XENA'S POV CHAPTER ELEVEN
"Finally you're here." Oikawa released a breath of relief. His tall build takes big strides with me following behind him closely.
"Xena baby, I want you to meet someone." He stepped to my side, and a man stood in front of me. He was a little shorter than Oikawa but nonetheless had a large build with an intimidating aura surrounded above him with deep green eyes that just screamed with authority.
"I believe we haven't properly met, I'm Hajime Iwaizumi." his deep voice spoke as his arm stretched out for mine. I took his hand, the callosus on his palm scraping my skin.
"It's nice to meet you Iwaizumi, I'm Xena." a smile casted on my lips, greeting the intimidating man.
I didn't think i'd ever have to get used to getting introduced to a bunch of mafia gangs but here we are.
"You as well, please call me Iwa." A small smile stretched across his lips, easing the little nerves that creeped up.
"Iwa here, also known as viper, is helping me train you today." Oikawa's voice echoed from behind us on the plain white walls.
The wooden floors were covered in wrestling mats with punching bags accompanied by the rest of the workout materials. "We're training you to fight."

"First is getting to read your opponents body language, make sure to glance at my feet because most of the time they're going to step before they swing okay?" I focused on each word he was saying, taking mental notes in my head.
At the end of this I get to say I can actually whoop someone's ass, that is something I'm looking forward to. "Always keep your hands up to guard your face." oikawa moved my glove-coated hands to guard my face.
"Always." he repeated before taking a step back. "We're going to start with some combos, then we'll give you workouts to do to progress your training." Iwa said before standing directly in front of me.
"Everywhere I move these pads, you're gonna jab there." he motioned to the pads that laid on his hands.
He extended his left hand further out, my right fist swinging to land the jab on it.
"Push off that back foot. Right hook here." he brought his left hand back to its regular position as I stepped forward with my left foot, my right hand swinging to hit the pad.
"That's better, the faster you turn, the more power you'll have, again." taking another step quicker than before, my right hand swung again with a greater force than before.
"Now over here." his hand moved further again as i took a rapid step while connecting my right hand to the pad again.
"You're a quick learner. Now this time, the combo you'll be doing is right-left-right, try to keep up and remember your steps. Go." I followed Iwaizumi's demand, doing the combo he assigned.
My right fist swung into his left hand, my left following directly after without hesitation into his right palm and finally my right fist again.
My chest heaved from the rapid movement. "Not bad for a beginner, your speed is impressive. She's got a mean hit." he turned towards oikawa.
He stood leaned against the wall in the corner with his hands crossing his chest, he sent a smug look at me that probably shouldn't be trusted.
"That doesn't shock me." he pushed off the wall, lazily walking towards us. The sweat trickled from the top of my head, rolling down the side of my face.
