Rated M for blood, violence and death...

Disclaimer: AVP don't belong to me but to their makers, only Bruna the blind girl and the plot are mine.

Bruna had a hard duel, and at the end she won, now she is healing her wounds with C'Tack's help.

All of you will know through this chapter how Bruna acquired her Knowledge about Ki, and how learn to feel the opponent through that energy.

Now you have to read to find out about what will happen next, but I'll tell you a thing... She will have a nice chat with her opponent, Ma'Ruack.

So have a nice reading folks!

A Small talk.

C'Tack begins to treat Bruna's wounds, very carefully, they hurt a lot and are a little deeper, examined them carefully, replying, "You got lucky Bruna." The blind girl just says, sighing, "I know, but I'm relieved to have finished everything. "C'Tack agree with it," indeed Bruna , I was watching the fight, and I thought the worst . "She lowers her head a little," And I know he was very crafty. "C ' Tack know what Bruna speaks, Ma'Ruack is very experienced and a seasoned hunter who has fought in many duels, always won, "But what happened there, you were very disoriented, allowing Ma'Ruack hit you several times!" She raises her head towards C'Tack while loose her hair, "There was much noise and mixture of smells, I could not calculate where he was, my strokes reached the air ..." He noticed it as she fought for her life, but later gets curious about one thing, how she managed to give back to the duel in her favour, "There is something that intrigues me Bruna, how you sensed the Catana that Ma'Ruack was using to try killing you, despite your disorientation?" She remembers this moment, "When everything seemed lost, I remembered the energy that surrounds all living beings, Ki, was only a matter of concentrating and capturing that energy, and the Catana was well ... something my Sensei taught me. "He raises his eyebrows intrigued, "Incredible, and Bruna you got a good kick, and in the end you managed to win this duel!" She smiles, "Yeah, it's true, he did not know how I beat him!" C'Tack is curious because of another thing, Bruna's attitude towards Ma'Ruack at the end of the duel, "Why you didn't killed him?" She just said closing her eyes (though not see), "I had no right to kill him just that." He could see the human in front of him is an honourable fighter, not trying to reach the means by killing, but through compassion and friendship.

He will apply the usual healing solution to accelerate her healing, but it hurt a little, "Be careful what you do C'Tack!" The Yatuja smiles, and she feels it, "Keep making fun of me. Damn you're a big jerk! "He raises his eyebrows," How so Bruna? "She gives him a little pat on the shoulder," Why do you ask that? "With a smirk just says," Because I want you to be one! "And laughs, and C'Tack know she is playing with him, and also decides to enter on her game.
Several Predators pass through the halls and hear laughter and just nod, they must be thinking that the Elder's son must have gone mad at once, but do not know what he's having a good time with the Ooman who is in his chambers.

Both ignore all that, and C'Tack just says, "Thanks Bruna, I really needed this!" After covering her wounds with clean bandages, "You'll be with some nice scars!" She holds her hand, "I will carry them as a sign of my fight against this Predator! "She begins to yawn, is very tired because of fighting, so lay on the bed, turning her back to C'Tack, asleep immediately afterwards, he only cover her, moments after he is watching her sleep .
This time will be his turn to examine her knowing beforehand that she will not wake up, and begins to move his hands through her soft body, curiosity is stronger than him and this is the most natural thing. In the days that had been with her ever had the opportunity to be so close to her,unless he was going to treat her wounds.
He spends a finger on Bruna's silky lips, wondering about how would be kiss them, then caresses her hair that is very soft, and with a very pleasant aroma, and was like this during the time she is sleeping .

She did not give notice of C'Tack caressing her long hair, has a heavy sleep, but this time was dreaming about her master Taru who had died due to the Xenos, she dreams of the beginning of her formation about Ki, before it all happened, about 15 years.

Flashback

Bruna is at the Dojo doing some exercises to accurate her senses, Taru insists, if she wants to be a good warrior and not depend on anyone else, wants her to be independent, then listened to it several times to say same thing, "You have to focus Bruna, feel your inner power!" She was forced to do everything several times over several hours.
The training left her frustrated, she couldn't focus on things, and she wanted to see things like a normal person, not having to go through that, "I'm sick of all this, when it will stop?"

Taru heard it and puts a hand on Bruna's shoulder, his eyes are full of tenderness, though Bruna does not see them doesn't mean she don't know how he is, knows he likes her as his daughter, giving him much affection and discipline, she feels all this, then hear it, "Bruna, one day you will thank me for this." She smiles, but she hears something unusual, "Let's go to the park Bruna, you need to relax a little. "The girl smiles, is pleased to have a short break from hard training that she has having.

