Meanwhile Hiki runs into Chazz at her light speed.
Chazz: (Is on the floor having fallen from the impact). What is it Hiki?
Hiki: Master can we get food ready for everyone outside?
Chazz: (Chuckles a little bit). Is that why you ran at light speed?
Hiki: (Blushes). Maybe but I also wanted to see you very much.
Chazz: (Pets Hiki's head). Well I am glad then.
Hiki: (Blushes more as she hides her face in Chazz's shirt). Master.... (Says in a small whisper that Chazz cannot hear). I love you master very much....
Chazz: What did you say Hiki?
Hiki: (Still blushes). Oh nothing master, oh is Maru and Luna going to join us.
Chazz: I am not sure. I told them we might be eating outside later but Maru said that they will eat later so I am not sure.
Hiki: Well let's go and get food for everyone.
Chazz: Yes lady Hiki. (Smiles sweetly to her and bows like he would to Jennifer).
Hiki: (Blushes more). Master don't do that.... (Whispers). You'll make my heart flutter more than it already has.
Back to everyone outside that still relaxes, Yami still lies back with his eyes closed seeming to rest but not fully asleep as Jennifer meditates with Shizen still. Kura sits near Yami as Kairi lies resting her head on top of Tori).
Chazz: (He and Hiki come back out with a cart full of food for everyone).
Hiki: Ohh time to eat.
Jennifer: (She, Kura and Shizen look Chazz's way as Yami still sleeps and Kairi opens her eyes sitting up on Tori as she rubs her eyes). Ooh good timing. We were starting to get hungry.
Kura: Thank you Sir Chazz and Miss Hiki.
Tori: (Continues to sleep but at the same time pulls Kairi down to his chest).
Kairi: (Is surprised but lies down again snuggling up to Tori as she holds him close liking how warm the holkd is with a light blush).
Jennifer: Umm so what did you bring to eat?
Chazz: We have some sandwiches, some pasta salad and some chips to add too it. Also some juice as well or water if some would fancy that.
Jennifer: Ooh sounds great; if Maru does not join us he is missing out.
Kura: Yami it is time to wake up.
Yami: (Continues to pretend to sleep).
Kura: (Sighs). Heavy sleeper then, he has something in common with Sir Tori.
Hiki: Probably does.
Chazz: (Talks to Kairi as she stand by everyone else). Kairi it is time to eat.
Kairi: (stutters a little not knowing what to do not able to go over to eat with everyone). B-but I can't get up.
Jennifer: (Eyes Tori giving a glare in suspicion). ... What do you mean.
Kairi: I-I. (Blushes a little more being held by Tori who rests peacefully unable to get up).
Hiki: Well then Tori is being forward today isn't he?
Tori: (Still hangs onto Kairi as he rests with a smile).
Kairi: (Blushes a little bit but enjoys being held).
Jennifer: (Does not know what to think one part of her thinking it's cute and the other part wanting to shoot an arrow at Tori).
Shizen: (Laughs). Well it is cute though.
Hiki: It really is, I kind of don't want to wake him up.
Jennifer: I will wake him. (Walks over casually with her bow in her hand).
Hiki: I say without the bow.
Jennifer: No need to worry about that. (She says politely with a innocent smile as she stands by Tori and kneels down and Kairi looks confused as she pokes Tori's face).
Hiki: May Tori rest in peace.
Jennifer: (Continues to poke Tori's face so he can wake up).
Chazz: Umm milady?
Jennifer: Come on, wake up already. (Continues to poke Tori).
Tori: (As he sleeps). ... What....
Jennifer: Tori wake up.... (Sings that sweetly but also a little creepily with a polite yet a little scary of a smile).
Tori: (Continues to sleep).
Jennifer: Come on now. (Pokes Tori in the cheek hard but not to painfully just to get him to wake up).
Chazz: Umm milady not so hard now.
Jennifer: Well he is not waking up... I have an idea. (Kneels down to whisper in Tori's ear pinching him to make sure he's awake to hear her and says). Now I know you like sleeping and I do not mind that but you are holding on to my sister and your hand is very near some places so you have to make a choice.... Let go of her or not and if you do not I have my bow on the ground aimed at your arm... Now make your choice.
Tori: (His arm retracts and he wakes up suddenly).
Jennifer: (Sits up and smiles innocently at Tori as she pick up her bow putting it over her shoulder to carry). Good choice.
Tori: (Still hugs onto Kairi one more time anyways as he get up without Jennifer seeing).
Kairi: (Stands up when Tori does as they walk back to everyone). Are you alright, did she say something?
Tori: Just something that got me scared.
Kairi: I am sorry. (Looks up at Tori with concern).
Jennifer: (Walks back to everyone with a big smile as she acts like she had done nothing).
Chazz: Uh huh nice secret there milady.
Jennifer: (Smiles innocently still). I have no idea what you are talking about.
Chazz: (Smiles nervously). Whatever you say Lady Jennifer.
Jennifer: So shall we eat or should we wait for Maru and Luna.
Kura: And Yami is asleep still, shall I wake him?
Hiki: I'm hungry so let's eat.
Jennifer: Maybe they will join later.
Kura: (Goes over to Yami and shakes him a little).
Yami: (Opens his eyes looking annoyed). ... What?
Kura: It's time to eat.
Yami: (Stands grumpily and a little sleepily as he walks over rubbing his eyes). Fine....
Hiki: Yay time to eat!
Tori: (Walks over to eat as well).
Kairi: Oh I can get a blanket to sit on, hold on one minute. (Runs quickly into the mansion zooming past Chazz).
Jennifer: Wait you do not have- and she is gone.
Chazz: Well I guess we do not have a choice. I will make sure everything is ready to eat.
Hiki: Oh come on master please can I at least take a bit of a sandwich.
Chazz: No not yet Hiki.
Kura: I will help you if you wish.
Jennifer: Well she runs fast so it will not be long.
Kairi: (Meanwhile she runs to her room and grabs a blanket with different shades of pink stripes on it and zooms back. When in the hall she accidentally running right into Maru making both crash into the ground and landing on top of Maru). Gah look out!
Maru: (Rubs his head after falling over). Oww... Are you alright?
Kairi: (Gets up as she rubs her head to looking at Maru with concern). I think so, I am sorry I didn't mean to. Are you alright?
Maru: (Now realises who had run into him). L-lady Kairi... Yes I'm alright.
Kairi: Sorry I think I ran to fast again but I guess this time I did not run into a tree. (Offers her hand to help Maru up).
Maru: (Hesitates for a second as he retracts his hand for a second but grabs her hand to get up). T-thank you.
Kairi: For what...? I mean why would I not help you up? I mean even if you were not my quest I still ran into you.
Maru: No not that, thank you for being a good person that is willing to talk to me normally.
Kairi: Why would I not? You are a nice person and that is why I want to talk to you and thank you for saying I am a good person. Truth is I just like talking to you. You seem like you could be another great friend.
Maru: (Smiles). W-well either way you have my thanks.
Kairi: (Smiles brightly). No problem I am here to talk anytime. I just hope our spirits get along.
