Chapter 7 Koigokoro

Tracy

Tracy was thinking about what Kasuke said, when there was a knock at the door.
“Oh, come in.” She was wondering who it could be when Akihiko walked in.
“Hi Tracy. How are you doing?”
She couldn’t believe it! Akihiko came to see how she was doing.
“Here, these are for you.”
Akihiko gave her a Dozen Red Roses. He was stunned! She didn’t know what to do.
“You’re blushing.”
Her eyes went wide and she covered her face with her hands. “Now I’m embarrassed!”
Akihiko laughed. “Sorry about that. I would of asked you to dinner but we’re in here still.” He smiled at her. She could feel the blood rushing to her cheeks. “So I bought these for you instead.”
“But why?” Were the only words she could say.
“Well, it’s not every day I get beat by a beautiful girl.” Their eyes locked.
“What is this feeling? Is it love?” She thought to her self. “No! I hate Him. I think I hate him?” She couldn’t think straight any more.
“Are you well enough to walk?”
“Well, she was well enough to try and escape, eh?” The Doctor stopped when he say her face. She gave him the Look of Death. “I think I’ll leave now. Bye!” The Doctor left the room right a way.
Akihiko looked at her and smiled. She blushed.
“So, you’re the one who ran into the glass door!” He laughed and then smiled at her.
“So, about what I said. Will you walk with me a little?”
She didn’t know what to do. Akihiko gave her his hand. She toke his hand and got out of bed. She collapsed and he caught her in his arms.
“I guess you used to much energy today.” She Blushed. “May I carry you in my arms then?”
She was taken back by surprised! “Aaa, Sure.”
Then he gently picked her up and cradled her in his arms. She felt like she belonged there. So as he carried her down the hallway, she put her head on his shoulder and her arms around his neck, and then fell asleep.

Chapter 6 Doushite

All he saw was stars, then nothing.
“Oooohh… my head hurts. Huh! Why do I feel so heavy?” Tigra opened his eyes and yelled in shock! “WHAT!? What’s going on!?”
Tigra found himself tied to a bed and in a pink dress. Tracy stood at the foot of the bed with a huge smile. Sakura was there, too. With a camera.
“Laugh at me will ya?” she said with an evil grin, “Sakura, camera please.”
“Whaa… What are you two going to do with me?” Sweet fell slowly down his face.
Tracy brought the camera up to her eye and smiled a wicked smile.
“So, Sakura, is Tome ready for those photos?”
“Yes. She said she’d put them in the school paper.”
“NANI!? Come on Tracy!” He wined
“Snap!

Kasuke

“Yuna, I need to talk to him. He needs to know what happened.” She looked at Yuna and could see that she was still having a hard time with this. “Is something wrong, Yuna?”
“Well, yes there is.” She took a deep breath and tried not to cry. “I just can’t trust him yet. For six months, I though he had done that on purpose.” Kasuke looked worried. Then Yuna smiled and laughed. “So, it will be hard, but I trust you.”
Kasuke’s face light up with joy. “Arigatou!”
“So let’s go see if he’s still here.”

Yuna pushed Kasuke in a wheel chair to where she had meet Tracy. They saw her in the hallway talking with a friend.
Tracy shot strait out of her chair in shock. “Ka… Kasuke!! You’re awake!” Tracy walked over to them, knelt down and bowed her head and started to apologize.
“Don’t! You don’t have to do that.” Pleaded Kasuke. “It wasn’t his or your felt, that I’m here.”
Tracy looked up with tears in her eyes. Sakura was surprised, by what she did, and wanted to know what was going on.
“I need to talk to you both. Where is Tigra?”
Tracy and Sakura looked at each other and Busted up laughing. With tears in their eyes they pointed to the room they were in font of.
“He’s in there!” They started laughing even more.
Kasuke and Yuna looked at each other puzzled. Then they opened the door and walked in. Their eyes went wide in surprise! Tigra was tied to the bed and was wearing a pink dress with duck tape over his mouth!
“What Happened!?” The both said at the same time, and started laughing. It took them 10 mins to stop laughing, and then they finally untied him.
“Sorry about laughing at you, but that was so funny!” Kasuke giggled.
Tigra just stared at the ground. Then with deep sorrow, “Kasuke… how can you every forgive me?” He started to cry. “I could have killed you! But you still want to talk to me? Why!?”
“That’s because you weren’t the one who did this to me.”
Every one looked at her in shock and surprise.
“Wha… what do you mean!?” Tigra said in awe.
“Let me tell you what happened. I remember running at you getting ready to attack, when every thing went black. When I awoke, I was in a place I’ve never been before. Then I heard a Voice. I couldn’t see anyone. Then I felt something evil. Then I saw him. He graved me by the neck and told me, I had one month to train, then He’d came to kill me.
Yesterday I finally defeated him. The only clue I have of who he is, is his name.” She took a deep breath. “His name is Ghost.
The room went silent. Everybody was trying to understand what this meant.
“Please Tigra, I want you to be my friend.” She smiled at him. She could see him crying.
“Thank You! Thank you so much Kasuke!” Tigra just cried. A heavy burden had finally been lifted from his shoulders. Kasuke walked up and gave him a hug.

