Shaman Rurouni
Laura was slumped against the ground, shuddering as she took heavy breaths. Everyone asked if she was fine as Faust attended to her leg. After a few breaths, the teen sat up.
"Hell yeah... just sprained my leg..." the shaman said, tremors of pain in her voice. Faust helped her up, though she still tried to use her injured leg. "Don't," said Faust. "Walking on the sprain might cause more damage, and it will take longer to heal."
Laura sighed, a tad bit aggrevated. "Why should I let an injured leg slow me down?"
"Walking on the injured leg will slow you down."
"Laura growled, pissed. She wouldn't win an arguement with this doctor today about this sort of of thing. She would never win such an arguement. Faust helped the teenager into the house to treat her leg as Yohmei started to disperse the group. "Alright. Everything is done here. Return to you training.
Before Laura went into the house, though, Yoh was going to say something, but thought better of it. Better to have Laura take her frustrations out on something other than family.
Yohmei led Kenshin back to where the older shaman was teaching the rurouni how to create a shikigami... and in ways the rurouni had succeded. But now he was a little ruffled from the incident, and hence, could not remember what he was taught. Well, wouldn't remember it for a short while untill Kenshin's nerves had settled.
The rurouni just oro'ed a bit randomly to no one in particular.
***
The. Leaf. Was. Mocking. Him.
It laughed at his misfortune.
Kenshin glared at the leaf.
The leaf continued to mock.
'I did this before, that I did....' Kenshin thought as he continued to glare at the leaf.
The rurouni siged and began to try to creat the shikigqami again. He would master the shikigami again even if it killed him...
Okay... maybe not if it killed Kenshin... but he was going to master it!
Kenshin thought un-Kenshin like thought, pinning the blame on someone else... okay.. so it was someone elses fault... but still. 'This is Laura's thought, that it is... If she didn't fall off the roof.' Kenshin thought. He glared at the leaves as the mocked at his incapability.
WAIT ONE MINUTE!!! There was only one leaf... When did the others appear?! When did the leaf get reinforcements?
The leaves mocked and mocked and mocked and mocked and mocked and... well you get the picture. And after they were finished with their mocking, they mocked some more!
Kenshin was getting angry.
He glared at the leaves.
They were going down!
***
Kenshin sighed as he cleaned another cut.
He had managed to master the shikigami. Almost. They had appeared, but the leaves obviously weren't done mocking, because they turned on Kenshin. He fought them, but there was obviously no match. Kenshin got beaten by his own creation. And after the fight, the leaves returned to normal.
And mocked the rurouni
"Never use leaves that mock for shikigami, de gozaru..." Kenshin said to hiself.
Laura heard as she made her way to the sofa at a painstakingly slow rate, using cruches, as she was not allowed to use her bad leg. "Don't worry," she said. "Everyone learns that the hard way. She then dissapeared into the depths of the living room.
Kenshin siged, taking car of the last few cuts that he had to take care of, and went to do a chore that was very familiar to him: cooking. He had volentarily decided to take Yoh's job, as the rurouni needed something familiar to him, after all. House hold chores were familiar, and that would keep his mind off of things.
***
Yoh sighed happily as he sat on the couch, his head phones on his head, listening to his music. Being able to take a break was great. He felt a little bit normal again, being able to be lazy for a short while. Next to him sat Laura, who was busy writing something, more than likely a yaoi.
"What's up, Yoh-yoh?" Laura called her cousin. Yoh glared at her.
"Don't call me that..." Yoh stuck his toung out at the name.
Laura put on a face of mock hurt, sniffing a little to make herself seem more like the victim. "I thought you loved that name!" she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. Yoh rolled his eyes. "Besides," stated Laura. "I've called you that since forever. You can't make me change my ways."
"That's just like you." Yoh stated. "You were the most stubborn person I know. Still are.
Laura grinned childishly. "Ya got that right. No way you can change me." Both teenagers laughed. Both of them seemed to be feeling normal at the moment, as if they didn't have to deal with the rigors of shamanism. Amidamaru, Hitaka, and Tora watched from thier tablets, not coming out, allowing both teens to have their rare moment of normalicy, as psychotic both seemed to be with their laughing at nothing at all..
Hell knows the next thing both would be doing would be defending themselvs against the others, though they seemed to be somewhere else at the moment.
All seemed good.
Suddenly, there was a loud crash of pans, and an oro. Yoh went to see what was going on in the kitchen. Kenshin was admidst a pile of pots and pans whom, unfortunatly for the rurouni, had decided to bury. Yoh help Kenshin clean the mess.
"Arigatou, Yoh." Kenshin said and went back to cooking.
"You're welcome!" Yoh said. "Oh, and one more thing, Grampa says he want's to see you about your classes you'll be taking after dinner."
"Oro?"
Yoh smiled a bit slyly. "Next week, when school starts, you're going, scince you look young enough to be Laura's long lost brother." and with that, Yoh walked off to the couch.
"Orororoooooo...." stated Kenshin. While he wasn't looking, at cat had snuck in, and made it's way to the food the rurouni was preparing. Making sure Kenshin didn't see, it took a fish, and darted for the door, but slamed it's head against the door itself. It looked up to see violet eyes staring back; Kenshin had caught the cat red handed!...errr.... paw!
"Hey you!" Said Kenshin. "That's for dinner, I'll have you know! You'll give it back right now, if you please!"
Back in the living room, Yoh and laura heard Kenshin waging war against the cat.
"HEY!"
"NROW!"
"GIVE IT BACK!"
*CRASH!*
"MREW!"
"LET GO!"
*CLANG!*
"HEY!"
"MRORW!"
"OW!"
Laura just sighed and You and herself laughed. "Baka." She stated. both teenagers amusement were about to be cut short, for there was a knock at the door.
Yoh answered it. "Hello, may I..." The shaman stopped in mid sentance.
In front of him stood Kalim and Sylvia.
"You weren't at your house, so I thought you would be here." stated Sylvia. "Is the new shaman here?"