Maru: That may be harder then it needs to be.... (As Maru scratches the back of his head like something is bothering him).
Kairi: (Gives a concerned look). Are you alright, is something wrong?
Maru: (Looks at the blanket). Yes I am fine... What is the b-blanket for?
Kairi: Everyone wanted to have a picnic outside for lunch so I was getting something to sit on. You and Luna were invited to join.
Maru: ... I know but Luna still seems to be in a bad mood so I will come out in a bit.... (As he says that his eye changes color again to blue and silver).
Kairi: Oh umm alright we will save you some to eat... Your eyes they.... (Looks at Maru's eyes with curiosity).
Maru: (Realizes where Kairi is looking and panics a little). Ohh these eyes... Mean uhh Luna is back in my mind for some rest so she is always nearby... Is what she told me. (Realizes he should not have told Kairi this but he could not bring himself to lie to her).
Kairi: Oh wow they look cool that way. (Looks at Maru's eyes being fascinated by them).
Maru: (Blushes). Ohh... Well they do not compare... To your own... L-lady Kairi.
Kairi: (Blushes faintly as well and looks down to hide it). Thank you, that is very sweet.
Maru: (Panics and runs away suddenly in a flustered rush). S-sorry I have somewhere to be!
Kairi: U-umm? (Looks back seeing Maru run down the hallway being a little confused then after a moment runs out to everyone outside with the blanket). Hi everyone I'm back!
Chazz: Hello Miss Kairi did you run into any trouble?
Kairi: I umm ran to fast again and crashed into Maru on accident. I think I scared him a little but he was being nice.
Chazz: That is good. Can you help get the blanket set up as I ready the food.
Kairi: I can. (Starts setting out the blanket as Jennifer helps her and Kura helps Chazz).
Shizen: Here let me handle that. (Plants that are around the edges of the blanket start to move and hold it down the blanket making it unwrinkled).
Kairi: Whoa cool.
Tori: (Helps with the blanket as well).
Hiki: (Dazes at the food in a sight of want).
Jennifer: Hiki be patient, we will eat once it is set out.
Hiki: Fine. (She then sits on the blanket once it is set out everyone else doing the same as she sits next to Tori).
Chazz: (Brings the food to the blanket as Maru comes outside).
Kairi: Hi Maru, yay you decided to join us!
Jennifer: Yes and where is Luna? Will she not be joining us?
Maru: (Is still a bit shy but not as shy as before). H-hi everyone and I do not know if Luna will be.
Chazz: Well that is a shame and here I brought a bit more than usual just for our quests.
Maru: I-I am sorry about that.
Chazz: No, no Sir Maru. It is fine.
Kairi: There is plenty of food so dig in and sit anywhere you like. (Kura sits on one side of her and other side being free for anyone to sit there with Yami sitting on Kura's other side).
Maru: T-thank you.... (Walks towards Kairi to go sit by her).
Kairi: (Smiles at Maru as he sits). So what did you do while most of us were outside?
Maru: Just explored while Luna was calming down.
Kairi: Oh do you like it here? There are a lot of rooms so I am sorry if you got lost.
Maru: Not a problem, a-after a while I figured out where I was going and so far it is fun.
Chazz: Well I am glad to hear that.
Kura: You had mentioned that you wanted to see the forest as well, correct Lord Maru?
Jennifer: (Raises her eyebrows in interest). Really, well I can help with that.
Maru: No I-it's fine, I was just curious about it.
Hiki: Come on, don't be modest here.
Chazz: Hiki....
Jennifer: It really is fine. I can also ask animals to guide you through the paths if you wish.
Kairi: My sis can talk to animals.
Maru: (Looks surprised at Kairi's statement). Really but that would also explain the wolves.
Jennifer: Yes I can, I can also make plants bend and grow to my will and turn into animals myself. (As she says that a small vine grows near Maru's hand and starts to wrap around his hand).
Kairi: She has nature powers.
Shizen: Yes and I am her spirit Shizen.
Maru: (Gets shocked by the vine and falls on Kairi lap a deep blush falling upon him).
Hiki: Well then someone is more forward then expected.
Kairi: Umm are you alright? (Looks at Maru with concern).
Maru: I... Um... Yes I am fine.
Hiki: Any competition for Tori?
Tori: ... I'm not sure what you're talking about.
Kairi: As long as you're alright. You looked a little scared but that is what my sister's power does. It is really cool.
Maru: (Continues to lay there as he looks at Kairi and the vine on his hand). Yes it r-really does look cool.
Jennifer: I did not think you were the type to be so forward to lie in my sister's lap....
Kairi: Sis... And as long as you are comfortable Maru. I do not mind.
Maru: Well umm... T-thank you lady Kairi and Jennifer.
Hiki: Neither did I expect that.
Jennifer: Although not as forward as another. (Glares at Tori).
Kairi: Umm oh Chazz is human too and he has light and dark powers and his spirits are Hiki and Tori.
Hiki: Hello!
Tori: How do you do Lord Maru?
Maru: Oh yeah I saw you two yesterday at the ball.
Kairi: Yes they are very strong and have been teaching me how to use magic and spar and Kura has been teaching me how to make barriers and use dark power stuff.
Maru: ... Very nice, it is good to learn from others I guess.
Hiki: Yes Kairi has become my student in the ways of magic.
Tori: You know that sounds cheesy Hiki, right?
Hiki: ... Shush.
Kairi: (Laughs). Well you are a good teacher though earth seems easier.
Kura: What Lady Kairi is best at so far is her barriers. She has come a long way in a week.
Yami: Still sucks at combat though.
Hiki: Yami that was rude.
Maru: I-I think she will get better.
Yami: What its true for now. I'll say she's good at it when she is.
Kura: (Pulls on Yami's ear). What did I say about being polite?
Yami: Hey let go! (Pulls away and Kura lets go of him).
Kairi: I know I will get better and I will work hard so I can learn everything I can.
Maru: G-good luck Kairi.
Kairi: (Gives a determined look). I know I can do it. I know I do not have experience using a weapon before they got their powers like everyone else here but I think I can do it. I had my first sparring lesson today and it was hard but I will do better next time.
Maru: I-I could spar with you... Maybe.
Kairi: If you want to but I am not really good at attacking.
Jennifer: She still learning how to swing and stay balanced though she is better with blocking.
Maru: W-well I could use a practice sword. I-is that fine?
Kairi: If you want to but are you done eating?
Maru: I... Uh haven't eaten yet....
Kairi: Oh right I have not either... I forgot, We should start eating then unless you want to continue lying on my lap.
Maru: (Blushes and sits up). I will eat now.
Kura: (Passes out empty plates to everyone). There is plenty of food for everyone so take what you like. There are sandwiches, pasta and juices so help yourself if you would please.
Jennifer: (Her, Kairi and Shizen say when handed their plates). Thank you.
Yami: (Takes a plate once offered but there is a pause as if something is expected of him). Yeah... Thanks.
Shizen: Very good.
Yami: ... Quiet.
Hiki: Yay good foods time! (As her stomach growls).
Tori: Thank you very much.
Maru: T-thank you for the food.
