In an attempt to get closer to the Ruff, Kimiko decided to ask for a dance. Brick agreed and the two made their way onto the dance floor. They dance for a moment and when the song stopped, Brick looked down at her and grinned.
"You're a good dancer, babe."
Kimiko sneered at the inconsiderable pet name the redhead gave her.
"Don't call me that…" she whispered darkly.
"And why not?" he asked. "I said that to all my little lady friends…"
She clenched her fist and glared at the teen. "I am not your little lady friend!"
She was ordered to not cause any disturbances and to retrieve the Wu discreetly, but she couldn't stand talking to this moron any longer. She decided to drop the whole 'act nicely' plan and to get the Wu her way. The harsh direct way.
"Okay, let's cut the crap, give me the Wu, you jerk!" she yelled.
Brick smiled and pulled out a star-shaped object from his pocket. "You mean this thing?"
"The Star of Hanabi…" she whispered. "So he did steal it…"
"Yeah, now give it here!" she continued to yell at him.
Brick stared at her. "So I assuming that you're gonna try to take it from me. Am I right?"
"Yeah, I am!"
He chuckled. "Oh really? You and what army?"
Kimiko grinned. "I was hoping you'll say that. You underestimated me, Rowdyruff."
She quickly spun around and a blaze of hot fire appeared at her feet, and continued to wrap around her body until she was completely surrounded by it. Then, with a snap of her fingers, the flames disappeared.
Brick remained silent for a moment and chuckled again. "Your little light show doesn't scare me, babe…"
He let out his hand and a medium sized flame appeared from it.
"You're the only one who's bringing the heat…" he said with an evil grin.
Kimiko took a step back.
iSo he can control fire too? /iShe thought. iCrap, I wish I would've knew that earlier… now this is gonna be tricky…/i
But this didn't affect her much. She was always up for a challenge, and fighting someone with her element was a big one. One that she would enjoy greatly. She took a step forward and positioned her body in a battle stance.
Brick raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Oh, so you still want to fight? Are you sure? I don't want to burn that pretty dress you're wearing…"
"Just shut up and let's go!" she yelled.
He shrugged his shoulders. "Fine… if you say so…"
He started to roll up sleeves and unbutton his suit jacket. The way he was taking his sweet time was making Kimiko furious. It was like he was playing with her.
He finally finished and positioned himself in a battle stance of his own.
"So are you ready or not!" Kimiko asked loudly.
"Why don't you make the first move, babe… I want to see what you got…" he replied with his cocky little smile.
She glared at him. "I'll be glad too…"
She took a deep breath and ran at him with all her strength. And thus the battle began.
