Passion Too Fight.
By: Ivory (Favine) Moore
"Ok fight fans we have a good one today, the match of the year. Winner will go on to fight in winter classics and hopefully by summer bring back the Shogun cup to our great school." Said the announcer, as the crowed roar with cheers. "All right fans looks like our two fighters are coming out of gates."
Every turned their attention to the middle of the stadium as the two fighters made the way to the center. "Will then let's introduce our fighters. First in the red and yellow padded chest armor and matching skirt, with knee high boots is the lovely Pandora." Pandora waved to the crowed as her name was called out.
"And in the black jean shorts, with green full body under armor, and green hoodie, the up and comer Favine." Favine throw his fist in the air, except for his pinky, middle finger, and thumb. The crowd yelled as they repeated the word JVP Exp over and over. Favine turned his gaze over to Pandora, but quickly looked to the ground. "Shit she's beautiful." Favine said as he strapped his blades to his forearms.
Pandora bumped him as she said. "So you really think I'm beautiful? Thank you." Favine looked at her as if he had just seen a ghost. "Did I say that out loud?" He said as he finished strapping on his blades. "Yes you did silly. But why be so shy?" She asked as she pulled her katana out and moved back a little. "I'm not shy… Just a little nerves that's all." As the last words came out of his mouth, the ref walked up and told them to take their places. "Later we can talk k Favine?" Pandora said as they shook hands. Favine nodded and they both walked to their starting spots.
As Favine took up his stance, he took a quick second too looked over the arena. It was mainly large rocks were placed all over; some stairs were placed off to the side. Favine made note to keep her from that area. Favine kicked at the ground, all dirt, he was not too worried he had fought in this arena a few times so he know the lay out and were he needed to be to pull off some of his special moves. "Well Fans looks like we're about to start this bad boy," The announcer said, as the ref hit the gong and started the fight.
Favine braced hard in his stance which cause him to sink a little in the ground, his great defense stance as some called it. Pandora did not waste a second and shoot of her spot at lightning speed, her katana moving even faster. Favine easily blocked her strikes with his blades, and lifting one foot out of the ground he slowly started to push her back. "Holy crap fans, he not even attacking and he's pushing her back." Favine smiled a little at the words and for a millisecond let his guard down, which was all the time Pandora needed to give a quick knee to the chest, sending Favine falling backwards. "Oh what a knee. Poor kid and was doing so great." Favine quickly realizing what happened held his hands open and using the forces of the fall shoot himself into the air. "Did you see that? Where did he go?" The announcer said.
Pandora looked to the spot where Favine pushed off from, and doing some quick math she back stepped two feet and held her sword over her head bracing it with both hands. Not only a second after she did it did Favine come shooting down right arm held out as there blades hit. For that split second there were faces to face, Favine seen the fight in her eyes. "Did I scare you?" Favine said as he wrapped his still falling legs around her waist and bending backwards placed his left hand on the ground and throw her across the arena. "What a move what a move." The announcer said as the arena busted with cheers.
Pandora was not down for too long and she came at Favine like at bat out of hell. She hit Favine with handle of her katana, and kicked him in the face. Favine spin from the force of the kick, and blocked a strike from her sword. "Favine I did not think you would give such a good fight. I'm getting turned on from the fact of it." Pandora said as she kicked away a punch from his left fist. "Um don't know what to say, thank you maybe. Never got a girl all hot and turned on from throwing her across an arena." Favine throw in a few more punches and knees as the two came together every so often to lock blades. "Will Favine I think I owe you something special after this fight, I'll pay it in full ok." She said as she pushed away from him, and doing a hand stand she pushed herself up onto his shoulders.
Favine was a little taken back by her last words, but he grabbed her waist and sitting down quickly he dropped her on her back, and rolled away. "Time to end this." Favine said as he did a few back flips and dug his feet into the ground. Standing there on all fours he waited for her to stand up. When she did, Favine shoot forward hitting her in the chest with both fists. "Fans we seen this before Favine is going for the win here." The crowd roared as the announcer spoke. With Pandora now standing the doubled over Favine hit her with a back flip kick which send her a few feet into the air. All the time Favine needed to jump up and force her back down with a double fist to chest. Pandora landed hard, and Favine moved into get the kill shoot.
'Hope I did not hit her to hard she may not want to talk to me after.' Favine ran these words over his mind and as he lifted her head and moved his left blade in for kill. The Ref stopped the fight and raised the red flag telling the fans that Pandora had won. "I win." Pandora said as he pushed the tip of her katana deeper into the soft flesh under his chin.
