I was debating all morning. Itching for another fight. But not with the other students. They did satisfy my needs. They weren't strong enough to stand against me. I got up at ten in the morning and dressed in a fiery orange dress with matching heels.
Ling shortly entered the room wearing a lime green t-shirt with shorts and matching sandals. Her hair was left down.
"I'm fighting Leo again." I told her. She turned to me sharply.
"Why? You promised!"
"Ling, you know I can't let her walk around without another shot. I need another fight." She bit her lip.
"Fine, but you have to take me shopping again." she told me. I smiled at her. That much I can handle.
I made my way to her room and knocked on the door. Asuka opened the door and look surprised to see me.
"What are you doing her?" she asked me in warning tones.
"I came to see Leo." I told her walking into their room.
I was surprised to see the german still asleep. She was facing me with her hand and leg hanging halfway off the bed. The covers barely concealing her t-shirt and boxers.
"Well, as you can see she is still sleeping. She was up late." Asuka told me. I nodded. "How'd you sleep?" she asked politely. I grimaced.
"I had to share a bed with Ling. She's a kicker." I rubbed my bottom for emphasis.
"Bummer." she said.
"Well then, when she wakes up tell her i will be outside." I said. I headed out the door.

It was already twelve and she still didn't come.
"Lili, eat some pizza, it's good." Ling told me, her mouth full. I looked at her in disgust.
"I already ate way too much last night. I'm watching my figure." Ling rolled her eyes.
"okay." ling put down a magazine she had in her hand. "Have you heard of a Michele Buorarroti?" she asked. I shook my head.
"Should I?" I asked her, doing my makeup.
"he's some type of adolescent murderer. He escaped from prison not too long ago."
"Yeah, that's nice. Does this red lipstick match my dress?" she sighed. My phone began to ring and it was Miharu.
"Hi, Lili." she said on the other line. "How's Italy?" she asked.
"It's fantabulous. How's China?"
"There's no place like home. I'm glad your having a good time. meet any cute guys."
"not yet." I pouted. She giggled on the other line.
"You'll get there." Just then a guy on a skateboard stopped in front of me.
"Hey, aren't you looking for Leo?" he asked. I nodded, creeped out on how he knew my business. "She's in the lobby." he said, and rolled away.
"I'll talk to you later Mimi." I handed the phone to Ling and walked inside the hotel. it was true. She was inside flirting with some guys.
"There you are Kliesen." I stated walking towards her. She muttered something to them and walked towards me.
"What do you want, Rochefort?" she asked. I took notice of her friends listening to our conversation. Leo looked behind her and they acted like they were talking to each other. She faced me again. I decided that it was probably a sign to continue.
"Okay, I think we both know you want a rematch from yesterday's match. So I'm willing to except your challenge." she blinked at me.
"Actually, I don't want a rematch. I made plans with my friends to see an italian movie." She did not just refuse an offer.
"Your actually refusing a fight. Or are you afraid I might beat you again?" Leo seemed to hesitate and shook her head.
"You won fair and square." she stated coldly. then she walked away.
"I will ask you one more time. Do you want a rematch. You will not get this oppurtunity again." She stopped at the steps where the guys she was previously talking to stood.
There was a private and silent three way understanding.
She continued walking up the steps.
"Fine whatever!" I spat.

"Oh my gosh Lili! look at these bracelets. Aren't they kawaii?" Ling asked me. We were going shopping like I promised her, but my heart wasn't fully set on it.
"Why did she refuse my offer?" I whispered. Ling looked up at me sympathetically.
"She excepted defeat." she twirled a strand of her hair nervously. "maybe, this is it. The fighting can stop. You can make a truce." she said hopefully, her eyes sparkling now.
"Ling, you know that's not going to happen." her face fell. We paid for our items and were now driving back to the hotel.
Ling didn't say a word during the entire car drive. I held her hand.
"Don't frown, Ling. You know I hate it when your sad." she looked at me sadly. We pulled up at a red light. When I noticed the pink car I locked gazes with my rival.
This could be interesting
I revved my engine. Leo looked torn but turned her gaze at the road ahead of her.
She is not getting away that easily.
I did it two more times trying to get her attention.
"Lili..." Ling stuttered. I ignored her. I drove up a little. This got her attention. I smiled at her and drove up more. I finally notice a dangerous glint in her eyes as she tightened the wheel.
"Ready..." I murmured.
"Lili...please..." Ling's voice began to shake.
"get set..." I set my focus on the road. The light turned green. "GO!" We both took off.
leo took the lead first. but not for long. The glowing hotel shimmered behind us. I glared at Leo's mirror, where she was looking at us from. Ling began to whimper.
"Lili! please! Don't!" she cried.
We drove under a tunnel, where it was pitch black. Ling screamed. I turned through a shortcut so I can surprise the pink car. When we finally made it out of the tunnel I jumped in front of her.
The idiot swerved upon seeing my appearence.
"Lili! You have to stop! I'm scared!"
I turned almost causing a big hummer to swerve as well. We drove all the way to the country side.
"hey, you crazy drivers!" yelled a man.
From the corner of my eye I saw the pink car pull up next to us. I pressed harder on the gas speeding past them. When I thought i had them, they cut me at a corner.
"Damn!" I swore. I had a plan up my sleeve. I drove near them trying to ram them. I missed though. But she ended up on the dirt. When she got back on the road I rammed into her.
"LILI!!" Ling screamed. When i thought i had her a large truck hit me and leo's car. My seatbelt broke and I rolled out of the car and off the edge.
"LILI!" Ling cried again. I grabbbed onto the ledge. Leo's car swerved to a stop and Leo fell out of the car.
"GAH!" she shrieked, tumbling towards me.
"Leo!" her friends got out of the car running my way. Leo fell off the edge and grabbed a hold of my legs. her weight made me almost slip.
"Lili, grab my hand!" Ling cried, tears poured down her face. Asuka's face was soaked with tears. Steve was horror struck and Hwoarang was twisted with shock a worry.
I tried to reach for Ling's hand, but she was too far. Then I felt the ground I was holding crumble under my hand.
It was too late, I fell following Leo. The last thing I saw before i shut my eyes was Ling's hand pulling back.
