DC: Don't own Soul Calibur

It took Tetsuya a few good hours to reach the city of Kyoto.
The sun was setting as he reached the city gates.
'If I remember there should be a inn not far from here.' he said aloud as he got past the city gates.

Just then he saw a large group of people running towards the large river not too far away.
Tetsuya decided to check it out. When he got there he noticed a large raft.
It was floating, but not moving on the still river.
Around the raft were small boats. A large and portly man was yelling from one of them 'Step up, step up! Challenge our leading act! The lovely but deadly rose Saya!'

Tetsuya knew right then that this was a circus act.
He was about to turn away when he heard that same man yell 'Defeat her by some stroke of luck and win a large amount of Yen!'

That got his attention again. Extra money would always be useful.
Even more so due to how Tetsuya would be travelling around the land.
Tetsuya yelled 'I'll take her on!'

The man, who Tetsuya presumed to be the ring leader noticed him.
'Ah we have a fighter.' he said as he pointed to Tetsuya.

The boat was rowed over to the land where Tetsuya was standing.
Tetsuya took his seat and handed his bag to the man.
'Don't try to take anything from it. Or I'll go after you next.' he muttered to the ringleader.
Tetsuya was trained by Mitsurugi. Although he was a good hearted person, he did have a small mean streak.

After reaching the large raft Tetsuya lept onto it. He adjusted his black headband. Then he took out his katana known as the master. Just then a cloaked figure walked onto the raft.
It came off to reveal a young girl. She was about 16 years old. Even though her outift was odd.
The most unusual thing was she had a pair of cat ears. They were white and red and an inch tall.
As for the rest of her outfit, she wore a ruby choker. She had a half mask on that had a love heart pattern on it. There was also a smaller love heart on her other cheek. Her top was a jester's one. It too had love heart patterns all over it. Her navel was seen below it. She was wearing bellbottoms that had a bird pattern on the left side. Shoulder plates were on her and her arms had tiger lily gauntlets on them.
Her hair was blonde in fairy curls style. Behind her was a red cat tail and her shoes were lily greaves that showed her bare feet. Her weapon was a ring like prop. But Tetsuya did not doubt that it was deadly.
Suddenly his dream last night came to him. 'I think I saw her before in that dream!' Tetsuya thought to himself.

'All right lady's and gents we are going to get this show on the road!'
the ringleader said as fireworks flew into the air.

Tetsuya took a deep breath and entered his warrior state of mind.
He learned this from his Sensei Mitsurugi. It allows the user to ignore pain and focus on the fight.

The girl who was known as Saya gave a smirk. She held her ring with both hands. 'My you look like the powerful silent type.' she said in a naughty tone.

Tetsuya would show respect here and say 'I stand ready to face you.'

As the battle began Saya started it off by leaping into the air.
She put her ring under her feet and dashed downwards at a 45 degree angle.
Tetsuya's danger sense kicked in. He rolled to the right and avoided the attack.
Then he charged at Saya with a down the middle slash. Saya rolled back to avoid it.
When they were both at neutral stance, Tetsuya entered the mist stance and waited for Saya to make her move.

Thinking that Tetsuya made himself exposed, Saya dashed toward him.
She preformed a downward slash with her ring sword. Tetsuya did a small back step so the attack just missed him. He grabbed her and threw her down to the floor. After that he did an upward slash sending her rolling toward the edge of the raft.
She got back up, cursing under her mouth. There were a few tears on her jester top.
One was just above her C cup breasts.
Tetsuya blocked them from his mind and went on the attack.

Saya entered a foreward roll and was right next to Tetsuya.
She tossed her ring at Tetsuya. He was unable to avoid it,
the ring flew up with him on top of it. The ring came back to Saya like a boomerang. Tetsuya fell onto the hard wood with a thud.
'Shit!' Tetsuya cursed out as he slowly got back up.

He looked at the damage. His gi and chain mail were torn somewhat badly.
Some pain entered his belly. No doubt there were a few cuts on his chest.
Shaking his head he re-entered his battle mind state. His fighting energy was reaching it's peak. Tetsuya learned from Mitsurugi how every person who uses a weapon can tap into great bursts of power. However only a person who trains thier body and mind to it's peak can use it at it's full power.
Saya was not letting up on the attack. She dashed towards Tetsuya with intent to win.
He closed his eyes and prepared his blade. 'Upon my honor...Be gone!' he yelled as he nailed Saya with an uppercut slash. She did a helpless backfilp once before she was struck back down with a heavy downward cut. That was the ultimate move of Tenpu-Kosai. The witching hour.

Saya's jester top was cut to ribbons. Her voluptous figure was shown clearly to the public.
Tetsuya swore a blush was entering his cheeks. He knew little to nothing when it came to women.
His Sensei would always say 'It's always one thing or another with women lad.'

Saya looked down at Tetsuya's handiwork. Although she was wearing makeup, a furious face was on her and an even bigger blush was on her face. 'You...you...' she was lost for words other than that.

She dashed after Tetsuya. Intent on trying to lop his head off in rage. She swung the ring at Tetsuya's neck with her left hand.
However he sensed it coming. He rolled back and noticed he was near the edge of the raft. He turned his head to see Saya still on the attack.
She rode her ring, simliar to a flying kung-fu kick. Getting a good idea, Tetsuya waited until the last second and ducked.
'UNCOOL!' Saya yelled out as she flew into the river water.

Tetsuya brushed himself off and stood up. Saya was treading water not too far away from him.
The ringleader was shocked but said 'The boy prevails!'

Tetsuya bowed to Saya and said 'I apologise for what happened to you.
You were a good fighter.'

Saya was yelling swear words non-stop at Tetsuya.
Giving a sigh he left the place with his travel bag and reward money.
As he entered the inn the young man thought to himself 'Damm what a day. And that was just the first.'
But Tetsuya was not afraid. On the opposite.
Tetsuya's soul felt full of energy and excitement.

'I wonder if Sensei ever felt like this.'
Tetsuya mused to himself.

That's that for this one.
Don't worry about soon to be parents.
I'm making a chapter for that.
Also be sure to see my Skullgirls fanfic as well.
Really you just need to check my profile.
Anyway till next time.
