(OOC: Takes place directly after this thread.) Matrim stepped out of the hospital, making his way toward the Van with his keys in his hand, jingling them. He knew that once they got going he'd have some questions for her, most of them were answered, and luckily for her he could have quite possibly just saved her from that guy. Or at least saved her from the possibility that the guy might ask her to do something sexual. What was she thinking?Matrim got to the van, unlocking the doors by pushing the button on his little keychain device. He got in and put his seat belt on, starting the car. Once Sara was in and strapped up he would take off back toward the house, not speeding but actually following the speed limit, and taking back roads to avoid traffic. Less populated areas this way but it was a lot nicer. "So," Matrim started, "What in the world made it so worth it to make that bet? What would you have won if you had beaten him?" |

Sara followed Matrim out of the hospital, staying behind him, her gaze on the ground. This was going to be... an awkward drive home, to say the least. And she had a piece of her mind to give him to. She didn't care what purpose his little 'show' served, but he in no way 'owned' her. What was it he had said when he had first burned her and they had slept together? Something like it was just a friendship mark or something? Stupid men >3>
She opened the door and hopped into the car after him, pulling her seat belt over herself and settling back, one hand in her lap, the other drumming fingers along the windowsill in nervousness. She wanted to tell him off, but nervousness made her wait for him to speak first.
"So, what in the world made it so worth it to make that bet? What would you have won if you had beaten him?"
She sighed, dropping her head. She really hadn't expected that question, and didn't care to answer it. "It was stupid ok? Why does it matter? It's over anyways, I lost. I'm just going to have to deal with this. Which leads me to who the hell do you think you are?! You don't own me either. The burn meant nothing apparently, until now."
She crossed her arms over her chest, glaring at him as she waited for a response.

"It was stupid ok? Why does it matter? It's over anyways, I lost. I'm just going to have to deal with this. Which leads me to who the hell do you think you are?! You don't own me either. The burn meant nothing apparently, until now."
"I don't think I own you, what I did in there was to save your ass! If I didn't do that macho bullshit he probably wouldn't have agreed to that deal so easily. The guys strong, tough, and has a hell of a fighting record against me so if I showed weakness or desperation he probably woulda laughed and told me to fuck off," Matrim said, turning onto a road with a 25 mph speed limit, he made sure he was going the speed limit, and then decided to ask once more.
"And the burn means something, it's always meant something to me okay?" Matrim said getting a little angry that she said it didn't mean anything, "It means a lot to me... because I thought it meant something to you... I thought I meant something to you... what if he tried to make you, huh? What if he tried to make that deal apply to some sexual favor or something and he didn't happen to get hit by a car?"

Sara head dropped in shame and she fought back tears as he spoke. She was just really confused about the two of them. What the hell did he mean to her? What were they? The burn had always meant something to her, that was what the problem was. It was important to her and not to him. And now he was saying it was... D< Who the hell cared anyways?! What sort of relationship was this where he just burned a hand print into her chest?!
"I thought I meant something to you... what if he tried to make you, huh? What if he tried to make that deal apply to some sexual favor or something and he didn't happen to get hit by a car?"  ... Then my day would have been a lot more interesting... Ugh... Sara rubbed her hands over her eyes, tired of those types of thoughts. She didn't mean them. And when they came, bad things happened. "Look... I... I don't know ok? Let's just be glad that wasn't what happened. You think I would have done that anyways? I would have murdered him the moment he tried something..." "Kinda... You still don't own me though." Her expression changed, a sick smile coming to her lips. "You would like to though wouldn't you..." She leaned towards him, turning her body to face him. "You would love to call her you're property, use her when ever you wanted?" Sara's right hand moved out as though to touch him, her fingers grazing across his stomach and then past him, grabbing onto the handle and pulling. At the same time, her left hand pressed down on his seat belt release, and then snapped out to his side. Activating her qi as she touched him, he would be blasted out of the car. The van would swerve, going into the ditch on the side of the road. Sara, thankfully wearing her seat belt would fare just fine, just slightly jolted from impact. Popping her own seat belt and stumbling out of the van she would turn her gaze to the road, searching for him. OH! There he is! Man, that was AWESOME!! |