Chazz: Not a problem, dig in everyone.
Jennifer: (Grabs mostly pasta and eats along with everyone else).
Kairi: Yum looks good, I think Luna is missing out.
Yami: Yeah I mean... No hard feelings.
Maru: (As he eats a sandwich). It is fine understand, Luna went too far.
Yami: Nah we both wanted a fight, but I meant sparring not like an actual fight though fighting is fun.
Maru: I think Luna took it as a actual fight... She has a temper sometimes.
Hiki: Maru you are speaking more fully now, good job.
Maru: (Blushes and ducks down).
Yami: (Laughs). Yeah I guess I have one too.
Kura: But Yami is not a bad person, he just is a little rude.
Yami: Hey!
Kairi: But Maru you are doing a good job opening up.
Maru: T-thank you very much and Luna just takes things in a serious way.
Yami: Yeah I'm not serious on that stuff. I mean she seemed to be the kind of person who enjoys sparring. (Shrugs).
Maru: Luna... Takes the safety of people serious as she is scared for something bad to happen to someone....
Kairi: I think that is a good thing. She likes to protect others. It is a good thing to have.
Shizen: (Raises her eyebrow in interest). Something bad? Like what for example?
Maru: W-well uh Luna never went into detail but she afraid of losing people she wants to protect.
Jennifer: I can respect that. Here we do whatever we can to protect each other. I mean that's how I became wounded 2 days ago... I wanted to protect everyone. (Looks down a little and then smiles).
Chazz: It is fine madam.
Hiki: Yes Jenny, you did all you could.
Jennifer: I know but at least I learned I can grow my arm back.
Shizen: Next time try it at full energy. It will take less time.
Jennifer: Yes... Wait next time!
Shizen: ... Is it something I said?
Maru: (Has a steady look on his face but it slowly changes to a look of shock and surprise). W-what do you mean i-it can grow back.
Kairi: (Looks surprised as well). You lost your arm!
Jennifer: ... Yes kind of like reptiles and plants grow limbs back... Shizen has all nature abilities since she is the first generation nature spirit.
Shizen: Now do not share that so easily.
Jennifer: ... Oops sorry.
Maru: One, Luna told me she was second.
Shizen: Ahh I see yes there are not many first generation spirits. I believe there is one for every element.
Kairi: And Tori had the first dark spirit as his teacher.
Maru: (Looks surprised but not as much as before). R-really?
Tori: Uhh yes he taught me everything I know.
Kairi: He sounds like he was really cool! Shizen how did you know him?
Shizen: We were very close friends. (Smiles to herself as she remembers).
Hiki: (Holds back the instinct to ask questions since a guest is with them).
Maru: Close friends? (As he thinks "could you be the person Luna talked about")?
Shizen: (Has a questioning look). Yes... What do you mean?
Maru: Oh nothing....
Shizen: No say what you were meaning to ask, what is it?
Maru: Well... Umm... Luna told me stories on how spirits get along and even from different elements.
Shizen: Yes they do, there are even breeds of spirits that were created by to different element spirits especially from 1st and some second generation spirits.
Jennifer: Really, how do they do that?
Shizen: (Laughs a little Jennifer making this mistake once again). Well when two spirits care about each other very much they-.
Jennifer: Alright that is enough, do not say the rest! (Blushes heavily).
Hiki: (Laughs).
Chazz: (Coughs to interrupt the train of thought).
Kairi: (A thought comes into her mind and smiles). Did you like Tori's teacher?
Shizen: (Look surprised but can barely see a slight blush). Well umm yes we were close friends.
Hiki: But that doesn't answer the question now does it?
Shizen: Hmm how do I put this... His wife and I had a good fight because of acts attempted with him. (Looks away as she remembers).
Jennifer: (Looks shocked as Kairi looks confused and Kura raises an eyebrow).
Hiki: (Gasps with shock Tori doing the same).
Shizen: (Scratches her cheek with a little nervous laugh). I told you sometimes that I had fights with the first light spirit... Well that is why....
Hiki: I'm just shocked you went so forward with it.
Tori: (Says nothing still being in shock).
Shizen: Yes one time I was chased out of the house as she tried to kill me... I ran through this little boys room through their window. Very adorable though I tried to not wake him... he had white hair... Huh.... (Looks at Tori realizing whose room it was).
Kura: Wait more than once?
Shizen: ... Yes....
Tori: (Looks at Shizen still being shocked but then remembers something).
Hiki: How many times did you two meet?
Shizen: (Starts to count on her fingers as she thinks, already having to reuse both hands since it had went over how many fingers she has).
Hiki: (Hits her head with her hand in shock). I think you're going to run out of fingers.
Shizen: Already have... Twice... Maybe five times over... We had been alive a long time. It is hard to keep track.
Jennifer: (Still speechless being in shock).
Yami: (Shrugs not really showing interest as he eats).
Kairi: (Still is confused to what is going on).
Shizen: Many of their children considered me as an aunt though.
Hiki: That's surprising really from how many times you were chased out.
Shizen: We still were great friends though since we both liked him once upon time and still teased him about it after those fights were settled but there was a time long ago we had our fights over him... She usually won since they truly loved and were meant for eachother looking back at them... Tori you have not said a word.
Tori: I'm just shocked by this really.
Shizen: You never had heard his wife screaming something like get out of here with some curses or anything like that... We still were close friends.
Tori: I think I did one night but I just ignored it.
Shizen: That was a wise choice then but I am surprised I had not realized you were that child. The white hair is proof enough, my memory is not what it was I suppose.
Tori: Yes Shizen....
Shizen: (Laughs). Well now you know that I suppose... I had some good times with both of them though. (Smiles and looks up as she remembers).
Tori: I heard many stories about the time you had though they didn't share names probably because of all those events.
Shizen: Yes probably from their kids since they knew me and thought of me as an aunt. So they said that I and a few others would look after them and make sure they were alright if anything were to happen to them... I guess that includes you as well Tori but you are on a good path so far.
Tori: Thank you for looking over me from time to time.
Shizen: Well you don't really need me to. Hiki does that well and you make a great team. I will only step in if your life is in danger.
Hiki: (Hugs Tori). Well of course, I have to watch over him. Who else is going to keep track of this silly guy.
Tori: Says the girl who acts sillier than I do.
Shizen: See you look after each other and it is adorable to see.
Jennifer: (Still look a bit shocked from what Shizen said before).
Chazz: Are you alright madam.
Hiki: Didn't shock you too much right?
Jennifer: Well I don't see how the wife forgive you so easily.
Shizen: don't worry; I made it up to her.
Hiki: How?
Shizen: Hmm... You already have heard enough I think.
Jennifer: ... I do not think I want to know.
Hiki: I'm kind of interested.
Maru: (Has the same look as Kairi not knowing what's going on).
Shizen: If you ask later then maybe but there are children nearby and they do not need to hear anymore.
Hiki: Alright I will ask later.
Shizen: Very well. (As everyone else finishes up as Yami still eats).
Kairi: Wow Yami you eat a lot.
Yami: (Shrugs). Always have.
Chazz: Only way to keep up energy.
