Keiko brought Y/N over and as soon as I opened the door, she pushed Y/N inside then ran off, giggling. Y/N stood there blinking, she acted confused, as if they didn't plan this, maybe they didn't, who knows. "Sorry, she made me come here, I don't mean to intrude.
"Whatever, I don't care, anyways what did I say about worrying about what others think?"
"I'm trying to work on it..."
I roll my eyes at this, she might be trying, but she isn't trying hard enough! Anyways, I haven't had time to train her since the sleepover so I guess now is as good a time as ever. "Well since you're here, why don't we work more on your training?" I suggest, sticking my hands in my pockets.
"Sure, sounds great!" She exclaims, her eyes lighting up. This is confusing to me since at the start of all this, she hated the thought of using her electricity powers. Using her powers for the first time at the sleepover must have given her the thrill you need to train and get stronger.
"Let's get started then, I have a training room here so we don't have to train outside in the open."
"Sounds good to me!" She exclaims, following me to the training room.
"Don't get too excited, training with me isn't fun, it's brutal and effective."
"I'll be fine!"
We get to the training room and I turn to her, "ok, let's start with the basics, try to produce your electricity." She nods and closes her eyes, focusing. It takes her a minute but electricity begins to spark off her body. I watch as she focuses even more, causing it to get bigger, too big in fact causing her electricity to turn from yellow to blue. I felt her presence get stronger once it changed colors, "Y/N stop, calm down before it gets to be too much for you!" I shouted, but it was no use, she couldn't hear me. Her eyes turned blue as well, I punched her in the stomach to calm her down, getting hit by the electricity in the process.
"Huh? That power felt amazing!" She grins, not showing any signs of pain from my punch. I'd use enough power to at least knock her back a few feet, she should be doubled over in pain, I know for a fact she isn't that strong unless her new powers are helping to make her stronger, but was that even possible?
"That was good, now we should focus on producing a small amount of energy around your body, that'll help you learn to control it." I explain, causing her to nod.
"Do you have any idea on how I should go about doing that without emitting too much?"
"Try breaking your electricity into percentages and try only using five percent."
"Right," she nods, closing her eyes. She tends to close her eyes when she focuses, I'm not sure why though, it doesn't really help you concentrate. I watch closely as she lets small sparks fly off her body. After a few minutes of her producing small sparks, she managed to focus a small part of it in her hand in the shape of a ball. If I'm being honest, I was impressed, not many people can get the hang of it that quickly. I didn't show that I was impressed since I prefer to not show emotions, it's easier that way, it's harder to get attached as well. As I was watching, I felt small shocks over my body, it wasn't much nor was it painful so I barely felt it, but it was there, I didn't worry about it since it wasn't a lot, it just confused me.
"Ok, that's enough, you don't want to over-exhaust yourself the first time."
She nods and lets it all disappear, "that felt so good!"
"Don't go and get obsessed with power."
"I won't, you don't have to worry, what are we doing next?"
"We're taking a break and you're gonna eat to refuel yourself, you're new to this, you don't wanna go overboard."
"Aw, I wanted to train more!"
"Later, now come on," I say, walking out of the room and towards the kitchen. As we make our way to the kitchen, I feel another twitch like earlier. I managed to hide it from Y/N but I need to figure this out and get it under control, I guess I could talk to Kurama or even Botan but that would have to wait, Y/N can't see me needing help, I don't want to look weak in front of her, I don't know why it bothered me so much though, normally I don't care what anyone thinks of me. We got to the kitchen and I started getting ingredients out, I might not look like it but I do know how to cook. Most people don't know this about me because I don't show most people my true side, that I'm actually a softie who cares for their friends. I turn around to face Y/N, "don't tell anyone about this."
"Don't worry I won't, but I'm honored you're letting me see this side of you if you don't let others see."
"Tch, whatever, go make yourself comfortable, I'll let you know when it's done."
"That's ok, if you don't mind, I'd rather hang out with you while you make it."
"Fine, just stay out of my way."
"Right, I'll stay out of your way!" She exclaims, sitting down on the counter, causing me to chuckle on the inside. I decided to cook pasta since it was fast and easy but as I cooked, I felt a wave of nausea overcome me. I felt tired, although I tried to ignore it. If I got sick, Y/N would see how weak I am, and I can't let that happen.
"So, your electricity turned blue, I think that the blue is stronger than the original yellow electricity. It probably will turn another color as it gets stronger, although, it's peculiar you were able to get it to the second stage and withstand my punch so quickly, I think this power might be more than we thought." I explain, not turning around since I am cooking.
"You think so? Also, that reminds me, why did you punch me?"
"You were giving off too much power for your level, if I hadn't you would have gone power hungry or you would have suffered many burns on your body, possibly even making you sick, you have too slowly got used to your electricity, punching you was the only thing I could think of at the moment."
"Oh ok, that makes sense, sorry for going overboard."
"Stop apologizing, you didn't do it on purpose, did you?"
"Well no but-"
"Then don't apologize," I demand, cutting her off.
"Right, I'll try and work on it more."
I nodded and continued cooking, however this time, I was cooking in silence, she hadn't said anything else, I hope I didn't upset her, wait why do I care if I upset her or not? I never care if I upset someone or not, I don't care about people's feelings so why now? Why now of all times do I care if I upset her or not?
Thirty minutes later, the food was ready. Y/N hadn't spoken in that thirty minutes and it worried me. The last time she went without speaking, she thought she'd upset me because I climbed up in that tree when in reality I was just annoyed, although I'd never actually tell her that. I fixed a plate and turned around to see she had fallen asleep on the counter, a weird place to fall asleep. I sighed and sat her plate down, walking over to her, I shook her slightly, feeling the tiniest of shocks, yet the pain was terrible. "Wake up, food is done." I mutter, making sure not to shake her again.
"Hmm?" She mutters sleepily, opening her eyes.
She's cute when she sleeps, wait what am I saying? She isn't cute! "Food's ready."
"Good, I'm hungry," she smiles, softly, sitting up and hopping off the counter. I sat her plate down on the table along with mine and poured two glasses of sweet tea, hoping she liked tea. "Thanks for cooking." She says, starting to eat.
"It's nothing, just don't tell anyone about this!" I hiss, wanting to make sure she gets the message.
"I already told you I wouldn't, didn't I?"
I nod, "I just want to make sure, I don't want anyone knowing about this side of me, it'd make me seem weak."
"It doesn't make you seem weak, it shows you have a heart, it shows you care!" I shake my head and begin to eat myself, slowly feeling myself getting more and more light headed. I managed to make small talk with her, surprising myself in the process. I don't normally do small talk so it confused me.
It was another forty minutes when we finished eating. We both stood up and put our dishes in the sink. After that, I grabbed her hand, "come on, I want to show you something." She looked surprised and blushed when I grabbed her hand but I just pulled her along, not paying attention to her blush. I planned on showing her my favorite room in this house, the one that I used to hide my art, no one knows that I paint or draw, I've hid it from everyone. As we walked, my movements began to stagger and get slower as I gasped. I was extremely light headed, my eyes began to close, but I couldn't let myself pass out, not in front of Y/N. I don't think there was anything I could do about it though. I faintly heard Y/N's voice saying something but I couldn't make out what she was saying as I fell to the ground, darkness enveloping my body.
