"WHAT!!!" everyone screamed?

"What do you mean I'm staying?!" shouted Ryu. "You said I'm here for a quick visit!"

"Grandmother Hina, he is a male!"Motoko yelled. "He cannot stay here, this is a all girl's dorm!"

"Yet you let Keitaro stay," said Grandma Hina calmly.

Motoko was taken aback by her statement and blushed a bit.

"T-t-t-that's not the point here!" Snapped Motoko. "Keitaro is an exception!"

"Yeah! The crazy swords girl and everyone else properly doesn't want me here, anyway!" shouted Ryu while Motoko's eyebrow twitched. "I'm a male and….you... know why I can't stay"

Ryu sounded like he was in pain as he started to look down to the floor with a dark expression. Everyone fell in to a eire silence.

"So, how long do you intend to use that as your excuse, Ryu?" Said Grandma Hina in a monotone.

"What do you mean?!"Ryu shouted feeling offended. "You know what may happen if I stay here!" "That is reason enough for me not to stay!"

"So, you want to start the reasons game, do you?" Grandma Hina's voice sounded dark. "Feel your chest, Ryu.

"Why do I need to-"Ryu's face paled as he kept patting his chest.

"No" was all he could barely say.

"Where are they?!" he whispered.

"Somewhere you can't reach right now" said Grandma Hina simply.

"Don't…fuckin'…kid...with…..me!" Said Ryu with a voice filled with rage.

"I'm not," she said calmly. "I said that-"

Grandma Hina was cut off as Ryu picked her up by the coller of her kimono shouting, "WHERE ARE THEY, OLD HAG?!"

"Ryu, clam down!" Yelled Keitaro getting up from his seat.

"Now, now Ryu-kun." Said Grandma Hina with a hint of rage. "Do you really want to get in a fight with me?"

Motoko couldn't stand back and watch this madness go on, so she grabbed her sword and charged at the man.

"I-" Ryu stopped talking as soon as he heard a battle cry approach him quickly, let go of Grandma Hina's kimono and, jumped to the side.

"Why did you attack Grandmother Hina, vile male!" yelled Motoko with anger. "Tell me!"

"Have you not been listening to the conversation, swordsmen?" Ryu looked towards her.

"I have been listening! It turned from you not staying here too you attacking Grandmother Hina!"

"And now I am asking you why you were attacking her!"

"I attacked her because she stole what is precious to me." Ryu said simply."

"Precious enough to attack your grandmother?!"

"If you speak like that, then yes."

"Besides, were not related by blood."

Stab. A comical arrow hits Grandma Hina.

"Is...that ...so?" her heart felt like it broke in two.(poor granny) : (

'So his rings more important than me, huh.' Grandma Hina thought evilly.

Now, she wants revenge. : )

"Motoko, you want to avenge the fact Ryu attack me, right?" Grandma Hina said quickly.

"H-hai." Motoko was confused with the quick change of events.

"And Ryu, you want to get back a your 'precious item' correct?" Grandma Hina smiled a bit.

"Yeah, obviously," said Ryu told her like she should of knew already.

A big, evil smile formed on her face.

Keitaro and Kanoko gulped as they looked at each, for they knew where this was going.

"Then it's settled, you two shall fight for what you want!" she happily said loudly.

"What?!" everyone screamed.

Keitaro and Kanoko were afraid of this.

"Ryu, if you win, you can have your rings back and you don't have to stay. Motoko, if you win, then Ryu will not stay here and he will become your slave. No rules at the battle field "

"Sure, why not!" said Ryu smugly. "I could get some of my blood flowing."

"I will make you sorry for ever crossing paths with me." said Motoko evilly.

Ka-boom

Thunder strikes behind as they stare at each other with the fire in their eye's to win.

"Why a fight granny?!" shouted Keitaro baning on the table. "Isn't there a more peaceful resolve?!"

"Yeah! A more peaceful resolve" yelled Kanoko. (Is this really Kanoko?)

"No, there isn't 'a more peaceful resolve to this' because, there is no other way." said Grandma Hina.

"But!"

"No, buts!" Grandma Hina yelled. "They agreed to the fight already!"

Ryu puts his hand on his shoulder and says, "Don't worry, I'll end it fast."

'Thats what I'm afraid of ' thought Keitaro.

"Ryu, Motoko, get your weapons and head to the back of the Hinata Sou." said Grandma Hina.

Ryu put down his backpack, opened the zipper to get his sword, and saw a dizzy tiger and wolf in hiking backpack.

