"N-N-N-NANIIII!?!?!?" We both screamed at the same time. Why was luck bad to us this day? How the hell did that happen? Even more what the hell were they thinking? They should have changed it even if it was random. All of the senseis know that we both are bitter rivals and totally excel where the other person does not! They know that if they pair us together in a match the whole arena is going to get destroyed. What the hell were they thinking?

"They must be asking for a big damage bill," I muttered to myself.

"Well, at least they gave us the last match so we can destroy the arena after everybody else is done," Riku said reassuringly. ARGH! They all know that we both can totally destroy it beyond recognition so why still do they want to do it? We can kill someone for god's sake! Some ceremony this is. I mean it seems like they did this on…

"They lied to us." I muttered angrily to myself.

"What?" Riku asked me.

"Those idiots lied to us. They matched everybody up with someone else due to their experience on everything. It wasn't from random. It's some kind of exam to see how good we got or something." I said angrily thinking out loud.

"It was actually see the extent of you powers." I heard a mysterious voice say. We both whirled around to see the captain of the first division, old man Yamamoto-soutaichou or as Kyouraku-taichou calls him, Yama-jii.

"Eh?" Riku and I said at the same time. Both surprised at him coming.

"We wanted to see how good you got without any of you knowing so you wouldn't consider it unfair."

"But it IS unfair." I answered angrily back.

"Which is the reason why we didn't tell you." Yama-jii answered back.

"ARGH!!! YOU GUYS ARE SO DAMN EVIL!!! LIAR, FRAUD, FAKE, HYPOCRITE, MANIPU mmph mrrrssspphhmm." My yelling was blocked out by a hand over my mouth.

"We understand Yamamoto-soutaichou." I heard Riku say through my loud noises of anger.

"I hope to see you two there." Yama-jii say while walking away. When he was out of our sight Riku quickly let his hand uncover my mouth afraid that I was going to bite it.

"What the hell was that for?" I asked obviously pissed. He looked at me and sighed.

"Baka, don't you know what happens if you get on the wrong side of him?" Riku asked me angrily.

"Yes for a fact I DO know what happens. Do you?" I questionably taunted him. Of course I know what happens. I have been sent to him for doing "unspeakably" bad things such as ditching class and not listening to the senseis…it isn't too bad compared to what I do when I'm alone in the forest! You'll find out about that later.

"Of course I don't know what happens because I ACTUALLY follow the rules and I…" Riku said yet the words weren't making contact with my brain. What did Yama-jii say when he left, "hope to see you two there?" What did he mean by that? It sounded more like that was addressed to me because he probably…oh I get it! He's expecting me not to come eh? Well it is only natural to do what he expects of me!

"Your not actually of thinking…" Riku asked suspiciously staring at me in the same tone as his voice. I guess I was muttering what I was thinking. I have a habit of doing that.

"Thinking of what Riku-kun?" I asked innocently.

"Thinking of not even going to the exam." He said back.

"Erm… I uh… I wouldn't say that I wouldn't not go." I said nervously. I am terribly bad at talking like this but Riku is hard to fool.

"So you're not going?" Riku asked a bit confused.

"I won't say that I not know where I'm going when it's our turn. I am definitely not never going to not come today. So bye Riku-kun. See yah!" I said nervously and walked away.

"Wait a minute…I'm not as dumb as you think." Riku said a bit mad because I seemed to match him up with an idiot. Well…so much for my means of escape. Now to plan two: ditch…wait I can't run anywhere…I'm in an enclosed room. NOOO!!!!!

"So…you were planning on ditching me eh? What was even more is that you'd leave me to take the blame alone." Riku asked. AUGH! None of his words are helping with my sanity! I need to make it to the door as quickly as possible. Slowly I took one step after another to reach the door. Almost ther-

"What's wrong? Why are you running away… scared? Think that you'd lose against me? Well I guess your right. You should be scared. You'd probably lose anyway." Riku taunted. I flinched. What did he say? For once his words actually hit my brain and he actually accused me of being scared. Oh god I really want to kill him right now…AUGH! One side of my brain wants to take his challenge but I also want to irritate the senseis more! AUGH WHAT SHOULD I DO? I just have to walk up to the door and not sto-

"Heh, this makes you more of a wimp then me since your running away from our challenge!" Riku laughed. Nani? What did he say? I couldn't hold my anger any longer.

"Big words for someone who hasn't even seen me go full out. In fact I bet I can bet you without even going full out. And I will fight you and I will win." I answered back without thinking.

"So are you going to be there?" Riku answered confident.

"I never said that I was going to be there now did I Riku-chan? 10 o'clock tonight in the forest… or are you thinking of running away like the wimp you are?" I taunted again without thinking. Riku seemed a bit intimidated by my words then looked confident. Lightning bolts attacked clashed each other from our eyes (manga style).

"Fine I will be there!" Riku said confidently and walked away. Slowly my feelings of competitiveness drained from my body leaving despair. Dammit! Why did I do that for?

Author's note-

You'll see why she doesn't want to fight him in the later chapters. Also sorry this chapter is so short!
