I don't own anything but the shirt on my back.
Chapter 14
Preliminary madness
Kyo heard a pounding on his door. He looked groggily at the clock and groaned. "7:30, stupid time shifts." "Come on Kyo, time to get ready." Tigoars voice said from behind the door. "Alright, I'll be down in a few minutes." He called. Kyo then got up, took a shower, dressed, and left. He was wearing his tan pants and black shirt. He then went and met tigoar in the lobby. He was wearing black jean shorts with the ends ripped up and a large t shirt. His t-shirt was red with black tiger stripes running down it. "Let's get to the tournament grounds." He said. "Where are the tournament grounds?" Kyo asked. "Right behind the hotel." Tigoar answered "let's go."
"What exactly are the rules?" Kyo asked as he and other weres gathered at the hotels stadium. Tigoar looked around for a second "the rules are simple, you win by knockout, ring out, or submission. Something to consider, the weres that can fly can't leave, the stadium grounds when in flight or their disqualified." They then looked at a list that was posted "wow, 256 of us showed up." Tigoar said as he stared at the list "there are sixteen areas." The then thought for a moment "that means there's 16 in each, which means you and I will fight four times today." "I think we should get to our groups, yours is group 15 and mine is group 2. I'll see you later." Tigoar then left and Kyo was alone.
Kyo looked at the board again and found his spot. "So I'm fighting a guy called killer rabbit? What the hell kind of name is that?" he asked out loud. Kyo then left for his area, when he got there, he checked in with one of the referees. "You're a little late; you're scheduled to fight after this one." The ref said then turned to the arena "Fuka vs. bomber." Two people stepped up. One was Chinese and supported a Bruce lee look. The other looked like he was from Australia.
"All right, you ause, bombers going to send you back." Bomber said as he squared up Fuka. He then came at Fuka trying to grapple him; Fuka side stepped and back kicked him, sending bomber to the floor. Bomber then changed, he was a large armadillo. "You're going to pay for that." He then rolled at Fuka. Fuka leaped over bomber and changed him self. He was a komodo dragon. Fukas tongue curled out and he hissed. Bomber came at Fuka again, hit this time, and began to grapple. Fuka reached out and bit bombers shoulder, bomber screamed in pain. Bomber shifted his weight and did a judo toss. Fuka flew out of the ring and hit the ground hard. "Bomber wins." The ref shouted. "Kyo Sohma vs. killer rabbit." Kyo took off his shirt and stepped in to the ring. A little rabbit hopped into the other side. "That's my opponent!" Kyo said in shock. The ref looked to him "the rules say you can enter in your other form. Fight!"
Kyo then went up to the rabbit and picked it up by the neck. "Aren't you a cute little thing?" He then proceeded to tickle it, suddenly the rabbits eyes showed red and sharp teeth bit Kyos hand "Ahh, get it off, get it off!" Kyo screamed as he began to smash the rabbit around. Kyo managed to get the rabbit of and it just laid there. The countdown began, at the rabbit suddenly sprang to life and leaped at Kyo. You simply ducked and the rabbit sailed over him and out of bounds. "Oh, drat." An English voice said as a small man landed on the ground. "Oh, this makes me so mad." The little man then left. The fights went on until it was Kyos turn again. This time it was a guy called Dober.
"Fight!" the ref said. Kyo looked at the man in front of him. He was thin but quick. "Come on, little boy." Dober goaded. Kyo came at him then and connected with a right. Dober fell back and grabbed his jaw. "You knocked out one of my teeth!" he growled. Dober then became a dog man, with one of his canines missing. Kyo stood still as Dober came at him. "Yuki uppercut!" Kyo screamed as Dober connected with his fist and sent Dober flying. "Sohma wins." The ref stated. "Two left." Kyo said as he exited the arena.
Kyos next match was against bomber "sorry kid but end of the line." Bomber stated as he got in. Bomber changed right after the ref said fight. "You can't knock me out of the arena kid." Bomber stated then snickered "lucks against you." Kyo finally showed his true form "then I'll just have to beat you senseless." Kyo came at him and clawed then leaped back. Four long gashes showed at bombers face, he screamed in pain and started for Kyo. Kyo backed to the edge then side stepped and him. "Ohle" Kyo shouted as bomber fell to the ground.
"Final round, Kyo Sohma vs. stag. Fight." The ref then got out of the ring. Stag came at Kyo and bashed his head making Kyo dizzy. Kyo then felt himself being picked up. "I'm not going to lose." Kyo said as he removed his bracelet. The change in weight caught stag off guard and he toppled to the ground. Kyo got up before stag and ax kicked him in the head. Stag was knocked out indefinitely. As he left the arena Kyos only thought was "I have my place."
