Sekhmet Makes Her Intentions Known… As Sassali opens up to her Student….

Next morning Sekhmet Stretched Yawwwwn Oh crap I overslept Seiko is going to… dear relax maybe she is letting you take some… I can’t I got to go…. MMMMM baby did anyone ever say that you are so driven Nefertiti spoke… Been like that all my life baby giving her lover a kiss…

Meanwhile, Seiko in human form carried an elegant case in and dressed in elegant robes in the woods… wow I still can’t believe this still fits as she knelt down and opened the case and took a deep breath…. Grandfather, Grandmother it has been a very long time I kept your swords sharp and untouched looking over her shoulder to see two Bokken swords….

When Seiko lit some incense and spoke a silent prayer and bowing to the case as she lifted the sword letting the light gleam off of it….

Where is Seiko as Sekhmet come down the steps worried that she missed her teacher’s wakeup call… we don’t know I thought you two were training…. She never woken me up… Dear relax… I got to find her to apologize to her sleeping in… Did she knock… well no she didn’t Megan but you know your mother… it will be ok dear maybe something is bothering her I can see by the way your bruises are healing up nicely… thank you everyone for everything… we are family Pete spoke back that is what we are here for….

Amaunet spoke good news Makayla called the Penthouse should be repaired in the next few days Kiara also told us that our workers are getting anxious not having us around as Amuni said I can’t wait to be home too guys not knocking you all but I miss the big city lights and sounds when Sekhmet silently slipped out unnoticed….

Seiko raised up and got into stance while she began to remember moves her grandfather and grandmother taught her as a child while the sword in hand began to flow like water in a stream…. Sekhmet shouted SEIKO…... SEIKO WHERE ARE YOU SENSEI…. ANSWER ME PLEASE when she heard Seiko Chanting in her Fluent Japanese dialect…... as Seiko smiled while sliding the sword in her hilt…

You surprise me I gave you the day off from training and yet you find me…. Seiko what is this where did you…. Learn how to use a katana like I did… My grandfather was a Bushido master and my grandmother was a kunoichi… what Sekhmet asked…. The art of ninjutsu…. How long did you know this… all my life but as times and change came and went it’s not that I lost interest in this style… why you are stunning…?

It was my grandparent’s thing if they were still here then I wouldn’t be the Snake Queen I am now… what would you be…. Who knows maybe an agent of the shadow… a rouge assassin… Seiko is something wrong you didn’t wake me for training did I do something wrong…?

Seiko took a deep breath no, it was not you dear… then what is it…. Please my student I just needed to be by myself today of all days… WHY all this time you kept telling me about teamwork and not to be alone now you are asking me to leave you to your thoughts… I’ll let you be Seiko… as Rachel began to get up and walk off…. Wait dear…. WHAT YOU JUST ASKED ME TO LEAVE YOU… you know you and I never talked when we were human but at classes on days like this you noticed how sad I seemed…

Sekhmet said you know we never associated in the past but I did seem to get a hurt vibe from you what gives… My grandparents both died in a car accident when I was ten after losing my parents when I was four years old to a plane crash… OH, MY I NEVER… it is ok dear life and **** always flow no matter who you are… well not us now Sensei… I know my dear…

May I see it… what my dear student… the sword… ok but don’t touch… afraid of me getting cut Sensei… it was my grandfather’s custom to touch a katana sword you had to earn the right to wield it I remember when I was six years old he smacked my hand a few times for touching this very same blade I hold now…. When Seiko pulled the blade out and held it in both hands with a bowing motion….

Wow, that is so beautiful as Sekhmet was lost in its beauty…. That it is my dear… could you train me Seiko… you want to learn… anything you can teach me I want this more now than ever… may I ask why… look I will not lie about my old life I wasted it and I don’t intend to do so again… are you serious about it… Yes Seiko…. Then hand me the case over there please… Ok as Sekhmet/Rachel got up to pick up the elegant case placing it near Seiko’s knelt form…. Did you know that the art of shadows or Ninjutsu is not on how you take your opponent out most Ninja could take a target out without killing them … how if I ask…? Pressure points and or blocking the person airway… So, it is not all lethal… not at all when Sekhmet watched Seiko bow once again…

May I ask why do you bow to the swords… these are my swords yes but they also belong to my grandparents so to honor their memory I made it customary that if I ever use them, I bow before and after each use… so you pay homage to your fallen family… Making Seiko smile…

You know Seiko I am so sorry we never were friends before all of this… it was never your fault it was all mine and whom I hanged with so the fault is all mine… Thank you Seiko making Sekhmet smile feeling Rachel inside at ease… Wait here my student as Seiko raised up and walked to the two wooden swords and walked back… are you for certain you want to learn…. YES SENSEI…. Then while kneeling down you must earn the right to hold a katana….

So, do you Rachel Jenkins take the oath of The Order of The Shadow mage…. Yes, Sensei Rachel Spoke back… then this is what we start with as she handed her a wooden sword in a sheath… in simple men and woman hands this may look like a toy sword as we train you mind, body and soul to be an aspect of this sword we then in turn move you to hold a katana of your own… what is this Sensei… A Bokken…. Or commonly known as a Training sword…. Thank you, Sensei, when Rachel/Sekhmet bowed just like Seiko done in return…

You never cease to amaze me now stand up and follow my lead as Student and Teacher began to mimic movements together until Seiko stopped and turned and bowed… that is all for today my dear student as Sekhmet tried to return the Bokken…

I gave you this didn’t I Seiko spoke… yes you did Sensei… then this is yours forever the only way you lose this sword or any katana blade is in battle or in **** do you understand… Yes, Sensei as Sekhmet bowed…

Sensei… yes, my student… I am sorry about your grandparents… thank you for your kind words but the members of the Shadow Mage believe that **** is the beginning of all creation of life one ends a new one begins just as we live some of us will die… what about us… from Queen Amaunet professed we are immortal yes but not immortal from pain…

Will I ever be as wise as you, stopping Seiko in her tracks… my dear you are in your own way you just need to harness that strengthen it like Japanese steel… So how do we fit it all in… so two days we will do cardio, one day hand-to-hand, then Sword training then weekends off… Ok Sensei if you promise me something in return…

Name it… Trust us, all of us, you are not alone in this anymore anything that affects you affect us you got your children now and you got me and our family to lean on when you need it the most…. Deal Sekhmet, Seiko smiled back let us go home then… good because Amaunet told us that their penthouse should be repaired soon… is that so dear… Yeah, all the craziness should be normal soon … hey this is our normal and the craziness that goes with it as they got to the door…

When Amaunet spoke Hey Seiko I see Sekhmet found you… that she did my dear friend where are my children and their loved ones…. They heard a silent alert… so they are out taking care of business… yes, they told me to tell you they should be home later as Nefertiti came up Baby you came home are you… Yes, dear as Sekhmet was cut off…

Ahh to be that young and in love remember those days dear in Egypt… how could I forget remember those parties your mother threw… oh how could I not forget mother tried time and time again to set me up with the flavor of the week as both queens watched as their fellow sister and Student embrace her love as the night fell across the LA skyline….
