A/N: I know its super short but beggars can't be choosers.

Everyone gathered around the two. Kyo's eyes were as wide as saucers, "How did you do that?"

Carmen shrugged her shoulders, "Let's just call it instinctual..."

Ounce again no one suspected that Shigure was watching with keen hazel eyes.

Kyo then whispered softly, "Can I speak to you alone?"

Carmen nodded and she said, "Hey I'll be right back."

She then took off into the woods to a spot she hoped everyone's animal senses couldn't hear.

Kyo a few minutes later exclaimed, "I'm going to take a piss."

He met up with Carmen in the dense forest.

He rubbed the back of his head. He opened his mouth but no words came out. He then got on his knees and bowed.

He stated, "I know your skills are far superior than mine. And I- I want you to teach me. Teach me how to fight, like you."

Carmen told him, "Get up."

He obeyed.

She looked him over deep in thought. Then she threw her jacket to the forest floor, "Show me what you got."

Kyo ran head on towards her, fist ready. She was able to easily dodge the move and trip him up. He face planted and Carmen pinned him to the ground. He tried to move but he found himself paralyzed by her surprising strength.

She commanded, "Get up. Where done."

Kyo did so. Carmen stated, "Kyo you are a cat not a bear. You shouldn't rely on your strength because that's not your strong point."

Kyo got red with anger, "What the Hell do you know?"

Carmen gave Kyo a hug. Which turned him into an orange cat. She growled, "Listen to me. You were the one who wanted my help so you just need to calm down and except my words. You know you aren't one of the strongest in your family. In fact I bet your one of the weakest."

Kyo nodded.

Carmen shook her head, "See what I mean. You have to draw on your unique talents for your fighting."

She stared him in the eye, "You have an amazing ability that no one else has. Do you know what it is?"

Kyo tilted his head to the side, confused.

She stated, "FLEXIBILITY! That is your strongest point. But you also have agility, reflects, night vision and will power. So explain to me why you have all these great aspects yet you use none of them!"

Kyo was about to say something but Carmen continued he rant, "Also you need to learn PATIENCE. That is one of the key elements to winning a battle even if you are strong. How many times did I go after Kagura? None! That's how you do it! You let them come to you and use their own momentum or strength against them."

She then took a deep breath and looked him in the eye, "Are you sure your ready for this?"

Kyo shouted, "Hell yeah!"

Carmen smirked, "Alright then..."
