Part 7
Extracurricular activity
We join Kuzimicu out side of the school on the stairs waiting for
Motoko to get out of class. As the bell sounded Kuzimicu peered up to the sky and gazed into the shinning sun. The light from the sun made his blond hair shine. Other students passed by and Kuzimicu heard whispers from the other students: "Is that the new kid?" "Yeah think so, you hear what he did to The Rugby captain?" "Aren't him and Motoko going out?" "No, I think he is just in the Kendo club." Kuzimicu ignored them and waited for Motoko. She arrived a couple of minuets later and looked down at Kuzimicu. "Hey, lets go." Kuzimicu followed her to the Kendo club meeting place that resembled a dojo. "Get a stick and I'll introduce you to everyone, kinda." Kuzimicu grabbed one and started examining the quality. "Hey everyone, this is Kuzimicu!" Everyone turned and looked at Kuzimicu, some waved. Hitomi brushed her light red hair away from her soft skinned face and blushed. Kuzimicu had finished inspecting the blade and came to Motoko's side with the blade leaning against his shoulder. "Almost forgot, you need a kendo uniform on." She pointed to a rack of kendo outfits. "Go get one." Kuzimicu found one that fit and put it on; the rest of the club was already practicing. Motoko walked over to him with kendo stick on waist. "Alright now are you ready to take the acceptance test?" she said with a smile. She looks really mature right now; it's weird and awkwardly attractive. Kuzimicu thought.
"I suppose so, whom am I squaring off with?" Motoko motioned to a member and he trotted over.
"This is Zhao Shao, he's the lowest ranking member of the club." The two stared at each other for a while. "Say hi or something!" Motoko shouted at the two.
"Hi, it's a pleasure Zhao." Kuzimicu sized him up, he was a bit taller than Kuzimicu and had brown hair that covered most of his face, only his left blue eye was visible, it didn't look vary happy at Kuzimicu. Zhao did the same thing to Kuzimicu, Zhao put his hand on his weapon.
"Zhao! say hi or something!" Motoko shouted at him.
"Hi, lets begin." Zhao readied himself, Kuzimicu put his blade in front him and gripped it with both hands.
"Begin, I guess, don't hurt each other." Zhao drew his blade and tried to rush Kuzimicu. Kuzimicu knocked the attempted blow away, knocking Zhao off balance and leaving him open. He's lowest for a reason. It's over. Sigh Kuzimicu put his blade behind him with his left hand on it and his other close to it. Kuzimicu took a step, Zhao tried to regain himself but it was to late. Kuzimicu lifted his foot and placed it on Zhao's chest, "fall!" Kuzimicu put force behind his foot and toppled Zhao. Before Zhao could cry out in pain from the force being put on his chest. Kuzimicu brought his kendo stick to Zhao's neck and looked down at the defeated Zhao.
"Guess I win." Kuzimicu said as he stepped off Zhao and put his sword back to his waist.
"Kuzimicu you went a little overboard! Just thought you should know!" Kuzimicu helped Zhao up.
"I just needed absolute surrender, sorry if I worried you." He smiled as Zhao wiped off the dirt that came from Kuzimicu's shoe.
"Violent jerk..." Motoko said in a low tone. "Hey everyone,
Kuzimicu's in. And Zhao's still the lowest rank. Alright back to practice." Motoko looked over to Kuzimicu who was currently walking over to Hitomi. Hitomi was swinging her kendo stick in the air but saw Kuzimicu coming over and lowered it and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"I suppose I'll be seeing more of you, huh?" He smiled at her and she smiled back.
"Yeah..." She blushed, they stood where they were for a while silently. Motoko came over and looked at the two,
"are you gonna just stand there or are you going to do something?" Hitomi became red faced and quickly turned around and acted like she was doing something Kendo-ish. Kuzimicu just stood in his place, sword in hand.
"Uh, yeah stand back please." Motoko did so as Kuzimicu went into a trance like state. He held out his kendo stick under hand in his right hand with blade side up straight. He spread out his legs and brought his free hand, the left, up behind the end of the handle. He exhaled and pulled the blade back other hand still not quite gripping the handle. "Blades of the wind dragon!" He pushed the blade foreword and with that force he seemed to float on the mat floor, as it actually seemed like he was a dragon with white horizontal sword strikes encircling him. He skidded to a halt and held the thrust pose for about two seconds and then his foreword foot slipped and he fell and rolled on the matted floor. He stopped his self from rolling too far and his kendo stick followed bouncing. Motoko seemed surprised but not impressed, Kuzimicu had 'floated' about seven feet. But the only down side was that he couldn't fallow through with anything if he kept falling. Kuzimicu had gotten up and picked up his weapon. "I'll never be able to do that properly if I don't get better. And if I can't even do that then I can't go on to any better techniques. I've failed..." Motoko put a friendly hand on his shoulder.