Hiki: But you don't eat a lot master.
Chazz: Well... I... Um do not get that hungry.
Hiki: Whatever you say.
Jennifer: You should eat more.
Kura: I would think Yami eats so much because he is still a growing child.
Yami: (Shrugs being too busy eating). Uh not a little kid let's go with that.
Chazz: Umm yes milady. (Says with a giving up look on his face not trying to argue).
Jennifer: (Pouts). Do not give me that look, you will make me feel bad.
Kairi: (Laughs). So what are we doing after this, are we training again?
Jennifer: If you wish to but it is a slow day and if you want to go into the forest Maru let me know.
Kairi: Wait you have light powers so does that mean you and Luna go light speed like Hiki does?
Maru: Uhh yeah though I still am learning to handle the changes in speed.
Kairi: Oh alright, I wonder who would win in a race and if Hiki and Luna raced who would win that.
Hiki: I'm not sure I would like to find out but I don't think I will find out.
Kairi: Oh if you do not want to it is fine.
Jennifer: You do not have to race everyone.
Kairi: I know but it still is fun.
Hiki: No I want to; I just do not want to cause problems.
Maru: I think Luna will be alright with it if you ask later.
Hiki: I would appreciate that.
Kairi: I think I am going to work on making barriers while I sit here then.
Jennifer: Go ahead, is there anything we need to do for this afternoon?
Chazz: From what I can remember we do not have anything for you today. Just for lady Kairi, it is the day to spend with Maru since she chose him to stay the night.
Jennifer: Oh right,
Kairi: I hope you are enjoying your stay so far.
Maru: Y-yes I am very much.
Kairi: (Smiles happily). Good you can visit anytime you want.
Maru: Yes I may take you up on that.
Kairi: Good I hope so, you are nice and your opening up more which is great.
Maru: (Smiles at Kairi). Yes.
Luna: (Comes outside being noticed when she speaks up). Oh that's where you were master Maru, are you alright?
Maru: Y-yes Luna I'm fine.
Kairi: oh hi Luna.
Jennifer: oh hello.
Kura: (Narrows her eyes at Luna Jennifer doing the same but does her best to stay polite as well). We still have some food left over if you wish to eat.
Yami: (Stops eating then looks like he's not sure what to say so he looks away a little).
Luna: Hmm sure I will eat.
Kairi: Help yourself and sit anywhere you like.
Yami: (Sighs to himself and gets up walking over to Luna and everyone looks at Yami questioningly).
Luna: Yes may I help you?
Yami: (Hold his hand out to shake as he looks away feeling awkward). Look we got off to a bad start I guess... So um yeah.
Luna: (Laughs a little as she grabs Yami's hand). True we did act a bit childish. Our emotions got the better of us.
Yami: (Grins a little). Only stepped in then since I thought you would enjoy sparing. Didn't mean actual fighting like enemies or something.
Luna: Ahh my mistake, then I got ahead of myself.
Yami: Yeah it's cool. I kind of lost it to though I guess when you left... Guess I snapped at your master.
Luna: Oh did you now...? (Get a little bit of a scary look).
Maru: But it is fine Luna, no need to worry.
Luna: As you say master Maru.
Yami: Hey everything's cool... I mean not like anyone got hurt.
Kairi: Yes and as long as both of you can get along.
Luna: Fine, fine, I will forgive it if master Maru is alright with it.
Yami: Cool everything's good then. (Walks back to where he was sitting and eats again).
Kairi: I am glad that was worked out.
Jennifer: Yes now you two can start to get along hopefully but for now eat something before Yami eats it all.
Yami: Hey! (As his mouth is stuffed with food).
Luna: (Chuckles a little). Yes, yes I will eat a bit but are we sparing?
Maru: I-I think so.
Chazz: We will see what happens.
Yami: I'm always up for sparing so bring it.
Kairi: Oh can I spar with sis again? I want to get better at it.
Jennifer: I do not see the problem with that. (Turns to Luna). She just had her first sparing lesson right before lunch. She does not have experience with a weapon before she got her powers so she is learning now. She has come a long way in a week though.
Kairi: (Smiles brightly). Thank you.
Luna: Hmm I could teach her or do you wish for someone else?
Jennifer: (Looks a little surprised). I do not see a problem with that.
Kairi: I am better at blocking more than attacking though.
Luna: That is a very good trait to have but it is also nice to have a sense of attacking.
Kairi: I will learn all I can then.
Kura: If you need to use a barrier to block lady Kairi then do that if that feels easier. There are also ways to attack with one but it's mostly for blocking.
Kairi: Oh alright thank you.
Luna: Yes using a barrier to block is perfectly fine since it can make things easier.
Kairi: The barriers are just easier to use. I do not know why. (As she cups her hands over her cup of juice making a barrier of darkness appear around it, the cup looking like it is covered by a deep shadow).
Maru: Can I have some juice too?
Kairi: Of course! (Looks at the barrier trying to slowly move the barrier and move the juice with it but is a little wobbly slowly making it to Maru then having a proud look on her face afterwards).
Maru: (Smiles and drinks from the cup). Thank you Kairi.
Hiki: Ohh is there some feelings between the two of you hmm?
Maru: (Blushes). I... Umm....
Luna: (Laughs a little).
Kairi: (Blushes slightly but mostly pouts). Hey be nice to my guest.
Hiki: Yes, yes just had to get it out of my system.
Kairi: Still and Luna how good are you at combat stuff. You seem confident with it I think.
Luna: I specialize in combat, like I think your friend Tori does.
Tori: I uh wouldn't say that.
Kairi: Oh I see and Tori don't be modest. You are awesome at that combat stuff!
Tori: Well I'm not sure.
Luna: So do you want me to help you train or no?
Kairi: Oh... I would be honored! (Gets up and bows as she smiles brightly).
Luna: Well alright, let's go then.
Kairi: What do I do? (Walks away from everyone as she unsheathes her dagger looking a little nervous).
Luna: Well first try to calm down.
Kairi: Sorry.... (Takes a deep breath to calm down and she does).
Luna: Good you never want to go into a fight all tensed up.
Kairi: I think I'm calm now.... (Goes into a ready stance then makes sure she is balanced).
Luna: Alright then, should I use a real sword or a practice one hmm.
Maru: Umm practice sword please.
Kairi: R-real or umm I mean... I can block it... I can do it. (Looks shy but then determined).
Jennifer: (Looks a little worried). Umm I am not sure about that.
Luna: Alright I'll use a wooden sword so I won't injure you but it will sting if you get hit by it.
Kairi: I know I can block it but should I use a wooden knife?
Luna: No you will be fine.
Kairi: Alright. (Readies herself making sure she is balanced as everyone watches).
Jennifer: (Looks a little concerned being protective of Kairi).
Maru: Luna will be careful; she knows teaching is different than actual fighting.
Jennifer: I know it is just my instinct to worry about her.
Kairi: Alright I am ready.
Luna: Then let's see if you can block my first strike.
Kairi: I know I can do it! (Gives a determined look).
Luna: (Starts to walk towards Kairi getting ready to attack).
