Get you- Illumi HxH FF Black reader

Part 24

POV: Y/n

This morning I woke up early today, today I'm getting my ass beat aggressively again. I went to the bathroom, stretched a ton and took a cold shower. I was still thinking about yesterday. If Canary's attacks have a certain pattern, I can memorize it and be able to block and/or dodge her hits. I'm so happy I'm a smart dancer with the memory of an elephant (#modesty). I went out of the shower, dressed up and was ready to get my ass beat less than yesterday. I went back to my room, Illumi had just woken up, I greeted him with a smile and waited for him to finish his morning routine and eat breakfast.

After breakfast and my daily dose of irritating Milluki for shits and giggles. I went to the garden, I greeted Canary with a smile and got ready. This time I waited to be actually ready to say that I was ready. At first I was going to let her hit me so I could get used to the pattern -like I said I have to regards towards my well being- but obviously nothing ever goes good for me. Because she was attacking me in a completely different way than yesterday, like the speed, the strength was completely different, she hit me in different spots than yesterday. 

You know what? Fuck it, let her beat my ass. I focused and treated it like a choreography, every time she hit a spot for the second time, I would memorize it and you know how third time's the charm, I dodged the hit right. I smiled and whispered a small "Yes! Finally!". Now I focused on dodging her every time. After a while it was a constant game of hit and dodge. After a while I decided to attack too. Once you got the hang of it, it was easy, it felt like dancing, it was really fun. All I did was every time I dodged a hit I would attack whenever there was an unprotected spot. Of course my hits weren't as painful as that cane of her's but it did the job enough. 

After a while Kikyo stopped us:

"

- That's enough. My goodness Y/n, you're way better than yesterday, still not good enough but you're getting there

- Thank you ma'am. It wan't really a compliment but you got to learn to appreciate shit

- You did good today Y/n. How did you manage to dodge my hits? Canary asked

- Thanks, and to be honest, a magician never reveals his secrets. I put a finger on my lips and smiled

- Go take a shower, lunch is in 45 minutes. After that we'll train some more. Kikyo said before leaving

- Thank you ma'am, I'll see you later Canary

"

I want to my room with a smile on my face. I was really proud of myself, and I didn't get injured much today either. I entered my room and greeted Illumi:

"

- You look better than yesterday, how was it?

- It was great, I finally got the hang of it and dodged like 80% of her hits, and managed to hit her back too. It got fun after a while

- That's good to hear. How did you do that?

- I told Canary it was a secret... But I can't keep my mouth shut so I'll tell you. I sat next to him

- Alright, go ahead

- Basically, you know I'm a dancer with an incredible memory (#modesty) and I realized, you basically have to treat fighting like dancing. Like Canary always attacks in a certain pattern, after getting hit once or twice, I learned that pattern by heart and started dodging her hits. Once you start dodging it becomes muscle memory. Then you just have to find weak spots and attack. Super cool right? I said excited

- Yeah, really impressive I have to admit. It's smart, you're taking something you're good at and applying it to something you're not good at

- First of all rude, not my fault I wasn't raised to be a professional fighter. We're not supposed to be pros at fighting in the outside world

- Anyway, go shower, then we'll eat

- Alright give me some time

"

I happily did my celebration dance towards the bathroom. I undressed and looked at myself in the mirror, my bruises were fading and today I didn't look bad I mean barely any visible bruises, and no swollen spots or anything. So that was good. I showered, put some different clothes on and went out. We went to eat lunch, this time the whole family was here -sadly- so I won't be able to piss off Milluki as much as I would like to. We ate like always, took some time to digest and went back to the garden. I got ready and started fighting Canary again, the pattern was different that earlier but it didn't take me as much time to memorize it. I fought her until sunset. To be honest it was tiring but a good workout, I had fun doing it too. 

It wasn't a victory or a K.O but I do think if I continue fighting her like that I'll end up beating her. She was a bit injured but seemed okay, I guess she was used to constantly fighting like the rest of this family. When it was over, I thanked her:

"

- Thanks for today Canary, you're doing great

- I still cannot figure out how I absolutely beat you yesterday but today you're barely hurt

- You might never figure it out love. I'll go shower again and eat dinner. See you tomorrow

- See you tomorrow

- Canary?

- Yes

- Give me a month, in a month I'll be able to beat you

- In your dreams

- My dreams always become reality

- Whatever

- Bye

"

I smiled and went back to my room. I think Canary is a cool person, I barely know her but she seems super cool. I greeted Illumi, showered -again- and put on some clothes I'll be able to sleep in. I ate dinner and went to sleep while playing with Illumi's hair -I always thought he had amazing hair-.