Chapter 5 Akumu

Tracy

Tigra and Sakura went to the hospital to see how Tracy was doing. When they entered the room, they couldn’t believe what they saw! Tracy was tied to the bed!
“What happened!?” Asked Sakura.
“Tracy…. Did you try to leave without the Doc’s permission?” Teased Tigra.
Tracy just glared at him with a warning in her eyes, but he just couldn’t pass this up.
“I can’t believe it! Nobody was ever been able to tie you up!’ He started to laugh. “I can’t wait to tell everyone!”
Suddenly, there was a loud nose. They both looked up to see what it was. Tracy had snapped the leather restrains!
With fire in her eyes, “STOP LAUGHING AT ME!!!!”
Tigra ran to the door as fast as he could, but it was too late. Tracy graved a chair and through it at him!
“WACK!!!” It hit him right in the head! It was lights out for him.

Kasuke

Yuna set by her bedside, as Kasuke got ready to tell her what really happened that day. Kasuke was ready to tell her story. She liked Yuna right in the eyes.
“I want you to know that Tigra didn’t hurt me on propose. This is what really happened.”

She set in the locker room waiting to be called out. Yuna was with her.
“Kasuke-chan, please don’t fight him. He’s really strong. Please Don’t.”
It’s only him and me. I’ve got to win this one. I’ll be okay.” She smiled at her. “Yuna-chan, we’ve both been through my father’s training. He’s one of the best. So don’t worry.” They hugged and they walked to the door.
He was waiting for her. “When she comes out, I’ll be ready.” He said under he’s breath. “Yoshi won’t even know what happened.” He laughed, and started to chant.
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to the Finals! We have a special treat tonight! A Boy Vs. A Girl match! Which Jr. High will come out victorious? Only time will tell.”
“And Here they come, fore Koshi Junior High, we have the Powerful Tigra Sotome!”
The Crowd went wild!
“And for Oguchi Junior High, we have the Angelic Guardian from Heaven, Kasuke Fujishima, the daughter of Yoshi Fujishima!”
The whole crowd irrupted! They made their way to the ring.
“Fighters, Bow. Take your places. Fight!”
Nobody moved. They just stared at each other. Both waiting to see who would go first. They shout the world out. There was no sound, no others then them. They were alone. Without warning Kasuke darted to the slide. Tigra followed with his eyes. Watching, waiting to see if she would get closer.
As she came closer to his side, he swung to the left. Wood clashing broke the silence. They continued on. It was almost like a dance. Each person knowing their move, their place and their time.
They jumped back and looked at each other, smiling. They both know that they had found that fighter they’ve always wanted.
They changed their stance and ran at each other. They both prepared to strike their opponent.
Without warning, Kasuke dropped her guard and her eyes went lifeless! Tigra continued his advance and swung hard, hitting her right in the head! Blood spattered everywhere! He looked down at his hands. They were covered in valet red Blood.
He looked down at Kasuke and screamed No as loud as he could. He put his hand to his face in shock! He had won…. But at what cost?
They were both taken to the hospital. Kasuke was rushed into surgery.
When Kasuke wake up, she was in a place she’d never seen. The sky was orange and she was in a small town. The wind was blowing.
“Where…. Where am I?”
She looked around in awe. Then came a voice out of the wind. She looked to see who it was, but didn’t see anyone.
“Welcome Fujishuma. My Name is Ghost. Your daddy’s fan sent me to kill you… HAHAHAHA!!!!”
“What!? Where are you!? Show yourself!”
She looked around, but couldn’t see anyone. Then her eyes went wide! Fear went up her spine. She turned around and jumped! He was standing right behind her.
He was dressed like a ninja in green, and his ears and tail was red. He graved her by the neck and raised her of the ground.
She couldn’t breath, and started to cry.
“Is this the end? Father, I’m sorry.” She was about to give in when he spoke to her.
“Lesson. I will give you a month to train. Then I will come and kill you, using what ever I can. Be Prepared!”
He through her on the ground. She started gasping for air. When she looked up, he was gone.
“One Moth? What will I do?”

