Oops... (Kazuya/Open)

Like mostly all the students in the hallway, Kazuya was standing at his locker, grabbing the books he needed, before packing them into his shoulder bag. Once he had grabbed what he needed, he slammed his locker door shut, and turned to head out of the school, only to feel something collide into his torso, his arm instinctively moving to catch whatever had slammed into him, as he ended up face to face with... nothing? There was no one in front of him, or so he thought, as he looked around and then down, and saw it had been a girl that had ended up face to face with him... well, more like her face to his stomach, as he easily towered over her. Why is it no matter where he went, he always towered over the girls? ["... Yeah, I'm alright, are you okay?"] He asked, as he bent down slightly, now the same height as the girl, as he got a good look at her face. She looked like a typical Asian girl, Japanese he guessed, but her eyes, they were what really stood out. They looked exactly like a cat's eyes. Talk about different, but then again, Kazuya couldn't really talk, his eyes looked much like a hawk's, extremely fierce and intense despite the confidence that shone in them.

["You might want to watch out, most students here would jump at an excuse to punch the lights out of someone, they don't give a rat's ass if it's a girl or not."] Kazuya said, as he moved back over to his locker, leaning against the door, as he folded his arms across his chest, waiting for the hallway to clear out, once it had, he continued to stay leaning against his locker, as he noticed the book the girl was carrying. "... Library?" He asked, as he motioned with his head at the book, as he heard the sound of footsteps coming down the hallway. "That's her!" He heard a girl's voice cry out, as he looked past Mitsukai from the corner of his eye, and saw a very angry, very pissed guy with a girl hanging onto his arm. "You got some nerve, growling at my girlfriend like that!" The guy rumbled, as he started towards them, but before anyone could even react, Kazuya had already pushed off his locker, and before the guy could even blink, Kazuya had decked his lights out with a right hook. "Pathetic..." Kazuya muttered, as the guy crumpled to the floor in a daze, his girlfriend trying to get him to stand up, which was currently unsuccessful.

Kazuya nodded his head slightly, at least the girl was alright, if it had been someone else, he was sure they wouldn't think twice about yelling at and fighting the girl, something that Kazuya knew too well about, he had experienced his fair share of random outbursts of fights, not just here at Public High School #259, but also back at Public High School #42. Definitely wise to not piss off any of the stronger students in the school, Kazuya didn't know how high he stacked up against them, but in actuality, he was one of the stronger students. Though it seemed that the peaceful moment didn't last for very long, as the girl that rammed into Mitsukai, came back, with her angry boyfriend in tow. Kazuya cocked an eyebrow, you have got to be kidding me... She ran crying to her boyfriend, and wanted him to get Mitsukai back for growling at her, when she had been at fault? Sometimes the things people do absolutely amazed him. But before Mitsukai could say anything else, though her first and only retort did make him smirk, Kazuya had punched the lights out of the guy, as he fell to the floor like a sack of potatoes.

"... He was starting to annoy me." Kazuya replied, shrugging his shoulders casually, fully facing Mitsukai, as things went back to peaceful... or maybe not, as a group of the guy's friends rushed past Kazuya over to their friend. "Hank?" One of them said tentatively, kneeling beside the twitching body on the floor. "Get his head up," One of the other jocks ordered anxiously. Kazuya laughed inwardly. That was always good advice if a person might have a broken neck. It would kill them instantly. While two of the big guys tried to get their friend back up, the third stood and moved up to Kazuya. "You wanna tell me what happened?" Kazuya shrugged, glancing down at the still-twitching jock without fully turning around. "I don't know." "What do you mean you don't know?" the guy demanded. Kazuya watched the guy's hands clench up into fists. Clearly the guy wanted a fight. "Maybe he's sleepy," Kazuya said sarcastically. "How would I know?" The guy grabbed the back of Kazuya's jacket and spun him around. "What? Are you trying to be funny? Come on, just give me an excuse to stomp your ass." Kazuya looked at the guy in mild interest. Then with a quick spin, he drove his elbow directly into the guy's face. The feeling of smashing flesh and the sound of the guy's nose breaking were beautiful. Pure poetry.

