Obstacle Course

My last academic class for today was finally over, and all that was left was the obstacle course. Stepping onto the training ground, I saw Yua at the other end. Talking with a group of people, Knite-su wasn't around however. The second bell rung, students that were in unorganized cliques, regrouped into a straight line, I was on the end as usual. As the final bell rung Knite-su came through the doors, not seeming to be in any hurry to make it on time, stepping into the the line of students and the spot next to me.

         "Now, the students who are participating in the obstacle course, come with me. Students who are not in the obsticle coarse do 30 laps now." Mr. Okono ordered in a booming voice.

The class split in half, our line following Mr. Okono going through the woods to the obstacle course. When we arrived, I noticed something was different about it. New rocks were on the ground, in a certain formation and pattern that I couldn't understand.

  "Everyone get your partner." Mr Okono instructed.

Students latched onto eachother in pairs,while Knite-su and I were already beside eachother, so I made no effort to find him or do anything to remind him that we were partners. I glanced over watching as Yua flirted with Errol giggling and touching him every chance she got. I swept my gaze over to Knite-su, who was whatching Yua. Maybe Yua was right they were dating, but i doubt it will last any longer not after today.

Knite-su noticed me staring up at him, and he shook his mind free of Yua as if he was in a trance.

"Don't get distracted by your girlfriend, we need to win." I told him, not hesitating to let him know she knew about him and Yua.

He opened his mouth to object, but Mr. Okono spoke out first, "Let's begin. Now, here is what is going to happen." He stepped closer to the rock formation.

"This is your ring." I looked to where he was pointing, and relised the rocks made a circle, "And you will be fighting in it."

"Is it going to be partners V.S. other partners?" Someone shouted.

The teacher shook his head, "No, it will be partners up against eachother."

Everyone seemed surprised, wanting to object. Of course they would, they got with their friend, and now they have to fight eachother. Though I didn't mind fighting Knite-su. I actually wanted to fight him. Show him that I am dominant, and he shouldn't be messing with me or my head.

"Ready to see the not-so-fragile- Kia?" I asked Knite-su, smirking up at him.

"Hm, I don't know. I kind of like you this way." He retorted. Rolling my eyes, I ignored his attempt to flirt.

"Kia, Knite-su I believe your up first." Mr. Okono announced.

Nodding and I stepped into the ring, I was starting to dread saying yes to Knite-su, something was missing. Like a last peice to the puzzle. Knite-su stepped into the ring as well, facing me with his cold dead expression. But I to had an expression that would send chills up anyones back. I have been waiting for this, to bloody Knite-su.

"Ready..." Mr. Okono said.

Though something about him was off, even though I hadn't seen him fight properly, I could tell by his small actions he was slightly distracted.

"Set..."

Being late, distracted by Yua, what was it?

"Fight..."

Knite-su jumped at me, but I rolled forward under him. Quickley turning to face him I pointed my noginota at him insuring he kept his distance. Knite-su gripped his sword in both hands and swung at my noginota, making it move to the side. Seeing a path right to me, he took it. I twirled with my weapon, before he got close enough to strike. But he jumped in the air and landed on the long handle of my noginota. My weapon was weighed down to the ground, quickley I let it go, and it turned back into a diamond. Knite-su smiled deviously, and I knew he wasn't going to show an ounce of mercy, but neither was I.
