Rai stood up. The room was small empty and had a light, frizzy feeling to it. Actually everything had a frizzy, sharp feeling to it. Rai felt a sudden draft, he looked down amazed to see he wasn't wearing any clothes. He sucked his teeth, looking at the sliding door he was tempted to just leave naked but a small chuckle from behind the door made him reconsider.

"Just put on the Gi" a feminine voice said. Rai blushed noticing his body was casting a shadow on the sliding door. He quickly grabbed the blue gi, slipping it on half-assed. He struggled having never put on a kung-fu uniform, he tied his belt in the shape of a bow over his navel. His jacket was loose and he had no idea how to tie his hand wraps, or put on the leg wraps. Not taking the time to check himself out, he slipped his black slippers on and opened the screen door. He was greeted by a group of girls, they giggled at him with large smiles, some left the room in shyness. The leader, whom seemed the oldest stepped up to Rai.

"Hello, my name is Suzuki. " she gave a deep bow, she raised her head smiled and spoke again "We are the servants of the dojo, the girls here haven't seen another student, or a man in years, please excuse their rudeness. Also you seem to have- trouble with your gi."she explained

"My what?"

Suzuki smiled, "Your uniform, if you'd be willing I can tie it for you." She reached for Rai's clothing and he let her, she was gently with her touch undoing the knot he made with professionalism.

"You tie it at the waist, like this" she said, demonstrating the correct way of tying a belt. She fixed his clothing then went to his leg wrap.

"Watch carefully" she strung up his leg gear and tied it with ease, then she stood up and showed him how to wrap his hands. She finished quickly and let go of his hands. Rai checked himself out, noticing the difference immediately, he smiled something just felt right about it. As he looked about he noticed the servant girls had left the room all but Suzuki. Rai had noticed something, he had no idea were he was, or what he was doing here or for that matter, what was even going on.

"Ummm, can you tell me what the hells going on?" He seemed to had retained his potty mouth, the servant girl not used to having heard such language, especially wihout warrant frowned. She bowed her head, ready for a scolding

"Did I do something young master?" Rai, was bewildered and before he could speak an apology, he was shocked by a small current of electricity.

" Oww! Graah!" He writhed on the floor comically, yelling curses rapidly "What the fu-" he was cut off by a slap to the face.

"Clean your mouth." A strict blunt womanly voice scolded him. "Watch your moth or I'll shock you again, twice as hard. Now apologize to Suzuki, we do not use language like that freely." The woman was short standing a few inches above five feet, as Rai got back up staggering about she grabbed his wrist.

"Don't fall idiot" she said bluntly, Rai was pissed just about ready to curse the woman out, he then had memories of his recent experience.

"You, a fricken- floosy!" Rai couldn't find the words he wanted, his body disobeyed him, not wanting another shock Rai then forced himself "You dumb bitch!" He shouted. He was rewarded with sharp pain, and another shock, after writhing about again, he spit and got up.

"Old, stinking-" he began mentally chewing her out grumbling to himself words of hate.

"Oh what did you say? I cant hear you if you don't speak like a man." the woman mocked. Rai gritted his teeth, he examined the woman looking for whatever taiser or weapon she used to administer that blow. He saw her almond brown hair, and her youthful face, she couldn't be a day over 23, her eyes were silver. Very unusual, and she had plain flat chested body. She was pretty but not gorgeous and her face gave a confident look.

"Come on fool, its time for you to meet the master, Kaminari-sama" she said. Rai followed her, still upset from earlier.

"Who are you anyways" he said in a loud agitated voice.

"I'm your senior my name is Kaminari Ame, you will refer to me as Kaminari-senpai"

Rai remembered what Koenma said, the last remaining members of the Raiden Clan had been the Headmaster and his daughter. He was obviously standing behind said daughter. He shut up for once, and just followed her. She led him through oriental hallways filled with ornate designs and weapons along the walls. He marveled at them while moving none he less. Soon they reached a door, and exited out into a courtyard. It was that of an asian temple, very alike to the ones you would see monks in. He followed Ame outside, and he led him into another courtyard were a rather old man stood. He wore purple and deep black robes, and smoked from a pipe. His eyes were full of knowledge and power. The air around him also gave off a feeling of power. He pulled the pipe from his mouth and approached Rai examining the boy.

"I guess you will have to do" the old man said slipping his pipe back in his mouth.