"Look... I... I don't know ok? Let's just be glad that wasn't what happened. You think I would have done that anyways? I would have murdered him the moment he tried something..."
"I didn't think you would, but he had you pinned already, I'm just worried that if he can beat you it'd be hard for you to stop him... I don't doubt that you wouldn't have wanted to though. And I don't doubt that you'd try everything possible to get out."
"Kinda... You still don't own me though. You would like to though wouldn't you... You would love to call her you're property, use her when ever you wanted?"
Matrim looked over, his eyes narrowed in a bit of confusion, his heart pounded....
Why is my heart beating so fast? Why don't I care more that she's talking that way? It's because.....it's....
"It's tr-" Before he could even finish he watched as she did something, pulling the door handle, undoing his seat belt, and then Qi blasted him through the door. He went straight into the opposite lane, rolling to a stop as the van veered right and into a ditch. He struggled to get up taking quite a bit of a beating from that.
"So... that's how it's going to be huh? Why don't you come here and try to take me on," Matrim spat out, both hands gripping into fists. He would wait for her to come to him, mostly because he didn't want to fight in a ditch by a busted up van. He much preferred the open road as a fighting scenario for what he had planned. Luckily the road wasn't busy and there most likely wouldn't be another vehicle on it for some time.

"So... that's how it's going to be huh? Why don't you come here and try to take me on."? Sara stepped out of the ditch, leaving the van behind. Wasn't that one of the most EPIC things EVAR!? Stepping lightly onto the road she paused. And looked both ways =3 Seeing no cars, especially after today's incident, she walked slowly towards Matrim. This would be interesting. She wondered how much pushing it would take to finally get the two of them to come to their senses. Sara... Constantly denying her feelings... Matrim... Not pushing Sara hard enough to admit them... Maybe tonight would make it final? She paused a few feet from him, cocking her hip, and tilting her head quizzically. "It's what Matrim? It's... true? I knew it. Pathetic." She shook her head, laughing softly. "So what are you going to do about it then? Some other man claimed your little crush. You going to take that? Or show Sara that she belongs to you? Always has belonged to you?" She stepped forward quickly, closing the distance between them and planting her left foot in front, then slammed her right knee up for a shot at his abdomen. At the same time, her right fist slammed up for a right hook at his cheek. OOC - Posts till next burst - 2

An incoming knee and punch would be met with fire....

A straight right palm attack aimed for the direct center of her chest would take place just after the punch and knee attacks he took. She was strong, and her attacks had hurt quite a bit, but he endured them knowing that the fire would hurt her, and he'd have a better chance at connecting his punch.
If the punch connected and sent her back he'd run at her full speed, duck down and shoot up, his right fist aiming to uppercut her chin as he twisted into the motion to get a bit higher off of the ground, the machine on his arm whirring to life.

Even though Matrim suddenly BURST into FLAME like a torch in the middle of a black abyss, she continued with her attack, a knee and a punch, one after the other. Sara's knee and punch connected, and she was quick enough to pull away that she only experienced minor singeing. Score one for her. As soon as she hit him though, he retaliated. His palm slammed into the center of her chest. Again, only minor singeing from a quick strike, but she was forced back from his strength. His absolute strength. Holy CRAP he was strong  " THAT was new... So was the whole body flame thing... What the hell had he been doing!? D< She fought to keep her feet, sliding back on the road a good few feet, before coming to a stop. Only to have his fist slam into her chin in an EPIC UPPERCUT OF WIN O= That DID send her flying. She landed hard on her back on the other side of the road from where they had started. Wow... pushing him had NOT been smart, but WOW, this was EPIC !!! She could feel the small cuts and scrapes on her back, new ones over the ones she had gotten earlier from her fight with Katsuri. She grunted as she tried to sit up, her hand rubbing at her jaw. She winced, getting to her feet shakily. Dropping her hand from her jaw she took a defensive stance, hands slightly raised in front of her, left foot and arm leading. Screw that, he could come at her this time. She spat to the side. "That it..? Pathetic." OOC - Posts till next burst - 1

While she was getting to her feet he had landed and was off like a rocket once again....
"That it..? Pathetic."
She was fast, but she would find that he was quite quick as well as he would have already ran at her, a big blazing inferno, aiming to stop in front of her on his right foot, twist using the momentum of the run and stop to slam his left foot into her right side, aiming to bust ribs and send her to her left, his right toward the ditch, but further down from the van.
"I don't think you understand," Matrim said, "The only pathetic person here is you. That you would so foolishly ignore this situation. You ARE my property, and you would do best not to argue the fact!"
The machine continued to recharge Matrim, and he would approach Sara, if she was still down he would stand there, if she had gotten up he would charge and bring his right knee into her gut before pushing her off of him.

