Undertaker's Apprentice

Chapter Eighteen: Combat Training with a Demom

    Halona smiled, with her katana in hand she charged at Sebastian with inhuman speed. Sebastian easily dodged the attack and smirked. The girl growled and leaped into the air ready to plunge the blade into the demons throat. Sebastian leaped also, meeting her in the air and kicking her to the ground. Halona however did not lose her stance.

    "Damn!" Halona muttered. She knew the demon was powerful, but she had no idea he was almost as strong as Undertaker. She readied her katana and stood her ground. Determination was all he could see in her eyes.

    "My, you are stronger than you look." Sebastian complemented. Halona charged again, but only managed to cut a small piece of his hair off. She swung the blade at him repeatedly, but the butler blocked every strike with butter knives and forks.

    "Who the hell carries around butter knives!?" Halona asked.

    "I do." Sebastian simply answered.

    "Bloody hell." She muttered. Halona ran towards him and fought as best she could. She jumped behind him and aimed to strike, but before she could make her move Sebastian easily turned around and punched her gut. Halona flew into the air and crashed into a tree. Ciel was about to yell at his butler for hurting Halona but the girl stood up. Bruises covered her body head to toe but her face showed that she was far from defeat.

    "I'm surprised you can even stand." Sebastian said. Jade clenched her fists.

    "Come on Halona you can do it!" She yelled. Halona nodded and cried out, she slashed  her katana at the butler left and right but he blocked each attack. She slashed once more, then managed to kick the butler hard enough to send him staggering. Ciel's eyes widened in shock.

    "How did she do that!?" He asked out loud.

    "You caught me off guard. I figured that you wouldn't be able to touch me." Sebastian said. Halona struggled to stand but still managed to raise her sword.

    "I'm stronger than I look remember." She said slowly. Sebastian smirked and took out his knives. 

    "Perhaps. But not strong enough." Many knives flew at the girl, she was able to dodge most of them, but was still cut in the process.

   "Very light on your feet I see." Sebastian said.  Halona groaned. Her body was bruised, cuts covered most of it. Blood slowly came from her mouth. Her clothes, tattered and ripped. Yet she still stood there, ready to fight. Ciel couldn't help but stare. This girl is amazing, he thought to himself.

    "My, my, you are full of surprises." Said the butler. Halona wasted no time in clashing blades with Sebastian. They fought for what seemed like an hour. Still, Halona stood tall, a fire in her eyes.

    "I'm not done yet!" She cried out, she kicked, punched and slashed at Sebastian at an inhuman speed. Sebastian dodged almost every attack. But he was too slow in dodging her katana. He staggered back again, a cut on his cheek. He lifted his hand to feel the blood oozing from his face.

   "I'm impressed. A child has never been able to even strike me, and yet here you stand. Well done."

   "Shut up and fight me." Halona scowled. Sebastian gave her a surprised look. But smiled and took out more kitchen utensils.

   "Very well. But I must warn you. I won't hold back anymore." Halona's eyes widened in fear.

   "You. . . You were holding back?" She asked nervously. Sebastian tried not to laugh.

   "Did You think I wasn't? Oh dear, you underestimate me." He sent the blades flying her direction. Halona was too weak to move, but before the blades could get to her. . .
