A/N: Been a while, huh? Haven't been writing much lately... but I'm getting back into it.
Background: Everyone is training for combat, and has just started sparring full on with each other with their respective weapons. TK is one of Kari's regular sparring partners. Kari fights with chain-based weapons. Look up "meteor hammer" and "nine section chain whip" for an idea of what it's like.
Davis and Tai had been casually tossing around an apple in the kitchen (as casual as that was) when Matt staggered in and made a beeline straight for the fridge.
The younger immediately made note of the staff still slung over the blonde's shoulder. "Sparring?"
Matt nodded tiredly, grabbing what looked like a power drink and leftover pasta. He proceeded to grab a fork and collapse at the table, unceremoniously dumping the staff on the floor beside him.
Then he looked up directly at Tai.
"Your sister," he stated, "is scary to spar with."
Tai smiled proudly. "I told you. She's a big girl now, and all that training we've been through shows a lot in her."
Matt nodded back at him dumbly as he stuffed a pasta shell in his mouth. "No kidding," he mumbled as he chewed and swallowed. "Now I know why TK is so fast too, because he has to stay away from her whip... chain... meteor hammer... nunchuck... thing. I liked it better when we were unarmed."
Tai sat back slightly, tossing the apple between his hands. "Man, if she had been able to do that back during the Odaiba Incident, I don't think you and Sora would've had to worry as much. She's grown a lot..."
"...erk..."
The two elder boys turned to glance at Davis, who was looking between them with a slightly pale face. "I haven't sparred with her yet," he replied, seeming a little uneasy. "And I'm supposed to be her partner later today."
Matt and Tai looked at each other.
"Have fun."
"Good luck."