Kairi: (Steadies herself as she watches Luna closely readying her dagger to block).
Luna: (Strikes Kairi making sure to move slow enough to make it easy).
Kairi: (Brings her knife up just in time to block but filches as their weapons clash a little).
Luna: Well done, let me try again.
Kairi: (Nods as she concentrates on where to block).
Luna: (Strikes again but a little faster).
Kairi: (Is a little surprised but blocks quickly as she blocks barely). Eek!
Luna: Will you be alright for a second one right away?
Kairi: I will try. (Nods looking determined still as she tries to watch carefully and not flinch).
Luna: (Strikes again into Kairi's shoulder).
Kairi: (tries to block but is a second to slow on the second block and grabs her shoulder looking a little painful and disappointed). Oww... I'm sorry I missed.
Luna: It is fine Kairi you did well but yes you are fine at this for just beginning.
Kairi: Can I try again please? I know I can do it. (Readies herself again looking determined).
Luna: Are you sure Kairi?
Kairi: I can do it, I know I can!
Luna: If you are sure then here I come.
Kairi: (Nods as she watches Luna closely).
Luna: (Strikes again aiming at Kairi's arm).
Kairi: (Flinches a little her knife dropping in the first block but still puts her arms up to block on instinct and a barrier forms big enough to block Luna).
Luna: Well done with the barrier and sorry if that had hurt.
Kairi: It is alright, I am fine. I do not mind but I can block faster with the barrier so I panicked and I guess I used it.
Luna: and that is fine.
Kairi: Maybe you could go faster since I am using a barrier. Maybe I can do better.
Luna: If you say so.
Kairi: I can do it, I know I can! (Gives a determined look and nods).
Luna: (Strikes at Kairi once again).
Kairi: (Blocks Luna again with a barrier and then gets ready to block again, her speed noticeably increasing).
Luna: (Strikes again but with more speed).
Kairi: (As the strikes continue she starts to struggle to keep up becoming panicked a little but then she unintentionally starts absorbing darkness from a shadow nearby and then is able to keep Luna's pace once again).
Kura: (Her eyes widen knowing that, that ability is considered dangerous to know since most know it is the ability of Yami's and her's father).
Luna: (Stops for a second but recollects herself and strikes again but is a little stronger than before).
Kairi: (Starts to struggle with keeping the barrier solid with each hit as the strikes become stronger and one time the barrier cracking).
Luna: (Stops striking at Kairi). That's good for now.
Kairi: Oh... Did I do alright? (Lets down her hands catching her breath and the barrier fades and so does her taking of energy from the shadow).
Luna: Yes you are doing fine. You just need to keep up when someone strikes harder and become more and more.
Kairi: I will do better next time. (Smiles happily and bows then runs back to where everyone is sitting with a big smile).
Jennifer: You did much better.
Kairi: Thank you!
Luna: She has potential but she mustn't rely on that barrier too much because it can only take so much. If my weapon were real it would have broken by now.
Kura: If she works on it more it will have less chance of breaking easily. I will help her more with that since it is my specialty.
Luna: That will work for her greatly.
Yami: Yeah I'm supposed to help her combat skills but she's better at that support crap. (Kura glares at him slightly making him uncomfortable). ... Stuff.
Luna: Then why are you not trying to teach her. I think her own spirit would be more convenient since she needs to also attack.
Yami: (Shrugs). Just not really used to teaching I guess, takes too much patience.
Kura: Which he has none of.
Yami: Hey!
Hiki: (Laughs). It's kind of true since you really don't.
Tori: (Shakes his head yes). I was going to teach her before you came out but again thank you for the help.
Luna: (Bows). No need to thank me. It's the least I could do to make up for my behavior earlier.
Maru: (Smiles at Luna).
Jennifer: I am glad everyone is getting along then.
Yami: (Shrugs it off). Was no big deal.
Jennifer: But also Hiki is not the only light spirit anymore. It seems like there are a lot of dark spirits here, not a problem but it's a little more balanced.
Shizen: (Laughs being a little amused as she shakes her head). And then nature is randomly mixed in as well.
Chazz: (Chuckles a little). As it seems.
Hiki: Yay more light spirits though I am getting used to the dark ones.
Tori: I'm not sure how I feel being called that.
Shizen: (Laughs). It is fine, light needs dark to balance things out as well as the other way around. Hiki has enough light to balance this group out I would think, she has been doing a good job at that.
Hiki: (Smiles and says with confidence). I have so much light I could compete with the sun.
Kairi: Wow that is a lot!
Jennifer: ... I honestly do not know if that is an exaggeration or not because I have seen sometimes where you start glowing so bright you nearly blind me.
Hiki: (Laughs mischievously).
Chazz: That is too much Hiki but I do like your self confidence to say the lease.
Hiki: Thank you master. (She says with a big smile).
Jennifer: Well confidence is a good thing.
Yami: Especially in fighting or sparing. Makes it fun oh and Tori our last fight I'm counting as a tie. I would of won that, I was just holding back.
Tori: Ah huh whatever you say Yami.
Chazz: Though it could have been a close fight.
Yami: Was a good fight though, I expect a rematch.
Jennifer: For the, what is it 4th time?
Yami: Hey!
Tori: 4th, I thought it was the 5th so far or maybe 7th, I'm not sure.
Jennifer: (Laughs). Well it seems we lost track but I guess you are seen as a good competitor.
Yami: ... Yeah I guess.
Tori: A challenge arrives, I have to decide if their worth the effort.
Chazz: Now, now don't get too full of yourself.
Yami: Not cool dude. (Throws one of his throwing knives at Tori like usual).
Tori: Hey, hey you're worth my effort now aren't you or else we wouldn't be fighting.
Yami: ... Should have said that in the first place. (Looks away as he crosses his arms grumpily).
Tori: Thought that was a given in what I just said now isn't it?
Maru: That is nice to have a sense of rivalry I-I think.
Yami: Teah its fun.
Shizen: Yes it is but Luna I had heard you are a 2nd generation spirit. When not contracted or when you are, either or I suppose, are you a light guardian or is there something different that you do nowadays?
Luna: (Stares at Maru like to say "why master but alright I will forgive"). Now where did you hear that from and well yes I am a 2nd generation. You may say I am part of that group but I was more in the assault area. The guardians called us the heavens lancers or something like that. I was not to intrested in niknames.
Kura: Hmm it sounds familiar to me, I'm not sure why.
Shizen: It is like a group that was made for tracking down corrupted spirits, correct?
Luna: True that was part of our job but we mostly stayed around the guardians since true they should handle themselves but always liked a sparring buddy so that was most of our time after the spirit fights that broke out around us.
Shizen: Yes I hope things have gotten better since I was there, especially on the council they created. I was a part of it but... Needed a break to put it short.
Luna: I am aware of whom you are council member Shizen. You had played a part in the poison spirit genocide but not in the same way they had intended.
Shizen: (Narrows her eyes). I consider all nature spirits as my children. I will protect them with my life if I have to so you can imagine why I was strongly against it to put it lightly.
Luna: Don't get me wrong, I understood your view and your passion behind it but what I failed to understand is why you didn't try to get them out sooner.
