7. Training and Mastery

Since i start practicing shadow steps, i feel that my movements are getting more fluent and solid same as when i’m walking it’s feel more like i'm sliding rather than walking, but for some reason i get a feeling that i know this technique but it seems i can’t remember it very well no matter how much i try.

I began to practice first in a wet floor to get control of my movements, they tell me to go slowly steps by steps sliding my feet throughout the wet floor while inclining my back a little with big steps, i also can’t split my legs too much it has to be shoulder length and every steps i took has to be firm with the tips of my fingers feet, it was very hards at first but in a week i was able to do it.

In my first week practicing i was able to get control of my movements and the firmness when i slide, but then the difficult part start, when i tried to start sliding through glass i got cut in every attempted and i tried to do the same thing i did when i slide through the wet water but it was wrong in here i have to go from soft to hard and then go back to hard and soft, i didn’t get it what they mean and like that a month pass without me being able to master it.

A month pass, right now i am meditating in what i'm doing wrong, i can hide my presence and i can slide through anything but i just don't get what i'm doing wrong, i just can’t slide through glass as i meditate and look towards a tree and see the leaves falling softly towards the ground t emotionless and weightless  like his  part of the air and then i remember a technique similar to shadow steps “ plum flower steps” that specializes between hard and soft and was one of the techniques it took me longer to figure it out and practice.

I get back to the dojo, to where the carpet with glass were and i close my eyes and i began to concentrate and remember the technique plum flower step, as soon as i start to move towards the glass i let my body go at it’s will falling softly towards the glass then i readjust my weight as if  i was weightless and began to move my body towards the glass and then i start to slide and become more and more accustomed to it and then i feel a sensation in my body mostly in my feet and legs as if they were strengthened themselves and i feel refreshed as if i was a bird who just learn how to fly, i can even feel the movement of every living thing in the ground now i know why i wasn't able to feel dad presence even though he was behind me.

I heard someone entering the room and look back and see it was my dad and uncle to see if i get some insight but when they see that i was stepping in the glass without even cutting myself, they were surprised and didn’t know how to react, they look at each other and look at the spot i was when they didn't see me in there they were again surprised even with the many years of experience they have they weren’t able to feel my presence then i said.

“ Hahaha, did you just see i master shadow steps in a month, didn’t i tell you i would do it and you didn’t believe me now you have to acknowledge that i am a genius amongst genius” Yogi laughed while walking toward them.

“ I can’t believe, you, you really did it not even i who is considered a genius was only able to master it in a year and you only took a month, i don’t know wether to laugh or cry” Hayato in stupor said.(AUTHOR NOTE: sorry i just had to used that phrase is one of my favorites).

“ I didn’t only master it i also improved it” Yogi silently thought while looking at his father and uncle lee shock expression ” I better do not say anything it will only shock them more and it will be a pain the ass to do that “ Yogi thought about.

While uncle and dad were excited and keep talking about how i did it and why does my movement look slightly different than them, something was happening outside, there were a group of assassin heading to our villa while we laugh and talk.

The first to notice something was wrong, was uncle lee with his many years traveling around the world, he does know that when a forest is this silence that not even the gentle breeze of mid summer is heard then something was wrong he stand up startling, me and my dad but then we also noticed the silence of the forest and then a scent enter my nose “ I smell blood” i say while standing up and running at full speed towards the villa, i was running so hard that i didn’t even  notice the shock expression of uncle lee and dad because they were not able to catch up to me.

When i get closer and closer to the villa the scent of blood is getting more and more thick while also screams could be heard , i heard a scream that almost take my heart away “ mamaaaa” that was my little sister scream and is getting farther and farther away and for some reason i feel something welling inside of me something i have want to forget, something i should not have again and that something is the thing i'm most afraid of.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

When we finally arrived at the villa. We saw our worst nightmare there were dead bodies everywhere most of them were our guards while some of them were some of them were, men in black i didn’t spare a glance at them and keep running madly towards my mother room, when i finally reach i saw my mother with cut every where fighting 3 men with daggers, i got so mad when i saw that scene that i rush towards the three of them.

I grab the head of one of the man in black and with all my force, i smash his head towards the ground, blood and brain scattered everywhere when his head explode but i did not stop i grab the dagger that was almost falling to the ground and went to the stunned man in black before he could even react he already died headless with his eyes wide open not knowing how he died but the third man in black was fast to react but before he could escape my dad appear in front of him and knocked him out.

