Nabiki had come out of the monstrosity with the left side of her torso and arm shattered and missing the fingers of her right hand. Ukyou had lost much of her lower half and had to be dragged off the course, but she was healing. Shampoo was a pin cushion of nails and was taken off do to the fact that she, for the moment could neither see, smell, nor hear.
Kodachi had flown through with flying colors and continued to spout more about how nostalgic this all was. She'd lost a hand, but didn't seem to notice that at all.
Nuku Nuku had gone last and...well Jetta decided she'd need a special obstacle course for her...no the girl was an android, so she couldn't fix her in the case of a real problem...maybe just tell her NOT to break the obstacle course next time.
"Why are we doing this again?" Nabiki asked, being the only werecat other than Kodachi capable of speech at the moment. Nuku Nuku was currently cleaning up the mess she'd made...and being very cheerful about it.
"To insure protection under all circumstances of course!" Kodachi said in a patronizing manner. "It is an ancient technique known as Ao Dah Jong. The training consists of causing as much pain to the trainee as possible until they are able to ignore such things!"
"Ehhh," Nabiki blinked.
"You were trained as a demon hunter before you were a werecat," Jetta asked, recognizing the technique name. That explained a great deal actually. Demon hunters, at least the type that trained in Ao Dah Jong, were brash, rude, arrogant, slightly insane (understandable given their training regimes), devious, manipulative, cocky, and generally much
"Demon hunter?" Kodachi asked. "I've seen few demons to hunt. My brother controlled my training until such time as I achieved the glorious state of mental purity that I now have."
Nabiki, pained though she was, and Jetta translated that as follows:
Kuno trained Kodachi until such time as her mind snapped and she became dangerous to him.
"I might need to have a talk with your brother," Jetta said grimmly.
