My Little Spirit Kitty

Back to my bedroom, I see that both Phoebe and Hikari were already sleeping, even Cynthia was there too. Seeing them, I quietly took my pajama and went outside to take a big bath first.

Walking inside the dorm, I was surprise to see that everyone were already sleeping or at least in their room, true it's already late evening now since Angel and Cécilia want to stay as long as possible with us and they even went again to the attraction park with everyone today while Phoebe and Priscilla stayed with me here.

"Why can't I take a bath quietly without someone come in?" Did I thought while I feel someone coming behind me

"What happened Yumi, it's been a long time you didn't sneak in!" Did I ask her

"Can't I just miss being just with you?"

"Yes it's been a long time you didn't sneak into my bed! But I also feel something trouble you as well, doesn't it?"

"How do you always know what I feel?"

"Don't we live together since many years, of course I know you!" Did I wink at her

"Is it because of what happened to Cynthia that you are a little worry?" I say while becoming serious

"Yes, everyone is a little worry about this, not only me! We know that our magic is really low compare to you or even Phoebe! Sometime I regret that I didn't train as lot as you and be so far behind you!"

"You know, even if you didn't train a lot, your magic is already high enough!"

"But I can't even use the medium teleportation like you and Phoebe, and even less the spell < Gate >, even Priscilla finally arrived to master it!" Did she pout

"Don't worry, you are already strong enough, more than you think and haven't you Raven and Ondine with you too? They will always be here to protect you as well!"

"But if they are not here?"

"Didn't you win some medals in archery last year?"

"Heu… Yes but it's totally different!"

"Really? You win the first place in the junior competition against kids who was even older than you, you even finish in the third place in the teenager competition! Don't you think it's quiet good?"

"But don't Phoebe and you also win the first place in both junior and teenager competition in kendo and combat stick? It's more amazing than me!"

"That's where you are wrong! Let me ask you, why do you think we also win the first place in the teenager tournament?" Did I ask her

"Because you were stronger?"

"No, don't you remember how they treat us when they see us coming?"

"Yes, they were all laughing at you and I really to give them a lesson before you stop me!"

"That's been their first mistake! They underestimate us because we were younger! And their second mistake was to use all their strength against us to 'teach us' a lesson!"

"But isn't that mean you are stronger than them since you win?"

"That's where you are wrong, for example slap the water strongly with your palm of your hand! Try!" Did I tell her when she was looking at me confusedly

Looking at her hand, Yumiko few hesitate for then using all her strength and slap the water.

< Paaaffff >

"OUCHHH!!! It's hurt!" Did she shout while looking at me angrily

"Right! So now, do the same but by lower the speed when you reach the water! Do it!" Did I insist since she was still looking mad at me but she did as I said for this time didn't hurt herself

"See, if you use all your strength at fast speed, indeed you still break the water but you also hurt yourself, right? But if you use the same strength at lower speed the water will absorb most of the shock and you didn't get hurt!"

Looking at her confuse face it was really cute and I just smile at her before continuing my explanation.

"So it's mean that if we use all our strength to them we will also get hurt, even more than them since they were older than us while if we lower their attack by absorbing it like the water did to you earlier, one we get less hurt and two we use less energy than them for then be easier to counter attack!"

"But how did you do that?"

"By increasing our reflexes and our speed while we were sparing together, but the most important we also had to train our mental too!"

"Your mental? Why"

"Isn't the same for archery, if you use all your strength the arrow sure may go faster and go more straight, but you also need to control the angle and the distance for reach your target and most important, you also need to calm down yourself before shouting your arrow! Right"

"Yes you right, every time before I shout my arrows, I calm my mind and ignore everything around me!" Admit Yumiko by starting to few understand

"Exactly, but when you have time to do it for each arrow you had to shout, we need to keep our mind quiet all the time while we have a sword or stick come straight to us several time in a minutes!"

"So that's why you are so good at magic!" Did she shout, finally realizing it

"Yes! Even if it's true that some of our spell need lot of magic, the most important it's our will, our mental!"

"But why you didn't tell me earlier about this!" Did she pout

"We did, but you not really like to meditate! Right?" Did I remind her about her laziness, "But that's also why I also push you to join us learning fighting sport, to train your mental too!"

"So that's mean that I can become as strong as you?" Did she ask with sparkle in her eyes

"Well you also need some training for use it with you magic, you can ask Raven to train you with it!"

"Can you also teach us a few?" Did she ask timidly

"Sure! By the way, it's for that reason why everyone went to sleep early today?" Did I ask her while smiling

"Sigh… We really can't hide everything from you, right?" Did she reply while smiling

"Well, I also think it's why Linoa and her peerage also decide to stay few longer here, not only because they like our new dormitory!"

"Yeah, it's true that we already talk about this past days, and everyone is also agree about this!"

"I see, so let's go sleep early!" Did I say while starting to leave when suddenly Yumiko hold my hand

"Can we stay a few more together? I also lot miss you too!" Did she say timidly

"Is Kaixin will not be jealous to know that you are with me?" Did I tease her

"Why?" Did she ask while her face start to become red, "There is nothing between him and me!"

"Ohh really? I don't think it's all the truth…" Did I laugh while looking at her becoming more embarrassing

"Sigh… Yes I like him sometime, but most of time he is just too…" She says while searching her words

"Childish?"

"Yes, right! Childish!"

"Aren't we the same age? We are still kids, it's normal! Just give him some more time!"

"I am not that so childish!" Did she pout, "Even you and Phoebe are sometime look older than us, making me feel that one day you may disappear and forget about me!" Did she say sadly

"You know that we like you and that we will always love you and we both care about you and you will always be our Yumiko! We will never forget you!"

"But aren't you a little more distant too past year?"

Well, indeed I can't deny about this since even if I try to always give both of them the same attention, it change a few the day Phoebe discover my secret when I was talking about it with Hikari!

It was not my attention, but in the same time I was also want to give her more less worry and enjoy a little more her childhood! But look like it only make us becoming far from each other…

"See I was right! You hide something! I see it in your eyes!" Did she shout proudly Yumiko to be right

"Fine, it may have one or two things that one day I may have to reveal you, and unconsciously I maybe take some distance with you too when I also see you starting to be close to Kaixin!"

"So can you tell me now?" Did she ask while smiling at me

"Hmm… How about this… The day you will arrive to use the spell < Gate.> I will tell you everything!"

"Ehh? It's not fair, even Phoebe can't arrive to use this spell while Priscilla only successed few weeks ago!" Did she pout

"Well, to be honest, I am sure that today Phoebe can easily do it, maybe she is just want to be a little spoil like you!" Did I say while kissing her forehead and leaving the bath, leaving a red face Yumiko behind me
