She closed the door behind them with a huge smile on her face after hearing the news before the left the mudroom. Me-Me's face was totally red when she looked up at Nie-orya then she glared slightly at Sunny who was now sitting by Nie-orya's side. But it didn't last long before she started smiling at her because sometime she forgets things that she wants to tells her mother especially when it had her emotions stronger involved in them. "So you know what happened last night?" Asked Me-Me calmly as she was rubbing the back of her neck and looked at her with her blushing. "Take you time baby, I get some the tea then I'll tend to your arm which I know must be hurting you right now after dealing with Ikyo like you did last night." Said Nie-orya in a soft voice then she smiled at her before she went back into the kitchen. Me-Me wasn't that quiet for long after she came back and started to tell her adout everything from the beginning to the end that had happened last night. When they was finally finished they started looking for something to help Ikyo for when her power got out of her control like Ikyo was foretold of to happen to her even if it only help her a little it was better than nothing.
Ikyo and Na-Na was outside on the porch as her sister was talking to Nie-orya inside. "Thank you, Ikyo." Said Na-Na in a soft voice after she had she sat down onto one of the swings with a sligth smile on her face as she was looking at her. "No thank you Na-Na, if you didn't wake me up this early I don't think I would have enough energy to go through all that I just went through, I should be thanking Me-Me too." Said Ikyo calmly after she sat next to her and sat her hands in her lap after she grabbed one of her tail before she smiled slightly at her. Na-Na's face started turning red as she was trying not to laugh adout what she had seen that morning. "So you did seen us this morning." Said Ikyo in a low soft voice then she put her hands over her face in covering it in embarrassment. "Sunny told us everything earlier this morning." Said Na-Na calmly when she finally pulled herself together. "I don't know what happened to me to even explain it to you. All I can tell you is that I didn't know what I was doing and I can't remember all of it just pieces of my vision. Within it I seen my eyes had turned completely gold because of my powers. That is what I'm afraid of most, losing the person you have seen and got to know just because I can't control my other powers from my father's blood." Said Ikyo strongly then she started to hug herself in fear near the point that she was adout to cry. "Well let's try working on that right now, for your first lesson I want you to run to the training grounds by the river then after that we'll go over the rush of the spells to help with your training, but most of them I already know very well." Said Na-Na calmly after she got up and then pointed to the north side of the forest.
"Wh.. what's so hard about that, that's easy." Said Ikyo strongly as she rubbed the back of her neck as she was looking at where she was pointing. She was lost in thought as she was thinking about the river until Na-Na spoke. "But you have to get there before me or you won't like what I have planned for you. Here are the rules, you have to get there on foot and no jumping through the trees. This is going to help you see everything within your surroundings and use them to achieve your goal to get to me." Said Na-Na in a serious voice after she put her hand on her side. "What!!! How I'm I suppose to do that on foot?" Asked Ikyo sharply in surprise after she jumped up onto her feet. "Use your senses, listen, feel, smell, and look at your surrounding to find your way to me." Said Na-Na calmly after she crossed her arms then put her hand on her forehead and brushed her hair back. "Senses? How are they supposed to help me?" Asked Ikyo in a confused voice as she was looking at her with a eyebrow raised up at then she looked at the forest. "Just listen and you'll see." Said Na-Na in a soft voice then she started to head towards the forest. "Alright." Said Ikyo calmly after she started to met up with her at the forest with her looking un for sure adout what the point of this lesson was for as she was looking at the forest. "Okay, lets began." Said Na-Na calmly after Ikyo was standing beside her then she started running through the forest. "Hey!!" Said Ikyo loudly after she started to run after her after she snapped out of the daze she was in. "Try your best… not to get lost." Said Na-Na strongly back to her as she running farther into the forest.
