Chapter 14
ripping record to inside the tournament
Bokuto: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 2nd Opening of the Edo Tournament. I'm Kyotsu Bokuto!
Kitomi: And I'm Tusana Akitomi! Just call me Kitomi. -giggles-
Bokuto: We are gathering here today for the best this year. Hopefully, this year will be better than the last, don't you think, Kitomi?
Kitomi: Yes, I do see some familiar faces and some new faces. Oh, I'm so flattered by a few handsome faces than last year! No offense, but there were too many old people! -giggles and waves at the handsome competitors-
Bokuto: O...kay moving on, um, everyone has picked a number as you can see that we've placed them on the board here next to me, so, back to you, Kitomi.
-men screaming and yelling behind Kitomi on the floor; except for Jin-
Kitomi: My goodness, you men are wild! Oh yeah, Kitomi's here on the floor and the men are ready to battle for the chance to win two thousand wulongs! Yay! Since last year's tournament had too many deaths which have captured interest for some of you folks out there, though, overall it became boring, so, here are the new rules for this year's tournament:
1:Fighters, if your opponent is pronounced dead by the referee, you'll be automatically disqualified! -the men's booing- Yeah, that's right, no deaths in this year's tournament, you guys!
2: Running or walking out of the ring, ha, you bet your ass, you guys, that you will be brought back in the ring by the guards of the this year's tournament and you will continue it on! So, don't think about escaping! -the men's booing again-
3: Fainting in the ring, we'll just throw water on you, and throw you out of the tournament! -the men's booing again and a few were pouting like babies- Oh, come on, we don't want weaklings this year!
4: Knockouts, we'll just throw you out of the tournament! We need strong men here, folks! You all must be worth fighting for and no time wasting! -a few men's growls and others just continue booing-
5: And lastly, no sissy slapping, biting, nail scratching, and pulling hair! We don't want pansy fighters today; no offense! But you can use your swords for minor scratching, though! -the men's stop screaming and yelling- Or maybe damages that are not too major, but no death-stabbing in the heart, stomach and cutting off heads like last year, hmm? -scared to look behind her for a moment and getting feeling of eyes narrowing down behind her, then, she slowly turns around facing them all waving her hand in her face; giggles-
-crickets-
-whispering- Um, I did say no offense. Well, back to you, Bokuto. -giggles and tiptoes away from the men, which some looking at her with blank faces and a few angry faces; except for Jin; he's just waiting for a battle and staring at Fuu in the audience with that oh-so handsome smile-
Bokuto: -looking on over at the benches and thinking while rubbing his forehead- Poor Kitomi, tsk...tsk... At the wrong place, at the wrong time. Last year, she almost got nearly rape by a bunch of gray hair, dirty old men, hmph, maybe it was late hormones wanted a piece of her. -clearing his throat and now announcing- So, let's start with our first-two competitors, shall we? Let the tournament begin!
ripping the record on the benches
On the benches, there was Jin (number four), Mugen (number thirty-one), Lumpy (number fifteen) and the other thirty-two competitors were sitting on benches line-up in order for the fight.
"Ah man, what stupid rules," huffs Mugen. "The rules for this tournament get dumber and dumber," he shrugs leaning against the wall with his hands placed behind his back.
"Hm." said Jin while ignoring Mugen complaints about the tournament's rules.
"Hey, are you listening to me?" frowned Mugen looking at Jin while still lying back against the wall. "Looking at Fuu, huh?" he said lowly.
"Hm." smiled Jin at Fuu in the audience and still ignoring him.
"Whatever, you know that female announcer over there, she's one hot bitch, don't you think?" Mugen grins. "But she probably wouldn't go all the way like Ana," he smirked licking his lips pervertedly at Ana in the audience. "Oh yeah, she's such a naughty whore and I can't wait to win her, shit, fuck the money.
"Hm." said Jin still looking in the audience at Fuu.
"Ahhhh, whatever, you're boring!" Mugen yelled at him sitting up. "What am I'm talking about, I can be boring, too, oh well, so is life," he mumbles while leaning back again with a big sigh.
