Well, Thunder… Red… it's been a long trip you guys. I'm nearing the end of the first part of three, yup. I've done quite a bit, or at least, in my eyes. Well, let's get crackin' shall we… I don't own DOA, any of their characters, or their venues and moves, but I do own my own original characters and moves. Here we go, you guys… hope you like this, Thunder, Red, and Tomi.

Two Years: Infamous

Jimmy Eat World

Pain

(I'll remember eventually.)

Gigs looked across the ring, after the long argument, at Hitomi, not even knowing what to expect, when to start, or what to do. Yet, Hitomi knew just what to do. She quickly moved forward, kicked him in the shin, to which he bent over a little, and she drew back one hell of a haymaker. Gigs went flying, as Helena watched, 'cause she had a few minutes before her match. Gigs was knocked back into place now, and he jumped up, spitting a little blood on the floor. As she moved in, he dodged low past a quick jab and threw one of his own, striking her in the ribs, then rising with a powerful broad kick to the chin. Hitomi was knocked into the air, to which he caught her in a quick side headlock, and held it, crashing in a Side-effect (It's a professional wrestling move that's really a lot stronger than people give credit to.) and rolling over, still holding the headlock, and turning it into a lock I call The World's Greatest No.2. (It's a cross face that lowers around the neck for choking, then you bar it with a half-nelson, as to cause pressure. Basically, the harder your half, the harder you choke. You sit on their back while you do it, as to pull up, and strain the back, by the way.)

After about 15 seconds, he let go, Hitomi coughing and gasping, then rolling out of the way of a stomp. She jumped up, with the push-up motion, and three pieced him off the bat, all three to the stomach, the last being heavy and knocking him back. He smacked into a wall, and saw a dainty gloved fist coming for his face. He did was his instincts told him to do, and he slid to the floor, even though his shirt was ripped a little because of it. He rose with a savage slashing elbow which caught her on the right side of her jaw, and stumbled her. Then he followed up with a haymaker that would've rivaled the one Ramsie hit Jann Lee with in the third chapter, if it was more powerful. Either way, she hit the ground, and he threw off his ripped up shirt, to which Helena giggled a little, looking at his muscular build. Zack, who had plenty of time, about 30 minutes, asked Ramsie who had moved in, around the time of the three piece, a question a few of you might be wondering…

Zack asked it in that famous high pitch asking tone "If Gigs is so much more muscular then you, why are you stronger than him?" \

Ramsie, who was totally absorbed in the fight, grunted "Hood muscle. I'm skinny, but this is all from fighting, so I'm stronger."

Hitomi got up, and coughed a good deal of blood onto the arena. She looked him in his eye, and cussed him just once in German this time "Fucker…"

He slipped his hands into his pockets, which he really considered to be an easy going stance, and walked up calmly, as she began to swing at him. This was a stance all about dodging, as he began to just turn to the side, jump back, jump over, and utterly evade everything she threw at him. Then once he jumped to the left to dodge another punch, he kicked her quickly in the nose. He went to follow up, with a kick to the stomach, but she grabbed his leg, drew back, and just blasted his face with her fist. He slid haphazardly across the floor, which burned his back in a nasty friction fight. He began to climb to his feet only to be caught with another fist to the face. Then he swept her off her feet and got up, only to be met with her also. Damn, he must've angered her pretty bad, huh? By this time, she just unloads this incredibly fast punching combo, ripping his front up, and knocking him against the wall, in a K.O. Literally. He's pretty much knocked out. That fight went down as one of the most famous there was. That makes Gig… infamous, I guess.

Well, we can safely say that is was an interesting turn, right? Right. I seriously was thinking he was going to win! Well, either way, he's out, and Ramsie, Zack, Valencho (who just got there after buying a hot dog and flirting with ladies) and Helena are trying to wake him up. They eventually do it, and when he sat up, his forehead gently met with Hitomi's surprisingly, s she was knelt down up on him, over top of him. He gave a screech, and jumped back, scared out of his mind.

Hitomi scoffed at him slyly "Hmmm, 'bout time you wake up… you were out for nearly an hour."

Gigs sighed a big wind of defeat "Why do you even fuckin' care about me? You really don't even know me…"

She gave a soft blush and a look of surprise, screeching at him in German once more "You insensitive asswipe! Why are you such a dickhead? DAMN!"

He then went to get up, and tripped, knocking over Hitomi, with him on top, as they both now had deep blushes on their faces, and were yelling in native tongues, full force. Make it so bad, Gigs knew German, Japanese, Swiss, and Latin as well. Hitomi knew Italian, Chinese, African (There's a different one, huh?) and French, along with her native tongue. Basically, they almost ALWAYS knew what the other was saying.

Valencho leaned over to Zack, and snickered "Well, looks like they've shifted sides…"

Zack couldn't help bur respond "Better hope they get off each other before Helena gets back with the medkit."

Gigs heard Zack, and jumped up really quick, deep red still apparent on his face. Helena saw this, and the same crimson on Hitomi's face when she got up. She gave Hitomi a look of disgust, and took Gigs in her arms, pulling him away from her. Once they were away, she began to try and bring down his swelling, though she wasn't being very gentle with it. As he writhed and squirmed she grabbed a hold of him, as he cried out a little.

Then he looked up, and asked softly "What's the matter, Helena…?"

She pouted loudly "You were flirting with that… ohhh, I can't even say anything! How do YOU know her, huh? Unless you were seeing her before me?"

