I am enjoying myself sipping cream soda while I'm typing. Are you enjoying the story?

Italicized words = telepathic communicating

Chapter 16

Tien stood there for a few seconds with a stupid look of shock and surprise plastered onto his face. Kitsuma thought he looked funny standing there, his pants had smoking holes in them. In Kitsuma's opinion Tien looked like an idiot standing there, but it was all short lived when he pounced on her. He had her pinned on the ground, his eyes glaring down at her, time seemed to stop.

"How did you learn that", Tien demanded telepathically knowing she could hear him through her thoughts.

"I learned it from watching Roshi's students", Kitsuma replied.

Tien cut off the telepathic link in frustration. Kitsuma kicked him in the crotch causing him to tumble off her.

"No fair!", Tien cried.

"Listen to what Roshi said", Kitsuma chided.

"No! You and the old man are insane!", Tien screamed as he leaped towards her. Kitsuma dodged but her stomach started burning.

"Ow! My stomach! Its burning!", Kitsuma said."Your cheating!"

"I am not!", Tien said as he scanned the audience, There! Chiaotzu was pointing at Kitsuma.

"Chiaotzu! Stop now!", Tien screamed.

"Chiaotzu was obeying my orders,Tien! Embrace your destiny! Murder that girl like the inferior mesuinu she is!", Shin yelled.

"You've got me wrong.", Tien said softly looking at Kitsuma." I'm no killer.

"Chiaotzu! Paralyze them both! I'll go finish this myself!", Shin grumbled.

"No! I...I won't do it...I WON'T harm Tien Shinhan!", Chiaotzu said defiantly, Kitsuma felt a twinge of admiration for Chiaotzu. How loyal Chiaotzu is! Shin picked up Chiaotzu by the back of the collar and made ready to hit him when a hand tapped his shoulder. Shin turned around in time to get a head butt to the head, the pressure was enough to crack Shin's glasses. Shin said a few curses under his breath and flew away, leaving the audience to stare in shock.

Tien held a hand to her, looking away, his expression ashamed. Kitsuma took it, and Tien pulled her up.

"I will not kill you...just dodge when the time comes.", Tien said voice impassive. Tien lifted off the ground and took up an unusual pose.

"TRI BEAM...HA!", Tien screamed.

Kitsuma jumped up high right as the beam enveloped the stage.

"Ah there you are.", Tien's voice rang out, Kitsuma opened up her eyes. and used her flying technique to slow her descent.

"You can FLY?", Tien asked shocked.

"Yes, I was born with the ability.", Kitsuma said voice impassive.

"Why do you want the title so badly?", Tien asked as Kitsuma prepared herself to tell the story.

...Flash back...

Kitsuma remembered the roof leaking and the electricity flickering on and off, it had been months since her parents were killed. Fending for herself was the hardest thing Kitsuma had ever encountered, after recovering from her parent's deaths, she had gotten over her depression. She had became an accomplished hunter in a few months, her life was so hard, but her determination was stronger. She had survived months on end by her hunting, fishing, and farming.

Kitsuma was strong, after weeks of preparing food for the winter she finally had enough to last her for years. Kitsuma finally had enough time to train, she wanted answers to why Tao had done it.

...End flash back...

"I'm sorry, I didn't know my act caused that much pain and suffering", Tien said as he purposely lowered himself to the ground.

"Tien Shinhan hit the ground first, he is therefore disqualified. Kitsuma is the winner.", the announcer said.