"Hm." Jin chuckles a little at Mugen's frustration.
"Errrrr...I think he's doing this on purpose," thought Mugen looking at Fuu and Ana in the audience.
Fuu was sitting about ten inches away from Ana and her younger sister Sana, who later join the two on the visitor's benches watching the first fight.
As the fight went on, the tournament so far had nine knockouts, seven disqualifications; yes, you guessed it, the fighters was disqualified for killing their opponent, six ran out; but lost anyways when the guards brought them back into the ring to fight; huh, talk about fat chances, five fainted; they got splashed with water and were thrown out of the tournament, three walked out; though, they had suffered the same penalty as the running out of the ring rule number two, and amazingly no sissy fights, yet! Now it's down to four competitors.
Kitomi: -sitting at the bench with Bokuto announcing tournament thus far-This has been amazing this year, what do you say, Bokuto?
Bokuto: Thus far, it's the best than last year! Now we've come down to four competitors!
Kitomi: Wow! Up next, we have Jin (number four) and an unknown competitor (number twenty-two), who's enormous and slobbers over himself! Eww, how disgusting! –gagging and coughing- I'm okay, here our first-two semi-finalists, folks!
Bokuto: -chuckling to himself- We really don't want to see Jin get eaten by that slob. He come this far now with three knockouts against his opponents!
Kitomi: I pray that he does his best. -shaking nervously while eating her dumpling-
Jin steps in the ring and the competitor (number twenty-two) roars in the middle of the ring as he raises his hands up at Jin trying to scare him, but that didn't bother him at all. Jin is just here to win the prize money for him and his companions to go to Nagasaki and spend lost times with Fuu. The referee steps in between them, "Okay, you two know the rules," the referee reminded them. "NOW LET'S GET IT ON!" shouted the referee striking his hand downward to begin the fight.
"Yay! Go Jin!" cheered Fuu as well as the audience cheering along with her for Jin to win this match because the fat slob is just disgusting!
"GET HIM OUT OF THERE, JIN!" shouted a man in the crowd.
The fight has begun; the competitor roars at Jin again, except this time Jin took a step facing him eye to eye, "What are you waiting for?" Jin grins.
Then, suddenly the competitor started to tremble in fear as flashbacks of all of Jin's battles in the tournament seems to make him even more nervous to start attacking him. He knew Jin was fast and swift with his sword.
"Go, Jin! Finish him!" shouted Fuu.
Jin places both hands on one of his swords and clicks it with his thumb. However, when that happened, the competitor was frozen where he stands and fainted backwards as the he shook the ground.
"What the-," said Jin looking down at his opponent on the ground.
-the crowd cheers-
"Whoo-hoo! You did it, Jin!" claps Fuu with overexcitement and blushing.
Jin looks at Fuu in the audience and smile at her with a little nod as she begins to blush even more placing her hands on her face.
Kitomi: Well, what do you know, folks! (Number twenty-two) has fainted! Jin is the winner of this match with a total of three knockouts and one faint. That was a crazy unexpected match!
-the crowd scream like crazy as Jin right hand was raised by the referee-
Bokuto: Yeah, what a giant slob! Guards!
The two guards come running over with a bucket of water, splashes the fat competitor with it, the competitor came out of his unconsciousness but he couldn't move, so then the two guards just look at each other.
"What now?" asked guard number one to the other guard in a whisper.
"I don't know," replied guard number two whispering back to him.
"WHY DON'T YOU ROLL THE FAT SON-OF-A-BITCH OUT OF THE
TOURNAMENT, YOU TWO DUMBASSES!" shouted Mugen on the bench. "I'M HERE TO WIN A BITCH AND YOU TWO BITCHES ARE JUST WASTING MY FUCKING TIME!" he screamed out loud.
"Hmph, look who's talking about being a dumb ass," thought Fuu in the crowd placing her elbow on her left leg and resting her chin in her hand.
The two guards nodded in agreement and place their hands under him. They barely try to
roll him out of the ring, so Jin assists to help them and all of them pulls him up and pushes forward rolling him out of the ring. Moments later, Jin returns back to the bench with Mugen and Lumpy.
