Hiro opened his eyes to see Ara and Kadaj down, for some appartent reason. "What the hell? The match just started!"

But he heard Ara and Kadaj mumbling somthing. "To..much...weight..." They tried to get up but falied.

"Kaza, why do they have weights and we don't?" asked Tiamatt, who was right infront of Ara, studying her as she was struggling to fight.

"You do, but since you two have been through different pains and situations then them, you can take it. This is only 489 pounds." said Kaza laughing.

Hiro tilted his head. "Then that means...you weren't planing for us to fight at all. You were just seeing if they had the same strength as Tia and I." Hiro explained, causing Kaza to laugh.

"Correct.. and I merely did it for fun."

"HEY!"

"I might as well tell you who you will be your mentors. Kadai, Kadaj, Ara, Yazoo, and Loz will be trained under Kos. He will teach you the disciplines you need to know. Tiamatt will train on her own, and so will Hiro on occassion. Hiro will be trained under me, I will personally teach you the ways of a true warrior" Kaza said, standing up from his seat.

"Now your training will start tomorrow, understand? We will switch around, and on occanisons train together. All of you are dismissed!"

"Hey, you know...just kinda throwing this out there, you know, not meaing to be rude....but.....WOULD YOU MIND REMOVING THE FUCKING WEIGHT?!?!?"

Hiro and Lloyd was on there way to meet Kratos, Hiro was looking nervous, having conflicts. "Hey Hiro, you alright?" asked Lloyd, worried about his friend.

"Yea..."

Hiro looked at the red clad swordsman, who was looking at the ground. Hiro sighed sadly. "Yes...he would. He tells me. But Lloyd..I want you to promise me somthing." said Hiro. Lloyd looked at him. "If I try, I want you to defend yourselfs, even if it is me." said Hiro, smiling. "O-okay." said Lloyd stuttering. "Listen Lloyd you go ahead, I have somthing to do, I'll catch up."

Hiro sat on a stump, sighing. He took his blade and cut his left hand, black blood going down his wrist. But after a minute, the blood returned inside of him. Hiro clutched his hand. "I told you...I will kill them all once I regain you. You are overwhelmed with rage towards the man. This time I will ignore him and chase after the woman and her party." Hiro gasped. "That woman only wants you for protection, after they are here she will throw you away. You never told her that you never were in the Lifestream. No one loves you, they never have, and never will. They all FEAR you. You are scared, you would run off if it wasn't for that woman." Hiro ignored him, and stood up and walked off. He jumped up in the air, and spotted Lloyd.

"Come on Hiro, use more movement in your feet, you can't always use your legs just to move, why do you think we have feet! Jump with your toes!" Kaza commanded, slashing his sword away at Hiro. Hiro kept dodging every strike. His movements were getting faster, he could tell. The strikes that Kaza was throwing at Hiro were extremely , which sort of worried Hiro. Hiro swung his sword, and slashed at his back. It worked, but then of course, it back fired when Kaza simply blocked it. Hiro jumped back, panting in exhaustion, why Kaza smiled at him.

"Come on, no more messing around..."

Hiro gulped, seeing that what Kaza was doing before was nothing, now the true lesson would begin.

"Hiro, you seemed exhausted, to much training?" Tiamatt asked Hiro, who smiled.

"Yea, didn't have that much sleep, Kaza tried to kill me, and now I have to put up with Kadaj crying because Kadai is throwing knives at him every night." Hiro said, his head on the table. Kadaj kept running around while Kadai was aiming.

"PLEASE HAVE MERCY!" screamed Kadaj, as Kadai ran after him.

"HOLD STILL!"

Ara shook her head at the two, and turned her head to Hiro, who was now asleep. "Poor Hiro, he has to train under the leader, we're lucky, Kos isn't that hard on us."

"Yea, Hiro has been through worse." said Tiamatt laughing at the memory of her and Hiro in a fight.

After lunch, they were free to do what they want. Ara, Kadai, Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo just hung around the dock. Tiamatt went to talk to , and Hiro, well, was asleep.

"Mister wake up!" A small child was tugging his jacket sleeve.

Hiro awoke and looked at the child, and smiled. "What do you need?"

The child made a goofy smile, and tugged his arm.

"Teacher wants to see you!" Hiro stood up and followed the small child.

As they walked, Hiro saw Kadai and Ara throwing knifes at Loz, who of course was crying. Hiro laughed, He has become quite close to them, thinking of them as a small family. Weird, old foes become good allies.

Hiro walked inside the lab to see Tiamatt and Dr. Dexel talking, most likely on the attack to WRO. "The WRO have weaponry that could blow up the whole ruins of Midgar, but the RL is way more advanced. The Captain designed it with two of his best friends and comrades. He actually named the ship after them. They pasted away 20 years ago." said Dr. Dexel. Tiamatt heard Hiro walking up to them, and she turned to him.

"Took you."

Hiro just smirked, and sat beside of her. "Well, Hiro, since your here, I want to explain about what training both of you will endure. Kaza chose you Hiro because of your swordsman skills and your speed. You lack defense and strengh. You also lack techniques, since you only know atleast five. Same goes for you Tiamatt. You will be taught mixtures of magic and physical techniques, which will be in handy." Dr. Dexel sighed as he saw Tiamatt glare and Hiro did the same thing.

"Yes I know you are possibly mad. But this training will push you farther then any of you will believe."

Hiro looked up at the ceiling, his body aching. His training was intense, most of it being fighting against Kaza. He felt tierd, wanting to sleep. But somthing kept him up. He just looked at the ceiling. He felt something haunt his mind, a echoing voice saying:
Things in the Future will be all your fault.

Are those dreams...apart of my future? Who is the woman and the man..who is all of those people?

Hiro shook his head. Dreams are not apart of the future. But parts of him were saying that it was real, and others screaming that every single thing is his fault. Hiro shook his head, ignoring whatever that was. He hated himself...thinking that everything will be his fault.
