Training Day

As Jori took his hand in hers, understanding the trust he had to offer his hand knowing she required nothing of him and she never would only his loyalty and at least his friendship. As she looked up at him trusting him too, she was glad to have trusted him thus far and was so thankful to the ancient powers that be for allowing her to see as she had that night in the bar, while giving her the wisdom to keep what she saw to herself. As she glanced around, she realized that suddenly they were in a field. “Looks like we're here?” she said softly.

Smiling as they appeared at the place he'd normally come to just to escape the never ending pushing and shoving of the humans in the city. “Of course we are. This is one of my personal escapes. Still in the human realm, but that's it. Away from everything.” he said releasing her hands before bringing aiming posts a few paces away into view. “For now, we'll use this a practice range so you can get use to your powers and the same with me. Since I still have to figure that out.”

She nodded, taking a step back from him and looking at the aiming posts. “So what are we practicing now?” She glanced around, she knew it wouldn't be guns, they hadn't brought them, not that it mattered but neither of them really needed to practice that.

Grinning at her at her question he slowly raised his left hand as energy slowly started to manifest in the palm of his hand as he started to explain. “I brought you here mostly so we could get used to our powers, and so you could learn to fight more like I do. That way you won't always have to rely on human weapons if you find yourself fighting demons instead of humans. Guns help but they dont really get the job done with us." He said releasing the little ball of fire at the target that he had his hand pointed at. Of course it hit near the center of the target leaving a scorch mark but otherwise it was undamaged. It was then that he noticed something that he hadn't commanded his body to do. His body was changing, rather quickly from what he could tell into something softer then what he was used to. He watched as his hands turned into girlish hands with longer nails, the hair that he normally kept short but long in front was now long all around, and when he looked down, oh gawd. He looked up quickly at Jori. He had her breasts. And when he really looked at his hands they were the size of hers, and he no longer was looking down at her, but eye level with her. He was wide eyed for a good minute before he did anything else. Staring at the real Jori while he was turned into her unwillingly. Clearing his throat, he spoke "Well... this is not what I expected to happen..." his voice was definitely female and not his own but hers. "Uhh.. I didn't do this..." raising both hands into the air thinking she might start freaking out that he'd taken her form by choice.

Jori had been listening intently to Yoichi explain about guns not really being choice against demons when suddenly something strange started to happen. He was changing somehow. While she knew Yoichi could take any form, this was not his normal choice. Especially when it looked right now as though she were looking into a mirror, Jori took a step back not sure what to say. A confused giggle erupted from her mouth as she gazed at him. "Yoichi?" she began walking around him taking in the sight of him as her! "Oh my!" she exclaimed as she reached out to touch him. "Is that what I look like?" At that she had to bite her lip to stop the laughter that threatened to bubble over. She knew Yoichi would not want to be in the body of a girl. "We can fix this..." bites harder onto her lip "... I think." She said as another small giggle escapes her.

He simply stares at her for a full minute gauging how she was reacting to the sudden change that had happened on its own. He was still in the clothing that he'd put on, exposing half of one breast to her which for some reason he felt embarrassed about. Quickly he buttoned up the shirt haphazardly. "Uhh. I'm not sure what just happened." he said, looking at his own body before looking up at her again. Surely she must of found this odd. "But yes... Its me... I have no idea what's going on but I can't change back... Its like being locked in a sealed room...." he stated, not being able to change was kind of freaking him out but he had the keen feeling that it might wear off, eventually.. "anyways.. Umm" why couldn't he stop looking at her... Himself, he didn't even want to remove his pants to see if it was a complete change or not, but he had a feeling it most likely was one, sadly enough.

When he said he couldn't change back, her face took on a very worried expression. "Not at all?" she said softly, all traces of humor had left her. How horrible for a man, especially one such as he, to be trapped suddenly in the body of a female. She watched as he just kept staring at himself in her body, which actually made her blush. "Yoichi." she said simply "Can you look at me so we can work this out?" suddenly realizing he WAS technically looking at "her" she frowned. "Ermm this me." walks over to him and lifts his chin to meet her eyes. "I know this is confusing, but we can fix this." tries drawing on the ancient power to try to help but nothing happens to him. "That's interesting." She looked about helplessly as she tried to think of how in creation this could have happened.

Did he whisper what he said about not being able to change? "not at all.." he looked from his... Well her breast back up into her eyes as she told him to stare at her, not him as her. "You know there might be a simple solution..." he could sense that she was trying to use her powers almost instantly, it must of been that power that held him captive or his own. "well... I do know we shared a lot of genetic material in the last few hours. This might just be well a reset of sorts... Maybe..." He said trying to think of the only thing that made sense to him. Putting both hands on her shoulders he looked her in the eyes.. With the same eyes she had. "lets.. Just pretend this isn't happening for now and it might go away." How very childish to say something like that, and he didn't even know where it was coming from.

Jori sighs softly and thinks how hard it was to be having a crush on someone who is now your clone. But she doesn't say that. "I didn't do this did I?" frowns hoping that she somehow hadn't done this to him but wondered if the ancient power had, like maybe to show him things from her perspective or some weirdness like that, maybe so he'd see she really could be trusted but then again wouldn't he also see her vulnerabilities, this would make him the one and only person in the universe who knew her almost as well as she knew herself.

