Carefully, just as Yami instructed him to, Hatsu used his telekinesis to slowly pull the bullets and wires out of his gun. He had the gun laying on its side on the floor, and by now the wires were stretched out past it. Three of the strands were intact, but the ones Ayl had torn up needed to be repaired. Hatsu matched each piece of wire to another so that all the wires were the same length and each had a bullet on the end.<br/><br/>"Now what?" Hatsu asked Yami.<br/><br/>Yami was materialized before him, kneeling on the opposite side of the gun that he was. "Line up each end of wire," Yami said, "so that there's no over-lap or under-lap. Then concentrate your electricity where the ends meet. If you do it right, the ends will fuze back together."<br/><br/>Hatsu reached down to take the wire ends in his, but Yami stopped him. "No, this is a good opportunity to practice accurate multitasking," the demon said. "Hold them together with your telekinesis, while bonding them with your electricity."<br/><br/>Hatsu tried six times, and six times he failed. He either spread the electricity too far and they didn't bond, or he dropped the wires, or both. When the boy failed again Yami spoke up. "You have to focus," the demon said. "Do you know what the human trick is for patting one's head while rubbing one's stomach?"<br/><br/>Hatsu shook his head.<br/><br/>"Start with one, until you get the rhythm of it, then put it on auto pilot. Then push your focus to the next one."<br/><br/>Hatsu attempted to apply those words to this situation. He pulled the wires together with his telekinesis and sort of locked part of his mind there, then he put his more active focus toward fuzing the strands together. Again he failed many times, but eventually he was successful. After a few trials and errors on the next fusion, he seemed to get a feel for it, proceeding with minimal issues.<br/><br/>After all the wires had been fuzed back together, Yami instructed him to yank on the wires (With his telekinesis. The wires would slit his hands if he tried to do it physically). He said if they snapped, he'd have to fuse them again, and if they stayed, he'd done a good enough job. One snapped and was promptly repaired again.<br/><br/>"Now," Yami said, "how do you feel?"<br/><br/>Hatsu furrowed his brow. "What do you mean?"<br/><br/>"Any headaches?" the demon clarified.<br/><br/>Hatsu was surprised to notice that there was nothing but a dull ache at the back of his mind. "...Not really," he said.<br/><br/>"Focusing is becoming less of a strain for you. We'll continue with lessons that involve strict focus and accuracy. Switch your gun to telekinesis mode and try to hit me with all six bullets out," Yami instructed. "Perhaps by the time we go looking for Vaan you'll be able to do the more minor techniques extensively with no trouble. If you do well enough with the basics," he tempted, "I'll teach you some more advanced techniques."<br/><br/>And they continued training again. Another four hours had probably passed since Hatsu arrived back at the warehouse. Yet still, though he was much faster now, he hadn't hit the demon once with<span style="font-style: italic">any</span>of his bullets. Still though, the demon was forced to let the boy rest for a moment. He wouldn't get any significant results from his vessel unless he was given time to rest his muscles, dull his headache, and fill his stomach. It was about dinner time after all.<br/><br/>--------------------<br/><br/>Hiei fell asleep, resting his body as he waited for his demon to slowly heal it.
