Chapter 6

The next morning Jennifer wakes up before Chazz getting ready for the day as usual.  She then looks in the mirror noticing something different and that is that she has wolf ears and tail freaking out meanwhile Chazz waiting by her door.

Jennifer: (Hears something on the other side of the door ears changing to rabbit ears).  Who is there!

Chazz: Just me madam, is everything alright?   You seem to be making more of a ruckus this morning than normally.

Jennifer: Why won’t it stop!  (Ears change again her mood changing to that of the animal’s instinct she turns into every time).

Chazz: Just relax and ask Shizen.

Jennifer: Fine give me a moment!  (Sits down).

Shizen: (Is sitting on the end of Jennifer’s bed as a big grey furred wolf and deep green eyes.  He voice is just how she remembers in her mind).  You know I have been here the whole time, right child?

Jennifer: (Is so surprised by Shizen on the end of her bed she falls off the bed when she stumbles backwards).  Gah!

Chazz: Hello Shizen.  How are you?

Shizen: Hello, very well as for the ears that will fade as you get used to the extra energy.

Jennifer: Alright… So, I can turn into an animal anytime without using your name?

Shizen: Correct but only at the speed of a normal animal.

Jennifer: Woah… Without a name I can really do that….  (Looks at her hands and tries to concentrate until they glow green looking amazed as her hands change to different animals’ paws).  Woah….

Chazz: It appears so.

Jennifer: Now I just need to figure this out next time I train… How do I control it though it seems difficult?  (Gives a confused look as she tries to make her rabbit ears go away).

Shizen: I do think that me being out here makes it a little harder to control so I will help you inside of your mind until you are more used to it.  Do you remember fighting yourself?  You learned very important skills from that, and you should practice with your butler her.  (Looks at Chazz).  Do not hold back when that happens but not too soon.

Kairi: (Comes into the room with plenty of excited energy).  Hi sis!  Are you feeling better?  Oh, cool ears you should keep them like the!  Wow big wolfy… Oh and Chazz can you train me now?

Chazz: Uh oh….

Jennifer: Umm… Chazz what happened while I was asleep?

Chazz: Well… You see milady, young madam stumbled upon yesterday’s events and saw everything that had occurred and now she wishes to learn how to use energy as well.

Jennifer: (Freezes in shock for quite a few moments at the least).

Kairi: So, are we going then?  Oh, let’s go out the window!  I have seen you do that and not get hurt.

Chazz: Madam we are going out the front door.

Kairi: (Smiles brightly with a anxious nod).  Oh, alright then!

Jennifer: (She blurts out franticly). She cannot please, she is too young to learn!

Kairi: But you looked so cool yesterday!

Chazz: I cannot deny the orders from either of my masters as you know Madam Jennifer.

Jennifer: I cannot stand the thought of her getting hurt but you can teach her basic weapons training with the things I got for her… That is, it.

Chazz: As you wish.

Jennifer: I have a few things to get done so I will catch up with you… I will not be too long.

Kairi: Yay!

Chazz: Let us go milady

Kairi: (Grabs Chazz pulling him along as she skips happily).   Then hurry up already!

Chazz: (Sighs as he is dragged along).  Yes, yes.

Jennifer: (Laughs at Kairi’s eagerness but then looks down in worry).

Kairi: (Pulls Chazz along until they get outside and is not sure where to go after that).

Chazz: We will be going in the backyard for today.

Kairi: But then I will get in trouble.  How about in that place in the woods or somewhere like it?

Chazz: It would be better for seclusion where I have in mind.

Kairi: (Tilts her head to the side looking confused).  Seclusion?

Chazz: In secret.

Kairi: Ohh alright let’s go then.

Chazz: As you wish.

Kairi: (Soon arrives looking around the backyard curiously.  They are under one of the big patios which are shaded so they are not as noticed.  There are some weapons on shelves of all types but all wooden practice versions).

Chazz: This is where you will train.

Kairi: So, do I start with what my sister was doing?  (Sits down like Jennifer was the day before as she looks up at Chazz curiously).

Chazz: No, no, first let us figure out what weapon you are alright with.

Kairi: How do I know which one to pick?

Chazz: Try them all, they are all wooden for practice.

Kairi: (Looks at all the weapons in wonder picking up a sword and looking at it in wonder).

Chazz: How do you feel about the sword?

Kairi: It looks cool but….  (Her eyes wander to a dagger placed on the end of the shelf).

Chazz: Hmm?

Kairi: (Grabs a wooden dagger holding it but it turns black as she holds it, her eyes widening).

Chazz: Hmm interesting.

Kairi: What does that mean?

Chazz: I believe it means that is your weapon to use or it is the opposite… I am unsure.

Kairi: So, do I try it out?  (Starts swinging the dagger in the air a little wildly and clumsily).

Chazz: Let us keep looking.  I feel we should look at other things first.

Kairi: (Keeps hold of the dagger).  Alright, what else should I look at?

Chazz: Everything you have not looked at.  Another weapon that will react with a color.  what the color means, I am unsure.

Kairi: Alright.  (Randomly starts picks up every weapon she sees.  She finds a set of throwing daggers turning black as well).  Ooh another one!

Chazz: (Goes over to Kairi looking interested).  Hmm?

Kairi: (Sets the throwing daggers with the dagger from before then looks around more nothing turning a different color, but her eyes wander to Tori in sword form).

Chazz: What is it milady?

Kairi: (Stares at Tori for a moment then reaches for the sword).

Chazz: No, you cannot take Tori.

Kairi: (grabs sword anyways staring down at it like entranced in curiosity).

Chazz: Umm madam?

Kairi: (Shadowy looking streams like dark smoke come from the sword and go towards Kairi to be absorbed).

Chazz: Tori release.

Kairi: (Looks at Tori confused as she snaps out of it).  What was that?

Chazz: I guess you match the same element as Tori which is darkness…. Which I find unusual.

Kairi: (Gives an even more confused look).  Why is that?  Is that not normal?

Chazz: You do not seem like the kind of person to have that element.

Kairi: Should I get a different one?

Chazz: You cannot change it, it is set.

Kairi: Oh, um so what do I do now?  Do I hit stuff?

Chazz: Not yet but give me back my sword please.

Kairi: Oh, right sorry… oh is Tori in there?  Hi Tori, nice to see you again!  I hope I did not hurt you.  (Hands Tori to Chazz a little energy drained from him though).

Chazz: Alright we will start with the dagger.

Kairi: (Runs over to get the dagger then comes back looking at Chazz with a cheerful smile).

Chazz: Now practice swordplay but try to control the movements.

Kairi: (Nods then swings the dagger clumsily but then pauses thinking suddenly putting a hand on Tori.  Her attack movements slightly improving then after a bit stops).  Am I doing alright… Oh sorry I did not realize I was grabbing Tori again.  (Let’s go of Tori).

Chazz: Yes, you are doing fine just try to follow a rhythm in your movements.

Kairi: (Stares blankly at Chazz confused).

