makes a split opening my opponent ’s arrow.  I tremble at the thought of pegging my target with the sharpest pebble in the sack gouging out marks of the targets predecessors.”  Then she asked herself a very important question that I personally would love the answer too, What was with this boy?  He gets me so mad.  Pushes all my buttons.
    “ Well,” I pushed against her finger, “I can see perhaps I have met my match.”  After all, she was quite the ninja princess as a young child and the skill had only developed.
    “Not hardly. ”  She curled her brows up and drew in her lips.  When she zeroed in on my eyes, I caught a spark in them.  I wondered then which way that spark went.  Me or the chance at the weapons.     
    There are lights in here, right?
    “Only to block the sunlight.”  I bent to pick up the weapons I had left out from cleaning the steel yesterday.  Her mind told me exactly what she was eyeing on my backside and she hated herself for it.  I didn’t. 
    Try blocking!  She wasn’t happy I knew any of this. 
    Blocking!  Blocking!  Blocking!
    I chortled at her useless efforts and tried to ease the strangeness in the air by readying the room for her.  It worked for her for the moment, at least. 
    I could get lost in here and never leave . 
    “You ’d get hungry.”
    “But I ’d die happy.”
    “Would you?” I challenged her happiness.
    “What would you know about my happiness in life?  I don’t know any other life.”
    “Maybe I know more than you give me credit.  However, I don’t see me convincing you of much, Kissa.  Your tough exterior does not match the inside.  You should let others see your light more.  It shines brighter than most would guess.”
    “And I suppose you have seen a lot of lights in your time.  Conquered many?” 
    She must like me if she is jealous of the unknown.
    I solidified the hold on the knives in both my hands, “No, no lights in my eternal darkness.  You are the first and only sun in my sky.”  I mumbled the final words hoping for her to catch them and also not.  I was such a sissy. 
    I moved on to easier things to talk about as I opened the top drawer to the small kitchen area and yanked out a bar of chocolate, “You have chocolate!” 
    How did you know?
    I shrugged off the happy note of her shocked face, her face paling more than usual but more from anger she held back.  I hoped that she did this because it was me.  I would hate to be on the receiving end of her real anger. 
    She kept chocolate in her bedroom (not that I had been there), her weapons room, her tutoring room, and everywhere in between.  Szar questioned my asking him.
    Her own excitement picked up as she neared the target for her knives, her hand in a spasm.  Maybe it was the still there anger.  She was good no doubt, but what about with distractions.  I watched her throw two of them dead on.  Her own, not the ones I had laid out for her. 
    “What ’s next?”  Her inner ninja was feeling arrogant.  She was better than that even.
    “Again!” 
    “Why?”
    “All of them.”  I hadn’ t meant to look at her shirt, but I knew what awaited there.  It made my body twitch with knowing she might pull the rest out now...in front of me.  When her shirt lifted for the two knives she had just thrown I couldn't help but have a fantasy of my own.  And now...she would wonder how I knew.
    Stuck in my fantasy, I realized a second after the fact that she was headed over to retrieve her two knives she had just thrown.  Using vampiric speed had its advantages.  She didn ’t stop herself to use me as a crutch and I didn’t bother to deter her. 
    “Whoa, Superman!”
    “It comes in handy with opening the doors of higher ups, being a gentlemen, and getting chocolate for certain individuals who require it for their heightened adrenaline rushes.”
    Higher ups.  Harrumph! “Whose house is this?”
    I ignored my own folly and her question.  That would
