Chapter 4: Fight Night
Inside the Cabin: Jonas
As I sit at the table waiting for the food I can't help but think how sexy Ruby is in an apron. 'Joe no she is younger than you, but then again those hips'. I look away in spite of myself, but I soon find myself looking back. Yang bursts into the house looking at me with a huge grin on her face.
"So I have a question, does that mean you aren't a virgin anymore?"
I smile at her question "No, I don't think it counts."
Ruby turns with three bowls of soup in hand and lays them all on the table. "What counts?"
Yang looks up worried, "Oh nothing Ruby, me and Joe were just 'she goes to a huskier tone' talking about his first time."
Ruby growls "Really? Again Yang, you got a one track brain you know that?"
Yang looks shocked at her comment "Hey, don't hate a girl for asking,'she looks toward me menacingly' "or maybe even trying?"
When I jump back she breaks into laughter. "I'm just kidding with you J, I would never" 'she takes a long slurp from her soup and slowly looks up at me' "or would I?"
Once again she catches me off guard but this time I was ready. "You would enjoy that 'this time my voice goes husky' "wouldn't you?" I grin at her
She smiles at me. "Hey Rubes this kid learns fast." She continues to finish her soup.
She stops drowning in her food to say something "So. Jonas I'm. Going to the Sparring Gym. Later wanna come?"
I look up. "Sure, but what's the catch?"
"Well there's no weapons allowed only bare fists and passive semblances. Or as I like to call them bear fists! Eh? Eh? Get it because Jonas can become a Ursa..."
I sigh and look over "Yea I get it."
Ruby turns to face me and whispers in my ear "You're going to have to get used to that. It runs in her blood or something, she just can't hold it back."
"Rubes you're no fun, it was just a harmless joke right?" She nudges her shoulder toward me
"You better hope we don't fight each other in that gym because, well I'mma remember this." I crack my knuckles.
She chuckles "Cocky one ain't cha?"
Ruby groans "Oh my gosh save it for the ring."
Yang mimics her groan "Ugh fine mom, are you coming?"
"No thanks sis I need to handle some 'stuff' here in the house."
"Your loss Rubes, alright let's go Jonas."
We stand up and wave to Ruby before we leave.

Outside the Gym: Yang
As I look up I let out a breath of hot air. "Whelp this is it."
Jonas looks over to me "It doesn't look like much, lets just go inside"
As we walk inside I see Jonas look in awe at all the high quality stuff. "Okay well I officially take back that last comment."
I scoff "I knew you would. So about that challenge?"
He looks to me "So you really want to go for it?"
"Shit, why not right?"
He chuckles "Whatever you say princess"
"PRINCESS? Who the hell do you think you are calling princess?" I give him a sinister look like I was about to break his legs, so he naturally backs off.
"Alright, alright calm down. Imma go change see you in a few." We both turn to the lockers and before I enter. He screams "PRINCESS!" Oh my god I swear I will break his legs.

In the Ring: Jonas
I think I did my job she seems tense and fairly angry, she definitely has a temper. She looks at me with her mouth guard in hand.
"Ready to have your bones broken?" She puts her mouth guard in.
"Haha, nice try Princess" I turn to put mine in and when I turn back I see her charge at me fist wound back. I barely have time to dodge but my speed covers it for me, as I give her a quick jab to the ribs. I quickly run to the other side of the ring. "Oh did that hurt princess?" She turns slowly and I see her aura flare.
"You really wanna die don't you?" Her eyes turn into a crimson red.
I put my hand up signalling for her to come at me. "Well why don't you come get me?"
She lets off a light chuckle before using a combo of hits to strike me I dodge the first few but the last three get me. Two to the ribs and one to the neck, I jump out of the way of her right hook and swoop under her arm while giving her a couple of body shots. I look up to the screen to see both our aura levels in the yellow.
In the Ring: Yang
He let his guard down looking at the board, imbecile. I turn to give him a left hook but suddenly he is on the other side of the ring. "Why are you running huh?"
I slowly walk toward him and we stand face to face. He smiles and tries to punch me, I grab his fist and twist it, I wind my fist back and hit him square on the nose. He falls to the floor, but he laughs at the pain?
The Ring: Jonas
The fool she just activated my semblance, I turn myself into a Beowolf merged with the hands of an Ursa. "So, Yang wanna surrender?"
She laughs "Never in a million years." I swipe at her again while she charges me. I think I hit her head.
Yang:
I charge at him and he misses me, wow he can't aim for shi….. a small piece of my hair falls to the ground. "You…. You… YOU MONSTER!" I feel the anger boiling inside me all it wants is it's release and I happily oblige.
Jonas:
I nicked her hair? Whew what a relief.
"You…. You… YOU MONSTER!"
Wait what? She explodes sending out a shockwave that knocks me off balance. She charges at me faster than my speed can block she is constantly hitting me, I can't stop her, left right and left and right and all at once she uppercuts me.
Yang:
The bell rings and Jonas is on the floor breathing heavily. "Who is the princess now?"
He catches his breath. "I'm not answering that." He looks at me grimacing "Princess."
I knock him out without a second thought.
When I look up to our Aura levels "his is at 14 and mine is at, lets see… 18! He almost beat me? He barely nicked me," As I check myself I see huge bruises on my sides and a cut on my left side. "Oh that." I suddenly start to feel the pain and blackout.

In the Gym makeshift hospital: Yang
I wake to see Jonas besides me with a fresh tee shirt on, it looks like the ones the Gym gives out to members. "Oh hey look who woke up, the Prin.." I give him a cold stare and he stops "Yang I mean, … how do you feel?"
I chuckle "Well I feel like shit physically, but besides that I feel like a Million Bucks."
I give him a genuine smile "I have to give you props though."
He looks at me confused. "Why?"
"Well you almost beat me. Did you not see our Aura levels?"
"Um, you kinda knocked me out before I could check."
I scratch the back of my head. "Oh yea right, well you asked for it. Anyways it was 14 to 18."
"Wow that is close."
"Oh no I knew I was going to win either way, nice try though"
He gives me an angry look, "Go to sleep, we need to head back soon and I don't want you passing out on me halfway there."
I look at him "Whatever you say, Princess."
"What, you can't say that. That's my thing!"
"Not anymore….Princess."
Jonas Groans and walks out.
