Here is chapter 3 mwahahahahahhahahahaz!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The coliseum stood proudly as the people of Cat Beareau City walked inside to take their seat. Haru, Muta, Toto and Yuki were already inside with the other female warriors as Haru sighed with indignation.
"I cant believe Im doing this......"
"Aw come on Haru, its not all THAT bad." Toto said with a smile.
"Easy for you to say........." Haru said as she leaned on one of the coliseum's stone pillars, as she relaxed, the wedding rings around her necks glinted in the sunlight which left Yuki in an awe.
"Wow......those rings are beautiful! Where did you get them Haru?" Yuki asked.
Haru smiled at her. "My mother gave them to me before I left home with Muta and Toto. She told me to give my father's wedding ring to a guy who falls in love with me........which I doubt it'll happen."
Yuki looked at her new friend with a look of outrage. "Haru!"
Muta and Toto glared at Haru's negativity as Haru continued to smile a bit. "Im sorry you guys, its a bad habit....."
Muta huffed. "Well we're gonna have to do the best we can to break that habit, its really bringing everybody down!"
Then a gruff voice rang out as the competitors and their allies turned around to pay attention.
"Alright all you warrior ladies, listen up!" A tough looking man in his 50's spoke a bit harshly. "First off welcome to the royal coliseum where each and every one of you will fight against each other for the grand prize and Im pretty sure that you all know what it is."
All the warrior girls (Except Haru and another quiet girl) shrieked out in excitement. "MARRYING ONE OF THE PRINCES!!!!!!"
Muta grasped his ears from the high pitched shrieking. "ACK! MY PRECIOUS HEARING!"
Toto sniggered behind Muta's back as the gruff man continues. "That's correct! Only one of you girls will win this tournament! If any of you lose......well at least you got your pride."
"You're telling me." Haru whispered to Muta, Toto, and Yuki.
"Now before we continue let me explain the rules. Rule #1: No cheating. Rule #2:You may use your weapons if you want but no killing! and Rule #3: During your stay at the hotel there WILL be no sabatoge! The hotel employees WILL double check in the rooms to make sure that NOTHING and I mean NOTHING will cause our contestant to fight!"
Toto quietly whistled. "Wow, that was short!"
"I agree, I havent heard anything that short since Helga made her speech when she became head maid." Yuki said.
"Now onward to the matches!" the man shouted as he walked to a board with writing on it. "Alright! First off will be.....Haru versus Hiromi!"
Toto, Muta, and Yuki's faces lit up with excitement.
"You hear that, Chicky? You get to go first!" Muta said.
But Haru wasnt paying attention as she cocked her head to the side. "Who's Hiromi?"
Muta, Toto, and Yuki fell over anime style.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Elderly Cat King along with his two sons were walking in the coliseum's hallway to get to the royal balcony.
"I cant believe that we're doing this....." Lune sulked quietly.
"Stay strong Lune. This whole marriage thing may be annoying but its better then getting ourselves into that scary moment like we did before." Baron whispered to Lune.
"Scary moment? You mean like the scary flashback from the previous chapter?" Lune asked.
"Exactly...."
Then the flashback was going to start again but Lune and Baron waved their arms in the air to prevent it from showing it.
"NO! DONT SHOW IT TO THEM YET!!!!!! ITS STILL TO SCARY!!!!!!" The two princes shouted.
The elderly cat king turned around and looked at his sons. "Hey you two, what's with all the screaming? And why on earth are you waving your arms?"
Baron and Lune had nervous anime looks on their faces as they quickly looked at their father. "Uuuuuuhhhhh nothing father!"
Their father shook his head while heading towards the doorway to the royal balcony. "Come on you two. The first round is about to begin."
The elderly cat king, Lune, and Baron appeared at the balcony as the audience cheered. They sat down on the royal seats and began to wait for the first fighters to arrive......which they did.
Baron sighed with depression but someone interesting caught his eye as he watched the two fighters come to the arena. A human girl with brunette hair in a ponytail and brown eyes stood and looked at the female blonde haired fighter, getting ready to fight back. As he continued to look at her with intrigue and fondness, Baron's heart started to beat faster as a rosy blush crept up to his cheeks, he then stopped himself. He doesnt know why he's feeling this way but there was something about this warrior that made him feel silly. He kept staring at her, but then a gruff voice broke his concentration.
