A/N: And the conclusion! Since I didn't have a backlog of commissions this go around, it was pretty easy to get this one finished up in a decent amount of time.

Pudding and Taruto were given a few minutes alone before the fight to discuss their strategy. The two men were masters of martial arts, and made it pretty obvious that they did not expect to be defeated. Therefore, they considered it "going easy on" the kids to let them plan out before hand.

"Papa and Yubein are really strong," she said. "But they don't know that we're stronger. I'm afraid we might really hurt them if we're not careful, so..."

"So we try to fight like we're human?" he asked. "That sounds easy enough."

"Thank you for this," she said. "I know it's stupid to have to fight to pretend to be a temporary boyfriend, but..."

"No, I understand," he replied. "Whatever it takes to make our relationship easier. And if I get his approval now, it might not be so hard to get his approval when we tell him that we're really in love and that you don't want to marry Yuebin."

She gave him a hug and a quick kiss on the cheek. "Alright, let's get out there and kick butt!"

~X~

The fight began with the two teams facing each other down. The rules were simple: they would not be following any specific style, and would instead do free combat. When a team had had either member be held down for five seconds three times, they would lose. It did not matter which member was held down. Pudding's four brothers yelled, "Ready...go!" in unison, and the four charged at each other.

Pudding went for Yuebin initially, in the hopes that he would go easy on her due to their engagement. She knew her father would not go any easier on her than Taruto, being a very fair fighter. She hoped her boyfriend would fare well, but still hold back not hurt her father.

Meanwhile, she had to focus on keeping her own powers in check as she traded blows with her fiance. Either he was more talented than she knew or he was not holding back against her, because she was struggling to keep up with him and block. She could barely land any hits, while he seemed to not even break a sweat.

She was just starting to contemplate kicking things up a notch when he landed a solid hit, pinning her to the ground with ease. She struggled, but she was too late. She had not reacted quickly enough in her shock, and before she knew it, the five seconds had passed and she had given the other team one of the three victories necessary.

And then Taruto launched himself at Yuebin, because he could not stand to watch the other man fight her any longer. This left Pudding with her father, which was not any easier. From what she could tell, Taruto was struggling just as much, and she knew it was too much to focus on pretending to be normal and focus on the fight. Holding back was weakening them even more than it was supposed to.

The two men were just a lot stronger than she had expected, and she also had not expected it to take this much out of her to hold back. It became clear to her that if they were going to come out of this fight, they would have to let some of their superhuman abilities show.

"Taruto!" she called out, as she barely managed to block another attack from her father. "It's okay to not hold back anymore!" She heard one of the two men scoff, as if they did not believe the two were no always that weak, but Taruto simply nodded.

At first, it was hard to completely stop holding back. Though she was faster and stronger, and could land a few hits herself, she was afraid of letting herself go to far. But then she saw Taruto fighting Yuebin at full strength, and though he had a distinct advantage, it did not seem that he was really hurting Yuebin. Before she knew it, Taruto had restrained him and they had their first point.

It was her turn. She could not hold back and leave it all to him; she would have to fight with him, just as hard. She lunged at her father, faster than he could block, and brought him down, restraining him until she had scored her second point. Their team now had the edge.

At that point, the men's strategy changed, and they stopped fighting separately. They stayed close to one another so that they could assist the other in blocking. Somehow, they managed to keep their eyes on both fights, and fought perfectly in sync.

But, little did they know, Pudding and Taruto had fought each other enough to have their styles down pat. For them, collaborating would not be a problem in the slightest. Their movements were almost instantly linked, and they fought in an even more perfect sync than either of the men could hope to achieve. They were fast and strong, but, more than that, they were one.

And, in perfect unison, they struck their opponent and brought him down, scoring not only the final point they needed to win, but an extra one. They then stood up, sweating and panting, but triumphant.

"We did it!" Pudding squealed, throwing her arms around Taruto's neck.

He grinned, hugging her and saying, "Yeah, we did!"

Her father and Yuebin stood up, dusting themselves off. The former said, "Well, that certainly was impressive...and quite a bit surprising. But, a deal is a deal, and you've proven yourself worthy of seeing my daughter. Not only that, but the two of you make a very good match."

"I do not think I could ask for a better man to look after my fiance," Yuebin said, offering a respectful bow, which was incredibly awkward, to say the least.

"It's almost dinnertime!" Pudding said, partially to defuse any budding awkwardness and partially because it was true. "Taruto, come help me finish getting it ready!"

~X~

Taruto was mostly useless in the kitchen, but Pudding did not mind as long as she had him by her side for a little bit. Though things were still complicated, they had overcome this challenge together and were both confident that they could overcome any future challenges as well.

When the meal was ready, everyone sat together and ate. Her father and siblings, the family she loved dearly. Yuebin, the man she could never love as a husband but had come to love and treasure as a friend. Taruto, the man she loved with all of her heart. And they were all smiling and getting along and enjoying the dinner that she had made for them.

Someday, there would be another conflict, when she and Taruto finally revealed the true nature of their relationship. Someday, she might have to have a much tougher fight with her father. But for now, everything was perfect.

A/N: Sorry for the changes I made to the nature of the fight, I was having issues writing it the way it was specifically described in the original message. Otherwise, I hope you enjoyed it.
