Chapter 2: Classes and Fights

Classes had started about ten minutes ago when four men walked down the stairs to the fighting class. Barley a quarter of the way down, they could already hear the loud music. The youngest of the four, a spastic 20 year old with chocolate spikes and bright blue eyes, ran the rest of the way down the stairs and peeked into the room.

"This is the room, right Leon?" He asked the older brunette.

"Yes Sora," Leon said as he went over and looked in. "This is the class that is teaching the kids here to fight."

"Took awhile, but we finally got around to taking care of it." The oldest and only blonde man said. Sora looked at him and Leon.

"What's so bad about teaching them to fight?" He asked a bit confused. "If they know how, then they can protect themselves since the heartless seem to be back."

"And in greater numbers." A silverette a year older then Sora added.

"It doesn't matter," the blonde said, crossing his arms. "No one should be teaching kids how to fight."

"But Cloud," Sora started to whine.

"Enough Sora, it looks like they are done warming up." And Leon was right. All the kids in the class were done with their warm ups and were all now sitting on the mats, waiting for the teacher. The four men went into the room, but stayed close to the door. Suddenly, there was a loud shriek from some of the girls as an arrow shot above the heads of the kids and embedded into the center of one of the targets on the back wall. Leon, Cloud, Sora, and the silverette all looked in the direction the arrow came from and saw a girl about Sora's height with dark purple hair that ended around the middle of her back and stone gray eyes in slightly faded dark blue jeans and a black shirt with a necklace hidden under it. On her right hip was a quiver of arrows and on the left was a coiled up cord that looked like a whip.

"Did you just shoot that Ms. Dainia?" one of the boys in the class asked. Dainia put her hands on her hips, bow still in her hand and smirked a bit.

"Who else could of shot that arrow?" she asked back at the kid. "Alright, all of you are going to learn about the wonderful art of archery today." A girl in the class raised her hand. "Yes?"

"What's so wonderful and art like about…. Archery?" Dainia looked at the girl as if she just said the worst thing in the world. They all watched as Dainia went back into the office she was standing in front of. When she came back, she had five hacky sacks and tossed them to five boys.

"When I tell you to, toss those into the air one at a time," was all she said before going down to the targets and removes the arrow, adding it to the quiver before walking back over to stand in front of the office again. "Alright, toss them." One by one the hacky sacks were tossed into the air and one by one, they disappeared as an arrow was shot from the bow Dainia was holding. After the fifth arrow was fired, all the students looked over at the targets to find an arrow embedded into the center of each target and a hacky sack impaled on each arrow. The whole class erupted into awed and amazed conversations.

All the while the four men by the door watched in silence.

"That…. Was kinda amazing," Sora whispered a bit in awe. He looked at the silverette next to him. "What do you think Riku?"

"It defiantly was impressive," Riku agreed.

"Impressive or not, she is coming in." Leon practically glared at Dainia.

"Wait until the kids aren't by her or in the way." The other three all looked at Cloud, a bit shocked. "She might try to fight back and if the kids are by her, they could get hurt."

"Good point…." Leon grudgaling agreed. All four went back to silently watching.

"Alright, now all of you carefully, CAREFULLY," Dainia emphasized the last word, giving pointed looks to some of the boys. "Go over and grab a bow and some arrows." All of the kids got up and went to where the archery supplies were.

"Lets go," Leon announced to his companions and headed over to Dainia. Cloud, Riku, and Sora followed him and as soon as she heard them, Dainia looked over.

"I'm in the middle of a class," Dainia sounded a bit annoyed. "What do you want."

"You are to come with us." Leon said, sounding commanding and threatening all at once. This made all the students look over. Dainia smirked and set a hand on the whip at her side.

"Is that so?" she challenged. At this , Leon reached for his gunblade as Cloud reached for his sword. "I'm not going anywhere with four men that I've never met before just because they said so."

"Logical," Riku simply stated, making Leon glare at him. Cloud drew his sword and pointed it at Dainia.

"You don't have a choice, so come quietly."

"I'll come quietly when I'm dead," Dainia spat.

"That can be arranged," Cloud stated before swinging his sword. Dainia's hand twitched, grabbing her whip and with a flick of her wrist, the tip slid across Cloud's face with a soft, barely audible crack, and left a small cut on his cheek. Cloud blinked a bit in surprise and set his hand against his cheek. When he pulled it away he looked down and saw the blood that was smeared there. He looked up and glared at Dainia who just smirked at him. "You little brat." Cloud practically growled before continuously attacking Dainia. She was barely able to dodge his attacks.

"Ms. Dainia!" One of the girls yelled out. "Look out!" as soon as the girl warned Dainia, a fire spell came hurtling towards Dainia and barely missing her. Unfortunately, it was now heading straight towards the students. Without realizing what she was doing, Dainia rushed forward as fast as she could and put herself between the speeding fire spell and her students. Cloud, Leon, Riku, and Sora watched in shock as the fire spell hit Dainia square in the stomach and knocked her to the floor. Another fire spell went flying through the air towards Dainia and the students. Before it could reach its target , it seemed to melt into a wall of blue fire that erupted from the floor. Almost instantly, Sora looked around the room and just barely caught the closing Darkness portal.

'Was that a Nobody?" he silently thought. "But…. I got rid of the Nobodies four years ago….' Sora was brought out of his thoughts when Riku started towards the fire wall.

"What do you think you're doing?" Cloud demanded. Riku being Riku, didn't say anything and just put his hand in the fire.

"Riku!" Sora practically screeched.

"Relax," he glanced back at them. "It's cold." Just then, the fire wall disappeared as Dainia sat up.

"Damn," she mumbled as she grabbed her head. "my head is fucking killing me." One of the students kneeled down next to her.

"Are you alright Ms. Dainia?"

"Yep, just fine." She reassured the student and got up. "Must of just hit my head a little too hard on the floor." She looked around quickly. "Where's my whip?" The student standing next to her pointed in a direction, making Dainia look. She immediately scowled and glared at Leon, her whip in his hands.

"Now that you don't have this," he states calmly. "you are coming with us." She looks up at the clock above the main door. Class will be ending soon anyways and without her whip, she couldn't protest. A bow and arrow is no match against blades.

"Fine," she turned to face her class. "All of you are dismissed and are to let everyone else know that this class is canceled for the rest of the day." There are some whines and complaints, but they put the archery equipment that they grabbed back and go to the changing rooms. Once they are gone, Dainia turns and death glares at the four men that have not only interrupted her classes for the day, but also have pissed her off.
