Irmina groaned in pain as she got up from her bed. Thanks to being at another near-death experience, her body had subsided to the normal healing rate of a human being as her serum worked to keep her alive.

"Schlampe," Irmina sighed [Bitch in German], removing her shirt. Irmina has a habit of waking up before anyone does, so right about now it is four in the morning. Irmina rummaged through her cabinets and drawers for bandages, usually, everything is stocked up, ready for Irmina when she comes home. After she had everything on the counter, she went for a cold shower.

"Honestly, I've suffered worse," Irmina muttered to herself, wrapping the bandage around her thigh. Irmina sighed as she tried her best with the wounds on her back with limited mobility, thanks to the injuries. Akiko, her cat, got on her thigh after hearing her whimpering. "Ohayo Akiko." And Irmina received a meow, following purring as the cat snuggled against her stomach, causing her to chuckle at the ticklish feeling. "Okay let's have some breakfast."

Meow. That was all she heard from the silent morning.

"Let me put on some clothes first."

Irmina sighed as she scooped up her small creature and placed it on her shoulder. The cat seemed to like to snuggle into her neck like a certain Aki back in the forties. She had accepted that whatever the universe still had for her, Akiko is Aki's reincarnation.

Irmina decided on a more western breakfast of waffles and whatever she can find in the fridge. She contemplated calling up Sato for her to come over early. Maki's and Sato's students would be coming over to the Mansion for a joint training session.

"Let's not act on another bad idea, Irmina." She chuckled to herself before placing Akiko on the floor but she just kept on climbing and clinging to her Hakama (skirt-like divided trousers). Irmina scoffed as she let the cat be and made herself some breakfast.

After Breakfast, she headed for Kyudo Hall and got everything prepared for her niece and the students. A few of the house staff would be joining her to do their duties but also to help Irmina out. Since she's injured and all.

"Ohayo King-sama." The staff greeted her as he handed a bow to Irmina and received a frown. He widened his eyes and took back the bow, apologising a million times. Everyone knows that the Bushidas are very picky with their bows and Irmina might have passed down that trait to younger generations. Irmina chuckled and thanked him for her bow as he carefully passed her arrows.

Maki brought her students into the Mansion as she waited for Sato's students. The two joked about how unbelievable the situation was. Two rival schools are going to be training together for the weekend. Maki teased Sato about Irmina. Irmina technically convinced them both without even doing anything.

For Sato, it was an excuse to see Irmina again.

"You kids stay here and wait for her students. Eat some breakfast." Maki said as she gestured for Sato to follow. The two coaches headed for the training hall as they decided to catch up with one another. 

They were rivals since elementary school. 

"You know I was mesmerised the first time when I saw her shoot," Sato chuckled while Maki's lips tugged into a smirk, eyebrow raised and spared a glance at Sato. The two stopped in their tracks when they heard the beautiful sound of the arrow being released. Both watched in adoration and mesmerisation as Irmina perfectly did the eight shooting steps. 

The perfect draw creates the perfect shot. 

"I still am mesmerised."

"So am I." 

They watched as a small, soft yet proud smile formed on Irmina's face. Irmina turned her head to look that two, blinded by the art she created and her beauty itself. 

"Ohayo." Irmina grinned as she waved at the two. 

"Ohayo." They returned the greeting, one with a smile and the other with a grin, and entered the dojo. 

When Irmina wanted to retrieve her arrows, the house staff that was with her, was already on his way. Irmina sighed and shook her head before unconsciously kissed onto Sato's hair. Maki held back her smile after noticing her rival become as red as a tomato. Irmina placed a kiss on Maki's forehead, knowing that she loved it more than any other affection she received from the German. 

"Obasan, I think you broke Sato-san." Maki chuckled as Sato whipped her head to the Bushida, forming incoherent sentences. Irmina with raised eyebrows and concerned eyes was confused about what she did. 

"I'm fine," Sato choked out as she took off her sweatshirt. Irmina held on to her shirt as she removed her sweatshirt. Maki giggled as she fixed her uniform while Irmina help her to braid her hair. Sato head for the changing room with her bag after placing her bow neatly by Irmina's. 

"Have you eaten?" Irmina asked, finishing up the braid. Maki hummed and nodded in response before thanking her aunt and having a test run with her bow. "Raise your elbow."

"Gomen." Maki sighed, refocusing on her aim. Sato returned to the Dojo and felt the tension in the air. 

"Don't forget to breathe." Irmina reminded, with strictness lacing her tone while Sato starts to prep her bow. Irmina König is very strict with her teachings. She wants whoever she was teaching to be either perfect or better than her. 

Taking the student becomes the master to another level.

"What the hell happen?" Sato whispered in disbelief as Irmina took off her shirt. She gave an the coach awkward smile before rummaging through the cabinets and drawers for bandages. Sato groaned in annoyance and pushed for Irmina to sit down on the bed. Before Irmina could stand up and argue, Sato jabbed into the wound on her thigh. "Sit and let me take care of you. Tell me what happens."

"Do you?" Irmina teased before receiving another jab to the wound on her hip. "On a mission recently." 

"Yeah, Maki-san told me," Sato said as she unwrapped the bandage around her thigh, looking up and glancing at the blue eyes. 

".9 mm. I directed the gun from Hill and down to the floor but managed to shoot before I could kill him."

"This one?" Sato pointed at her hip.

"Are you going to ask about every wound and scar you find?"

"Yes." 

"Knife, French soldier. Invasion of Paris." Sato's hands paused for a quick second before tracing the scar and moved on to change the bandage right above it. "What is it with you? How is it possible you're the few people that I can spill everything?"