This was hard for Ikyo because she wasn't use to traveling this way, since she been trying her best to avoid the ground since that day Nie-orya had found her within this same forest long ago. She didn't quite remember how she got all the cuts and bruise that day but she soon was going to find and a part of her mind wanted to know but the other didn't because it made her feel too scared after she tried to on her own before. She had been running for a while now and had to stop because she had lost sight of where Na-Na had gone. Everything in the forest looked so different from on the ground compared to her seeing it from the trees. All the noises she was hearing was starting to make her nervous as she was looking around then the noises started to sound like people yelling at her. As they got louder she crouched down onto the ground and covering her ears and had her eyes tightly closed, but the yelling seem to just get louder as she was frozen their speechless in fear for a moment. "I have to make this stop!! But how… how I'm I going to make this stop without using any of my powers." Said Ikyo strongly to herself then she started trying to think of a way to block out all the yelling she was hearing.
"Use you senses, that's what Na-Na said I can use, okay, but first I needed calm down my breathing before I have a attack out here." Said Ikyo in a low soft voice to herself then she looked up at the sky after she uncovered her ears. Everytime she felt a breathing attack coming onto her she would looked up at the clouds in the sky which seem to help her calm down. When she finally caught her breath and looked back down she seen a flash of people with torches and pitchfork in the forest which made her quickly jump up onto her feet and started to look around after they disappeared. Then she figured out it was just a lost memory adout what had happened to her all those years ago. She then pushed it out of her mind, she closed her eyes and started to listen to her heart beat then to her surrounding. When she got her breathing back under control she started to hear more clearly. When she did she started to hear what was making all the noises that had been make her so nervous and scared before. Her powers made her see what it was in her mind without even trying to use them. She saw a dear and a dow grazing in a patch of grass after they had stepped on some sticks. Then she heard a sound like knocking from one of the trees above her, which she saw was a squirrel trying to open up a nut he had found then she heard a rabbit jumping through some tail grass. Just then she could smell a familiar scent in the wind and seen Na-Na waiting for her, she then started to run in the direction she saw her. As she was running she heard the river and quickly stoppped after she noticed a young mother bear with two of her cubs making her hide behind a tree. When she looked back to see if they was gone she noticed the tree had been damaged by something. She could see through the small hole that the tree was hollow inside, she then started to walk around it and found a small opening that wasn't big enough for a bear or even wide enough for a cubs but it was the right size for to get squeeze inside. When she was inside the tree she put her hand on the wall and felt the opening where the bark was missing from that she could see outside fo. When she moved her hand down it she suddenly had a sharp pain from her head as more memory started to flash through her head.
She remembered staying at a Inn in the village below, when she was setling into one of the rooms one of the maids came in with some fresh blankets for her and noticed Ikyo's ears. Making Ikyo quickly pulled her hood up over her head and ran out room until she was outside running towards the forest. She hid in a abandoned house until nigth fall then she heard people coming towards her as she was leaving the house. This made her run farther into the forest with tree branches cutting her up and causing her all the bruises over her body as they was hitting her. Then she tripped on a tree root and sprang her ankle she looked back at the people and the ligth from the torches and she started running again after her ankle was heal but she still had the cut and bruises on her. She wasn't watching where she was going when she hit her arm onto a tree causing damage to it that she could see that was hollow inside. When she was inside she found out her arm was dislocated as she was watching the men run passed her through the hole. She stayed there until morning, when she knew they was gone she pulled herself outside and leaned back against the tree until Nie-orya heard her cry out in pain after she did. When the pain and visions finally stopped she looked around and shook her head. She went back outside and looked at the tree where it was damage again and started to rub her hand on it. She closed her eyes to listen to which direction she heard the raging water of the river from before she slowly started to walk towards the sound of water and to Na-Na who was waiting for her.
