Elementally Gifted

Chapter 34

Recap:

"Sorata-nii you'll train me, so if I do meet them by chance, I could immediately run away, please?!" I begged my older brother.

My rather attractive siblings eye brows knitted together as he gave me a thoughtful look.

Finally he sighed in defeat, "Fine!"

"Yayyy-"

"But only if you survive my training for two weeks!"

....

Fine it can't be that bad, I already survive his training before!

NIJIKA P.O.V.

I take back everything I said before, it can be that bad....

"You heartless, sicko! How can you make your lil sister do this?!" I screamed as sweat poured down my face.

Sorata sheepishly smiled at me as he unwrapped a lollipop from it's wrapper before popping it into his mouth.

"Forget about going to York Shin then," my older brother mumbled as he enjoyed his treat.

I glared at my older brother and did another pushup. As I went down slowly and pushed myself up, my arms shook in exhaustion and fatigue. I wouldn't have been complaining if it was an regular push up but....

Three tons on your back definitely wasn't something a twelve year old should be able to do...

"Ten more!" Sorata chirped as he popped his lollipop.

My nose scrunched up as I gritted my teeth. Angrily glaring at Sorata, I went down again.

My muscles screamed in protest as my joints seemed to creak with strain. I don't even know why the Zoldyck family had weights as heavy as three tons...

I breathed out as I went down again, my chest barley touching the ground. With the remaining force I pushed myself up.

My arms shook underneath me but with a twist of my body, I slipped the weight that was previously placed on top my back onto the bottom of my foot and juggled it. For few seconds, I continued that before I threw the weight up and kicked it towards my brother who was watching with a smirk.

Much to my annoyance, Sorata was able to catch the weight that weighed three tons with one hand.

I glared at my brother as I brushed my braided hair to one side.

"Well, I finished," I grumbled, walking up to where my brother sat.

The older brunette gave me an closed eyes smile and patted the ground where he sat.

I lowered myself down and sat in front in with confusion.

"Ok, this is going to be your final test," Sorata mumbled as he suddenly pulled out a knife.

With a quick slash he sliced his hand open, making crimson liquid to rush out.

I gasped in shock and immediately placed a hand on the bleeding cut, trying to stop the bleeding.

"Wha-"

Sorata interrupted me by speaking, "Your job is to heal me before I bleed out."

My green eyes were wide in shock and disbelief. But seeing how the blood from my brother's hand wasn't stopping, I started to take action.

During these two weeks, I told my older brother about my ability to heal. We both realized that there was no need for me to form the crystals around the injury when I could control the water in the human body.

I figured the crystals could be used when I needed to protect an injury, like a broken bone.

My hands floated above Sorata's bleeding hand as I concentrated deeply. My aura spiked slightly as it surrounded my hand and went to my brother's injured hand. My breathing became slightly uneven and sweat started to form on my forehead.

I watched as the bleeding wound started to stop, until the skin was slowly starting to stitch back together. A shaky breath escaped my mouth as the healing process became much slower.

"Enough."

My eyes snapped up and looked at my older brother in surprise.

"Eh? Why? You're not completely healed yet!" I exclaim as I grip his hand.

Though he pulled his hand away and looked at the self inflicted injury in interest.

"Hm, impressive. I didn't think you'll be able to heal it when I sliced it open with my knife covered in poison."

"Hah?!" I yelled and smacked my brother, "Poison? What the hell were you thinking?!" I scowled and brought the formerly injured hand back into my hand.

Sorata chuckled at my reaction and patted my head with his free hand, "You already took out the poison, if it wasn't out, my hand would have been turning purple."

"How strong was the poison anyways?"

"It could kill a full grown man in 10 minutes."

My mouth fell open as I stared at my older brother with my green eyes, "What were you gonna do if I wasn't able to heal you?" I spluttered.

Sorata shrugged his broad shoulders, "Well, then I would have died, huh?"

His nonchalant answer made me scowl and hit his head, "Baka! What point is there when you die?!"

The brunette winced in pain at the force of my hit and raised his hands in defense, "H-Hey! I was just kidding! I had the antidotes!" To prove his point, he pulled out a small vial out of his jacket.

I glared harshly at the male in front of me. He really was an idiot.....

But I started to grin when I realized something, "Today is the fourteenth day since we started training, so I'm done."

Sorata scowled at my comment and harshly bit on the lollipop that he popped back into his mouth, "I still don't want you to go, I don't trust you."

I laughed lightly at his reaction, he really seemed upset, but I survived his almost impossible training, so there's no way he's stopping me.

"Well, I'm going to go take a shower and start packing up, it's going to be September firsts in two day, I'm leaving tomorrow." I sent my older brother a smirk and wiggled my fingers at him, "Ttyl."

A chuckle escaped my mouth as I heard Sorata groan in frustration. As I walked through the Zoldyck mansion's hallways, I smiled at few of the butler who bowed at me as I passed.

This large mansion has become easier to navigate through and I rarely got lost anymore.

I quickly found the familiar door of a certain person's room and knocked on it with a grim look.

I hate to do this but... Hah...

Hearing a small come in, I entered the room with a forced smile.

"NIJIKA?! What are you wearing?!" Kikyo screeched as she appeared in front of me.

I sheepishly laughed and rubbed my neck, "I came here to discuss about my clothes actually."

As my words left my mouth, I noticed Kikyo's mouth tug up into a smile that almost made me shudder.

"I'll be leaving to York Shin tomorrow to meet up with Killua." I started as I rubbed my bare arm, "But Sorata-nii said since the Phantom Troupe are going to be there, I decided I'll need to be disguised."

