A/N: Greetings, fellow readers and writers. Wow, it has been a while, hasn't it? Sorry about what happened, but I was having writer's block. However, I have been working on this new entry based on some of the famous woman fighters in one of the most popular video games, and it's very ambitious. So, here … we … go:

The dojo was very empty except for Kasumi Todoh and Yuri Sakazaki. They were finishing calisthenics and stretching. Yuri was prepped and ready, beginning her training with one of the members of the Women's Fighters team; especially if it was her newest member, Kasumi.

"So, Kasumi," Yuri asked. "Aren't you glad that you have become a member of my Fighters team?"

"Yes, I am," Kasumi replied. She was too ready and smiling. "Alright, then," said Yuri. "Let's get to work."

"Just a moment," exclaimed Kasumi. Yuri stopped at first, puzzled and fuming. She wanted to train anyway. All of a sudden, Kasumi lowered her headband over her eyes, and then took a fighting stance.

Yuri thought "Wait, is she fighting blindfolded?" Then she shook her body and thought "Well, it's her funeral."

Yuri made the first strike, and then… Kasumi went past it. Shocked, Yuri shouted, "How did you do that?"

Kasumi replied, "I can sense your aura." Scowled, Yuri did another move and then, Kasumi threw Yuri on the floor with her aikido.

After a few moves, Yuri grew tired while Kasumi didn't break a sweat, still smiling while blindfolded.

"How can I stop her when she can sense my aura?" Yuri thought. Then, she quickly realized what to do to defeat her opponent.

Standing patiently, she lowered her red headband and took a stance. Both waited for each other to make a single move. Then, Yuri and Kasumi attacked each other and Yuri threw Kasumi on the floor this time.

"You learned so quickly," Kasumi chuckled. "I'm a good guesser," Yuri laughed and grabbed her hand to pick Kasumi up.

"Say," Yuri questioned. "When we show this to Ryo and the others, do you think they will do the same thing we did?"

"They might," Kasumi answered. "If they can figure it out before we give them painful backs."

Both chuckled and went on to continue their training.