Half an hour later both are in Pershing Square Park, both are seated to enjoy the Nature sounds as well getting some sun. While Bruno is sitting, starts listening her Sensei,talking about unusual things,"What do you feel when you're in the park?" She responds, " I feel relief, and peace Sensei. "He gets up circling it," Me too, but beyond that what you feel? "She gets a little lost but tries to answer the best she know," People and the Nature itself. " Taru is very satisfied with her answer, then puts his hand on her shoulder, "Very well my daughter !" Then he looks at her and decides to stroke her, and with a subtle movement does just that.
When he was to hit its target a hand stops the trajectory of his kick, then causes it to fall, "But what gave to you Sensei?"

He recovers quickly rising, "You have very refined senses Bruna, was why you felt it." She smiled, feeling the joy of her master, "That's why you have to practice every day through a lot of meditation." She sighs, leaning against a tree, "Is very important believe me." Once Taru put his hand on the tree, says smiling, "Do you remember when I spoke about Ki to you?" The girl nods, "Yes Sensei, is the energy that surrounds all the living and beyond. "He looks at the trees," Well Bruna, you have a good idea about what it is, what makes me very optimistic. "Then he looks at her," You're too young, and you will learn how to find this energy, it will be difficult but believe me, it will be worth it. "She rubbed her hands with a twinkle in her eye," I love a good challenge Sensei. "The girl is eager to begin, and Taru just says," Meditation is a good start, and will be a matter of time, and one thing you gotta have a good knowledge of the human body understood? "She just says," I'll start right away. " Taru looks at the blind girl, informing her "There will be a volunteer to help you, because you're blind, you can feel the life energy of each body part." She just said while gives her hand to her Sensei very satisfied, "Thank you, will be vital for me."

Taru gets a look much more serious and the young Bruna realizes this when he held her hand, knowing what is real, then hear it, "When your senses are put into question due to the mix of smells, sounds or you can not capture the vibe of your opponents is the Ki that will help you. "She is amazed by what the Master tells her," How come Sensei? But my senses are accurate! "He raises his hand," I know that child, that's why we train hard, I'll take you to each one of your senses, you have to focus the vital energy of every individual, so you can have a guarantee if you view the throes of what I mentioned in a combat arena, and one thing by capturing your opponent's Ki, you will be an effective and formidable opponent. "The girl rubbed her hands very pleased, it's a good challenge for the young girl, her eyes sparkle, and she wants to learn how to capture this vital energy to be prepared for any eventuality, "Sensei, I will do my best!" He just said very satisfied, "That was I want to hear child!" Student and Teacher are in the park continuing to contemplate the sounds that natures has to offer.

End of Flashback.

While Bruna sleeps,she cracks a smile, which is reported by the Yatuja who is watching her sleep.
C'Tack wonders why Bruna smile on that way, and moreover in their sleep, are she dreaming of anything good associated with it, probably yes. Barely knows that Bruna's dream is about something that happened about 15 years ago when she was still in its early adolescence.

Then someone knocks the door, and he gets up going to see who it is but a voice is heard "It's me C'Tack, can I give a word to you?" He recognizes the voice, is his friend R'Kahr, he answers a bit annoyed "But what do you want?" And opens the door to him, "Don't bother with me, I just want to know how is the Ooman!" C'Tack replies,"She's sleeping old friend, and please don't bother her, she need of her rest. " R'Kahr are disappointed, he just wants talk a bit with the Ooman female, "Okay, later I want know how is she." C'Tack just says, "I would say to her that you come here." R'Kahr just says, smiling at his friend, "She knows how to fight, perhaps I will challenge her to a duel, but a friendly one!" And they both start to laugh, "You're amazing you know?" R'Kahr responds, "I know." he mutters to himself, "Ass." His friend goes out there to join with the members of their clan, while C'Tack is watching the girl who is before him.

