Training

*Shizuma*

I love Yuki and all. But sadly, he has a little problem. He�s always getting bullied around by the jerks at school. They keep trying to beat him up. I don�t like it one bit. I always have to come to the rescue. I love Yuki to death, but this has got to stop. He needs to stand up and fight back. And I�m going to help him do it!

I know it takes a while to get it all down pact. But school starts next week, so I�ll have to hurry long enough to get have through the basics. On Saturday, I came by my love�s door. I slowly creaked the door open a little bit. My love was still asleep. I smiled to myself sentimentally. Yuki is so cute when he is sleeping. I forced myself to focus again. Today, Yuki becomes a man! I straightened myself up and quietly went into his room. I stood in the doorway. I braced myself for the charge. I counted backwards in my head. �5,� I thought. �4, 3, 2, 1!� I raced forward and leapt up onto the bed. My love awoke with a loud yelp.

�Hey!� he yelled out. Yuki was trying to get up, but I wouldn�t let up. I looked down at him smiling. He is so cute when he is trying to get away from me when I do this to.

�Good morning!� I said to him. Yuki finally managed to push the sheets away from his face and look at me. He was panting like a mad man.

�Don�t do that!� he yelled to me. I just laughed at him.

�Why?� I asked.

�Because!� he said aloud. Then, my love just went silent. Then we both laughed aloud. I love his laugh. It can turn a shitty day into a great one! After we got all of that out of our systems, I became serious again.

�Get your lazy ass out bed!� I ordered. My love looked at me confused.

�Huh?� he asked. �What for?� I smiled at him brightly.

�We have training today!� I answered boldly. Yuki was really confused now.

�Training?� he asked. �Training for what?� I leapt off of the bed and threw him some clothes.

�No time to talk!� I said replied. �We�ve got work to do!� Then I made it over to the door. I looked over my shoulder and saw that my love was still sitting in bed.

�Well come on!� I called again. �Get up! Get a move on!�

�Okay, okay,� I heard him mumbling. Then he got out of bed. I smiled to myself.

�I�ll be downstairs waiting,� I informed him. �Don�t disappoint me.� Then, I left the room.

Within a few minutes, Yuki and I were in the backyard. My love turned to me looking confused.

�Okay Shizuma,� he said to me. �What was so urgent that you had to drag me out of bed so early in the morning?� I turned to him smiling.

�Today, I�m going to teach you how to defend yourself against attackers!� I announced. He looked at me with wide-eyed shock. I kept my smile. �Come on,� I said. �I just can�t stand seeing you getting beat up by those jerks at school. I love you, but I can�t always come to your rescue all of the time. So, I�m going to time you how to fend for yourself. Okay?� I noticed something strange about my Yuki. He was actually� crying! Not the sad type either. My love was overjoyed. He leapt forward and hugged me tightly.

�Oh thank you! Thank you!� Yuki cried to me. I just shook my head smiling.

�There, there!� I replied. �Let�s get to work, shall we?�

�Right,� my love said. Then he let go of me and we got straight to work.

�Okay,� I said. �Come at me as hard as you can!� My love was looking at me confused again.

�Are you sure you want to do that?� Yuki asked me.

�Come on, do it!� I said. �Come at me as fierce as you can!� Yuki still didn�t look too sure.

�But�� he said uneasily.

�Just do it!� I yelled to him.

�Fine,� my love sighed. Then he charged forward at me. I smirked to myself richly. �Just as I suspected!� I thought to myself. When he got close, I gracefully dodged him and flipped him straight down onto his back without any warning. When I was done, I stood of Yuki looking down at him. He looked up at me with a blank stare in his eyes.

�Uh�� my love said to me completely lost. �How did you do that?� I smiled at him kindly.

�I saw your moves,� I answered him. �That�s the one drawback of you humans. I may not train you to be as strong as a demon like me, but I can at least get you strong enough so that you don�t get beaten up too often. But only if you don�t complain. Okay?� My love nodded in slightly pain and shock.

�Good,� I said. �Here, let me help you up.� I gave him my hand and he took it. I gracefully pulled him up to his feet. And so the training began. Yuki was slow to learn at first. But within day three, my boy caught on quickly. I was pretty impressed with him myself. Who knew that such a young thing could deliver such great power? He could even give me a run for my money. My love was pretty strong for a human.

The first week went by smoothly. It was time for the first test. Yuki and I stood before each other smiling. My love and I practiced for this all week. I smirked at his pretty face.

�Ready to do this?� I challenged Yuki.

�Hell yeah!� he replied.

�Okay then,� I said to him. �Bring it on!� And our first test duel began. Yuki impressed me once again. He had done so well in the first week. So much so that I couldn�t really keep up with him that much. (I cheated a little bit by going easy on him to let him win this time. But also because I was really so impress that I was caught off guard.) He won when he blocked my final blow. My love smiled at me brightly.

�I won!� he said to me happily. I smirked at him at first. Then, I snickered. He raised his eyebrow at me.

�Shizu-kun?� he asked me. �What�s so funny?� I didn�t answer him. I just kissed him on the lips sweetly. Surprised, my love kissed me back happily. We stayed like that for a good ten minutes. Then, I lightly pulled away from him smiling.

�What was that for?� he asked me. I shrugged at him lightly.

�For passing this week�s test,� I replied. �You are ready for school now.� Yuki just smiled and kissed me again. I kissed him back. Oh yes! My love was definitely ready for school.