“It took a long time before I could defeat him. He would only attack daring the day.
“Then I heard you crying and I called to you. I shot my chi at him and I saw you here.”
They looked at each other and cried tears of joy.

Chapter 4 Tesaki

“Good Morning Hamazaki High! I'm Ichan Mayoto, your favorite news reporter! Yesterday Akihiko Watsuki, the school kendo champ, lost his first match after two years of no loses to Tracy Sotome. Yes, that's right! It took a girl to bring down this giant! You go girl! I've heard of David and Goliath but never of Daniel and Goliath! Our fair maiden and good-looking giant are both at the hospital recuperating. With both of them badly hurt yesterday, will this be the end of our fighters? Only time will tail. This is Ichan Mayoto for HHSTV saying, sayonara!”
“Tenchi, is this true?” A mysterious purple haired girl asked.
“Yes me lady, it's all true. Tigra did not fight.” A white and orange cat answered.
“Have we been following the wrong Sotome?” She bit her thumb and worried about her plans. “I was really hoping to be the one to break the rules but it looks like Tracy beat me to it. I guess that I’ll have to win ageist her and claim my vengeance on the Sotomes.” She glanced into space.
Tenchi was worried about her because she wasn't herself.
“Miss Yuna, are you okay?” He asked with sadness in his voice.
“Yes Tenchi, I'm fine, thank you.” She fell back to her thoughts, and started to recall when Kasuke and her would practice together with her father and the fun they had.
“Why didn't you listen to me that day? If you had, we would still be together.” She said it to herself, and begins to cry.
“Yuna!? What's wrong?”
“It's nothing.” She said whipping her tears away. “I'm going to see Kasuke. Go and watch Tracy. Tell me what she can do.” She told Tenchi.
She walked to the door with him and walked out. Tenchi went to the elevator and got in. The doors closed and he started yelling.
“Open the DOORS!!! AAAAAA!!!!” The doors had closed on his tail.

Tracy

“Well, you're doing better today.” The doc said.
“My Sensei taught me to always try to get better as soon as possible.” She told him and started doing push ups.
The doc looked at her with awe. Two days ago she came here with a sprained wrist and some broken ribs, and now she's doing push ups!
“Have you stopped chuffing up blood yet?” He asked her.
“Yes I have. And I'm finally able to eat again.”
“Well, A few more days and you can go home.”
“NANI! (what) I'm going home today!”
“Oh no you're not! I sorry young lady, but you'll only go home if I say so.” He looked at her hopping she wouldn't hit him. “Would you like to know how Akihiko is doing? Because your boyfriend was worried about you....”
“NANI!!!! JERK!!!! His not my BOYFRIEND!!!!” She screeched at him ready to kill him.
“ACONISI!!!! AAAAA!!!!(SORRY!!!! AAAAA!!!!)
She had a chair in her hands and ready to hit the doc with it.

Yuna

She heard some commotion at the hospital and looked in the room. She saw the doc on the ground and a girl with a chair in her hands.
“What's going on here?” She asked as she walked in.
They looked up and saw a purpled haired girl walk in. She didn't have fur on her face, but everywhere you could see did. Her fur was black, and she had violet eyes. Her long hair was tied up in ponytails. She wore black with a purple trench coat.
“Did he touch you somewhere he shouldn't?”
“NANI?!!” They both said at once. They looked at one anther and turned away blushing.
“I'll let her explain!!” And with that, the doc ran out of there.
Tracy told her what the doc said to her and they both laughed.
“Hi, I’m Yuna Tomisawa.” She said.
“And I’m Tracy Sotome.”
Yuna looked in disbelief. She just meet her enemy, but... she was so kind. No way she could be Tigra's sister.