"Curses!" He thought to himself.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Alright you two! I want a good clean fight! Sure there may be blood but NO gore! I want this battle to be pg-13 ok?" the gruff man asked sternly.
"Sure, ok." Haru said.
"No problem! She's gonna lose anyway!" The blonde girl called Hiromi said with a cocky tone.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to the tournament, where one of the warriors will win and choose which prince that she wants to marry! Which warrior will win?! Which prince will marry and inherit the kingdom and become the next Cat King?! Now for the first round! The first set of fighters who will fight first are......"
The gruff man pointed at Hiromi first. "Hiromi Takashida!" he said then pointed at Haru. "Versus Haru Yoshiadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The whole crowd cheered and applauded as the royal family did so too. Baron felt satisfied that he knew the brunette human girl's name. "So her name is Haru......"
Haru continued to stand there preparing to defend herself against her first opponent, as Hiromi just laughed at her while pointing at her.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! PREPARE YOURSELF YOSHIADA! FOR I AM GOING TO BEAT YOU DOWN INTO A BLOODY PULP!" Hiromi loudly declared.
Haru just cocked her head to the side. "Your loud, you know that?"
Hiromi got angry anime style as she started to shout at Haru. "WHO YOU CALLING LOUD AS AN IRRITATING BOOMBOX?!"
Haru raised an eyebrow. "What's a boombox?"
"WHADDYA MEAN WHAT'S A BOOMBOX?! WHAT BACKWATER VILLAGE DID YOU CRAWL OUT OF ANYWAY?!" Hiromi continued to shout.
"Hey dont blame me. My village isnt as advanced as yours." Haru says as she shrugged. "So are we gonna fight or we gonna hear your shouting all day?"
That's when Hiromi lost it. She took out her sword and started to charge at Haru, while Haru just stood there motionless.
Lune and Baron both gasped in horror and started to shout to Haru. "DEFEND YOURSELF!!!! SHE'S GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!!"
The elderly cat king said nothing but watched Haru as if he knew what she was planning to do.
Muta, Toto, and Yuki who were watching through the windows of the waiting room, panicked anime style as they shouted through the glassless frames.
"HARU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! ATTACK!" Toto shouted.
"HURRY HARU!" Yuki yelled.
"WHAT ARE YOU STANDING AROUND FOR, CHICKY?! ATTACK!" Muta bellowed.
But Haru still didnt move. She continued to keep a focused eye contact to Hiromi, as the loud warrior continues to charge at her.
"HARU!!!!!!!!!!!" Muta, Toto, and Yuki yelled in fear.
Then all of a sudden as Hiromi was about to hit her with her sword's blade, Haru quickly dodged and grabbed Hiromi's hands.
"Short tempered arent you?" Haru asked curiously.
"You coward! Why dont you use your own sword?!" Hiromi asked with outrage.
Haru just smiled a bit. "I dont like violence very much so if you dont mind......."
Haru quickly let Hiromi's hands go and kicked the sword out of her hands.
"MY SWORD!" Hiromi shrieked. "THAT DOES IT!"
Hiromi punched Haru across the face as drops of blood came out of her mouth. Some of the people cheered that Hiromi finally did some damage but the rest booed. Lune joined in the booing, while Baron glared at Hiromi. Muta, Toto, and Yuki all shouted in protest.
"Aw shut up ya jerks! She'll be fine!" Hiromi sneered.
But as she was distracted by the crowd's booing, Haru kicked her opponent in the back, causing her to fall to her hands and knees. Haru then looked at Hiromi while waiting for her to get up.
"Well.....that was an appropriate thing to say. You know, normally I would do my best in a fight, but judging by your attitude, I dont think I should let you win......you would hurt one of the prince's feeling if you act like that in front of him, if you win the tournament."
Hiromi glared at Haru as she staggered a bit to get up. "Aw shut up! What do you know about how I feel and how I act?! Besides.......I only wanted to be queen, because I want revenge........."
The crowd gasped, Lune and Baron gasped (except the elderly Cat King), Muta, Toto, and Yuki gasped. But Haru didnt gasp, she merely blinked a few times.
"Revenge?" she questioned.
"Yes! Once I defeated all of my foes, I will become queen and have my revenge on my ex-boyfriend Tsuge!" Hiromi spoke with venom in her tone.
"How come?"
"Tsuge was going to marry me after our years of going out with each other, but then after a few days before our wedding........Tsuge broke up with me, because he found a girl much richer then I am!" Hiromi said as she started to cry.
