Chapter 14: Mrs. Chief

The next morning Callisto was working out for the upcoming battle.  She went through the normal thrusts and blows at the air.  Suddenly, her eyes lit up with the knowledge that there was someone watching her.  She spun around and shot a fireball out her sword.  The young man nimbly dodged the projectile, but she wasn't through with her attack.  She came running at him with insane speed and just before she could deliver the blow that would have killed him he snatched her sword away.  She was so shocked at the tactic she never blocked the knee to her stomach.  Callisto's eyes lit up with the fire that burned within her and she came at the man with a furry of short quick attacks, amazingly he blocked every one of them except for her final blow to his face.  He reeled back but something burned inside him as well.  He grabbed her hair and as he was about to ram his knee into her face when he stopped.
For the first time they looked at each other.  Her chocolate eyes met his and they stared at each other with a fascination that neither thought possible.  He loosened his grip on her hair and had his hands migrate to the sides of her chin.  Something stirred inside her that she thought she had lost a feeling of lust and pleasure.  He seemed to be the definition of purpose.  He smiled a kind smile at her. Something told her that this person would be different from most other people that seem to reek of hatred towards her.  He had perfect tan skin and muscles that rippled, but his hands were as soft as pillows coushening her chin.  His fingers made little circles massaging her jaw.  Her stomach churned he seemed to know just how to manipulate that area to make her feel weak enough to melt.
He let his left hand off of her jaw to feel her golden brilliance adorning her head.  He let his fingers move through them, jerking at all the knots that were there from years of misuse.  She suddenly felt ashamed that she was so imperfect but he smiled and took in the smell of her hair anyways.
In these few moments she felt that she could trust him enough to allow her guard down for a few moments and allow a kiss.  Her eyelids went heavy and she parted her lips... nothing happened.
He moved his lips toward her ear. She noticed a slight mechanical wheezing that was oddly familiar.
"Still think we're incompatible?"
Horror and betrayal swept through her like a great wave.  She knew the voice, it was U3.   Her eyes shot wide open, a scream ripped up within her, "DAMN YOU U3!!!“.
She slammed her fist into his face, he took the full force of the blow, which sent him several yards.  She had already caused more damage than she could ever deal with her fists, she had become angry with him.  He ran off ashamed of himself.
U3 got Callisto's mind to work though, could they really be compatible?  She quickly shook the thought from her mind.
"Absurd," She fought to control herself, and continued her workout.
