21 Back home

A few days passed since we visited that place, I came back home with Maru after learning so many things, I'm not sure how we get teleported there, but it seems that Maru can get anyone close enough to him there too. He also isn't using the reverse summoning we saw in the anime as he can get in and out as he wishes.

I also feel relieved, I knew at some point I would have to learn Seju-art if I wanted to get really strong, and I've been worried about how to do that all this time. Now I finally have an easy way, it seems that the cat-clan also have their own Senju arts and way to train it, Tora explained that I needed a much larger amount of chakra pool before starting learning it, he said the bigger the pool, the easier it's to find a way to balance the two different energies making it a lot harder and riskier to master.

I lay in bed looking toward Maru who is looking through the window and sight loudly...

Kayle: "Well thanks... it's kinda late but you still let me know of your secret"

he looks towards me, give me a small shy smile, and says

Maru: "Don't worry about it...I also feel relieved that you know about it too now"

he then starts looking outside once more, making sure I couldn't see the drop of sweat on his forehead.

Maru: 'Should I tell him about everything?... Nah I'm pretty sure I'll get another beating.. and he will annoy me a lot more....'

As I lay thinking slowly about my next plans I slowly drift to sleep.

I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed, I quickly ate my breakfast with my parents and went to school once more, it seems that I will soon start sending a clone in my stead so I can train my body during the day, that's the most efficient way for me to get stronger as my clone can gain the knowledge I need from the Academy, while I keep improving my strength working out with Gaï.

I feel a little sad looking at my friend Shinji..., even if my clone will keep him company and I will get the memories at the end of the day, it still not the same thing... as the real me won't be there.

While I was eating deep inside my thoughts during lush, I heard Shinji speaking to me.

Shinji: * Blush *

Shinji: "Hey buddy, why do you keep looking at me like that... that creeps me out you know? I really appreciate you... but not in that way"

I almost choked on my Onigiri as I heard him say that...

Kayle: " *cough* *couch* Shinji ?...Why are you Gah?"

Shinji: ""
