Note: So I left out a few details.sorry about that
Chapter 6?
Kiruchi rubbed her eyes. It was Misao, but she looked different from before. She now wore a lavender shirt with a purple hakama. She nudged Yahiko, who was standing beside her and pointed to Misao. He nodded and whispered," She never told when she came back." Kiruchi looked back at Misao. She was whispering into Aoshi's ear and she giggled. Aoshi smiled and nodded while Misao hugged him. This is probably her boyfriend.
She looked back at Shikono and walked off towards the bench for the Aoiya. The tournament consisted of two parts, budo and iaido. A pile of bokkens and bokutos stood in a corner. Shikono walked into the middle of the arena and threw a dice. It had landed on budo. Shikono explained the rules. It was going to be an individual battle instead of a whole group. The winner of each spar would advance to the next round until the finals. The winner would then receive an extra 10 for their score. The person with the highest score from each Dojo would then settle the score with a real sword fight until the first person to fall loses. Everyone nodded. The first match was Narumi against a boy named Koburo. Everyone on the Ushoiya team was a guy.
She walked up there with her arms shaking. Kiruchi knew that she was always nervous before a spar. They both slide into a fighting pose and waited until Shikono yelled GO!
(Approx. 7 minutes later o.O)
Narumi was panting heavily. She had just won one round and Koburo won the first. The third round would decide the match. GO! Narumi held her ground while Koburo sprinted all the way to her she ducked and kicked him in the ankles. He flinched and stopped. Narumi stood up and karate chopped him on the back. Korburo winced and fell. Shikono held up the navy blue flag. (Ushoiya's color is maroon.)
(27 minutes later.my lucky number n_n)
Yahiko was up next. He was sweating all over the place, stinking up the bench. Kiruchi was studying Usyoiya's techniques. Hm.They seem to like quick and steady. Defense would be great against them since they focus more on attack and speed. The score was 4-3. Kamiya with 4. When Yahiko's name was called he walked up bravely. Kiruchi grabbed his shirt and nodded at him. He smiled and did a thumb up.
He glared at his opponent who was a solid boy with sandy brown hair. Kiruchi and Soujiro knew that these two would be evenly matched. (8 minutes later)
It was the middle of the third round with one win apiece. Hatsuka had tried to punch Yahiko who dodged it by using the blow as his way up and kicked him in the ass. Hatsuka was shocked and slipped, but he wasn't down yet. He turned at Yahiko and did multiple kicks at him. Yahiko tried his best at blocking, but one too many kicks got to him. A bruise formed on his forearm and Yahiko's face started to get red. Soujiro smirked. "C'mon Yahiko! If you can't defeat this guy, then you'll never be able to defeat me." It was true though. Soujiro paid attention to Kenshin's boring lectures about attack and defense while Yahiko was drooling and sleeping. Yahiko glowered at Hatsuka and spread his legs apart wider. Hatsuka decided to finish him off with a sideswipe. He was raising his arm when Yahiko smirked and slid his leg to dodge the attack. The crowd cheered. Yahiko spun his leg around and knocked Hatsuka down. The score became 5-3.
He came running back with a grin on his face. Soujiro patted him on the back. "Th-Thanks Soujiro." Anime blush. Soujiro smirked. "I didn't want to see you loose that quickly. Yahiko's frog face appeared. (Chapter 4) "Anways, it's my turn. Ushoiya's students sure know how to keep a straight face. Too bad they won't know what hit them." Soujiro stood up and pranced there. (Yes, pranced) Yugaski was his opponent. He was rather tall with a gleam in his azure eyes. Narumi started drooling and wiped her mouth. Kiruchi shoved her away and knew that she was falling in love with Yugaski. Kiruchi glanced back at the arena.
(13 minutes later.)
Narumi was biting her fingernails franticly and was nervous of whom to cheer for. "Go Soujiro! Take that sucker down!" Kiruchi was careful not to cuss too much or else the judges would have to take off points. Narumi kept tugging on Kiruchi's gi top. The second round was over and Soujiro had lost. Instead of focusing on his defense, Soujiro had tried to use his speed as an attack, but ended up tripping over Yugaski's foot.
Soujiro spat on the floor and wiped his mouth, and stood up smiling. "That was a clever trick." Yugaski rolled his eyes. "Yea, whatever. Let's finish this." Narumi squealed and fainted. Kiruchi kicked her in the stomach. "Wake up." Narumi floated up into her seat. "I heard him talk." Her body turned into a jelly substance and she melted. One of those cross pissed off signals appear on Kiruchi's head.
