"When Tricia was only a child she's always having a training with the ninjas. Since we don't have any ninjas here, you could fight with Tricia. She's way more stronger from ninjas so I want you to becareful" paalala ni Dreifus, ang kuya ni Tricia (a/n: I forgot to write Tricia's siblings' name sorry haha)

"He's right. Even us can't surpass her at palagi kaming naiitsapuwera pag magkasama kami dati sa misyon. Yung napapatay namin ay ni wala pa sa kalahati ng napapatay niya. She's strong and she's merciless. But I think magagawa niya namang bawasan yon kapag nagsparring na kayo." Sinubukan pang pagaanin ni Azalea ang loob ng mga kaharap dahil para bang hindi na madumi ang itsura ng ilan.

"J-jaylou, you watched her training right. I-is she that strong?" Si Hostine, nag aalalangang tumango si Jaylou.

"She's strong and she has incredible speed despite of having 600pounds twin katana" sagot ni Jaylou na mas lalong ikinabagsak ng balikat ng mga ito. Inada, Hana and Seniichi look calm but their nervous like how nervous the six men are. They remember how they're beat into pulp when they were having their sparring and two or three weeks ang inalagi nila sa ospital.

"Tao pa kaya sya?"

-

"Come on, let's start the training" nakangising anyaya ni Tricia na mas lalong ikinakilabot ng mga ito.

"Primary Offenses get ready, kayo ang unang makikipag sparring kay Tricia at ang matitira ay tumakbo muna ng ilang laps sa kabuuan ng training hall" utos ni Azalea, sinunod naman ng ilan at naiwan sina Jaylou, Hostine, Johanne at Jigs. Napapalunok nalang ang apat.

"Johanne climb up the ring."

"Kung sinong unang mapapatumba lalabas na ng ring."

Kinakabahang sinunod ni Johanne ang utos. He's primary offense at bilis ang priotize nito. He's skilled in speed fight but he doesn't know that even the greatest ninjas who's fast and unimaginable can't surpass Tricia.

Tinaas naman ni Tricia ang dalawang kamay kapantay ng kanyang mukha. Just like in boxing but her face is showed. Bago pa sya masuntok ni Johanne ay mabilis syang umilag at sinipa ang gilid ng leeg ni Johanne. She did that in a swift second. (A/n: if you know 'Annie' In Attack on Titan she did this move when she's on her Titan form. )

She controlled the strength of her kick if not, Johanne will be on death bed.

Ngumiti sya at inalalayaang tumayo ang natumbang si Johanne. Nakangusong hinimas pa nito ang medyo nasaktang leeg.

"You're faster than me.." Nakangusong saad nito.

Tricia's POV

"You're faster than me.." Nakangusong saad ni Johanne.

"Speed and Strength are just part of an efficient fight but before you do those part see if your target has a blind spots. I saw an angle in your neck. You just use your speed hindi mo napansin na kitang kita ang blind spots mo. Better to be wise and think before you move" I lectured. Tumango tango sya, he get what I'm trying to say.

Lumabas na sya ng ring at sumunod naman na tinawag si Jigs. Ngingisi ngisi ang loko

"Ikaw ah.. May di kayo sinasabi sa'min ni hakob" pang aasar nito.

"Kung ano man yon sa'ming dalawa na lang yun" bumehlat pa ko at inayos na ang aking porma. He get ready too, ginaya niya ang porma ko kanina. As far as I know, he could copy any move in just a glance. I better be ready for the blow.

Ako ang unang umatake. I know what he's thinking. Ginaya ko rin ang ginawa ni Johanne na pagsuntok kanina at ng gagawin niya na ang move ay hindi ko na tinuloy ang pagsuntok at nakangising sinalo ang mabigat na sipa niya gamit ng braso ko saka sya sinuntok sa may bandang sikmura. He has toned abs and could tolerate the pain but he didn't expect na ang suntok ko sa sikmura niya at dumiretso papunta sa baba niya.

