"So ..." Okita shrugged arrogantly "What will you say, Your Majesty?".
"I'll say, we should just go back to the class, Dude!".
Both pairs of eyes spontaneously turned towards Kazuha, who immediately acted as if she didn't understand "What? Actually, we're in the middle of class time, aren't we? I didn't say anything wrong, did I?".
Okita grins "Actually yes, since the person I'm actually challenging is this Kendo's Captain, Miss!" Without manners, Okita pointed his index finger right at Heiji's face.
But strangely, Heiji was even more offended when Okita referred Kazuha only as a 'Miss'.
"Hey! You'd be better watch your mouth, you commoner! She's a princess!".
Though Heiji defended her, Kazuha instead placed her hand on his arm as a sign, telling him to be quiet.
"Ahh! You didn't mention the name, so I thought you were talking to ... Never mind! Where were we? Oh! We better get back to class soon! Come on!".
Whereas Heiji, as a man, the Kendo's Captain, the pride of his school, this time didn't budge even when Kazuha had pulled his hand, so they just returned to class.
"Challenge accepted! When? Where?" He challenged Okita back as Kazuha spontaneously facepalmed herself.
Okita's grin widened, because he didn't expect that the famous intelligent Prince Heiji had taken the bait he gave so easily.
"Now, perhaps? The sooner the better!". He deliberately poured gasoline into a burning fire.
Kazuha winced. She really wanted to hit Okita's head. He really went too far now! Hopefully Heiji is smart enough, so he doesn't fall for that very clear bai ...
"Fine by me. Let's do it now at the dojo!".
Never mind.
And, here they are, ending up going to the dojo where Kendo club members usually practice.
The place was quiet, only the three of them in the room. Of course, shouldn't this still be a time when lessons are still in progress? And since Heiji is the captain and the prince, it's not a problem for them to easily enter the dojo.
But, hey, that's not what actually Kazuha wanted to cry out loud! What she means is, really? Seriously? They really here?
Oh Dear God! Men and their pride!
Without further ado, Heiji immediately headed to the place where the bamboo sword was stored and took out two. He threw one at Okita who was deftly captured by him.
"Hey! Haven't you ever heard of good manners?".
"Shut up!" Heiji adjusts his body pose, signaling he is ready to start the fight.
"Whenever you're ready!".
Okita only smirked arrogantly once, then he attacked forward with incredible speed, Heiji couldn't see it. He panicked and staggered backward, before he finally felt four bamboo sword stabs on his shoulders, stomach and chest.
Heiji retreated with his mouth open.
What just happened?
Seeing how shocked Heiji is, Okita smirked even wider. It seems not difficult to take over the Kendo's Captain title at this school.
That was an introduction, Your Majesty! Now ..." Okita drew his sword to the front of his body "Is the main course!" Even more powerful, Okita attacked at the same speed as when he first attacked Heiji.
The next instant, which Heiji knew he had flown backwards and then a moment later, there was a loud crash, and Heiji felt intense pain in his back.
Heiji was breathing hard. Since he was too shocked, he couldn't move.
What the heck is this Okita? That's not Kendo at the level of high school students! That's samurai's Kendo!
However, Okita was still not satisfied, apparently. He went to Heiji, who was now helpless. Even though he knew his opponent could no longer fight, in front of Heiji, Okita raised his bamboo sword high above his head, preparing to slash the prince.
"Say hello to your new Captain, Your Majesty! Haaaa ...!".
Bets!
Eh?
Puzzled, Okita turned and found Kazuha holding his hand.
"I told you, say the name if you talk to someone. I am too Her Majesty here!".
"But actually, the refer as Majesty was also wrong too" Kazuha nodded her head, as if agreeing with her own words. "It suppose to be a Highness, ehehehe ..."
Seeing Kazuha helping him, Heiji was very embarrassed.
First, he was helped by a girl, not mention, the girl he likes.
Secondly, he had forgotten that Kazuha was there.
Third, and the most shameful thing is, he lost. He doesn't look cool in front of her! His pride is wounded!
Trying to stand up even though he staggered a little, Heiji, who finally managed to pull himself up, grabbed Kazuha's shoulder then pushed her aside, out of the 'battle' area.
"For a Kendo fighter, you are big-mouthed and arrogant! I wonder, did your Kendo teacher also teach you manners? But you're wrong if you think I've lost! Heyaaaa ..."
Okita only smiled as he waited for Heiji's attack, but then ...
"Kyaaaaa!".
The two combatants immediately stopped their attacks simultaneously. Then, at the same time, they both turned to the owner of the voice, the only girl there, with astonished face.
"Ah! Finally I got your attention!".
"What, Ahou? You surprised us!".
But Kazuha only responded casually "You teach people about manners, but how about you? When I talked to Okita and you just interrupted us?".
Like a fish, Heiji gasped, not really understanding what Kazuha said, "E-excuse me?".
Kazuha only answered by shrugging her shoulders, before finally turning to Okita. It was then that Heiji realized that she was already holding a bamboo sword.
"What ... do you think you're gonna do?". Heiji's eyes went up and down in turns staring at her and the bamboo sword in her hand, as if hinting at her about what he was asking.
Meanwhile Kazuha, not even surprised by Heiji's question, she still answered casually. "What? Am I not allowed to try?".
Heiji looked at her for a few seconds "Hmph! Girls like you are better off playing with dolls!" he said mockingly while shooing her with his hand, then ...
DUAKKK!
And the next second, Heiji's body flew back for the second time.
Now it was Kazuha's turn to be surprised.
"Hey!" She snapped at Okita "What the hell are you doing?".
