Whispers of a hidden love

Chapter 2
7AM. Like I already said, I didn't fall asleep anymore.
I get up, make myself ready and leave for training.
I'd probably arrive first. Training starts at 8h15. It's now 7h30 and I'm at the dojo in less than a quarter.
Once I'm there, I make everything ready: the boka's in one corner, the towels in an other, and a tube of water in the 3rd.
I still have 20 minutes before the others arrive.
I set myself down, meditating carriage. I clear my mind and try to relax. But it isn't working. My thoughts will always go back to that dream…
I'm so lost in my own thoughts, in my own world, that I don't hear the others come in.
"So Tala you're here early." A surprised voice witch I recognise immediately. The smallest one.
I turn my head and see my team standing there. I nod once, a greeting, but also a signal that I'm not in a really good mood.
"Bad night?" Spencer's soft voice you rarely hear when other people are near.
I shake my head. "Niet, I had a wonderful dream."
It was a mere whisper and I doubt if they heard it.
I stand up and face them totally. Bryan is glaring at everyone and everything. Spencer is slightly worried for me but ready to kick some asses. And Ian is thinking of a way to kill Bryan with a kind of bomb he made without anyone noticing. (At least that is what he thinks. We al noticed of course...)
I smirk. What kind of team do I have? I often ask myself that question... But than again, they're the best friends I could wish for.
"So, ready for a serious training?" My voice turns harsh and cold again. The guys smile. I know what they are thinking. Everybody is scared of me if I act like this, if any of us acts like this, but it's all an act. The guys all know that. They are all like me. They had to or they would have been killed...
I see them nod. I smile. Of course they are. It's true, my trainings are hard, but they're nothing they couldn't stand. We have been through so much worse...
I smile back, I know them to well, and they me.
"Warming up in the forest: 50 rounds around the lake, then a 400 mix and stretching. Get moving guys!" I'm smirking, al ready knowing there reaction, even though I'm joining them.
They sigh. It's going to be a hard training: those 50 rounds are hard, believe me that lake is big… That 400mix means 100 push ups with your feet resting on a fallen tree (witch means about 20cm above the ground...), 100 sit ups, 100normal push ups but you have to clap in your hands, and 100 push ups on one hand, witch isn't easy either.
After this little warming up, I pair them up. We're going to fight. I know they like the training. No matter how hard it is. I know they prefer the fighting's. At any matter. I also know they prefer to fight outside, but still I bring them to the dojo. Perhaps a little safer... However that is also doubtful. It's never save if I speak of us. But it is safer for the people who're just walking in the forest...
They smile. I use the same couples as usual: Me-Bryan and Spencer-Ian.
"Just an ordinary fight guys. You know the rules..." They nod and wait for my permission to start.
"Okay. Hajime!"
Once I gave the signal to start, Bry immediately starts to attack, although I'm able to block all his attacks.
I see the others shake their head and I smile softly.
That Falcon should know by now that starting to furiously attack a Wolf is not going to work.
Ian rolls his eyes and Spencer smirks. Well, we all know what is going to happen. Even Falcon knows, but he's just to stubborn to learn.
Out of the corner of my eye, I see that Ian finally decided to attack Spencer.
That little one is a good fighter.
He's just like his bit-beast: a snake. He can wait patiently until he finds the perfect situation to attack, and in the end, win his battle.
Although he always has difficulties with Spenc.
He is good at defending himself, and mostly finds a perfect block or dodge for every attack.
But it often happens that this big one looses from Ian.
I draw my attention back to Bryan. He was still attacking, but I sort of defended on automatic pilot.
But I can't focus today. I lose my concentration fast.
I curse myself for letting that dream take so much control of me.
Of course Bryan noticed my defending becomes weaker, of course he immediately moves to attack even more furious.
Luckily for me I somehow sensed him coming. I'm not in time to dodge his incoming fist, but I can block it of.
The true battle begins now...
I'm fully concentrated now. The dream banished for the moment. My attention fixed on my opponent.