Jennifer: Is everything alright here?

Kairi: Yay sis!  (Tackles Jennifer with a hug).

Chazz: Milady do you want to teach her?

Jennifer: Very well what weapon did she choose or should I say what weapon chose her.

Chazz: A dagger first.

Jennifer: A dagger hmm alright….  (Looks at the dagger in Kairi’s hand).  Why is it black?  I remember buying a plane wooden one.

Chazz: Apparently, she has the same as me but is solely darkness.

Jennifer: (Looks in shock at Kairi as she smiles cheerfully then Chazz several times). … Really?

Chazz: Yes, I couldn’t believe it myself but Tori’s darkness reacted so we knew for sure.

Jennifer: Umm that is ahh… Alright honestly, she’s the most cheerful girl I’ve ever met!  That makes no sense I am completely baffled… Tori any thoughts on this.

Tori: (Goes out of his sword form with his arms crossed as he leans against the wall).  It was destined to happen though her element is surprising really.  I expected something like earth but the fact she reacted to my darkness was… Much different than what I first thought.

Kairi: (Wanders away and goes to sit).

Jennifer: Huh it is strange… Hmm where did she go?  (Sees Kairi sitting like Jennifer did right before fighting herself looking determined).  Sis do not that!

Kairi: Aww why not I want to meet the people in my head too.  (Looks to Chazz with a begging face).

Chazz: No, you are not ready for that.

Kairi: (Pouts).  Why not.  Can’t I at least try?  I thought trying new things was good.

Jennifer: I said that about food and I am not even sure you would be able to meditate like that.  You are always fidgeting when meditating normally.

Chazz: Just do not do it again.

Kairi: Aww why not, Chazz please?  (Puts on a begging face once again).

Chazz: You are not doing it and you will not.  That is final.

Kairi: Fine but when?

Jennifer: When you are my age.

Kairi: But that is forever.

Jennifer: no, it is not at all.

Chazz: Too bad, you will have to wait.

Kairi: (Pouts).  Fine, so what can I learn now?

Chazz: Weapon handling.

Jennifer: (Grows dog ears and tail, chasing her tail once she notices it).  Not again!  (Her sister laughs, and she glares at her when she does).

Chazz: (Looks at Jennifer with an amused smile).  Hmm?

Jennifer: What you are laughing to, let us fight then I got this!  (Chases her own tail the entire time).  Why can’t I get this thing!

Chazz: Hmm milady if you are not going to focus then please leave.

Jennifer: But I can help with stuff!

Shizen: (Appears standing beside Jennifer).  I am sorry, she will be like this for a few days.  It will slowly fade but not completely.  If your emotions get the best of you, I suggest you meditating again.  That may help as for the girl wanting to train so early at such a high level, I agree that is not possible but why do you want to learn so badly something that could harm you?

Kairi: Whoa big wolfy again….  (Looks amazed and then remembers to answer Shizen’s question).  I don’t know… I just do not see why it’s a big deal and I want to protect people too and I talk to myself a lot so couldn’t I just chat with that other me and be friends?

Shizen: (Laughs a little shaking her head).  So, innocent.

Chazz: (Laughs as well).  So unknowing.

Shizen: Something about it makes you smile but on another note child I suggest you leave.  I will take over for you… She is gone… Oh never mind she is chasing a squirrel.

Chazz: Hiki do you want to help Shizen with milady?

Hiki: (Goes out of her sword for jumping energetically with a big smile).  Of course!  I would not mind helping Jenny!

Chazz: Tori since dark is your specialty do you mind helping us with young madam’s training?

Kairi: Yay the Tori is helping!

Shizen: It should make sense she would along with Tori.  Come on then Hiki, we have a child to catch.  (Walks away with a small laugh).

Hiki: Yes!  (Runs at the speed of light).

Chazz: Alright Tori come on then.

Kairi: (looks at Tori and runs towards him with a big smile as she waves at him).  Hi Tori!

Tori: (Waves back with a smile).  Yo.

Kairi: So, what do I do now?

Chazz: Well, let us begin by doing weapon training first off.

Kairi: Alright, am I going against someone?

Chazz: No, you are not.

Kairi: (Pouts a little).  Aww alright then.

Chazz: You can attack this shadow dummy we have set up.

Kairi: Alright!  (Throws the dagger at the dummy and it hits it in the head then stares at Chazz unintentionally absorbing Tori’s power again making the training easier clearly).  Now what?

Chazz: Well then if you are so eager for battle practice Tori release all shadow energy to your blade form.  Become my blades.

Tori: Yes sir.

Chazz: (His normal light and dark sword becomes pure darkness, Hiki not being affected).

Kairi: Alright so what do?  Do I just attack or are you attacking?

Chazz: You can attack first if you want but I would not get so close if I were you.  (Sits down and closes his eyes).

Kairi: (Gives a confused look).  Umm alright?

Chazz: (Sits with Tori ready).

Kairi: (Comes at Chazz with her dagger with curiosity but is stopped by an unknown barrier around him feeling the barrier tilting her head in confusion).

Chazz: If you cannot see the barrier then you cannot get battle practice yet.

Kairi: (Closes her eyes feeling the barrier).  Hmm this is made with darkness stuff, right?

Chazz: Not completely.

Kairi: Then what is it?

Chazz: It is the element mixed with your own energy as well.   Your energy is the spiritual power within yourself, you manifest it to do certain things though it depends on you on how to use it.

Kairi: What is it used for?

Chazz: Well energy is supposed to take practice to do it.  There are different areas, one used to enhance both offense and defense, two can create or manipulate items to your will, three can create a barrier with your element.  Can you feel the darkness around me?

Kairi: Yes, but I still cannot see a barrier.

Chazz: Well then you are on track.

Kairi: (Pushes on the barrier).  Hmm… How do I get past?

Chazz: When you can strike and break it.

Kairi: Oh alright!  (Grabs knife striking the barrier only to get blown backward on her butt).  ow!

Chazz: This is a weak barrier.  I will not continue your training until you break it.  I will teach you weapon handling and power harnessing but after that nothing else.

Kairi: Hey I am not weak.  (Frustrated striking the barrier again getting her arm through but nothing else.  Something seems slightly off with Kairi’s personality not usually acting out like this).

Chazz: Hmm you got your arm through but that is not the idea.  Breaking it is the goal, Tori release the barrier.

Tori: Yes sir.  (Lets down the barrier).

Kairi: No, I can do this… I want to help protect too.  (Gets upset tears forming in her eyes).

Chazz: No, you are just starting.  I never said it would be easy.  It takes effort and determination to get to where your sister is.

Kairi: Oh… Alright well if I get there soon.  I want to keep up with you guys I am already fast, but I am not very strong.

Chazz: You will get there madam.

Kairi: Ooh maybe we can have a race one day.

Chazz: As you wish milady.

Kairi: I do not know why I like to run but it is like when I run something in me tells me to run faster and I just do.

Chazz: Well, there is a start.

Kairi: Really?