Haru's face became serious. "I am sorry that you were emotionally hurt, but revenge isnt going to make things better, revenge is a poisonus thing that tears a person on the inside and out."
The wise words of Haru amazed Baron as he kept his focusing his gaze on her.
Hiromi shook with rage as the tears came pouring out of her eyes. "I DONT NEED YOU TO TELL ME WHAT'S GOOD FOR ME OR NOT! I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!"
Then Hiromi ran and picked up her sword and ran at Haru. Once again Haru didnt move.
"Oh no! Not again!" Yuki said with a worried tone.
Muta started to shout. "CHICKY! DONT JUST STAND THERE LIKE A FACE CAKE! FIGHT BACK!"
"This is terrible! I cant watch!" Toto said as he shields his eyes.
Lune covered his eyes as well, but Baron didnt. He continued to look at Haru then suddenly he began to shout. "HARU! FIGHT BACK!"
Haru heard everyword from everyone who is supporting her but still didnt move, she kept focusing on Hiromi. Then once again as Hiromi was going to hit Haru with her sword, Haru quickly grabbed Hiromi by the hand that was attached to the sword only THIS time, Haru punched Hiromi clean in the gut. Hiromi felt paralyzed all over, dropped her weapon and fell on the arena floor. The gruff man quickly got to the arena and started counting down.
"10......9.......8......7.....6......5.......4......3......2......1......0!" The gruff man took Haru's wrist and pointed it to the air. "The fight is over! The winner is........HARU YOSHIAKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
The crowd cheered and applauded.
"YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! TOTO OPEN YOUR EYES! HARU WON!" Muta shouted.
Toto removed his wings from his eyes. "Really? She won?!"
"YEAH, YOU BIG BAG OF FEATHERS, SHE WON!!!!!!"
Yuki looked at Haru with tears of happiness rolling down her cheeks. "Haru did it."
Lune, The Cat King, and Baron applauded along with everyone else. Baron smiled at our heroine for her first victory, then his eyes wandered to the windows of the waiting room and saw Yuki applauding happily to the victor.
"What's Yuki doing in the waiting room? Maybe she knows this Haru.......Im going to have to ask her if I can meet her."
Hiromi recovered from Haru's fierce punch. She slammed her fist to the arena floor, cursing herself for losing against the brunette, then a shadow covered her defeated form. It was Haru.
"Whatever you're gonna say save it......I dont need words of pity....." Hiromi said coldly.
Haru said nothing at first but she bended over. "How did you feel when I punched you in the gut?"
Hiromi looked up at her with a confused but straight look. "It felt terrible......."
Haru then smiled at Hiromi. "That's what vengeance does to you in the end. If you hurt Tsuge, his kin isnt going to take it well. They will hunt you down and they will kill you for what you did to him."
Hiromi then looked at Haru with shock, then once again she began to cry.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was still midday in Cat Beareau, as Haru, Muta, Toto, Yuki, and Hiromi ate at a resteraunt near the coliseum.
"Oh man! This stuff is fabulous!" Muta said as he pigged out on his food.
"One of these days, your gonna choke on your food, you overgrown cow." Toto said with a bored tone.
Muta got angry at Toto anime style. "WHO YOU CALLING AN OVERGROWN COW, BIRDBRAIN?!"
"YOU, GLUTTON!"
"Please you two! Stop or the both of you will get kicked out!" Yuki warned.
"Well thanks for buying us dinner, Hiromi." Haru thanked politely.
"Yeah, yeah. Well anyways thanks for putting some sense into me. But that doesnt mean that Im going to go home right now!"
"Huh?" Haru wondered.
Hiromi gave Haru a stern yet challenging look.
"I may not know if you got what it takes to win the tournament......but either way if you do win or lose, I want a rematch! And this time you've got to use your sword that you got mounted on your back, not with your hands!"
Haru gave her an expressionless look then relaxed and kicked back. "Fine by me."
"I mean it! I dont want you to run away or anything! I want to kick your butt fair and square! Im not going to leave this city even if you force me!" Hiromi said with determination.
"Nobody says that you have to leave. By all means stay." Haru calmly said.
"Fine I will!" Hiromi grumpily said as she faced the other way.
Yuki held a worried look on her face. "Are you really going to fight her again Haru?"
"Not really. She's just saying that because she just want to be my friend."
Hiromi quickly turned around and start shouting. "I DIDNT SAY THAT!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
