrictai with her tail trailing behind her. Her blonde hair stops at her mid-back. Her thick eyelashes flutter as she blinks her black eyes. A brown dress clings tightly to her as her cloak hangs around her. "A snake!" Mystake shrieks. "M-mom?" the girl asks. "Emily...?" the woman asks. She takes her own hood off to reveal her black hair and silver eyes. Her tail moves slightly as she slithers up to her daughter. "W-what'sssss Dad gonna ssssssay when, if, he sssssseessssss me?" Emily asks. "I don't know..." her mother marvels at her daughters beauty. "What are you still doing in my shop?" Mystake asks. They bow, "I am ssssorry for ssstartleing you," Rachel apologizes. "I wasssss jusssst looking for sssssomething to cure my hussssband." Mystake looks them over. "You aren't half that bad," she states. "I'm sorry that I can't help you." The two snakes nod and leave.

Lloyd's POV

Okay. No one ate since Cole cooked. I moaned and grabbed some kendo amor. "What," Cindy asks. "Are we doing kendo training?" I shake my head. "No, this is just the safest way to face my mom." I throw one at my sis. She slips it on. Kai hands Cindy one and slips on his own. I swear he's blushing under that mask! Zane hands Haley hers. She blushes and takes it. "Thanks Zane." She slips it on as my Mom steps forward. "Who's first?" she asks. The others push me forward. I glare at them. "Lloyd it is." She says and gets in a fighting stance. I run forward and punch her shoulder. She dodges and punches my stomach. I double over before standing up straight and kick at her. She grabs my leg and slides under me, before popping up behind me. Before I could say anything she twisted my ankle and wrist. I heard a crack. She punches my side and I fall over. "You need to pay more attention, Lloyd." she says. I nod and Zane helps me up. He takes me to the medical bay and wraps my ankle. I laugh, "I can't believe I didn't see that coming." He wraps my wrist. "It sees you cracked three ribs." I moan, "Ugh. Not again." He wraps my chest and takes me to my bed. "Can you get me my laptop?" He nods and hands it to me, before walking back out. I log onto the chatroom.

~Chatroom~

ToriOfTheSkywalkerClan: Dude! Are you okay?!

LloydMasterOfElements: I broke my wrist, sprained my ankle, and cracked three ribs. So I feel GREAT.

ToriOfTheSkywalkerClan: * giggles * ah, sarcasm...

LloydMasterOfElements: Ya think?

ToriOfTheSkywalkerClan: * laughs * You need to stop being sarcastic so we can get to random questions again.

LloydMasterOfElements: Fine.

ToriOfTheSkywalkerClan: What did you do at the boarding school?

LloydMasterOfElements: Play dodgeball, watch as the others got worse grades than me, and hang out with Tron and Brad. What do you do at your school?

ToriOfTheSkywalkerClan: I hang out with Hannah, Casey, Adam, and Alan. I also beat everyone at gym games (dodgeball is the best!) and get my grades pretty good. Ever done some prank on Tron or Brad?

LloydMasterOfElements: I once dyed Brad's hair purple and made Tron get dumped in a pool.

ToriOfTheSkywalkerClan: * laughs * Well I've gotta go visit Aaron. Brb.

Ninjaofmusic: And that's why they're scared of Misako training them.

Question: Should we write about Sensei picking up his family or the others training?
