La Route de la tombe

Part 6

Chapter 6

Gabriel was inside the carriage reading his map and on the outside on the roof of the vehicle sat Lila playing with the point of the arrow on her fingernail while observing Adrien sword fighting with Kagami.

"The most important part is you have to focus on your target's movements when you're fighting him" Advised the blue-haired woman standing vis-a-vis to Gabriel's son.

"That's what I'm doing"

"No, you're not. Come on try again" Told Kagami holding the sword towards the blonde.

"Okay" Announced Adrien hitting his sword on Kagami's starting to fence with her as both strikes on each other's sabers. Adrien guided Kagami backward towards a tree with a smirk, as he was managing the match, then she powerfully hit Adrien's sword, away from her sight and passed at the side of the tree, watching Adrien growling after she managed to trick him. Adrien ran at her swinging his sword at Kagami's, that she used to block his attack, then she fought him there next to the tree, watching on his face the anger growing from the many failures he had this evening.

"Are you tired?" Questioned the Japanese girl earning a head shake from the friend, which swung his sword back and Kagami ducked and Adrien smashed his sword on the tree.

"Argh this damn tree"

"This is a wood, what did you expect to see....a sleeping princess?" Lila said jokingly followed by a chuckle of her own joke, which Kagami seemed to have liked it too.

"It just would be easier to fight in a free space, like when I learned back when I was younger," Adrien said leaning back annoyed on the vertical trunk.

"You know, if you're ever going to fight anyone in a place full of obstacles like the forest, you need to find a use of them for your advantage or he'll finish you off faster than you believe"

Adrien thought about Kagami's words, then rolled his eyes at her giving her a short nod. "You're right, I think if you were before acting like a real fighter, that wanted to get rid of me, I would have been sliced immediately"

"Do you want to do a break or shall we continue?" Asked Kagami the blonde, making the blonde think about the answer.

"Maybe we shall do a break?" Adrien answered earning a nod from the Japanese girl, that turned her back to him making Adrien smirk as he took his sword, sneaking behind her. Adrien rapidly jumped at Kagami, then she looked back and defended herself with the sword, hitting Adrien's saber off her sight and fall down on her back with Adrien over her.

"Damn it, how did you know?" Asked Adrien surprised.

"Your shadow" Responded Kagami neutral. "Are you out of your mind by attacking me like that? You could have hurt me if you didn't pay attention"

"I wasn't going to hit you with the sword, I wanted to scare you and fight again....I just fooled you before about the break, cause I know you wouldn't pay attention"

"What you did would be okay on an enemy, but on me or someone you're training with is dangerous. Consider this as a tip, if you're going to do that on an enemy or not"

"Sorry about that, I didn't mean to act dangerous like this," The Frenchman said sitting up and helping Kagami to get up.

"It's fine nothing happened, I just wanted to make a point"

"Now we can do a break for real. No surprise attacks or anything"

"Deal" Agreed Kagami smiling at the blonde, which lied down on the ground gazing at the dark sky, afterward Kagami lied down next to him doing the same. Adrien sighed as he watched the stars at the top, making Kagami wonder if he was sad about her scolding him.
