Chapter 2: Five for Fighting
"Please… come with me, it's the least I can do for tripping you before." Kitten said bringing her to a group of kids.
"But…. But I-"
"No need to thank me…this is my group. There is Jinx," a girl with pink hair waved, "Gizmo," a short kid in green crossed his arms clearly annoyed, "and Mammoth," a tall boy with orange hair grunted. "And me of course…all we need is y-"
"C'mon Kori…let's go." Dick said grabbing her hand gently and began walking towards his group. Kitten pouted. Kori followed him.
"Thank you." Kori whispered into Dick's ear.
"No problem."
"OK! Class we are continuing on Martial Arts today. Our new principal insists on it." Mrs. Brooks said loudly.
"Slade…" Dick spat, as if the word was poison.
"Each student grab a mat and bring it to your group." She continued. They did as told. "We will first work on basic punching, kicking and blocking." Mrs. brooks boomed, "Two people on the mats at a time…the rest are the spotters. I will be coming around to check."
"Maybe Kori should go last." Dick said considerately.
"Ok up first is BB and Cy." Raven announced. The two start up quickly and began to punch and block each other. Cy hit Gar square in the chest and the green haired boy was beaten.
"Oh yeah!" Cy said joyfully. Kori took her gaze off him and laid it on Dick and sighed. He was going against Raven now. Dick noticed her stare and smirked. He continued to fight. It wasn't long until Dick won. Kori walked over to the victor and congratulated him.
"Thanks but…. it's your turn. Are you ready?" Dick asked.
"Yes, but I must you… I am pretty good." She smirked.
"Oh yeah?" Dick said playfully.
"LET THE MATCH BEGIN!" Cy and BB yelled in unison. The two in the arena smiled at one another. Kori started with a back handspring leading to a high jump kick. Dick was shocked at her flexibility and speed but dodged the attack in the nick of time. He started throwing punches but she dodged them elegantly. Kori then preformed the perfect roundhouse kick and hit him with deadly accuracy. From that Dick did a flip and landed firmly on his feet and a hand, with his other he rubbed his aching chest.
"You are pretty good." Dick said, "But are you good enough?" He added. She flashed a confused look. He quickly did a low kick. Kori fell on the soft padding then rolled to the side to avoid a hammer punch. She jumped up in fighting position and smirked. Kori jumped and did yet another high kick. Dick dodged; she landed in a crouched position on a far mat. Rich ran to her, which ended to be another stand still. They stood about 5 feet away looking at each other.
"I guess I under estimated you, Richard Grayson." Kori said playfully still crouching on the ground.
"So did I," Dick said. She tried again attempting to catch him off guard but Dick was two steps ahead and parried. They continued once again. They were both quick on their feet and avoided most of the blows.
"How long do you think this will last?" Raven asked monotonically to Cyborg and BB.
"All period." BB said with a smile. Cyborg was fixed on the little fight.
"Come on… Come on…" was all Cyborg said. A crowd began to form around the two, but it seemed that…they didn't notice, so they continued. They both grew weary. 'I…finally…found someone up…to my level' Dick thought faintly. The teacher stopped them, as Dick was about to dodge an up coming punch.
"Magnificent!" Mrs. Brooks exclaimed.
"Yes…you are…quite…the…fighter!" Kori managed gasping for air.
"You were…quite…surprising…yourself." Dick said in the same state. Kitten pouted from the sidelines and stormed off. Vic, Gar and Raven began clapping, which was soon joined with the rest of the class.
"Great job!" James said.
"That was so cool!" Claudia said excitedly.
"Alright students! Back to your lockers." Mrs. B said loudly, "Wait! Kori and Dick…do you mind teaching the class some moves? You two seem to have more experience then I do." She added, throwing them a towel. The teens look at one another and then back at the teacher.
"Why not." They said in unison as they turned to leave for their locker rooms.
Girl's Locker Room
"What was that about?" Raven asked.
"The teacher wants us to instruct the class on Martial Arts!" Kori said joyfully.
"Cool."
Boy's Locker Room
After being asked the same question Dick responded, "We are gonna be teachers of Martial Arts!"
"Awesome!" BB said.
They all left the lockers…
"RING!" the bell rang loudly throughout the school, only seconds later the empty halls were filled with scrambling kids trying to reach their next class.
"Hey Kor? Dick tells me you have calculus next with me. Want me to walk you there?" Cyborg asked.
"Of course friend Cyborg." Kori responded.
"I'll see you in English Kori…gotta go to Social Studies" Dick said to her walking off with BB in a different direction as Cyborg and Kori.
"I have Study hall…see you guys later." Raven said wondering off.
"So…Kor…Do you always work out like that for gym?" Cy questioned. Kori didn't answer. 'I wonder if he likes me…' "Kori?"
"…Huh? Oh, I am sorry friend Cyborg…what did you say?" Kori said sweetly.
"…What's up?"
"N-Nothing! Everything is fine." She said with a weak smile. Vic didn't believe one word of it.
With BB and Dick…
"Hey Dick…Do you think me and Rae have a shot?" BB said.
"You and Rae…. right…." Dick said jokingly.
"Ya? Well what about you and Kori? Huh?" BB said as they walked into a yellowish colored classroom.
"Uhhh…."
Back to Kori and Cyborg…
"I can tell… something is bothering you."
"… There is…" she said lowly. 'I bet she likes him too…but I don't got anytime right now to play cupid.' Vic thought.
They arrived in the classroom. It was a light shade of blue with a large white board in the front of the classroom. The bell rang once more.
"Class…settle down." The teacher said loudly.
At Lunch…
"Did you two ever take martial arts lessons or something?" BB questioned as the topic came back to mind.
"I have, I don't know about you," Dick said looking at Gar then to Kori and smiled.
"I took some classes, not a lot." Kori blushed. Raven cracked open a book and began to read silently. Gar took one look at Raven and his eyes widened.
"Oh shoot! I forgot that essay for Mrs. Fowl breath!" BB grunted, "It's due next period!" He stated loudly.
"You mean Mrs. Fowl…and I typed it up last night." Cyborg said flashing his three-page essay in front of BB. Gar looked at Cy's essay and burned ink on his loose-leaf paper. Dick and Kori continued talking.
"You can call me Starfire…that's what my good friends call me." Kori reddened.
"Then you can call me…. Robin" Dick said in return.
"Ok…Robin." Starfire said with a grin. He smiled back. Kitten was outraged! She saw this whole thing from a near by table.
"I NEED to get back at that GIRL! NOBODY steals Richy-poo away from me and gets away with it!" She screamed, "but…how?" she put a finger to her chin.
"Would you like anything else?" a blonde haired boy with a leather jacket said slightly annoyed. He gave her a tray of assorted foods.
"Why…yes Fang, I would." Kitten replied with a devilish grin.
R&R...Be patiant Titan East fans, I first have to establish the 5 original Titans before I add more characters.