He ran at her, stopping just in front of her. It was all she could do to bring up her right arm to block and take the force, her left arm crossing her body, palm open to help catch the leg as it hit. She still went flying under the attack, landing hard on her left side in the ditch. His strength was ridiculous. Even his speed had increased. She had hoped to be able to counter in some way, but her best hope now was to simply block the worst of his attacks. "I don't think you understand. The only pathetic person here is you. That you would so foolishly ignore this situation. You ARE my property, and you would do best not to argue the fact!"She watched him approaching, but stayed down, her shoulder and arm throbbing with pain. It had really just hit her that this was a useless fight. All she could do was stay in control for now to take what ever else was coming and hope the sane side could take it. Being crazy Sara though, she tried to see the bright side of things. Sara and Matrim were definitely going to be together after this! ! As he stood over her, she sighed. He was to strong, to fast, and completely on fire. No way in hell was she fighting him yet. So she mustered her best sane-Sara glare. "What makes you think you deserve her?"

"What makes you think you deserve her?" SHe asked, and he stood there, still on fire.
"I deserve her," Matrim said, "I've earned her. I've fought for her, I taught her Qi, I trained her to be stronger so she could take on stronger opponents. If it weren't for me she wouldn't be where she is today, where you are today. She may blame me for all of her pain, but without me she never would have grown nearly as much."
He didn't let up on his Qi, he could see through the fire well enough to see hers still going. He watched her closely, unsure of when it was she was able to do the wind thing again. He would reach down to gran her by the chest of her shirt, and pull her up by it. As her shirt burned he would say, "So admit that I own you already, and end your Qi."

She had to break eye contact as he spoke. He was right. He made good points. He had done so much for Sara, which was why in the end, Sara would be with him. >3 But that didn't mean she was going to give up that easily yet. There was still more fun to be had here He reached down, grabbing onto the front of her shirt. Immediately, it began to burn. She saw her opportunity, and gave her shirt a chance to burn further. The way she saw it, she had two options here. Give in, end her qi. But that would go against everything Sara was. The girl who wouldn't give up. The girl who would rather die then admit she lost. Her second option, was another burst. She could feel it, the strength of the wind around her increasing slightly, a feeling of power building inside her. She could burst again now. A small smile touched her lips at how fierce he seemed. Where would she be without him? It was an interesting question. "So admit that I own you already, and end your Qi.""No." The loud boom filled the area as her qi was activated again. Her shirt would rip easily, and she would be off, ignoring the pain in her shoulder and arm. She ran towards the van, hoping to reach it before he could recover from the burst and catch her. If she did, she would jump, her qi helping her to jump higher, and using her gloves, she would climb the van, getting onto the roof of it, and collapsing on the top to catch her breath.

He was blasted back, but not very far. He had a strong grip to the ground and merely slid a few feet with his feet digging into the dirt of the ditch. He immediately took off after her, and when she climbed the Van he ran toward the front which was faced down and ran up the top of the cab, where she had collapsed on the top and while running up the cab he would punt her off of it, up up and away.
The kick would hopefully once again send her flying and he would jump from the top of the cab to the edge of the street and wait for her to come down.
"End it NOW!"

Sara felt the van jump under his weight, the sound of the metal under his weight and footsteps. She barely even had time to move, rolling slightly and pushing her palms to the top of the car when his foot slammed into her side.
The gloves would help her keep her grip to the van, so she wouldn't be sent far from it, but it would come at a price. There was more force in her holding on. The only consolation was that she didn't attempt to stay on top of the car. The force of his kick sent her off the side, leaving her hanging onto the car with the grip of her gloves, her chest pressed against the side.
"End it NOW!"
She let go of the car, landing in a heap on the ground, groaning and hugging her torso with her arms. "No!" Immediately, she rolled to the side, and under the car. It was tight, but she was glad she was so small for once. It would provide her with some protection while she got her wits together. She was pretty much done. Her only hope was that he wouldn't realize she was under the car, that he had not seen her roll and she would get a few minutes to breath.

As soon as she disappeared he realized where she had gone when he looked over the edge and she wasn't there.
"If you don't come out I could always punch through the floor of the van and ignite the gas tank......" Matrim said, staying atop of the van, "Or I could tip the van over and beat you up some more........"
At this point Matrim would jump down to the side of the van and grab the bottom edge, pulling it up a bit and slamming his shoulder into the already off balance van to tip it over it's side. He would then reach down and grab Sara by the scruff of her shirt and raise her up using his left hand, and send a punch into her gut with his right hand.