Okita instead shrugged with a shitty style "In a battle, it is strictly forbidden to divert attention from your enemies. I think Your Highnesses already understand that?".
Yep! This type of person is the type that makes Kazuha sick. Even though she knew what he said was true, but he had gone too far.
"Then ..." Kazuha pointed her bamboo sword at Okita "Fight me!".
Okita's gaze was getting even mocking "I want to, Your Highness The Princess!" his voice also arrogant. "But you should listen to the advice of Kendo's Captain, the pride of this school, which is now lying helplessly behind you! Girls really shouldn't play with swords!".
What he didn't expect, Kazuha calmly smiled, and for some reason, suddenly the fighter's instinct in his blood told him that the girl before him should not to be underestimated.
"I consider your answer as yes!".
Duk! Duk! Duk!
Okita hadn't even had time to move when he felt three hits hit his head, neck and stomach.
Flash, light and invisible.
But a few seconds later, what surprised him was, Okita began to feel cramps in his stomach, the effect of Kazuha's bamboo sword stabs before. The fine hairs on his neck are also standing now.
"What? You ..."
"Am I now counted as a worthy opponent?".
Without waiting for his answer, Okita then watched with his own eyes, how 'his opponent' before him suddenly disappeared accompanied by the sound of gentle breeze in his side, like a ghost. Then a moment later, Okita felt a slash on his back. Instantly, cold sweat immediately wet his forehead and back.
Still not recovering from his shock, Okita felt the sword prick again, on his waist. Though it didn't hurt but it tickled him and it was enough to overwhelm him. If it was a real sword, he would've been dismembered.
"Well? Why haven't you done anything? I thought you were a pro?".
It's not like he didn't do anything, because actually, Okita really didn't like to be defeated in things that he was really good at, especially Kendo. He just ... had never met a Kendo opponent who was even commensurate with him, moreover, stronger and more skilled than him. What's more, what's even more surprising is that his opponent is a girl!
Okita watched Kazuha, who shrugged because he hadn't reacted, then turned to start walking towards Heiji while carrying her bamboo sword on her shoulder.
Don't know who his teacher is, but apparently Okita is not a fair and honest fighter. Seeing his opponent turn around, he saw that as a golden opportunity to take her down, for she's too good at fair combat and he was too cowardly to admit that his Kendo's ability that he's so proud of was not comparable to her.
Holding her bamboo sword tightly, Okita growled softly before finally deciding to cheat, attacking Kazuha from behind.
"Heyaaaaa ..." Okita attacked forward at full speed and also with full of confidence.
He's sure, this time he would win! Even though he cheated but, yea ... who cares?
"Don't even think about it!".
"Huh? UGH!" Very shocked, his heart felt almost out of place and soaked by cold sweat, all were sensations that were immediately felt by Okita when so suddenly and without warning, he felt the distinctive punch of a bamboo sword, this time it was enough to make him almost hit by a heart attack, on his left waist.
When Kazuha saw her opponent unable to move because he was too shocked, she took the opportunity to tackle his legs, so Okita lost his balance and ended up with his ass falling hard on the floor.
Then like a predator, Kazuha walked slowly while dragging her bamboo sword towards Okita who was still grimacing in pain, but his instincts told him that he was in danger, so he began to drag his butt backwards.
"I really, really hate, a cheater like you! Pathetic losers who don't have the guts to fight fairly!".
She continued to walk slowly toward him, cornering him towards the wall. The bamboo sword that she dragged, further intimidated her 'potential victim'.
Okita gulped, this time she's serious!
Kazuha approached him slowly like a lioness ready to pounce. She pointed her bamboo sword at his nose.
"Get up! You said you want to be the Kendo's Captain at this school? Hmph! Then prove it! Get up and fight fairly!".
When Okita didn't react, Kazuha ran out of patience and yelled "I said get up!".
"Alright! What the hell is going on here?".
"Sneaking into the dojo in the middle of study time and fighting in the dojo without the teacher's permission ... Even if you are a prince, still, your actions cannot be justified, Your Highness!".
Heiji, Kazuha and Okita are now being 'tried' in the principal's office, after a teacher who was walking around inspecting the room, caught them red-handed sneaking in the dojo and in fact, they had just fought there. Moreover, when the teacher entered, he found that Kazuha's position, was intimidating Okita with her bamboo sword.
"We're sorry, Headmaster, but ..."
"I don't know what to say to your parents!" The headmaster glanced at Heiji's face, which was now filled with pieces of bandages here and there.
Heiji fell silent immediately as the headmaster sighed and then turned to the princess "And your parents too! Though I don't understand. Shouldn't a princess be gentle and classy? Hhh ... Never mind!" He massaged the bridge of his nose while shaking his head.
After waiting a while, Okita intended to protest because only his parents were not mentioned by the headmaster, when the door to the principal's office was knocked.
"Come in!".
The door opened, then entered the teacher who had caught the three of them with a little hesitation.
"Yes, Professor Todo?".
"I'm sorry to disturb you, Headmaster, but ..."
The teacher named Professor Todo glanced at Kazuha "There's a guest who wants to meet with the Princess".
Kazuha frowned. Guest for her? Who?
"Can't it be later? You see, right now I'm disciplining her!".
Once again Professor Todo glanced at Kazuha, this time with a suspicious look "She said, the princess would definitely see her soon as I mentioned her name!".
When Professor Todo mentioned her guest as 'she', Kazuha immediately glared and gasped.
No way ... Is she ...
The headmaster, Heiji and Professor Todo did not escape paying attention to Kazuha's strange reaction.
"And what her name is?".
"Mishil".