He shook his head, causing the hair that wasn't bounded back to move in front of his face. Brushing the hair away, something he wasnt used to doing."I honestly don't think so. When I change I normally need to have some sort of genetics to go off of... Oh..." he paused wide eyed at what had happened. He had her genetics all over him a few minutes before. And using his powers might of caused the change but didn't explain why he couldn't change back. "Maybe its the powers you transferred to me. You were saying sometime ago that it had its own will or something like that." Now he understood it might be to just to teach him more about her, having him stuck like this. "well since I'm not sure of what your able to do. Maybe we should switch the teachings around? Most of my powers is just using your will and mind to do things. You're the only one that knows how to use yours." He said with a slight smile trying to make the best of this, before his eyes slipped down to her chest again and drifted back up. Damn he was still thinking as a man. And for some reason whenever he thought of himself, being a selfish creature by nature was unnerving. There were feelings he had no idea existed. He blurted out loud. "You really do care about what happens to me, in more way then one.... Don't you?"

Jori was listening patiently to him as he had been trying to figure out what had happened, it was really unnerving her to try and decipher what was spoken out loud and what was only his thoughts when suddenly she heard her own voice say, and very much out loud something she had been feeling for a little while now. Her face flushed a very deep red and she looked at him and stammered. "Um I uh..well..." bites her lip. "Oh my God..." she didn't know what to say to him suddenly seeming to know some of her feelings. How much would he learn? She thought to herself. "Yes." finally, one word, one syllable but no way and no sense in trying to explain, he would soon likely learn more about her than possibly even she knew seeing as the ancient power seemed to be controlling this little excursion into her for him. Her expression changed to show how vulnerable she was at the moment and how worried she was of what he'd think of learning this and other things about her.

He paused for a minute, looked to her, and back away from her with a blush of his/her own? Why was he embarrassed about having said something about it? Taking a deep breath he wrapped both of his arms around his stomach. "Well... Umm I'll just ask questions later, how about... you teach me a little?" He asked bashfully, why was he acting embarrassed about admitting her feelings?

Reorganizing her thoughts, she went about trying to describe the ancient power to him. "So my deep dark secret is, that behind the ancient power and the tigress, I am powerless." looks into his err well her own face and hopes she did the right thing by telling him. "When I need or want it I call out to the power and it surrounds me and lends to me the ability to mask myself from the view of others and to do things like help you to re-energize or rearranging the office. It is entrusted to my care. And now to yours. Can you try it?" lifts his face which now mirrored her own and looks into eyes, which were also her own gazing past herself and looking through to him. "I believe in you and I trust you Yoichi, I have told you the truth about me which no-one knows, can you use it?" smiles softly at him, letting him see her trust and loyalty shine through, hoping that as he learned about her and her deepest thoughts, feelings and fears that he didn't hate, despise or hurt her.

As Jori lifted his face, her face to look at her, he couldn't help but smile, just a little bit. Taking in everything she was saying about herself that he wouldn't of guessed or been able to guess with the way she acted in the office, especially around him. Nodding and lightly hitting his bottom lip he tried to call forth on her powers, not demanding in anyway, just asking for its assistance like she'd described to him. Slowly he felt a different power coming forth, not his own. The majority of it focused in his palms. "uhhh I don't know what to do." he said lightly placing his hand onto her arms, trying his best to mimic the way she'd help him replace the energy he used to fight. "like this?" he asked nervous about what he was doing as energy slowly poured from his hands and into her.

Already being saturated with the ancient power, what he was putting into her was overflowing and it radiated from her as a great light, her skin glowing with the ancient power which covered and guarded her. She smiled softly at him. "You're doing it, and you're doing it just right. Believe me, I would know if it was wrong. You're requesting it, not demanding. See if you demand it or misuse it, it causes an anger to surge through the power that isn't protective or comforting or at all helpful. It's dangerous to the user and those around him or her." calling to them herself she thought to try and do the same as he was pouring back into him the goodness and light that was radiating in her. She watched him carefully. "How do you feel?"

As he kept his hands on her all he really could think about was giving her more kisses, but thought better of it. As she started to do the same thing to him. "This is amazing!"

Jori nodded as a multicolored light glowed and rose from their joined hands rising up over their heads creating a similar light show to what they'd seen earlier in her office. Looking up into the swirling colors she saw an image of dragon and a white tiger they appeared to move slowly around each other, regarding each other not as foes, but as friends when all at once they joined, the dragon surrounding the tiger. She dropped her gaze back to the face that was a mirror image of her own. "Yoichi do you see that?"

Watching the colors fly above them and between them his eyes grew wider, watching as the shapes of a dragon, and tiger appeared in the lighting. It was the same marking he'd made appear on his arm when he placed clothing on himself. "Yes, I did... It looks like our powers... are ... I don't know what to say to this." He said looking simply amazed as the lighting slowly faded as he pulled his hands away from hers. While he calculated what he was going to say. "I think it has to be that some gods don't want us to seperate... Possibly ever... Which is strange... since gods are jealous by nature and jealous of just about everything even though they don't show it."