An uppercut.

Napaupo sya at napaaray ng kaunti.

"You okay? Copycat ka kasi" pang aasar ko at hinala ang kamay nito para tuluyan syang tumayo.

"I didn't expect that you could read what I'm thinking, lalo na yung sa uppercut. I didn't expect that you could do such a move."

"Well expect the unexpected"

Napapailing na bumaba sya ng ring. Sumundo si Hostine na namumutla. Problema nito? Parang di madumi ng tatlong linggo

"Magdadasal na ba ko?" He muttered. Ngumiti ako.

"Don't worry I'll take care of you" I gave him an angelic smile pero lalo syang namutla. May nakakatakot ba sa sinabi ko?

He sighed at pinorma na ang sarili. Ganun din ang ginawa ko, I softly stared at him. His eyes become serious. I blinked and as I expect..

He's already infront of me so I stepped forward and lean in. I grabbed his jaw and forcefully slam him in the floor. That wasn't strong so he still manage to stand up.

"You got me there.." He smiled at nakipagkamay pa sa'kin bago bumaba. Sumunod na si Jaylou na kanina pa blangko ang mukha.

"You okay?" I asked with a concern stare. Hindi sya sumagot at pumorma na. Kunot noong umayos na ko. I was about to get ready when he suddenly attack me with a strong blow on my stomach. I was taken a back. He's fast, fvck what's his problem?

Sinalag ko ang sumunod pang suntok niya ngunit di ko inaasahan na yuyuko sya at yayakapin ko. I gasped when he slam me on the floor.

He stared blankly at me. His eyes full of fondness and love changed into blank and distant.

Tinalikuran niya ko. Napatulala ako at napapatitig sa papalayo niyang pigura.

"Tricia!" Humahangos na tinalon ni Seniichi ang ring at agad na yumuko para pantayan ako.

"Anong nangyare? Ba't ginanon ka ni Jaylou?" Sunod sunod na tanong niya pero ni isa ay hindi ko nasagot. Kasi miski ako hindi ko alam, okay lang kami kanina..

Ilang araw palang kaming nagkakasama pero bakit biglang ganito?

"Are you hurt? Did your back hurt?"

I smiled on my bestfriend.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me" usal ko. I glance at my sister.

"Kayo na lang magtuloy wala na ko sa mood" usal ko at tumayo na. Pinagpagan ko ang damit ang blangko ang mukhang umalis sa training hall.

-

I went straight on my secret den. I sighed and lay my body on the grass. I'm confused, and Jaylou is confusing me.

His sudden change made me confuse..

Napatingin ako sa may maze at nakita ko si Jaylou na hingal na hingal. Parang tumakbo sya ng ilang milya. His eyes were back but because of what he did earlier. I don't even know what to say. I don't even know how to face him.

Inalis ko ang tingin sa kanya saka ako pumikit. Hindi ko pinansin ang presensya niya.

"W-wife" he stuttered. Naramdaman ko na hahawakan niya ko kaya't mabilis akong bumangon at tumayo. Umupo ako sa flower chair at walang emosyong tumingin sa tubig.

"Talk to me.. W-wag mo kong talikuran. I-i'll explain.. J-just talk to me"

Hindi parin ako nagsalita.

He was about to hold my hand nang malakas kong tapikin yon palayo sa'kin. I don't want to do that pero yung paraan ng pagtitig niya kanina ay pilit umuukilkil sa utak ko na nakakapagpalambot sa kalamnan ko.

"Wife.. Please"

Tiningnan ko na sya , just like how he stare at me earlier. I saw him gulped..

"Wag mo muna akong kausapin" malamig na saad ko.

"P-pero magpapa-

"Next time, I don't want to see you right now"

Jaylou's POV

"Next time, I don't want to see you right now" she said at hindi na muli akong tiningnan ako. I felt suffocated right now, I want to hug her to breath but she's cold and didn't even want me to explain my side.
