What's worse than knowing your fiancé and ex-girlfriend, a straight male and a gay female, all sharing a bi former partner in common are in the same building? Having to see the possessiveness and threats thrown between each other was the closest thing to dying of awkwardness.

Kane already said it, and he didn't took it back once he came back to his sober state. If he saw Alexandra's lips on mine again, he'd kill her. And make me watch. I thought maybe he didn't meant it, but he hasn't said anything to correct himself or take it back. And knowing Alexandra, she wasn't going to back off.

If I didn't have a problem before, now I clearly sure as hell do.

And having to see Aaliyah, Arturo and Andre greet Alexandra into Spectialty X told me this day was going to be where my present and past clash like fire and ice. Would I burn or freeze off?

"Kane," Kyros said when he greeted Alexandra into the Specialty, "you must be Alexandra."

She smiled, "do not call me Alex, mate." You know she was being extraordinary snappy today when she called you "mate". "And yes, I've heard about you."

"For fuck's sake," Ravenclaw said, turning away to do something as she let the hate and threats pass between their eyes.

"Same, Alex." Alex's smile went to hell. "Andra," Kane added, this time he smiled.

"And," I grabbed her arm. "I'm Irina, Dragon, whatever floats your boat."

"Woah, you increased rank babe," Alexandra said when I let go of her arm. "From Butterfly to Dragon?"

I nodded. I had hoped no one caught the endearment "babe", but they all certainly did. Aaliyah held Kane's arm, for the sake of Alexandra's face.

You know that thing... About not hitting women... That doesn't apply when you're on training hours. Ravenclaw prefers women to be beaten down until your strength becomes more than a man's. Someone had to let Alexandra know. Kane would be the one to teach her the ways.

"Ravenclaw what are we doing today?" Andre asked to break the icy moment that was about to heat up very, very soon.

"We'll go easy on the new chick, I like her." Of course your bitch ass does. You see she's causing quite the stir. "Combat training, in pairs, cheats allowed."

"Arturo," I called first. I quickly stood beside him and grabbed his arm. Right away Aaliyah took Kane for me and Andre took Alexandra.

"So, no offense, but your luck is probably worse than it can ever get," Arturo said, helping me wrap my knuckles in the gauze. "And the last time I saw Kane be so vengeful was when Zachary was beheaded." That was six years ago.

"That makes me feel a lot better," I said sarcastically.

I grabbed two daggers. Today we were allowed to cheat. Meaning anything but killing was allowed. Arturo grabbed a spear and we moved to stand in the concrete circle, positioning ourselves before going in for the near-kill.

And we were good for like... 2 hours. Two hours of training, everyone was happy and calm and enduring pain. But pain was almost becoming really bearable now, almost like being smacked on the hand.

However, something so sudden yet so stupid like pride kicked in. Guess on who?

Yeah, her. Kane guided himself by logic and emotion, not sudden impulse. Alexandra was not only impulsive, but quite the egoist.

"Time to switch it up, don't cha think?" Alexandra asked, switching the combat knife from hand to hand, starting to circle Kane.

And once you entice Kane, he wasn't letting it slide. He was that chill person on a corner until you called him out. He wasn't going to back off, that was for sure. And I've had both teach me how to fight. Alexandra had nothing on Kane. He's had years of combat training, from military combat to karate. Alexandra's had gang/street fights.
