Chapter 5:Karate

martial arts -9:oo p.m

"Hurry up, Sasuke-san!" Kimiko called.

"I'm coming!"

"Hey! Wait for us!" Ammorie called, running to catch up with Usagi and Ame in tow.

"Where were you guys during P. E ?" Kimiko asked.

"No where! " Usagi and Ammorie answered at the same time.

" Translation : Oh Kim! We were in our dorm rooms having the best boring time of our lives. And I, Usagi , was cutting my wrists again!" she said in an over cheerful tone.

"How do you know?!" Usagi yelled at her.

' You're wearing your wrist bands again. You only wear them when you do." she stated matter-of-factly.

"Hey guys?" Sasuke said, trying to get their attention back," Where's that music coming from?"

"Yumi must've gotten here before us again." Ame said while opening the door to the dojo.

" I know this song ." Sasuke thought as he followed the girls," It 's War by Edwin Starr ."

A man in his early twenties was circling with Yumi, getting ready to spar. He threw a punch but Yumi dodged and got him in the stomach. She stepped back as Hinata stopped the music.

""You need to strike harder, Saito!" he yelled at her.

"I know! I'm trying!" she yelled back," I'd do better if I could do a free fight!"

"Well we're here now Yumi. So you can't yet." Ammorie said.

"We'll have one at the end of class." the man promised her," Besides, I want to see what you can do, Saito."

"Hidan-sensei! You have a new student!" Ame squealed, pushing Sasuke forward.

"Konbanwa .(Trans: Good evening) What is your name?" the man called Hidan asked.

"Sasuke Uchiha."

Hidan's eyes widened with realization," You're the one who's family.."

"I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't talk about that." Sasuke interrupted.

"W-why? W-what's wrong?" Yumi asked.

Hidan looked at Yumi as if she was from a different world," I've never known you to stutter, Saito." Then he looked at Sasuke and gave a small smile.

"You baka!" Yumi yelled as she punched Hidan in the jaw," Don't you jump to conclusions just by a few things!"

"Touched a nerve , have I?" he said, rubbing his jaw that was starting to bruise,"You can't hit hard when you're calm. But when you're angry, you hurt like H !"

"Sensei? Can we get to training already?" Ammorie asked.

"Training time!" Kimiko shouted.

"Shut up!" Ammorie yelled as she kicked her in the side, sending her to the door.

"Geez! The girls sure are temperamental today." Sasuke said.

" I agree with you . Usagi-chan! Take Ishiyama to Nurse Shizune." Hidan-sensei ordered. Usagi nodded and picked her up, none too gently I might add.

"Alright. Let's start with the warm-ups."

"S-sensei. I-I have a question." Yumi said.

"What is it, Saito?"

"H-how come y-you always call us b-by our last n-names, but y-you call Usagi b-by her first? And w-with the chan?"

"I have my reasons."

"Y-you like her!"Yumi said in a sing-song voice.

"Shut up, you B !" he yelled.

"What did you just call me?!" she yelled back.

"I called you a B . You got a problem with that, Saito?"

"You're messing with the wrong girl on the wrong day." she growled as she lowered herself into an attack stance.

"Show me what you got." Hidan said calmly.

"Here I come!" She started running towards him with her hands clenched into fists. She quickly did a punch towards his face, but he dodged it.

"Is that all you've got?!" he was too busy asking that he didn't notice the foot heading for his head. Yumi smiled as the collision sent him flying sideways.

"What the H 's going on here?!" Usagi shouted as she came through the door.

"Hidan-sensei called Yumi a B And now it's an all-out fight." Ammorie explained in one breath.

"Usagi! You're on my side." Hidan said," Besides...you could use a little training." he added.

"No matter. I can take you both on." Yumi said, smiling.

"Fine! I'm not scared to face you Yumi!" Usagi shouted as she walked over to Hidan.

"Fine then. Bring it on!"

Usagi ran towards Yumi with a fist at her side. She went for Yumi's stomach but she blocked it. She threw another punch with her other hand but that was blocked too.

"You're pretty good, Usagi." Yumi said with a sly smile.

"Thanks!"

"But I'm better!" she growled as she pushed Usagi away and went after Hidan.

"Going straight for me, huh?" Hidan said as he got ready to block any attack," Where did you go?"

" One minute she 's in front of me and the next she 's gone! . . . I might not be dealing with a normal girl in a predictable fight ." he thought as he looked around for her.

"Looking for me?" he heard a whisper in his ear.

"You're pretty fast...for a girl," He turned around and kicked her right in the side and sent her across the room,"but not fast enough." he finished with a smile and a small laugh.

"Sasuke!" she called, "How good are you at fighting?"

"Pretty good. Why?" he answered.

" ' Cuz you're on my side." she replied as she stood up," Man ! Hidan-sensei can kick !" she thought as she held her side.

"Are you alright, Yumi?" Sasuke asked with a tint of worry in his voice.

"I-I'm fine. Just focus. Y-you take Usagi. S-she'll be easier."

"You're still stuttering, Saito...Why don't you give up? You won't win against me." Hidan said.

"That may be. B-but I'm going to try."

"Fine. Then prepare to be hurt."

" I have to win . I have to show him that I ' m better than he thinks ." Yumi thought as she ran towards Hidan.

end of the fight 10:00 p.m.

In the end Yumi had won the over-all fight. Usagi had knocked Sasuke out and then she and Hidan double-teamed Yumi. Somehow she was able to block any attack coming from any direction.

At the end, Sasuke regained consciousness and Yumi fell unconscious from exhaustion.

"Uchiha! Take Saito to Nurse Shizune. You're dismissed." Hidan ordered.

"What a drag! We didn't get to have any training." Ame whined.

"You're starting to sound more and more like your brother each day." Ammorie sighed.

"Usagi! Please stay." Hidan called.

after everyone's gone

"Daijobu, Hidan-sensei?" Usagi asked curiously. (Trans: Are you alright?)

"Hai.(Yes) But there's something I need to tell you." he replied nervously.

"Can you hurry up? I have a ton of homework to do." she complained.

"Uhh...Never mind. You're dismissed. Ja ne."

"Um. Ok. Ja ne." Usagi said confused.
