Today's match:

BENITORA THE SILHOUETTE VS. HAIL STRUM, GOD OF STORM

The Setting?

A Bath house outside Edo!

When will the battle start?

NOW!

Let the games begin!

Dusk is settling as the women of Osaka prepare for a nice, relaxing bath. Outside, a small group of travelers, consisting of a mean looking samurai, a petite (yet hot) young woman, and a man with a tiger patterned cap on come to a stop. The woman starts screaming at them.

"We've been on the road for nine days without a stop to rest! My clothes are filthy! I'm not going further until I get a decent bath!" Yuya was screaming this at the top of her lungs.

"Fine" Kyo said. "We can go on without you"

"Now wait a minute" Benitora interjected "We can let Yuya relax for a bit. We can continue later, anyway. Edo ain't goin' anywhere"

"Fine" Kyo said. He turns to Yuya "but this is the only bath you get for the rest of the trip"

"Yes!" Yuya exclaimed. She ran to the bath house. When she got there, she turned around and said "Thanks, Tora!"

"No, dear Yuya-han, thank you" Benitora said with a sly grin on his face.

"I'm going to look for the whorehouse" Kyo said after a couple minutes. He walked down the road away from the bath house.

"Yes!" Benitora exclaimed. "Now it's time to go ta' have some fun.

Benitora got a running start and leapt from the ground onto the roof of the bath house. He ran forward to the edge where the bath awaited below. He lay their for a while, on the woman's side, watching all the woman bathe. Then, when Yuya came out, it was like he was in a dream. Those silky curves, that creamy skin…

"Hey, whose the ugly chick! She's ruining this display of fine woman!"

It was just then that Tora realized that another perverted man was on the roof with him. He was a tall, Caucasian male in a white pimp suit, sans fur.

Tora was outraged at the newcomer's comment. "Now see here stranger, that fine woman you just so abrasively insulted is my true love"

"You got a funky taste in woman" Hail said with a smirk.

"That's it! I've had enough of you"

Benitora took out what looked like a dagger, and hit a switch on it. The dagger turned into a cross-hilt spear. He struck a pose with his spear facing down hoping to scare Hail off and away. Hail just smiled and backed away. Then, from seemingly nowhere, Hail pulls out Jade-colored staff. He grins and says "It seems we both had the same thing in mind. HAH!"

Hail charges Benitora and strikes down with his staff. Benitora sidesteps and swipes with his spear. It cuts Hail, but only lightly. Hail swings around with his staff and smashes Benitora in the back of the head, slamming him into the ground. Hail leaps into the air and comes down with the force of a 2-ton boulder. The roof of the Bath-House collapsed under the force, and they fell into the changing room.

The dust made from the collapse of the roof rendered Benitora blind. He tried finding Hail, but ended up smacking woman in the nude, who smacked him right back. When the dust cleared, Hail was standing at the ready. Benitora leapt at him, and they traded blows for several seconds when Hail gained the upper hand and sent Tora flying into the bath.

THE WINNAH!

Benitora was soaked coming out of the bath. He was mad at the man in white, but not nearly as mad as Yuya was at him for getting in the bath.

"You pervert!"

Yuya pulled out her trusty gun…

"Now wait just a second Yuya-Han! It's not my fault! It's the…" Benitora pointed at the ruin of the bath-house, expecting to see the man in white standing among the wreckage, but he was gone. "…the man. In. White?" He said weakly.

Benitora broke for it, with Yuya hard on his heels.

"Get back here Tora!"
