SPIRIT HUNTER

CHAPTER 11: The battle is set

Jiro knew that he was to fight Yoru alone, whether Taka was to come to back him up or not. Jiros confidence was high and he knew many new attacks since the first time he used slash. He has trusted Coyote more, and is aware that the fight will take place in The Boka Boka forest. An advantage for Jiro to hide in bushes and behind trees. And a disadvantage for Yoru as aerial spirits won't see from above.

JIRO: I'm ready to fight, Sensei Hokky. I've Been waiting long enough. Let me go. It doesn't have to be in the forest I'll find their hiding spot and just go like that.

SHURUI: ha ha ha....he's an anxious one. Eh? Reminds me of myself when you first started training me, Sensei.

HOKKY: mmmm. JIRRRO. You still have a week left. You have learned a lot of moves with your spirit in these past 30 days. I'm shocked you've gained so much trust as well with a powerful spirit. But, it is obvious that Taka is training with Yoru as well. Your spirit has told you where the fight has taken place in your dream, so I'm guessing the same holds for Yoru. Like I said, be ready Jiro. And train more.

JIRO: But what should I train more on, Master Hokky?

HOKKY: Meditate more, Jiro. You must learn to trust your spirit more and make sure that you can control it freely, any mis communications mid battle will cause death. We don't want to take those chances.

SHURUI: Go into the meditation room, Jiro. The one where you can enter your deep state of mind. Talk to Coyote, make a plan.

Jiro entered the meditation room, where he fell asleep and dreamt, Shurui lit the lucid dream candle, and Jiro entered the deep state of mind.

JIRO: Coyote, I want to fight. But according to Sensei Hokky...

COYOTE: Jiro. What Hokky talks about, and me being greedy. I used to be like that. I would probably agree with you and go for cold blood. Until Hokkys father changed me.

JIRO: Hokky's, Father?

COYOTE: I know he hasn't told you because he's scarred by his past. But yes, my holder before you, Hokkys father, he changed my way of thinking. After his amazing love and dedication to saving others, when he showed that, against wolf, it was amazing.

JIRO: What? You mean, he fought against wolf, YOU fought against wolf?

COYOTE: Yes, if anything we went into the fight knowing we were going to lose, but amazingly, we won, well, sort of. We sacrificed ourselves to take wolf and his holder down. To save others. When he had died, I was angry, I was released and free again, not having a holder. But slowly I changed my ways. After thinking that he was selfish taking his own life throwing our relationship away, I realized he did it not for himself, but for his family and friends.

JIRO: So how long ago was this? Until obviously you chose me next as a holder.

COYOTE: Mmm, well, I've always been with you since birth, but around 55 years ago, when Hokky was around 5 years old, and you weren't even born.

JIRO: wait a minute, since birth, YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN APART OF ME?!?!

COYOTE: Ha Ha haaa! Of course I have. But I never showed myself, even when I wanted to, like when you got into fights. Because of what I learned from Shojo, Or Hokkys father.

JIRO: Ahh, I see. Well. Now that I know that, it explains a lot, like why when I told Hokky for the first time my power, he was surprised when it was you. He thought I would be...Wolf.

COYOTE: The reason I don't like talking about Hokky is for that exact reason. He alone has the subspecies of the sprit that ended me. He doesn't know what killed his father. He never learned through all this time. But the day he learns, I'm afraid he'd want to end his own life.

JIRO: ahhhh.

COYOTE: Enough of Hokky and the past, our opponent is an aerial type, Jiro, and he has an advantage, but with our terrain, we also have an advantage, and I have an idea that might work...

IN AN UNKNOWN LOCATION

???: Stupid, they're all stupid. We could kill them all, right, wolf.

WOLF: Rookies.......