Chazz: It is the start of you discovering your abilities.

Kairi: Oh, cool so should I listen more?

Chazz: It would help.

Kairi: Alright so what do I do now?  (Still absorbs darkness from Tori but she does not realize she is doing so).

Chazz: First try to cut off your dark absorption from Tori please.

Kairi: (Gives a confused look).  The what?

Chazz: You are draining darkness from Tori, and it is affecting us both.

Kairi: (Looks worried).  Oh, I am sorry.  Am I hurting you?

Chazz: (He about to say it is alright milady just try to be careful, but he falls down unconscious as he mumbles it).

Kairi: Oh no!  Chazz are you alright Tori what do I do!  (Turns to Tori but he falls more shadow as well from both of them being absorbed the more she freaks out).

Hiki: (Notices and runs over).  Drop the dagger now!

Kairi: (Drops to her knees crying).  I am sorry!  I did not mean to!

Jennifer: (She and Shizen come quickly afterwards hearing something go wrong).  What is going on!

Hiki: Kairi has been absorbing darkness from master this entire time and is killing him slowly!

Kairi: (Cries hysterically).  No, I didn’t mean to!

Shizen: This power… It is very familiar….  (Thinks for a second then gets out of her train of thought to come up with an idea).  We need to calm her down.  The more she freaks out the faster she absorbs.

Jennifer: Right, I will try calming her.

Hiki: Please do!  (As she holds Chazz lightening the burden).

Jennifer: I will do my best….  (Walks over to her sister with Shizen kneeling in front of her).  Sis… Please calm down… If you do you can stop hurting them.

Kairi: (Continues to cry).  But I am hurting him… I hurt a person… Am I a bad person?

Jennifer: (Hugs Kairi comfortingly).  No, you are a sweet girl who just must learn to control now please calm down… It is not your fault.

Shizen: How much darkness is left in Tori?  It may not be enough for her to calm down in time.  Either we run her away, but the problem will come back once she returns, or she goes by Hiki only long enough for Tori to get his power back then pull her away… Or she can meditate… And find her spirit causing this ability.

Chazz: (Wakes up a little bit with a struggle).  … Young madam it is alright… Now just focus on keeping it inside you….  Like a secret you do not want to share it or steal it just for yourself.

Kairi: (Nods wiping her eyes and then sits down closing her eyes slowly calming down the flow of power slowing it down as well).

Jennifer: Is it working?

Shizen: It looks like it.

Chazz: It is working.  (As he struggles back up feeling the energy being taken from him is slowing down).

Jennifer: (Sighs in relief though worry still in her mind).  Good.

Shizen: Then she should stop now….  I just do not have the best feeling right now.

Jennifer: What is it is Kairi, Chazz, and Tori alright right?

Shizen: It is not that.  It is just I hope she is not going overboard speaking to her spirit that holds her powers.

Chazz: Hopefully… If she pushes too hard, she could become corrupted from an evil spirit.

Jennifer: Chazz are you alright?

Chazz: I feel better… Still kind of weak I cannot keep Tori out, but Hiki I can handle.

Jennifer: She is pretty stubborn which makes it hard to push her around and she can’t stand the thought of hurting another, so I say good luck it it’s evil… You have a handful.

Chazz: Well, more evil than normal anyways.

Jennifer: It does not look like it.

Shizen I think it is going in reverse.  Chazz, can you feel strength returning through Tori?

Chazz: Yes.

Jennifer: she is returning it?

Shizen: Could be or she’s giving him her own power, stop her now.

Jennifer: Kairi stop it now.  (Kairi remains motionless becoming even more worried and can be heard in her voice).  … Kairi?

Chazz: Hiki knock her out.

Jennifer: Do not hurt her!  (Rushes forward Shizen holding her back).

Chazz: Hiki surround light around the young madam and drag her out of the trance.  Darkness is a dangerous element since if not prepared you can be consumed by it.

Jennifer: She’s so young for this still!  Why did I agree with this she is not ready!  (Struggles to get free of Shizen’s grip who turns into a woman in a green dress and grey hair holding her back, but she doesn’t notice to concerned for her sister as well as everyone else).

Chazz: She is not in danger.  I will make sure of it milady.  Tori can you get up?

Tori: (Stands up stiffly).  Yes sir.

Chazz: Good merge with the young madam’s darkness and drag her over to the lighter darkness that she is supposed to be in.  Darkness is a two-way road.  Benefits and punishes, fall too close to the evil darkness then it is hard to get back but if you can keep calm and peace, you can control darkness and will also win.

Jennifer: Please teach her then… I do not want her to get hurt but if anything were to happen to her….  (Pauses as she is staring to cry).

Shizen: It is alright.  Trust Chazz, Hiki, and Tori, they know what they are doing.

Chazz: Yes milady, it will be fine.  I will undo the burden I have placed on you both… HikiTori.  (A yin yang portal open and he dives in with Hikitori diving into Kairi’s mind to look for her, entering her mind seeing Kairi sitting there on a chair under one blinking light in the pitch-black room).

Hiki: Kairi!

Tori: I need back my energy thank you very much.

Chazz: (Suddenly they feel an unknown presence nearby).

Kairi: Oh Chazz, Hiki, Tori what are you doing here?  Oh, don’t hurt them they are friends.

Chazz: Umm madam who are you talking too?

Kairi: I do not know but they ask a lot of questions.

Tori: (Whispers to Chazz).  I feel two spirits here, one good one and the other feels like a demon.

Chazz: Like what type of questions madam?

Kairi: Well, the one they asked before you showed up was why was I willing to die just now to save you.

????: (The first voice is feminine and young sounding but slightly monotone in emotion).  We are still waiting on that answer.

Chazz: Hmm interesting, mind if we sit with you.

Kairi: Sure!

????: She must answer by herself no outside help.

Chazz: Of course, but we can watch if we want to unless. (Stares intimidatingly).  You have a problem with that.

????: I do not, just don’t be distracting to her.

???????: (The second voice sounds of a young boy but a bit of a attitude as well as a bit grumpy).  Well, I have a problem with it.

????: Shut up.

Kairi: (Giggles).

???????: What’s so funny.  Don’t make me come over there!

????: Just let me ask the questions.

???????: Whatever.

Chazz: Well then if that is settled, we will be sitting then.

????: Very well, I ask you again why were you willing to die for others?

???????: People you didn’t even know well for like two days.  I mean why bother; you don’t know them that well besides there not even people their part of another why risk your life?

????: You are to remain quiet.  We are not to persuade her answers.

???????: Whatever.

Chazz: No, I believe the addition to the question does matter because it weighs down the type of question besides just a general answer.

???????: I like this guy we should keep him.

????: (Sighs).  Just let us do our job it’s hard enough with him around.

???????: Hey not my fault the newbie likes me.

????: Just answer the question.

Chazz: I am not a newbie thank you very much.

???????: No one asked you!

Kairi: Umm excuse me but can I answer?

Chazz: Sorry, sorry got caught up in the moment.  You may proceed.

