Chapter 4: Master
The old man smiled down at the kneeling Tokusen, "Ahh, it is so good to see you again my students."
"Students!?" Yusuke, Kurama, Kuwabara, an even Hiei said together in unison.
"Master, it's an honor to see you again." Myou said. "Master! Master! I can't wait to show you how stroung I've become-" "Nishiki! Shh!" Kokoro whispered to Nishikiand he bowed his head back down. Thier master(the old man) laughed, "Stop kneeling. Get up off the ground so I can have a good look at all of you." Master said with a smile and the others did as told and stood up straight. First he went to Myou, "I see you still carry a kind heart, and you have gotten strounger in your journies." Myou smiled and bowed. Then Master walked to Takeshi, "Hmm...Still have your traidmark attitude, don't you." He laughed but Takeshi frowned, "Do not worry, it can be a good thing if you use it wisely." Master said, then walked to Karina, "Ah, Karina! Wounderful! Like everyone else, I see you have grown. Both in height and strength. When I last saw you, you were but a child as were the others." Master said and Karina smiled and blushed in glee. Master walked to Nishiki next, but before Master could say anything, Nishiki broke in, "Master! Master! I've become strounger since last! Truely I have! I can't wait to show you my new powers!" The young boy said egerly. Master laughed, "You still are as egar and playful as ever. If I'm not mistaken, when I first saw you, you were but an infant." Master said. "Yeah! Remeber? You saved me from the river!" "Yes I remeber. Even after that you were as happy as ever." Master smiled at him. Then he patted Nishiki on the head and walked to Kokoro. "Your much more beautiful then last. Even as a child you still held the element of beauty, Kokoro. I see you still have a firm hold on it. As do you keep a stroung mind and spirit." Master said and Kokoro smiled and laughed a bit. Finally he stopped at Rika and looked her over for a moment. "My my, how you've grown." he said.
Yusuke leaned over a little to whisper to the others(Kuwabara and Kurama), "Too easy."
[
In making fun of Rika's height Yusuke means.]
"So much about you has changed. When you were small, your heart and soul were dark, broken, and vengful. Now I see....a yough lady who's heart is healing and newly found emotions fill it. Your soul is lively. Though I still see a very slight hint of a disire for revenge and your dark feelings mask over you because of your past." Master said as he walked arouns her and studied her constantly as thought looking through her. Rika just staired at him in awe. Then he did something rather amazing, "Your like...a black dove, my dear." Master curled his fingurs into his palm, then uncuring them again to show a black dove sitting in his hand. "You are chained to a certain place if I'm not mistaken. Your emotions and heart are still healing. So you are not yet able to be free like you wish." He held the dove up to the sky, but it reamaind in his hand, as though stuck. Then he brought it back up close to him and took out a white cloth from his pocket. Then he began stroking the dove with it, "But....if you wait, and train hard on it..." As he said this, it appeared as though the black coloring of the doves wings dissapeared and showed white. "You can get what you wish." He said as he finished whipping off the dove to show it's feathers were white now. He held it to the sky again, and it flew away.
Everyone staired for a moment. Then Master turned back to them, "Well, I suppose we should get started." Then he turned and started to walk away. Kokoro blinked, "Get...Started
? Oh what, Master?" "Weeelll....I have a project I'm working on. You...as for the rest of you....Train." Master said looking over his shoulder. "Train?" Nishiki questioned. "Yes...Battle with each other. Train for the next few days, you'll need it. Oh...and one more thing. No one's allowed in the cabin." Master pointed to it. Everyone just stared and blinked. Master laughed, "Have fun..." he said as he faded into the darkness of the cabin, closing the door behind him. Myou stared with a dumb look on his face, "Master's acting..." "A bit weird..." Kokoro finished up for him. "More like he's getting senile." Takeshi said and Myou hit him over the head. "OW!! WHAT WAS THAT FOR!!?" Takeshi scowled, rubbing the new bump on his head. "Master may be acting strangely, but that's no excuse to me disrespectful, Takeshi." Myou stared.
