Part XI

~Kashin~

~Thump thump~

How does that famous saying go... old habits die hard... or sometimes not at all...

~Thump thump~

Nobody wants a bad habit to interfere with their good life, like how you wouldn't want your past to interfere with your present, but sometimes our old ways have ways of coming back on there own... even if we don't want them to...

~Thump thump~

"Kashin..." I heard Father call as he looked around the forest for me.

We were training again, today Father was supposed to try and help me gain better control of my chakra, my beast chakra specifically. The slightest threat can trigger my change and strong emotions that come with it don't help when I try to contain it.

"Where'd you run off to?" Father called again.

We tried to use up all my strength, so the 'red' chakra would take over and we could work on it, but it didn't go the way we thought. The last time I changed I had control, but today... today the beast had control. I sat in my tree, watching the silver head man look around for me as he walked. I growled softly to myself before positioning myself for an attack. Father must have heard the rustling of the leaves because he turned to look straight at me. I jumped at him, just missing him before I went rolling.

"Ok, found you...," Father said to himself, getting into a fighting stance as I stood.

"Kashin, breath... ok, this chakra is inside you..." He tried to talk me out of it.

I lowered onto all fours, growling as I began to circle Father. 

"Make it obey you..." He copied my movements. 

I snapped at him, my tails flaring above me. I halted my strides, seeing Father do the same before I smirked, jumping toward him. He tried to jump back but his back hit a tree, shocking him before he snapped his head to my approaching form. He jumped up at the last minute, swinging in the tree and jumping over me, rolling along the floor before turning to face me and readying himself for the next attack. Me on the other hand, because Father had moved, I slammed head first into the tree, ripping it partly out of the ground and shattering the base, sending the top half flying off somewhere.

"Ok then, will remember to keep clear of that..." I heard Father mumble.

I shook my head, grunting at the feeling and turning back to look at Father.

"Kashin, calm down, ok, you can control it..." Father spoke.

I looked sideways at the tree stump, twisting my tails together before thrusting it into the wood and ripping it all the way out of the ground, holding it over my head before hurling it at my Father. He jumped out of the way, watching the stump fly through other trees before I tackled him to the ground.

"Crap!" Father blocked the attacks I made.

"Come on concentrate! You can overcome it!" Father moved his head to the side as I thrusted my tails towards it.

I paused, breathing heavily as I stared wide eyed at the male beneath me.

"That's it," Father breathed, noticing my internal fight for control.
