-1"Oh, so glad to see you again, Kazuki-sama!" Seto hugged Doroboo. Rika, Ryou, and Bakura looked stunned to see a tall man hugging a shorter man, like their sensei.
"Ummm...," Bakura started, raising his finger up, as if getting permission to speak.
"I told you that this was my old sensei, right?" Doroboo smiled, placing his long arm over Seto's shoulders.
"What?!" the three teens looked shocked that their teacher looked like a teen, and trained the twenty year old man.
"How old did you think I was?" Seto questioned.
"17," Rika answered.
"18," Ryou replied.
"20," Bakura said.
"Wrong, wrong, and wrong. Sensei here, was actually at our births, brothers," Doroboo smiled.
"Really?!" Ryou seemed really shocked.
"In fact, you can call him your grandpa. Once our parents died, he took care of us, until I was 18, and able to take care of your two," Doroboo wrapped his arms around his brothers, who looked like they were meeting their true sensei for the first time in 10 years. Bakura, Ryou, and Rika trained with Seto since they were five. Rika met Ryou and Bakura through Seto.
"That's why he is always more than a teacher, but like our parent?" Bakura looked stunned, and asked his oldest brother.
"That's right," he answered.
"Well then," Ryou got out of his brother's hug, and walked over to his sensei. "How old are you really?"
"You wouldn't believe me, even if I told you," Seto smiled, his eyes closing.
"Try us!" Rika laughed.
"I'll ready to believe anything after hearing this," Bakura got out of Doroboo's grip.
"O.k. I am actually 100 years old," Seto laughed. Everything was silent, and the teens' jaws dropped.
"What?! You can't be serious!" they shouted at the same time.
"It's true. I was even around for your parents births. All four of you!" Seto laughed gently at the teens, who looked like they were ready to faint. "Well enough of the trip down Memory Lane, let's get to training!" Seto pointed toward the stage.
After 10 minutes of putting on their outfits, they came out of the dojo. Rika had her hair styled up differently since the last time they trained. It was up in a ponytail, and wrapped at the bottom in a red ribbon. Her shirt was Chinese, sleeveless, red, and had flowers on it. The pants she wore last time were red, but the ones she had on today were black, with a gold lacing at the bottom. It came past her knees, and the ribbons were in bows.
Bakura's hair was still let out, but he had a white headband that held his bangs to his head. He still wore his black, sleeveless shirt he wore underneath his jacket, and had matching pants. They were long pants, and didn't have ribbons or gold lacing.
Ryou's hair was pulled back into a ponytail, like Rika's, except with no ribbons. He had a shirt like Rika's, except his was blue with a lighter blue streak at the bottom of it. His pants were a lighter shade of blue, and were knee length like Rika's.
Doroboo stood watch, and Seto stepped onto the stage, his students following him. "O.k. Let's get ready for our training. I have new opponents for you though," Seto looked toward the dojo. His students looked in his direction, and the door opened. "Let me introduce you to my cousins," Seto smiled in their direction.
One was a teen male no taller than Seto himself, and had pine green hair, that was shoulder length. He had a patch over one eye, but the other eye was sea blue. He wore a blue kimono, and was a cat beast.
On his left, stood a shorter man, who looked shorter than Bakura. He had waist length, violet hair, with brown bangs that stuck out of a blue, soft hat. His raptor tail swayed back and forth. Blue eyes studied his targets carefully. His black kimono blew in the wind.
On the right of the cat beast, was an even shorter man. He had spiky, red hair, and red eyes to match. The large, wolf ears he had on top of his head, flickered as it picked up the noises around him, causing his tail to flicker madly. The red and white kimono he wore, swayed gently, even though his tail kept hitting it madly.
"The cat beast is Marik Imeri. The raptor demon is Ryuzaki Hakani. Last, but never least, the wolf fellow is Kotsuzaku Takahashima. Students, today's training, fight against your weakness!" Seto raised his hands, and Ryuzaki jumped onto the field. "This is your fight, Rika!" Seto cleared, causing Bakura and Ryou to jump off.
"Good luck, Rika-sama!" Ryou cheered. Seto looked between Rika and Ryuzaki, and brought his arm down. "Begin!"
Ryuzaki jumped into the air, and came down in a punch. Rika side stepped, and aimed in midair. "Spark!" Lighting came out of her finger tips, and zapped her opponent.