Two hours passes and Bruna awakes with a good mood, C'Tack remains puzzled about what happened to the Ooman to be on that way, and she feels he is wondering about her willingness and she just says, "It's just good memories C'Tack, when I was training with my Sensei Taru." C'Tack help her get up and wear something lighter, and hear it, "I wanted to go to the infirmary talk to the Predator who fought me. "Right away it is forwarded to the desired place and it only makes one request," Can you will translate what I gonna say? "C'Tack just says while looking at her," Sure Bruna. "

The things that Bruna has to say, have to be translated, Ma'Ruack barely knows how to speak English, his knowledge of the language is very limited, and Bruna doesn't speak a word of Yautjan.
She has some things to tell him, want to make him see that humans are not what he thinks, feels he has the wrong idea about her race, knows she can not change their mentality, but at least she will know she tried do her best.
Want to learn more about the Predators culture, its history and its religion, as it gives great value to all this, after all she was raised with good moral and religious values. When talking to Ma'Ruack will get the chance to understand everything.
Shortly afterwards both are at the infirmary door, and who receive them was Sh'Indrara, which is pleased to see the blind girl in one piece, "I am glad to know that you're okay!" Bruna hold her hand, "I think Providence has helped me Sh'Indrara, that's all. "The Yatuja female is amazed at the response, C'Tack says, to the healer," Bruna is very humble. "The healer nods agreeing with him," That's very good believe me, I wish that many of the hunters had her humility! "Sh'Indrara is very curious about the blind girl performance, wonders how she managed to defeat the Predator more problematic of her clan, Bruna feel the apprehension in the air," Are you curious isn't it? "The other answers a little curious, "Yes." Bruna says while wink her eye, "It's was lucky!" Sh'Indrara is astonished at the girl's answer but she hears, "One day I'll teach you." What makes Sh'Indrara very surprised at the answer.

Sh'Indrara wonders why the human is there but quickly discovers, "I just want to talk to the Predator who fought me." The healer is afraid, but guide her towards Ma'Ruack, "The Ooman who fought you came to talk with you. "Ma'Ruack tries to get up but two small hands force it to lie," Shhh, don't force yourself, hunter. "C'Tack translated what she had said, and he asks,"What do you want from me, it don't enough the dishonour in loosing against a Ooman?"Again she hears the translation, but she finishes off him," I see no harm in defeat, I see as a vital lesson for life. "When he listen the translation is amazed to hear, how can we learn from a defeat? He has to know. "You're weird Ooman, learn from a defeat? What can you learn from all this? "She listens to the translation of the answer, sighing," You learn to be humble as well as gain knowledge about other forms of combat, I learned on that way."

When Ma'Ruack hear what she said, smiling, "In fact, you were superior to me in all aspects." He does another question, "When I was defeated, why you didn't killed me and go my head as a trophy? "She hears the question translated, then holds his hand," I don't have that right Hunter, despite belonging to your clan, I have another way of thinking, and steal a life for me is inconceivable even being taken in self-defence." His eyes are wide open when hears the translation, "Are you kidding me?" She notices the tone of his voice, and shook her hand, "I've never been so seriously." Then he felt two tiny hands to tread his entire body, including his face, "You are full of scars ... which proves that you are very impulsive and not just that, here's more." And draws a finger in one of them, feeling its texture, "Kainde Ametha? "Ma'Ruack not know what to say, but responds with a nod," Yes, in my Chiva."Once he feel her hands to touch on his dreads, particularly on the rings," I like your ornaments, have a peculiar texture!" C'Tack translated what she had said.

But there is one thing that called his attention, why she track his entire body with the hands? Why not move her head like a normal Ooman, or does not match the gestures that he do?
He doesn't realize it, but the girl who is touching him is blind from birth, and uses all the senses to guide her, then notices when she walks to meet C'Tack, use her hands, "Strange why the Ooman is holding C'Tack's arm? "Bruna perceives and approaches the Yatuja, looking directly into his eyes, Ma'Ruack notices something, her irises are unfocused, damaged,"You...you are blind ... Ooman!"She nods smiling, "Yea." He is astonished, he was defeated by a blind girl, how she did that? He must know, Bruna captures his apprehension saying, "One day, I'll teach you!" And smiles to him .

When she goes out there just listen, "Ooman ... take it!" She feels to put something in her hand, "It's an honour to have fought with you Ooman, you have a friend here!" Bruna is moved and embraces Ma'Ruack, "I'm honoured, thank you." Moments after C'Tack and Bruna leave the infirmary going towards their quarters, "He wasn't rude to you Bruna." She holds his arm, continuing the march, "I know." C'Tack continues walk being very satisfied, Bruna won a friend, he know that Ma'Ruack will protect her with his life if necessary, for now it only remains that Ma'Ruack feels better to go back to their obligations.