????: Go on.

Kairi: Well as for giving my life for them why wouldn’t I?  Chazz takes care of me and protects me with his life so why should not I do the same for someone who cares so much about me.  Hiki and Tori I don’t know too well but still I would give up my life in an instant just so they can live and do good things.  I may be too young to protect anyone through fighting but if they were in trouble and that was what I had to do I would do it in a heartbeat.

Chazz: As you did well young madam.  (Looks for the spirits).

???????: Now my question.  The person you love most is being held captive and about to die.  Would you kill the person holding them captive?

Kairi: … I don’t think I can I mean yes; my sis would be in danger, but couldn’t there be another way then killing them?  Yes, I love my sis but if I were to kill the person holding her there would be a person who loved them as much as I love sis who must be sad because of me.

???????: Wow that was lame.  No bloodshed at all?

????: Shush, interesting, alright my turn since you have dark energy do you think you can become corrupt.

Kairi: Corrupt?

???????: Come on you can’t seriously not know what corruption means.

????: Do you know what it means?

???????: S-shut up!

Chazz: Corruption as in doing evil deeds.  As the darkness spirit says you lose all self control and your personnel being is corrupted.

???????: I like this guy sounds like he knows what he’s talking about.

????: Just be quiet and let her answer.

Kairi: Alright, well I can understand why that would happen to someone who is alone, but I have friends that care about me.  As long as I have them, I know that I can make the right choices.

Chazz: Thank you for the affection.

???????: Who me or her because I still hate you for barging in.

Chazz: Hate me if you must but both.

???????: Can I kill him?

????: No.

???????: Oh well my question… Ahh… What would you do if you enjoyed fighting!

????: That is a stupid question.

???????: Shut up!

Kairi: enjoyed fighting? Why would I, I cannot stand the thought of anyone getting hurt in the fight.

???????: Hmm disappointing.

????: Very well, final question and a better way of saying what he said the question before.  If your energy were only good for fighting and killing, what would you do?

Kairi: I would never use it again.  I will not kill a person I cannot… I almost did and if I had known I was going to hurt them I would have never let myself train….  (Looks down as she starts crying).

Chazz: (Pats Kairi’s head).  And that is why you are one of my favorite’s madam.

(The room brightens up a bit revealing to shadowy figures one with glowing blue eyes in the shadowy form and a female figure and the other a male figure with glowing red eyes).

???????: Well, that was lame.  A girl this pure getting darkness energy, such a waste.

????: I feel it’s a relief.  I have never asked questions to a person who doesn’t have at least a shred of greed or selfishness.

???????: Like I said lame.

Chazz: Now that the place has lightened up a bit let us get down to business.  Who are you two?

????: Well one of us will be her energy, that’s why we were asking the questions.  We have a scale which leans one way or the other slightly with each question and statement since her energy had brought both of us instead of just one.

Chazz: I understand that, but it doesn’t answer my original question.

???????: You’re the one who came here rudely.  Why should I answer your question?  Seriously can I kill him?

????: No and our name is said when she gets one of us as a power.

Chazz: I see then I will retract my question and change it.  Madam Kairi, how do you feel right now?

Kairi: Fine… A little confused though… Which one is good?

???????: … I feel insulted.

Chazz: Why insulted?

???????: Was the talk of fighting so much not a giveaway!  I’m not a goody, goody like the freak next to me!

????: … Thanks for that.

Chazz: So nice and polite I see.

Kairi: (Giggles).

????: Anyways it’s time for final judgment of which one gets to be her power.  (brings out a scale one side says good the other bad and places it on a table in front of Kairi).  The side that has the most weight is the winning side, and it will start in 3, 2, 1. (Scale instantly falls to good).  Hmm usually it’s a gradual fall.

???????: Well, I’m out, I feel like I lost a bet.

????: Sore loser.

???????: Shut up!  Wanna go!

Kairi: Excuse me but do I not I get a say?

Chazz: Yes, you do madam.

Kairi: Why not both of you?

???????: Both?  What are you talking about?  Why do you want an evil power?

????: I am baffled as well, why?

???????: (Grins).  Unless there is a little darkness in you.

Chazz: Madam I would go against that.  You want two spirits that would get along fine, these would not.

Kairi: But what will happen to the other.

????: They fade away.

Kairi: So, they die?

Chazz: In other words, they move on to the next available person with the same element or go back to their world.

Kairi: Ohh… Well, I still want both.

???????: So, you so have a drop of corruption.  (His grin widens showing small fang like teeth).

Kairi: No, I just see a little good in you.

???????: (Pauses being taken off guard).  … Yeah right… You’re just wishing on that.  There’s no goodness here… I guarantee it.

Chazz: Madam Kairi why do you say that?

Kairi: No one is all evil.  I can tell he is not all bad, just has a big attitude problem.

???????: What!?

Chazz: Hmm interesting.

???????: You have no idea who I am!  I am pure evil don’t underestimate me!

????: (Sighs).  See what I must deal with.

Chazz: Yes, I do.

Kairi: If you are so evil why haven’t you killed me or my friends yet?  (Walks towards the shadow).

????: Umm don’t push him… Not a good idea.

Chazz: (Watches with caution).  Kairi be careful of your actions.

Kairi: (Walks up to the shadow staring into its glowing red eyes).

???????: What’s your problem… Asking for a fight?

Kairi: No, I’m just looking for the bit of good.  You have it in there because why else would you not of attacked me or Chazz already.

???????: You think I’m good?  It’s to innocent a thought and what makes you think I won’t kill you?  I only left you alive because I was amused now, I am a bit annoyed with it.

Kairi: If you want to destroy me.  (Takes the shadows arm that’s holding its dagger and places it towards her the shadow in shock as well as the one standing by Chazz).  Then do it.

Chazz: (Readies HikiTori to fight).

???????: Is this kid serious?  what is going on?

Kairi: If you’re so evil this shouldn’t be a problem, right?

????: Watch what you say to him.

???????: Why risk your life for something so meaningless…?

Kairi: I am not, I’m helping you.

???????: (Laughs).  Helping me with what?  Trying to realize I have good in me?  Good luck with that.

Kairi: Then why haven’t you attacked yet?  (Looks up at the shadow with innocent eyes).

???????: (Looks away almost as if covering a blush of embarrassment but not shown because of his shadowy look).  You, guy with the two swords.  She belongs to you?  I think she’s broken.  No person that’s sane goes up to a spirit meant to kill and asks them to kill them.

????: She is indeed stubborn.

Chazz: Let us begin the pact then.

????: Right but which one of us does she intend to keep?

Chazz: You, though I am not sure of the other one.

???????: (Looks at Kairi with interest in his eyes pulling away his arm).  You really think you can control me?

Kairi: No, I just want you to have a friend and not be alone.

Chazz: Well, the pact goes both ways.

???????: Fine but don’t expect me to be nice to you.

Kairi: Alright!  (Face brightens up happily).

