When Lita arrived, she had made it just in time, surprised as the other students were to find her body in bandages they didn't ask questions. Master Zonu came out of the main building as soon as he heard that she had returned.
"Lita I was beginning to get worried." Zonu said
"Gomen, Master Zonu," Lita replied, bowing in apology, "I got a little tied up in the forest"
"Understandable, now get something to eat, and come to my chamber when you're finished." Zonu said
"Yes sir." Lita said, nodding her head.
Lita knocked on the door on her master's chamber, or was about to when she heard voices coming from inside. She didn't recognize the first but knew the second was Master Zonu. Pressing her ear to the door she listened in on the conversation.
"I don't see why I have to wait, it's been a tradition." said the first.
"You have to wait because she hasn't realized that it is tradition for a female member of the Foss Family to be married to the male member that is next in line for inheritance of the Komarran Family." came Zonu's voice.
Lita's eyes went wide, this was why Zonu wanted her in his chamber to discuss marriage with Raven of the Komarran Family, she knew full well about it. The was a 'ahem' behind her, Lita turned to see one of the other Sensei's giving her a stern look. Lita laughed feebly and sweat dropped, oh great I'm in trouble, she thought as she was grabbed by the scruff of the neck. The Sensei knocked on the door, Zonu gave them permission to come in.
"I'm sorry sir, but Miss Foss was late in eating." he said
"Quite all right Seiloff, you can set her down." Zonu replied.
Seiloff set Lita down on her feet, she was avoiding eye contact with either of the two in the room.
"Glad to see that you have people who look out for your students." came the first voice.
"Yes, Lita please sit up I'm sure you're not that embarrassed." Zonu replied
Lita sighed inwardly, trust Master Zonu to make me face my fears head on, she thought sitting up, then replied, "Uh, Master Zonu, I'm terribly sorry for being late, I was feeling a bit off from all these bruises and wounds"
"Like I said before Lita, it's quite expected with you, sometimes you don't know when to quit for your own good." Zonu replied, Lita noted a hint of amusement in his voice.
"Miss Lita Foss, I am Raven Komarran, it's nice to meet you finally." said the first.
The man was close to her age, he was dressed in elegant robes of navy blue with a silver trim, his eyes were dark yet striking, he had long maroon colored hair, he's cute, she thought.
"Hai, you too." she replied Raven bowed his head, Lita bowed in respect, even though it hurt.
"Lita, maybe you should get those wounds cleaned again." Zonu said
"Huh, oh, don't worry Master Zonu, I'm fine for now, I'll get them changed when I go to bed." Lita replied
"Hm, very well, I need to go check in with the guards, I'll let you two talk some more." Zonu replied, bowing before he got up to leave, dismissing the questionable look from Lita.
As soon as the door shut, Lita rubbed a spot on her side, she was in more pain than she should've been in. Raven saw the movement and came over towards her.
"How hard did you get hit?" he asked
"It really wasn't that hard, it just hurts a lot more than it should." she replied
"Strange, do you know who attacked you?"
"No it's unknown, though I'm sure if we ever met again it would be his funeral"
Raven leaned a little closer towards her, but at that moment a blast went off and hurried foot steps were outside the door. It burst open to reveal a scrawny type of man with a smirk on his face.
"Ah, Prince Raven, I figured you'd be here, meeting your bride to be." he said, watching as Raven put a protective arm around Lita, more of in a brotherly way.
"What are you doing here Consway?" he demanded
"That should not be your concern." Consway replied, unsheathing a sword.
Raven got a worried look on his face, it wasn't a type of worried that Lita liked, she stood up and moved in front of Raven, unsheathing her katana.
"You think you can take me on, girl?" Consway said, skeptical.
"Yeah I think I can." Lita said, this made him smirk even more.
Consway then charged at her and attacked her, Lita blocked all the attacks, until Consway feinted an attack, Lita realized it just in time and flipped over him without a scratch.
"I have to admit, you've been taught well," Consway said, moving very slightly to the right, Lita's eye caught the movement but didn't put too much into it, "Let's see how you fair when there's a life on the line"
Lita realized what he was going to do, she began running towards Raven, the same moment he did.
"Move!" she shouted as she withdrew three four star shurikens and aimed them at Consway. He dodged them but his moment of distraction was enough to have Raven move behind Lita.
"Your skills are amazing, they may even rival mine, girl." Consway said
"If they do rival yours then I will make sure that they get better." Lita replied
Consway attack again, Lita blocked all his strikes, he feinted once, Lita realized that, but he feinted again and this time got a hit in, his sword sliced Lita side, making a deep gash. Lita was in shocked for a second or two, then cried out clutching her side, now her world was a dizzying haze, she fell over.
Consway then moved in for the kill, as Lita was trying to get her bearings, but he didn't get the chance to he fell over on the spot, Zonu standing behind him with a disgusted look on his face, and blood on his sword. Lita saw what had happened, and tried to stand but fell over again. Raven caught her before she fell hard but she was trying to stay conscious.
"Don't move Lita, you're only making it worse." Zonu said
"I don't care, I want to know what the heck is going on." Lita replied
"You'll find out what is going on in good time, Lita, now do not move, it'll-" Zonu broke of suddenly with a gasp, from what Lita could see, he had a blade sticking through his shoulder.