Bokuto: Okay, up next our last two semi-finalists is Akito Marusagi (number fifteen) and Mugen (number thirty-one)
Kitomi: Oh my, they look like mad blood thirsting competitors, folks! Is he the younger brother of Asuka Marusagi?
Bokuto: Sure is, Kitomi! And this is Akito's first year in this tournament as well as Mugen.
Kitomi: Well, this is going to be interesting! Let start the next match!
Mugen and Lumpy (Akito) steps in the ring.
"Well, it's about fucking time, don't you think?" Mugen grins.
"Hell yeah, it's just about that time," sneered Lumpy.
The referee walks in between them, "You two knows the rules," the referee reminded them.
"YEAH, I KNOW THE DUMB RULES, NOW LET'S FIGHT BECAUSE MY HORMONES ARE JUST JUMPING ALL OVER THE FUCKING PLACE, WILL YA, screamed Mugen in the referees face.
The referee takes a big gulp, "Sure, LET'S GET IT ON!" he shouted striking his hand downward then quickly moves out of the way.
"Bring it, bitch!" Lumpy taunted him.
"Mugen unsheathes his sword running towards him, "Ahhhhhhhh, take this!" he swung his sword, but misses him.
Lumpy continue to dodge skillfully while Mugen still swinging nothing but air.
"Come on, you bastard, and fight me!" ordered Mugen.
"Fine, here I come, you punk," Lumpy yelled.
He ran forward at Mugen with full speed as he unsheathes one of his swords, passes him and appeared behind him standing unharmed in just a matter of seconds. Mugen stood frozen in his tracks.
"What the hell just happen?" Ana wonders in the crowd. "Oh my goodness, Mugen!" she shouted out to him.
Mugen eyes has wided as he turns around looking at him with a chuckle, "Hmph, is that the best you can do?" he said to him.
"Take a look at your shorts, you stupid punk," Lumpy snickers with his back still turned away from him.
Mugen looks down at his shorts in the front and realizes that he just came all over himself.
"Ahh, dammit! What now?" he questioned himself.
"Shall we continue?" smirks Lumpy turning to face him.
"You bet because I'm not going to let this matter bother me," he growled.
"Really, I thought you were going to continue wetting yourself, hmm?" Lumpy chuckled with amusement.
Then suddenly, Mugen jumps in mid-air with his sword raising it up as he shadows over him and Lumpy quickly dodge out the way. When Mugen landed on his feet, he turns and runs alongside him with sword clashing and then they jumped back.
"I'll kill you for trying to take my whore away from me, you sick bastard!" yelled Lumpy.
"Fuck you, because I'm going to win her," he smiled.
The fight went on for twenty-three minutes, and then it all came to an end. Lumpy and Mugen were both getting tired as they both stumbling and trying to keep their balance.
"I…I give up, you…win, Mugen, you can have her!" he said tiredly, and then passes out in the ring in front of him.
"About fucking time, you old ass bitch, you probably couldn't handle her anyways!" said Mugen breathless falling down onto his knees and looks at Ana waving at him, so, he just nods his head at her and then stood up slowly.
"Wow, he's just so amazing!" surprised Ana.
"He was the best, sister, you should marry him," said Sana with her mouth full of food.
"Oh, shut up, Sana! Way to go Mugen!" she cheered then runs over to him.
"That was great Mugen!" excited Fuu cheering and clapping her hands.
-the referee runs over to Lumpy and checks for a pulse; he was reported still alive-
Bokuto: Guards, you know what to do!
-the two guards splashed him and carried him out.
Kitomi: An amazing battle, which believe was one of the longest than last year! Though, it doesn't matter anyway because it was show to me! –giggles-
Bokuto: -laughing loud- I totally agree with you, Kitomi! For you folks, we are going to have a ten minute break and we will come back with our 2nd Opening of the Edo Tournament finalists with Jin (number four) and Mugen (number thirty-one).
Kitomi: Yes, the snack bar is open, so, order what you can, folks because you don't want to miss this!
