The Legend Of The Teenage Therian Warriors

Episode 23

Kenji Thinks to himself 'Okay Kenji, focus,breath in, breath out. imagine the flames burning brightly in your palms, the flames are a part of you now, picture them burning, fiery'.

Kenji closes his eyes and focuses his breathing, inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly all the while keeping his hands cupped by his sides, in his mind's eye he saw the Phoenix Fire traveling from the fire glowing inside the fire tattoo burning around his navel & as his eyes opened the fire appeared on his palms and around him. He smiled at the flames.

Tora asks her training partner "Have you ever thought about how in nature lions and Tigers never meet?"

Shishana replies to her "Now that you mention it, no I haven't, that is pretty darn interesting".

Hyōna asks her training partner "Yukino, when do you think it is we should all make a move on Kenji?"

Yukino replies "Oh I don't know Hyōna, I'm really all for it all but it may be a bit much for him, you know, ten girls all confessing to him at the same time , I think it may fry his poor brain, he may not be able to take it at all, I mean he is strong willed and strong minded but any person can crumble under pressure like that no matter how strong their mind is".

Chitayna asks "Gina, do you think that Kenji may like us the same way we like him? I mean that seems to be the case.

Gina replies to her "Totally, he is so totally into us if his reactions to our actions are any indication".

Akane asks her training partner for the day "Hey Tsukiko, did you know that Dholes were bred to fight regular lions?" and then she says "I mean like they fight lone lions as a pack of dogs".

Tsukiko : Wow that is way cool, I can not ever even imagine such an incredible thing happening at all but I believe you since you as an anthro one would research those things".

Kireitsune expresses joy saying "Wow Jackie, look, Kenji is getting quite good with his Phoenix Fire isn't he? Like seriously, just look at him so easily summoning those flames"

Jackie replies "Well that's one of the few things that I can not violently disagree with, he has a feel for that kind of thing,a better person couldn't have gotten those phoenix powers"

Kenji thinks to himself 'I wonder what the girls are talking about, they seem real deep in conversation' as he looks at them chatting away while sparring with each other at the same time.

Kenji smiles watching the girls talking to each other while sparring, finding it a beautiful sight he chuckles at his attraction to the girls and the blush adorning his young face, he consideres himself lucky to be living with the girls, he sees Kireitsune looking at him and gives her a smile and she smiles back at him causing him to feel his insides flutter.

(Meanwhile somewhere else)

?? : "Never did I think the prospect of winning would be something I would crave so badly that I could basically taste it, but that's exactly how it is now with this revenge that I've been planning for so long so I'll make sure you regret it Akio Shedji ahahahahahahaha!"

(Back to Kenji and the crew)

The talking became less and the sparring got intense,Tora and Shishana were blocking each other's shots with the opposite limb,Hyōna and Yukino dodged one another's blows with great agility,Chitayna tried to use her speed to her advantage but Gina read her like a book,Akane and Tsukiko were even,kireitsune and Jackie kept surprising each other.

(With Kenji's parents)

Akio : I just felt a shiver run up and down my spine dear

Asuka : My dear husband, it's probably those old clan leaders plotting their revenge.

Akio : Oh well, Kenji and the girls will pick him apart, he doesn't stand a chance.

(Kenji and crew)

Kenji still stood flashing that genuine smile at Kireitsune which made her heart flutter, while everyone may think that a guy she likes a lot would not have that kind of an affect on her the opposite of that belief was true because he made her weak in the knees just by being near her and that is a little unknown secret.

Kenji : "She has that smile that makes my heart skip a beat, she was the first girl I liked of them."

Kireitsune : "Oh Kenji-Dono, if you only knew what you do to me you would be shocked."

After some agonisingly
long seconds of smiling they went back to their activities.
