Chapter #5 Karate?.....a no contact sport?!


"Hey Kimmy"Ashley yelled excitedly into the end part of the receiver.
"..oh hey Ash"Kim replied as she waited for the ringing in her ear to subside.
"I just came back from Duo's. Me Steph, Quatre, Heero and Duo did our homework together. Anyway, they're having a party on friday after Karate. You coming?"
"well I guess it's better than staying in an empty house seeing that my parents are gone for a week"

"Yay!...oh yeah. You gotta wear something nice okay?"
"...why?"Kim asked a bit curious.
"...ah just trust me okay"Ashley said as she hung up the phone.

Kim hung up the phone moments later once she realized Ashley had left the conversation. She walked around her room as she began to dress for Karate. As she tied up her Obi, she gave the clock a very quick glance.

"OH NO!...5:45!....I'll be late"

She grabbed her backpack and ran off down the stairs.running out the door she met up with Ashley who to,had just arrived at the Dojo.the Two girls hung up their jackets as they made their way into the Dojo.

Kim went to mark her self present as she noticed Duo talking to one of the Sensai.Kim didn't know the boy very well so she didn't interupt.turning back to the register Kim made a check mark across from her name.At that time Ashley slid over to Kim.Ashley crossed her arms as she stared at Duo."...what is HE doing here?"she said with a discusted look on her face as she watched Duo intently.

Kim shrugged"...i dunno...maybe he's joining up"
"..he better not be"Ashley replied in a sassy manner.

"Everybody...One Line"the Sensai bellowed out as everyone took their places.the highest belt to the lowest.

"we have a few new Karateka with us today"Ashley and Kim looked at each other and blinked a couple of times in abit of a confused way.

"come in guys"the Sensai said mentioning his hand for the boys to come in.
Kim and Ashley watched them file out one by one,never failing to bow respectively.

the two girls looked at each one carefully.Kim's eyes fell apon Heero's intense,blue eyes.he obviously haven't forgot about there first encounter in the corridor of school.Kim thought to her self as the dark haired boy continued to glare at her.Ashley in the meantime was giving Duo the same hard glare that was so receptive on Kim.

The trio(Heero,Duo and Trowa)exicuted the warm up,basics and Kata exercises perfectly.after all they were trained for battle and combat so,fighting did seem to come natural to them.

Kim and Ashley watch in amazement."....for white belts their pretty damn good..."Ashley said whispering into kim's ear.not taking her eyes off of the boys.

Suddenly Steph appeared,dragging a very red Quatre behind her.Steph sported a very tight tube top that read"Karate Kicks Ass"she had Quatre in a skirt and t-shirt with matching pom-poms.

"Q-man you look so cute in drag"Steph cooed and then pinched Quatre's bum."...now let's cheer!!!"

"GO KIMMY...GO ASHLEY!!!!"
"YAY!"
Steph jumped up and down shaking her hands as Quatre jumped as well flinging his pom-poms about.

Kim rolled her eyes and stuck out her tounge at Steph and Quatre. Ashley looked to Quatre and perked a brow wondering how she actually can get a guy into wearing that stuff.

"3 step sparing. Trowa, Duo and Heero, i'll have you 3 paired up with someone"the Sensai said as he studied the group.

Ashley clenched her eyes closed as she crossed both her fingers"...oh please please please not me.....not me.."she mumbles incoherently.

"Um. Duo...your with Ashley"the Sensai demanded.
"...oh hell"Ashley said crossing her arms as she glared to Duo as if saying"i'm gonna kill you".

"Trowa your with Daniel and Heero.....with Kim. You two are about the same height so it should work out perfectly fine"the Sensai said in a confidant tone.


Kim blushed."he's going to kill me!!!"
Heero made his way over to Kim as he stood in front of her. glaring down at her. The same look he had always given her. The same cold, shallow, lonely, hatred stare that sent cold shivers up Kim's spine.

"focus"he said in a cold and distant voice.
"..HEY!...who's the senior belt here buddy?"Kim stared at Heero with an accusing expression on her face. staring at Heero seemed to challenge him. Heero smiled evilly as he jumped back into a fighting stance"...bring it!"

"no count. Go your own speed! GO!"the Sensai shouted.

With that Heero took off punching at Kim randomly.
Kim miraculously blocked every punch successfully."...he's going to kill me!!"Kim screamed.

"IT'S SUPPOSE TO BE A NON-CONTACT SPORT"she shrieked.
Heero had Kim backed into a corner. she was crouched down and whimpering"..not fair not fair!"
Heero attempted to advance but just as he stepped up, Kim nailed Heero in the forehead with the palm of her fist. A huge smacking sound was heard. leaving a big red mark on Heero head she blinks in amazement as she let out a sigh of relief.

Heero stood in disbelief as he rubbed his aching forehead. Kim crept away and ran to the other side of the Dojo.

At that time Ashley and Duo began to fight.
"it's not my fault your cockeyed!"Ashley screamed at Duo.
"COCKEYED!!!?"Duo pounced on Ashley as he brought her to the floor with a loud thump.

"take it back!"Duo was sitting on Ashley. Ashley reached up as she grabbed Duo braid at the back of his neck".....NO!."Ashley pulled down on his braid and laughed evilly"..heel"she commanded as they began to roll around on the floor.

"..you'll pay you little brat"Duo replied as he shook her violently. they rolled into the glass mirror at the front of the Dojo as they then stopped.they lay on the floor out of breath,tired and Duo on top of Ashley.they both breathed in hard ,gasping of air as they looked to each other not saying anything.Duo's head lowered as Ashley's began to tilt upwards.Ashley blinked as she looked to Duo's eyes then to his lips.getting closer the two graze each other's lips as Ashley then jumps up wrapping her hands around Duo's neck.

"don't touch me again shit head.you perv!"Ashley bellowed as she shook him violently.
Duo was turning a pale blue when the Sensai broke it up.they automatically turned a beat red as they noticed all the eyes staring at them in disbelief.

Steph snapped her fingers."damn.....soooo close"she stomped her foot as she looked at Ashley and Duo.

"it's all your fault"Ashley said pointing to Duo.
Duo replied with a death glare.Heero stood still in the corner rubbing his reddened face.

Steph and Quatre stood staring at the scene.Quatre looked from Heero to Duo and then back again."oh dear..."he muttered.Steph just blinked.

A 7:00pm class ended. Kim hurried home as she said good bye to Ashley on her way home.going into her house Kim closed the door behind her and made her way up to her room.after getting a shower and getting dressed for bed she made her way to her window.opening it she looked out into the dark walkway that was lit up by dimmed street lights.sitting on her window sill she looks to a figure in the dark.it was defiantly Heero. The unmistakable strut with the leather jacket.leaning against the wooden finish she watches Heero walk into the darkness until out of sight. Kim sighs as she then heads for her bed.taking out her homework she then works on it hastily
