"He isn't. He told me so...plus, he would have attacked me or something, if he as one of them!", she said

"Well, anyway, Whats he doing fallowing you anyway?"

"He's following me because I told him he could stay with us for a while.", She said putting her hands in her pockets.

"what?!?"

"Don't start with me. He's a good friend, alright?", she said,.

Finally by the time Hikaru had made it far enough away from the hotel; he stopped in a large plain of grass as he looked right on around himself. The area he was at was a bit unfamiliar to him, this was really bad. Most of the time he always knew where he was; but at this point he was more lost than anything else. So much for going back to the temple where it was safe. Giving a little sigh of annoyance he placed his own index and middle finger toward his forward and rubbed it gently. Truly, this was annoying to figure out that he had gotten lost so easily. So as he began to walk through the large plain of grass on his own, Hikaru's own monk staff tapped itself into the ground everytime he took a step forward. Soon enough he came to a stop as he noticed how he came to the border outside Tokyo's city limits. With his own eyes widened up to see the city he gave a nervous little smile to himself and shrugged off the thought. He was planning to come here anyway to see how the people acted within the city anyway. Although, right before he could take another step forward; a loud older male's voice came up telling him to stop. Turning his head around to the side only to see that there were about three males standing there he tilted his own head curiously. "Stop right there kitsune! You will travel no further! Because this is where you shall die!" the male in front spoke out as he drew his own katana. The three males were all from the Triad and they obviously knew Hikaru was a kitsune due to the fact that he had three tails and fox ears. Turning his entire body right around and frowning deeply, Hikaru just shook his head.

"Why are you letting him stay with you?"

"Im going to teach her how to fight from the Original Source " Ronin told the Kitsune.

".......Fine, Fallow us"

"He can stay because I said so..and because of that.", Ivy said before continuing to waljk to the house.

I fallow behind Ivy, and you could feel the tension of my body, as if I was prepared for anything.

"No one is going to attack you, relax.", Ivy said looking behind her and at Rinon

"Huh? I am relaxed"

"No your not...Don't lie.", Ivy said with a sigh. After a few more moments, they walked up to a gate which had the family crest on it. Behind the gates were a bunch of buildings, quite a few of them were training rooms and the places where the black smiths would work. Ivy opened the gate and walked in. "Come on.", she said. Ivy walked to a small building, it was about three times bigger then an average shed. "This is where I spend most of my time in...I guess you could say I live in it too. I fall asleep doing stuff in it a lot.", she said opening the door. Inside was a room with a bunch of book shelves packed with medical books and some regular books that were made to enjoy. There was also a little desk with a shelf with some herb jars and a mortar and pestle, on it.On the other side of the room was a small tv and a small mat like thing. That was Ivy's bed/chair. In the very back was a small bathroom that surprisingly had a bathtub in it. "Simple, but nice.", Ivy said plopping down on the mat that was in front of the TV.

Ronin was messing with everything, simply amazed "Wow! whats this thing? ohh whats that? Hey whats this black thing?"

"STOP! Don't touch anything!! Its all organized the way I wanted it to be! I'll tell you what everything is! Just quit acting like a little kid in a candy shop!", Ivy said taking Ronin's hand and leading him over to a chair.

" iv never seen stuff like this before, its amazing!"

"Not really, its all stuff that a lot of people have...I guess it is to you since you spent a lot of your lfe in the wild...", she said with a sigh

Ronin blushed a bit " Im being a fool right now am I?"

"Well...I guess. Its not like you meant to or anything, but...yeah.", she said shuffling a little bit

Ronin pulled out a Small Sword from his bag and put it in her hand "Until you can master the Basics of Sword fighting, this Little shortsword shall be your Training tool. You must learn to Start from scratch and work your Way to the top"

Ivy took the sword and sat it next to her. "Thanks..but wouldn't it be better if I used a bigger sword? I mean, wouldn't it help protect me a little more whenever we did a duel thing?", she said.

"That might not always be an option, you will have to use whatever you can to defend yourself when the time comes. Wether its a Stick or A Large Axe you need to be Prepared" He explained to her.

"I wont be fighting much, so I doubt I'll really need to learn how to use a bunch of weapons.", she said

"Thats why im going to teach you only Basic understandings of weapons that will fit you. Your more of the Thief and Healer type so you will carry a Short Sword or a Dagger in most situations."

"Thief?", Ivy mumbled to herself. She sighed, "Well, yeah thats what I carry around now. I don't know how to use my dagger well, though. Just for cutting stuff like plants or plastic wraps.".

"Yes but thats not the only thing your going to learn" He said, pulling out a Assortment of weapons "When im threw with you, you will know how to use a Shortsword, dagger, Spear, javilin, and bow and arrow
