.: Chapter 37 :.
.: Part 3 :.
Nine o' clock finally came, making Tasara and her huge group of friends meet Jackie and Hakaru in the Obelisk Blue duel arena. Tasara had changed into long black pants, a red tank top, and red sweat bands around her wrists. Jackie and Tasara kicked their shoes off and walked onto the arena. Everyone stood around the arena, waiting for Hakaru to start the match.
"I'm worried," Diana said. "If Tasara gets hurt again there will be no way for us to get her help until tomorrow morning."
"Don't worry," Bastian said. "I bet she will be fine." He smiled and the two looked back up at the arena. Hakaru stood on the edge of the arena and shouted;
"Go!" he jumped out of the danger zone as Jackie and Tasara started their fight. Jackie, aiming for Tasara's stomach and Tasara aiming for Jackie's chest. Tasara was trying to figure out if Jackie was wearing padding under her clothes. Tasara was able to grab Jackie's shoulders, but Jackie grabbed her arms and threw her off. Tasara landed on the floor, but used a kick-up to get back onto her feet.
"Hmm," Jackie said, running towards Tasara. "Didn't Cho teach you that move?"
"Why do you keep bringing him up, Jackie?" Tasara said, grabbing Jackie's leg after an attempted kick. "This is between you and me! Our hate for each other never had to do with him."
"He was our friend," Jackie said. "When we were little." Tasara hit Jackie in the side sending her to the floor.
"I said; leave him out of this!" Tasara said, her foot know on Jackie's throat.
"He was our friend until his feelings for you grew," Jackie said. "I loved him and you stole him from me!" Jackie grabbed Tasara's ankle and pushed her away, sending her onto her back.
"So what if you loved him?" Tasara asked. "He liked me and you should have been happy for me instead of turning us away from you."
"If I don't get what I want, I become a very angry person," Jackie said. Tasara and Jackie got up and stared at each other for a moment. "How did he die again? A car accident?"
"Shut up..." Tasara said, looking at the floor. She looked up at Jackie. "You are just a selfish little bitch! You never cared about him! Now you have Hakaru so why are you still blaming me for taking Cho from you. You turned him away by turning your back on us when I needed you most."
"I know, I know," Jackie said. "I never cared about you getting abused. Always coming outside to hang with Cho and myself, bandages on your cheeks, arms, and legs. Your friendship only lasted with me until I feel in love with Cho. Then you became a threat."
"SHUT UP!" Tasara snapped.
"Bingo," Jackie said to herself.
"Why does she look so happy?" Jaden asked. "She's about to get her butt handed to her and all she has to do is smile?"
"You really don't know how toy fight do you?" Chazz asked. "When a person is to focused on hurting their opponent they leave themselves wide open for an attack. She wanted to make Tasara so pissed off she would only want to attack and not defend."
"In other words, Tasara is now just a target," Zeta said. Tasara, not looking out for her own safety, started to attack Jackie. Jackie was able to dodge most of the attacks. When Tasara went to punch her, she moved out of way, having Tasara punched the ground. Jackie ran behind Tasara, grabbed her arms, and held them behind her. Jackie laughed a little.
"Well, this seems very familiar," Jackie said. "Isn't this how it started before I broke your arm? Let's see if I can do it again!" She swiped her leg under Tasara's making fall, but before she hit the ground, Jackie kicked her in the side, sending Tasara over the edge of the arena. Jackie walked over to the edge of the arena and looked at Tasara as she tried to get up. "What broke this time? A leg? A arm?"
"...Nothing..." Tasara said, spitting some blood out of her mouth. "I landed on my back this time. You won't be so lucky once I get my hands on you." Tasara jumped back onto the stage and Jackie started to back away. Tasara ran up to her, grabbed her shirt sleeve, but when Jackie pulled away, the sleeve ripped off. She was wearing pads under her sleeves. "I knew it you lying son of a bitch!" Tasara was able to pull the pads off of Jackie's arms.
"This sucks," Jackie said. Tasara had thrown her onto the ground. She swiped her legs under Tasara's legs again, but Tasara landed onto her knees. She shouted in pain and fell back, holding onto her right knee.
"That will hurt in the morning..." Jaden said. Sy nodded in agreement. "Not just that, but she will be really mad." Jackie got up and walked over to the side to catch her breath. Tasara bit her lip as she started to wince. She got up and was having a little bit of trouble standing. Jackie grabbed a silver chain that was around her neck.
"Tasara, remember this?" Jackie huffed. Tasara looked up and around the chain was a gold ring. "Isn't this the ring you gave Cho after your third month of dating? Don't you still have yours?"
"I took it off before I came here," Tasara said. Tasara stood strait, trying to ignore the pain in her right knee. "How did you get his?"
"After the accident I went to the hospital to meet up with my mother after her surgery. Doctors came out of one room with Cho's full name on it. I overheard his death and was crushed. One of the doctors placed a box down that had his wallet, ring, keys, etc. in it. I took the ring out and I've had it every since."
"You took it?" Tasara said. "I hate you!" Tasara ran up to Jackie, grabbing the chain of the necklace. She hit Jackie upright the stomach and the chain snapped off of her neck. Jackie rolled off of the arena and landed on the floor.
"Jackie!" Hakaru shouted. He ran over to Jackie and helped her up. "This match is over. Jackie is injured and I have to get her help."
"Go before I turn you inside out," Tasara hissed. Hakaru and Jackie walked out of the arena. Tasara felt dizzy and started to fall over. She was confused when she didn't hit the ground. She looked up and Chazz was looking down at her.
"...I may hate you, but you did well," Chazz said. Tasara smiled slightly and took a deep breath. She threw the chain off of the ring and out the ring in her pocket.
"At least that shit is over," Tasara said. Zeta and the others walked onto the arena, Diana holding Tasara's shoes. Chazz laid Tasara on the floor and Bastian rolled up Tasara's right pant leg. Her knee was a little red. He put his hand on her knee cap. Tasara closed her eyes in pain.
"You didn't break anything," Bastian said. "When you get back to the room, Zeta, make sure they Tasara puts some ice on this. It may swell up over night so tomorrow, wrap it up. I don't want to see her knee all swollen in class tomorrow. Zeta nodded. With some struggle, Zeta got Tasara on her back so she didn't have to walk. They all headed back to the rooms.

Tasara sat on her bed as Zeta got out an ice pack. She tossed it to Tasara and she put it on her knee. Zeta also got out the bandages so she could wrap Tasara's knee before they went to class the next morning.
"Tasara?"
"Yeah?"
"I know that you care for Cho, but you also care for Chazz too."
"I don't care for Chazz."
"Well...how can you let Chazz in when all you have in your heart is Cho? Cho is gone, but Chazz is here. I miss Cho too, but can't you let Chazz in for once? Even as a friend."
"...I don't know," Tasara said.
"I want you to try," Zeta said. Tasara sighed and looked at her friend.
"Time for bed," Tasara said. She turned the lamp off and closed her eyes. Zeta jumped into her bed and hugged the stuffed Kuriboh (the one that Zane won her in chap. 12). She and Tasara fell asleep.
A/N: Tasara kicked butt and got Cho's ring back! Next, it's Valentines day and Chazz asks Tasara out for dinner!
Reviewers: He ASKS?
Yes, he does! Tasara, once again, feels a little sad about Cho not being there for V-Day, so Chazz decides to ask her to go out for dinner (dressy, by the way)! Who is there to spy on them? Jaden and Sy, of course! Please review!
