Hey guys! I'm back with this chapter like I promised I would be. So basically it's just training and it's gonna be fun! Lol I'm tired right now so I'll shut up and let you red.

Chapter Ten-Training

The four groups were gathered at the Main House in their new outfits. The girls wore black with different colored stripes ranging from baby blue to black, techfit climawarm tights. They had climachill tanks matching their pants and colored running shoes. The clothing was tight and showed off a lot of skin and every curve for the boys to see, though the girls weren't complaining. The boys wore sport essentials tee in four different colors, black, red, blue, and green. They had sport essentials sweatpants in the same colors and black running shoes. Everyone got to see everything the training outfits exposed.

Amara walked in wearing identical outfit to the girls in all black except for one accessory, her black leather fingerless gloves. "So, everyone likes their new outfits?" Amara watched as a few itched at their neck while Inuyasha scoffed.

"Don't see the point in wearing these." He snarled as Amara patted him on the back and turned back to the door.

"Bring your weapons and let's go." Amara waved while they grabbed what they needed and followed her down the stairs and into the woods.

An hour of walking had passed in silence, slowly. Amara and the others led the groups to what they called the Training Grounds. She explained that it was far away from the hideout, where no one can track them, given it was still in the barrier protection spell. Everyone took in the view of the woods as birds chirped, deer grazed, and wind softly stirring the leaves. The sun shined down on them as each individual wonder the same question, how did they not know this place existed?

Amara stopped and smiled, turning back to the groups announcing they were here. They peered around to a large opening circle that the trees created. Wooden tables sat on the outer edge were shiny weapons were delicately placed. Bundles of hay were placed in a random order in the circle with blue and red targets painted on them. As they got closer they noticed a few trees had indentions in them, probably from strikes of a weapon. Everyone gazed at the large Training Grounds as Amara clapped her hands for their attention. "Okay everyone! Today we're gonna put your groups with different people. Example…umm," Amara looked over to Cassidy and whispered, "Names…oh right okay. Inuyasha's group is going to train with me. Seth is going to have Naruto's group. Aoi is going to have Maka's group and Ed's group will be with Feria. So get with each other, my group follow me." Amara walked over to the weapon's table and gently touched two identical daggers. Their hilts were curved in as the blades had the edges coming out in a slim outward curve whilst the blades followed up in an inward curve to a point. One was black while the other was silver. Kunai knives rested by each other as well as ninja stars. Amara picked up a smaller one carefully. "This is called a Death Star; one hit can make a thousand cuts, so be careful. These two daggers are mine; the silver one can kill Fallen Angels even halves due to the fact that silver is the only thing that can kill them."

"So what are we doing today?" Miroku asked as Amara picked up a ninja star and with a sharp turn to the hay targets, she threw it straight for the center, making it fly in it deeply.

"Show me your skills." Inuyasha's group nodded and stood in a line.

Inuyasha went first as he threw up Tetsugia high above him and shouted. "Wind Scar!" striking the ground in a yellow lightning strikes that destroyed two or three hay targets, half of the ground and three trees fell to their untimely death. Amara watched in amazement and nodded her head for Miroku to go next.

Miroku untied his beads on his right hand as the purple flap fell down. "Wind Tunnel!" wind was soon being pulled towards him as well as everything else in front of him, into a black hole emitting from his hand! It only lasted a few seconds, but enough to have Amara's head racking around something. Where have I heard these names and the powers they have? Amara crossed her arms and nodded. Kagome was next.

Kagome drew her bow and arrow, pulling it back far enough and aimed for one of the hay targets not destroyed, "Hit the mark!" and it did, glowing pink as it hit the center of the intended target. Amara stood there for a second, watching the arrow sizzle out into normal and leave a little smoke trail. She held her hand out for her group to stop and walked over to the arrow. She touched it as it burned part of her finger, letting out a low hiss.

Amara walked back over and examined Kagome's arrows. "Kagome, you have purification powers?" Kagome nodded.

"Well, back in the Federal Era, I was labeled as a priestess. Miroku over there is a monk." Kagome pointed to a smiling Miroku as Amara had a dumbfounded look before gaining back her composure, nodding for Sango to go next.

Sango pulled out her giant boomerang back shouting, "Hiraikotsu!" and it swung around till it hit all of the hay targets and back to her, which she caught effortlessly. Amara nodded and Shippo was up next.

Shippo looked up at the encouraging smile Amara gave him and let out a deep breath, "Fox Fire!" the green fire produced from his hand as it burned mostly the ground and part of what was left of a hay target. Amara nodded in approval and looked over to Kirara in Sango's arms.