While walking both are approached by three Predators, and Bruna asks C'Tack a little bit afraid, "What's going to be here these Predators, C'Tack?" He puts his hand on her shoulder, "They just came congratulate you and court you. "She raises her eyebrows with a smile," I never thought this match would attract your team mates, C'Tack. "He just puts his hand on her shoulder," Get used to it , Bruna, this is our people way. "She just says, while grabs his hand," Not bad, boys never wanted anything to me because I am blind. "C'Tack is surprised," Why? "She responds while walks," Through ignorance, I suppose . I think they were afraid to send them to my blindness. "He is very curious," How so Bruna? She explains, "It is normal for society to reject people with disabilities, not giving them opportunities." C'Tack knows what she speaks but with the Predators things are a little different, Nature chooses the strongest, and those with disabilities die in their first year of life.
Bruna feel C'Tack's apprehension, but says nothing, then crack a smile muttering, "At least I know I am not rejected between your people!" C'Tack just look to the girl, then spread his mandibles in a smile, "You showed your worth in your battle against Ma'Ruack, Bruna, that's why you were accepted among us, and you did good things to my people in the past. "The girl smiled, then does a little salute to the predators who are ahead, and that was answered by them, she knew why, C'Tack told her, leaving her very happy, then said with some irony, "I just hope to not be seen as prey." C'Tack snorts a little, "You aren't!" That make her more relieved, "Good."

Both continue their walk to the cafeteria to eat anything until they hear, "Well I didn't believe when I heard the Ooman had won, until now!" C'Tack speak while do the usual greeting, "But believe me, Bruna was excellent Varian!" Bruna feels something in her hands, leaving her very surprised, listening, "Not bad for a prey, not bad at all!" Bruna smiled, accepting the object right away, "It's something to regain your strength, drink ." She gets the odd glass to her lips, drinking the strange drink, and is a quite tasty.
Almost right away, feels a new energy, but starts to get asleep, due the drink, "It is the effect of the drink, do not worry, it will restore your energy while resting, as well as injuries that you may have purchased. "Bruna answered, yawning," Is medicinal? "He nods," Yes, it is Ooman, tomorrow when you awake, you'll see what I am meaning. "

Moreover C'Tack drink a little of C'ntlip, telling the girl who is on his side, "Tomorrow you go among to your own people, you can recover better." Bruna says, "C'Tack, thank you." After just says to Varian, "I appreciate your support, Varian, I would be happy to meet you." He just says as he passes his hand in her hair, " I'm honoured to meet you, Ooman." Then turn to C'Tack in their own dialect, "I do not know what you are waiting for , but if I were you, should made her yours !" He is in shock with eyes wide open, how his discovered ,despite not having said anything to him?
Then answer him, a bit serious, but not much , "You're silly do you Know? She is Ooman and will never work, get that idea out from your head! " He listen his friend ... again,"Listen C'Tack, she's a good warrior, a possible mate! "C'Tack nods," I know that, but not worth to court her,I know she a worthy warrior, but would never endure such a life, not by being blind, but because she belong to a species that is weak in all aspects!" But, he is admired by Varian action, and question himself," Why Varian accepted this tiny Ooman as a possible mate for me?" Then he look to the Yautja who is on the bar, wondering, perhaps he saw her as a honourable being, or it was because what she had doing to protect them at almost six years ago? This due about the story he had told about this particular Ooman.

On other side Varian look at the Honourable Warrior, and knows what he is thinking about Bruna, Varian knows she is tough , and calculates that C'Tack it protecting her, so he remarks "I see, fragile or not, just know she defeated Ma'Ruack!" C'Tack have to agree, Bruna despite being weak is tough nut to crack.

On the other hand his friend finds himself thinking, while it looks for C'Tack, "Although the Ooman can be blind, can see more of what we see." And in spite in having meet her a day earlier, knows that this Ooman has a great potential, shortly after he sees the two to go, very pleased, "He's such a ass, do not see what I saw? The love that he's feeling for her is jumping in sight!And wasn't only me who noticed, R'Kahr saw it too!" Then sighs while watch both,"I approve her, because she's a honourable Ooman, and had helped us in the past!" Varian nods his head sighing at the same time, then back to business, there are many predators who want to eat their meals and have a good time .

Moreover C'Tack is very thoughtful, after all his friend is right, should make Bruna his life mate, but will she will accept or not, only the future will dictate the fate of both friends, but for now the two will go to his chambers, Bruna needs rest, the next day she will return to his own people, to her mother.

Why Bruna wanted to talk with Ma'Ruack? Her friend C'Tack told her, he is a proud Hunter, as well a very stubborn one, she didn't cared and decided to know him better.

And was rewarded, now Ma'Ruack is her friend!

Why Varian approved Bruna? Despite she's being a Ooman it is also a worthy Warrior and... female.

I appreciate constructive criticism, thanks!
