Breath Of The Phoenix *DISCONTINUED*

Chapter 6

*3rd point of view*

After the water trio ate breakfast, they all grabbed their haoris and went outside to train.

When they got to the training grounds, the trio was a bit shocked to see Sora covered in sweat and dirt while swinging her katana in a strange stance.

"You three should spar with her."

Giyuu, Makomo, and Sabito jumped seeing Urokodaki next to them.

"She was trained by the strongest Hashira after all." And with that Urokodaki walked back inside of his house.

Sabito smirked and walked over to Sora who seemed to be in her own world while training.

Makomo called out to him a bit worried, "Um, Sabito! I don't think that's a very good idea."

Giyuu nodded in agreement but Sabito ignored them and continued to creep over to Sora.

Then he suddenly shouted, "OI! DEMONS!!!"

Sora jumped, dropping her katana and started screaming, "IIIYYAAA!!! DEMONS? BUT THE SUN IS OUT!!! CAN DEMONS WALK UNDER THE SUN NOW??!!!! IM AS GOOD AS DEAD!!!!"

Sabito laughed hysterically while Makomo ran over to Sora trying to calm her down. Giyuu simply watched the chaos around him with a disappointing sigh.

"Sora-Chan! There are no demons. Sabito is just messing with you." Makomo patted her friends back gently.

Sora sniffed and wiped away her tears with her haori, "Really? Demons aren't walking under the sun?"

The ravenette shook her head, "Nope!"

Then they heard Sabito and Giyuu walking towards them, "Are you sure that she was the one who saved you guys? I mean look, she started crying and screaming the moment Sabito said demons." Giyuu looked at Sora with a judgmental expression making her insecure.

Makomo immediately started scolding the male, "Giyuu! That was really rude! People have different ways of coping with demons you know."

Sora shook her head in disagreement, "No, he's right. I'm nothing but a scaredy-cat. If it wasn't for Sensei, I would be nothing but a useless girl. Even the people around me say it. There's nothing I hate more than myself."

The Water Trio looked at her shocked, 'She....hates herself?'

Makomo wrapped her arms around Sora and pulled her into a tight hug, "You're not useless. Far from it! You're extremely strong and your Sensei must have felt it as well. After all, why would she train you if she didn't?"

Sora's eyes widened at Makomo's words, 'She's right. Sensei always pushed me to my limits and never gave up on me! Every time I wanted to quit she gave me motivation to continue!'

Suddenly, Sora felt something coming her direction and she caught it with ease. She looked up and saw that Sabito threw a wooden Katana at her.

"Urokodaki-Sensei said that you were taught by the strongest Hashira right? I want to see just how much she trained you."

Makomo sighed and she released Sora from her hug and stepped back.

Sora looked at her in confusion then she looked back at Sabito only to find that he wasn't there.

The yellow-haired female looked around the area with her eyes still wide. She heard a small twig snap and she lifted her katana, blocking Sabito's attack.

The pink-haired male glared at her and jumped back, 'How was she able to block that? It was obvious that she couldn't see me!'

Sabito readied his katana and charged at Sora again. He struck downward but she dodged again. He tried swiping her legs but she jumped.
