It had been three weeks since Tatyana had fought Natalya and won. Three weeks since she had killed that target. The rest of the day of her first kill, she had felt fine but that night she had nightmares like never before. She kept picturing that person dead or herself killing hundreds of other people. Guilt had began to consume her. However within a week, while the dead body was still in her mind, the guilt began to fade away and she was calm once again. It had also been three weeks since she had last seen that dark haired girl. She wondered if she would end up taking anymore classes with this mysterious girl. For some reason, Tatyana felt like she needed to see that woman again. It was as though she was made to know this person. 
Luckily for Tatyana, she did end up in a class with the girl. They had been pitched against each other in a fight. As the other girls sparred these two truly went at each other. Both were clearly good at what they were doing and did not want to lose. Of course, nothing would happen to the loser of this match for two reasons. Reason one is that this was just practice and reason two was the teacher there clearly didn't give a shit who lost. The teacher was to busy sat at the window smoking her cigarette.
But still, neither of these girls wanted to lose. It was the last lesson of the day and they wanted to do well.
By the end of class, Tatyana and the girl were in a very suggestive position. Tatyana was straddling the girl with her hand on her throat and the girl had one hand wrapped in Tatyana's hair and the other on Tatyana's hip.
When they were told to leave they both jumped away from each other slightly embarrassed but more confused as to who won.
"Hey, I'm Kyoko." Said the girl, offering her hand to Tatyana.
"Tatyana." She replied, taking the hand in front of her.
"Yeh I know. You're the student who beat leader Natalya in the fight."
"That was me." Said Tatyana somewhat awkwardly.
"So you can sit in my lap but you find it awkward to talk to me?" Joked Kyoko.
Tatyana giggled, her nerves easing at the comment from the girl she had just fought.
"I'm like that sometimes. Sorry." Whispered Tatyana sheepishly.
"It's fine. I assumed you would be a bit uncomfortable in conversations that we don't need training for." Kyoko stated in a very matter of fact type of way."Plus, it's kinda cute." Continued Kyoko, saying the second part quieter in Tatyana's ear.
"Jeez thanks! A girl like like me loves being called cute. Not like I just beat you up or anything."
Kyoko gasped dramatically.
"You did not beat me. I let you on top with me."
"I'll let you think that."
"Let's go then."
Tatyana smirked and got into position.
"Five minutes. Whoever has the advantage by the end of that wins."
"I only need 4 minutes to defeat you, Tatyana."
The two girls jumped at each other and started to fight. Kyoko's shirt had been ripped halfway through out the fight and Tatyana had a split lip from Kyoko's ring.
They stopped abruptly, panting and staring at each other. Distracted, Tatyana didn't realise her fellow student running towards her until it was too late.
Kyoko had shoved Tatyana into a wall. One of her hands was gripping the pale girl's hips and the other arm lay across her chest, pinning her to the wall. Slowly, Kyoko started to lean in and leant down to the shorter girl's ear.
"I win," she whispered devilishly.
Then she took away her hands and walked off chuckling.
"See you around Tatyana."
