Chapter 12

Naito yelled and charged. Her whole life she had fought, but no one expected what happened next.

Tenshi squatted and when Naito was an inch from her, she leapt.

She twirled over Naito, carefully landing on her hand and flipping back into a stand. Naito twirled and swung. Tenshi flipped over the blade, putting her foot out in front of Naito, making her stumble.

Naito swung the sword at Tenshi, but she moved it up, ever so carefully using the back of her hand to push on the flat of the blade.

Then Tenshi giggled! Like this was some game that she played with Naito all the time.

Naito snarled and glared.

"Stop playing Tenshi. Fight me for real!" Naito yelled, swinging the blade. Tenshi shrugged and ducked under the blade.

Her index and middle finger from each hand shot out.

When Tenshi left Naito, she met a woman who trained her in gymnastics, chi, and the various nerves in the body. And the points to hit to freeze these nerves up.

She jabbed all up Naito's right arm, it fell limp and useless. She cart wheeled out of the way when Naito swung her sword clumsily. Tenshi jabbed up Naito's left arm and in her stomach.

Naito swung to kick, but Tenshi flipped over her and jabbed various parts on Naito's sides and abdomen. Naito gasped and fell over, unable to move.

The crowd fell silent, and then Naito struggled to swing once more. Tenshi kicked the sword away and put her foot on Naito's shoulder, holding her down.

A voice rang out over the stadium.

"The winner," it said. "Tenshi!" the crowed cheered and Tenshi helped Naito stand. Throwing an arm over her shoulder, Tenshi helped Naito back.

When the paralysis on Naito wore off she smiled at Tenshi.

"Well, I'm impressed," she said, rolling her shoulders. "When and where'd you learn that?" she said. Tenshi smiled and Corro nodded.

"That's what I'd like to know." He said. Tenshi blushed.

"I traveled," was all she offered. Naito laughed and Magdala walked in.

"Well, as promised," she held up a bag of coins. "1000 gil, congratulations." Tenshi smiled and accepted the bag. She turned to Naito.

"We got to get going," she said sadly. Naito nodded.

"Come back and visit again sometime, we'll have a rematch." Naito said with a twinkle in her eyes. Tenshi smiled and hugged the girl, and then they left.

Magdala and Naito watched the two leave and the young girl sighed.

"Well, fun's over, huh sis?" she said. Naito smiled at the young girl.

The two weren't blood sisters, but Lady Maggie had taken Naito in like her own after Tenshi left. She nodded and walked back into the Coliseum.
