The Power of Seven

Chapter Seven


****Day Two****

Rin tried doing what Yomi was asking of her but found it hard to do so. Calling energy into both her hands at one time was hard, she'd managed to do it over an hour ago. He told her it wasn't good enough because she wasn't distributing the energy out equally. Her right had was containing most of it, leaving her left almost empty. A frown crossed her face when he said to stop and begin again. She did as he instructed but didn't mean she liked it. A sigh escaped her mouth, she was hungry.

He'd woken her up right before dawn to start their training. He hadn't come in the room all night having slept somewhere else or spent the night with someone. It had to be past noon already, he hadn't allowed her to leave to eat. Going without food usually made her cranky. Her stomach was growling loud enough, there was no way he didn't hear it with six ears. The energy entered her hands once more, still uneven. "Rin can't do it."

"Yes, you can. You will stand there until you get it right even if it takes all day and night." Yomi frowned, feeling uneasy for some reason. Something was nagging at him, he couldn't place it. "I'll be back later to check up on you Rin. Stay here and practice until I return. You are not to leave this room until you are able to do as I instructed. If I find you gone and you have yet to master it I will be displeased." He grinned when she stuck her tongue at him but nodded towards him. He could hear something on the outskirts of town, the strange noise was bothering him.

Rin frowned when the door shut, atleast she'd be able to do it on her own pace. She focused on her right hand first, trying to get them even one at a time. Getting the power stable was hard also, then she brought the other hand up. Whenever she tried to raise the power of one, it would surpass the other and she'd have to repeat the process. Why couldn't he have her try something else? This wasn't any fun and too hard for her.

Genkai dodged the blast Yusuke sent at her, it barely missing her arm. He was taking it easy on her she knew, it was to be expected. He was no longer the kid that had showned up at her doorstep. She wasn't as strong as she was once either. Only gotten half of her energy back after twenty years, she needed more time to get to where she once was. She shot her own blast at him, the blue energy was swatted aside with a wave of his hand. "Brat."

"What's the matter Grandma? Finally realize that you can no longer kick my ass? Sucks to be you doesn't it.." He lost his smile when she suddenly appeared before him. His face contorted in pain as her small knee slammed into his crotch. He was sure she'd kneed him hard enough to send his nutts into his lungs.

"Yes, you may be correct Yusuke but never forget that you are still a man. There is a way to bring you down no matter how powerful you are." She mocked him, wondering how he felt now. He'd have to learn that in battle one didn't stop to take the time to brag to their opponent. "Get up, I didn't hit you that hard."

Yusuke reached out and grabbed her foot yanking her leg out from under her. She made no noise as she landed on her back in front of him. He moved to sit on her short legs before she could catch her breath. He grabbed her fists as they swung at his face and pinned them above her head. "You might not be a man but I just brought you down. That really hurt dammit, I might want to get an erection in the future."

"I'd probably be doing the woman a favor by fixing that problem. If you fuck like you fight then I feel sorry for your partners." Genkai shot back, trying to find a way out from under him. He was a small man compared to most but had to weigh three times as much as she. He was sitting right above the knees leaving her with no leverage in order to kick him. "Get off me Yusuke."

"Nah, I kind of like you this way. I never realized how small you are, you're tiny." He looked over her face to see her lips spread slightly in aggitation, she was getting angry at being held down. Her long hair was plastered to her face, the longest he'd ever seen it. She'd had it braided at the begining of the match, ending in the middle of her back. Now strands of silky pink hair was clinging to her cheeks, he reached out to remove them with his free hand. Her struggles stopped, worry and confusion crossed her features. Once again he let his hand travel down her pale cheek, wondering why touching her was effecting him.

Genkai wasn't sure if she should panic or be excited, her body was voting on the latter. The feel of him caressing her felt good, longing was begining to stir deep inside her. It had been so long since she'd felt a man's touch spending most her years in solitude. Her eyes closed when his head began to lower, his mouth coming closer. Was he going to kiss her? Her lungs constricted, her body failing to breathe as she waited. Only a few inches seperated them, "Yusuke?"

His name whispered over her lips caused his blood to stir, desire raced in his veins. The need to taste her became too strong, he closed the distance between them. The first contact was light, brushing of their lips. He went back for a second taste applying more pressure, she reacted and returned the chaste kiss.

A knock sounded at the door pulling them apart. He jumped to his feet and held out his hand to her which she accepted. "Come in." Yusuke growled out wanting to kill whomever it was. Yomi came in with Mukuro at his side, "Something the matter?"


Sango was going to kill the bastard, he was being a dick on purpose. She was focusing the power like she'd been instructed but he wasn't happy. He kept his disapproval to verbal insults. His movements were jerky, she felt like telling him to leave. The next time he called her a bitch she was going to ignore all her better instincts and attack him.