"What toke you so long." Asked Na-Na calmly as she was leaning against a tree by a large opened field. "Let me see, first I amost had a breathing attack, second I ran into a family of bears, third I had the worst headache in my life when I found the tree that dislocated my arm because of all the memories I recalled after, that's what toke me so long." Said Ikyo strongly then she started to rubbing the back of her head because she kinda snapped on her and now was feel a little ashamed of herself. "So you used three of your senses. Oh, four since its really windy today and I know you have a good sense of smell." Said Na-Na in a soft voice then she started to explained to her why her sense was connected to her lesson after she was done she brushed her finger on her nose and smiled slightly at her. "Ok, then can you tell me how you kept disappearing so fast back there then, I lost you at lease twice before I couldn't even see you." Said Ikyo strongly as she was looking at her with a puzzled look. "That's a lesson for another time maybe after your more farmiler with the forest from both the ground and the trees. But first since you didn't get here before me I want you to walk down the river to the waterfall. Behind it is a cave I like you to bring me something from out of it, you will know once you go inside. By the time you come back I should be finished setting up the spells you gave me for you training within my staff, not go on." Said Na-Na seriously then she pointed down the river to the waterfall before she crossed her arms and started looking at her sternly. "But… but what about the water?" Asked Ikyo nervously as she was moving back from her and into the forest looking at the water with fear in her eyes.
Then without warning Na-Na grabbed her wrist as she was moving farther back and started to pulled her towards the water. "Na-Na what are you doing stop, please let me go I'm really scared of going near the water!" Said Ikyo loudly in fear as she was trying to push the cuff off her wrists from the restraining spell she cast on her before she suddenly falls back into the water after Na-Na made a force field around them so she couldn't run to far from her. "It looks like I first have to show you that there's nothing for you to be so afraid of first." Said Na-Na calmly after she looked at her then she put her hand on her forehead and brushed her hair back. "Why can't I get up or move my legs, Na-Na!?" Asked Ikyo strongly in a scared voice as she was looking up at her before she started trying to break the restraining spell off her wrist. "Stop trying to break the spell this one is almost the same us the other one I used on you before. It's only a little different from that last one thought because this one lets me be able to control your body." Said Na-Na in a sweet innocent voice as she was holding the chain up by her head with her smiling slightly down at her. Ikyo then leaned slightly back from her nervously before she found herself standing up in the water. She began to pull on the chain, she lost control of her legs but she still had control of her arms. "No Na-Na stop please!" Said Ikyo loudly as she was pulling her closer towards the waterfall along the edge of the river with the water getting slightly higher around them. Then Na-Na stopped and looked up at the waterfall in front of them, Ikyo than starts to pull on chain as hard as she could before Na-Na looks back at her made the chain longer causing Ikyo to falls into the water again with it now up to her shoulders. She tried to get up but couldn't because Na-Na still was holding onto the chain. Ikyo then starts to pull on the chain again and Na-Na pulled on it harder making Ikyo fall slightly forward before she was on the ground holding herself up from falling into the water. Then Na-Na kneeled down in front of her and lifted her head up and seen the tears running down her cheeks as she was looking up at her sadly.
"I don't understand what you are so afraid of adout water… or why. You need to overcome your fears, if you don't you won't ever be able to control all of your powers. I don't think you know this, but your are much stronger than you believe you are. This is the strongest restraining spell my father thouth me and it's suppose to control your whole body but on you I could only control you legs." Said Na-Na strongly then she smiled slightly at her for a moment after she removed her hand from her cheek after wiping some of her tears away. Ikyo sits back on her legs and looks at her in disbelief because that was the second time someone had said that same thing to her. "But Na-Na, how am I suppose to do this if I'm so scared?" Asked Ikyo in a low soft voice after she starts to hold one of her tails tightly against her chest. "You need to find that one person that can push you far enough to the edge for you to be able to overcome your fears on your own so you can control your full powers over time. I myself don't know too many people like that to help you in that way but I can tell you that rigth now you seem to be doing okay." Said Na-Na in a soft voice then she rubs Ikyo's head after she smile sligthly at her.