????: Do I really have to share?  We don’t get along; we will only be a headache to you.

Kairi: I do not mind, just don’t hurt my friends.

???????: (Gives a grumpy look).  No promises.

Kairi: Good we have a deal.

Chazz: Well then.

Kairi: So, what now?

Chazz: Begin to agree to share your spirit and give them their names.

Kairi: I name them?

???????: Better be something good.

????: Whatever is fine with me.

Chazz: Yes, you do based on their elements and personality, but they could also name themselves.

Kairi: Oh, alright do you already have a name then?

????: Yes, but you should be able to figure out our names on your own.

Kairi: Oh alright….  (Walks up to the shadow with blue eyes looking at her as she thinks).  Kura?

Kura: Very good my lady.  (Bows, the other spirit seeming to pause but then just looks away as Kura seems almost emotionless).

Kairi: Nice to meet you, I am Kairi!  (Shakes Kura’s hand).

Chazz: Now the other one if, you are sure.

Kairi: Why not?

???????: If your wise listen to him carefully.

Chazz: It is up to you, but it is also up to the spirit to accept.

Kairi: Are you alright with it?

???????: (Shrugs).  Whatever… Sure why not.

Kairi: Alright, I guess you are my spirit to?

Chazz: It all matters on the agreement.

???????: I don’t think she can control me but go nuts.

Kura: Be wise my lady.

Kairi: (Gives a bright smile).  Alright it’s a deal!

???????: (Sighs).  You’re kind of foolish.

Chazz: Know this spirit, if I sense you are corrupting young Kairi, I will not hesitate to kill you if I sense you are.

???????: Not like I could control that, choosing me means you’re picking a wild spirit that will look for any opening to corrupt even If I don’t want to…. Not saying I wouldn’t want to or anything.  In fact, I was the one who drained your power as you trained her not that I can control that either.

Chazz: (Draws Hikitori looking for a way to separate Kairi from the shadow).

???????: You can’t protect her every time besides if she’s a goody like the scale says then she will be able to control me in time.  However, you might want to teach her how to not absorb darkness energy… Not that I care of your life.

Chazz: I know you do not, but it is my job to try but yes that lesson is planned.

Kairi: See you have a little good in you.

???????: … Don’t push it.

Chazz: Well then proceed to have a name.

Kairi: (Stares into the shadow’s eyes the shadow doing the same with interest then she says his name with confidence).  Yami!

Yami: Very good.  (Gives a grin as he offers his hand to shake).

Chazz: Kura and Yami, interesting combination.

Kura: (eyes widen for a moment hiding tears of shock and happiness as she looks at Yami but decides to hide her emotions that threaten to overwhelm her and looks down to hide it not wanting to get Yami in deep trouble and be sent away).  It somehow fits… But we will not get along.

Chazz: I am aware.

Kura: I see you have both light and dark spirits?

Chazz: Yes, I do.

Kura: You’re a bit luckier.  You have a power that balances out the other.

Chazz: You could say that.

Kura: Yes, your battles with them were tough but opposites get along and form a bond lasting an eternity.

Chazz: True, true.

Kura: However, I am a darkness energy spirit although a kind one, a darkness spirit in the end I cannot balance out the darkness of the other.

Chazz: I know it is difficult to balance out the same element.

Kura: She has a strong teacher to show her how but, on another note, why is she staring at his hand and not taking it.

Chazz: I see.

Kairi: (Stares at the hand offered then at Yami).

Yami: What’s wrong… Backing out?

Kairi: No.

Yami: Then what, hurry up.

Kairi: (Gives a mischievous smile before tackling Yami in a hug).

Yami: Gah no get away!  You’re supposed to shake my hand get her off of me!

Chazz: Well, that does count.

Kura: (Laughs).  But I did not get a hug?

Kairi: (Comes over to hug Kura).  Sorry, he just looked like he needed a hug.

Yami: Never do that again!

Chazz: But the pact is made now.

Kairi: What does that mean?

Chazz: You can now call them into battle by calling their names in a certain way.

Kura: We are now yours to control as you please.

Yami: Yeah, yeah just don’t expect me to care about you or anything.

Chazz: We will now pick the type of weapon you want them to be.

Kairi: Didn’t I have a dagger?

Chazz: Yes, do you wish to stay with that?

Kairi: I guess it would be two daggers then, but I do want to keep the throwing daggers.

Chazz: As you wish.

Kairi: (Looks at Kura and Yami).  Are you guys alright with that?

Kura: Whatever you wish is fine my lady.

Yami: (Shrugs).  Ehh I had a dagger anyways.

Kairi: umm are you guys’ just shadows or will you look different.

Kura and Yami: We will change

Yami: Don’t copy me!

Kura: We said it at the same time.

Chazz: (Laughs with Hiki and Tori).

Yami: How dare you laugh at me!  I will destroy you!

Chazz: I doubt it.

Yami: (Readies his dagger).  Want to go!  Bring it!

Kura: (Sighs shaking her head).

Chazz: No fighting in madam’s mind.

Yami: Don’t tell me what to do!

Kairi: Yami.  (Sings his name as she says it then tackles Yami in a hug again).

Yami: What?  Gah get away!  Get her off me!

Chazz: No can do.

Kairi: (Let’s go laughing and a smirk on Kura’s lips at the flustered Yami).

Kairi: How do I get out of here?

Chazz: You just think about it, but I must leave before then so see you later.

Kairi: Oh alright, see you.  (Yawns).

Kura: Farewell.

Yami: Just go away.

Hiki: Yami I will see you again!

Yami: (Mumbles grumpily).  What do I care?

Kairi: Bye!  (Gives Chazz, Hiki, and Tori a hug before they leave then waves with Kura, Yami crossing his arms facing away).

Chazz: See you soon.  (Leaves through the portal going back to the real world).

Jennifer: (Sees a portal form by Kairi and Chazz stepping out of it).  Is she alright?

Chazz: She is fine.

Jennifer: What happened?

Chazz: She had to make her pact with her spirits.

Jennifer: Spirits?  There’s more than one?  What are they like?  Are they harmful?

Chazz: One is questionable, but the other is perfectly safe.

Jennifer: Questionable?

Chazz: Not good but she insisted on making a pact with him anyways.  I could not tell her she could not.

Jennifer: How not good are we talking?

Chazz: He seems to be the type that relies on violence to solve most of his problems, but he seems to have a very interesting spirit indeed.  I look forward to seeing what happens to him.

Jennifer: (Voice rising in panic).  But what if the spirit cannot control himself and corrupts her!

Chazz: No, no if it happens, I can separate the spirit with ease.

Jennifer: Why can you not you do that now?

Chazz: I do not sense harm from the spirit though he is very dishonest with his feelings.

Jennifer: I don’t understand.

Shizen: A spirit that is wild and rebellious, hard to predict, correct?

Chazz: Pretty much.

Jennifer: I see then why is she not she waking up?

Chazz: She is probably still getting used to her spirits.  She is very accepting of them.

