INTRODUCING - JAPAN!
Part 5
Pan looked at the guy standing in front of her, the corners of her mouth turning up in a smile. "What are the rules?"
She and Aota were alone in the Judo room (or whatever you called it) as the other three guys were told to stay outside.
Aota replied with a smile of his own. "No rules."
"This is going to be fun, and you're going to regret it."
"We'll see."
"In that case-" Quick as lightning she lowered her body in a spin with one leg out. Caught in surprise, Aota nevertheless managed to jump up high. Within seconds, a fight between the two broke out.

Still muttering under his breath, Sakuragi entered the school's gym. Akagi and the others were already there, doing warm-ups.
"Hey Sakuragi, wait up!" Yohei shouted from behind him. He turned to find the Gundam hurrying towards him. He stopped to wait for them.
"Where were you guys?" The redhead asked his friends who usually accompanied him to basketball practice.
"Gomen, it's just that we found out there's a new pachinko parlor opening. So we went to pay a visit to the place but got thrown out instead." Yohei, Noma and Yuji glared at Takamiya. "We wouldn't have been if Takamiya here had shut his mouth."
"Heh heh, gomenasai." Takamiya rubbed his head where three fists had landed earlier.
BONK! One Gori punch came into contact with Sakuragi's head.
"Hey!"
"That's for being late! As punishment you have to stay an extra hour today!" Akagi, the captain of Shohoku's basketball team, boomed. He glared at Sakuragi for a few moments before his forehead wrinkled in a frown. The captain looked left and right, as if searching for something or someone.
"What is it Gori? Lost your banana?" The Gundam wisely dragged Sakuragi away before another punch landed on his head.
But Akagi ignored his remark. "Where's Pan? She's usually here trying to defuse the situation."
It was true. Although it had only been a week, she had crawled her way into everyone's heart (Rukawa?) with her trademark smile and rambunctious, hyperactive behaviour. She shouted cheers and encouragement for the whole team in a voice which could rival the Rukawa shinetai. Pan didn't involved herself in the game, as she was pretty clueless about basketball except for the fact that you have to put the ball through the hoop to score points.
And so, practices became livelier than before with the addition of Pan.
"Yeah, where is she?" Ayako asked as she approached them. "She always came to practice with you and them." She tilted her head in the Gundam's direction.
"Hmph. She went with Aota to fight." Sakuragi placed both his hands into his shorts. "Forgotten about the deal." He continued muttering under his breath
"Nani??!!" Everyone except Rukawa and Kazuha shouted in disbelief. There was a general sweatdrop all around.
"I SAID SHE WENT-" BONK! PRAK! A punch and a paper fan landed at the same time on his head.
"What did you do that for?!"
"You BAKA-" Akagi started.
"Crazy-" Ayako and Miyagi continued.
"Bakabakashii-" Followed by Mitsui.
"Do'ahou." Rukawa finished.
"Urusai! Teme Kitsune!" Sakuragi raged at the last person.
"You left her all alone to fend off Aota?!" Ayako tried to confirm the situation.
"She can take care of her self, after all she's a fighter." The Gundam nodded in agreement.
"SHE IS A GIRL!" Akagi roared. Although he had heard of Pan and her fighting skills, he still could not believe the small, petite girl could actually be involved in something so. ungirly. Granted, she was a tomboy but there was a certain fragility associated with girls that was present in her.
"Cheh! If you don't believe me, ask her to a fight - you'll find out for sure."
"Yeah, you guys should have more faith in her." Yohei inserted, although there was a slight worry in his tone.
"Do'ahou." This time it was Kazuha who muttered the word.
"Teme Aisu!" Sakuragi immediately turned on her.
PRAK! PRAK! Kazuha and Sakuragi both turned to glare at Ayako.
"It's no use fighting over it, we may as well continue practice - I, for one after thinking it all over, have confidence in Pan. She's the spunkiest female I've ever met."
"Hai hai." The others agreed.
"Well then." Akagi said slowly. "PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE!"
"HAI!"
*****
"You broke my glasses." Pan stared at the broken remains of her favourite sunglasses. Her face changed dramatically from the usual sunny expression to a chillingly cold mask. Her green eyes narrowed to slits and in a low voice, "Now you're gonna pay."
Aota gulped. He was starting to have second thoughts.
*****
[Stupid, foolish, irrational girl.] Rukawa looked again from the corner of his eyes for the thousandth time for any sign of the said girl. It was nearly the end of practice and they had not even seen her shadow. [Not to mention irritating.] The blue eyed boy frowned. The girl had been in his mind lately - cheering, laughing and in some just smiling softly at him.
He looked up, as the rest of the team, as a body stumbled lazily into the gym.
[Pan!] His mind shouted at her rumpled state.
One sleeve had a tear, her hair pointing in all directions and one arm was hanging from her side, as if it was lifeless. There was also no sign of her everpresent sunglasses. Her trademark cheerful features were gone, replaced with an ominous one.
It was a totally different Pan from the one they knew.
Ayako approached the scowling girl slowly. "Erm, Pan-san, are you okay?"
Pan shook her head slowly. "I am but I'm not sure the Judo captain is." A frighteningly chilling smile formed in satisfaction. "I beat the crap out of him."
'Nyahahahahahahahahahahaha! I knew you would!" Sakuragi slapped her back. Pan winced slightly but her behaviour immediately changed into the usual Pan everybody knows as she joined Sakuragi in his laughter.
[Do'ahou! Couldn't you see she's hurt!] Rukawa cursed the redhead at Pan's wince. He gripped the ball in his hands tightly. In a sudden movement he threw the ball at Sakuragi.
"Itai!" Sakuragi shouted as the ball made contact with the back of his head forcefully. "What's your problem?!" He jumped at Rukawa and a brawl quickly ensued.
BANG! BANG! (Rei : A lot of these had been going around today ^^) The Gorilla loomed over Sakuragi and Rukawa, who were nursing their bumps.
"Enough! We need all the strength we have for tomorrow's game against Ryonan!"
Both boys stop all movement and simultaneously uttered the first thing that came into their mind.
"Sendoh."
"Nani?!" Pan shouted.

Please do!
