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.
