5

After lunch Yamato decides to kidnap us and take us to building 5 for training. Jyugo and Uno pout and complain as re near our destination. Rock is talking about how he plans to fight the Monkey again and Nico keeps shouting about how he wants to introduce me to Master. I look at the boys and can't help but smile.

'These kids are so innocent. They remind me of my daughter.'
The thought of my little girl makes my smile even bigger. Suddenly the train is quiet and it comes to a stop. I look up at the boys and see them looking at Yamato. He just sits there smiling.

"Alright everyone! Let's go do some training!" Yamato shouts and throws both Uno and Jyugo over his shoulders and carries them off the train.

"Come on (Y/N)! I want you too meet Master!" Nico grabs my hand and pulls me off the train. I'm so caught off guard by his strength that I nearly loose my balance and grab on to Rock's arm, pulling him along with us.

"Nico! Slow Down!" Rock shouts as we are pulled onto the training grounds. Nico looks around frantically and then runs over to the Monkey.
"Supervisor! Where's Master?!"

"58 and the rest of his cell are at the infirmary(?)."

"WHAT!?!"

"Damn it! Don't go yelling in my ear!!!"

"What happened?"

"Something about a cactus. Now go bug someone is else." Monkey walks away.

Nico sits in a corner and hugs his knees. I walk over and crouch down in front of him. He just sighs and looks down.
"Are you that worried about your Master?"

"No. I know he's going to be fine. But I'm sad that you don't get to meet him."

"Well it's not the end of the world. I'm stuck here for a long time kid. I'm sure I'll meet him soon enough." I smile and place my had on top of his head. "Don't worry about it, okay? It's not like you to pout. I'd much rather see you smile." He looks up at me and smiles.

"Okay (Y/N)! But what now?"

"Hmmm. How about you go and keep those two happy while I train with Rock." I point at the sulking duo and pull a pack of cards out of thin air. I hand them to him and nudge him towards the others. "Go have fun, okay?"

"Okay!" And with that he is running full speed to them. I walk over to Rock and look up at him. 'Damn. Am I really this short?'

"So the Monkey said no huh."

"Yeah. He said he won't fight me til I learn how to fight properly. How am I supposed to learn if no will teach me?!"

"I'll teach you." I say and walk towards the center of the training grounds.

"What?" He looks at me like I'm joking.

"Get your ass over here so I can teach you. Can't learn from over there can you?"

"No offense (Y/N). But what do you know about fighting?" Rock chuckles and looks at me.

"More than you know kid. Want me to show you?"

"Sure. But I won't be going easy on you." He smirks and puts up his hands.

"Then neither will I. Now come at me with all you've got."

And with that Rock swings at me with full force. However it is rather easy for me dodge his attacks. With every attack his anger and frustration grows. His moments become sloppy and easy to predict. I don't even need to defend myself. All I have to do is keep moving. But I shouldn't drag this out. With one swift motion I knock Rock back with a simply flick to the forehead.

"Seriously?!?! You can even do the same thing as the Monkey!!!" He yells from the ground.

"Do what?"

"Kick my ass with only your finger. It's the same move he did when I fought him."

"Well it's not that hard. And I can see why he doesn't want to fight you again." I walk over and stare down at him. "You let your emotions get the best of you. That causes your movements to slow down. At first you did decently then it went down hill from there. You have no plan and just swing your arms about mindlessly. The more you miss the more your temper shows. It's makes it easy to see how to brat you. You think that pure strength is all it takes to win a fight. You couldn't be more wrong. It's takes strategy and learning from your opponent. You need to use your head."

"You learned all that just by that one fight?"

"Yes. And-!"

Upa's POV

"I still don't understand why you two insisted on coming with me."

"Well it was his fault that you got hurt." Liang shrugs. Both of us look back at Qi. "Trash."

"Why do you guys keep calling me that?" He sulks as we continue walking towards the training grounds.

"Because you are lazy, useless and trash. All you do is play with your chemicals and lay around all day. You do nothing productive. And-." We all stop as we hear a familiar voice lecturing someone on their fighting. I freeze up and both of my cell mates look shocked. Before I know what I'm doing I'm running towards the voice. As I'm running a young woman comes into view I can feel tears in the corners of my eyes and a single word leaves my mouth as I near her.

(Y/N) POV

"MASTER!!!!" A pair of arms wrap around my waist and they cling onto my tightly. Almost as if they fear that if they let go I will disappear completely.

"U-Upa?!" My voice shakes slightly as I say the child's name. He nods his head against me and I can feel tears welling up. I hug him tightly. Everyone is staring at us shocked.

I kneel down to his height grab his face with my hands. Tears are cascading silently down his face and it breaks my heart to see him like this. I kiss his forehead and use my thumbs to wipe away his tears.

"Shush sweetheart. It's okay." I pull him into another hug and see both Liang and Qi off to the side. Ups tightens his hold and mumbles into my shoulder.
"I thought I would never see you again." He pulls back slightly and wipes his eyes. I give him a small smile and look at the other two.

"Is he the only one going to give me a hug here?" I call over to them. That's all it takes for them to come running over and tackling Upa and myself.

"Looks like you know them pretty well." Jyugo says as he and the others walk up to us.

"MASTER!!!" Nico shouts once he sees Up getting out of the pile. He runs up and hugs him.

"Why are you here?" Upa groans and struggles to get out of Nico's grasp.

"I wanted to see you and introduce you to my new cell mate (Y/N)!" Nico smiles and points at where I'm still being held down by Qi and Liang.

"WHY DO YOU GET TO BE MY MASTER'S CELL MATE!?!?!" Upa shouts in fear of what might happen to me.

"Your Master?" Nico tilts his head and looks back and forth between us.

"You know Upa. You sounded a lot like Nico whenever he sees you." Uno laughs.

"I sounded nothing like him!!!"

"You did shout Master and ran up to hug her the moment you saw her." Qi says from where he is still lying on top of me. Liang at this point is just sitting next me on the ground.

"Get off her you trash!"

"Nah. She makes a great pillow." Qi closes his eyes and attempts to fall asleep. I roll my eyes and throw him off me. He lands with a thud and a groan leaves his mouth. "Just as mean as always."

I stand up and dust myself off when Ups clings to my hand and Liang wraps an arm around my shoulders. I kiss Liang's cheek when I hear someone shout at us. I turn and look behind me as best as I can and see the Monkey walking towards us.

"Oh, supervisor Gokuu. Is there something we can help you with?" I give him a closed eyed smile and he stops in his tracks.

"58, 2, and 71. You were to be brought to me after you saw Dr. Otogi. Why are you here?"

"..." None of them know how to answer.

"They saw me and couldn't pass up the chance to have our little family reunion. My apologies for distracting from their task. And you said that they had to see a Doctor?" It's then that I see the bandage wrapped around Upa's hand. "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HAND?!?" My motherly instinct kicks in just as my instant panic does.

"Nothing. Just a small incident with a cactus is all." Upa says and looks away from me.

"A cactus? What exactly happened?"
None if them answer me and they all avoid my gaze.

"Qi. Tell me what happened to Upa's hand."

"I wanted to hold his cactus after he told me I wasn't allowed to and I did anyway."

"And?"

"And when he saw I panicked and dropped it."

"Let me guess. He tried to catch it and he did. But he caught it by the actual plant and not the pot."

"Yeah." Both boys sulk in embarrassment and Upa's face turns a slight shade of red when I kiss his hand. "A kiss makes everything feel better." I wink at him and smile.
