The Fight of Fire

Chapter Six: Testing Her Skills

I kept my eyes on him as I took a few deep breaths.

He was way better than Naomi.

Every time I went low, high, left, right Ulrich knew where I was going. God, I must be showing too much emotion.

He could read my eyes like he could read a book.

Crap.

At the moment he was letting me have a break. It wasn't official but he wasn't advancing as I crouched down to breath.

Now I had to strategize.

He seemed to know all my moves. They must have been taught here. So now what?

Bing, my brilliant idea has arrived.

I closed my eyes and concentrated.

Odd was on the bleacher Naomi next to him and Ulrich huddled over breathing about seven feet away. Now if only I could go a little deeper.

"Whooo" Ulrich took a breath.

I opened my eyes.

Pulling myself up, I readied my fists.

Ulrich did the same.

Then he attacked.

Blocking my face and stomach I round house kicked, my foot heading for Ulrich's abdomen.

Unluckily for me he saw that coming.

Grabbing my ankle Ulrich flipped me so that I was facing the wall that had been behind me just a second before.

Pushing me up against the wall he pulled my arms around to my back and locked them.

He let one of his hands drop free from his grip on my wrists and slowly it made it was to my cheek.

Since at this moment my nose was up against the wall my cheeks were covered with my hair.

Ulrich pushed it aside and tucking his hand under my chin turned my face away from the wall.

"Much prettier" he whispered

I felt the pressure on my wrists let up a little.

Lifting my left leg I wrapped it around his and twisted.

His hands immediately left my arms and he went flying about four feet backwards.

Turning around I punched forward my knuckles connecting with his right cheek.

That was gonna leave a red mark.

"Oooh" he mumbled rubbing his cheek.

I blinked for a second then out of no where there was an aching pain in my side.

He'd distracted me and attacked.

My hand immediately went to my ribcage.

As I checked for any broken bones his arm soared toward my head.

I blocked grasping his fist inside my hand and twisting his arm until it was painfully behind his back.

"Ready to give up yet?" I asked.

"Not just yet" he answered slyly.

Grabbing my other hand with his free one he threw his weight forward and I went soaring over top of him onto the mats.

The moment I landed he rolled landing on top of me his hands holding mine to the ground his knees pushing into my thighs keeping my legs from moving.

Now what do I do?

XxXxXxXxXxX

All I had to do was hold her here for three second and I won.

"ONE!" Odd yelled.

She started struggling.

"TWO!"

Yumi's body went limp in defeat.

"THREE" Odd shouted. "Ulrich wins!"

I let my hold on Yumi loosen and pushed off the floor.

"Nice try Yumi" I said extending my arm to help her up.

"Your not so bad yourself" she smiled grabbing my hand and I pulled her off the floor.

"Well I think she put up a pretty good fight" Naomi said defensively.

Laughing Yumi brushed off her pants, "Thanks Naomi."

"Well what do you think Ulrich?" Odd asked his eyes shifting over to me.

"I'd say she's got a pretty good chance getting in, even if I don't face her" I replied truthfully. "If she doesn't make it I'll sort of wonder how Naomi got in."

"Hey" Naomi wined. "That was mean Ulrich."

She smiled.

"Ha, ha" I sighed.

"Okay then" Odd stood up, "Time for food."

"Odd, always thinking with his stomach" Naomi grinned.

"Hey, that's the walking stomach to you" Odd laughed.

"Whatever, let's just go to dinner" I interrupted.

"I'm good with that" Odd agreed.

"What about me?"

I turned looking at Yumi.

She was trying out tomorrow right? And Sensei already knew she was here so what harm could it do.

"You have to eat right" Naomi beat me to it.

"And Sensei already knows you're here so it's not like it'll blow your cover or anything" Odd added.

"So what's the point of hiding you" I finished.

"Well first we have to shower and change" Naomi reminded us. "Because I am not being seem by half the school sweaty and gross."

"Naomi the whole school has already seen you sweaty and gross" Odd said.

"Well… not at dinner they, um, haven't" Naomi stuttered.

"Fine you girls go shower and stuff and we'll meet you in twenty" I offered grabbing my bag from the bleachers.

"Good for me" Yumi said.

"Me too."

"Just hurry cuz I'm starving" Odd grounded.

"See you in twenty" Naomi shouted as she and Yumi walked out the gym doors and started toward Naomi's, well I guess their, dorm room.

"She's good" Odd said the second the door closed.

He snatched his bag off the floor.

"I know" I admitted, "And she's never even had any training."

"She's obviously a natural."

"Obviously."

"Are we having training tomorrow morning? I mean with Yumi here it might be a little hard for Naomi to get away unnoticed."

"Tomorrow we won't have enough time. Naomi's is going to have to get Yumi a practice robe and she'll probably be showing her around the school and signing her up in administration after the match" I explained.

"K, so you want me to tell Nae later?" he questioned using his nickname for Naomi.

"Yeah, sure" I answered as we started for the door.

I turned off the lights in the gym and locking the door, we started for our dorm.

As we started up the stair to the second floor of the housing building Odd laughed.

"What?" I asked.

"Yumi's pretty cute."

What!

"Odd you're dating Naomi! I thought we agreed that you wouldn't ask Naomi out unless you intended on going out with her until you truly didn't like her anymore! Not until you see a cuter girl!"

He couldn't do this to Naomi! Especially just because he thought her fake cousin was cuter!

"Chill dude, I'm not gonna brake up with Nae. I was talking about for you."

That was an even stupider idea. I'd just met Yumi and Odd knew I didn't fall for a girl in two days.

"Odd I just met Yumi. I'm not like you. I haven't suddenly fallen for her. I don't even know her well enough to like her yet" then I realized my mistake.

"Yet" Odd smiled. "So you do think she's cute.

"What do you want me to say 'no, she's ugly'?"

"Well that would be lying" Odd grinned

"Yes, I think she's cute, happy?"

"I'd have preferred you say hot but I don't think I've ever heard you say that I'll let it slide this time."

"Whatever."

Yeah Yumi was pretty, any guy could see that.

She was tall for a fifteen year old probably five-six about two inches shorter than me.

Her hair was cut short and was beautifully black, her eyes a midnight brown even her skin was perfect, white and creamy.

Woah, did I just think that?

"Okay lover boy come back to planet Earth" Odd said waving his hand in front of my face.

Shaking my head I muttered "Shut up."

Odd chuckled.

"Might as well admit you like her. I saw you flirting with her while you had her up against the wall."

He smiled holding in a laugh.

What is he- oh God!

"Odd you perv."

He let out his laugh.

"What is wrong with you? Is your head like nailed in the gutter?" I practically shouted.

"Chill out Ulrich I didn't intend on saying that. I didn't even realize I said it until it came out"

"Whatever, Odd."

"You're no fun anymore" Odd mumbled crossing his arms in front of his chest pouting.

I smiled.

That was Odd for you.

Yes this wasn't a very good chapter but I've been getting kinda bored with this story. I'm not saying I'm gonna stop or anything I'm just waiting to write the good part, which sadly doesn't come for a while. I'm really sorry this took so long to get up and I'm hoping that I can get the next chapter up fast. Merry Christmas everybody!!!!
