"Training? Oh, yes, yes. I'm... ready."

"Did something happen? You space out."

"No, no. Nothing happened. Let's get started."

"Very well."

"Hey, uh... Uncle Wu?" Lloyd asked as he tried to find his words.

"Hm?" Wu lowered the cup of tea he held in his hand. "Yes, nephew?"

"Uh.. I know I've asked you this question before, but... do you know where Morro is?" There was no visit from Wu in which Lloyd had not asked him this question.

"And I'll give you the same answer as always: No. I don't know."

"I don't understand. Why can't I see him?"

"It's complicated."

"So you know where he is."

"No. I do not know."

"But- Why does this family have to be so- so complicated and full of secrets?! I just want to see my brother! I ask so much?"

Wu didn't answer, just looked down. The blonde realized from the look, that's a yes.

"Of course I'm asking too much. Who knows where he is now, alone.."

'Like me..'

He looked at his Uncle and Master for the last time that day.

"See you next time, at training."

------

"Ok...! Ok...! I can't..."

"Already given up?"

A new voice had made its debut. A feminine one this time.

"Oh... who are you?"

"Bansha."

"Morro."

The new ghost swirled around him slowly. After two laps, she stopped in front of him and looked up and down.

"You have flexibility. You're pretty fast, and with the power of the wind you can be even faster."

"Why are you training me?"

"Because you're the Ghost Warrior and Master of the Wind."

"Is that why?" His voice sounds sad. "It's like my dad..."

"Kid, no." Soul, now in his human form, lowered himself to his level and made him look him in the eyes. "Listen, we've been watching you since those horrible parents left you at the orphanage. We saw everything. We know what you've been through and why you're still breathing."

He couldn't fight that argument, knowing it was true.

"I'm sorry..." He pulled his hair. "Au! Why did you do that?!"

"I don't want to hear any apology from you."

"But- "

"No." He gets up. "No more breaks. Let's move on."

------

"Do we... do we really have to do this?"

Lloyd looked at Kai and Jay anxiously. Kai wanted to train more, even though the time for today was ready up. And Jay, Jay had nothing else to do and he agreed. They had both persuaded the blonde to join them, and now Lloyd regretted accepting.

"Oh come on Greenie, a little extra workout never hurts. Especially for you, it's important." Jay told him.

"But- What will Master Wu say?"
