I was taken by surprise and was in shock while laying on the ground. I heard the princess laugh, and I didn't mind that she was finding this funny because I was having fun myself. And plus she doesn't have fun that much by the looks of it. I stood up and tried not to smile when India taunted me by acting as if she didn't know what happened. I took a step forward and before I could even raise my fist she hit me in the jaw. I felt pain, but it didn't hurt. She was playing with me.

"You see I did the same with India here. And I was wondering if it'll work for you too", she said nodding approvingly, " I hope you use it wisely,...Azoro", she said almost pleadingly. In that moment I hated myself for even considering to let Asyrd go free. She looked almost saddened by the fact. India sensed the mood and stopped hitting me. I gave June a stiff nodded. She understood that I'll think about it and left. By that time the other Rahul stood up and followed giving me a wide grin. I suddenly felt drained of energy. I held my head as I relaxed.

"You okay bestfriend", she asked, I smiled.

"We're bestfriends now? ", I asked. She nodded,

"Yeah. And that's a good thing. I don't have friends that are boys. It's just different,...but me and you are similar and I can't help but enjoy your company", she said almost nervously. She tried not to stutter with the sentence.

"Alright then, I guess I could nickname you Indy, India makes it seems I'm just a friend", I said yawning. She nodded thoughtfully.

"I'll just say bestfriend to you", she remarked. I agreed to it and asked her if I could skip training today. I was tired.

"Yeah, go ahead to the cottage and bring that stack of wood in on the porch. Winter will be here soon next month", she added. I nodded and hugged her goodbye. I jogged to the cottage and took a hot shower. And boy did it feel good. I went and pulled the curtain between me and India's room and went to sleep. This new body was going to be sore in the morning. It was heavier to carry.

**********************************************************************

I woke up the next day. Or should I say India woke me up, with a cold bucket of ice and water. I nearly hit the ceiling because I was surprised, my heart slowly went to its normal pace while laying on my elbows on the floor facing her. She was double over laughing, I grinned and looked down at my soaked clothes. Well I'll need to find something else to sleep in today.

"You're laughing Indy, but I'm soaking wet", I said getting up. She stop laughing not understanding.

"So,... What does that mean", she asked forcing the last laugh down. I lunged forward and wrapped her in a hug forcing her into a wet embrace. She squealed and fought weakly back at me. I finally let go and saw that the water did little to her sports bra and gym pants. But her hair was a hot mess, it was all drenched and unkempt, I bubbled with laughter at the sight. She looked like she had horns. She gave me a playful glare and placed her hair in a bow.

"Well mister huggy bear, put these on and grab your sandwich from the kitchen counter. I'll meet you at the mansion", she said,

"Wait, don't we get dropped off there", I asked confused brushing my hair from my face. She shook her head and grinned.

"You've got to run the way there for a warm up every morning for the rest of the year. Have fun", she said and broke into a quick run out the room. I sighed and peeled the clothes off my body including my boxers. She's definitely going to take my bed sheets to the dryers. I put the clothes on and looked in the mirror and was shocked. I never owned a mirror while I was training as a Rahul, and I didn't know exactly how I looked.

My skin color was a bronze type because I was told I had a heritage of black and Mexican. My eyes were a dark brown and my hair was a curly thick afro. My body looked defined in the black tank top and my biceps were a good size for my age. I looked more lean than muscled if you ask me and I liked that. I didn't want to be overly muscled. I turned from the mirror and chided myself. It was bad thing to become vain, a sin if you ask me. I shook my image from my head and went to do my morning run. I met India where all the other Rahuls were, in the training room.

A older man stood in front of us, he was a huge burly man. His bald head was glistening with sweat. His red beard flashed angrily at me as I was the last one to come in. He gave me a hard glare but continue speaking.

"You all will need to be here exactly at 7:50 sharp. Any later you will be have to be in the sweat room for an hour", he said, cruelty flashing in his eyes," I'm sure you all know how that works. You will be hanging over hot coals for twenty minutes. You will need to hold onto a rope in each hand, while your fellow classmates watch. Are we clear", he growled roughly. We all nodded.

"Good, now lets get started. Grey and Finch, please approach the middle of the mat and get ready", he said. I felt a little awkward because I was the only one who wasn't use to this stuff. The Finch boy was near my size but a little bigger. That's good, it'll even the fighting field. He was a dark haired boy, with brown eyes and and a shy stance. As if he didn't want to hurt anyone or do something that isn't approved. I guess he came from a bad family.
"Ready Finch... Grey? ", The man asked. We both nodded and exchanged smiles at each other.

"Good, now let's see what you got", he said.

Is good so far? Curious about India and Azoro, or Tessa. Continue reading if you want to know more.
