Re: Vehemence of a Warrior [PL]

[Toshio Katsuo]

As Toshio’s punch connected it did so with Youkou blocking it. The sheer force of power behind it though pushed back the young girl a couple of feet. He watched as she used her own strength to push his arm down and block his next punch attack. As he had stepped back he noticed that her power again started to rise. He then read her facial expression, as ‘this is not unacceptable’. He wasn’t completely sure she was talking about his attacks, however he still thought she was. He then watched as he caught his kick with just one hand. His face changed to that of a shocked expression How…how did she do that? Such speed…such power… the sheer power of his kick had started to produce wind and everything that was not bolted down or restrained heavily flew to the woman’s left. She had matched his power with that most recent power up. He was completely astonished. Toshio then heard he speak.

”I won’t raise my power level any higher than this!”

He could tell that her voice was aggressive; he then noticed her grip had started to lesson on his leg. He didn’t know what to do. He then watched her reach his hand toward his right shoulder. Something wasn’t right. He watched as she tried to muster some words but none came out. Something definitely wasn’t right. His memory then flashed back to her telling him about her demon. Their power could immensely increase if they were to unfold that lid they hampered them. Toshio didn’t want that to happen. When he powered up with his kaioken, he only wanted to increase the sparring event. He would not use it to purely win not in a sparring match, no that part of him was long gone. He then started to power down to his former self, his muscles decreasing in size until they were back to normal size.

He then grabbed a hold of Youkou and pulled her into a hug. He had to keep the demon lid shut; he didn’t want to put neither of them in any real danger, especially when it could possibly involve his students. Toshio then spoke in a soft whisper where she could hear him.

”It’s okay Youkou. The spar is over. You need not try any harder. You did well. It’s going to be alright miss Youkou.”

He tried his best to calm her down so as she wouldn’t become enraged and pop the top off her demon lid. He didn’t want to mention her demon for fear of it making the situation worse. He would just continue to hug her in hopes that would calm her down and she would power down. He didn’t have a monster inside of him that he had to endure everyday so he didn’t know what it was like. He did know struggle though, and demon or no demon that was sure enough a struggle. He would do his very best to make sure that demon lid stayed shut.

Yoko's emotionally betwixt hand was reached out as her enervated body moved toward Toshio. She was only inches from placing her hand on his robust shoulder when his body mass had reverted back to its standard appearance of normality. What happened next caught Yoko completely of guard. Her balance shifted Toshio had swept her against him. Her eyes enlarged and her bounteous angelic voice was still nonexistent, like a frightened little girl falling into her fathers arms Yoko landed in Toshio's tranquil yet well-built arms. Her petite hand that she reached for Toshio's shoulder with was still outward. His arms then completely enveloped her lifeless like body. Yoko's face was now pressed into his rocky chest. Her eyes slowly shut as both of her arms became flimsy and limp hanging like an inanimate object.

Yoko wanted to lower her power level but due her inability to fully control her strong urges, they continued to call to her. The vexatious voice of her dark side was quiet but its presence could easily be felt. A sudden Calmness traveled through out her limp body. Her small strong arms rose as she began to hug Toshio as well. At first her grasp was light and almost unwilling but she quickly started to hug him tighter Pushing her face harder into his rocky chest While a single tear formed in her eye.

"He can't be trusted, I don't like him......His' holding you back from what ........ "

The vexatious voice started to soften in volume and harshness as did her power level. The tear began to run down her right cheek rolling over the edge of her upper lip then changing direction marginally, it rolled down to her chin. dripping of her chin it fell to her shirt leaving a small but noticeable darker stain due to the wetness of the spot on her shirt. Shaking her head she used Toshio's tunic to wipe the tears steam away. A smile came to her face, still standing there motionless she turned her head to the left and started to speak softly.


"The thing I fear most is fear, but fear is exciting for me"

Yoko then forced herself away, placing her small hand on his firm chest making distance between both of them her eyes now focused on her feet, she was now back to her normal state. Her smile was now gone, she had just fully thought about what had happened she had just hugged Toshio, she could even bear to look him in the eyes. "Oh My Gosh I hugged him....but..no..wait he hugged me first so why should I be nervous? I just was ahhh was caught in the moment...yeah that's it caught in the moment yeah ha ha yeah!