Tracy

“What? Why are you looking at me like that?”
Yuna couldn't just ask her and yet she wanted to find out.
“Oh sorry. I was caught of guard. You're the one that beat Akihiko Watsuki!?” She was hoping to through her off.
“Yes, that's me! I'm the first girl on a boy's kendo team!”
“Wow! That's Awesome! Well I’ve got to be going now. Nice to meet you, bye.”
Then she left the room with a smile. Tracy didn't understand what was all about, but she was happy to make a new friend.
She got her stuff together and left the room. She went to the front lobby. She looked to see if the coast was clear. She started walking to the door....
“There she is!! Get Her!!!”
It was the same doc from before! She started running at full speed. She turned and looked behind her. She turned back and smiled.
“Hmm.. they’re not that.....”
WHACK!!! Tracy suddenly fell down. She looked up and yelled..
“I Hate glass DOOORS!!!” Then she fainted.

Yuna

She left the room and started walking to the elevator. Her thoughts were in disarray. She didn't know what to believe. She always thought that Tracy would be like Tigra.
“I don't understand. He's a heartless beast! After what he did to her, how could she be so kind?”
She got off the elevator and walked to room 302, and went in.
“Hi Kasuke. How are you today?” She toughed her hand to her check. She could only hear the beeps of the manatees. She looked at Kasuke. She had blue eyes like her father's and she had her mothers pink hair and brown fur.
“I just met Tracy Sotome, and she's a really nice person.” Nothing. “I don't want to fight her but if it's the only way....”
She started to cry. It had been six months sense she's been here and Kasuke has been in a coma the whole time.

Kasuke

She was breathing hard. The fight was taking way to long.
“I need to end this! I need to beat him so I can get out of here and tell them what happed!”
BOOM!! She was thrown backwards hitting the wall behind her. When see came to, she could see him . She looked down at her hand and saw that she was bleeding. She was hurt bad this time. She know that it was now or never.
“I'm going to defeat you!” She yelled. “You will not take my soul! Do you hear me!!” She looked and saw him laughing.
“You!? HAHAHA!!! You think you can defeat me? It's been six months and you still can't beat me. Hahahaha!”
“Stood up and she started focusing her chi in her hands.
“Wha... What are you doing?! When did you learn to do that? Hm.. It's no use, you're not as strong as me.” Then he started to do the same thing.
She looked at him and glared at him.
“That's see who's stronger!! AAAAAAAaaaaaa!!!”
She put her hands in front of her and released her chi at him.
“You will not defeat ME!!! Now die!!” Then he did the same.
The beams hit each other with a loud zapping sound.
“I will not let you go back, Kasuke!!!”
His beam was edging closer to her.
“Tenchi... Father.... Mother.... YUNA!!!”
She could hear something.. it was crying... it sounded like Yuna!
“Yuna, is let you?!”
Yuna shoot strait up. She looked around the room wondering who said that.
“Yuna, can you hear me?!”
Her eyes went wide! Her looked at Kasuke and saw her face. It looked like she was fighting.
“Yes... I can hear you!!!” She started to cry. “Fight it Kasuke!!! Come back to US, KASUKE!!!”
Kasuke's blue eyes burned red with hope!
“You want my soul!!? Then Take it!!”
She put her whole into her beam. It exploded with energy! It rocketed back to him in seconds!
“How... how can this be possible!! She never had this power before!! AAAAAA!!!” BOOOM!!!!
She looked and couldn't see him any more.

Yuna

“Kasuke!! Please..... please come back to us..”
She looked at her and Kasuke had stopped moving. Yuna didn't know what to do.
“KASUKE!!!! NOOOO!!!” She burned her face on the bed and started to cry.
She cried and then felt a hand on her shoulder.
“It's okay.”
“No it's not! She's Died!!”
“Yuna, I'm fine! Please stop crying!”
Yuna shoot strait up and looked Kasuke strait in the eye.
“KASUKE!!!” Yuna gave her a huge hug.
They hugged and they both started to cry tears of joy.