"You're here to get better and besides no one is testing you." She said as she tried to cheer him up.
"I'm sorry but I have high self expectations. Some might consider it a curse but for me it's what drives me." He said as he looked up to Motoko.
"You can work on 'lades of the wind dragon' later. What else can you do?" Kuzimicu stood with a perplexed facial expression on his face. "You can do something else right?"
"I can do this combo, but it's pretty simple." Motoko just shrugged.
"Do something, something that you can pull off." As Kuzimicu prepared himself to do something that he could pull off a sudden bang was heard. The whole kendo club peered of to the main door to their area. In the door way stood the Rugby captain and behind him members of the rugby club.
"I'm calln' that Kuzimca kid out!" So where is he?!" He shouted, the other members looked around their ranks for a Kuzimca. Motoko and Kuzimicu just looked at each other with sweat drops coming down their sides. The rugby captain had something mumbled into his ear. "Scratch that, Kuzimicu is the guy I wanna talk to. Now where is he!?" The captain shouted again. Everyone in the kendo club looked at Kuzimicu but didn't saw a word, Motoko realize that Kuzimicu wasn't gonna stand up so she jabbed him in the side with an elbow. Do I have to? He raised his hand and stepped forward to the rugby captain and looked him in the eye. "You think you can sucker punch me like that and walk off? Naw see, I don't play that. We gonna finish this, put'em up!" The rugby captain put his fists up and began taunting Kuzimicu. I guess school is in session, alright ladies pull out your textbooks and turn the chapter whoop your ass! Kuzimicu put his kendo stick in his left hand and put his right in front with open palm. The two stared at each other for a while, the rugby captain bobbing and weaving at nothing. Kuzimicu just stood there with the same stance and a cold expression.
"Aren't you gonna make a move, pussy?" Kuzimicu said, the rugby captain was angered to say the least. He started to swing at Kuzimicu but Kuzimicu just batted the strikes away with his kendo stick, after the failed combo Kuzimicu punched him in the left cheek. The rugby startled backwards and rubbed his wound. "Wrong move, pussy." Kuzimicu taunted. This is a completely different side of Kuzimicu, it kinda cool ♥! Motoko thought as she gripped her kendo stick a bit harder. The fight just proceeded in the same way, rugby captain jabs, gets blocked, and Kuzimicu smacks him. The other member of the rugby club soon realized their president's plight. The other members soon began talking and put pressure on the vice president to help the president. He looked at Kuzimicu almost smacking the president around, he stepped forward and as Kuzimicu neared him he put his fists up. Another student, doesn't change things, I'll finish up with this lecture. Kuzimicu looked over to the vice president, he was almost shaking. While he looked the president saw an opportunity and put everything he had left into a punch he thought would win him the fight. Kuzimicu put up a hand and twisted the punch, which made the rugby captain loose his balance. Before he fell Kuzimicu delivered three quick strikes to the rugby captain: one in the face, another to the chest knocking the wind out of him, and the last to the stomach. After Kuzimicu inflicted the strikes the rugby captain fell limply to the floor. The vice president looked at the captain in horror, before he could make another move towards Kuzimicu he was already charging at him with his kendo stick. The vice froze in his spot and stared blankly. In a flash of light Kuzimicu was crouched behind the vice with his kendo stick leaning on his shoulder, he pulled his head up and stared at the rest of the rugby club with his cold glare. The rest of the rugby club looked at their vice president fall to his knees and then see his body flop completely to the floor.
"I'm giving you all a chance, take them and leave." The rest of the rugby club hurried to their fallen leaders. "And if you ever have a problem with the kendo club, come talk to me and we'll settle it." Kuzimicu said as the rugby club ran off and he stood up. Motoko went over to Kuzimicu and put her mouth next to his ear.
"Hey Kuzimicu..." He began to blush as she whispered into his ear. "I think you over did it again!!!" She shouted in his ear and he fell down and his kendo stick flew into the air.
"Don't be mean Ms. Aoyama," Kuzimicu said, as he actually looked hurt by her actions.
"Yeah, yeah just quit over doing it, ok?" She said as she tried to help him up. As he was getting up with the help of Motoko his flying kendo stick landed squarely on his forehead knocking him out. He fell to the ground again unconscious and with a red mark on his forehead.
"KUZI!!!" Hitomi shouted as she dropped her kendo stick and ran over to the unconscious Kuzimicu.
"He'll be fine." I wouldn't be attracted by a weakling, would I? Motoko thought as she dragged Kuzimicu back to Hinta house by his foot. "Kendo club is dismissed until tomorrow, good-bye."
"KUZI!!!" Hitomi shouted as Motoko proceeded to drag Kuzimicu home.
Note: I think I went a little over board with that last part...