"What is that supposed to me-" Rai complained but was soon interrupted.

"Go show him the basics, touch every base and form he can build on. If he cant learn quickly I guess he can just die on a mission." Kamimari said, Ame bowed then grabbed Rai by his wrist tugging him towards another spot.

They soon began their training, she showed him the basics of martial arts, not being to dependent on stance or form. She ran him threw what felt like crash course of fighting. Proper striking, kicking and grappling, then some odd thing called "trapping". He felt exhausted but it all felt natural and and simple to him, Rai didn't have many talents or any hobbies for the matter but he was enjoying this. The sun started to go down and clouds floated above them, giving a pinkish weary glow.

"Hey" Rai shouted to Ame, she crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"This Koenma guy said I'll be going on dangerous missions against demons and crap, shouldn't be teaching me how to use a weapon? " Rai was all happy for the martial arts training, but he didn't feel comfortable simply punching his way through hordes of demons. He got something from Ame he hadn't expected, a smile.

"Very well, that was the next part of your training, watch closely this will be your most important lesson" Ame extended her hand in a cupped fashion, as if she were holding a baseball. Seconds later, a crackling sound pierced the air, her hand began glowing a pinkish color. Then her hand erupted into a fierce ball of lightning. She swung her hand in chopping fashion, outwards away from herself. The lightning lashed out like swords, slicing few feet into the earth.

"This is the Lightning sword" (dammit naruto/kakashi/sasuke/kishimoto/raikiri!)

Rai looked in awe at the woman and her fierce, yet pinkish lightning.

"Someone felt really feminine, showing off her electricity like that" Rai mocked

"I'll cut you "Ame joked allowing the lightning to fade from her hand. Rai was eager, more eager then before. Powers? Nobody said he was going to get that, no school and powers all for free, he was living a dream.

"So how do I do it?"

Ame smiled again, "Cross your legs, sit down and close your eyes." Rai did as she said waiting for more instruction, "Imagine yourself in darkness, devoid of outside thought. Then gather your spirit energy-"

"Spirit energy?" Rai asked confused. Ame's jaw dropped. "You mean to tell me you dont even know what that is?"

Rai frowned "No", Ame sighed then went on to explaining spirit energy, and how it worked and its simple control. When she was done he closed his eyes and she began talking once again.

"Gather the spirit energy at the base of your spine, were your lowest chakra is. Then imagine yourself sitting on top of the energy, and then a violent bolt of lightning striking you from above, charging the energy. That's the basics, but its your spirit and you have to concentrate for it to work"

Rai shook his head up and down eager to begin again. "When your done, visualize the lightning forming around your hand, it will be weak but a lightning sword none the less. If you don't complete this by tonight you may as well forget about dinner, you may not come in until you learn this technique" Ame left without another word. Rai didn't fret, he didn't even want to come in without learning the technique.

Rai concentrated and the sun went down and a storm began brewing, lightning roared above the hills, and flashed in the sky as rain slammed against his face. He winced at first, noticing he ate no breakfast, forgot to check his mail and really had to pea. All types of meaningless things floated within his head and he had trouble concentrating. With final exhale, he skillfully banished those thoughts, sheer will and determination driving him. He imagined imagined himself in pitch black emptiness, a lake beneath him. Even his inner self was meditating deeply, suddenly a blue bolt of electricity ripped through the sky above him piercing the lake. The lake glowed blue filling Rai with energy, and as if he were in trance he repeated it not knowing he had been outside in the rain all night.

As the sun rose, old Kaminari stood staring into a mirror. The mirror flashed a toddler projected on it. He had details of mission, and was wondering if Rai would be ready.

"One week" Master Kaminari said, then stared out the window, he saw rai still meditating, even now that the sun rose. The ground around him was scorched as if he had called own lightning himself. Kaminari smirked, "just like his father". Rai stood, refreshed and exhilarated, he concentrated on his hand and it sparked into rapid violent blue lightning.

"Good"

So yea, review this is only part 1 to this chapter, sorry for this training chap but its kind of necessary. For those wondering how the spirit gun fairs against the lightning sword, at this point equal, this is set right about when Urameshi beat Rando and went on his training. Anyways, if you'd ike to know how Rai fights, think mixture of Eliot from dead or alive and Noctis from final fantasy. Youtube it , see you in little while.
