Endless has made me like Xigxas. I shall now force her to like Mircle.

Day 35-Rules of Engagement

Riku looked at his opponent, ready to block their next move. They just smiled back, a cocky look on their face. Riku almost rushed them because of it, but he managed to keep his cool.

"Well are you going to do something," Sora asked, standing on the sidelines with Kairi. She appeared to be in a good mood. Kairi didn't like the idea of fighting, even this kind, but she wanted to watch.

"Shut up Sora. I'm focusing," Riku said, trying harder to not blow up.

"Really? Because you look like you're just standing there," his opponent, Mircle, said, a hand on her hip. She was wearing black pants, a black bandeau top, and a black headband. She looked much like she appeared when Sora first met her. The black made her blonde hair stand out as well as her blue eyes.

Riku was dressed similarly, only he wasn't wearing a shirt and his pants and headband were silver.

"Well you aren't doing anything either," he said. Then he regretted it as a blow landed on his chest, knocking him other. "Hey! You said no cheap shots."

"That wasn't one. You invited me to hit you," Mircle said, smirking. Riku frowned, throwing his feet out to knock her other. Mircle jumped to get out of the ways.

Riku stood and ran at Mircle. She parried his strike, with an elbow to the chest.

"I thought you said no chest hits."

"I meant for me. I have a more sensitive chest."

"All these rules are confusing," Riku muttered as he and Mircle continued to fight.

"Hey you were the one who wanted to fight me. Not my fault that I was given memories of being trained in a dojo."

Riku didn't seem to accept that and Mircle sighed.

"You want me to go over them again?"

"Yes please."

With a dark smile, Mircle rushed at Riku and let her hand come from an inch before his neck. "No neck blows."

Riku moved back, but Mircle was faster than him, she grabbed him from behind. "Use the other person's body to your advantage," she reminded him, throwing him to the ground.

The teen was beginning to remember what she told him and wrapped a hand around her foot, pulling Mircle down too. "No cheap shots."

"No sissy moves."

"Hey that was not a sissy move!"

"I didn't say it was."

"……"

Mircle got back up and waited for Riku to do the same. "No biting or scratching which are obvious."

Riku stood again, panting. He wasn't sure how long he could keep this up. "Don't let your opponent get the better of you." He threw a kick at her shoulder and actually connected. But then Mircle grabbed his ankle and threw him up and over, causing Riku to land on his back.

Mircle moved to sit on top of him and got close to his face. "No chance of beating me."
