Past - The blonde - 1

"I need a break.. Please.." A girl's weak voice diminished by the time it reached the wooden walls. There were only two figures visible on the enormous dojo. Only that girl's panting was audible in the dojo.

"Get up" A woman's thunderous voice completely engulfed the sound of the panting girl.

"I can't"

"..."

"Please...."

"..."

The girl knows the answer in her mother's silence. She had no choice but to get up. Using the support of her wooden stick, she stood wobbly on her feet and took her sword stance. Pointing her sword once again at her mother, she charged forward blindly. She no longer had the desire to win, but instead she just wanted this to be over, even if it meant a broken limb.

*WHAM!*

The Oriental woman withdrew her sword and mercilessly gave the girl a sidekick. The helpless girl landed 10 metres away, 4 metres in the air, and the other 6 metres by rolling on the floor. At the last of her hanging consciousness, she heard her mother say, "What a disgrace," and everything blackened out.

The next day.

"One more, come on, you can do it." A muscular blonde guy kept on cheering for his daughter while she was struggling with a push-up.

"GAAaaa"

"Don't waste my time. Come on girl, come on." He eagerly waited with a whistle in his mouth for his daughter to complete the push-up.

"WaH!" The girl collapsed on the hard, cold floor. The blonde guy removed the remaining 5 kg weight plate from her back. The girl no longer hid her tears, she started crying, but with no sign of pity for his daughter, he commanded the poor girl, "Again."

"What a waste of time." The blonde man left the weeping girl and went on to train his other children.

The next day,

*tak* tak* tak*

"Faster, faster." A well-groomed brunette woman kept on yelling at the tired girl. She wore a black long-sleeved zipper hoodie jacket and sweatpants.

*tak* tak* tak*

"More, faster, faster," she continued to yell at the girl who continued to strike the wooden dummy using her arms. Even after all that yelling, the girl's speed only seemed to be slowing down. The woman had no change of expression. She still has the same strict face.

"Don't stop for another 10 minutes." The girl continued to train with the dummy, and the woman strictly watched over her.

"You were as slow as ever, no improvement. You can go back to your room now. " At the end of her 10 minutes, the woman reviewed her day's progress.

"Yes, master." The girl bowed in respect and left for her room. On her way back, she heard her siblings giggling. This only made her bow her head even more in shame.

The next day,

"I am not well today. Tell mom I can't attend her class today," the young girl ordered the maid.

"Ok ma'am," she bowed. "They wouldn't care if you were absent." She continued after she lifted her head.

"Say again"

"You heard it right, girl. Stop calling me for such futile reasons. "

"I'm sorry," the girl replied. "But please convey this to my mother."

"Tch," and the maid left the room, along with half of her breakfast.

The same day.

The girl slept soundly on her soft bed. A boy who looked younger than that girl sat by her side on a chair. He looked confusingly at her blonde boyish hair, skinny face, and neck. A blanket was on top of her, which covered the rest of her body. The boy grew restless with every passing second, and at last he decided to do something.

"Here we go..... slow...ly", he murmured and held the blanket in between his fingers with great caution. Slowly and composedly, inch by inch, he removed the blanket from over her top. Her lime green polyester t-shirt came into light. After a few more seconds, her blue shorts came into his sight. Carefully putting aside the blanket, he gazed at her blue shorts for a minute. The girl is still in deep sleep.

*gulp*

Following the gulp, he stretched his hands forwards towards the waistband of her shorts. He was just a centimetre away when his wrist was held by the sleeping girl's hand, and the boy was pulled onto the bed beside the girl. The girl wrapped the boy by her legs before she ended up cuddling him in her arms like a teddy bear. Her one hand held his wrist tightly, while her other hand held his waist close to her.

The boy ended up in an uncomfortable position, his hands were stuck, one was getting sandwiched between the girl's legs and the other was held by the girl's hand. He quietly struggled to get out, but the more he squirmed, the more the girl embraced him tightly.

It took him a while before he could calm down. Carefully, he took note of his situation and realised that he was screwed either way, so he thought of resuming what he left in between.

Little by little, he moved his hand, which was stuck between her legs, towards her nether region. From the start, his goal was to confirm that she was a girl unlike her boyish appearances.

"Just a little bit, a bit more.... and" He felt it. He finally felt it. With a light touch on her nether, he realised she didn't have a weiner, and his curiosity was satisfied.

"Mmm....mm.." The girl woke up. She released her grip around his wrist, rubbed her eyes, and still in a half-asleep state, she cuddled him with both her hands.

"Umm..mm.." Slowly, she blinked her eyes. Her eyes opened wider with every blink, and her eyes grew the widest when she saw the boy's face, clear as a day.

"Good Morning... Ah wait, it's, Good Evening miss, My name is Gino and I am your new caretaker."

"Umm... Gu... Good Morning to You too, ma.. my name is Kayla"