Shura yelled at her again, he sighed in annoyance. The girl wasn't trying, just to piss him off, he knew she could do better. It was all there for him to see, she just wasn't trying hard enough. If she took the energy she was using to glare daggers at him and focused on the task at hand they could call it a day. He wasn't in the mood for this today, his father had not long stopped by. Seemed their worst nightmare had begun, those creatures were begining to feed. His father had heard strange noises outside of town which ended up being them tearing the flesh and meat off of some youkai they'd killed. His father went to inform everyone then him and Mukuro were going back out to make sure everyone was on alert.

To top it all off Kichi was being a bitch. He couldn't blame her, no woman wanted to share her mate with a human. He couldn't help the circumstances, she'd known them before entering the bond. He tried to explain to her that it was just until the threat was over then they'd never have to see the human girl again. Kichi still refused to share his bed as long as Sango was there. Which meant he had to go without, atleast from his mate. "Do it again, focus this time."

"Go to hell, I'm tired of you yelling at me." Sango decided to put her foot down. She knew he was angry because he'd gone to bed alone last night. That woman had refused to come back with him. Not that she could blame the woman, who'd want him? "Don't take your anger out on me. It's not my fault your woman won't let you bed her. From what I heard I don't blame her, I wouldn't let you touch me either."

"If she refuses my bed it's because of your human stench that fills the room. Let me also point out I don't need you to allow me to do anything. Need I remind you that you belong to me? If I got desperate enough and decided that I needed to fuck your ugly ass then you couldn't stop me from doing so." He saw her flinch at the insult and back up from him. Anger crossed her face, her hand came out to strike him. He caught the wrist, being prepared for the attack. "I don't think so."

Sango swore as he jerked her towards him, his hand fisted around her pony tail. "Let go of me, you disgust me." He grinned before crushing his mouth against hers. She made a desperate attempt to push him away with her free hand. His strength was far superior to hers, she had no choice but to submit. She closed her eyes hoping he'd let up on the vicious assualt.

Shura felt her relax against him, he let up. The scent of blood filled his nose coming from the cut on her bottom lip. He applied enough pressure to cause the pink morsel to grind against her teeth. His tongue snaked out to clean up the mess. She moaned at the touch, opening her mouth in astonishment. He dipped inside exploring, searching for her slick muscle. Her body stiffened against him when he found it, a shiver ran down his spine feeling the warmth.

Sango could feel him licking inside her mouth, trying to coax her tongue into responding. She felt him glide gently over her, teasing it into action. His hold tightened on the hair wrapped around his fist as she gave in. She shyly met him halfway. A strange sensation began to form in her stomach, thousands of butterflies had to be dancing around in the pit of her stomach.

Shura pulled away from her mouth to gaze at the swollen lips. His member was already swollen with need and he'd only kissed her. Just the taste of her mouth was enough to excite him. What was wrong with him? He hadn't gotten off the other night, that had to be it. His body was still in need, he'd go take care of that now. There was no way he could possibly desire this human girl.

Sango sighed in relief when he released her, only to turn and walk out. She sank to the floor when the door shut behind him. What was wrong with her? She'd actually enjoyed that near the end. Must be from the lack of sleep, maybe she should call it a day.

Rin groaned in defeat, where was he? She was hungry and tired, plus she didn't like being alone. She'd only left the room long enough so she could use the bathroom then went back to work. After working all day she was able to get them even seperately but not at the same time like he wanted. His voice had been heard in the hall several times along with the freaky woman's.

Rin had hoped he was finally coming to check up on her but the voice had continued to walk down the hall. How dare he leave her all day to run off with that half woman? She couldn't train herself, the jerk. Her legs were killing her, she really needed to sit down but knew if he came in and found her that way he'd be upset. He told her that standing was the best way, why she had no idea.

Her stomach growled to voice her anger at him. She doubted the others got left alone like this. She almost jumped when the door finally opened, Yomi came walking in. The look on his face told her to keep silent, he was pissed. "Evening my lord." Her head bowed showing him the proper respect.

"Have you been able to master it yet?" Yomi waited for her answer, he sensed her head shake negatively. He didn't have time to sit with her all day now. Those creatures were begining to feed, he had to make sure everyone stayed inside the city. Extra patrols were being organized now to search for those missing. "Fine, head straight to bed. Get some rest, you'll be up early in the morning to start again."

Rin didn't argue with him, he was upset about something she could feel it. "Yes, my lord." She walked past him into the hall, all the other doors were shut the lights out. Seemed everyone else had already retired for the night. She wanted to turn around and demand to know if he'd actually forgotten about her. Instead, she walked back to the room while he turned to go in another direction, probably back to that half lady.
