Yeah 19 review and only two chapters up so far! Thank you to everyone who's reviewing and I'm really happy you guys are enjoying it.
Since so many people seem to be confused I'm going to explain what's going on with the dividers. For some reason in chapter one the dividers I had made didn't show up and chapter two when I put the "123456789" thing it was just a change in time, hence the numbers. It was still the same POV however incase anyone didn't notice. When I did the "OoOoO" thing that was changing the POV (point of view for those who don't know) I'll probably continue with the OoOoO thing because when ever I try to make little stars or anything else that you would use the shift key to make my Microsoft Word changes it into a line that doesn't show up when I post the chapter on fan fiction. I hope that clears some stuff up and now chapter three!
Wow this is a long beginning note!

The Fight of Fire
Chapter Three: Introductions
"Don't even try to run" I threatened.
I had caught the girl who'd been crawling threw the vents.
Currently I had an arm securely around her waist and the other covering her mouth.
I had lifted her slightly off the floor for my own protection incase she planned to try and run.
Right now all she was really doing was squirming hoping I loosen my grasp.
"You know squirming's not going to get you out of here. I can flip a two hundred pound man which probably means I can hold you" I said arrogantly.
She still continued struggling.
"Ow" I shouted suddenly feeling a stinging pain on my hand. She'd bitten me!
I pulled my hand off hoping the pain would subside.
"Let go of me!" she screamed.
"You bit me!" I yelled back trying to keep my hold on her with one hand as she flung her legs wildly.
"What do you want from me?" she hollered.
"Quiet" I hushed her, "Before someone comes looking in here." I covered her mouth again hoping she wouldn't bite me.
She relaxed for a moment taking in a deep breath and closing her eyes.
After a moment she re-opened them much calmer now.
"Put me down" she demanded her voice muffled by my hand.
"First I want to know why your climbing threw the school vents" I grasped her waist tighter.
"Trying not to be seen" she mumbled.
"Who are you hiding from?"
"Everyone" she answered.
Closing her eyes again just for a second she asked politely "Do you know where Naomi N'Guyen's room is?"
"Yeah. Why?" I wondered.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
"I'm her cousin" I lied. "I'm staying here with her for a week." His breathe was cold on my neck as he thought.
Then I felt a soft hand reach under the back of my shirt.
"What are you doing?!" I screamed twisting my hips in a matter to make him free me.
Suddenly I felt a searing pain on my back.
"OW!" I screeched. "What did you do?"
He pulled his hand out of my shirt. "You're the girl from the fence aren't you?' he asked seeming as calm as ever.
"Excuse me?"
"You're the girl who was trying to run away and got knocked out by the electric fence."
'The fence' I thought 'Does he mean the fence that freed me from her?
"The fence surrounding the school? Yeah that's me" I answered.
Okay so I wasn't trying to get out I was really trying to get in but he really doesn't need to know that.
When my feet hit the floor my thoughts were interrupted. He had let go of me.
"You look different" he said sounding shy now.
"Ulrich?" I asked remembering the name from the note Naomi had left for me.
He nodded. "Why were you in the vents?"
"A, I was taking, um, a shower and the bell rang while I was walking back to Naomi's room and then there were a couple students in the hall and Naomi told me not to be seen so I had to hide and I saw a vent and you know I'm not suppose to let anyone see me and I had to hide so I-" shoot I was blabbering. "You know, hid."
He chuckled.
"We'd better get you back to Naomi's room. The bell you heard was the lunch hour bell, most of the student's will be in the cafeteria by now so we can walk back. That is unless you prefer the vents?"
I laughed. He was cute.
Chocolate brown hair that matched his eyes about six foot one, three and a half inches taller than me. Handsome smile and from what I could tell from the olive green shirt he was wearing he was pretty buff.
Then again he was attending a martial arts school.
All the things a high school junior girl is looking for in looks.
To bad I'd only be at this school for a month or two.
"I'm actually wondering now how you fit into those vents" I joked.
"Are you calling me fat?" he exclaimed.
"Of course not" I said my voice sounding fake.
He laughed.
'What the hell! You just met this guy! Stop flirting!' My mind screamed.
"Listen we'd better get you back quick because of Naomi finds out your gone she's gonna flip. And that's not safe for me" he said.
He started for the door me following obediently.
Ulrich opened the door allowing me to exit first.
This was going to be an interesting couple of weeks.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
The walk back to Naomi's dorm room was less comfortable than the gym.
There was an uncomfortable silence between her and me, both hoping not to be found.
If any of the teachers found out I was helping an intruder I'd be kicked out for sure.
Yes I knew that she wasn't a student.
During my free period I'd had one of my brainier classmates hack into the student profiles and found nothing on this mysterious girl.
Obviously she'd some how snuck over or under the fence. My best guess under.
She possible had dug a hole under the fence and while crawling threw her back scraped against the fence burning into her shirt and leaving the mark that was now there.
How she became unconscious I had no clue.
"How do you get into this school?" she asked suddenly pulling me out of my thoughts.
"What do you mean" I questioned.
"It's a secret school right?"
I nodded.
"So how do you like get selected to attend here?" she re-fraised.
