Well, this is the next one. Two chapters posted in one day! Yey for me! Tell me what you think by reviewing. Even if you just send in a good or bad. One letter is good enough...I think. K, here goes...

MAD CAT : 4 Old Man

Cont. of flashback

"Who's heard of training a boy this old? They must start young." The odd old lady murmured to him. The old man looked at me approvingly. "Then we'll be the first. I'm sure he can do it." End of flashback. (I know it's short but that how it all began.)

I made sure to pack food and drink in case I rested to the side and was hungry. OK, here goes. I thought. I pushed the bike forward with a kick on the ground. The bike's motor growled to life. Thundering with a devilish sound.

I named my bike Avail, it's black with silver flames that has blue tips. For some reason though, he'll accept a bike but not a car. I shook my head, I'll never understand that man. Then, I started speeding up, accelerating on the way.

It took about 1 hour till I got there. But they lived up a mountain taking about 30 minutes more. With the roar like my bike, I'm sure they know I'm coming. Yet when I got there they were so surprised. "Omo...where did you came from?" Yuo, Ruell's wife asked.

They act like this. What a weird couple. "You know I was coming, even without hearing the purr of Avail. I know you people better than that. I know you have ways of knowing." I said matter of factually.

"Geez~ Talking with such a tone to a poor old married couple like that. How cruel." Ruell whined pitifully. "Oh, drop the act." My face serious, avoid from emotion. "We really have brought you up well, Mad Cat."

I flinched, I really don't like being called that. It reminded me of how embarrassing it was being called of that name in the school hallways. "What's to flinch about? You earned it! You've fought for it and was received such a cool title." They said.

The couple gave a look to each other. "We really raised you well." Yuo dabbed the corner of her eyes dramatically. I sighed. "So, devoid of motion, full of focus. Not letting your guard down. A true Night's Claws." They said proudly.

The dojo was decorated and built in an Asian fashion. The couple, I could never figure out if they are really Asians or something else. No offense meant.

This place where I'm right now is in the outskirts of the city Gierra. This country is beautiful. A place created by all countries combined. Like U.S.A, Japan, Russia, China, Germany...etc. Many, many more. A place of peace, at least it should be.

It's divided into five sections. East Bloom, West Hage, North Xord,South Gize, and the Central Lue. I'm in Central Lue, city Gierra. A little geography there.

Ruell stared at me with patience and ease. I mirrored his patience but not my ease. His dojo has lots of traps, you can never truly relax in a place like this, no matter how stupid and welcoming they try to pretend to be.

"What did you come here for?" He finally spoke through the silence. "To empty my mind and clear the chaos in my thoughts." I reported. "Is something bothering you?" He questioned, piercing his eyes through my soul. "Just a disturbing dream." I partially lied.

Yuo and Ruell both nodded. "Ok" And soon I was outside, alone with bamboo sticks and straw dummies. I gripped the wire with my fingers, tightening it with my lips and teeth. I flicked my wrist, and dance to a merciless song. Bamboo sticks and dummies were sliced and shredded after a few motion.

I wonder how Julios will find me? I mean, is he trying to find me right now? I know it's delusional but even against the odds and logic, I'm still hoping, waiting. Is that so bad? Those thoughts clouded my sharpness which flashes like a katana. But that doesn't mean the blade is dull.

I saw through the old geezer's surprise attack. "Don't ever let your emotions get you. Especially in a real fight. When one day you have someone you want to protect, remember to always have a clear mind." He's really good at that.

A few days passed, then a week went by. They helped me clear my thoughts but not my feelings. I'm going crazy because of him. I miss him. I want to see him. That's the conclusion I've made.

There is a month till school starts. What am I going to do now? Maybe I should visit my foster parents. It's been awhile. Julios...*sighs*...I can't believe this. It's like a fairy-tale or fictional book. It's a dream. I can't stand this. Jul! My soul screamed.

I refuse to think that your nonexistent. You promised you'll find me...so I can't just stand here. We'll see each other again and be happy. I'll get to know you more. What you like. How you lived so far. I know it's girly but I can't help feel this way.

Taking my phone out, I called my foster parents. "Hello? Noirre? Is that you? How have you been?" answered a warm and gentle voice. "Elisha! Yes, I'm fine. How are you? If you don't mind, I want to visit you guys." She gasped. I waited for a moment. "Oh, Noirre! Come, come! You're welcome anytime. I miss you. And yes, we're fine."

I sighed with relief. "Is something wrong?" She said filled with concern. "No...I'm fine. How's little Tony?" Tony is there real son, he's about 3 years old now. When he was born, I finally felt like leaving. I didn't want to go before because I didn't want them to be lonely. They've always wanted a child.

I will be always be grateful to them but this is not my family. They are but its not the same... I don't know how to express it. "He's doing good. Tony is growing up to be very energetic and cute." I chuckled. "When are you coming over?" She asked.

Wweeeelllllllllllll...? What do you think? OK, I know I ask that a lot but I really need to know if I'm doing this well. Oh, well. *shrugs shoulders and sighs* Next chapters will come out soon. *starts to talk again to my teddy bear* I know I'm weird...Don't hate mehhhh! JK. No, no I'm not. No, really I'm just kidding. Not! Jk... What?