Yokosmall hands now hid behind her stiffened back as she twirled her thumbs. Her eye still burning a hole into the mat, she was not to sure what had happened but she felt that it shouldn't have happen. Yoko may have need it at the moment but all she thought about was the future and her dark side. If this had happened to in a sparring match it would clearly happen again and who was to say she wouldn't lose control, who to say the power is a bad thing wait did I just think that?

[Toshio Katsuo]

As he continued to hug and comfort her like a father would his child. Even though he had only known hew a few day’s, he still felt like a father to her. She had lost her family when she left her home world leaving her all alone. He had never known true loneliness but he knew the concept of fatherhood. The kids he taught at this school were like his children, and he was certain that they felt like he was their father. He didn’t have a blood son or daughter, no but he had children he though of as his own. He felt that Youkou was one of them. He felt as though she needed a father figure in her life in order to control or help control that demon inside of her. He knew she was powerful without the need of the demon. He could help draw out her natural power, not her demented power.

He felt her grip tighter on his hug and the looked down at her face while still embraced and say a tear form. He watched the tear roll down her face and connect with her shirt. He watched as she wiped the tear stream away on his shirt. As a smile appeared on her face, one appeared on his. He then listened to her as she spoke softly.

"The thing I fear most is fear, but fear is exciting for me"

He pondered on this for a few seconds. She fears fear but at the same time it excites her…it has to be the demon and the power she must get when she opens that lid. Anybody in his or her right mind always wants more power…but that power usually comes at a price. That price most of the time was not worth the power. He watched as she pushed herself away from him and placed a hand on her chest. He was confused at first until it had finally hit him. The look on his face at that moment was priceless.

Oh no no no no..I hope she didn’t think that hug meant anything…. that was suppose to be a father thing…oh no oh dear…oh dear..don’t just stand there Toshio say something He tried to find the words to speak, his mouth moving awkwardly.…anything…anything at all… Toshio.. He mouth continued to move awkwardly as he tried to find the right words to say. He was quite embarrassed.

”So…the weather looks nice outside…

He awkwardly looked away scratching his head. Good job jackass. You just made it more awkward...way to go. He wouldn’t be surprised if she left and never came back. What he had said seemed more terrible seeing as how there were no windows in his office at all…He truly was not good when he was under pressure from a woman. If he had a big flaw, that was most certainly it.

[cerealciller]

”So…the weather looks nice outside…

Yoko's face was now covered with a look of confusion, her soft narrowed light blue eyes left the mat at what she once stared upon. She knew she heard what he had said, but she was not sure she had heard him right. The weather looks nice out? she thought to herself. Her eyes focused on the wall to her right then the wall to her left not a single window could be seen. She quickly glanced behind her nothing at all was there. Yoko's eye's fell back to the mat. The only wall left is behind him her eyes ran up the mat to the point where the wall at the mat meet. The calf's of Toshio's legs could be see by her as she scanned left in right. Her eyes moved up slowly as she continued looking for a window. Her eyes passed by his knees then his waist. She blushed a tad as her eyes quickly moved to his stomach then chest. Like a ripe fully grown apple her face turned even more red than before.

I was right there, he pulled me right there, she looked way hoping to take her mind off of the thought. Yoko continued to scan the wall, there was no window anywhere in the room. Her eyes then locked with his, she stood her ground. I can't look away It will just make things seem worse, what do I say I mean I can't see out side, but I guess he can......wait if he can see out side then her can see through walls.....if he can see through walls.... She paused; Toshio still looking at her. Yoko slowly began to hug herself tightly as she turned her body away for Toshio. She looked like she had seen a ghost. At first she softly bit her lip before she couldn't help but to open her mouth wider.

He can see me......HE CAN SEE THROUGH MY CLOTHES.....the the the that's why he hugged me. she thought to herself as she shook her head back and forth in disbelief. "I told you he can't be trusted!" A low strong dark menacing whisper could be heard in Yoko's mind. "Every one you have ever know who you trusted is gone, But I'm still here. All you have to do is listen to what I say and you will never see harm come to you again."

