Stuck In Your Arms (Ittorou / Itto x Gorou)

Chapter Four - First Training

"All right! You ready?" Gorou walked next to Itto and glanced at the dummies in front of him happily.

He was more than happy to have someone to train with. He felt lonely these days. His tail was wagging as he looked at Itto in anticipation.

The young oni was holding the bow with shaking hands.

"Umm... Are you sure I'm holding it correctly?" he asked as he took a glance at the general.

"Hmm..." Gorou thought to himself as he walked behind Itto. "Let me help you."

He gently grabbed his waist and straightened his back. Then he positioned his arms correctly as well. After he finished fixing Itto's position, he walked back next to him.

"Okay, you're ready." he nodded to the oni reassuring him.

Itto looked back at the dummy in the middle.

"Alright, Itto. You can do this. You won't fail, you're the best! The "One and Oni" Itto never loses!" he took a deep breath as he thought to himself.

He opened his eyes and aimed at the dummy, then let go of the arrow. The arrow flew by the dummy and hit a lavender melon on a tree behind it.

"Oh! That seems delicious!" a wide smile appeared on the oni's face as he walked to the fruit.

Gorou seemed speechless.

"Wow... It seems like he was hungry. His attention span is shorter than I expected." he nodded to himself as he watched Itto give a piece of the melon to his small friend, Ushi.

"There ya go, pal!" he grinned proudly, then raised one piece in the air. "Hey! General, this one's for you!"

Gorou blinked a few times in confusion before walking up to him.

"For me?" he glanced at the fruit, then back at him.

"Yes! I always share my food with my friends."

Gorou's tail started wagging a bit.

"Friend? We are friends?" he asked unsurely, not expecting Itto to become friends with him so quickly.

"You heard it correctly." Itto smiled at him and handed him the piece. "It's better when it's roasted but oh well!"

Gorou stared at the fruit for a while, then decided to eat it. His tail was wagging even more from happiness. He never thought anyone would want to be friends with a general of an army.

"Oh, you seem happy, General! How adorable!" Itto chuckled at the sight of his tail wagging like crazy.

He slowly reached out and caressed the top of Gorou's head gently. Gorou immediately turned red and backed off, not sure if he liked this or not.

"Oh, my bad. Was it too much?" Itto laughed awkwardly. "I'm sorry. Let's just continue."

He decided to walk back to the bow and pick it up. Gorou watched him in curiosity.

"Try to imagine someone you hate there. It might help you out." he walked back next to him while giving the advice.

The oni nodded and squinted his eyes a bit. He focused hard on Kujou Sara. Gosh, that woman took his vision and had the audacity to put it onto the bottom of the statue. She will regret that!

He let go of the arrow which hit the dummy's chest.

"On a second thought... She has nice tits." Itto thought to himself with a sly smile on his face.

"Hm?" Gorou looked at him with a confused facial expression. "Why is he smiling like that?"

"Pff, but Miss Hina has better." Itto continued to chuckle to himself as he thought of his crush.
