Drabble 3: Grace

Book 3

He had met her just a few months ago. But it seemed that he had known her for a very long time. And in his eyes, Akane was a total klutz.

So, why was he sitting in the dojo watching her train?

He had been doing so during the whole week. He had to admit that she was kind of amazing. She had made so much progress in such a short amount of time. She reminded him of… himself. Yeah, of course, he was a prodigy that could learn martial arts in less than a …

She made a move and he found himself engrossed by it.

He watched her some more and finally he understood. The reason why he had been watching her train this week… it was just like when he had watched her fight the first time at Furinkan High against the "Hentai Horde."

It was in the way she moved. When Akane was fighting, she wasn't a klutz anymore. The fire in her eyes contrasted with her graceful movements and it was quite a sight. Yes, when she was fighting, Akane was the perfect definition for grace.

His sense of danger told him that something was wrong and he was able to dodge her attack just in time.

Oh shit, she wanted him to spar with her. There was no way out unless…

-"My my, such progress! You can stop now, I think you're ready."

He didn't want it to sound like he was mocking her, but well his mouth never seemed to work well when she was around. He just didn't know why.

Finally, he accepted to spar with her, curious to see her use her graceful attacks against him rather than against that idiot Ryoga.

But of course, Akane had to ruin his ideal of grace by falling to the ground.

Author note: Special thanks to Insanity Lord, The Rabid Badger, Krimzonrayne, Rei Sabere, Anonymous et merci à Kaebi, who reviewed last chapter. Even if you review a chapter late, I'll re-edit the document and put your name on it…

I know, it's short but a French author told me that drabbles had to make 500, not more. This takes place the night before the match against Kodachi. Please I'd like to know what you think of these drabbles so I'm asking the people who put me in their favourites or in their story alert list to review please… Thanks for reading anyway.

Bisous
