"GUYS...BE NICE!!! I WAS ONLY PLAYING!!!! HHHHHHEEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPPP!!!!!!"
I know one thing, if I didn't have a good sense of direction I would've gotten lost by now. This place is a complete maze and it should have a map on every three hallways. Anyway after Ore...Ororo showed me where my room was, which happens to be very nice compared to where I've slept before, I deiced to go exploring this place. I mean seriously if I'm going to be staying here for a while I might as well know where everything is right? RIGHT!
I got to one corner and when I peered around it I was confronted with...another long hall. But this one was different. This one had a huge set of double doors at the very end. Johnny can you please tell our contestant what's behind door number twenty-four? I ran silently down to the very end of the hall and when I reached the doors and peered in I was no face to face with a large gym. There were weights, balance beams, uneven bars, floor mats...is that a sumo ring???? I walked in and peered eagerly around like I was a child in a child in a candy store. If those damn doctors would've lain off of the experiments and gave me a bigger gym they could've easily made me stay. NOT!!
I walked further into gym and I completely stopped when I noticed and sword rack a few feet in front of me. Swords that ranged from fencing swords with intricate silver handles to samurai swords and katanas with dragon handles ranging from gold to crimson. I don't know when I finally reached the sword rack but when I did I gripped my hand around a silver bladed katana with black flames dancing to about the middle of the blade. The handle was a shiny black that was in the form of a millennium dragon and in both eyes was a red gem. The head of the dragon snaked around my wrist and it was tight enough to slip in and out of my hand.
Well...I guess the professor is very loaded to get swords like these. If I'm not mistaken but I think the handle is onyx crystal and the eyes are ruby. I knew a smirk was spreading across my face and if anyone was paying attention at that very moment they would've sworn up and down that I had grown a set of horns and a pointed tail. I kicked off my shoes and walked to the center of the mat with the katana in hand and when I reached my spot I began a slow kata. I guess those damn doctors were good at one thing, well to me it was. I don't think those doctors ever believed that I would use their teachings against them.
I don't know how long I was going through my kata but all I know is that one minute I was standing and the next minute I was rolling head first into the mat. Using the momentum of my descending force I flipped upwards and landed gracefully on the balance beam with the katana pointing at whoever attacked me. The only thing that came to mind was, "BABY LOOK GOOD!!!!"
Standing in front of me was a man with the body of a god!!! He had a tan complexion, brown eyes that held an animalistic gleam to them. His lips were placed in a snarl that revealed very sharp canines. He has a lot of brown that was in this really weird hairstyle that almost looked like he had wings that were curling inwards on the stop of his head. He also had sideburns that went completely down to his chin on both sides but they didn't connect in anyway. He was wearing a red button up shirt with the first two buttons undone, blue jeans that had one or two holes in them and brown boots. The one thing that really got to me was the fact that protruding from both of his balled up fists were three steel metal claws.
"Would you mind telling me why you tried to tackle me to the floor? You may be cute and all but I don't like being tackled." I couldn't help but smirk when he growled at me. I took the katana stuck it in the beam.
"I've got a bone to pick with you girlie. I heard you tried to kill one of the students here." You know that's not such a good thing to do" The young man growled out as he slowly walked towards me. Hmmm....I think big boy wants a fight. Hehehe I was wondering when I was going to get a fight. "Well all I've got to say furball is you're going to wish you never tried to fight me." I kicked the katana up towards my hand and when I grabbed it I tossed it right past his head. When I noticed a thin trail of blood on his cheek I couldn't help but frown. First blood already? This guy better give me a good fight.
I didn't have to wait long because he came straight at me, claws raised. Typical male to charge straight into a fight without thinking first. I flipped over his head and kicked him right in the back of his neck sending him into the balance beam. If my ears were right, which they probably were, then I could've sworn I heard metal hit wood. I turned around just in time to dodge a set of claws to the face but I wasn't fast enough to dodge the kick to my back. The kick sent me forward into him and he sent a knee into my stomach. If I wasn't trained so well I would've already been on the floor gagging for air. Please I'm better than that people!!!!
"Nice hit, but not good enough to take me out of the fight." I dropped to the floor tried to kick his legs out from under him but he jumped over my leg and I kicked upwards into his groin. I flipped upwards and I smirked when I saw him on the floor holding his family jewels. I know cheap shot so sue me. I dusted myself and was about to leave but I really wasn't expecting to get tackled again! There is no way this guy is h...never mind forget that.
