We made it to the second day. Lulubell had a match first thing in the morning, so we ended up getting here early again today. On our way in we ran into Alexander, the man I faced yesterday, and now both he and I sit in the stands waiting for Lulubelle's match to start.

He tells me of his life in Russia. He says he's been training since he was young and wants nothing more in the world than to help his country and his family. He tells me of his little sister and how she too, wants to become a guild member. His brother however wants to become a writer. I don't get how people write for fun. I think the only time I had any trouble academically in school was when we were assigned to write a short story for English in 11th grade. I spent hours sitting at my desk with crumpled papers scattered at my feet, not having written a single world. That was a nightmare. Although I wouldn't mind going back to that time, that time where I had little to no responsibility. I said this to Alexander and he responded with a jaunty laugh. He says he and his sister were the same way, unlike his brother the two would always get into trouble and didn't like to finish their work.

I'm glad I got the chance to meet Alexander. It's been awhile sense I had a good chat with a stranger. Well he's not a complete stranger, but you get my point.

We talked for awhile, just wasting time till Lulubelle's match started. When the match does begin and Lulubelle's opponent is revealed I can't help but scowl. Of course she would be facing the snobby French girl we met a few days before.

"Who is that girl?" I ask Alexander.

Alexander hums and folds his hands in his lap. "Her names Scarlet. She and her partner made it to the semifinals last year till she lost to the defending champion."

She lost to Tadashi last year then. But that still doesn't give her the right to be a bitch to everyone. She shouldn't take her frustration out on other people or act better because of her ranking, I hate people like that.

The match starts, Scarlet takes off dashing at Lulubell with her rapier. She's fast, aiming quick strikes to Lulubell. Lulubell ducks and weaves, moving the way out of the strikes. when she saw an opening she tried a spin kick followed by a hook kick. Her attacks fail to land as Scarlet moves out of the way. Trying her luck with another kick, Lulubell at the end of the kick lunges at Scarlet with her fan, aiming to her gut. The two fail to land attacks on each other, both moving out of the way and attacking with equal strength. Scarlet aims a strike to Lulubelle's head, but Lulubell redirects it using her fan and checks Scarlets hand after the redirect. Pain flashes across Scarlets face and I can hear the bones in her wrist break, and I tense at the unpleasant sound.

Scarlets sword is dropped and she quickly retreats back a few steps, pulling out a second rapier; this time using her left hand. Her right hand hangs loosely to her side, you can see it twitch and shake from the pain she must be feeling.

Scarlet regains her composure and with one final attempt at winning dashes to strike Lulubell in the head. As the rapier is about to hit her, Lulubell bends backwards, hair touching the ground; grabs the rapier in the lower half of her fan, closest the fan and twists. Another disarm. This time is leaves Scarlet defenseless.

Not taking the time to admire her disarm, Lulubell takes advantage of Scarlets surprised state and elbows her in the stomach, followed by a back knuckle, then a punch. Scarlet falls to the ground clutching her stomach and the crowed cheers. The match is over.

Lulubell walks over to her fallen opponent and offers her a hand up. From what I can see though, Scarlet is not happy and gets up without help from Lulubell and stumbles away.

I have a match now, so I say goodbye to Alexander and head over to my arena, which to my convenience is just down the hall for here. When I enter the Arena I see my opponent waiting for my on the court. I frown when I see my opponents face.

Shit.

I would have to fight an orc.

I take a deep breath and approach him. He's taller than me by a good head or two and he looks has to look down when I walk up to him to shake hands. His hands are cold and his skin pale. His eyes however show no emotion, they just stare at me unchanging.

"Good luck young one." he says to me.

"Thanks, you too."

I clear my head, looking over my enemy and reading his body language and searching for any advantage I could take or any weak points he may show.

He has an giant axe. It's about the size of me, but he carries it like it were a simple carving knife. He might be slower though, which is good for me. I just need to stay out of his reach. If i Focus and play my cards right I should be able to win.

The buzzer sounds and I wait for the orc to attack first. He takes the bait and charges at me wielding his axe back ready to send it down on me. Right before he gets me however I cartwheel out of the way with ease. Megabot who had been resting on my shoulder, jumps off onto the orcs shoulder and whacks him in the face.

I resist the urge to laugh at the sight of a giant such as an orc being bitch slapped by a tiny robot. But the orc didn't find it as amusing as I did and grabs Megabot and chucks him across the arena then charges at me again with a fierce battle cry. reacting quickly I bounce on the balls of my feet a few times before jumping up, somersaulting over the orcs head and landing with my back facing his. Before I can run out of range the orc turns and grabs my shirt and his nails dig into me, scratching my back and bruising my skin.