Shizen: I... They told me that their decision was not made yet and they would go over it the next council meeting... Then I was kept there... A bit of a blindside I that still hold rage for. I had to be locked up but I escaped raging through the halls until I was in my nature territory and started evacuating as many as possible while fighting back... So after that I went into hiding and here I am now.
Luna: I can see that though you know the lancers play close attention to council members. You could have made a more discreet way of getting out. They are still trying to repair some of the damages done.
Shizen: Right... Never was the quiet type, always needed to make my presence known... I think I will be the first council member cast out. Then again I was always the rebel of the group. Even before then I pulled pranks on many in my younger days.
Luna: I am sure they could not cast you out since the nature spirits are not really saying anything to the council since you are the representative and leader. They can't even if they wanted to.
Shizen: (Smirks). I knew they wouldn't rat me out. Well once I return it looks like they will have to deal with me, too bad for them.
Luna: Well I think everyone is aware of how you acted and that's why the nature spirits are acting like this since they understand and respect your choices.
Shizen: Well they understand that I care about every one of them and will protect them no matter what and in return they have done that for me. I couldn't be prouder.
Luna: Yes, yes so the council would like you to visit at least to help with the current relation issues.
Shizen: And I will once poison spirits are able to come back to where they belong and live in peace.
Luna: Yes I think they are aware of that but for all the council knows they think they are all gone or not in the world anymore.
Shizen: Well if they do find out I will never say where they are. Even if tortured for centuries I will keep them safe.
Luna: yes council member, I would ask but then you wouldn't answer me anyway so it's fine.
Shizen: (Smirks more). Got that right, plus the nature spirits keep me informed enough if they are treated well and if not they will have another rampage on their hands.
Luna: (Sighs). Well no one wants that again. I don't want to see another huge tree monster attacking everyone.
Jennifer: Tree monster?
Shizen: Yes I can make plants move so why not make a giant moving tree. Plus I was using my rage ability so controlling myself became difficult, especially in my third form.
Jennifer: (Looks amazed). Wow I hope I get that good at my powers.
Shizen: Perhaps in time.
Chazz: Hopefully without the rage to say the least.
Luna: Yes it was a problem to deal with, even the fire spirits had a little trouble.
Shizen: If a spirit attacks that is your weakness you can still beat them. You just need to have more strength and especially cunning... Also I never liked the first fire spirit and he was always so hot headed.... (There is a slight moment where she looks down but she quickly brushes it away).
Hiki: Well it is in his name isn't it?
Luna: Yes council member Agni is a bit hot headed but then he became of more a darker mindset It has seemed lately.
Chazz: (Looks shocked by the name).
Shizen: Always jumping to the option that leads to war when peace can easily be reached and wanting to take charge of everything himself.... So power hungry but I am glad I am friends with the first water spirit. Mizuko can put him in his place.
Hiki: Did they have a steamy relationship? (Laughs at her own pun).
Chazz and Tori: Hiki....
Maru: (Stares at Hiki thinking what).
Shizen: (Shakes her head no with a small sigh). No nothing like that... He mainly avoided her since she could put him in his place though not often since she is a bit conservative and used to be shy.
Yami: ... Lame joke.
Luna: (Laugh a little). Yes you could say they did in a different way.
Shizen: I suppose.
Yami: (Looks a little bored). Still a lame joke.
Hiki: Grr Yami you just don't know good comedy.
Yami: What it was a terrible pun.
Hiki: (Falls onto Chazz as she starts fake crying). Wah master, Yami made fun of me and made me cry wah.
Chazz: There, there Hiki it was a good pun.
Yami: No not going to feel bad. I won't fall for it. (Crosses his arms and looks away stubbornly).
Tori: (Whispers to Yami). I think she just wanted to be held by master.
Hiki: (Still is on Chazz's lap as she pretends to be sad).
Yami: Yeah well it's working but still not apologizing though.
Tori: I don't think she cares if you do or not but master may. I'm not sure so just say it was kind of funny and she will be happy.
Yami: No way, I'm not saying it.
Kura: (Sighs hearing both Tori and Yami). So stubborn.
Tori: Very.
Hiki: (Pretends to cry again). Yami doesn't ever like me.
Yami: (Becomes irritated feeling picked on). Hey quit it, you're making me look bad!
Hiki: Wah now he is yelling at me and I'm just a girl.
Yami: Stop it not my fault your jokes are lame!
Hiki: Still rude but he's a nice guy too so he needs to pick one.
Yami: No I don't and who needs manners. There not that important.
Hiki: (Continues to pretend to cry).
Luna: Now don't make girls cry.
Yami: What did I do? I mean not even real tears so come on toughen up.
Hiki: (Hides her face as Chazz pets her head).
Yami: Come on I'm not apologizing so stop the act.
Hiki: Am I kind of funny at least?
Yami: Not when you make lame puns....
Hiki: Then you're mean to girls wah!
Yami: (Becomes frustrated taken some darkness slightly). Stop it! ... Fine Sorry!
Hiki: Alright....
Yami: Thanks.
Jennifer: Good job, you said a thanks at least. It is progress.
Yami: ... Quiet.
Luna: Very nice but still is not nice to be rude to girls.
Yami: Oh come on I was just telling her the joke was lame. How's the rude?
Luna: Just the way you said it and how you did not even lie to make her feel better.
Yami: I'm not going to lie if you stink at something. I'm telling you.
Luna: Still not a very nice thing to do.
Hiki: No it's fine Luna really.
Yami: Hey how is telling the truth not nice. You want me to lie?
Hiki: No it isn't good to lie but it's also not good to try to start a fight about it either.
Yami: I'm not trying to. (Takes energy slightly for a moment but Luna notices).
Kura: (She pats Yami on the shoulder making him realizing it).
Luna: (Says in a whisper). I see... Very interesting.
Yami: Yeah... Just don't like lying... Sorry....
Hiki: (Sits up with a little bit of a sign that she was tearing up a bit). Its fine at least you are honest.
Yami: (looks at Hiki, his eyes widening then looks away whispering but people around him hearing him including Hiki). Your actually crying... Sorry....
Hiki: (Wipes her eyes a little). Before more fighting happens let's be happy, alright everyone?
Chazz: Yes Hiki.
Yami: Yeah only sparing... No fighting aloud, got it.
Kairi: Right everyone needs to enjoy themselves today.
Hiki: Master is it alright if I rest on your lap for a little bit more?
Chazz: Of course Hiki, you may rest.
Hiki: Thank you master. (Goes back to laying down on Chazz).
Jennifer: (Smiles at Hiki and Chazz thinking how cute).
Kairi: I guess it's just a day to relax then.
Yami: Sounds good to me. (Falls backwards and lies back on the blanket).
Hiki: Rest is good.
Tori: Well I could train for a bit more. Anyone want to join me?
Luna: I could train with you.
Tori: I umm don't feel like getting injured.
Luna: (Chuckles a little). Whatever you say.
Yami: I'll train with you, I'm not scared. (Sits up a little but lazily).
Kura: (Looks concerned not liking the idea).
