"About what love?"She asked,rubbing his cheek with her thumb.

~

Maru smirked."Awesome job Alex.Eric you make a hell of a teacher"He said.

Alex beamed, "Was i that good?" He asked. "Thanks but.... its all Alex. And you were outstanding Alex." Eric said to him. 

-

"Me." James said. 

"Why are you thinking about you?"She asked,curously."Sorry.I'm just curious"she said.

~

Maru smiled.

"I'm thinking about... How am I going to protect you?..." James said soberly. 

"Now..." Eric said, picking up all of the kunai and forcing the rest of them out of the trees and Alex had hit. "Now what?" Alex asked, feeling pretty good about himself now. "What do you think aboout dodging a few?" Eric asked, flipping one of the kunai and catching it by the tip. "Yeah!" Alex said, a certain spark in his eyes.

-

"Anyway possible." James answered.  

Maru growled quietly.

~

"No wonder I love you"she smiled,kissing him,pas,sionately.

"What?" Alex asked. Eric put all of the kunai away. 

--

James kissed her back, meaning what he had said.  

"Nothing"He lied.

~

Tsumai smiled and put her forehead against his.

"Nevermind." Eric said, "You're not ready." he told Alex. Alex frowned, "What? No! I'm ready!" Alex argued. "No. You're not." Eric said calmly. "Why?!" "Because you can't control your anger." Eric said calmly, leaning against the tree that was behind him. "Well, you don't know unless you find out." Eric took a kunai out of his pouch and threw it at Alex, Alex hear it coming, felt it even but he couldn't move.

The kunai came dangerously close to his face and stopped a split second before it made contact with his face. Alex's breathing was ragged as the kunai fell to the ground. It had been attached to a wire so Eric could stop it. "You're not ready." Eric repeated.

-

James smiled warmly at her.  

Maru walked over to Alex and smirked,picking him up.

~

Tsumai smiled and hugged him close.

"Hey!" Alex gasped, "P-put me down Maru..." Alex said awkwardly.

-

"I love you Tsumai." James murmured lovingly. 

"Anything for you"Maru said,putting him down.

~

"I love you too James"she whispered,lovinly.

Eric jerked the kunai back to him, cut the string and out the kunai in his pouch. I'm being cruel... he thought mad at himself. "If you still want to go through with this... we'll continue tomorrow." He said, disappearing in a cloud of smoke.

Alex looked down at the ground, depressed, clinching his teeth. "Damn it! I'm getting nowhere!" Alex said to himself before teleporting himself back to the apartment. Luckily he landed himself in the bedroom, he put his hands out so that he could feel the bed if he came close enough. His fingers grazed the sheets and he sat on the edge on the bed and kicked off his shoes and pulled off his shirt. He then proceeded to bury himself underneath the thick blankets and sheets.

"Mmm..." He purred, stretching out and pulling the pillows under the blankets with him. he closed his eyes and smiled, enjoying the feel of the fabric on his bare skin. i just gotta relax... He told himself. But he was so excited after the training he just wanted to do more, or something else exciting like that.

(( He's well muscled but lean XD Didn't know how to add that in lol )) 

"Yeah... I'm good." Alex sighed, making more room for Maru under the blankets with him. 

"Yeah I'm fine"Maru said,kissing his cheek.

~

Tsumai smiled and giggled."I think the brothers are home"she whispered.

"Sounds like it." James replied.

-

A tingles ran up Alex's spine. "Good."