The third round was starting as Soujiro had another big fat ass smile on his face. This time he let Yugaski lung first and jumped. He landed back on the arena floor, but before he could dodge again, Yugaski kicked him in the chest. Soujiro winced and gagged. Yugaski smirked and kicked him again. This time was harder and Soujiro fell to the floor. Kiruchi was shocked. "SOUJIRO!!!" Yugaski looked over at her. Narumi jumped back up with sparkles in her eyes. "OMG! OMG! He's looking over here." She looked at the floor and saw Soujiro lying there. "Soujiro."
Yugaski held his arm out towards Soujiro, but he didn't take it. He bent over clutching his stomach. "Dammit you bastard." He limped over and sat between Kiruchi and Yahiko who held out some bandages to him. Soujiro took them and started wrapping his chest with it. Kiruchi relaxed slightly. "They don't care how much they hurt us do they? Well, they're gonna pay for what they did to my friends." She gritted her teeth and walked up to the arena while tying her ribbon tighter around her head. She glanced over at the judge's table and saw Misao winking at her. She smiled slightly and climbed up the stairs and glanced at her opponent.
He was a tall 13-year-old boy with short black hair glimmering in the light. A lot of the girls in the crowd yelled out his name, Riokushi. She had to admit that he had a good appearance, but she didn't know how strong he was yet. He waved at the crowd and then faced her. "I'm not gonna go easy on you just because you're a pretty faced girl." She smirked and slid into her fighting pose. "I don't care what you think about me. I'm gonna take you down one way or another." He slid into his position. "You've got guts. I like that." Kiruchi disliked this guy after what he said. "Don't count on winning the tournament. Cuz your gonna havta go through me first. And I have a few tricks up my sleeve." She had gotten better and figured out what she could use with a sword and her fists.
(Flashback) Kiruchi was standing in the clearing practicing her budo and iaido combinations when she decided to focus all her fury on to her attacks. She swung her sword at a stump nearby and a fiery bird flew out of her sword. It swooped down and hit the stump, setting it on fire. She looked at the sword and at her fists. They were glowing an eerie red color. "But this is the legendary power of the phoenix." She flipped her hand over and saw the same symbol on the sword. A five pointed star with the element symbols of fire, water, wind, earth, and ice.
For the next hour, she trained using her knew skills and soon mastered them.
(Back to the tournament)
The first round was beginning and she let him lunged at her first trying to sideswipe her. She ducked and thought to herself. I'll let him beat me this first round so that I will be able to find out his techniques and how to defeat him. She punched him in the chest, but he didn't flinch like most people would've done. Instead he used his leg and kicked Kiruchi. She stood up and decided to now focus on her defense. She put her arms into a cross and blocked all his attacks until he found the weakness of the cross and kicked her in the side. She fell and Shikono held up the maroon flag.
Kiruchi rubbed her ribs and stood back up and saw Riokushi waving at his teammates. She glanced behind her and saw Yahiko giving her a thumb up. She nodded at stretched her arms. Riokushi turned around. "Now that wasn't too bad was it? Don't worry, you'll be feeling more of that now." He rubbed his fingers through his hair. "Are you even trying to impress me? Cuz if you are, then it's not working. I let you win that round." He stopped and glared at her with his dark blue eyes. "So you're saying that you went easy on me?" She nodded and slid back into a fighting position. He did the same and spat on the floor. Shikono's hand went down and Kiruchi sprinted towards Riokushi. He tried to sideswipe her again but she grabbed his wrist and started bending it down. He used the other arm but she did the same thing to it. She kicked him hard in the ribs and punched him again and again until he fell.
She panted heavily and went to her place on the arena. He wiped the trail of blood trickling down his mouth and walked back there. "You got lucky." She snorted. "I defeated you fair and square. You know it cuz you're the one who got creamed by me." He wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Well, maybe you're not that bad after all. But, I'm not gonna get beaten by a girl." She smirked. "Well, today's your lucky day because you're gonna get beaten by one right now!" Shikono's hand went down again. Riokushi ran to the edge of the arena and started running towards her. She had planned to show off her talent, but she thought of a without destroying the building. "Your head needs to cool down a bit. How about a lil Water Serpent Streamer (Yes, I know I'm not good with names)!" She thrust her fist forward causing a large stream of water to come out in a form of a snake. It opened its mouth revealing a pair of large fangs and disappeared, but the stream of water was still traveling towards him.
The water crashed into him and he hit one of the pillars that held up the arena and slid to the floor. Everyone was shocked at what she did, but luckily Riokushi slowly sat up. Shikono raised up the navy blue flag and everyone cheered. Kiruchi slid to the floor and rubbed her arms. The pressure of the serpent had reversed into her arms causing it to weaken her arms. The scoreboard flipped from 5-4 to 6-4. She stood back up and dragged her feet all the way to the bench and collapsed.
*** Tiger: Wow.that was weird. Don't you think so Fluffy? *pats rabid monkey*