"Two Tail demon cat, right?" Amara pointed to the cat as Sango nodded. "What can it can do?" Sango let Kirara jump out of her arms as she stood before Amara and let a soft meow before she transformed into her demon cat and let out a ferocious roar. The Vampire jumped backs some, smiling. "Nice trick there kitty." Amara patted her head softly as Kirara went back to being her normal size.

Seth's Group

Seth was doing Hand-to-Hand combat with his group. Hey, Amara never did specify what they were all doing. The Hybrid walked up to Naruto and placed his foot behind the blonde's foot as he pushed him towards the ground. Naruto landed with a thud as Sasuke rolled his eyes and Seth with a smirk. "First lessons, element of surprise, don't let your enemy think they have no advantage. Let them show you what they can do, and then you attack, or do a takedown." Seth explained as Naruto put his hands by his head, palms down, and pushed up, now standing.

Seth examined Kakashi and told him to pull out his Kunai. Kakashi did and stood in his fighting stance. "Come at me." Seth opened his arms out wide as the sensei thrusted forward. With a quick impulse, Seth dodged the attack, still on the inside of his forearms, delivered a quick strike to his forearm where his pulse was. Kakashi let his knife down and looked at Seth. All of this was familiar to Naruto's group; still it's a good recap. "Dark, mysterious one." Seth beckoned Sasuke that gave him his usual Uchiha stare. "Hit me with all you got." Seth invited as Sasuke unsheathed his sword. Seth was distracted by the slick black sword that was now aimed at him. Sasuke strikes forward as Seth dodges it and goes to repeat what he did to Kakashi, but Sasuke jumps back behind Seth. Seth spins around as his hand his met with the blade, trying to keep it from slicing him, though it really couldn't. Seth pushed him back as Sasuke remains unfazed and attacks again. It continues on as Sakura watches, she knows Sasuke can fight well, but this Hybrid seemed tough to even get a hit right.

Sasuke swung the blade while Seth ducks and chuckles. "Alright, you proved yourself." Seth watched the blade being sheathed as Sasuke glared.

"I don't need to prove anything to you." And with that, he rejoined his team.

Seth walked over to the pinkette and placed both hands on her shoulders and whispered, "Bring it." Sakura pushed him back and threw a punch, which hit Seth's jaw before he had the chance to move. Seth stumbled back as Sakura went into her fighting position, and gently touched his bruised jaw, letting out small chuckle. "Not bad." Sakura went to kick him, but Seth caught her calf and twisted her whole body. She weaseled out of his tight grasp and went in to punch again.

Punch.

Kick.

Kick.

Punch.

Like a continuous cycle as Sakura actually hit the Hybrid a few times, pretty hard actually as Seth called it quits. Not like he was losing or bored, but he could tell they needed a break.

Feria's Group

Feria watched as Ed clapped his hands and placed them on the ground. Soon the earth rumbled and now he was standing on a solid podium made of earth. "Not bad, kid. But how sturdy is that?" Feria knocked on it as Ed smirked.

"Pretty sturdy." He bragged as Feria looked up at him, about ten feet in the air and let out an "uh-huh" before she placed her hands on it and mumbled a few words. The solid podium began to shake uncontrollably and sink down into the ground again. Ed let out a yell of terror as Al caught him. Winry laughed next to Feria, who had her hands on her hips with a triumph smile. Ed rolled his eyes. "What was that for?"

"Well, you created that by alchemy. It only makes sense that a Witch can destroy that, unless it's strong enough to withstand it." Feria explained while Ed was put down. "What about you Winry, can you fight?" Feria turned her attention on the blonde girl.

Winry blushed from the sudden spot light on her. "No, I really don't fight and…"

"And she isn't ever going to. I don't want her apart of this." Ed's voice dropped down to lethal as he warned to Feria. Feria measured the girl up and down and nodded.

"Probably won't. So what can you do?" Feria turned back to Winry.

Winry answered. "I make auto mail. Like Ed's arm and leg, I made that, and always fix it." Winry teased.

Feria inspected his arm closer and smiled. "Actually that could be useful."

Aoi's and Cassidy's Group

Aoi and Cassidy teamed up to train the DWMA kids in defense against wolf's strength, while Stein and Spirit watched everyone. Aoi and Cassidy didn't really need to transform into their wolves as they took on the teens. "First lesson, you see a wolf stalking you, calmly place down any weapon you have and put your hands up in defense. This shows to us that you're backing off. If the wolf continues to approach you, which in this case they would, let the wolf charge at you. Do not let the wolf knock you down or bite you. Those are two main attacks a wolf will do." Aoi explained as the three teens nodded.

