Chapter 7

From then on, training started. Helen and Paris sparred almost every day. Within a good two weeks, paris got taller and stronger. During one fight, she sparred with helen. They bowed to each other. They both stood up and went into fighting stance. Helen went into a crouching tiger fighting stance. paris mimicked her. They stared at each other before leaping at one another. Paris leaped at paris and threw a flying lead leg front kick. Helen spun her body and got lower, trying to sweep paris's legs out from underneath her. Paris jumped into the air, back flipping and landing on her feet. They both wore fighting shoes and had black sweatpants and a black gi jacket. Paris reached behind her back and pulled out a kunai and threw it at helen, watching it fly towards like an arrow. Helen pulled her own large kunai out and deflected it. Helen leaped at paris, getting ready to end this sparring match. But this time, paris pulled out chakra blade knuckle guard knives. She wore them like brass knuckles, except these had blades on the end that curved. She threw up an x block, crossing her arms in front of her, blocking helen's strike. She threw her arms downwards, sending helen flying back. Paris stood in boxing stance, her arms up. Helen nodded her head in amazement. " Im impressed, not many girls can wield guard knives " she said, sheathing the kunai into the pouch on her leg. Paris did the same thing. They walked over to a bench next to the sparring mat. They both grabbed a water bottle and drank at least half of the water in it. They walked inside the temple, where they found someone waiting for them. She wore a light green gi jacket, black winter coat, and light green gi pants. It had buttons on the gi jacket. She was sitting at a small Japanese table, pouring a cup of tea. She had dark brown hair with streaks of blonde in it. She had olive skin and bright green eyes. She set her pot down and looked at paris and helen. She quietly reached behind her back, grabbed a small kunai. With lightning speed, she threw it at helen. Helen crossed her arms in front of her face. A bright red shield hologram appeared in front of helen. The kunai bounced off the shield and imbedding itself in the wooden floor, handle sticking up wards. The lady crossed her arms. " Your timing was slow but shield was able to be conjured in time " she said scowling. Helen lowered her arms and her shield disappeared. " Master Lilica, we are honored by your visit " said helen bowing. Paris also bowed. " Save it, news of Master Tiro's death has been brought to our attention and has shaken the balance of power on the beast council " she said, standing to her feet and walking over to helen and paris. " Yes, he fell by General Seko's hand " said helen looking down at the floor. " Excuses are unexpectable " growled Master Lilica. " Your job was to protect Master Tiro, and now that we no longer have the bear guardian on our side, montegar can overpower us and destroy our world " she growled, looking down at Helen. Paris took a step forward towards Master Lilica. " Leave Helen alone. Grandfather knew the risks when he engaged General Seko. So how about you back off? " Growled paris, starring master lilica right in the eye. Lilica glared at Paris. Paris glared back. Lilica took a step back. " No one disrespects me in that tone " growled Master Lilica. " No one treats my family like that. I don't care how about things are, you don't go throwing blame around just because you have the authority to do so " paris shot back. " Let's take this to a sparring match " growled Lilica, stepping around helen and paris and heading to the training ground.
