Kyoto

Sword Training

Christina's P.O.V.

When I said that it was my first time throwing a shuriken, I wasn't lying. And I wasn't lying when I claimed to not use my power, either. However, this wasn't my first time with a katana in my hand.

I took various martial arts as a child, and received a black belt for all of them. I have also been taught to fight using a variety of guns, knives, and swords. My uncle taught me how to properly hold and fight with a dagger.

Yuki started me out with a small katana and increased the size every ten minutes.

"Wow, don't tell me this is your first time using a katana, too." Yuki smiled.

"It isn't. I've been fighting with all types of swords since middle school." I explained.

"That makes sense." Yuki replied. "I was taught to use shrunkens when I was about five."

"Wow!"

"I think that's why Ryo wanted me to train you. Maybe you should've been the one to train me."

"No, I could never be as good as you Yuki."

"Hey girls!" Taisei grinned, walking into the courtyard from a door on the far side.

"What you want Tai?" Yuki asked, placing a hand on her hip. "If you plan on making a move on Christina, you might as well give up now."

"Why are you so harsh? I understand Ryo and Haru yelling at me for it, but you, Yuki? That's not why I came in here anyway. I came to see how Christina's training is coming."

Taisei's P.O.V.

I really don't see what's everyone's problem with me is. I can understand Ryo and Haru, but not Yuki. Ryoto Sasaki and Haruto Fujimoto are simply upset that I'm flirting with Christina.

"Her training is just fine!" Yuki said coldly.

"Alright then." I noticed Christina looking at me. When I made eye contact with her, she looked down. "Christina, kireidesune."

"Huh?!?" She looked up, blushing.

"Don't you speak Japanese?" I grinned.

"I do... It's just you surprised me."

Kireidesune means "you're beautiful," in Japanese.

"In that case, kisu shite." I was planning on telling her to kiss me whether or not she said that she speaks Japanese.

"W-what?!?" Christina began to back away from me.

Before she could get too far away, a grabbed her hand and pulled her towards me. Christina struggled to shake my hand off, but I wasn't even trying.

"You are so cute!" I laughed, pulling her face closer to mine.

She really was stunning, I wasn't flirting simply for the fun of it. Christina's dark brown hair went down to her waist. Right now, her hair was pulled back in a braid. She had shining grey eyes that perfectly complemented her pale skin.

I leaned in a little further and right before my lips touched hers, I was abruptly pulled back by the shoulder.

I released Christina's hand and turned angrily. Standing right behind me was, none other than, Yuki Yamazai.

"What's the matter Yuki?" I grinned. "You jealous?"

"Heck no." She replied. "I'm simply looking out for Christina."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I don't want Christina to be involved with a jack wagon like you. And she was obviously trying to get away from you."

"Watch your language, Yuki!" I gasped.

"Imbecile!" She replied, rolling her eyes at me.

"I'll get that kiss later." I say to Christina, telepathically.

"Please, don't." I heard her think to myself.

"What's that? Did you say 'please do'?" I replied through the telepathic link.

I turned, smiled at Christina, and left.