"Is that the best you could do?!" Ryuzaki chuckled, and brushed off the top part of his kimono. "Earth Helix!!" He stomped on the ground, and a jolt of green lighting traveled across to Rika. It nailed her in the chest, causing her to scream, and fall backwards.
"Rika!" Ryou shouted.
"You gotta fight, girl!" Bakura shouted, as if that bit of advice would help her dodge the oncoming attack. She got nailed hard, and was thrown backwards, and tumbling.
"Get up! You gotta dodge that attack!" Ryou and Bakura started shouting, and pumping their fists.
"Sensei! Is she allowed to go full beast?!" Ryou shouted.
"Of course!" Seto replied.
"Good! Now let's get this party started!" Rika jumped into the air, dodging another Earth Helix. "Transform!!" she shouted, and electricity surrounded her. As the ball landed, it split in half. "Yeow! Let's play!"
"Alright!" Ryuzaki charged at her. "Transform!" he shouted, and a green light surrounded him. It split right in front of Rika, causing her to jump into the air.
"What is that?!" Rika shouted. Ryuzaki stood hunched over, and had a large, dinosaur snout, lined with razor sharp fangs. His hands were raptor-like, and had razor sharp claws at the end. The feet were raptor-like, and he only had a shred of pants on. He had stripes that lined his body, and long, full tail, which swung back and forth, even more powerful than before.
"Let's fight!!" he jumped into the air, and snapped at Rika's arm.
"This is going to be hard!!" she shouted, smacking him the face with her tail. He landed hard, and Rika landed across the ring from him. He jumped up, and charged again, roaring loudly. "Get back!!!" she geared up for an attack, her eyes turning yellow. "Lighting...HELIX!!!" she shouted, shooting a large, powerful beam of electrical energy at him, sending him out of the ring. Seto raised his arm, and shouted out.
"Rika wins!" Rika panting, turned back to her half cat form, and tumbled out of the ring.
"Whoa!" Bakura caught her, and laughed. "Didn't know you had it in you!"
"Nice job, Rika-sama!!" Ryou cheered, smiling brightly.
"Very well done," Doroboo walked over the her, and took her out of Bakura's arms.
"I could have held her!" Bakura snapped at the thought of his brother thinking he was weak.
"How, if you have to fight?" Doroboo smiled, gesturing his head toward the ring. Bakura turned his head toward the ring, and saw Marik throwing a ball of water in the air.
"Let's go!" Marik taunted playfully.
"Alright! My turn!!" Bakura hopped into the ring.
"Begin!" Seto's arm went down. Marik ran right by Bakura, and shot him in the back with a giant ball of water.
"Water Jet!" he shouted.
"Augh!!" Bakura fell to his knees, as Marik kept pounding him with water balls. "Enough of this game!" Bakura jumped into the air, and came behind Marik, hands blazing with red flames.
"What?!" Marik turned around to Bakura.
"Dragon Fists!!" he punched Marik dead-on in his stomach, sending him tumbling back. "Ha ha! No water gun is gonna keep this fire beast down!!" Bakura taunted.
"Transform!!" Marik shouted, which caused Bakura to stop laughing.
"What?!" he screamed, as the ball of water charged at him, and knocked him out of the way. The water died down, Marik stood upright, and had longer hair. It reached the bottom of his back, and his tail was fluffier than it was before. He had pawed feet, and large claws coming out of his hands. He didn't have a snout, but had a row of razor sharp fangs.
"O.k. A little set back, but time to get even! Transform!!" Bakura jumped into the air, and fire formed around him. He landed, and the fire spread all over the field. "Let's dance!" Bakura charged at Marik, and grabbed him.
"What on Earth?!" Marik shouted, as he was hurled into the air. Bakura was shining, and opened his jaws.
"Dark...Flame...RUSH!!" Bakura shot a beam of dark fire out of his mouth, and shot Marik even further into the air. The cat beast came back down with a bang, and Seto raised his arm again.
"Bakura wins!" Bakura turned back to a half cat form, and jumped off the stage like nothing had even happened.
"And what! That was...easy...," Bakura tumbled over, and landed in Doroboo's arms.
"Yeah easy!" Rika laughed, petting Bakura's head, who just growled at her.
"Next up, Ryou!!" Seto raised his arm, and Kotsuzaku sneered at Ryou.
"Come on, Kitty Cat! Time to play!" he laughed in a sinister voice. Ryou swallowed hard.
"Not good at all...," he whimpered.