I smirk, my opponent… He's my best friend, but when we fight, our friendship bonds are forgotten, are worth nothing. It gets serious. Very serious.
If someone doesn't stop us in time, and we really get in our fighting world, we might just be able to serious hurt (even kill) each other…
Our fists connect. Hard.
A backwards kick... Feet and legs flying through the air and hitting each other.
I'm back in my element again. I simply love to fight Falcon... He's good. And we know each other. Makes it more difficult to win...or lose...
He's attacking again. His fist ready to connect with my head.
I smirk. He's going down this time...
I block his incoming fist of. In a second, no, less than a second, I see a light surprised look in his eyes, but it is gone as soon as it came.
He certainly didn't expect that... He thought I would dodge it, like I would do most of the times.
But now I want to end this battle quick, and that's only possible if I do something he doesn't expect me to do... Like this...
So, I block of his attack, grip immediately his wrist and hit him with my feet in his stomach... The moment my feet connects, I let go of his wrist, sending him flying backwards.
Our battle is over...
I see his gasp for air.
I look at him, my eyes cold... (Like always when I'm fighting.)
He's glaring back at me. His eyes as cold as mine.
My eyes are the first to soften. I smirk, offer him my hand and help him standing on his feet.
"Nice fight Capt..." He's smiling. I simply love to see that smile, because it's a rare occasion to see it. After all he has a reputation to hold on to. He's the cold, most dangerous one of the Demolition-Boys. He's not allowed to smile... But then again, none of us is...
"Mate guys!"
Ian and Spencer immediately stop fighting. It ends in a draw.
"The boka's Capt.?" Ian's eyes lit up hopefully. After all I did put them ready.
I shake my head.
"Niet. No boka's today Ian." He nods. A bit confused.
Right, I don't feel like training today, but I think I'll have to.
"Time for blading guys. You can chose your adversary yourself."
The moment I said that, I already know the outcome. Same as usual: Spenc-Ian, Bry-me.
"3-2-1-Go shoot..." The 4 of us yell at the same time...and our blades fly away at the same moment.
Wolborg hits Falborg midway in the air, falling in the dish and immediately attacking each other again.
My mind wandering of again.
From a distance I hear Bryan call out Falborg.
I snap out of my daze and am right on time to order Wolborg to dodge.
Bry is standing smirking before me. We both already know the end of the battle... But I'm not going down without a fight.
"Wolborg...ATTACK!!"
Our blades connect with full force, sending both of them to the end of the dish.
The energy is flowing through us... From me to Wolborg, from Bryan to Falborg.
Falcon and I both are gasping for air.
'Damn it! Why did I have to lose concentration? Oh...Damn that dream!!'
I can see at Bryan's face that he is surprised that I wasn't focused.
'What's wrong with him? He never loses his concentration in a battle... But this is the second time today... What's gotten in his mind? He's going to lose this battle because of it...'
Our blades hit each other again. This time in a blast of white light. So bright we have to cover our eyes for it.
Once we could see again, Wolborg is lying out the dish, Falborg wobbling, but still spinning.
"Nice battle Bry."
He nods. A thanking for the compliment. But also a sign of respect for the fight and for me.
I look aside me, and see Spencer and Ian look at us. Their battle ended sooner than ours. Spencer had won it.
"What?"
I wonder why they are looking so strangely at us. Nothing happened, right?
"You lost? Nobody can beat you in a blading match...Even Bry not..."
Aha, now I understand.
"Well, seems someone can win of me Ian."
I'm calm, witch surprises them even more. Whenever I lost a match in the past, I would have been pissed off. Now I don't even care. I know why I don't. Because it was my own fault. I wasn't focused in the beginning. Bry deserved to win...
"Right, training is over for today guys. You did well."
That compliment earns me a smile from the 3 of them. Mostly I'm not fast with giving compliments. This was already the second one today...
"See you tomorrow guys."
They nod.
"Tomorrow Capt." The 3 of them say together while we all walk towards our homes.