Kikyo clapped her hands as she cackled, "Oh I have a perfect dress for you!"

I swear dropped and shook my head, "Kikyo-San I need to stay low, I was wondering if you can get me a silver wig and blue contacts..." I admit and explain, "If I have the same color of hair and eye as Killua I could say I'm his younger sister... And clothes that are in fashion right now so I'll blend in with the crowd..."

The older woman seemed disappointed she couldn't dress me in one of those horrendous dress but reluctantly agreed.

As soon as the words of agreement, 'yes' left her lips, I bolted out of the room and rushed to where Amane and Tsubone were most likely working.

Finding the two female I grew closer to, I asked, or should I say begged for them to provide me with backpack of clothes and a snapback hat that I would take when I leave.

Both of them happily agreed and insisted they will help me bath.

"Nijika-sama, your hair has grown a lot since I have first met you," Tsubone mumbled as she combed it with a brush after the bath.

I frowned and looked at myself in the mirror with hair that passed my shoulders.

"Please make it look how it was when I came here for the first time," I immediately stated as I took the long stand of brown hair my hand.

"But Nijika-sama it looks gorgeous!" Ayame exclaimed as she stood next to her grandmother.

I shrugged my shoulders, "It might look pretty now but as soon as I start moving, it'll get tangled and get in the way. I won't be able to fight with long hair anyways."

With long hair, it'll be easier for someone to grab my hair and stop by movement... I'm not taking the chance or risk.

Tsubome nodded and brought scissors to cut my hair. The older female expertly slid the tool through my hair and cut the locks as I sat in a chair in front of a mirror.

Soon my head felt lighter and my neck felt a bit cold.

"I am done Nijika-sama," Tsubone stated as she brushed away the hair that fell on my shoulders and lap.

I grinned at myself in the mirror and ran my hand through my much shorted hair that only reached my neck. Ah... I missed this....

"Thank you Tsubone!" I gave the female a closed eye smile.

The female butler's lips twitched slightly, stopping herself from smiling before she bowed.

"It was my pleasure Nijika-sama," I snickered at her response. Seriously so emotionless.

>>TIME SKIPS NEXT DAY>>

"Eh..." I grumbled as I stared at myself in the mirror.

"Oh! You look like the female version of that brat!" Sorata laughed as he sat in a couch that was placed in the room.

My usually emerald green eyes were electric blue because of the contacts and my brown hair was hidden beneath long silver locks of hair that reached my mid back. It was secured to my head with multiple hair pins, making it almost impossible for it to slip off.

I don't know how Tsubone and Kikyo were able to, but they made my brown eyebrows the same color as the wig to make it less suspicious.

"This white blouse is really frilly," I frowned and slightly complained to Tsubone, "And this blue skirt, do you guys have bike shorts to wear underneath?" I pulled down the blue skirt slightly lower and pulled on the black thigh high socks that were also provided to me.

"It looks cute Nijika," Sorata complimented as he laid on the coach, reading a book, which I found very unusual.

I turned towards Tsubone who nodded and looked at her granddaughter, "Amane, go get the shorts, I believe it's next to the backpack we packed for Nijika-sama."

The young black haired woman nodded and quickly followed her grandmother's order, leaving Tsubone, Sorata and I alone.

I stared at the female butler in interest as she too looked into my now blue orbs.

Was something wrong?

"Nijika-sama please stay safe, the Phantom Troupe really is not a group that should be underestimated."

Tsubone's sentence surprised me. Really, everyone is so freaked out that I might meet the Phantom Troupe, the possibility is too slim!

Though to assure the butler, I nodded my head in agreement.

Seeming to be satisfied by my answer, Tsubone's strange 'M' shaped hair bounced slightly as she pulled a box from behind her.

Her eyes glimmered with amusement as she opened the container and showed me what were inside.

My nose scrunched up in distaste, as I took a quick step back.

"I'm terribly sorry Nijika-sama, I am aware that you dislike heals very much, but Kikyo-sama insisted you wore these," Tsubone stated, not hiding the chuckle as she watched me scowl.

I eyes the black healed shoes warily. I do admit the were nice looking things, simple and cute. Though I wasn't too sure if they would be comfortable enough to run in.

Tsubone pulled out the elegant heel and placed it in her hand,"Nijika-San, were you aware that heels could be a very powerful weapon?"

That immediately caught my attention, weapon? How-oh huh.... I think I understand...

Tsubone chuckled once again at my reaction, "It's very possible to kill a person with these, especially if you hold the power of nen," the butler handed me the heels which I took still unwillingly, "Especially with a male opponent, you can make them cry out in pain and suffer their whole life.

My eyes shot towards Sorata who let out a choking noise from the back of his throat. His face was pale as he sweat slightly.

My older brother and I shared a look before we looked at Tsubone in horror, the sadistic streak in her eyes made a shiver go down my back.

Ouch, one kick with these babies, the males could say good bye to their future babies and welcome scramble eggs...

Shivering at the thought, I slipped the heels on and stood next to Tsubone. At that moment Amane came back into the room with a backpack on her shoulders with short black bicycle pants in her hand.

"Here you go Nijika-sama," Amane smiled as she handed me the clothing that I gladly took with a thank you.

Slipping them on, not bothering to take my new healed shoes off, I patted myself down.

Two knifes in my bra, and a knife hiding horizontally beneath my belt.

Hm, maybe I'll get a new weapon or something at the auction, there must be something good... A new short distance weapon and some kind of long distance weapon...
