Chapter 11 : Knifes and Claws

"Marie ? Are you alright ?" Logan asked

"Huh ? Oh yeah, sorry Logan, I dozed of for a moment."

"I thought so..."

"What were you talking about ?"

"Nothing special." Logan smiled

Marie smiled back at him, she still didn't tell him that she loved him. "He doesn't need to know it...yet" she thought, every time when she was thinking about him. Logan retracted his claws and Rogue got in her fighting position with her two bladed sais.

Because she did not have a power where she can really defend herself with, she had asked Logan to train her in fighting with swords. He agreed and she could chose out of a selection of swords where she could fight with.

Her eyes fell immediately on the two bladed said and she immediately picked them out.

"I want these."

"You sure ?"

"Yeah, they are perfect." She did a couple of turns in her hand with the swords and Logan smiled

"They are the exact copy of the swords that Elektra Natchios carries."

"Really ? Cool !"

"You know her ?"

"Who doesn't know her...she rocks...she's the best I know of sword fighting, except for you of course."

Logan smiled "Well, you can't easily call my claws swords now can you ?"

"No, you can't, but they are still cool though."

"Alright, you're going to pick those ?"

"Yup."

"Let's begin then."

They had begun their training immediately and Rogue could handle the swords quite easily.

"You can handle those very well."

"I learned from the best."

"Yeah, but you should fight Elektra once, she is the best of the best with those swords after all."

"Yes, of course, but I don't know her."

"I do, I'll call her after this."

"Alright, thanks Logan."

"You're welcome Marie."

They fought one more time together, this time, the fight was more intense and harder then the previous fights they had done that day. They usually trained together in the morning and evening.

The both of them meditated a lot together, for Rogue it was a way to silence all the voices in her head. For Wolverine, it was more an exercise and test to see how long he could hold still and keep his patience.

Most of the times, he would began the laugh silently but still continued his meditation.

Also, the meditation helped Marie to control her powers.

After the intense and hard fight, the two fighters were gasping for air. They smiled at each other and Logan cracked his neck and let his wounds heal immediately. Rogue walked to her towel to dry herself of the sweat and to clean her swords.

Logan walked out the room and Marie stored her two special knifes away at the special vault so that no normal student could get to them. She walked out of the room and went to the showers.

End of chapter

Sorry for the late update, I had a bit of a writers block

R&R please, I like reviews and I cannot lie :D

I hope you all like my story.

If anyone wants to see the knifes that Rogue uses, just search for Elektra (comic) at Wikipedia and look at the drawing. Normally you should see the sais pretty good ;-)
