"Here it is boys." Gateau says as he leads Terry and Kurama into the dojo.
"Thank you Mr. Mocha." Kurama says.
"No problem." Gateau replies, flexing for the beautiful redhead. "I'll be in my office if you guys need anything else."
He walks off and Kurama and Terry make their way to the centre of the room. Terry turns suddenly and waves.
"G'day Uncle Zohn!" he says cheerfully.
He turns back to Kurama.
"Are you ready caro?" he asks with a wicked grin.
Kurama looks at him warily.
"Yes." he replies.
"En garde!" Terry yells.
"This is karate." Kurama says wryly.
Terry waggles his eyebrows.
"But you still have to be on guard." he replies.
"Very true." Kurama agrees, and then attacks.
There is a flurry of movement almost faster than the eye can see as Terry and Kurama attack each other. Zohn watches in amazement, having never seen his nephew fight that fast before.
"They are quite excellent." comes a voice.
Zohn turns to see Othras floating in the doorway.
"Good day Principal." Othras says with a smile, though it's hard to tell on a dolphin. "Those two are good enough to go to the school on U-I mean, Pluto, that Cú Ceat went to. If she were here, she'd agree as well."
"I don't know, they're fighting kind of slowly." comes another voice.
Othras and Zohn turn to see Vash and Griffith there.
"I'm safe and sound." Vash says with a glum look at Griffith. "And they're slow."
Griffith nods in agreement.
"They're fighting slowly on purpose though." he adds.
Othras looks at him in disbelief.
"Are you sure?" she queries.
Griffith nods again.
"Yes, it's quite obvious that they're slow on purpose." he says as Vash nods in agreement.
Othras seems bemused.
"It seems that I have a lot more to learn from Cú Ceat than I thought." she says.
"Struth!"
Everyone turns their attention to the flashes of movement as Terry's shout is heard. Seconds later, Terry goes flying in the air and flips to land upright on the mat. Kurama blinks at him.
"We're going to be late if we don't leave now caro." Terry says.
Kurama nods. They head towards the door and blink as if noticing their audience for the first time.
"Hello Corporal." Terry says as he recognises Griffith from yesterday. "Don't worry, I'm not raping anyone today."
He flashes Griffith a quick grin.
"Bye Uncle Zohn!"
Terry and Kurama dash out the door. Griffith smiles.
"He lost on purpose. I like him even more." he says.
"Rape?" Zohn says, looking at Griffith for an explanation.
"Hey Othras, can that ice stop a bullet?" Vash asks idly.
"Yes." Othras replies.
"Can I try?" Vash asks.
"If you wish." Othras agrees.
She floats out to the middle of the mat and waits patiently for Vash. The red gunman pulls out his silver weapon and shots. This pulls Zohn away from Griffith's explanation of Terry's words. The bullet hits the ice and shatters into many fragments. Vash whistles, impressed.
"Thanks." he says to Othras.
"No problem." Othras replies.
"What's with all the noise?" Olga asks as she wanders into the room and looks at Zohn for an explanation. |
