Party

"never went to rehab, bunch of quitters there, not much help" e continued to sip the drink

"......" ki began to clean up the dirty house and set down a red box. " here, this will help with your training."

"still walking around blind here, what is it" he sat down in a chair off to the left side of the rom

ki snapped his fingers and kisho could see throughthe cloth with a bit of dim light coming through. "open it."

kisho barely opened his eyes, just enough to see the box "you want me to just break it open or is there some latch on it"

" its just a cardboard box. just lift the lid up." he sighed. his voice was tired and closer to an old man than to a happy go lucky 20 year old.

"sorry, but my eyes are still a litlle light sensitive, this drink isn't a miracle drug you know" he pulled the lid off the box and looked inside with half shut eyes, trying to make out the blurry image "what is it"

"its two leg braces. since youve been growing out your old ones i decided you needed them in a heavier size than they can give you. and they have two buttons on the inside that you can hook up to your heartbeat and bloodflow. if any of them goes below normal, they will trigger a signal to the entire willow clan. so either me, miyuki or any other willow in the area can help you."

"good idea for a gift, but i feel i should let you know, i've moved past my weighted attire" he pointed to his recent outfit hanging up on the wall "i've decided that i should move away from the heavy sluggish movements and use the full fluid fearth-weight movements of my families taijiquan"

ki nodded. "good."

"what's so good about it, you don't even know what taijquan is used for" he finished his drink and took off the headband so he could see, even though his head still hurt slightly

"no, but i know that whatever you decide for yourself is good enough for me." kis face was dark and his smile was gone. he was still pitch black from the experimentation too.

"you feeling okay, you don't look so good"

he smiled a bit. "im just tired... ill see you later." ki teleported out of kishos house

"cya around than" kisho waved at where ki was before he teleported, than picked up the two leg braces and looked them both over, inspecting the quality before placing them on the table and going about his daily routine