As the light show vanished Jori looked over at Yoichi and into her own face which he was for some unforeseeable amount of time wearing. While it was odd, for some reason she didn't mind, even though it seemed he was to learn something about her which the ancient power had deemed he needed to know, why was it though that she still wore her own body, was there nothing she needed to learn? Or was it that she needed to learn it through Yoichi? Jori strongly suspected given the owners of the ancient power that it was the latter. Then a new thought caught her attention and she arched a brow at Yoichi, daring to speak aloud, she might as well, it seemed they were to learn and share everything now, as he was wearing her skin and knowing her emotions and again it seemed now that she could suddenly read at least his thoughts, at the current point in time whether she wanted to or not. While her mind rambled at warp speed Jori arched one black brow. "Ever?" A confused grin crossed her features. "What in the world would that mean? And for two how do you turn this particular thing off?" she said as she pointed to her head and her mind that was chock full and overflowing.

"For the most part, but you know, a jealous greek god and a deadly one." He said as his thoughts continued about what he was going to do with her if they indeed had to stick together for the rest of their unnatural life spans. Of course they could simply go about doing what they were doing. But then again after words there would be nothing else to do after a hundred years assuming the people that wronged her were humans. Course there were just them, naked, they way she'd kissed him while they'd shared each other was burnt into his mind. He stopped for a moment in wonder as she said something else before pointing to her head. "Oh, Uhh.. well I guess I never really thought you'd get that one... It's good for one on one encounters with people not so good with a lot of people around.... But there's no off switch. I just ignore everyones thoughts but my own most of the time." He said with a shrug, he had a vague feeling that she just heard everything he'd been going over.

As Jori was listening to his words, or what she had at first thought were words, she suddenly realized again that only part of it was in fact spoken out loud and as she did her cheeks reddened as his whole thought process went on, then when she saw that he'd realized that she probably had heard his mental ramblings, she looked up sharply, dark eyes wide and wondering. "Just ignore all that huh?" Then thinks to herself how she didn't think she'd really want to ignore any of it and how for a guy he sure thought alot. Keeping her soft laugh to herself, she thought about what else she could teach him. She pretty much taught him how to use anything he got from her with just one shot. Only he still looked just like her, except for the scantily clad look he had going on at the moment. "You want to try to put some clothes on that fit?" she asked gently, considering he kept glancing down at what was technically her exposed breast.

He sighed, what was he going to do if he couldn't get out of her body in time? Surely he wasn't going to stay like this forever. Right? "Umm right I guess I could put on something more fitting...." He said glancing one last time at his/her breasts. Forcing his powers in he managed to slip on a tight fitting short cut white shirt, but somehow managed to forget the those blasted things that fit over breasts. And a pair of blue jean shorts that hugged his rear.* "Better? I think its not bad considering what I could of put on." he said with a smile, as he thought of the utterly exposing things he'd seen back in Japan before he'd fled. And just for the fun of it, pulled a complete image into his mind to give Jori an idea of what he could of put on. "If you don't learn quickly I'll be more of a distraction then what you think I am already." He said with a quick wink and a soft smile why did her smiles feel softer then his own?

Jori watched the gradual change of clothes and grinned at his choice, it was a good choice. Then as the image popped into her mind of what he could've put on, her eyes went wide. "That's cute, but this isn't the beach." She winked and grinned at him. "You're doing great. Now what do I need to learn? And you're so keeping that outfit for me after you're done with it." she said with a grin.

He thought for a moment, going over what else she may want to learn since the targets were still up and not smoking anymore he thought it was better to start there. "Okay, well you can have this once I'm done being you for who knows how long. But I think you should learn to shoot without using a gun." He said pointing to the targets. "You remember what I told you about it right? Just will it to happen and you should feel a charge before the discharge." Of course, the point of his finger wasn't doing anything just pointing to the targets. "Hit the center one first try and we'll call it good and we can go back to the office."

Jori listened to his words and nods, putting her hand out so no one got hit by accident and she thought about fire shooting from her hand into the center target, at first nothing happened, then suddenly a blast of fire seemed to shoot down her arm and out of the palm of her hand blasting the center target apart. Shocked she took a couple steps back and looked at Yoichi. "Oh God. Did I do it right?"

watching her stand there with her hand up, he crossed his arms just under his breasts, trying to keep his stomach warm for some reason. Just as he thought nothing was going to happen, the shockwave of the fire ball she'd shot at the target, blew his hair back in a flurry rush. Clapping his hands together in a slow but appeasing manner. "Very good, very good. A little too much but if that'd been a demon it wouldn't of lived for a second." he said with a smile as he walked over to her. "Now the hard part, you get to take us back to the office. You know the physical building well enough that it should be easy." he said slowly taking her hand into his own and laced fingers with her. "Up up and away." he said jokingly.

letting out a relieved breath at his approval Jori grins, as she listens to her next task she nods. As he laces his fingers with her own, her heart skips a beat. "To the office, alright I think I can do this." She said breathlessly as she closed her eyes picturing Bella Morte Inc in her mind and that she needed to be there now.