"OH NO!!!!!" screamed Ryu in a panic. "Sliver, Kisa!Speak to me!" grabbing them into a embrace, rubbing them on his cheek.

Everyone sweatdrops.

"Um...animal lover?" thinks everyone

The constant rubbing on Sliver and Kisa woke them up. They growled and barked/roared at him, which caused him to drop them on the ground.

(They landed on all fours of course)

"Kisa, Sliver! Your alive!"said Ryu pulling them into another hug.

Everyone sweatdropped.

There barks/growls could be told by any that they meant 'let us go' or 'help someone'.

Kisa had to scratched him for him to let go.

"Ow!" he yelped. "That hurt you know!"

'Not as much as your affection," pouted Kisa. (Kisa and Sliver can't speak human)

'Yeah! What she said!' barked Sliver.(The italics are Kisa and Sliver speaking in animal)

"I'm sorry...: ( , Ryu looks like he was going to cry.

Everyone sweatdrops and thinks "He understands/talking them!!"

"Ahem," Motoko was first to break out of the the trance. "Did you for get about our match, already?"

"No, I didn't forget," Ryu recollected himself. "I need to grab my swords."

When he turned to get swords, Kisa and Sliver held his swords in their mouths.

He blinked and smile as he pat there heads, and said 'Thank you.'

Motoko observed his swords, looked like any other Japanese sword would but, it didn't like the type of steel you would want to battle with. It look more like a sword for display than, a sword to battle with. It look like it would break in battle.And since it is dull, it wouldn't do a lot of damage

'Looks like this is going to be a easy win for me' thought Motoko.

-----------------------------------------------------------10 minutes later at the back of the Hinata Sou-------------------------------------------------------------

"Swordsmen, this is only chance to give up." said Ryu calmly. "I suggest you take it while you still can."

"Not a chance in your life time," Motoko answered smugly. " shouldn't it be me saying that to you?"

"Not a chance" he said smirking.

"Get on with it already!" shouted Kitsune. "Your boring us to death!"

The girls wanted to watch the fight so, they came along.

"c'mon!"shouted Kitsune. "So stop your yaping and start your fight!"

Kitsune turns to Keitaro and says," I bet 500 Yen on Motoko and 800 Yen on your brother."

"What?!" shouted Motoko. "You have that little fate in me!?"

"Well um..."

Motoko sweatdrops and says,"Nevermind."

"Well, I think we should now before your friend starts her month again," Ryu said teasingly.

"Agreed," said Motoko.

"Hey!" shouted Kitsune. "I heard that!"

"But remember, I shall be victorious."

"Not-a-chance"

And with that, they charge up to each other to begin the battle.

The battle started 2 minutes ago, and everyone was watching the battle intensely.

Motoko charges to the killing blow, but Ryu jumped up and as he came down, he had his swords crossed like a X.

Motoko jumped back like it was nothing.

"You know," said Ryu as there blades dance."We should start getting serious now."

"I thought you wold never ask!"Said a very confident Motoko.

When Motoko was a good distance away from Ryu, she called out, "Secret technique, Rock splitting sword!"

The blow hit Ryu directly and he was still standing.

"How are you still standing?!" said a confused Motoko.

"Because I need to win no matter what." Said Ryu with a smile.

"That and the fact it didn't hit me in the first place." he mumbled.

"What!" exclaimed Motoko.

"Shit! I wasn't suppose out loud!" yelled Ryu.

"For you to deflect my attack, you must be a demon!"

Motoko thought she was right when she saw Ryu's stare at her wide eyed.

"When your mother found out that you were a demon, she must had abandoned you until the Urashima's found you, right?!" Motoko smirked. 'Looks like I hit a spot!'

"What... did... you..say!" you could hear the rage in his voice.

"You said your self that you and Grandmother Hina were not related by blood, so that means that you were adopted , right?!"

"Sliver...get my backpack and bring it here!" Ryu's voice sounded cold like ice.

Sliver obeyed and brought his bag to the battlefield.

Sliver turns back and looks at Motoko before heading back.

'Sorry about this,' Sliver thought. 'I didn't want this to end like this for you.'

Ryu undid his blue headband and tied a red bandana on his forehead, covering half of his eye's.(the top half of his eye!)

As he put away his two swords, brought out two big exorcism blades.( Think of Ichigo's sword from Bleach)

"I will make you pay for what you have said!" shouted a very anger Ryu.

Kanoko, Keitaro, Grandma Hina, Kisa,and Sliver all knew what was going to happen...

"I thought you were better than this, Motoko-san. Let the real fight begin."

That hell was going to break though on Motoko's sorry ass.
