Frankly my dear, I don't own fruits basket.
Chapter 28
Jon Talbain vs. Tetsuio
Akito was gritting his teeth as Kyo went back to the fighters' area. That damn Tigoar, it was all his fault. He had lost control all because of him. Now Akito was loosing all of his power over the family. He looked as they cheered on the freak; he looked at Hitori and grew even angrier. He was smiling! They didn't fear him anymore. They were free of him. Even Yuki was smiling and Akito knew for a fact that he hated the freak. He finally snapped. He slinked away as they waited for the new freaks to come out.
Jon entered the ring and looked at the guy with horns. "Didn't I see you in Arabian nights?" Tetsuio smirked at the comment. "Well weren't you in that stupid cursed movie?" Now Jon smirked. "Nope, but enough chit chat, time to fight." He howled then and changed into his werewolf form. The announcer then called. "Fight!" And Tetsuio lept at the wolf. Jon dodged and shook his finger at the goat monster. Tetsuio growled and slashed at the wolf. "Come on, fight me for real." He roared as Jon evaded again. Jon smiled at the words. "Ok then." He rushed forward and hit Tetsuio with a quick left and then a low kick to the thigh. Tetsuio backed up as Jon continued forward.
Akito quickly made his way to the fighters' area. He would take care of the problem. He removed something from his back. It was the sword that Tigoar had thrown at him when he had been first threatened. He smiled as he looked at his reflection in the blade. He entered the fighters' area; all eyes were on the two that were fighting. He moved up behind Tigoar and raised his knife. "I wouldn't do that if I were you." Tigoar said with his back still turned. "Oh and why would that be? You going to hurt me?" Tigoar chuckled for a moment. "Not me, him." He pointed behind his back and over Akitos shoulder. A large hand grabbed his wrist then. Akito turned and saw the one that had burned the large bear. "He is mine to kill." He then leveled his eyes to Akitos. "What ever grudge you have against him I will finish." He then threw Akito against the wall. Akito looked up slowly before he fell unconscious.
Jon continued to evade Tetsuios claw slashes. "You shouldn't always use the same attacks, they give away you're next move." Tetsuio tried to slash again but Jon grabbed the wrist. "Like so." He then brought his leg around and tripped Tetsuio, his hand was still locked on to Tetsuios wrist. "Time to go down." The momentum made Tetsuio fall as Jon brought his fore arm forward slamming Tetsuios throat into the floor. He let out a gurgled gasp as his windpipe was cut off. "Sorry pal, you lose." Jon said as the blow finished. But it wasn't over yet; Tetsuio had had his knee up and landed a low blow to Jon's crotch. He fell over as well holding his private parts. "Both are down for the count, which one will get up and move to the next round?" The announcer said as he watched the two on the ground.
Jon slowly rose to his feet as did Tetsuio. "That was bad move sheep boy. Now you've made me mad." He then let out a loud howl as Tetsuio covered his ears. He fell to his knees as the sound intensified. "Stop it! Stop it! Please, I give, I give, just stop the noise." Tetsuio began to hit the pavement with his head. "Stop the noise!" Jon stopped and looked at the crowd for a moment. They were all holding their ears as well and looking angry at him. "And Jon Talbain wins, and will the ringing in my ears stop please." The announcer said as he stopped holding his hands to his ears. Jon held out his fore paw to Tetsuio, and he took it. "Try again next time." Jon said to Tetsuio as they both exited the arena. "Would Tigoar and Draco please enter the arena?"
To answer your question, they do this in most animes. Besides I may have a couple twists in the next round, also it's going to be a long one.
