The dark clouds that once were hovering over Gabi turned into cirrus clouds. Gabi woke up due to the sunlight beaming on his skin. Once he wiped the eye boogers from his eyes to see he felt a heavy being laying on him.
( why does it feel like a boulder crushing me?)
Gabi looked down and saw the culprit that was causing him discomfort and it was no other than Jorogumo.
"What?! Jorogumo get up now! " Gabi shouted so loud that the crows that were once hiding in the tree flew away from the noise.
Jorogumo was moving in her sleep hearing her master screaming. Her defense instinct woke her up and she quickly got on all 8 of her legs ready to attack anything and anyone to harm her master but her sudden movements caused more harm than good because Gabi grabbed his crotch and was screaming louder than usual.
"GET YOUR LEG OFF MY FAMILY JEWELS !" the poor boy hollers while doing a breathing exercise.
Jorogumo moved swiftly and turned into her human form to bow to her master sincerely "I'm sorry very very super duper sorry, master."
Gabi sat up from the ground and pitied the girl for looking deplorable seeing heavy tears coming from her eyes. " Okay. Okay, I understand that you're sorry. Stop being like this…" Gabi told the woman.
Once Gabi recovered from that depressing scene that Jorogumo performed to him he realized that his body doesn't hurt like it did yesterday.
"Wait a minute." Gabi put his arm in front of his face and noticed that the cut marks disappeared and his forearm was back on her body. Gabi stood up and patted his body from his face to his ankles and could feel his skin was smooth again and did not feel any scratch marks on his body.
( I'm completely healed. But how did this happen?)
Jorogumo could see that Gabi had questions about his body so she spoke up to answer his question.
" Lady Higanbana healed you once you passed out. She was very impressed with what you achieved last night and hopes you will continue to excite her some more." Jorogumo informed the boy about the events that had taken place when he was asleep.
" Oh. I assume she would leave me for dead because she was tired of my cowardness." Gabi replied.
Jorogumo shook her head at his statement. " To be quite frank you two both need each other so minds will get used to it, master."
( Hate to admit it but Jorogumo is right. I need to learn how to use this power because right now I am useless.)
Gabi was so into his thoughts about how to get stronger until Jorogumo broke his concentration. " Master, it's better if we train while it's daylight because once the darkness takes over the shiny skies that's when all the bloodthirsty monsters will go on a rampage to cause chaos "
Gabi took her advice seriously and followed her lead. "Besides you, I have the Kappa and the Kamaitachi, before I leave this place I just don't want the other special grade curses I also want other curses to add to my collection." Gabi let Jorogumo know his motives.
Jorogumo did nothing but nod at his announcement. " I think that's a great idea. "
The two walk to the river to freshen themselves before they go into the hard training that Gabi wants to do.
*******
The two were at the river and took off their garments. Jorogumo made Gabi sit on the huge rock that's in the middle of the river. She grabs the cloth washes her master back and treats his body with care. She made sure every inch of his body was wiped clean.
" I must say, master your body in good shape. I bet your little girlfriend admires you very much." Jorogumo tries to start a conversation with the boy but soon she realizes that it was a mistake and it made the space between them more awkward.
Gabi scoffed at the girl, " Don't have one and I'm not going to have an insect woman be the first person to ever flirt with me "
Jorogumo remained quiet and Gabi stood up from the rock "I'm ready for my training." he walked out of the river and didn't dare to dry himself, he wanted to train bare and free.
" Since I don't have any training experience, I hope you can help me. I'm ready to do anything."
Jorogumo walked in front of him. " I will try my best but you won't get strong overnight. It will take a lot of hard work and dedication. "
" As I expected. I want to get this over with no matter what plus I have to kill the other special grade curses to get out of this hell hole."
Jorogumo sat on the ground " Since I'm training you I can refrain from calling you master since you will be listening to me." she smiled
Gabi scoffed at the girl thinking she was full of herself " As if."
"Then I suppose you will have to train yourself, Gabi "Jorogumo didn't back down.
( First Higanbana now her. These curses are getting on my nerves.)
Gabi looks everywhere but besides Jorogumo's eyes, " Okay…. Jorogumo." he mutters under his breath.
Jorogumo took this advantage to get her master to obey her " Huh? Gabi I quite didn't catch that. "
Gabi sucked his teeth " OKAY. I SAID SURE NOW LET'S DO THIS! "
Jorogumo smiles at him "Now do 50 sit up, 50 push-ups, 50 jumping jacks, 50 squats, and run up and back this 250 meters along the river and that's the start of your training."
Gabi stood there dumbfounded at the woman " Huh! That's way too much. I'm going to pass out before I even do the 250-meter run!" Gabi exclam.
" You said you would do anything to get this over with. You taught training would be easy Gabi." Jorogumo bluntly told the miserable boy
( This woman going to pay when I'm finishing this.)
" Fine," Gabi was starting with the push-ups and he was doing okay until he felt a large pressure on his back causing him to fall flat on the ground
" Sorry Gabi but you look like you need some weight to challenge yourself. You can do it!" Jorogumo cheerfully said while sitting down on his back with her legs folded like in a pretzel.
" I hate my life…" Gabi finally said with his face being close up on the ground tasting the dirt that came into his mouth.
