Chapter 6

Lexus sits in her room and picks up her phone and calls Xander, she waits for him to answer.

"Hello?"

"Xander it's me Lexus. It's done and taken care of."

"When did you kill him?"

"At school during lunch."

"Ok thank you Lexus. Now tell no one about any of this."

"I know, I'm tired now. Going to sleep."

"Bye Lexus."

Lexus hangs up her phone and lays down on the bed and she falls asleep.

"Hey Bobby, do you like me?" asks Sora as she and Bobby walk into the Zen garden and sit by the coi pond.

"As a friend or more?"

"Either."

"I always thought you were cute Sora, you don't look like your fifteen. I like you as a friend of course but I guess in a way I'm hoping it will become more than a friendship."

"You're the hottest guy in the school and you choose me? I mean there are girls out there who are way prettier than me."

"I don't want just looks Sora. All those girls are into looks, your not."

"I like looks."

"Yeah but is it what makes you fall for a guy or do you like who he is as person as well?"

Sora watches the fish in the pond, "How did you know about the party?"

"I heard it from some friends at school. They all wanted to sneak in but I suggested that it wasn't such a good idea."

"Is that why you came running up to me yesterday? To get help in getting into the party?"

"I still don't know if you're a heart or not."

"I am you know. My parents, Nick's parents and Lexus's parents are the six leaders of the Black Hearts. The three of us are next in line."

"Oh, tell me about your past." Says Bobby as he leans back against a tree and watches Sora and the setting sun caressing her skin and her hair making her seem to glow.

"I don't know about how I was born if that's what you mean. I grew up here and I train every spare moment I can get."

"You don't know where you were born?"

"Mom said something about Hawaii once but I don't know if it's true."

"Don't you have your birth certificate?"

Sora shakes her head; "There is no document of me. It's how we work."

"I wonder why you don't know?"

Sora shrugs and looks at Bobby, "I don't really care. I'm here now and that's all that matters."

"You're an interesting person Sora, you come from an interesting family."

Sora smiles softly and plays with the water in the pond. "Well I should get to training. Do you know how to fight?"

"With what?"

"Anything. I need a new sparring partner."

Just as Bobby nods you can hear some call Sora from the house. Sora stands up and motions for Bobby to follow her, they walk out into the yard and they see Sakura standing there with Li both of them holding a sword.

Li sees Sora come out of the Zen garden with Bobby right beside her; "She likes him."

"I know Li but we have to let her find out for herself."

"What's up?" asks Sora brightly as she walks up to her parents.

"Sparring, you still need to practice your sword fighting skills." Says Li as his grip tightens on his sword, as he looks Bobby over.

"Can I spar with Bobby? I mean I know how to read your attacks and it will be good for me to fight someone new."

"You have a point Sora. Li give Bobby the sword." Says Sakura as she sees the grip Li has on his sword.

Li hands over the sword and Sora takes the sword from Sakura. Sora smiles and motions for Bobby to follow her to the woods.

"Sora why are we going into the woods?"

"Because it's where I'm weakest. I'm strong in the open space but I panic in closed spaces like the woods." Sora stops and turns around and smiles at Bobby, "Shall we begin?"

Bobby nods and before he can think Sora is charging at him but he sees she has left her right side open so he steps aside causing her to run past him and he hits her in the right side with the handle. "Your right side is weak." He says as Sora grunts and grabs her side. Sora attacks again this time their blades hit and slide against each other causing some sparks. Bobby watches Sora and sees she has covered her sides but left her neck wide open. So he wraps his arm around her neck and turns her around. He grabs her wrist and holds her own sword against her neck. "You aren't very good with a sword." He whispers in her ear softly.

Sora blushes and relaxes her hand causing her sword to fall to the ground with a clatter.

"I've watched you in your combat class, I thought you would have been a better fight than this."

"Yes well you are better than me." Says Sora as she feels Bobby loosen his grip on her wrist but he doesn't let her go.

"I'm not better than you Sora, if anything equal. I know you can fight and you can fight well." Replies Bobby as he drops his sword and slides his hand around her slim waist feeling the leather of her skirt and the silk of her corset.

Sora smiles but she looks down at the swords, "We should get back to the fight."

"I am teaching you to fight. There may be a time when you come across someone who will try to seduce you. I want you to be on your guard." Whispers Bobby as he gently kisses Sora on the neck.

"A seduction on me? I'm usually the one who seduces others when I'm in a fight." Says Sora softly as her mind whirls with the feeling of Bobby's hands on her body and his lips kissing her neck.

"Well you aren't doing that now. By the tone of your voice I would say you mind is trying to fight off the feelings it's receiving. You need to mask your emotions like your father does." Says Bobby as he lets go of her wrist and slides his fingertips across the swell of her breasts, which are held high by the corset. Sora shivers under his hands and she swallows hard.

"I I I, can't fight it Bobby." Stammers Sora as she puts her hands over his.

"Of course you can't. Your human and you can't fight what you find pleasurable. The right touch against your skin, a gentle and soft caress." Says Bobby as he rubs his left hand over Sora's left shoulder, his breath flowing over her skin. "It's what you crave and anyone can read that."

Sora is just about to cave in when she hears a twig snap not to far from them. She looks up and scans the forest as she steps away from Bobby, "Did you hear that?"

"Were in the woods, it was probably just an animal."

"It wasn't an animal. It was someone."

"Who would be sneaking around this compound?"

"Someone who doesn't belong here." Whispers Sora as she bends down to pick up her sword and then she climbs the tree beside her.

Bobby picks up his sword and quietly walks through the woods, he looks up and he can't see Sora or hear her. Out of the corner of his eye he sees someone walking through the woods towards the house.