Jennifer: (Slightly smiles).  Even of the possibly corrupt one.  That is just like her.

Chazz: It really is.  I will stay here with Kairi since I’m not done training her yet so milady you may go on with your day.

Jennifer: No, I want to stay.

Chazz: As you wish.

Shizen: If you don’t get instincts of an animal again…. Never mind she has cat ears and a tail.  This has been a long day.

Jennifer: (Stares at Chazz).

Chazz: Why are you looking at me?

Jennifer: (Continues to stare Hiki doing the same to Hiki). Meow? (Tilts her head).

Chazz: Oh, no.

Shizen: (Sighs).  Had to be a cat, well I should help with this…. Farewell.  (Disappears).

Hiki: Bye.

Jennifer: (Walks over to Chazz on all fours then sits).

Chazz: Umm milady?

Jennifer: Meow?  (Rubs up against Chazz like a cat would do when wanting attention).

Chazz: Milady please stop.

Jennifer: Meow?  (Lays at Chazz’s feet).

Chazz: I must train your sister.

Jennifer: (Ignores Chazz stubbornly not getting up, clawing at Chazz’s shoe as if playing).

Chazz: (Looks at Jennifer with a smile).  Oh, oh.

Jennifer: (Tilts her head sitting up staring at Chazz).

Chazz: Miss kitty.

Jennifer: (Pounces at Chazz).

Chazz: Uh oh….

Jennifer: Meow?  (Looks up again tilting her head again but then knocks Chazz over).

Chazz: I need to train Miss Kairi.

Jennifer: (Curls up into a ball falling asleep on top Chazz).

Chazz: Oh, oh Tori can you handle madam while I deal with the new cat here now.

Tori: I think I can since she doesn’t seem to move anytime soon.

Jennifer: (Naps with her tail wrapped around Chazz).

Chazz: We are done, let us get going.

Jennifer: (Opens one eye looking at Chazz not wanting to move).

Chazz: (Gets up).

Jennifer: (clings to Chazz with claws into his butler’s coat)

Chazz: Tori I am going to go in now.

Tori: Yes, yes go ahead.

Chazz: Hiki want to help me out here?

Hiki: Aye, aye master!

Jennifer: (Looks up at Chazz again tilting her head questioningly).

Chazz: Come on now, let us head in.

Jennifer: (Meows annoyed but still clings to him not wanting to walk herself).

Chazz: (Gets back to the house Jennifer still clinging to him as she looks around curiously dragging her into the room).

Jennifer: Meow?

Hiki: (Manages to get Jennifer off Chazz).

Jennifer: (Clings to Hiki once pulled away from Chazz, everyone falling over as Jennifer runs into the closet in a panic.  Chazz and Hiki cuddling for a second before they realize what is going on, Jennifer peeking out of the closet in the shadow awareness coming back slowly but not enough to comprehend fully).

Hiki: (Does not let Chazz get up).

Chazz: Umm Hiki what are you doing?

Hiki: Just getting comfortable, that’s all.

Jennifer: (Watches with interest frowning slightly but not sure why.  She then comes out of the closet timidly going over to Chazz and Hiki).

Chazz: Yes milady?

Jennifer: (Tilts her head, ears twitching a little able to speak but in a little broken in language).  Hiki cuddles Chazz?

Chazz: Yes, she does.

Jennifer: I cuddle too?

Chazz: Umm no she just will not let me up.

Jennifer: (Pounces cuddling Chazz as well).  Cuddles!

Chazz: Umm.

Jennifer: (Smiles).  Fun!

Chazz: … Very.

Jennifer: Hiki likes cuddles too?

Hiki: Yes.

Jennifer: (Yawns).  Yay!

Chazz: Well, it seems I am staying here tonight.

Jennifer: Yay Chazzy and Hiki can stay forever, Tori too, everyone stay forever!

Chazz: (Everyone falls asleep, but his hand ends up holding both Jennifer’s and Hiki’s chests as he snores in heavy sleep, not seeming to realize this).

Jennifer: (Holds both Chazz and Hiki in her sleep her ears eventually turning back to normal later that night she slowly wakes up thinking she is in her bed holding a stuffed animal not opening her eyes not wanting to wake up.  Wakes up a little more her vision coming slowly as she tries to figure out what’s going on even though she feels comfortable feeling long hair.  Her vision clears to see she is laying on Chazz and holding Hiki as she quietly panicking as she notices also where Chazz’s hand is trying to figure out an escape plan as she blushes).

Chazz: (Moves his hands over more by Jennifer as they hold a bit closer).

Jennifer: (Blushes even more looking for a way to get out finding none then realizes Hiki is wearing a dress that was a little messed up from being pounced on.  Right now, as she tries to shift away not really working as well as she hopes).

Hiki: (Wakes up a little bit).

Jennifer: (Quickly acts like she is asleep so that it looks like Hiki is the first to wake up).

Hiki: Jenny I know you’re up or else you wouldn’t be so warm right now.

Jennifer: (Whispers frantically).  Uh umm… yes sorry umm what happened?  Did something happen… What is happening and why are you…Dressed like that?

Hiki: Oh I am huh I didn’t notice.  Though I do like the moment right now and yesterday you acted like a cat.

Jennifer: That does not explain how I am here like this, and can you get up he’s holding me in awkward places.

Hiki: No but that doesn’t change anything.

Jennifer: How about we wake him up and then act like we are asleep again that was my first plan.

Hiki: Then he sees me improper and where his hands were unless you want him to remember your chest, but he may like that.

Jennifer: Well, I cannot exactly move so I guess we are stuck then.

Hiki: He will move eventually.

Jennifer: But that is when he wakes up and probably freaks out or something.

Hiki: No when he falls asleep, he moves around alot so it’s fine.  When he gets his hand off, you’ll be fine.  This has happened to me many times, so I know what happens.

Jennifer: Alright… I guess we just wait then.

Hiki: Yep, well it seems we are staying here tonight.

Jennifer: Indeed, it looks like it is getting dark out.

Hiki: It does, it reminds me of Tori.

Jennifer: It does, he must be training Kairi now I hope they are alright.

Hiki: They are most likely fine.

Jennifer: I hope, oh Hiki I have a question I’ve been meaning to ask you, but you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to.

Hiki: (Gives a confused look).  Alright then?

Jennifer: Would you go out with Chazz if you had the chance?

Hiki: Of course.

Jennifer: Why not tell him.

Hiki: He wouldn’t date me because of our relationship.  Trust me I have tried but I can’t care about him more than I should.  (Her hand tightens).

Jennifer: You tried?

Hiki: Yeah, after some time when I had a chance to know more things about him and how he is.  I just wanted him to know about my feelings.

Jennifer: What did he say?

Hiki: Exactly what I told you.

Jennifer: That does not make sense… I wonder if he has feelings for you as well but just doesn’t want to damage the bond you have…  I am not sure.

Hiki: It’s most likely that because that’s just the type of person he is.

Jennifer: (Looks down sadly).  I suppose.