I hiss; shots of pain going up my back. To get free I turn and scratch the orcs face, he lets go, hands going to cover his face. I blitz away, creating space between us. Megabot comes back, attacking the orc again distracting him. This is my chance. I move swiftly to back to the orcs side and press a pressure point on his neck rendering him stunned for a few moments. With as much power as I could muster I side kick the orc in his stomach and he falls on his butt. I pull out a small knife and hold it to the orcs throat.

After the first match I ran into Honey Lemon. I asked her where Tadashi would be and she told me that he already finished all his matches for the day and went back to the hotel. I wasn't surprised.

I had a few more matches for the day. Each match getting harder then the last. It didn't help that every time I moved, my back would hurt.

Finally being finished I texted Lulubell saying that I would be with Tadashi for the rest of the day and I would meet her for dinner later. I texted Tadashi too, asking if it was alright if we could hang. He said of course and to meet me in the private gym at his hotel.

::::::::::::::::::::::::

The same unfriendly guy was at the desk when I walked in. He didn't even acknowledge my presences, so I continued on my way down a side hall, with Tadashi's texts as a guid.

When I find the right room and push open the door my breath catches in my throat. Tadashi's standing next to a heavy bag and he wipes the sweat from his forehead.

Damn he looks hot.

"Hey, how were your matches?" He asks picking up a water bottle and taking a sip from it.

"They were a piece of cake." I said smirking. "I'm getting really good you know."

Tadashi's crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow skeptically. "Is that so? Want to show me some of that skill you're bragging about?"

Wait what? Like show, as in fight him? Fight Tadashi?

I know for a fact that right now, even if I tried my hardest I couldn't win agents Tadashi. Not to complain or be Whitney, but I'm really tired and my back still hurts like a bitch. So while this won't be a match for the ages, I don't see why I can't have a little fun with this.

"I don't know Tadashi, I don't want to hurt your ego or anything, but if you insist." I get into a ready stance, holding my fists up in the air. "I'll go easy on you."

Tadashi doesn't even bother getting into a stance. He knows where this is going, we both know.

I lunge at him and he Tadashi a step to the side, I reply with a back kick and he just catches my leg and takes me down. I fall on my stomach and he pins me to the ground, all his wait I top of me, my arm being held firmly behind my back.

"Thanks for going easy on me." He jokes, breath hot against my neck.

I gulped trying to move, but when I do I let out a hiss of pain from my back being rubbed against. It still hurt like bitch from earlier and by rolling around on it probably didn't help it much either.

Tadashi's reaction is to tenses on top of me. Even though I can't see him I feel his eyes on the back of my head.

"Are you okay?" He asks concerned.

"Yeah, it's just a bruise a some scratches on my back I got from an earlier fight. No big deal." I reply.

Tadashi didn't seem satisfied with this answer. He pushes up my shirt with his free hand and I hear him gasp.

"Hiro..."

I feel his breath ghost over my back, I tense hoping that he isn't going to do what I think he's going to do. I didn't really want to go through that sort of pain again.

I move to sit up, but Tadashi's hold on my arm tightens leaving me unmobile.

"Tadashi really it's fine you don't need to-."

"You're worrying about it hurting again right?" He seems amused by this and let's out a dark chuckle.

"That's not funny." I sigh, shifting again only to bring more pain to my back.

"Trust me this time it won't hurt." Tadashi presses his lips to my back and I instantly tense. I hold my breath and wait for the pain I expect to come. Although Tadashi said that this time it wouldn't hurt. What did he-oh my god!

I gasp as a spark of pleasure runs up my spine and sends tingling sensations to my fingertips.

Tadashi sensationally moves his tongue to lick over the scratches and each time he goes over the opening; his tongue and saliva mixing with my blood, a new bolt of warmth is sent throughout my body.

I don't get what's happening. The first time this happened, more specifically yesterday, it gave me so much pain. Today however it was- it felt, so good...

I moaned clawing at the ground beneath me. My heart pounding in my chest. It was getting a little too hot and my pants suddenly felt tight.

"Um Hiro I'm done." Tadashi laughs.

I relies Tadashi isn't pressed against me anymore or on me at all. I awkwardly sit up and turn away from Tadashi; a sad attempt at hiding my little "problem."