Chapter 3 Yui

Tracy

Everyone was in the boys' dojo waiting to see what sensei Yoshi would say. Tracy was talking to Sakura about what happened.
“Yeah! Sensei Yoshi came up to see what the problem was and he let me sign up!” She said happily.
“Really!? Wow! I've heard that Yoshi is very hard to please. How'd you do it!?”
“I don't know. He just looked into my eyes and said I could join, but I’d have to prove myself to him.”
“Wow! You are lucky! Oh, hi Tigra! Aren't you going to try out too?” She asked.
Tigra suddenly felt a pain in his chest and the memories came rushing back.
“Tigra.... did I say something wrong?” Sakura asked worried. She looked at both of them and saw something there that they weren't telling her.
“No, I wouldn't be trying out this year.” He said when he saw her looking. “Sorry about that, Sakura.” He said then laughed.
Sakura looked puzzled. “Well that was weird!” She said to herself.
“No I not trying out because, I’m afraid of Tracy.” He joked.
“Oh, are you?” She asked. They all laughed.
He was in the back of the room, but he could see them from where he was. He only hoped that this time wouldn't be like last time. He couldn't remember what happened that time, except that a bird or something dropped a big rock on him.
Suddenly the dojo went quite as Yoshi come in. He looked at all the people there to try out. He smiled and then looked right at Tracy and stopped. His mouth dropped in surprise. He was looking at Tigra. He know him.
“Could that be him? No, it couldn't.” He said to himself. “Kasuke, if it is him I will not let him leave here. This time he will be the one to...”
“Sensei Yoshi! Are you okay? We're all wanting to hear what to do.” A first year said.
“Sorry about that. You're right, let's get stared.” He announced.
Tigra was trying to figure out why Yoshi was looking at him.
“Everyone, I’m Yoshi Fujishima!” He said with power and pride. “I am your new sensei. Now, I only need 20 people for my team. Remember that it doesn't matter if you’re a first year or a third year. I choose a new team every year. Do I make myself clear?” He looked at all the faces of the people. “So, if you were on my team last year and thought you'd stay on, you were mistaken.” He could see some angry students out there.
“Now I have something different to speak about.” Everyone started looking at each other in wander. Wile not everyone.
“I but it's about you Tracy.” Sakura giggled.
“What! Why me?” She asked with a smile.
“This year I have let a girl sign up for the boys' team.” Everyone started talking at once.
“Let me finish!” He had to raise his voice to silence them. “I know this is the boys' team, but when someone shows you in their eyes that they can, you let them prove it to you.” He could see that some people were not happy with this decision.
“What! Are you crazy!” One of the third years said. “A girl? She'll get hurt if she plays with us!”
Tracy stood strait up; you could see flames burning in her eyes.
“And whit do you know of me!!?” She yelled at him.
“You're the girl?” He looked at her in surprised. He had never seen someone so beautiful before. “No, didn't think like that. She's not going to be on the team.” He said to himself.
“What are you starring at?” She said uneasy.
“Ah.... nothing.” He said blushing.
“Sense you don't think I can fight with you, why don't you fight me right now!” She demanded.
“What! I can't do that, you're a girl!” He said.
Yoshi was very interested about this. “I think that would be a good way to show everyone that a girl can be on the boys' team.” He paused thinking what to do. “We will have the fight right now. Tracy Sotome VS Akihiko Watsuki!” Announced Yoshi.
Akihiko was 5 foot 8, of average build, and tan colored fur. He has blue eyes, green hair, and his ears are on top of his hair. His face has no fur on his face, but has a scare over his right eye.
Everyone set in the bleachers and got ready for the fight. Both of the fighters were wearing their uniforms, so it didn't take long to get ready.
“I hate to fight a girl, but I have to win this. After all, I was the champ two years in row.” He was trying to convince himself that she would be no problem, but he know that she was mad at him.
“I'll fight him and make him cry.” She said to Sakura.
“Be carefully, he has a beautiful face, he might want to ask you out.” She teased.
“What!!! Go out with him!! No way!!!” She yelled at her.
“Okay, But why are you blushing like that?”
"Blushing!! What are you talking about?" She said turning her head and looking the other direction to avoid Sakura's eyes.
"You saw who he was looking at you."
"So what, aa h-he probably just was scarred. Yeah, that’s it, he was scarred..."