Hiki: Why do you ask though?

Jennifer: Just curious, you two looks cute together.  I used to pair people together like my sister does now.  I guess that never goes away.

Hiki: Well, it makes you happy so it’s alright.

Jennifer: Indeed.  (Smiles a little bit).  Besides even if I told him I had feelings for him I would feel badly.  I think it is the person who deeply cares about the other first should belong with the other… I kind of regret kissing him now.  I did not think there was another who liked him before me.

Hiki: Well, I think you have better chances then I do in all honesty.

Jennifer: I am a noble, he is not.  Although I know of nobles who go out with servants and peasants but never marry or else, they are cast out; it is less common the higher ranked the nobles.

Hiki: But don’t your parents like Chazz, also does it matter if you are cast out.  You would be with the one you care about the most.  Should it matter what your parents think?

Jennifer: My parents are not around us too much.  My mom’s more understanding but if I become a fallen noble, I would likely never be able to see my sister again.

Hiki: But wouldn’t your sister find ways to get to you also his hands are warm, aren’t they?

Jennifer: It has not come to that yet.  I mean he is not the kind to share feelings with another so easily from what I can tell… But yes, he makes you feel protected in a way.

Hiki: Even though they are on our chests you would think he is a perverted protector now wouldn’t you.  Yes, he isn’t that open about that but when he is ready, he will open up.

Jennifer: Maybe he is secretly a perverted protector but in time he will share his feeling.  I am alright with how things are now though.

Hiki: True, true.

Jennifer: Hiki you are a good friend.

Hiki: Well, thank you milady.

Jennifer: No need to be formal, were friends.

Hiki: Force of habit, I call you either one really.

Jennifer: You can talk to me as if I were not a noble.  I wish he would do that as well.  It makes me feel I am superior when I am not when he does that.

Hiki: I doubt he would because he respects you.

Jennifer: I know and also, it’s his job.  If he were to talk to me informally, he’d be fired I don’t want that.

Hiki: Not even when you two are alone?  (Giggles).  Anyways he will still call you that because he was taught it is disrespectful to call a lady by their name if you are a butler since he serves you personally.

Jennifer: What do you mean alone!

Hiki: The kiss mind you.  You are not respectful; you just kiss a guy you like without him knowing.  Your very forward aren’t you, Jenny.

Jennifer: (Blushes).  I did not think anyone would know!

Hiki: Hmm interesting.

Jennifer: What, I would take it back if I could!

Hiki: No, you wouldn’t.

Jennifer: (Becomes embarrassed and flustered hiding her face).  Just leave me alone….

Hiki: Oh, oh you are cute when you blush.

Jennifer: I am not trying to be cute….

Hiki: I know but maybe if it doesn’t work out with master then maybe I will date you.

Jennifer: What we are both girls!  How on earth did that come to mind!

Hiki: Well, you have already seen me naked.  Chazz hasn’t, well almost anyways.  He is asleep or doesn’t look at all because I tell him.

Jennifer: Umm alright… Then but then why around me?

Hiki: It just happened; I can’t control it.

Jennifer: Well, it is not uncommon for women to see each other.  I mean there are changing rooms and public baths, but I never used one.  I have my own quarters so I would not know.

Hiki: Well, I can bathe with you if you want.

Jennifer: Umm… No that is alright, I am good.

Hiki: No, I’m going to.  It seems more fun than master’s bathroom.

Jennifer: (Sighs).  Something tells me you will use light speed to get to my room while I am in the bathroom.  Will it help if I say please do not?

Hiki: (Shakes her head no).  Nope.

Jennifer: (Sighs again).  Looks like I am stuck in this.

Hiki: Oh yeah.

Jennifer: Well now what?

Hiki: Let’s get some rest.

Jennifer: I suppose goodnight Hiki, goodnight, Chazz.

Chazz: (In his sleep Chazz’s hold tightens on both of them).

Hiki: (Lets out a small giggle but faint blush as well).

Jennifer: (Blushes madly but tries not to).

Hiki: Oh, Chazz you’re so forward while you’re asleep, be honest when you’re awake please.  (Kisses Chazz’s forehead).

Jennifer: Umm can we just stop talking to him while he is asleep.  It makes him grab more and I would not appreciate that.  It is already awkward and embarrassing enough.

Hiki: As you wish milady.

Jennifer: Thank you and never speak of this to him please.

Hiki: Why would I.  I would get fired as your new maid.

Jennifer: Wait what?  Since when did you become a maid?

Hiki: Yesterday when I jumped on you.

Jennifer: Oh, right well… Wait if you are my maid then… Oh no you’re the one getting me ready and ending the day….

Hiki: Oh yeah.

Jennifer: This will be fun… Well, I will worry about it later.

Hiki: Goodnight milady.

Jennifer: Goodnight….  (Sighs shaking her head though she cannot help but smile, falls asleep quickly afterwards).

Hiki: (Disappears into light particles).

Chazz: (Later that night he wakes up feeling the softness his hand is holding.  Once he is fully awake, he starts panicking and getting up).

Jennifer: (Still sleeps making a small noise in her sleep as Chazz gets up).

Chazz: (Sneaks out and heads back to his room.  In his head thinking “I touched it ohh damn it.  I can’t believe I did this” running fast into his room).

Hiki: (Is laughing telling him).  It’s alright, you did the same to me.

Chazz: (Becomes flustered as he tries to apologize, Hiki telling him she would forgive him if he gave her a kiss.  He kisses her on the forehead asking if she is happy now and Hiki forgives him as she giggles).

Shizen: (Appears in Jennifer’s room sighing).  I am glad that is over.  Now let’s get you into bed.  You really are a heavy sleeper child. (Puts Jennifer in her bed tucking her in).  Sleep well, you had a long, interesting day.  (Sleeps at the end of the bed tucked into a ball as if a giant dog instead of a wild wolf).

 

Meanwhile everyone had slept by each other Tori trains Kairi on her energy.

Kairi: (Wakes up sitting up and rubbing her eyes).

Tori: Are you ready?

Kairi: Huh… Ready for what?

Tori: For training.

Kairi: Oh alright….  (Looks around).  Where did everyone go?

Tori: They had to go inside since your sister had become a cat.

Kairi: (Gives a confused look tilting her head).  A cat?

Tori: … Yeah.

Kairi: I do not get it.

Tori: Don’t worry about it.

Kairi: (Smiles and shrugs).  Alright so are you training me?

Tori: Yes, because master is very tired, so I am the best one to train you.

Kairi: So, what do I do?

Tori: Bring out your spirits or attempt to.

Kairi: How do I do that?

Tori: Focus and imagine them being right in front of you.

Kairi: Alright umm….  (Closes her eyes).  Can you please come out… Umm can you guys stop arguing I thought we solved this and don’t be upset that I thought you would make a cute couple?

Tori: … What?

Kairi: (Opens her eyes rubbing her head).  Sorry they are a little busy.  Yami is upset at me for calling both a couple.  Kura is just facepalming once I mentioned it again and Yami gave me a headache.