"Sorry?"

"I don't just sleep with people naked. I just get what I need and go but you, you're the first I stayed with." Irmina stated as she gripped Sato's chin, making her look up. The deep blue eyes flitted between the dark brown eyes. Irmina's thumb caressed her bottom lip before slipping past those perfect lips. "Are you willing for a quick fuck?" 

Sato's eyes fluttered shut before she suck onto Irmina's thumb. They both knew it was a bad idea, especially when her students are waiting for them both to return. 

It would get very suspicious. And a few of her students knew about Sato liking women.

"Bad idea," Sato mumbled, barely coherent since Irmina still had her thumb in her mouth, massaging her tongue. Irmina hummed and nodded in agreement before smashing their lips together. The Japanese melted into the kiss, careful that her hands doesn't land on her injured parts. "King-sama, I promise you can use me later. But please, let me help you with the change first."

"Boring."

"I'm sorry."

"What took you so long?" Maki teased, folding her arms with her bow, and leaning on her chest. Some of Sato's students side-eyed the two that had just entered the Dojo. They had grins of amusement on their faces. 

"Nothing dirty," Irmina huffed, rolling her eyes before Sato turns her head away, shyly as she fixed on her top. Irmina swatted them away and gave her a look. It would only make it more suspicious. "She said no."

"It was a terrible idea," Sato muttered, loud enough for the two to hear. Irmina just shrugged as she made her way to one of the students, helping him with his technique. She made sure she had his permission to touch before pushing his elbow up and poking between his shoulder blades, making it straight. "She's gentle."

"To the high school kids, yes. To us, no." Maki said before smirking at the double meaning of the comment which Sato didn't catch on to. They both turn their heads to their prodigies after hearing shot after shot. Irmina picked it up too but she focused on the student before her. "Child prodigies."

"We were once too and so was your brother." 

"He is still a prodigy. Did you know how many clubs and universities were scouting him?"

"If I remember correctly, you had the same fame. So did I. Actually your entire family did. But we both chose this path after we graduated from university. And your siblings well, have great careers."

"Lesser stress, great pay and more relaxed." Maki listed as she turned her attention to Irmina who had moved on to another student, tweaking her technique slightly. She received a scoff from another student who was watching from the sideline. "Oh no." 

"That was a bad move isn't it?" 

"King-sama is the best teacher for Kyudo in the entire world. Especially when she learned the art from my grandfather." Sato looked at Irmina then back at Maki, in disbelief. As everyone knows about the martial art and the Great Bushida, he doesn't take in students unless it was his children. "Oh yeah. Then she taught us with my father." 

"Behave." Sato voiced as she glared at her student. 

"There's nothing wrong with our technique and she's correcting them for no reason." One of the students voiced out causing Maki to scoff. Her student is daring. Irmina turned to the student with raised eyebrows before turning to Maki, telling her she got it. 

"Aizawa-kun, right?" The student nodded. "Did you feel like it was easier to turn your bow after your release?" He nodded and Irmina turned around to face another student. "Tanaka-kun? Was it easier for you to draw your arrow?" She received a nod. "Every technique is never perfect. Those two prodigies over there, their techniques are almost perfect. Every archer will need to adjust a little over time to be the best. Your teacher has a bad habit of not breathing when she draws and her elbow is always not raised properly."

The students that were shooting were told by their coaches to take a break and hydrate themselves. Maki passed Irmina her bow and two arrows. 

"I will show you my technique. I've been told it was the best. Perfect." Irmina grinned while Maki and Sato nodded in agreement. Some of the students didn't have the chance to Irmina shoot during the Championship because they were either late or didn't have to present on the first day. The two coaches will have to reprimand their students later on. Not only they were rude but they didn't respect Irmina enough because she was a foreigner.

Irmina took her step and stationed herself properly as she took a deep breath, drawing her bow. She took her time and still take note of the time limit, controlled her breathing and her eyes were perfectly on target. 

Now, the students that were questioning her capabilities as a teacher and an archer had been answered. 

Irmina was as perfect as she ever was in the 40s. 

As she released, a magnificent sound was made. And everyone was mesmerised again. Irmina did it again another time, showing how consistent she is. 

"Now that is a technique that didn't need any changes," Irmina commented, resting her bow by her hip. Maki smiled to herself while Sato looked at her with adoration. "Now, Maki, Sato-san, let's show your students how you shoot." 

Maki and Sato looked at one another before sighing in defeat as their students fixed their targets. There's no point arguing with the German, she could always change their minds with a little bit of charm here and there. The two took their positions as Irmina stood back a little, between the two of them. 

"Don't forget to breathe." Irmina directed towards Maki who gulped slightly as she did the steps with Sato. "Sato-san, relax your shoulders." Sato glanced at her a little bit before exhaling slowly. Irmina could see a brunette and a redhead standing at the entrance, watching. she couldn't make it out if they were watching her or the two teachers or all of them. The two released their arrows, perfectly in unison. Irmina smiled proudly at her niece and was impressed with Sato. She still had her skills. "You practice often?"

"After work," Sato said, shrugging her shoulders. 

"King, we need you." Maria voiced and getting everyone's attention.

"Need me?" Irmina teased, cocking her head and one eyebrow raised. The two agents rolled their eyes in annoyance. 

"Shut up," Natasha expressed and gestured for her to follow. Irmina scoffed and patted Maki's and Sato's shoulders before excusing herself. "Have you changed?"

"Yeah, and what's up?"

"Paperwork," Maria answered and Irmina groaned in return. The General hated paperwork ever since she had to do it in World War Two.  

Oh yeah, she had to do a lot of paperwork in the War, believe it or not.