"Oh" I understood, "When you enter a martial arts class the teacher makes a list of naturals and then evaluates them further. Every martial arts school in the world is run by this school. It's like the headquarters. The best kids in the class after getting awarded their black belt get offered to attend a better class which would be this school."
"But what if their parents can't afford to send them here? Like room and board?" she asked.
"The only fee the school asks for is a fifty dollar clothing fee. For gym uniform and sparing outfit as well as your weapon" I informed. "The school makes profit off of the martial arts classes around the world. They have to pay the school fifty percent of their profit since they attended Kadic. Why all these question?"
"It's just… this is going to sound a bit weird probably but do you think the school would accept me as a student if I you know showed them what I could do?"
"Well maybe" I thought. "Have you taken a class?"
"A, no but I sort of trained myself and I'm a natural" she told me.
"You know what" I realized changing the subject, "I still don't know your name."
"Yumi" she said quickly. "Yumi Ishiyama."
"Stern, Ulrich Stern" I said in a James Bond style.
She giggled.
"Well this is Naomi's room. Do you have a key?" I asked.
"Yeah, right here" she said taking a small silver key from her pocket that was number 154.
Using the key she unlocked the door and walked in.
I stepped in as well closing the door behind me.
She was laying in the extra bed her head in the pillow facing me.
"So do you think if I talked to one of the teachers or something I could get in?' she asked turning the conversation back to its old topic.
She moved the pillow now sitting up on the bed with the pillow on her lap.
"Maybe" I answered, "But they'd make you spar against one of the best students since you've never had real experienced" I explained.
Normally that was my job.
I'd get paid about twenty bucks to spar against a new kid. If I won I got an extra five.
"Would that happen to be you?" she smiled.
"Normally, unless you told them you knew me. Then they'd probably set you up with Odd or Theo" I explained. "Maybe even William."
I moved a book off the end of the bed and setting it down on the floor I sat down.
"Now since you've asked me so many questions I've got one for you. How did you get over the fence?"
"The fence?"
I smirked.
"Um well… I just, a. I don't know really. One minute I was outside the fence and my whole body was burning then everything went black. The next thing I knew I was in this bed" she shifted her weight hugging the pillow to her chest.
For a moment I pondered her answer.
If she didn't climb in herself then someone else must have brought her in.
Or she was lying.
I looked over at her again.
She was looking straight at me and our eyes locked.
I hadn't noticed her eyes before.
They were a midnight brown almost black. And her skin was flawless.
Suddenly I could feel my eyebrow start twitching. Something I did when I was embarrassed.
Pulling my eyes from Yumi's perfect face I looked down at my new etnies.
Outside of class students could where whatever we wanted and most of us took advantage of that rule.
I lifted my head when I heard the bed creek.
Yumi set the pillow down and stood from the comfortable sheets Naomi had set.
She walked over to the closet and opened it.
Pulling out a few pairs of clothes out she closed the closet.
"Could you turn around" she asked, "I'm just going to change cause these clothes got all dirty from climbing threw the vents."
"Yeah, sure" I stood from the bed and turned toward the door.
I heard some rustling and something hit the floor.
Then I heard a zipper and something else fell to the carpet.
I waited for the other zipper.
"Zip"
"Okay I'm good" she informed.
I turned back around and instead of the old white caprees and blue tee-shirt Yumi was wearing a pair of black caprees with red lining and a red and black halter top.
She smiled.
"This is much more my style" she said folding the old clothes and setting them on the desk chair.
"So, what's this Naomi girl like?" she asked sitting back down on the bed.
"Well, she's got brown hair and green eyes about five four and is really dangerous with numb chucks."
She giggled. "So she's pretty then?"
"I guess, but a little too cheery for my type" I told her.
"Really, I took you for a jock. And aren't jocks suppose to like the "cheer" leaders?" she joked. (A/N Nothing against jocks or cheerleaders cause I happen to be both)
"Ask Odd" I answered. "He's the kind of guy who runs after the cheerleaders, well that is if this school had any."
"Odd?" she questioned.
"Odd Della-Robbia. He's another kid who attends here. And he's Naomi's boyfriend for the time being" I explained.
"I get it. He switches from girl to girl doesn't he?" she was smart.
"Yeah, he claims he's looking for his sole mate but I think he's trying to set a record of how many girls he can date and dump in one year" I laughed.
"And Naomi's okay with that?" Now she looked confused.
"Naomi's the same way. I think she's just trying to set the record for the longest relation-" I stopped. I was making my two best friends seem like heartless jerks. I had to explain this in a different way.
"But they're really great friends. I'm not sure the real reason they're dating or if they even like each other like that.
"Maybe it's so they can stop one another from being hurt by everyone else" she estimated.
'Wow' I thought. 'She might be right. I would have never guessed something like that.'
"BING!" The bell, great.
"I gotta go" I stood up from the bed. "That's the end of lunch hour. Naomi should be back in a few hours but make sure your in this room by two fifty because some kids skip three o'clock training to hang in their dorms and we can't have afford to have anyone see you just yet."
I opened the door and stepped out.
Before closing it I said, "There should be a diary under the butterfly pillow and it can keep you entertained for hours in case you get bored" then shut the door.