He shook his head softly, and then explained "I met her in the park. She was the one thumping… I'm sorry, dear…"

She pout silently now, but she hugged him tightly, which was kinda smothering him, seeing as he was sitting down, and his face was smashed in her breasts. No worries, though. Once she let go, he gave a dazed grin, and hugged her around the waist, giving a loving noise that I really can't describe. I know do it from time to time, though… anyway, we now move on to…

The Pillows

Beautiful Morning With You

FLCL OST 3 CD

Sleeping late is a joy, 'specially when you got time to do it… Cassius was knocked out of the tournament, so he really didn't need to get up. Ayane is fighting tomorrow, 'cause this is a big bracket really, so yea, she was still asleep too. When Cassius opened his eyes and sat up, he was greeted with the bright white light of mid-morning, squinting a bit to chase away the darkness which had befouled his eyes. He looked over out of instinct and saw Ayane, but really didn't make a fuss, 'cause he knew that they didn't do anything. He was the one who acted all scared so he could sleep with her, after all. He gave a big yawn, and looked at the clock, spying 11:00, and just turning slowly to wake Ayane. He rocked her gently, and she slowly opened her eyes and closed them quickly, thanks to the bright light…

"Cassius? Why're you in my bed with me?" asked a confused Ayane, as she slowly opened her eyes.

He stuttered a little as he tried to explain "I-I was s-s-scared, and y-you said I c-c-could sleep in here w-with you… Are you going to hurt me now?"

That was a lot more than a little stuttering. She looked into his eyes and was seriously pondering whether to belt him one or not, but instead she gave him a nurturing hug, and a small laugh. Cassius really did think he was a goner but, hey… he lucked out big time on that right there, my friends. After this little 'scene' Cassius slowly crept out of bed, and started for the bathroom, about to take a shower and all. Ayane noticed this at just the right time, though.

"Hey. What are you doing? My shower. I go first." She sternly stated, more so at him than to him.

He took the hint and stepped back from the door "Sorry Ayane, dear…"

She gave an irritated tone to that "Hmm, very funny, baby boy."

He began on breakfast, resolving that he'd cook while she was in there, as he quickly got his water as to not mess with her morning routine, then he'd take a very quick shower so the food wouldn't be cold. He began to fry a little ham and bacon, and some eggs, preparing some French toast, which he had done so many times before. He then looked for a little bit of something to make his bread different (It was tradition for him…) to which he found a bottle of some sort of alcohol. Now, he didn't know what it was, but he tasted it, and it had a sweet taste that would let the bread's flavor flourish, so he mixed a bit in with it, and all. By the time Ayane got out of the shower, breakfast was cooked and on the table. She smelled it once she got into her room, where the air didn't smell like bath soaps and shampoo. She had slipped on a big, baggy shirt and some shorts, just for lounging around, you know, and came into the kitchen, enticed by the alluring aroma.

She cast a gaze of surprise at the tall, shaggy headed boy "You can cook?"

He told her of how it came to be "I usually have to get all the kids ready and cook for them, 'cause Mom usually has a hangover… go on, start without me. I'm going to go take my shower…"

He went to the door of the hotel room, and went out, running down the hall to get some clothes from his room. He came back and quickly readied himself for the shower, and jumped in, taking a 5 minute shower. When he came back out, she still had not touched the food. He gave her a look of intrigue, as he was putting on a button-up shirt.

"What's the matter? Not hungry?" he was kind of worried, thinking either his cooking was off, or she was ill.

She gave a light smile and a small chuckle "I was waiting for you, bum…"

He sat down, and upon filling his plate, asked hopefully "Do you mean bum in a good way?"

She just gave another small chuckle to leave him in the dark, and they began to dine on the nice breakfast Cassius prepared… Cassius couldn't help looking at Ayane so wistfully and adoring. While Ayane ate, though she was looking out the window, until her bright red eyes met with his big brown ones. She stared back for a few seconds, analyzing the look he had. It was so star struck, yet also kind of sad. She felt that the look was making her a little uncomfortable.

"What?" shattered their silence, as Ayane was looking a little frustrated.

Cassius slowly responded to her nonspecific question "Just admiring your beauty… you have such an air to you though, and I…" he made it his business to stop right there.

This abrupt stop left her craving more of the interesting topic of staring… "You what? I'm eager to know…"

Cassius softly declared "I'm not good enough for you, and I know it. You know it too… that's what…"

She couldn't muster anymore words, so she slowly went back to eating, feeling it was partly her fault for his negative splurge of thinking. Then again, does she really care? What does she need to care about him for, anyways? As long as she's succeeding everything is fine. Across the table though, Cassius was stewing in his mind, with the self-doubt, and also the doubt of making Ayane happy and finally being truly happy, himself. Truth be told, he really did like her high-and-mighty attitude, and her arrogance, and snappy demeanor. I don't know why, but he did. Either way, he was trying to actually do something in his life for once.

Queen

Killer Queen

(Yes, I'll get back to you on this one, too.)

Now, if anything, Jhon Quei is one guy who doesn't need help with girls. Valencho, on the other hand, has that confidence issue, and that's why Zack is here! Zack is going to whip Valencho in shape to go and get the girl of his dreams. He has to find one first, though… he had a feeling though, that he might have to wait next year… or the year after that… or maybe the one after that… but he was going to accomplish this goal if it was the last thing he was going to do! Not only had Zack come to his rescue, but Tina had also come along as 'The Spotter'. Oh yea, they needed a 'Spotter' on this one… Confidence was welled up in all three of them, as they strolled into the mall, which Valencho had recognized as their… 'skate spot'.

Anyway, this is where we're going to stop, but just be warned… the next chapter is going to be… like juicy fruit, I guess. Girl watchin', mall shoppin', and chase hoppin' all in a chapter. Or at least that's what I'M planning. I'm trying, you know. Just be sure to come along, bring a little popcorn, and maybe a dollar and a comb for me. Thank ya kindly. Alright, see you, my chums, buddies, amigos, and… umm… dew drops! Yea! See ya later, yaw…