The guy dropped to the floor faster than his friend had. Kazuya shook his head. These guys were big, which meant they had more weight pulling them down. And clearly they had no threshold for pain. "That excuse enough for you?" Kazuya asked as the guy as he laid there, clutching at his nose. The other two were on Kazuya quick, considering their size. He let them pin his arms, let them think they had him, as they held him one on each side. The guy with the busted nose slowly climbed to his feet and faced Kazuya, who was now pinioned between the jock's two friends. Blood streamed down the guy's chin and dripped onto his jacket, turning his jacket dark. Kazuya just smiled. That infuriated the guy even more, and he reared back. He placed his anger behind his fist and hit Kazuya square in the face. Kazuya moved his head slightly, timing the turn with the punch. The blow hit him solidly against the chin. He'd felt worse before. Not only was this guy big, he was weak on top of it. The guy looked surprised, and held his hand as if he had hurt it. More than likely the idiot had. The two who thought they were holding Kazuya clutched tighter.

Kazuya shook his head from side to side. "That was pathetic." The broken-nosed jock took another full swing, this time hitting Kazuya in the gut. Kazuya doubled over, pretending the guy had actually hurt him. As he was bent over, he clenched his fists and pushed the knuckles of each hand against the a leg of one of his captors. Then he activated his Qi. Flames engulfed both his arms. Flames burned through cloth as if it wasn't there. Both jocks suddenly shouted in pain and let go, each grabbing his leg. The bloody-nosed jock stared at his two friends as they collapsed to the floor and screamed in pain, burns seen on their legs. "What did you do?" he demanded, panic beginning to edge into his voice. Kazuya stepped towards the guy. "You always ask the same stupid question?" The guy backed off slowly, as he saw Kazuya's flame engulfed arms, and stared wide-eyed at him. "Run." He said into the jock's face. The guy tripped over himself as he scrambled down the hallway, clearly not caring about his friends, who were still writhing in pain on the floor. Kazuya took a moment to glance around, as he made eye contact with Mitsukai, flames still covering both his arms. "..."

Kazuya knew he wasn't the only one with a flame-based Qi, Matrim had one, his shield Qi having disappeared and replaced with a flame-based one, much like what Kazuya was currently able to do without much repercussions, after the real Kazuya had died at Point Hope. He guessed the pain of losing your real best friend and rival was enough to morph a Qi into something entirely different than the previous one. Gabriel's Qi was similar too, in that his was heat-based, instead of flame-based. Deactivating his Qi, Kazuya followed in the direction the girl was looking at as he saw her gaze drift down to the two jocks lying on the ground withering in pain from the burns on their legs, while the first jock Kazuya had punched out was still lying unconscious on the ground, his girlfriend still sobbing over him. As if THAT was going to wake him up.

"I got nothing else to do right now." Kazuya replied, casually shrugging his shoulders, as he headed in the direction of the nurse's office, walking beside Mitsukai, his hands in his pockets. "I'm Kazuya, but ya can call me Kazu. What's your name?" He asked, as he continued down the hallway. He didn't actually know that Mitsukai was the current Varsity Captain, his former old title before he had given it up willingly, and even if he did know, he wouldn't fight Mitsukai for it anyways, despite the fact he was a lot more stronger than she was, heck, he was far more stronger than Kevala, the current Head of the School Newsletter. He didn't need the Pillar title, he had it once, even if it was for a little while, if he had wanted to regain his old title, he would've fought for it and taken it back a long time ago. "Most students wouldn't give a rat's ass about injured students, they'd probably just ignore them. Are ya one of the four Pillars in 259?"

Kazuya couldn't help but chuckle. Not only was she one of the four Pillars, confirming what he had thought, but she was also the current Varsity Captain no less, he had been her predecessor. "Well nice to meet ya Mitsu. I was your predecessor. I used to be the Varsity Captain." And it was true he posed no threat to her, regaining his old title, especially now that Matrim was School Captain AGAIN, was the least of his concern. But even though he knew that Matrim was the current School Captain, and now that Mitsukai was the current Varsity Captain, he didn't know, well, to be more precise, never bothered to find out who the other two Pillars were. "So who're the other two Pillars? I think EVERYBODY knows by now that Matrim Gallagher is the current School Captain." Kazuya asked, resisting the urge to roll his eyes, as he stopped in front of the door to the nurse's office.

If it didn't concern him, he wouldn't bother to go searching around, he had no interest in doing so anyways. This made the third school Matrim became School Captain of? First was Point Hope High, where he had been a Pillar, Matrim appointing him as the Student Body President. Then Public High School #42, but he had been pretending to be his own cousin during that time. And then finally, Public High School #259, where Kazuya was made Varsity Captain by David Blaze. After giving his title up, Kazuya had maintained a low profile, even though he was part of Regalia now. Besides, Mitsukai in turn, posed no viable threat to him, and even if she did, he could easily defend himself against her. He wouldn't fight against someone unless they attacked him first.

