The Realization

Your POV

Your days are comprised of training with the Ninja, getting ready to face Damien Malcom and hopefully not get captured again. When fighting one on one, you are an effective fighter. Fighting two others with no back up is harder, but you can do it. Three takes a lot of effort, but is possible. Four or five though, that's too much on your own. But with help, you can fight four people, hopefully more, you just can't test that with only five people with you.

At the moment, Kai is sparring with you. He had told the others to start working on plans while the two of you sparred. You and Kai are circling each other, arms out in battle positions. You are defensive while Kai is offensive. Cole had taught you prior to this round that defense was the most effective stance when the enemy knows you are fighting them, with some exception. Kai comes running at you, send his foot toward your chest. You block and in turn put you leg behind Kai. You push him over and trip him with your leg. Kai stumbles, but quickly regains himself. You continue to dodge and block for sometime, never really making an offensive move.

"I know Cole told you to go defensive," Kai says, "but he also said that at some point you need to stop blocking and start attacking."

In response you pull and roundhouse kick and hit Kai square in the jaw. Kai's head jerks back in pain. "Sorry!" you say, not wanting to hurt him.

Kai pulls his head back to face you. It's obvious that his face is going to sting for a few hours. "It's fine, y/n, but don't apologise next time you hit someone," Kai says jokingly.

You smirk. "Fair enough." You send your fist flying toward Kai's uninjured cheek, but Kai blocks you. He counter attacks with a punch, and you dodge and grab his arm. Using the force from his punch, you send him flying behind you. You quickly turn around so he can't do anything while your back is turned. Kai quickly jumps up.

"There you go! Remember, use your elbows! There's more force involved when you elbow someone versus when you punch or hit someone," Kai says helpfully. You immediately stick your elbow in his ribs.

"Thanks for the tip!" you say with a smirk.

"Should not have said that!" Kai says as he backs away from your elbow. You and Kai are five feet apart, and you run forward and jump, ramming your knees into his gut. He falls over, which you did not expect. You fall with him, landing on top of him. You are seated on his hip, with your legs straddling him.

Right then, both of you stop. You did not expect to send Kai toppling to the ground, and you did not expect to fall on top of him. But now that you have, neither of you seem to be able to act. Your heart is racing, and you swear you can feel Kai's heart beat going at three hundred beats per minute. Your chest is beginning to hurt from the throbbing of your heart.

Kai is the first to do anything. He slowly grabs your hands in the most gentle way he can. Despite the gentility in his grasp, it is firm. His hands and his whole body are extremely warm, but it feels good. "You did amazing, y/n," Kai says, a small amount of shock in his voice, but his voice was still full of love. "Damien better watch out."

You chuckle nervously, not sure what to do or say. "I, uh, um, yeah, I guess I did well." You notice Kai's face is starting to bruise where you kicked it. You brake Kai's grasp on your right hand and place your hand over his cheek. "I'm sorry I hurt you."

Kai laughs. "I've had worse injuries from a sparring session. Or, one time, when we were using the Golden Weapons for the first time, I set the training area on fire." Kai laughs. "Sensei was pissed! He told us not to use them, and we did, and I started a fire!"

You laugh. "You really did that?"

"Oh yeah!" Kai smiles at you. "But that's beside the point, y/n. That, that was fantastic, y/n. You are fantastic!"
