What girl?

..."What girl?!"...

..."I already told you about this..."...

..."You retired and I took over you spot as the First Commander and I am stationed in Qiang Xu. You never told me though that one of my soldiers is a girl!"...

..."She's talented..."...

..."And only 18 years old!"...

..."You're only a year older, so don't be a Mysognist* and do your job!"...

*Misogynist \= someone who is against woman

..."I have to go now. Bye."...

First Commander Leng exited his room and went to the soldiers department where the soldiers had their rooms. This girl had her own room, since it would be unfair to her to sleep with the other men. It was 4 o'clock in the morning, the old First Commander had called from America, it was just getting dark there. Leng wanted to wake the soldiers at 6, to see if they could handle a lack of sleep, but if he thought about it, he would do it at 5.

Soldier Shadow was long awake and already outside. She was the only woman in the whole Military Encampment in Xiang Xu, but she was stronger than most men and trained double as much. She didn't talk a lot and was known as coldhearted because she already broke many of the other soldiers hearts while telling them she didn't want to go on a date with them. Most of them didn't even know her name, most of them just called her "9". No one was allowed to enter her room, no one knew that she was also skilled in making poisons and using them. She didn't sleep that much either, her weekly plan was easy to remember: no sleep on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. On the other days she got up at 3 o'clock and went to bed at midnight. Meanwhile she got used to it and wasn't sleepy at all. In the moment she was training her Kung Fu, she already had the highest belt in almost all Zmartial arts, but she wanted to get better.

5 o'clock -1 hour later

..."Soldiers, get up!"...

..."First Co...commander Le...Leng?"...

..."But it's only 5 o'clock?!""...

..."Exactly! Way too late!"...

......"Can someone go get that girl?"......

..."Well... we aren't allowed to enter her room... no one is."...

..."What? Well I'll go get her then."...

First Commander Leng went down the hall to the girls room. Ironically it was room number 9. He knocked at her door, but after no one answer, he opened it and turnd on the light. In the first room, there were many daggers and all kinds of weapons everywhere. In a cupboard, he saw lots of bottles with colorfull fluids in them. Everything was neatly placed and all the weapons were organized. He quietly walked through the room. Preparing himself to see a sleeping girl in the next one but when he entered, there was only a kingsized bed , that looked like no one had ever used it before.

..."Who entered my room?"...

An angry voice yelled from the hallway.

..."9, don't..."...

All of a sudden someone kicked him from behind and he fell on his knees, before he could react, someone held one of the daggers he had seen in the first room at his throat. It slightly dug into his skin and blood started dripping diwn his neck.

..."Haven't you ever heard the rule: stay out of the girl's room?"...

A voice hissed into his ear.

..."I didn't know it, I'm First Commander Leng, I've just arrived half a week ago."...

He answered trying to stay calm. He hoped the person attacking him would immediatly pull away the dagger, apologize and plead for forgiveness, but nothing happened.

..."Then remember it, I'm not willing to kill you."...

Then the dagger was pulled away and he stood up quickly. As he turned around, his attacker was no longer there, he only saw her long black hair disappearing in the entrance. First Commander Leng halfway staggered, halfway walked out the door and closed it behing himself. The other soldiers noticed the blood on his neck and reached him a handkerchief. Many of them remained silent and looked to the ground, obviously scared of what 2ould come next. Finally Soldier Tang spoke up.

..."Will 9 be punished?"...

Soldier Tamg was a rich guy in his midtwentys, who was also rejected by Shadow, so he wanted to see her be hurt.

..."Will you please stop calling her 9?"...

..."Well... we don't know her real name, we never asked."...

First Commander Leng could have slapped them, didn't they already train together since 4 years? They should know her name by now.

"Its hard to tell who you mean, just use her real name, would you?"

..."And I don't know yet, I'll see what I'll do about her.... SO STOP TALKING AND GO RUN SOME LAPS SOLDIERS!"...

..."Yes, First Commander Leng!"...

While the Soldiers were running 100 laps around the encampment, which tthey would never achieve because that would be 200 kilometers, Leng went to search for Shadow. He wanted to teach her a lesson for threatening him. When he finally found her she was training Jiu Jitsu, her specialty. She didn't see him at first and he yelled.

..."9, the others are running 100 laps would you please do the same?!"...

She stopped with her foot midair and didn't move for a while then she walked torwards him and saluted.

..."Sir, should I run 200 laps then?"...

..."Why?"...

..."That's what the old First Commander did, I always had to run double."...

..."I'm not expecting them to even make it how should you do double?! You would die trying it!"...

She stared at him emotionlessly and then jogged past him. He clenched his fists and walked away, this girl was already annoying the sh*t out of him and they had only talked twice!