Yes, Kazuya was a former Pillar, but it wasn't under Gabriel, he had been the Varsity Captain under David Blaze. And if memory served, Gabriel didn't actually take anyone as Pillars, he had been the sole Pillar, the School Captain. Kazuya chuckled quietly under his breath, Sara Quinn was the Student Body President? As in, crazy Sara is crazy? Wow. And Kevala, whom he had met previously and fought against and beaten was the Head of the School Newsletter. Interesting for the two other Pillars. And it was true, Kevala's personality and good looks made her one of the most popular students in the school, Kazuya could attest to that. By the time the Q and A was finished, they had reached the nurse's office, as Kazuya waited outside, leaning against the wall, his arms casually folded across his chest. A couple minutes later, the medical staff rushed past him, heading down the hallway to where the students he had knocked out and burned were.

"I don't have anything planned." He replied as soon as Mitsukai came back. "Meet me on the rooftop after you're done." With that said, Kazuya pushed off the wall, and headed towards the rooftop access. Mitsukai may be the Varsity Captain, and though Kazuya was not out to get her title, what if he had been a student that did? If Mitsukai couldn't adequately defend herself against any and all challenges to her title, she won't hold onto her title for very long. He was going to test her, to see just how well she could defend her title. Reaching the rooftop door, he headed up the stairs, and pushed the door open, and walked across the gravel roof, before coming to a stop near the edge of the roof, a chain link fence running around the entire top of the building, as he waited for her to arrive.

Kazuya waited patiently for Mitsukai to arrive, once he heard the sound of the rooftop door open and close, he knew she had arrived. He turned his head slightly to look behind him, his hands in his pockets, noticing immediately her guard was up, as he maintained his gaze on her. "Relax," He said, as he turned around fully to face her, "You make it look like I'm some mad axe murderer about to kill you or something." A bit of humor to lighten the mood, but that was about all the humor that would be occurring for now. "You're the current Varsity Captain. People will try to take your title from you, and I have no doubt some have already tried it. But if you can't defend your title, you won't have it for very long. Now I don't know if anyone has succeeded in taking your title from you, but I wouldn't doubt it, seeing as how often Pillar titles have been exchanged, just as fast as people trade lunches. I'm not out to take your title. But I want to see if you can defend your title."

Kazuya then eased himself into his stance, his eyes completely fierce and intense, all confidence gone from his eyes. "Show me what you can do Mitsu. Prepare yourself." And with that, Kazuya would dart straight at Mitsukai, going at full speed. Once he was close enough, he would pull his right arm back and fire a rapid right hook right at her, followed up by him ducking down and sticking his left leg out, would go to sweep her legs out from underneath her. He wasn't going to injure her so badly that she would end up having to be carried to the infirmary, but he wasn't going to hold back either. Her challengers sure as hell won't be holding back, because they wanted something, her title. As for Kazuya? He just wanted to see how good she was. He hoped she wouldn't disappoint him.

Kazuya's right hook would connect with Mitsukai, though he saw she had bent down slightly to lessen the strength of his strike. He then felt his wrist being grabbed by her hand, as he was yanked forward, her knee hurtling towards his stomach. His left arm would quickly snap out, as he wrapped his left arm around her leg, he reared his head back and would counter her headbutt with one of his own. He had felt worse than this. His left arm firmly locked around her leg, he would then attempt to wrench his right hand out of her grip, if he succeeded, he would then quickly push her back away from him, releasing her leg, before ducking low once more and in a quick spin, his left leg sticking out, would once more try to sweep Mitsukai's foot from under her.

And since she had been balancing on only one leg, it would be a lot easier to send her off-balance and onto her back. Kazuya would then dart forward if she fell and then straddle her by her core, effectively preventing her from using her legs to try and kick him off. With her legs out of the way, it would allow Kazuya to rain punches down on her, which is what he did. He would fire rapid punches at her, giving her no time to fight back, leaving her with the only option to try and defend herself. Certainly there were students that were much stronger than Kazuya, including, but not limited to; Gabriel, Emily, David, Matrim, Sara, the list goes on. But if Mitsukai couldn't defend herself against Kazuya, then she won't be holding onto her title for very long, even if Matrim were to give it back to her.
