ARGYL'S POV.

I walked downstairs once I was done to our fight room.

Ken was already there throwing punches on the bag.

He didn't stop even if he realised I was there.

I tied my hair in a bun tightly and walked to him, starting with my daily warm up.

The day passed with our usual practices. Both of us tired to no end at the end of the day. Pain surfacing in my body numbing all my thoughts.

That was the thing about pain. It makes you feel alive and numb at the same time.

Breathing heavily I fell on the ground as Ken's kick landed on my stomach.

My whole body going numb. Senses alarmed. The pain shooting through it was enough to make me forget whatever I had in my mind.

The darkness trying to take me over.

But not yet bitch.

We had fight on the day after. Ken offered me his hand and pulled me up on my feet.

I smacked a punch in his direction gaining my balance and he stopped me holding my fist.

His hands held my shoulder looking into my eyes.

Sweat drops running down his face and his forehead had a sharp cut, blood lining it.

"What is it?" He asked.

I looked at him dumbly.

"Ara. I know when something is up. I know how you fight. I know when your aggressive nature is on it's top. What is it?" He asked again.

I shook my head.

May be he had been right. I was overly aggressive today. I had no control on my moves and was making no efforts to go easy on him or trying not to hurt myself. I wanted to feel the pain. I wanted to go to emotionless self. Who didn't want to feel any emotion. Who was fine being alone.

But it was like trying to get myself out of darkness.

He was my darkness.

"Ara. I am just not your fighting partner you know that?" He asked.

I looked at him.

"Fuck! I never gonna admit I ever said this too you Argyl, but I care for you. You are like my sister." He said and a small smile made it's way on my face.

So, the heartless and 'I am tougher than Damion' Kenneth Champan cared?

"Is it him? Did he do something?" He asked.

I didn't speak anything.

"Speak Argyl." Ken said.

"You will say he is right." I said in a low voice.

Ken smiled a pale smile.

"That is because he is hardly wrong. He must have done it for a reason." Ken relied.

"See!" I pointed out, "You don't even know anything and you are taking his side!" I accused him.

He sighed.

"Tell me Ara." He said again.

"It is Leo." I replied watching his face go pale.

"He is not safe." I said looking at him.

His face turned void of any emotions. I knew what his next words were going to be.

"Damion is right with whatever he is doing. He can't go wrong." He said and I passed him a death glare.

"You don't know anything Ara." He stated.

"Yeah of course and you guys don't feel the need to tell me." I snapped in a angry tone.

"You know what Kenneth? Let's just get back to practicing. I don't want to argue over this again." I said moving my eyes from him.

He sighed as we again took our stance.

He didn't want me to know. I wasn't gonna ask his men to tell me. It was his place. I didn't even want to think about him. I couldn't believe we had an argument over this. I just wanted to know where my friend was and he was refusing to tell me saying he didn't like me caring about other men?

He was acting like a possessive caveman he is. Just because I care for Leo doesn't mean he would send him somewhere Leo was not safe. Only because he got bad vibes from him?

I had trusted Damion every time without asking him a word. Without a single question I had understood him.

But what he was doing??

The anger in me surfaced again.

Or may be it never died down. My patience were hanging on very low thread and I drowned myself in the fight with Ken.

My anger coming out through my each punch an kick. My nerves wanted violence. The only thing that could keep me sane at that point of time. I wanted to fight.

Blocking out all the thoughts in my mind, I let my nerves loose.

Feeling the pain. Embracing the instincts I attacked Ken making him fall on the ground with a loud wince. His wince and pained screams were like music. They were calming me. I wanted to let myself loose. Feel the pain.

This continued for hours. I didn't want to stop. My body paining but I wasn't planning on resting. The anger had not died down and I wanted take all of it out of my system.

We heard footsteps behind us and Ken stopped glancing at the door to see who it was.

I didn't want to look back cause I knew it wasn't him. I didn't feel him. This was the time when he used to come down asking us to stop practicing. But he didn't today. I don't know if that disappointed me or relieved me to some extent.

"Rey has called you up Kenneth. He would be working tonight. He told me to let you know Ara." I heard Will's voice and Ken glanced at me.

I kept my face emotionless sadness flooding through me. I didn't want to feel this. I didn't want to feel disappointed when he decided not to come down. When he didn't came to ask us to stop.

I never wanted to feel anything.

I told you so Ara. You let him in!

My mind mocked me and that broke me further more. I clenched my fists tight my nails digging into my skin. I closed my eyes trying to block out all the emotions.

No emotions if you want to win.

My own voice resonated through my mind.

Damion made me feel this all. He made me feel the emotions. I let him in and he was breaking me just like everyone else did.

He didn't show up today and he knew that would affect me way more than it should.

This was our time. This was the only time I got to spend with him. He had decided to work whole night?

Then let it be.

I was equally stubborn.

I decided what I had to do.

I turned back nodding at Will.

"Come back down as you are done Ken. I am right here." I told him in the most steady voice I could get out that moment.

Ken studied me for a moment. His eyes giving me This is not good look. But I ignored diverting my mind back to the punching bag in front of me.

I heard him leave as I started landing punched on the bag with all the power I had. My mind was a mess. His this behaviour had caused a storm in my head. I wanted to scream. I wanted to cry. To hit someone.

My emotions were out of my control. It had affected me more than it should. He had conveyed through his action that he didn't want to see me tonight. He didn't want to stand my presence.

Over just a small argument. He had managed to hurt me deeply.

Hey Marshmallows!

Here you go with another chapter.

Ara misunderstanding him. But you can not blame her as well. She has never questioned him before. He should have thought before acting.

What you think is going on?

Damion and Ara fighting again? Well their fight never really resolved.

What you think about this one?