Tori: No we sparred already. We don't need another overload so you relax, maybe I will practice by the trees with my seals.
Luna: Sealing arts?
Tori: Yes I can use sealing magic.
Shizen: He is very skilled with seals; with one he even blocked my second form.
Tori: No just locked off your magic for a bit since it wouldn't be strong enough to seal it completely.
Luna: Maybe but the fact you even did it for a bit is amazing in its own way. May I ask why you chose that magic type?
Tori: Well I'm not that sure myself.
Shizen: I do know that was a skill your teacher liked to use along with his wife so perhaps you were inspired and wanted to follow his favorite skills.
Kura: I have always found seals interesting though only learned the skills to break seals mainly.
Tori: Maybe and breaking seals simple seals are easy but trying to make them and keep them in control is the harder part because if you let off even for a second the seal gets weaker.
Kura: I have made weak seals before so I know a little but if you could teach me I would be in your debt Sir Tori. (Bows to Tori as she sits, slightly being able to see the cleavage of her shirt a little as she bows unintentionally him quickly looking away).
Tori: I... Umm... Umm sure I can teach a little.
Kura: Thank you, I appreciate it. (Gives a small amused smile to Tori's flustered expression).
Yami: Yeah while you do that I guess I'll train on my own. (Gets up and starts to walk away).
Kairi: Alright Yami.
Tori: No problem, I'm happy to help.
Kura: (Looks at Yami as he continues to walk away and she stares at him knowing he is going to absorb more dark energy deep in the forest. Knowing he had not absorbed enough from going through that release of power).
Tori: Kura shall we get going?
Kura: Oh yes of course Sir Tori. (Gets up and follows Tori but every few seconds looks at Yami as he walks away).
Luna: Well I can train with you Yami if you want to.
Yami: ... If you want but I won't back down from a challenge if were sparring.
Kura: (Stops in her tracks turning to watch Yami and Luna carefully not following Tori anymore).
Luna: Do you wish to spar?
Yami: (Shrugs). Only training I really think is for 2 people so I thought that is what you meant.
Luna: Well what do you want to do?
Yami: (Shrugs again). Doesn't matter, I mean you look like a challenge and I'm always up for that.
Luna: As you wish then.
Yami: (Grins). Bring it.
Kura: (Watches carefully and talks to herself only Tori hearing her). Idiot.
Maru: Ih Luna....
Luna: Don't worry master, Maru I'll back soon.
Tori: (Looks unsure of what is going to happen after hearing Kura). I'm sure this is not going to be good.
Kura: Do you recall him absorbing darkness to get his strength up? Yes we gave him some but only enough for him to be able to wake up.
Tori: Should we stop him?
Kura: I'm not sure, that could cause suspicion for him more but it is not even close to full strength which worries me more making it easier for him to take energy.
Tori: Well than what do you wish to do?
Kura: I am not sure, if something bad does happen one of us should step in so let's not leave or you may go but I am staying.
Tori: No I have to teach you sealing so I am going to teach you a bit of sealing while we watch.
Kura: Very well Sir Tori but I will be keeping a eye on Yami as you teach me, my apologies if I am to distracted at the moment. (Bows to Tori).
Tori: No worries it will be just some normal seals that you will probably get the hang of quickly. (Bows back to Kura).
Kura: I will listen to the best of my ability.
Tori: Yes well with seals you aim to make a certain thing happen or have it restrict and energy flow as it is the base idea of seals. Knowing the flow of energy is key to focus on as a start.
Yami: (Meanwhile as he stands facing Luna). Yeah so you seem pretty strong so this should be fun.
Luna: Yes it shall be Yami.
Yami: (Grins as he readies himself pulling out two knives). Bring it if you're that confident but don't be so sure you'll win.
Luna: (Brings out her fencer sword and readies herself).
Yami: Since you're a girl I guess you attack first so go ahead. Was told its polite to do that anyways. (Watches Luna carefully).
Luna: You may regret that very much.
Yami: Whatever bring it!
Luna: (With that warning she charges in a beam of light).
Yami: (Her eyes widen being surprised by the speed and the streak of light seeming familiar as he barely dodges throwing a throwing dagger).
Luna: (Charges again after turning around completely to come back).
Yami: (Charges as well as they clash and it becomes a struggle of overpowering the other). Not bad.
Luna: Not bad yourself. (Stops the stream of light and just takes a sword fighting stance with the blade).
Yami: (Steps forward striking at Luna the other knife ready to block).
Luna: (Blocks the attack and knocks the dagger out of Yami's hand as she aims to strike him).
Yami: (Steps back barely able to dodge backwards and steps to the side as he strikes with the knife he still has).
Luna: (Blocks his attack and keeps the same pose she had started with).
Yami: (Strikes again putting all his strength into his swings but realizes quickly he had never fully regained his strength and with every strike he feels the impact that is making more and more).
Luna: (Kicks Yami down after blocking his attack).
Yami: (Gets up as quickly in a jump up striking back then going into his true kid form and striking low but a little out of breath as he backs up).
Luna: Out of energy are we?
Yami: (Smiles and laughs a little but still looks weaker then when they started as he readies himself again). Me? Nah just warming up.
Luna: Whatever you say Mr. Yami. (Charges in again and gets behind Yami as she readies her blade against his back).
Yami: (Dodges the blade to his back and then charges as well clashing with Luna but slowly is being pushed back, though he tries to push Luna back but he cannot).
Luna: (Charges again with the idea that she can overpower Yami).
Yami: (Tries to match Luna's strength but his remaining energy is not enough and he struggles and begins to get frustrated with himself for not being strong enough).
Luna: (Strikes again at Yami trying to make him mad so she can gain an advantage).
Yami: (As he is pushed back he is almost backed into a tree becoming angry that he looks weak. After a few more strikes his control lessens and he starts to absorb a lot of darkness as if his body had gone through withdrawal as with 1 strike he pushes Luna back quite a bit, no longer being almost against the tree). I'm not weak!
Kura: (She, Kairi and Tori notice first Kura turning immediately to see what has happened).
Tori: Should we go in?
Kura: Stay here, I will go. (Runs off quickly towards Yami).
Kairi: (Runs towards Yami as well). Yami!
Yami: (Faces Luna looking stronger than before as he absorbs power not noticing the power taken). ... I'm... Not weak.
Luna: Ohh nice trick there, now let's turn it up a notch. (As she says this, a light aura surrounds her to power up her strikes and speed as she readies her next attack).
Tori: Kura come back!
Kairi: (Tackles Yami in a hug as he looks surprised). Yami, stop!
Kura: (Stands next to Yami with her hand on his shoulder).
Yami: What are you doing!
Kura: Just calm down....
Yami: (Looks confused but then realizes he's taking a lot of darkness energy and tries to calm himself down). Oh I see....
Luna: Are we done then Mr. Yami?
Yami: Yeah... Sorry... Lost myself for a second.... (Looks down and away).
Kairi: It is alright Yami.
Yami: Yeah... Why are you over here?
Kairi: Yes we are here to calm you down. (Still hugs Yami not letting go).
