Love At First Kick

48

He jumped in, scoring a fast point. My poor tummy.
The kick rang through the gym, earning some 'oooo's' and curses. They probably thought he wouldn't touch me.

But by now, I'm kind of used to him and his strength. I recovered right away, going for his head. I faked going for the shield then went over his arm, clipping him on the back of the head.

'Aish. Good one.' He chuckles, low-fiving me, then attacking right away with a spin kick into my shield, connecting a neryo to my head. He missed it just barely.

I jumped to the side last moment, attacking him with a neryo as well, hitting him dead on. I didn't even get a chance to continue as he back-kicked me so hard I fell on my ass.

I heard quite a few gasps again, but what else can I expect. And he, as usual, was laughing at me.

'That was just rude.' I joke as I'm getting up, taking his hand that he offered

'I need to win.' He grins attacking again, going right for my head, but this time I did a back-kick, pushing him back a bit

He gasped quite loudly. It made me chuckle a bit.

But I need to use this while he's gathering himself. I went in on him, connecting multiple combinations. He hates when I do this. Most people do.

'Not again.' I heard him laugh, then grunt when I hit his shield

He defended himself pretty well. I only got a few hits in.
'My turn.' He grins, doing his crazy triple round kick, connecting a spin-kick at the end. He kicked me damn hard, pushing me back. It made me more than wheeze. I barely kept in my breath.

I came back to the middle with him, starting over. I attacked first, going into his shield with a lightning speed, hitting him dead on. I heard him grunt as well, and Youji cheering me on.

He pulled me into a clinch but realised straight away what he did and tried to push me away. But I latched into him, not letting go.
'Not today.' I giggle clipping him from the back

He just started laughing, then did the same to me, making me laugh as well.

*Whistle blow*

'That was great.' He hugs me

'You were going easy on me. Did you try to lose or what?' I ask

We took off our helmets and got applause from everyone watching. Even the coaches were joining in, laughing.

'You two are insane to even watch! I thought you'd go easy on her.' Cheng, bless him, looks petrified

'If I went easy on her she'd take my head off.' Jimin tells him

'You did go easy on me, though. More so than usual.' I scold him

'This was going easy? I was in pain just hearing you get kicked.'WooYung says

'Can you even breathe?' Choo-Wa asks

'I'm all good. He pulled back a lot.' I smile at them

'You didn't. My damn stomach is burning. I think we might have sparred too much. You hit harder than Jungkook these days.' He chuckles as we sit down

'I didn't hit you full power either. But you did condition me into these kicks. You and Jungkook are monsters, so I'm used to it by now.' I sit down next to him

'I'd still rather fight him. You're not human.' He clicks his tongue

'I'd be offended if I didn't know what she can do.' Jungkook adds

'Let's continue then. Pair up guys.' Coach Han calls

'Jimin, wanna fight me next?' Neo asks him

'Sure.' Jimin nods at him, then turns to me
'Can I, just like, this much?' Jimin asks me, putting his index finger and thumb really close together, pouting as he says it. He's asking if he can beat him up at least a bit.
