Chapter 10

"Ugh!" I huff, flinching as Kanda's clenched fist plants a heavy hit in my gut.

"Flex to brace." Kanda says calmly, throwing another quick jab at me.

"Ergh!" I grunt, tightening my core to absorb the hit.

"Watch your back!" Lavi calls out behind me.

I duck and feel the force of Lavi's punch sail over my head, missing me completely as it lands on Kanda. I crouch as low as I can get and sweep Kanda's leg with my own, knocking him to the floor. I spin around to face Lavi and just barely evade a punch to the face. His arm extends past my head and I take the opportunity to grab Lavi's arm. Twisting around and using leverage, I roll him over my back, slamming him onto Kanda.

"Hah! Winning." I smirk, dusting off my exorcist's coat.

"Get off of me Rabbit!" Kanda growls, shoving Lavi onto the floor and away from him.

"Aye! Easy there Yu!" Lavi grumbles, sitting up.

"I thought you two were suppose to be pros." I tease.

Kanda growls, climbing back up to his feet. He takes a moment to get into a fighting stance. I crack my neck and nod towards Kanda. He jumps at me, moving faster before, but I can keep up. We exchange throws, dodging and ducking from each other.

Lavi rolls backwards towards his head and swings back, using his momentum to force himself up. I duck under Kanda and jab him in the throat. He coughs and grabs at his throat, giving me the opportunity I need to get space between us.

Lavi grabs my head, putting me in a choke hold. I elbow him repeatedly in the stomach, but he doesn't budge, as if my hits are completely benign. Kanda closes in, a glint of payback in his eyes. I drop all of my weight on Lavi and throw my legs up, kicking Kanda back as the force nearly knocks Lavi back.

I twist out of Lavi's grip and push him aside. Sweeping past Kanda's side I throw my elbow into his back. He twists around and grabs my shoulder, pulling me back. I attempt to kick him but he catches my leg. Running out of options, I jump up and throw my other leg over his neck. With this new angle, my trapped leg is released and I'm able to use it to spin around on his shoulders. I grab his head, putting one hand on his forehead and the other on his jaw.

"You're out." I grin. He huffs and stands still.

"Alright, well done." Kanda sighs as I climb off his neck.

"Well, well Kanda. Looks like I beat you." Lavi smirks.

"Don't push your luck rabbit. Worry about beating her." Kanda growls.

Kanda moves over to the wall and I turn to Lavi. We get back at it, but Lavi is so much faster than Kanda. This time, I can't keep up. I jab at Lavi but he crouches down and sweeps my legs out from under me. I grunt as I hit the floor, flat on my back. Already low, Lavi jumps on top of me, one knee at his side and the other on my stomach. I try to push him off, but he grabs both of my wrists with just one of his hands and uses his spare to prop himself up.

Shit. He's gonna win. A cocky grin spreads across his face. He could end it right now. He could finish the match and win. But he doesn't. He moves his knee off of my stomach and raises an eyebrow. Confused, I knee him from behind, knocking him off. In one swift movement, he's on his back and my forearm is against his throat.

"You win." He smirks.

"What the hell was that?" I ask, letting him up.

"What was what?"

"You were winning."

"Correction, you were winning." He laughs, sitting up.

"Stop going easy on me!" I say, shoving him playfully.

Lavi gets up and shakes the dirt off of this back. He grabs my arm and pulls me to my feet. Kanda rolls his eyes and walks over to us from the wall. He glares at Lavi for a moment but Lavi just shrugs. Kanda rolls his eyes and wipes the sweat off of his brow. I chuckle at their little exchange and take a moment to catch my breath.

It's been a week since the three of us arrived from our last mission. It didn't take too long for my hand to heal from the stray bullet that ricocheted off of Mugen. It's still sore, but all that remains is a little pink scar. Kanda doesn't like to look at it, unlike the bruises he gave me from our first mission, this mark won't go away.

"So round two anyone?" I ask.

"I don't know if Yu's pride can handle another beating." Lavi teases.

"You weren't the only one going easy rabbit." Kanda growls, glaring at the red-head.

"Hey! What's that suppose to mean, you guys are just pissed that I kicked your asses." I say.

"Yu's just nervous because he's got a bad habit of beating you up." Lavi says.

"Watch your mouth usagi!" Kanda yells, grabbing Lavi's collar and lifting him up a bit.

"Well your track record isn't looking too bright." Lavi continues, an evil grin on his face.

He doesn't seem the least bit intimidated by the samurai's threats, he even seems to thrive off of Kanda's reaction. I shake my head and grab Kanda's arm. He hesitates, but releases Lavi. They exchange taunting looks but both ease up.

"Ok so is that a no on round two?" I ask.

"Whatever. But this time, I'm not going easy." Kanda sighs.

"That's the spirit!" Lavi says, patting Kanda on the back.

"Well it's about damn time." I laugh.

Kanda and Lavi get back to the fighting area while I stretch out my arms. I look at the two of them, amused by their behavior. I hadn't really thought of it before, but these two must be the best friends that I have. This overly aggressive, blue-haired samurai and this crazy, hammer swinging red-head, are the closest people to me.

"What? I thought you wanted a rematch." Kanda growls.

"I love you guys." I smile.

"Did we hit you a little too hard before?" Lavi asks surprised.

"No, I'm just saying." I laugh, walking over to them.

"But you love me more, right?" Lavi presses. I roll my eyes at him.

"Shut up rabbit."