Luna: Well you are strong physically but mentally you are easy to upset, that will be your downfall. (Thinks to herself "I have to keep an eye on him").
Yami: Yeah I'm working on it but thanks for the fight anyways, it was fun.
Luna: It was an experience to say the least.
Maru: (Walks over to stand next to Kairi). Are you a-alright Yami?
Yami: Yeah just a anger stuff I have, don't worry about it.
Kairi: I just came over to calm Yami down.
Kura: Yes as did I, he has a... Just a issue with anger and temper tantrums being a young spirit.
Yami: Hey!
Maru: A-as long as no one was injured. (Looks at Luna with a worried look). Are you also alright Luna?
Luna: Yes I am fine master Maru but thank you for your concern. (She makes her sword disappear as she throws it into the sky).
Yami: (Sheaths his knife then goes to pick up his other knife he had dropped doing the same). Yeah was getting interesting though, I'll admit that.
Kura: Yes but no need for that.
Luna: Fair enough, very interesting indeed.
Yami: Ehh don't think too much on it... Kura's right I'm really just trying to let go of stuff... Life was hard and here it is starting to feel like I have a family again.... (Looks away and smiles to himself).
Kura: (Has trouble keeping her feelings inside but manages barely as Kairi still hugs Yami).
Luna: A family huh, they are always great to relay on since they are there to pull you back if you go too far out.
Chazz: Yes family is nice. It is never good to be alone.
Hiki: (Goes to stand by Kura's side since she knows she is holding everything back).
Yami: Yeah... I guess you are... Thanks for keeping me in line I guess.
Kairi: No problem, at least you are admitting were family finally.
Hiki: Its progress to say the least.
Yami: Yeah, yeah don't rub it in.
Kura: (Looks at Hiki a with small smile as she whispers). I'm fine, you may go back. I can manage.
Hiki: No I'm staying here.
Kura: ... As you wish. (Smiles then regains her composer). Are we done here then?
Yami: (Shrugs). I think so.
Luna: It was a fair spar but sorry for interrupt your lesson Tori. (Bows to Tori).
Tori: Oh um no worries, I can just teach Kura later.
Kura: Yes my apologies as well for running off. (Bows to Tori).
Kairi: I ran to but I needed to hug Yami.
Hiki: Well Kairi you are fine just be more careful when running into a fight, sparring or not.
Tori: And it is fine Kura, we can finish later.
Kairi: Alright but if someone needs a hug I'm going to try my best to get to them.
Yami: (Laughs). Pretty sure she's not lying.
Kairi: Nope.
Chazz: (Laughs as well). More than likely is not. She does like giving hugs.
Kairi: They make people feel better and take less energy form stuff.
Jennifer: (Face palms as Chazz, Hiki, Kura and Shizen do the same).
Luna: I can see that.
Yami: (Nervously laughs). Yeah not really a big deal though.
Kairi: ... Oops I said something bad didn't I?
Hiki: (Face palms again). Just think before you talk next time alright?
Kairi: Sorry.
Jennifer: She is not very good at that.
Yami: Yeah thanks a lot.
Luna: Ohh it was a big deal then huh? I wonder if that was it maybe or I'm not sure.
Yami: N-no not a big deal.
Kura: He just had a temper tantrum Miss Luna. (Stares at Luna being protective of Yami).
Luna: Yes a temper but also a very protective partner if I say so, though there's nothing wrong with that since you have to trust each other in order to work together. (Stares back at Kura).
Kura: (Her eyes widen but then she regains her composure continuing to stare looking serious). Yes he is my team member so it is my responsibility to look after him.
Yami: (Looks confused but then annoyed). You don't have to. I can look after myself so stop protecting me.
Kura: (Says nothing to keep her feelings inside).
Luna: No you can't say that Yami as one day you will need to lean on her and Kura I wouldn't say you are a team now. Your how should I say, fighters fighting for the same thing. The safety and protection of your master.
Kura: I am merely a support spirit and make barriers so I am lady Kairi's shield but also will look after Yami the same way.
Yami: I don't need to, I can fight for them. I don't need it. (Takes energy from everything around him including dark spirits around him like Tori).
Kura: (Puts a hand on Yami's shoulder to make him calm down and he does so after a few breaths).
Yami: ... Sorry.
Luna: Oh go ahead and think like that and you will fall on your face one day.
Maru: Luna... Do not go too far again.
Luna: I know master Maru, I apologize.
Kura: It is fine, his past may be lonely but he is learning how to not be.
Yami: (Sighs and looks away). Yeah... What she said....
Luna: If you can grow from the past then you can become stronger.
Yami: Yeah... I guess.
Kairi: (Frowns and hugs Yami again).
Yami: Yeah, yeah I'm fine.
Hiki: yes, yes all of the hugs for Yami.
Hiki: They are nice aren't they?
Chazz: They really can be.
Maru: (Shakes his head in agreeance).
Kairi: Right! (Nods happily).
Jennifer: Shall we settle down again then?
Kairi: But I want to train more.
Kura: We can teach you lady Kairi.
Yami: Yeah I'll try not to give up teaching if you improve more.
Kairi: Right I will do my best! (Gives another determined look).
Tori: Well it would be a good change of teachers so I'm alright with it.
Hiki: As am I.
Kairi: (Hugs Tori before she sets out to leave). Alright see you later and Maru. We can hang out afterwards and do whatever you want. I could even show you around the place a little more. (Hugs Maru as she continues to smile happily).
Maru: (Blushes as the hug ends). I-I... Umm would like that very much.
Kairi: Great I even know some paths in the forest so we can walk through there and don't worry about the animals. Even the bears are nice.
Jennifer: Fine but you know the rules, no matter what one of our servants need to stay by you two.
Kairi: I know but still it will be fun and bye everyone! (Waves as she walks away from everyone and everyone waves back as she talks to Kura and Yami once out of earshot). What are we doing for training?
Kura: I could help you with your magic and barriers while Yami can help you learn sparring moves.
Yami: Yeah I'll do what I can.
Kairi: alright! (She makes it to the other side of the building and her and Kura help Kairi make her barrier stronger).
Kura: Yami why don't you absorb energy while we are away from everyone.
Yami: Why, won't I absorb from you?
Kura: It is fine... I will not be affected as much as Tori.
Yami: (Gives a confused look). Huh why not?
Kura: ... It's because I am learning how to counter it.
Yami: ... Whatever you say I guess but tell me if you get too weak. (Sits down and relaxes as he starts to absorb energy).
Kairi: Oh Yami can you make your eyes change like before. I really like how it looks.
Kura: I am not sure that is a good idea.
Kairi: Why not?
Kura: It is easy to tell who he looks like if he does.
Kairi: But we are not around anyone right now.
Yami: ... Eh sure whatever but only for a little bit. (Closes his eyes and then when he opens them, his eyes have changed to black and red).
Kairi: Yay!
Kura: Just be careful.
Yami: Yeah, yeah I will. (Goes back to relax as he lays back with his eyes closed as he takes energy).
Kairi: (Works on her barrier with Kura making it stronger then she tries to add different elements to the barrier as Yami decides to watch sitting up and smiling a little).