"If it fails at ramming you down or biting, it will circle you firs, and then attack from behind. To avoid this, as it circles you, move your body in a circle as well. Make sure you can see the wolf; we like to hide in blind spots. The wolf will do this for a while to tire out, so make sure you are moving slowly, and calm. Don't attack the wolf while this happens, it wants you to attack because they have advantage you won't, standing ground. The wolf will stop circling, hunch down and its claws will dig into the ground until you're close enough for it to push you back or swipe at you, and when a wolf's claws get a hold of you, you're dead." Cassidy further explained as everyone had a pale face for a second.

"Cass, will you transform and show them?" Aoi asked calmly as Cassidy nodded and took a few steps back. Soon Cassidy was human and now a large wolf before them. DWMA was shocked as Soul's reflection appeared.

"Are you telling me that we have to fight that thing?" Soul watches Maka grip him tighter as Aoi shook his head.

"No, not her, but you will have to face hundreds more like us. Look at her paws." Aoi gestured for the wolf to walk up to the group and lay down. The teens saw how massive the golden wolf's paws were. "This why Cassidy said that one swipe and you're dead." Aoi pointed at the claws.

"How do you expect us to not get swiped by something like this?" Kid asked as Aoi smiled and was about to answer when Cassidy's wolf stood up, sniffing and a soft howl was heard around the Training Grounds. Cassidy let out a deep howl in response and trotted over to the tree line. Everyone stopped and turned to where Cassidy was panting.

Amara smiled. "Looks like the rest decided to come." She zipped off into a blur up above Cassidy on a branch as the wolf looked up at the Vampire.

Silence filled the air as Amara could spot a giant body moving towards them; soon more were seen running by each other. Wolves. Amara smiled and jumped down with ease, looking over to the left of the wolves where a massive blur was seen. Vampires. This ought to be fun.

The Wolves came to a slow jog then a complete stop in front of the golden wolf. The groups could see a gray wolf in front, obviously the leader, a red wolf on the right, a pure white wolf on the left, a black wolf and another gray standing tall and proud. The leader looked down to Cassidy and put its muzzle to hers, slowly nuzzling the gold wolf. When the two broke apart, the white one came and repeated the same steps as well as the others. This looked like a family.

The massive blur stopped beside Amara as she smiled a fang smile as the others did as well. There were three guys and two girls all wearing leather jackets and jeans. The first male pulled her into a bear hug. "Still with the Wolves I see." He snickered in her ear as she rolled her eyes and gestured for them to follow her whilst whistling to the Wolves to follow as well.

"Everyone come here." Amara waved them over as they came and stared at the Vampires and Wolves behind her. "Alright, now that we have some type of a warm up, we're gonna show you how to defend yourself against these beasts." Amara smirked. "So sit in a circle and enjoy the show.

Each group sat in a large circle around Amara and the others. Amara went up first; clutching a wooden stake as a male Vampire came at her full speed and tackled her to the ground. In a quick movement, Amara pushed him off and pinned him down with her hips straddling him and the stake above his heart. "Headshots, no good. But stake them in the heart; make sure you do it quickly or the Vampire will—"Amara's words were cut off when the male flipped her over and pinned her down with a hard thud, with the stake out of her hand and in his, over her heart. "That…they'll kill you quickly." Amara pushed him off and got up, dusting herself off.

Amara switched places with Aoi, who phased into his brown wolf and was now facing the pure white one. Amara spoke while the two fought. Aoi hunched down as the white one circled and gave a low snarl. "The white one is trying to anger him by snarling, growling but don't let them distract you with little things. Aoi isn't moving seeing as the white one is just pacing, he keeps close eyes on it and prepares to attack when the white one attacks."

They watched as the white one went back and forth for a bit and stopped, got low to the ground and ran at Aoi with half speed. Aoi digs his claws deeper into the soil and waits for the white one to come close and then…bam! Aoi had rammed the Wolf down onto its side with a hard thud, but the white one scrambled to its feet and charged right Aoi. Aoi and the white one soon are tearing at each other on their hind legs. Growling and snarling at one another as the white one bit into Aoi's shoulder, blood seeping out. Aoi lets out a yelp in pain and the white one stop and nuzzles Aoi. "Okay, in our situation, Wolves will finish the kill, but seeing as this is practice, Aoi will heal, but the white one is apologizing to him." Everyone nodded and the day continued on like this.

Cassidy had returned to her human form as she watched the departing pack. "They say they'll be back for tomorrow and mom's sorry for biting you Aoi." Cassidy looked at Aoi apologetic as he shrugged.

"Eh, your mom is fine, Cass." Aoi smiled as the sun was quickly going down. Amara had pushed her hair back and looked at the Vampires around.

"Yeah, the Vampires are staying and will continue to help us train, but we should get a move on and get back for dinner." Everyone agreed and they walked back to the hideout with sore muscles and determination to get back to their own world.