The dark voice continued after taking a short pause "See him see the way he's looking at you, that's why I don't like him he has been watching you like that the whole fight. Think about it! He is a man, that's what men do! So walk up to him punch him in the gut tell him you hate him and NEVER COME BACK!



Yoko eyes became even more slanted than before she looked as though she was mad. Her hand which were grasping on to each on of her arms slowly turned into two fist. Her mouth closed only for a second before she started to run toward Toshio. "Yes Yes Do it!" As Yoko stepped with in reaching distance of Toshio she screamed as loud as she could changing direction and dashing right to the door. She slung the door up and disappeared into the hall wall. The sound of her feet hitting the floor could be heard for a few more seconds before becoming silent.

[Toshio Katsuo]

Toshio turned his head back to look at her and saw her scanning the room, most likely looking for a window. Oh dear...Toshio you seemed to have made the girl confused. Good job. This is most certainly the best situation you’ve even been in. Toshio was of course joking with himself. He then noticed as her eyes seem to scan him and watched as her face got as red as a clown’s nose, his eyes then widened. Oh no…she thinks I’m into her…Oh…that’s definitely not good…I have to say something that denounces that… As he tried to find the right word, he watched as her eyes met his. He then watched her hug herself and then turn away.

Huh? Why is she doing that? What’s going on through her mind?” He then continued to watch her as her hands started to form into fists. He was taken back when she started to run toward him. Toshio honestly didn’t know what to do. He just continued to stare, his face showing a confused expression. He watched as she got within feet of him, screamed at the top of her lung, changed direction and ran out of his office. He just stood there with a shocked expression on his face. What the hell just happened? Should I go after her? What should I do… Toshio stood there for a few more seconds. He had come to a decision. He slowly put two fingers to his forehead and within a few seconds vanished.

His body appeared several yards in front of the running Youkou. Youkou stopped in her tracks and looked up at Toshio. His face had a serious look and when he spoke, his voice had a serious tone to it.

“Miss Youkou, What is or was running through your mind, if it’s what I think it is. Then you’re sadly mistaken. I do not see you as that, I see you more as a daughter. Just like my student’s here, I care for you but in a different way you might think. My intentions are to try and help you gain control over your demon to where you never have to rely on it. It’s been nice to have you here the past few days. I’ve come to care for you like my students. Your troubles have brought you here, to this planet and to my school. I would put my life on the line for you simply to the fact that I have a knack for protecting people. More so, if the person in danger is one whom I care deeply about. I look upon you like the daughter I’ve never had. I’m sorry if that makes you feel uncomfortable, but It’s how I feel and how I am. Now you’re welcome to run out of here and never come back, I’ll abide by that. However…it would deeply sadden me to see you do that. You seem old enough to make your own decisions without repercussions and you’re still free to do so now in my school. The choice is yours Miss Youkou. I do not want to impede your progress anymore than I already have.”

After finishing his little speech he stepped aside and waited to see what choice the young girl would make. Leave now and possibly never return or stay here and hope that she gets stronger both mentally and physically so she can take better care of herself. The choice was completely up to her and Toshio would abide by her decision whether it saddened him or not.

[cerealciller]

Yoko Looked up at Toshio who had just appeared in front of her. She had seen this before but thought it was a trick or something. she was now sure he was a Ghost, Oh how she hated ghost. slowly she took one step backwards one after another. Her emotion began to take over she was scared out of her mind. This was the worst thing that could happen now. She had just fought off her demon by running way from Toshio. But here he stood, why did he have to show up again. If only I didn't have to see him right now I could calm down and I would be alright.

Yoko then looked downward as she fell to her knees, Toshio then began to speak, nothing was heard by her. She was putting all her focus on fighting off her darkness. In a way it almost hurt to move, her Power level started to fluctuate jumping from the level at which they had just be fighting at back to normal. The cross helped her to even out energy output.

"Ghost...."

