Mayako panted hard, sweat dripped down her face she felt like she was about to keel over and die on the spot, she had her hands on her kness which was heling her not to fall right on her face she then heard a low chuckle, she peered up and saw Kurookami grinning at her "Don't tell me your exsaughsted after only a few minutes" he gave another chuckle Mayako scowled "No,I'm good" she then straightened herself and took in a deep breath and exhaled "I'm ready to continue". Kurookami chuckled "Good" Mayako had been training with the giant black nine tailed fox for three weeks after he had shown himself to her and proposed to teach her and allow her to become stronger in a short amount of time but, she wasn't expecting the training to be so regorose and tough. But, Mayako had to grin and bare it, if she wanted to get stronger in order to avoid losing control of her own power "Now, do what you just did once more" came the black foxes low toned voice Mayako nodded she closed her eyes, she put her hand a few inches apart in front of her and began channaling energy into the center.

"Consintrate, let the energy gather in the center of both your palms" came Kurookami's insturctions Mayako did as she was told she focused her mind, Kurookami told her to focus on the energy she was putting out, to order it to go where she told it to, "Go, go to where I tell you" she mumbled she could feel the energy bending to her, in fallowed her orders and soon, she felt it start to gather between her extended hands. She heard Kurookami give a satisfied moan, "Good,keep going" Mayako didn't open her eyes she nodded and kept going like she was instructed she could feel the energy being gathered grow stronger it felt like she was waiting and eternity until she heard Kurookami shout "Now, release it!" Mayako opened her eyes and she raised her hands above her head, she cried out loudly and she threw her arms down and out from them came a torrent of blue flames. "Good, keep the flow going" Kurookai coached Mayako gave a nod she had only been able to keep the flow of fire going for a good two minuets she had to aim for longer, she started pumping more energy out which allowed the flow to keep going "Come on, come on, come on, come on" she repeated Mayako felt a bead a sweat start to come down her face.

Her body was shouting at her to stop, but she couldn't she had to keep going, she had to keep the flow going "Not yet, just a little more, bare it please!" she shouted at her body it shouted back, telling her to stop Mayako bit into her lip she wasn't going to let anything get in the way of her training not even her own body so, she tuned it out. She kept pumping out energy she wanted to see just how far she could go as she did this she glanced at Kurookami who had a huge grin on his face as he watched her she still had no idea why he decided to teach her he had said it was because they were the same but, she felt like there was another reason all together. At that moment she had stopped focusing on what she was doing and no sooner she did that the steady flow she had vanished "Oh no!" she gasped as she saw the torrent of flame vanish from sight "No! No! No! No!" she screamed but it was to late the flow was gone. As she watched the last bit of blue fire burn own she gritted her teeth "Damn!" she then fell to the ground panting and sweating like crazy.

She heard Kurookami chuckle "That was good, you lasted longer then you have before" Mayako looked up with an exsaughsted smile on her face "Re..Really?" Kurookami nodded "You lasted a few seconds more" Mayako scowled "Only a few seconds" Kurookami chuckled "Is that good enough for you?" Mayko growled "No,I was aiming for longer" Kurookami seemed to smile in surprise "Well now, aren't we trying to be the little overacheiver" he chuckled. Mayako groaned "Don't worry young one, you'll get there eventually and you'll go even further beyond" Mayako nodded "That is what I want" Kurookami let out a laugh "Great! That's what I want to hear!" Mayako slowly got to her feet "I'm ready to continue" she gave a labored breath.

Kurookami shook his massive head "No, that's enough for today young one" Mayako goaned in annoyance "I want to continue" Kurookami sighed "I appreciate the entushiasim but no, you'll die if you exsuaght all your spirit energy". Mayako lowered her head "Alright" Kurookami sighed a second time "I know you wish to become stronger but, you need to know your own limits" Mayako nodded "I understand" Kurookami gave a affrimative groan "Now, you must go to phase two of your training" Mayako looked up and nodded she then crossed her legs, placed her hands in her lap and closed her eyes and started to breath in and out.

This, was phase two of her training, Kurookami called it Absorbtion Training, the basics of it was to pull in spirit energy Kurookmi told her that spiritual energy flows all around freely and this training was for her to practice to absorb it to replenish her own he told her it was good for when you were in a pinch and needed more energy. And so, Mayako felt around, sensing all the abundant spiritual energy around her, "Come to me" she said with her mind just like her own spiritual energy Kurookami told her to take command of the free flowling spiritual energy and make it do what she wanted it to do. Slowly, but surely she started to feel the spiritual energy flow into her and began adding it to her own and felt hers slowly start to recover.

"Now, I want you to increase the absorbtion speed" she heard Kurookami command she nodded and she started to take in the spiritual energy a bit faster and her own started to recover a bit faster "Good" she heard Kurookami comment for several minuets she did this until she heard Kurookami say "Now, I want you to increase the absorbtion amount" Mayako nodded."Okay, give me a bit more now" she whispered she immediatley felt like more energy the before was going into her "Keep the same rate of speed as well" Kurookami commanded Mayako nodded she felt the rush of energy pouring into her all at once.

It made her body hot, her brother had said once that it was bad to take in too much spiritual energy then you could handel but, she had to do this she had to grin and bare it and so she continued her body felt like it was on fire her spiritual energy itself felt like it was a raging inferno. Mayako started to shudder, her body was behing crushed by the amount of energy she was taking in "Shut up" she mumbled keeping the flow going her body barked back "Silence" she said in a low tone which seemed to make her body go silent. With that her body stopped shuddering and became calm "I have to become stronger, I have to, I can't stop" Mayako felt that her spiritual energy was fully replenished but she wanted to go beyond that "I want to go further" she mumbled and she started taking in more then her required amount of spiritual energy she asked for more energy,she asked for it to come faster.

It abided her and in a rush she felt the energy envelope her, the feeling she had was amazing it felt like she was stronger then anything, she like that feeling so much so that unconsioulsy a smirk started to appear on her face."Kid what are you doing!!" she heard Kurookami shout then in a split second she heard nothing, she felt a strange feeling take holed of her, a feeling of, wanting to destroy everything the smirk on her face then turned to a evil grin.