"You should learn darlin' that I take getting hit in the groin very seriously." He shoved me forward and I stumbled a bit but that bit of stumbling allowed him to practically pummel me to a blood pulp. That's it no more Mrs. Nice Lady! I watched as he turned around and picked up a jacket that was resting on one of the uneven bars. I pulled myself up using a chair and when I could stand properly, I let my nails extend to three inches and my fangs grow out.
"You should've really left me alone and got the whole story before you came in here. Now it's payback time." He turned around and I saw surprise register in his eyes and then shock and pain when I slashed him across the chest. I jumped up and kicked him across the jaw and I heard a resounding snap and I smirked as best I could around my fangs. I kicked him once again this time in the back of his head sending him head first into the bar of the lowest uneven bar. He dropped to the floor and I was about ready to finish him off.
"Layla that is enough." WHAT THE HELL!!!!! Does this guy always ruin my fun?!?!?! I turned around and growled at the welcome wagon in front of me. I guess those four travel in a pack. I shook off my transformation and glared at the man who was now just starting to get back up. I think I'm going to use him for my sparing partner from now on.
"Logan are you alright?" Jean asked him as she walked over to us and checked him over. Oh so this is Logan. Well something tells me that if we would've met under better terms we could've really been friends...never mind. And if Jeanie is supposed to be the registered doctor at this place then why isn't she checking to see if I am ok? I looked from Logan, to Jean and then over to Scott and I could've sworn I saw love from Logan, a slight liking from Jean and if I could even see Scottie boy's eyes I would've saw jealous. Uh oh...a love triangle, and me without a bag of popcorn and a camcorder
"Well Logan I'll have to say you gave me a very good work out and I thank you for that." I grinned when I heard him growl at me and it grew wider when I noticed Jean frown at me. "Hey he was the one coming after me, not the other way around. I was just defending myself. He's just lucky I didn't decide to electrocute him. He would've been in complete pain thanks to those metal claws of his."
"Logan I would like you to meet Layla. Layla this is Logan. I was hoping you two would've met under better terms." Wheels is just a little too sweet for my tastes. It's like he can't even get mad. I think I'm going to have to test that theory out some day.
I sat down on the mats and watched as Jean continued to look over Logan and I still couldn't help but smirk. "Hey Jeanie, Lolo and I got hurt so why aren't you making sure that I'm ok too?" A grin spread across my face when Logan sneered at me and Jean blushed a crimson that I've never seen before. Oh yeah I'm going to have loads of fun with these two. "Oh forget it. I'll do it myself."
I love this trick. I raised my left hand and a spark began to form on my index finger. Wolfman once again brought out his claws. God this guy is too damn jumpy. I brought my finger over a gash that was going across my right shoulder and when I touched it the skin bubbled and sealed itself. It'll look gruesome now but in a few hours it will be completely healed. I know why didn't I just let it heal by itself if it heals so fast? I hate wearing bandages.
"So exactly who is the girl?" I couldn't help but smile cutely at Logan but it faltered when I saw his skin. It was once again flawless and the only evidence that he was ever in a fight was the fact that his shirt was shredded and there was blood over his shirt. Impressive.
"The names Layla, and Wheels over there doesn't want me to leave this place until I heal completely." And get a handle on that damn transformation.
"I was right you two would be per.OUCH!! Stop hitting me already." God and I thought men didn't cry. I looked around and saw Jeanie girl scolding Scottie boy, Wheels and Oreo are talking about something that I couldn't even hear with my good hearing. Lolo and I were the only two not talking. Now why didn't I see that coming?
I sat where I was and I stared intently at Logan. By his body language I knew he was pissed about something.or someone. He looked like he was going to snap any minute.
"Well listen as much as I want to stay here I would really like to get to my room and take a small 'cat' nap." I stood up and headed straight for the door. Before I could leave them to their own accord someone grabbed my arm right at the elbow. "Yes Xavier?"
"Layla before you leave I just want to let you know that starting tomorrow you and Logan will be teaching the new fighting course together."
Ok the only thing I heard were the words "Logan and I" "teaching" and "together". The only thing I could say to that was.
"WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"
"GET BACK HERE TENSHI!!!!!" Lawyers run after her with a bunch of ropes.