The only words she could muster as her forearms hit the floor. Lifting her right hand she started to bang it repeatedly on the ground each smash doing more and more damage to the floor. Yoko wanted To tell Toshio to say away but she could not now. It was far to late to try to hold a conversation. Her Power level had now far surpassed that of what is was in their spar.

What sound like a cry could be heard as Yoko started to stand. She slowly pushed herself off the ground as she covered her face. The sound could still be heard, but now it was way more pronounced. Her hands then dropped to her side as she walked toward Toshio. She was not crying but laughing, it was like He had just told a funny joke. She then stopped standing right next to Toshio she head turned to face looking him in the eyes. Her Purple eyes looked on at him like he was nothing more than a people in the road.

"Your humorous You make me laugh, I have mixed emotion with you, I wanna kill you but I can't I like you too much!"

Yoko turned her head back and continued to walk forward, she waved to Toshio and looked back out of the corner of her eye. "You're a good guy, I'm not running away I'm just saving us both...... When I get like this who knows how long i can contain myself.

At this stage she was in a mixed state her kind normal fun loving personality was mixed with her killer instinct. This was not a bad thing but it was not good either. She had only reached this point twice in her life that she could remember and both times she returned to normal without any problem. This time though Yoko felt it would be awhile before she returned to the way she was.

"I will return, But after I am sure you will not be in any danger around me. If we meet before then I can't afford to hold one of these chit chats we have." With that she walked out the door. A smile on her face, she had to go find some place to run down her energy. Deep down she what Toshio to follow but she knew it would not be in the best of either of their interest

[Toshio Katsuo]

As he spoke he watched as she started to back up one step at a time and soon was on her knees. He had heard her whisper ‘ghost’. This got him thinking. Ghost? Wha…oh. I never had explained to her my instant transmission technique. She must think I’m a ghost…that would explain a few things. He continued to watch as she repeatedly banged on the floor with her right hand. His cocked an eyebrow after noticing her power level start to go up. Is she powering up? Her power continued to rise and finally had stopped. It was greater than it was when they were sparring. His first and only thought was simple. It’s her demon.

He watched as a faint crying sound came from her. However as she stood up that same sound could be heard, yet it wasn’t crying. It was laughing. He watched as she started to walk toward him, her eyes had changed colors now. They were purple. She stopped when she was right beside him. He listened as she spoke up for the first time since his they were in his office.

"Your humorous You make me laugh, I have mixed emotion with you, I wanna kill you but I can't I like you too much!"

He watched as she continued to walk forward, she then turned back to wave at him and looked out of the corner of her eye and spoke once more.

"You're a good guy, I'm not running away I'm just saving us both...... When I get like this who knows how long i can contain myself.”

He then continued to listen as she spoke once more and told him that she would return and if they happened to meet again before she did return then she wouldn’t be able to have a conversation. Toshio’s mind ran wild with thoughts. Something tells me that the demon isn’t fully out…that the power within that ‘container’ that held the demon seemed to spill out from the lid that held it all in. She said she would be all right after a while...but I don’t trust any part of that demon. Whether it’s partly there or fully there. I won’t let harm come to Youkou. That demon didn’t have the most trusting voice. I know I promised not to follow Youkou if she decided to leave…but this isn’t Youkou. No not fully.

He watched as she walked out the door. If he was going to follow her, he had to keep his distance. She couldn’t fully away when he had his Instant transmission technique. He could find her anywhere. He had to keep an eye out for any change in her power level. That would determine if she was truly in danger or not. He wasn’t going to let that demon come fully out, even if it cost him his life. He had to make sure that it stayed mostly put. He was the only person in the entire world that knew what she was capable of and possibly the only person in the world who cared for her well being. He would wait until she got further away from the school before he would follow her. He called upon one of his assistants and told them that he was going out of the school for a while and to look over the kids there. The assistant agreed and told Toshio to be careful. He smiled and patted his friend on the shoulder.

”Since when am I not careful? If all goes well I’ll be back before you know it. Just take care of the student’s here."

And with that he put two fingers to his forehead once more and in the blink of an eye he was gone once more, leaving his assistant standing there by himself.