I went towards my mom and seeing she has just some small cuts, i let out a sigh but then i remember i heard my sister scream and i don’t see her in here just where she is i ask mom and she said,“ Those people capture your sister and leave a message to your father they said” If you would have listen to me and submit to me nothing of this would be happening”.Miu said while sobbing and hugging the little toy of my little sister.

When my father heard what my mother said he was stunned at first  but then he face went from red to blue and back to normal again but you could see his eyes were emitting a killing intent so strong that you could even feel it hundred km away.

I was trembling of rage and my mind keep telling me it was my fault because i wasn’t in here and i keep remembering my past-life family and how weak i was back then, even more rage  filled within me.

My mother seeing me like that hug me while crying and then i heard laugh, that just hearing it makes me feel like i want to rip him apart, it makes me feel i want to kill him all over again and again.

Hahahaha, now you are not that brave eh child, you see it was your dad for not giving face to lord lucan, hahaha now your sister would suffer like the little b” The man in black was laughing happily about the oganosuke misfortune but before he could say the next word, he suddenly feel so much pain in his abdomen, he feel a mountain has crush his inside and he was blast away, yogi kick him with all his force but.

Before Yogi was able to go to kill that bastard uncle lee stop him, while saying to him to control his emotions Yogi inhale furiously trying to calm down his anger but every time he saw the smirk on that bastar face he couldn't help but get angrier and angrier. Uncle lee has to call a guard to imprison the man in black.

Hayato, uncle lee and some loyal guards of the oganosuke family went to investigate the man in black but they weren’t able to get anything, for over 5 hour they punch him, choke him, and do a lot of kind of tortures but the man didn’t talk they could only gave up, the only thing he say was that the child is not with lucan and they believe it because with the influence that my father has if they were to find proof of the child being with him even the emperor himself has to give face to my dad and kill lucan but now their only thought were to find the child killing lucan for the oganosuke family is like killing an ant.

“ Let me do it” a voice said it was not hard neither carry a strong presence but it has a lot of worth in the heart of the people sitting in resting room with a stern face.

Hayato let out a sigh looking at his child and said” We weren’t able to making say anything not matter how many times with torture him, what could a child do, even though we know you are strong you wouldn’t know a torture strong enough to make him talk, people like them have been training and we know you feel, you only want a opportunity to kill him, i know you want to kill him but he's our only clue toward where sakura would be”

I look at him with a serious face and says” Let me do it, i promise i will not kill him and if i kill him i promise to you that i myself will take my life i away” Yogi seriously said while looking at his dad in the eyes, hayato seeing such an action of his son he couldn’t help but be shock and even the people in the room were shocked.

“ Since you said it yourself i will believe you, but keep in mind that nobody from the oganosuke family has break a promise before and that applies to you and me, even if you're my son, if you break that promise i will make you kill yourself or i kill you myself ” Hayato said while releasing  his killing intent, Yogi calmly nodded it seemed like he was unaffected by what his father said, he then stand up and walk towards the prison that no even a homeless would want to live in and when he entered and the man saw him, the man began to smirk while mocking him but to yogi that was nothing because he was smirking even more.

” Your coming to kill me, what happen if your father knows about, you will be punished but anyway even if you kill me you won’t be able to know where your sister is” The man in black said

“ Today, i didn’t come to kill you, so don’t worry i come to talk to you in a friendly way” Yogi said while smiling even more, and when the man saw that smile he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine but he then snorted and said”  What could a little kid do to me, torture me, didn’t your father tell you how much he tried and he didn’t find anything even if you cut my ball i won’t talk”

Yogi laughed loudly at the men comment and just leave a word behind it sounds more like a whisper but to the man in black it feel like the voice of death” i’m not my dad”.

Yogi grab a short knife” you can talk whenever you feel pain since i hear people like you are already accustomed to it”.

I grab the short knife and whisper something to him after that i look at his hand and i start peeling his nail off with my short knife, slowly and carefully trying to inflict the most possible pain i can gave him. Every Time i peel his nails off with my knife more and more blood fell and he begins to tremble every time i peal one of his nail, i start with his hand and them with his feet and when i finish i whisper, ” Do you know why people like to peal off the orange skin first  before eating it..” I leave that mid sentence to him and then start peeling off his skin.First,i started with his arms every time i take a layer of skin you could hear the gruesome sound it made when the skin is taken off. Like this i start with his arm, them his legs, after that his faces, i peel and peel while he refuses to let a sound but if yogi look up you could see the man crying face.