"Of asking you out." She cut her off with a smile.
"Grrrrrr. Stop, okay! I think he's cute, Alright?"
"Okay you two, stop talking. The match is about to start." Tigra said. They both stack their tongs at him. "What was that for?"
Yoshi was in the ring getting ready. "Ladies and gentlemen, we will now show you what a true fighter is. If Tracy can win this, she will be on the team. And now, First we have the two year in a row champ, Akihiko Watsuki!" The crowd went wild. He walked up to the ring and smiled at the crowd.
"I can do this! I have to keep her off the team, for her own safety." He told himself.
"And now, the person you've all been waiting for, Tracy Sotome!" The whole school irrupted! Akihiko was surprised at what he heard.
"I couldn't believe this!" He said out loud.
Tracy looked in awe at the crowd. She was taken back by the support she was getting from everyone. She walked to the ring in a daydream like state.
"I never thought that they would cheer me on like this. I will make the team and prove that girls are just as good as boys!" She said to herself.
"Now, you two know the rules, right?" Asked Yoshi.
"Yes!" They said together.
"Okay. I will only stop the fight when someone is down for a 10 count."
The two fighters looked at each other, waiting for the word to attack the other. They had pushed a side their emotions, at lest Tracy had. Akihiko was still not into fighting a girl. It just wasn't him.
"Akihiko!! If you do not fight me with all your strength, I will never forgive you as long as I live! Do you understand me, Akihiko!?" She was crying! Akihiko couldn't believe that she was really crying. She whipped her eyes and reengaged her composer.
"Tracy.. I didn't want to fight you, but after what I just saw, I will fight you with everything I have. I know this is very important to you. I give you my work."
With that, she smiled. "Origato, Akihiko!!!" (Thank you) She said.
"You guys ready to fight?" Yoshi Asked.
"Hi!!"(Yes) They said at once.
"Okay, Fight!!"
The fighters just stood there. They were both ready to strike. They were waiting for the other to make the first move. Tracy then changed her stance. She put her sword strait in front of her and stood strait up and closed her eyes. She pushed every sound out but what was in the ring. She focused her gegohn eye (three eye) to fight with everything she had.
"What are you doing! Open your eyes!" Yell Sakura.
"It's no use. She can't hear you now Sakura. She closed off the out side world." Tigra told her.
"What do you mean?"
"Your sensei taught us how to use the third eye, the Gegohn Eye. He better be careful."
"The Gegohn! I that it was only real in fair tales! Wow... You go Tracy!!"
Akihiko Has taken back. He didn't want to attack someone when their guard was down. He couldn't understand what he was doing. He lowered his sword a little and without warning she attack with whole force! She swung her sword to the side and Akihiko could barely block the attack. She continued attacking him.
"How can she see me without her eyes!? I guess she doesn't need them after all." And with that Akihiko started to attack back.
He lunged started at her but she was to fast. She dodge it and hit he right on the shoulder. She slid to a halt. He couldn't believe it! No one has ever done that to him. Tracy changed her stance and waited.
He didn't know what to do. She Fight differently then any other fighter he had fight before. He rubbed his should. Then he got ready and charged her. With one swing her sword she toke he down, but he also hit her in the arm.
He was down for the count. "One... Two..... Three... Fou..." He got up and got ready to finish the fight.
"I'm ready to finish this! What about you!" The he change his stance. She could recognize
that stance. If was his finishing move that won him the title of champ. So she changed her's as while.
"Okay Thats see who while come out victories!" She said.
The atmosphere was thick in excitement. They waited, stairing at each other. The all at once they ran at each other. They Swung, and the whole room went silent.
"You're worthy to be my opponent, no doubt about it."
"So are you.." She started chafing. See looked at her hand and there was blood on it.
Then Akihiko fainted and fell to the floor. "....Nine... Ten! Tracy in the winner!" The crowd went wild. Tracy smiled at Sakura and Tigra. She then fell to the floor holding her stomach in pain.
Sakura and Tigra ran to her.. "Call a medic NOW!! They're both in bad shape!" He yelled to Yoshi. "Sis just go to sleep, okay."
"Okay. I did it, am on the team." She said with tears of joy. Then see closed her eyes and fell a sleep.
