A/N
While it was stated previously in my other Author's Notes, it seems I didn't make things obvious before and I apologize. To anyone who find this story familiar, that is because I had an older version posted before. It was a long time ago and I took it down. I'm revamping and reposting what I have written. I made One Kick Woman. So rest assured to anyone who is confused. There will be similarities to the old version, however there will also be major differences.
Also, to those who have expressed concerns about my character and her strength and appearance. I have created artwork for her and you can view them on my Deviantart or on my Quotev story posting. I'm fairly certain I've described the character's appearance in the story, however I apologize if it was not enough detail. As regarding her strength, there is a lot of assuming going on about her power levels and where she's at. I would really hate to explain everything for the few since it will be explained later on in detail.
To those who are displeased, I apologize. Feel free to message me.
Please enjoy.
The aspiring villain was standing in the fields of Y City- the country outskirts where cows lived. Guess some people liked their space.
She stood with weight on one hip, her thumbs tucked in her jean short pockets. She was staring at a mansion- a long three-story structure with a grand fountain and whatever else you imagine a mansion to have.
The grand doors opened and she perked up. Walking out was a black lean figure with a long purple scarf.
He approached her calmly, and as he neared she was able to take in more of his features. He had a slender face with black hair tied in a top knot with fabulous bangs, and unique purple marks under the eyes. Honestly the only way she knew that this guy was a male was because of the skin tight suit. She calmly waited until he was within earshot and shouted, "Oi!"
He stopped and crossed his arms, sizing her up. A simple looking human- female based off the voice, however hard to tell physically. Flat chest and muscular legs- no signs of being female. A young man whose balls hadn't dropped? Cross dresser? This honestly couldn't be someone sent after Tanaka's fortune.
She shouted at him, "I wouldn't be able to tell you were a dude unless that bulge showed in that tight suit!"
His eyes narrowed. She wasn't amusing. "You here for Tanaka's money?" He called back.
"Huh?" She looked back at him in surprise. Was this guy the welcome wagon? She smiled, perking up in delight. "Yeah, kinda!"
He narrowed his grey eyes at her feeling confused. She was smiling with a light blush, rubbing the back of her head as if embarrassed. Why was this person displaying such behavior? A small sighed slipped through his nose as he closed his eyes. It didn't matter. He reached back and grabbed the hilt of his sword.
"Guess news gets around fast, eh? He must be a clairvoyant knowing I was going to rob him. He even hired a hero to bodyguard him!" He stiffened and stared at her, his eye twitching.
Hero?
After saying her words, she turned confused as she looked him up and down. "Actually, I would recognize you at least..." She did intense studying of the heroes from the Association. "Who are you?"
He gazed at her intensely with a dangerous look. Blinking, she realized the dark and flaring hostile aura around him. She frowned- was she imagining that? "I am Speed-o'-Sound Sonic. I was born to a ninja village. Certainly not a hero. They are nothing but jokes."
She blinked at him. "Ninja village?" She then noticed a kunai flying at her and she stepped to the side. The speed of the kunai would have been impossible to follow if not for her reflexes, but she watched it in normal time as it passed by her face and into the field. Sonic felt his heart skip a beat. He watched without emotion as the woman disappear and appear just a foot away from where she was. He couldn't have mistaken it. "Huh, that looked like a legit ninja knife thingy." This person... His mind showed flickering images of that bizarre bald man.
"Saitama..."
"Eh?" She looked back at Sonic. "Oi, what did you say?" A deadly calm settled over him. His bangs cast a shadow over his face. She stared at him, but he didn't respond. She started to understand that this guy was playing to a different tune. "Oi, listen, Sonic, you got me wrong," she explained. "I'm a bad guy." She then perked up, having an idea. "Hey, if you're here for Takana Kaito we can steal from him together! A collaboration would be good for my rep - if only I get credit as mastermind that is."
"No opponent of mine has ever escaped alive..." She blinked. "I've worked every job... From assassinations to bodyguard... No ninja is more deadly..."
She furrowed her brows up in worry, noticing the hostile aura flaring up a bit more. "Are you... Having a moment right now?" She was starting to think that this guy had more back-story than she originally thought.
"I... am Speed-o'-Sound Sonic!" Her eyes flickered as she noticed him flying at her with a sword drawn. She leaned back and the blade cut through her shirt- missing her flesh. When he passed- in slow motion- she noticed the insane smile on his face. It sent chills down her spine and she bristled. "Never has an opponent of mine escaped alive!"
This man was having a PTSD meltdown.
She came at the wrong time.
He dashed at her from behind and she leaned to the other side, dodging his blade again, yet again her shirt was torn. However she was too fixated on his creepy smile to notice. "Hey, uh, yeah, you said that." She glanced at him on occasion as he ran at supersonic speed around her. "Oi, if this is a bad time I can-"
Within seconds her shirt was becoming tatters. She only noticed a few seconds too late and went wide eyed. "Wait a minute-"
"Ten Shadows Burial!" Ten images of Sonic closed in on her.
