Naieves woke up to the sound of the 10 minute warning bell ringing. It was time for school again. She dragged herself out of bed and quickly took a shower, then got dressed in jeans, black sneakers, and a black t-shirt. She braided her hair into two braids and went to head out the door of her dorm room. As she was about to open the door, she saw something shine on her nightstand. Oh, I almost forgot she thought, rushing over and putting the shining thing on, which happened to be the ring that Hershel had got her last year. Then she walked out the door and downstairs. First was Fighting, her class. She put on a light smile as she walked to the Fighting "dojo".

Hershel gulped as he saw the look on the small girls face, scars were everywhere. "Who-Who are you?"
Kazumi's face lightened up and almost tackled Hershel. Hershel felt like he had a bond between this little girl and him.
Hershel knelt down and asked again "Who are you?"
Kazumi smiled "I'm Kazumi," she blushed and disconnected from him.
"You're my brother.."
Hershel's eyebrows furrowed, he decided he could believe her.
Honestly, what else could he do? He didn't have much memory from before the lab, and he definitely had a connection with her.
"I'm Hershel... Where's your- Er, our mom?"
Kazumi frowned "She-She died."
Hershel shrugged "I didn't really know her, but I bet she was awesome."
Kazumi shook her head "Nah, she was actually always sad, because you had gotten taken away."
Hershel frowned to her "Ah well. I have to get to class, but.. Stay in here" He opened up his door to his room and Fenrir bounded out onto Kazumi.
Kazumi laughed "Nice puppy!"
Hershel said "Yeah.. He's been my only company besides N-" he didn't finish the sentence, he missed her a lot over the summer. He didn't get to see her much, he was too busy training.
"Just stay with him okay?" Kazumi walked into the room and nodded.
Hershel thought about if she was lying or not, still.
If she is, I'll deal with it later.
Hershel started towards the fighting room.

Kuro woke up to the bell. He had just had a nightmare, that seemed real, like a message. Kuro quickly got dressed. He remembered he had Fighting Class today. 'New Year new people.' Kuro had learned a lot since summer began, he decided to test his abilities during fighting class. Kuro walked towards the Fighting class, he sat down, and waited for more people to come in.

It had been awhile since she had been in the Fighting room. She saw Kuro and waved to him. She then thought of what she would do for the class. Finally that worry was out of the way!
She walked over to Kuro.
"Hey Kuro, how's your summer been?" she asked.

Kuro saw Naieves approach him. "Not that great, but I still had some fun, what about yours?" Kuro started to remember the group of Demons that had attacked him, they wanted him to go to the Underworld. Kuro looked at his hand, he still had the Alchemy triangle there. 'Dammit' Kuro quickly hid his Left hand around his back. His Katana was folded in a red cloth in his back.

Hershel made his way into the fighting room and saw Naieves.
Hershel smiled at her and sat over on some mats.

"It was ok..." Naieves trailed off. She saw him hide his left hand, as her eyes flickered to that area when he had moved his hand, but she didn't ask him, as it wasn't her business. Her eyes flickered away from his hand.

Naieves saw Hershel and smiled. She walked over to him. "Hey, how have you been?" she asked, trying to sound casual.

Hershel stretched, he was tired.

"Pretty good, although, a strange girl did come and claim she was my sister.." he trailed off.

'Hopefully she ignores my hand' Kuro saw Hershel walk in so he waved. Kuro thought if he should start to train with the dummies, he brushed that thought aside, he decided to wait and have a small practice fight against someone, if Naieves let him since she was the teacher. Kuro started to wonder were Alice was, he was unable to see her at all, he thought if she was going to come in.

Naieves nodded.
"That is strange..." she said. She sat down next to him on the mat.
"I've missed you. A lot."

Alice looked around and walked into fighting walking over to the group. "Hey Kuro, Naieves and Hershal." She said waking over and standing close to Kuro.

Hershel nodded, "I missed you too.." He hadn't told her that he was goikng to be pushing himself every day.
He felt weak most of the time, after he couldn't kill Naieves mother..
But that's another story.

Kuro started to get wiggly and exited his power was sneaking out, he tried to contain it. Kuro saw Alice, she sat next to him. "Hey Alice... How's your summer been?"

"Hey Alice, I think I'll begin class now, even though there aren't many people here." she said, getting up. "You'll all be fighting me one at a time and telling me what I'm doing wrong. Consider it a test."

"Well Shawn keep me.locked inside like usual but I did get though volumes 3 and 4 of magic and spells so I'm on five and six. How has yours been?" She said leaning closer to him, he is Her bf so well why not.

Hershel smiled, he had been preparing for this all summer
"Alright. Sounds good, Nai."

Kuro let out a little laugh. "Wow, Mine's not been that great." Kuro saw that Naieves said that we were going to fight her, "Sounds good to me Naieves" 'I'd better control myself during the fight, can't let my power leak out. Kuro was starting to get a little excited he was shaking. 'Control it!'

Now let's see, fight one at a time or all together? Well I suppose Hershel's pretty experienced, but I don't know about the others...that makes it more interesting, so let's do them all together... "All right, you'll all be fighting me at one time and telling me what I'm doing wrong, we'll see how this turns out, a trip to the Nurse's office for me or not." Naieves said, smirking a bit. She got into a fighting stance and focused on her hearing.

Hershel nodded and held up his fists in his preferred stance. Fists slightly above eyes.

Kuro stood up, he let go of his katana and took the Jeet Kun Do style. He ran towards the wall. He wall jumped and landed in the roof. He started to spine jump. He was getting ready, he was trying to increase his speed. He jumped down and started to run around Naieves.
He waited for the moment to strike.