Favine smiled to her. "So you did." He wiped some blood from the corner of her mouth and helped her up. "Oh snap fans Pandora pulls off another win, and here you have it your school champion, the Lovely Pandora." The arena roared with cheers as roses fall to the ground. Pandora held her hand up, then grabbed Favine's and intertwined her fingers with his held his hand up to. "Favine I'll try and hurry this up, so please wait for me." Favine nodded his head left her standing there in the middle of the ring.
Back in the Changing room, after a shower and changing Favine looked at himself in the mirror. "I'm not a bad looking guy." He ran his fingers through his shoulder length black hair. "Crap I'm going to need to dye my hair for the show tomorrow." He places a hand on his cheek as he looks over his smooth light brown skin. Standing at 5' 10" he was lean yet a little built, and pretty flexible. He needed to be to pull off almost all his moves. "Yep a real sexy beast" He said as he heard a small giggle come from behind him. "That you are." Favine turned to see Pandora standing in the door way. A little embarrassed Favine heads over to the bench were his stuff was and puts his shoes on. "So if you're sexy beast then what am I?" She said as she looked in the same mirror. Favine looked up at her still not talking and for the first time did he see her true beauty. They were around the same height; he may have been an inch taller. Her hair was at back length and blue down to the roots, which made her toasted honey colored skin kind of glow. "You're the goddess of sexy." The words seemed to slip from his mouth before he could stop it.
"Um I mean…" But before he could fix what he said Pandora had quickly moved next to him, starring deep into his eyes. For a few minutes they sat there her sunset yellow eyes gazing into his eyes. "Favine you know your eyes change colors? I seen it when we talked in the area but I thought it was my mind. But here I am and they have gone from green to blue to a clear." As she spoke Favine darted his eyes from side to side. "Um yea it's a birth thing, get it from my dad." As he spoke Pandora had quickly dropped her gaze to his mouth, and with her left hand she lifted the right corner of his mouth. "Favine your K-9 teeth are a little longer than normal. Could you be a werewolf?" She smiled at him as she removed her hand.
"Again that is a family thing, this time from my mom." He looked away from her to finish tying his shoes. "Was there something you wanted to talk about?" He said looking back up at her. "Oh yea my I see your blades?" She pointed to his bag. "Yea be my guest." Favine said handing her one of the blades. Pandora ran a finger down the side of blade and was surprised to see that there was not a scratch on it; well her katana was now useless cause of the damage to the blade.
"Favine these blades, they would not happen to be made of Kojoedyn-Z?" Favine nodded his head. "So this is Kojoedyn-Z" Favine nodded again. Pandora's eyes grow wide as she looked at the blades. "Favine only one person in the worlds uses this metal." She looked up at him. "The great blacksmith Tomasz and I hear it's near to impossible to reach him unless you're the Shogun himself." She sends a drilling death gaze to Favine. "How did you find him?"
Favine took a deep breath. "Well your right one of the two. The blades are pure Kojoedyn-Z or KJZ for short. Tomasz if that's what he's going by these days, did not make these blades, I did. And I did not find him my mom did about 30 years ago, he's my dad and his real name is Ivory Moore." Favine finished tying his shoes and looked up to Pandora, who looked like a deer in the head lights. "Your dad and, and you made these? The work it's just as good as his, if not better." She kept looking between Favine and the blade in her hand. "Do you think you can make me a new katana? Mine is trash after going head to head with you." She moved herself closer to Favine and for the first time Favine could smell the scent of strawberries on her.
"Um…" Favine started to say before she busted in. "I'll pay full price and even help you need me to." She was now half an inch from him face, her body pushed against his, slowly pushing him down on to the bench. Favine swallowed hard as he looked to the girl now hovering over him. "OK." A smile came to Pandora's face as she closed the little but of space between them and kissed him, interlacing her fingers with his. When they parted Favine just laid there back on the bench, as Pandora smiled at him, brushing her hair back over her shoulder. "Oh I'm so sorry for just kissing you out of nowhere like that." Pandora bit her lower lip as she starting to blush. "I just seem to be oddly pulled toward you." She took her hands out of his. "Um so yea just call me when you're ready to start." Pandora got up and as quickly as she could she rushed out of the room.
Favine was still taken back by the kiss had no idea she had left. "Um… Wait I don't know your…" Favine closed his mouth as he opened his left hand and looked at the piece of paper in it. Favine opened it up. 'Favine my number and new room number. Moving in today, come by tonight, and take me to dinner.' Favine looked at it for a few minutes before putting the number in cell phone. "Must have wanted to give this to me from the start." Favine kissed his blades as he packing the rest of his things and left.