The ground exploded. He landed away from the dust cloud, still grinning maniacally. "No one," he said to himself breathing heavily. "No one... No one... No..." His smile died down when he heard coughing.
The dust cleared away, showing her coughing into her fist. Her shirt... was gone. And there was nothing to censor her chest. Once her coughing fit died down she became annoyed. "Oi, what's your problem?" A peculiar breeze went by and she noticed it. He looked back at her astonished that she was alive, but she covered her chest and screamed.
It was a high pitch sound that set him on edge. He winced and was forced to cover his ears. She had no mark on her skin to show she was in any pain. Once her scream faded out he shouted in annoyance, "Why are you screaming!?"
"What do you mean 'why'!?" She shouted back at him, her face completely red. She hugged her bare chest to try and cover herself. "What kind of perverted ninja are you!? This isn't Naruto!"
"What do you mean perverted!?" He uncovered one ear to point his sword at her. "Get over yourself and stop screaming! I'm not interested in men!"
The words stabbed through her heart. An awkward silence settled over them, and the tension was very real. She hung her head, her hair casting a shadow over her face. "Did you just call me... A man...?"
Sonic tch'd in irritation, dropping his arms and glaring at her. "I don't care what you identify yourself as. What I do care about is how you were able to dodge my attacks. Do you know a man named-"
"I'M A WOMAN."
He blinked at her furious look, a blush burning across her face. His face fell and he cocked an eyebrow at her. "Really." Not convinced, he pointed at her with his sword again. "According to that a-cup chest you have you-"
Her jean shorts dropped to her ankles. Sonic made eye contact with the winking cat on her panties. A faint blush crept to his face as she pulled her jean shorts back up.
He closed his eyes, his eyebrow twitching. "... Just who in the hell are you..."
"I'm a goddamn female I can tell ya that!" Her nostrils flared as she continued to glare at him, her body pricking as it fumed from his insult. "What's your name? Jackass?"
"It's Speed-o-"
"I KNOW WHAT YOUR NAME IS, SONIC."
Another silent tension fell over them. Eventually Sonic recovered and glared at her sharply. There was only one who could read his attacks. He would not let another do the same.
He ran at her again, sword ready.
Keeping her chest covered she performed her linear kick, shattering his sword with just her foot. Sonic went wide eyed. She then landed on her attacking foot and pivoted in a circle. Moving too fast for him to register, her rear leg swung around in a roundhouse kick and connected with the his side. She was almost tempted to put in enough force to obliterate him, but instead just sent him flying. If this guy was another bad guy then it wouldn't do her any good to beat him. As she spun back in place she snagged the tail of his purple scarf before he flew too far and kept it.
She tied his scarf around her chest. "Pervert," she grumbled to herself. Now in a bad mood she marched to Tanaka's mansion.
Sonic continued flying over the grassy fields with a dazed look, his eyes glazed over. He was nearly unconscious after that kick. Nearly. His pride and anger- also his willpower- brought him back and his eyes came into focus. His nimble body twisted in the air and his feet touched the ground, slowly bringing his momentum to a sliding stop. He crouched and put a hand on the ground to keep himself balanced. He then looked down at his broken sword in his hand.
Again.
Again his goddamn sword was broken. Fine. He sheathed whatever was left of it and glared up at the mansion now in the far distance. He would not be made a fool twice. Saitama was his eternal rival. And once he would beat this... Woman then he would be able to defeat him.
He created a sonic boom as he raced back to the mansion.
Inside the mansion, she was already kicking down another set of doors. They completely shattered into splinters and the pieces flew into the room at a deadly speed, forcing Tanaka and his butler to duck behind the large desk in the back. They dared peek over the top to witness her. "W-whoa-WHOA- HOLD IT!" Tanaka put his hand up for her to halt while his butler could only stare, stunned in place as she walked into the room.
"Oi." With her hands on her hips she glared at them with a sharp and dangerous look. "Mr. Tanaka, I've come here for you."
"H-H-Hold on a minute!" Tanaka put his hands up in defense. "Where's Sonic!?"
She thumbed behind her and replied, "About ten miles that way."
"Okay- okay, okay," He began mumbling to himself as he frantically tried to think. Nervous sweat came out of him profusely. He swallowed and asked, "Wh-who sent you? Someone from the Black Market? The Stock Marketers?"
Her head jerked back slightly and stared at him confused. He thinks someone sent her? Could she use this to her advantage? You'd have to be good if someone hired you, right? She then smirked, a dark light casting over her face. Tanaka and his butler only became more frightened. "Does it matter who sent me...?"
"P-Please!" Tanaka pulled a handkerchief out of his chest pocket and dabbed at his forehead- his butler quickly mimicked him. "Please- whatever you're being paid- I-I'll pay you double!"
"We have a contract, Tanaka." The low voice cut through the room and he and his butler froze. She frowned, knowing that Sonic was standing behind her. Sonic instead was glaring over her shoulder right at the fat man. "You wanted me to kill her, didn't you?"