God this was so embarrassing. I'm so stupid for letting myself get carried away like this. Tadashi's messing with me on purpose too.

"Hiro love." I could practically hear the smugness dripping from Tadashi's voice and it did nothing at all to help out my situation.

I found Tadashi behind me again, his chest pressing to my back. I closed my legs tighter as I sit on my feet. I bite my lip trying to calm my breathing and nerves. Damn it Tadashi don't do things like this.

"Well someone's excited." Tadashi teases his hands grabbing my hips firmly and lips pressed to my neck. "Do you need some help with that." He sounds so innocent when he says it.

"Tadashi were in a gym!" I protest, but half heartedly mean it.

"A private gym." He corrects . "So what's it going to be?"

I want him to touch me, I want him to continue. I don't know how to describe how I feel right now. Turned on, horny? Whatever in the end let's throw caution to wind.

"Touch me."

Tadashi was way too happy to comply. He smirks against my neck and his hands go downward rubbing the inside of my thighs.

I watch unable to take my eyes of his actions as he palms my bulge through my cargo shorts. I moan bucking my hips up to meet his hand.

"S-stop teasing." I say, my hands reaching behind to entangle themselves in Tadashi's soft hair.

"Can you take anything more?" Tadashi teases.

You know what mr. Smartass you've met your match. If he wants to play this way fine, but I'm not going down without fight.

I smirk turning my head to whisper in his ear.

"I know I can take more than you could ever give."

As soon as the sentence was done, I'm thrown the the floor on my back. My lips instantly being claimed by Tadashi's.

I'm on my back and my eyes are shut so tight that I see white. My hand grips my hair pulling it as I watch Tadashi suck me off.

My body withers as Tadashi bobs his head. There's a sort of pressure building in my stomach, it feels hot and foreign, but still leaves me moaning and wanting more. I buck my hips into Tadashi's hot mouth.

"D-Dashi!" I gasp, as my whole body shakes and my mind goes blank. I come into Tadashi's mouth, shaking as I do so.

Tadashi smirks wiping his mouth on the back of his hand. "You okay?"

My heads still swimming. It takes me a moment to find something to say, and even when I do the dumbest thing comes out. "I can't believe I let you do that to me in a gym."

Tadashi lets out a bark of laughter. "Are you complaining?" He says helping me sit up and holding me in his arms.

"No." I reply.

I feel so relaxed right now. Tadashi's scent of aftershave filling my nose and his hands caressing my sides and petting my hair. I forgot the tournament, forgot the fact that we're still inside a gym, and forgot that I promised Lulubell that I'd meet her for dinner, but it's nice sitting with Tadashi this way. It was like we were in a bubble, a world just the two of us together in that moment. Maybe it's just the post bliss of my high talking, but it was a great feeling. One I wouldn't mind getting use to.

"Thank you." Tadashi says, nuzzling his nose in my hair.

"Thank you for what?"

"For trusting me to do this."

"Oh." I reply lamely blushing.

"Hey Hiro, there's something I need to tell-."

Tadashi was cut off by his phone ringing. He let it ring for a while until it stopped only to start ringing again. He growled frustratedly and untangled himself for my hold. He retrieved his phone from his bag and answered with an angry-.

"What?"

I can hear the other voice on the phone, it sounds like that lady from before. The one in Tadashi's hotel room.

Though I could hear her, she wasn't speaking English. It was a strange dialect, one I have never heard before. Still I strained my ears to make some heads of the conversation.

When Tadashi was about to speak he opened his mouth but then closed it and looked at me. His lips in a thin tight line. They opened again only to speak in the same language as the women on the phone.

This action made me feel awkward and I pulled my pants back up and fix my shirt.

Tadashi and that women's argument is getting pretty heated, maybe it's time for me to go. I get up to leave, but Tadashi grabs my shoulder, just as I turn to go. The phone is still held up to his ear and he's still speaking in that language.

After a few more words he hangs up, tucking the phone away in his pocket.

"You didn't have to hang up." I say. "Do you have to go?"

"No. No I don't. Sorry about that my partner and I just got into an argument is all."

So that girls his partner then. Like how Lulubell is my partner for the tournament. She must go to the Gear guild too then. I wonder if Tadashi and her are close. She didn't seem to like me much when we first met, maybe she's like an ex girlfriend or something.

I find myself biting the inside of my cheek in irritation at the thought of Tadashi with another person, especially a girl.

"So, if you don't have to go, mind showing me some more moves?" I ask and Tadashi chuckles.

"For you anything."
