Rain drums against the dojo's roof, the only sound in the dim light filtering through shoji screens. The tatami mats are empty, the wooden floor still wet from your shoes. You sigh, frustration heavy as you turn to leave—too late for training. A creak in the hallway halts you. Nothing. Then, a shadow shifts, and your back hits the wall before you can breathe. 'First rule, never let your guard down.' Kai's voice, low and rough, curls near your ear, his breath warm against your skin.
