Chapter 18

Tigoar vs. Viper

"Vixenly is alright. Broken heart moves to the next round." The announcer stated. He then looked to the fighter's area. "Will tigoar and viper please enter the ring?" Tigoar was flabbergasted at what Broken heart had said to him. "lover? The only person I ever truly loved was" he then shook his head "it can't be. She's in L.A." he then heard a voice call his name. "tigoar, please step into the ring, we need to get this match underway." The announcer called to him. "I'll find out the truth when I face her." Tigoar said to himself as he walked to the ring. Tigoar then entered the ring with Vipers defeat in mind. He looked at the man in his kilt "ok grounds keeper Willie, lets play." Tigoar then got into his stance. "fight" the announcer called then backed out of the ring, he knew that when tigoar fought, things could get dangerous.

"well Kyo have you ever seen tigoar fight." Jon asked. Kyo shook head. "we only sparred." He said. Jon laughed a little. "then you're in for a treat, when tigoar fights the moves are superb." Up at the stands the Sohma group was excited, even Akito was. "let us see how you really fight tigoar." He said to himself. Shigure watched as well intrigued by the one that had brought them here, that is until a rope looped around him. "I have you Shigure! This time you're not getting away from me." Mitchan said as she finished tying him up. "oh' please let me stay until the end." He whimpered to her. "fine but after this your hands will be chained to the pen, until that book is done." She said annoyed. "so how did you do it? The dog trick I mean." Shigure merely waved it off. "oh just a curse of the family, you pay no heed and watch the fight."

"I hate when people make that joke!" Viper said to tiger in a heavily Scottish accent. "I may be from Scotland, but please don't insult me." "alright I apologize; I was merely having some fun at your expense." Tigoar said amusingly. "then let us play." Viper said, then his eyes turned red. He then disappeared. "hypnosis? Oh please I already know where you'll be." Tigoar then did a partial turn and kicked. "oh so close." Viper whispered in his ear. Tigoar back flipped and landed near the edge of the ring. "let's take it to the next step, shall we." He then changed to his were form. "I shall enjoy constricting you." Viper said as he changed. His body was all tail and two arms. His scales glistened like the rainbow, he then hissed and showed his twin fangs that were dripping with venom. Viper charged but stopped three feet from tigoar. Tigoar instinctively jumped as the tail came in for a sweeping move. "shit, his fangs." Tigoar said as viper came at him. Tigoars hands shot out and grabbed the mouth before viper could bite. The tail curled around him and bound him. "I will squeeze the life from you." Viper hissed as he tried to get loose from Tigoars steel like hands. "two words scale head. breath mint!" tigoar said as he fought the pain. Viper squeezed some more. "oh yeah, try this!" tigoar then did the unexpected. He slammed vipers' jaws together. The fangs pierced the lower part of vipers mouth. He hissed in pain and started to let go. "oh, no you don't. you wanted a hug so here's some love punches." Tigoar started walloping on vipers face. After about twenty hits viper faked a fall and slithered out of the way. "come on now, I think it's time to make your grand exit." Tigoar said as he grabbed the end of viper's tail and started spinning. "let me go, I give up, you're not worth it." Viper hissed as he was spun faster and faster. "let go. Ok. So long, Mario style." Tigoar said as he let go. "viper sailed at the stadium and hit the bleachers. Tigoar dusted off his hands and walked out of the ring. "tigoar wins."
