Blue eyes

Chapter 31: An Annoying Giant Fly

So I realized....my chapters can be super long....I don't know how I just realized that. Readers, please let me know if they are too long for your taste. From now on I'll try to make them shorter.

Kaneko grunted as she struggled to push you back with Donnie's bo staff. You note her barefoot morphed to changed ever so slightly wolfish. Her foot trudged forward and dug into the carpet, pushing you back.

You put more force behind your bokken then swooped your leg under hers making her fall. She landed on her back with an oof.

"Did you see what you did wrong?" you rest the bokken on your shoulder with your other hand on your hip.

She stands back up lurched forward and hands on her knees, panting. "I lost my balance?" She huffs.

"No you had perfect balance." you start to spin the sword in your hand. "The problem was the direction of power, in other words, the flow of power."

"Flow?"

"Flow of power it's the base of all movements in martial arts. Your body creates an action or a burst. You could have reacted differently and intercepted my move."

"I want a try at this!" Mikey suddenly joins in next to Kaneko.

You chuckle confidently and raise the bokken.

"May I even the odds?" Leo stood beside you taking up his own bokken.

"Why thank you, good sir."

"Ugh their at it again." Mikey whispers to Kaneko she smiles in reply.

"Hajime!" Leo starts the match.

Expectantly the two younger members of the team attack you directly. You parry them. And whenever Mikey would use his chain you grab it and throw it from tangling you.

A chill ran up your skin. You turn around holding up the bokken inches from your face and guarding Leo's sword. "I thought you were on my side!" He jumps back as you aim to strike his head.

"I said I'd even the odds not who's side I'd join." he grins.

"You little-" Kaneko aimed for your legs with the staff you jumped kicking her back. Mikey also attacks you but like bullfighting in Spain, you dodge his sudden charge. Kaneko gets back and smiles as you land on the floor again. "Hmm?" Leo jumps back into the game clashing weapons with yours and pushing you back. You do the same movement from earlier, aiming for his legs and he falls back. You peer down to your feet. A chain was sprawled out like a circle around your feet. It tightens onto your legs, capturing you. "Woah!" Mikey had pulled on the chain making you fall. The three members fist bump at their victory. "Nicely played but you still didn't understand or feel the flow of power."

"Can you demonstrate for us?" Leo asks.

"Of course but fair warning I'm still teaching myself. I need a volunteer."

"Oh me!" Leo exclaims. He wanted the chance of fighting one on one with you again and learn this new technique you've been working on.

"To ensure safety we'll start with hand to hand."

"Fine by me." he raised his fists. However you didn't get into any stance, you didn't even raise your hands in defense.

"Go on." you coo confidently, expecting him to attack first. He attacks, throwing a punch you evade moving your head from each of the first few attacks. He changed tactics, flattening his palms going to strike your nerves. 'Ah ah uh not so fast.'

Kaneko's ears point toward you her eyes soaking up what she's seeing. You finally raise your hand it was open all the fingers spread. As Leo's hand came down on you, aiming for your neck for a knockout. Your fingers are lined up with his and stops his hand movement entirely. He grunted as he couldn't move the hand forward and when he tried to bring his hand back you pushed your hand down on it, pressuring it to stay against yours.
