I felt my heart rate increase slightly, but I couldn't show Sac any weakness. I took my free arm and wrapped its chain around his neck. His breathing became more shallow a few minutes later. He managed to gasp, "Let go..." He kicked me hard, and I was slammed into a newly formed dent in the wall. The chain broke; fortunately, he didn't care at that point.
"Perhaps, I shouldn't under estimate you," I whispered as the pain began to set in. I pressed off the wall. "But I won't give up."
He backed up a step and brought up his fists. "Well, let's hope you're more of a challenge here. Ladies first." I swung my free hand at him, but he caught my fist. "Nice try, but you'll have to do better than that!" I kicked his knee, and he let go quickly. I took advantage of his action and wrapped the other chain around his neck. Hopefully, he'd fall for the same trick twice. "You have.... to do... better than... that... missy...." he gasped. He punched me in the stomach and kicked me. I flew into the wall as I did before. Sure enough he had fallen for it.
"You fool!" I shouted as I jumped over his shoulders. I grabbed father's sword and didn't draw. "I knew you'd fall for it."
"Perhaps, you under estimate my intellegence. I want an honest battle." He put up his fist once again. "Fight me without the blade. Of course, I had different plans for you, but this will be just fine."
I understood what he meant by "different plans,' and that thought made my rage burn. I ran at him and jumped up. I kicked his jaw before I dropped back to the ground. His mouth was bleeding just slightly from the inside. I could tell, because his blood oozed out of the corner of his lips. He wiped it away as if it was nothing. He smiled a bit and said, "You'll have to do better than that."
"As you wish!" I growled. I jumped up again and rose my sheathed blade. I slapped the side of his neck, and he stopped breathing for a moment. He dropped to the ground on top of me, and he was very heavy. I flipped him off and felt his pulse. "Be careful what you wish for. Next time we meet on the battle feild, I'll prove to you the power of Escaflowne."
I walked out side. I could go to the left or to the right. Voices seemed to grow closer from the left. I held the sword tight and weighed my options.
The choices are: 1) Go left 2) Use stealth 3) Go right stealthily 4) Screw Stealth!
