9 - Far away from everything

Akane wakes up the next morning. She turns around and sees that Shiro isn't on her bed. Akane get's up and get's ready. She goes outside, but as soon as she opens the door a confetti explodes into her head.

SHIRO: Yaaaaay! It was your first night here!

Akane looks at her with pure anger. Shiro doesn't seem to notice it.

SHIRO: Common let's go on breakfast.

She goes and Akane follows her, still angry. They get to the dinning room where everyone is already sitting and eating. Akane takes her food and sitts on the other side of the table away from everyone. Mira smiles genly.

MIRA: You know, you can sit with us

Akane doesn't anwser. Mira looks away and whispers.

MIRA: Or not...

SEI: Don't worry. We need to give her time.

''AKANE'': I didn't want to talk with them or do anything with them. I ate alone, trained alone, basicly I did everything alone for almost a two weeks.

Akane was in the training room. She's training alone like always. As she's attacking a puppet with the sword. She destroys it, get's another one and trains on. Sei comes, leans against the wall and watches her.

SEI: You need to do something else than just fight.

Akane trains on.

AKANE: Leave me alone.

SEI: You need to toughen your arms.

Akane throws her sword on the ground and shouts.

AKANE: You defeated me once. Isn't that enough?!

SEI: There is always room for improvment.

He comes to her.

SEI: Attack me.

At first Akane was only looking at him and than she attacks him, but Sei blocks it.

SEI: Toughen your arms.

She swings her other hand at his face and he blocks it.

SEI: That's it.

She does it again.

SEI: Now duck.

She ducks and he swings his leg above her.

SEI: Attack again.

They do this again and again. Eventually he grabs her hands with one hand, with the other he grabs her waist and enables her movements, their faces are close to each other, they are looking in each others eyes.

SEI: You must be ready for everything. You must predict what your opponent will do.

It was only then that he realised how close to her he really was. He blushes, realeses her and steps away from her.

SEI: Oh, s-sorry.

AKENE: How do you know all this things?

Sei smiles akwardly.

SEI: Haha I spent a lot of time in here... But it's not all about just fighting. Common let me show you around.
