Chapter 29: Cheap Shot

Benimaru took a kick from his former team mate. His breath was knocked out of him, though he managed to block a punch that was coming toward him.

"Come on, Beni." Kyo smirked. He was giving him a chance to recover. This angered Benimaru. How was it that he was always loosing to Kyo? Could it really be that Kyo was better than him after all?

Despite not fully catching his breath, Benimaru charged forward. As if having a sword, he lashed with lightning at Kyo, who was surprised by this attack. As Benimaru looked back at Kyo, he saw that he was there, clutching his body. Kyo managed to shake off the lightning effect on his body, and turned to face Benimaru.

"Is that all you've got prettyboy?" Kyo managed. Benimaru only gave a half smirk, then charged again.

"Rai kou ken!" He shouted as he jumped and came down onto Kyo. Kyo smirked, then jumped up as well, spinning up with his fists engulfed with flames. Benimaru's eyes widened as he saw Kyo's fist coming in toward his face. As Benimaru hit the ground, Kyo had dropped down onto his knees from the lightning impact. Benimaru had managed to hit him on the chest.

Benimaru felt how his face burned with an intensity he couldn't shake off. Spitting out the blood in his mouth, he stood but only to get knocked down again by Kyo's swift kick to his gut.

"You've gotten easier." Kyo told Benimaru, who was on his hands and knees with one hand holding his stomach. Benimaru looked up just in time to block a kick to his face.

"You should start wearing a mask like Vega," Kyo laughed. "So I won't ruin your pretty face."

"Kisama." Benimaru grumbled as he stood. He was bombarded by what seemed like furious punches and kicks. Most of which he blocked. He sent some powerful kicks to Kyo's gut, but even that didn't stop him from punching him endlessly.

"That's it!" Benimaru yelled out his hurricane attack, then took on Kyo with his lightning speed. As he looked at Kyo on the ground, he smirked. "Shimakata."

"Chiksho...gaijin." Kyo groaned, clutching his groin.

"Sorry, did I hit you there?" Benimaru said with a satisfied smile.

"Looks like Benimaru-san is the winner." Shingo said suddenly. The both of them looked up toward him in surprisement.

"Shingo, I'm afraid that Kyo could not beat the Nikaido fury." Benimaru rubbed his swollen jaw.

"Fuck you." Kyo stood slowly. "That was a cheap shot."

"Hey, my fist and my leg land where they have to land." Benimaru smirked.

"Cheap shot!" Kyo yelled back.

"Argh! Whatever..." Benimaru inspected his abdomen area for the bruises.

"Are you going to cry because I hit your pretty face?" Kyo sneered.

"Speaking of which, I hope for your sake that I don't get a big enough bruise." Benimaru raised his fist.

"Kyo-san, Benimaru-san." Shingo interrupted. "Maybe you two should calm down."

"I am calm." Kyo let out a big sigh as he put his fist down. "Next time, I'm going to kick your ass." Kyo said as he walked away. Shingo followed him.

"Yea, whatever." Benimaru ignored him, walking slowly behind both of them. The tournament had already began, and the truth was that he really didn't feel like fighting. As he walked back to the place Duo Lon and Elisabeth were waiting, he thought about what had happened the last year. He still wondered why Ash kept bothering him.

"Why in the hell do I always end up thinking about him...?" Benimaru asked himself while still rubbing his jaw. He felt that it had swelled a lot when comparing it to the other side of his face.

"Damn you, Kyo!" He shouted. But Kyo and Shingo were already out of hearing distance. Rubbing his jaw, he grumbled to himself, "I'll get you for this later..."

XDXDXDXDXDXD

"What are you thinking about?" Maxima asked K' who was smoking a cigarette.

"Crap." K' took one last drag from the cigarette, then flicked it to the ground. As he blew out the smoke, he looked up towards the sky at the moon.

"You thinking about the tournament?"

"Fuck the tournament." K' looked out over toward the house where Kula was sound asleep. "I'm not interested in the tournament." Maxima grunted.

"So what are you interested in?" K' ignored the question, holding his arm. Maxima changed the subject, noticing K's silence. "What do you think about the new hero?"

"Who?" K' pulled out another cigarette and lit it up.

"Ash." Maxima replied. K' shook his head, smirking.

"That faggot?" K' took in a drag before answering. "He's up to something. I don't really care since they say he's after Iori."

"Those new heros don't know a thing, do they?" Maxima was adjusting a slight glitch in his arm.

"K'?" A sudden voice was heard behind them. K' turned around to meet Kula's eyes for a second before then looking away.

"Hmm?" K' sucked in more from his cigarette.

"When are you going to sleep?" She asked him.

"In a minute." K' answered her coldly.

"Get back to bed, eh? You'll need your rest." Maxima cut in.

"Okay..." She sighed, then headed back inside a few moments later. Maxima chuckled slightly.

"Just like a kid, isn't she?"

"Whatever." K' threw away the cigarette as he headed inside.

"Tomorrow, my friend." Maxima reminded him. "We fight."

"Yea," K' answered. "and it better be worth my damn time..."
