A/N: This is a story I am re-writing from ages ago. I hope you enjoy

Chapter 1- Battling Ivy

I watched as Ivy fell to the ground in pain with pleasure.

'Had enough?' I asked lightly.

'I won't tell you.' She replied angrily.

'Fine.' I shouted irritably.

I gripped my syi sarika tightly in one hand and my loka luha in the other. I could feel the blades weighing on me getting prepared for another battle.

Ivy moved slowly and I noticed that she had an expression of the deepest hatred on her face.

'You won't live.' She spat.

She pulled her valentine sword from the ground and stood up.

'Believ in yourself Talim.' I prepped myself quietly.

Suddenly Ivy jumped forward with her sword high in the air. I jumped back in shock but quickly recovered.

'You'll never win.' She taunted but that made me more determined.

I swiftly slid up beside her and hit her with the blunt end of my syi sanka. I didn't want to kill her as I still needed to get information. She fell back and let out a sigh.

'I'm not so easy, am I.' I sighed slowly. I was breathing heavily. I hope she gives up soon, I thought desperately

She immediately jumped up again and kicked me back. I was badly bruised now. I tumbled and lost control. Before I knew it, Ivy was standing over me.

I rolled out of the way quickly and pushed her. She didn't look like she was giving up anytime soon.

I tried to hit her again but she blocked with her weapon. A smile started to flicker on her face.

'You'll never know.' She said laughing suddenly.

I was breathless and needed to move. I ran out of the small Indian hallway that we were in and I could immediately hear Ivy chasing after me.

I ran out into the daylight and jumped up on the building to catch my breath. Ivy stepped out a minute later and I did my best to hide myself in the small crack.

'I'll find you.' Ivy called as the blaring sun continued to blaze down on me. It felt like there was an eye watching me and I knew I'd eventually be found.

I lay on the ground but suddenly I noticed that ivy was near to where I was. I'll attack her, I thought cunningly.

'Here Talim, come here.' She called tantalizing me as she passed my corner.

I jumped out on her suddenly, surprising her. I moved as quickly as I could and dug one of my blades into her side. She keeled over in pain and I let out a gasp of horror. She was surely going to die now and I wouldn't be able get any information out of her.

As the blood came out of her side and mouth she laughed.

'I'm not tellin' you anythin'.' She laughed. 'You'll have to go to my father. Have fun.'

She burst out laughing and I could see she wasn't going to live. She let out one last laugh and fell flat.

I'd just lost my first lead.

A/N: Don't worry it's meant to be confusing. It'll all be explained in the next chapter. Don't expect the next chapter any time soon because I have big exams. (I'm in college)

Thanks to my friend devil/paul who I know will review this. (he'd better... joking)

Goodbye
