Recap:
Walking around in the mansion after Maya gave me some more medicine. I know Taiga and Kyo are training in our makeshift battle area. I'm walking around just to do something as well as to plot against Micah and Senshi. 'Micah hurt my friends, Senshi hurt family. They're both going to pay.'
"Tohru, how about some sparring practice?" Don shouts from behind me, running to catch up. I stop and smile at him for bringing up the idea.
"Sure. We could both use it."
"You ready Don?!" I shout from the other end of the arena. There's only 13 feet between us but still. On the sides of us, I hear Akira and the others (of my gang) placing bets. Most of them are on me.
"Yeah!" Don yells back, excitement evident in his voice. I laugh to myself a little before starting.
"Flying Blades!" I yell as I leap 12 feet in the air and throw 3 daggers made of rock at Don. He immediately creates a shield of rock to block my attack.
"No warning?" Don questions sarcastically.
"No warning." I state grinning. Don pulls back his barrier to show his own broad grin.
"Okay then...", Don states as he places his hands to the bare ground, "Higher and Higher!" The ground level raises beneath me and I already know what he's about to do as he raises me 15 feet into the air. Right before he yanks the earth out from beneath me, I create a cloud and float back to the ground.
"Aww, at least give me a chance." Don mockingly pouts as the cloud disappears and I land on my feet.
"Then you should try a little harder", I say smiling. I draw fireballs into the palms of my hands and more appear behind me, " Flaming Spirits!"
"Here, Don. Ice pack." I say handing him an ice pack for the burn on his cheek. 'He needed a tan anyways.' I think almost laughing.
"Thanks." He says, flinching a little as he places the ice pack on his cheek.
"I told you Tohru-nii would win." Akira and Trina say as they pocket the money they'd gained from Sterling and Zane.
"Thought she'd go easier on him. Guess not." Sterling says, slightly disappointed.
"Nope." I say, getting a bottle of water from the fridge.
"Tohru, will you help me with lunch?" Maya asks, as she stands in front of the main oven.
"Of course." I say smiling.
Anyone curious about Flaming Spirits, comment.