Tori: Oh, oh I see.

Kairi: Sorry I did not mean to.

Tori: It’s fine I got an idea.  Hey Yami if you don’t get your butt out here, I will say you are the weakest spirit of darkness.

(A young man looking about 14 to 15 with black spiky messy hair with red highlights and red eyes and wearing black with red borders appears.  Along with him is a young lady looking about the same age about 16 with black long hair being very straight with blue highlights wearing a black knee high dress with tights and bordered with blue appears with slight red tails on it).

Yami: What!  Say that again!  I dare you!  I am the strongest of all of you!  You want me to prove it!  I’ll fight all of you!

Kura: (Sighs shaking her head).

Tori: Well, there goes my idea.  It worked perfectly, thank you for coming out.  Kura thank you for your patience with Miss Kairi here and Yami you are very easy to read.

Yami: (Darkness power from both Kura and Tori go to Kairi then to Yami like before the angrier he gets).  What you tricked me!

Tori: Yes, I did.  I wanted to see you in the world not in her mind.

Yami: You… Wait what why the fuck do you want to see me?

Kura: (Covers Kairi’s ears as Yami swears).

Tori: So, you can help me train Kairi.

Yami: And why would I do that?

Kairi: Because if you do not, I will hug you again.

Yami: (Pauses his eyes widening for a second).  Yeah, sure whatever not like I have anything better to do.

Tori: Thank you for your time.

Yami: Whatever.

Kura: I am happy to help.

Tori: Thank you.

Kura: (Bows to Tori then stands by Kairi’s side, Yami on the other side looking grumpy with his arms crossed).

Tori: Well then.

Kairi: Now what do I do?

Tori: Focus on trying to stop the absorbing of dark powers.

Kairi: I do not want to hurt anyone anymore.

Kura: It’s not your fault, it’s his.  (Motions to Yami).

Yami: Yeah, it’s me… I have no problem with it.  It’s just what my power does.  (Shrugs).

Tori: Well, we can focus on it absorbing nearby darkness like shadows and not people.

Kairi: I can try.

Kura: (Pauses and looks like she sighs) good luck last time that happened we nearly faded.

Kairi: (Frowns).  So, it hurts you too?

Kura: Do not worry if he takes too much of my energy, I can return to your mind to rest.

Tori: Well, let’s begin by trying to get you to focus on trying to seize it, Kura and Yami will help.

Kairi: (Gives a determined look).  I will do my best.

Kura: Do not worry it will take time to master.

Yami: Just don’t get me angry… That makes it harder.

Kura: Also, while fighting it is harder to control so let’s try without it at first.

Tori: Please proceed then.

Kairi: How do I start, am I draining you now?

Tori: A little bit but try to focus on one source instead of all darkness.

Kairi: Alright I will try.  (Closes her eyes Kura watching intently and Yami leaning on a wall with his arms crossed.  After a few minutes Yami closes his eyes, power taken from Tori and Kura lessening a little).

Tori: Good it is working then.

Kura: (Walks towards Tori standing by his side).  Well, I have to say I believe that Yami is secretly helping.  I didn’t think he had it in him though I don’t think he will admit it.

Tori: No, he won’t.

Kura: Oh well I guess we wait.  (Power being taken from them lessens almost to a stop).

Tori: Yes, we do.

Kairi: (The dark power stops flowing from both Tori and Kura and instead is taken from Yami who get an annoyed look).

Tori: Good job so far.

Kairi: (More power is taken from Yami his eyes snapping open in a glare towards Kairi as she absorbs more from him. 

Yami: (His eyes widening showing a look of pain but only slightly grabbing his dagger and cutting the power stream making it break, making Kairi pass out and fall).

Tori: Damn it.

Yami: (Crosses his arms and leans on the wall while Kura catches Kairi as she falls).

Kura: (Quickly catches Kairi looking concerned).  Milady are you alright?

Tori: She was draining from dark power, of course she isn’t because he cut off the stream for his and her safety.

Kura: (Glares at Yami).

Yami: (Shrugs) Umm oops?

Tori: No, no it’s fine.  The fact she didn’t take from us two is impressive enough.

Yami: Rather it be you two.

Tori: I know but you’re her spirit, not me so yes.

Yami: Whatever….

Kura: I see what your deal is the darkness energy you collect you make your own but if taken away your own but if taken away you’re gone for good.  I didn’t see you try and restore it through your own power just another power, does that mean it can only be taken or given one at a time.

Yami: I hate being connected to you.

Kura: Deal with it.

Tori: Yes, as you explained you have your own energy.  If it’s gone you fade away for a little bit to recover.

Yami: (Looks down slightly but not much).  Yeah… Yeah are we done the girl looks beat.

Kura: Why would you care?

Yami: I-I don’t care, just tired of training the girl.

Tori: Yes, I agree with non-honest Yami.  We should stop for today.

Yami: (Gives an annoyed look toward Tori).  Non-honest?

Kura: (Laughs a little).

Tori: Yes, yes let’s go.

Kura: Very well….  (Picks up Kairi).

Yami: I’m not taking care of her, don’t look at me.  (Disappears).

Kura: Very well but since you’re dressed like a butler, I say you should take her to her room.  Wait you are a spirit, why are you dressed like that?

Tori: Because of my master since he is a butler it would make sense for me to be dressed like one to hide.

Kura: Very well you take her, if I go back, she will recover much faster.

Tori: Yes, very well.

Kura: (Hands Kairi to Tori and bows as she disappears).

Kairi: (Sleeps in Tori’s arms snuggling up to him smiling).

Tori: (Walks to Kairi’s room explaining to anyone that asks that Kairi played outside and got tired and ignores everything in Jennifer’s room not wanting to be part of it).

Kairi: (Wakes a little bit but still very tired).  … Tori?

Tori: Yes madam?

Kairi: I’m sorry if I hurt you.

Tori: No need to worry.

Kairi: Did I do alright… I don’t really know what happened.

Tori: That is fine, you will learn.

Kairi: Alright… Why are you carrying me I can walk by myself?  Did I fall asleep training, I’m sorry?  (Yawns).

Tori: No, it’s fine, I will carry you save your energy for another day.

Kairi: Alright.  (Looks at Tori with a tired but cheerful smile).

Tori: (Arrives at Kairi’s room).  Yes, here we are.

Kairi: Well, were here guess its bedtime.  I wonder if a servant laid out my nightgown oh wait, I see them on my bed… Never mind.

Tori: Yes well, I must be going back now my job here is done.

Kairi: Alright thank you mister Tori.  (Climbs out of Tori’s hold only to fall backward onto Tori once trying to step into her room almost fully asleep).

Tori: Oh, oh well let’s get you into your bed.  I will let Hiki take care of the nightgown.

Kairi: I am fine I can get….  (Mumbles then falls asleep mid-sentence smiling in her sleep).

Tori: (Smiles picking Kairi up and putting her in her bed, leaving with an oddly better mood and big smile).