"So," her eyes looked to the side he was standing on. "Sonic, you're acting as a bodyguard to Tanaka?" She sighed, lifting up a hand and said condescendingly, "Well, I didn't want to defeat another bad guy, but I guess I have no choice."
Tanaka and his butler literally could not handle the intensity between the two right now as Sonic's hatred and rage flared around him. "H-hey," he mustered up a weak smile. "Why not two bodyguards? I can pay for both of you!"
She perked up. "How much?"
Sonic narrowed his eyes. "I work alone."
Sweat ran down his face like bullets. "Dammit- Sonic, just take care of her!"
Sonic swung his arm around, holding a kunai, and suddenly the two of them disappeared. Tanaka and the butler could only keep up with whatever damage was being done around the room as they moved beyond blurs. "What are you going to do this time, Sonic!? Going to undress me again!?" They blinked at the woman's accusing words. "You like my flat chest!? Pervert! Pedophile!"
"Let me cut your throat to SHUT YOU UP!"
"Gonna tear up my shorts to see my winking cat!?" Tanaka and Butler moved their heads in sync, looking back and forth as lamps exploded and the furniture was ripped apart. "Gonna shred my socks!? You a foot-fetish guy!?"
"GET OVER HERE!" A hole was suddenly blasted in the ceiling and they shielded themselves from the debris with their arms. "Get OVER yourself! Who would be attracted to a woman who DOESN'T HAVE A WOMANLY BODY!"
"LOOK WHO'S TALKING!" Back and forth holes were blasted through the walls. "YOU HARDLY LOOK LIKE A MAN! YOUR ASS IS MORE FEMININE THAN MINE!" Tanaka's desk was obliterated and a hole exploded in the wall next to him, making him and his butler scream and hold each other. "AND YOUR FACE LOOKS LIKE A GIRL'S! GIRLY!"
Sonic couldn't take it anymore. "FLAT CHEST!"
There was a dramatic gasp of loathing. The next thing they knew was a bomb went off. They were blinded and then blasted away, something like a solid force knocking them off their feet. The room was ripped apart and burned away.
The entire level of the mansion was blasted away. She stood alone in the center on her feet. Her shoulders heaved as she took controlled breaths, her eyes glowing like headlights from the shadows of her hair as rage shinned through them like a tangible thing. "Don't use that fucking F-word with me, pal."
On one far end of the level, Sonic was staggering back to his feet. He was grinning again. On the other side Tanaka and Butler were pushing wreckage off of them. "What the hell just happened!?" Tanaka shouted. Her gaze shifted over to them and they froze like deer in headlights, hanging onto each other for support and comfort. "S-Sonic, kill that broad! Please!" He was practically begging.
"My pleasure." Sonic ran at her with incredible speed, creating another sonic boom. He pulled out his kunai, but then went wide eyed. She remained stationary and was looking him dead in the eye, clearly following his movements. She lifted her leg off to the side away from him. Once he was close enough she swung her leg back in a hook kick and caught him in the side again. She continued pushing him around her and sent him flying down the stretch of the mansion level.
Tanaka and Butler could hardly keep up with their movements. Still, they looked back behind them to see Sonic's body flying away from them into the far distance. They turned back to her crying. "Please!" Together they crawled over to her and bowed at her feet. "I'll pay you anything!" Tanaka sobbed. "Please- I don't care who's paying you what- I'll pay anything! All I ask is that you work for me- please- and protect me from anyone else looking to hurt me!"
She was brought out of her blind rage, her normal eyes coming back, and stared down at the pitiful man. She hummed, "Well, I originally planned on taking your money, but if working as your goon furthers my rep as a bad guy then sure."
Both Tanaka and Butler looked up at her elated. "What's this, Tanaka?" They whipped around to stare- she looking up and blinking- seeing Sonic back on his feet on the far side of the building. He was a huffing and puffing, angry and flustered mess.
"Gee. You are fast."
"You know the consequences of going back on the contract."
"Oi." Tanaka and Butler smiled up at her as she gave Sonic a dangerous look. "You don't lay a hand on my client."
Sonic threw shuriken. Tanaka and Butler screamed and scrambled to get behind her as she remained where she was. The shuriken landed around them and exploded in smoke. Sonic pulled out more kunai and ran at the smoke cloud-
"Ultimate Sack-Tap."
He froze. She was unexpectedly standing beside him, her hand down next to his groin. His irises shrank and his body trembled. His face began turning blue as he bit down on his lower lip. "Huh." Slowly did he look over at her, seeing her smug expression. "Guess you are a guy." She winked.
He hated her. "I'm taking my scarf back..." She blinked- suddenly bare again- and Sonic disappeared.
She quickly covered her chest and screamed out into the world, "Sonic, you pervert!" The smoke from his ninja bombs began fading away and Tanaka and Butler were looking around confused. When they spotted her she bared her razor sharp teeth and shouted at them, "Get me a new shirt!"
"Y-YES, MA'AM!" The both of them shouted and scrambled to get away.
