Fight Club

[Aureus]

It was four pm, and a new club was just beginning. Standing in the white canvased, red roped, boxing ring at the far corner of the large gym was Aureus Hayes. His hair was matted down to his face, dripping sweat past his cheeks. This was so because of the hour long work out session he had done before hand. He wore no shirt, socks, shoes, or hats. The only piece of apparel covering his body was a loose fitting, dark blue pair of jeans. Sticking out from his teeth was a short tooth pick. Hands stuffed into his pockets, he waited.

So here he was, in the gym of 259 waiting for any interested parties to arrive. Who would they be, exactly? Well, he wasn't sure, but there was one prerequisite: The will to fight. Yes, wanting to fight was sort of important for this activity, otherwise you'd be standing around and getting your ass kicked or ignored, and where's the fun in that? Regardless, the dark haired Pillar just hoped they'd leave all personal issues at the door, enjoy themselves, and finally that 'they' would be at least eight people.

Being Varsity Captain, it was sort of his job to be the head of at least one sport or club, in addition to being one of the best fighters and athletes. A few days back he had discussed with the school supervisor the prospect of creating a certain, violent, new club. Oddly enough, the man had seemed thrilled at the idea. So, it was official, Fight Club had begun...

[John]

Hearing about this new way to be able to fight people and proove himself as a warrior. The silver haired boy made his slow walk into the area. alittle unsure of the place he made sure to scan in with his Red eyes. Nothing out of the ordinary. He walked like he didn't care, or was bored. There was not alot of people so he couldn't just sit in a corner and wait everyone to take up attention so he could fall back until the fighting started. Was he even the first to show up? What the hell? whatever the case John made his way to the only other person standing in the arena, or even in the room iself and posed a question, he had no idea who the guy was. so he talked like normal, down to him.

"You. Tell me, when does Fight Club start?"

It sounded half like an order, half like a question, and completely like he was better than him. Since this place was about fighting it was only a matter of time before he would surely walk through those doors and find himself waiting for a fight. In his left hand a white can with no markings at all. Dark Purple muscle shirt, and dark purple jump suit pants. He was wearing his new cloths today since he finally got the money for some. And what other way to break them in than fighting?

[chihiro]

A fight club, the perfect place to work on her training as a fighter. She was pretty excited, since getting her cast off, that she should work on her arm strength again, and had pretty much just been itching to clock someone a good one since she hadn't been able to in over four weeks. It was also a good way to release stress, and stress from recent incidents. *cough*

The junior pushed open the gym door and stepped inside, clad in black shorts with a gray and pink strip on the sides and a gray beater that clung to her nicely over a pink sports bra. Her long dark hair was up on a single ponytail, and a small gym bag was slung over her shoulder. In it were the usual necessities: water bottle, first aide kit, tape (for one's hands), hand towel, etc.

Chocolate eyes glanced about the gym, it was still pretty much empty with an exception to a ring positioned in the far corner. As she approached, she recognized both the figures there, the one in the ring and the one out. Aureus, her boyfriend (she was still getting used to the sound of that word), standing in the center with his hair slicked with sweat, he'd obviously already been working out, and despite the sweat and junk, she still found him immensly attractive. Next, the boy talking to him, was none other than the boy from the bar...what was his name, John? She couldn't remember much from that escapade except for the fact that they drank a lot, and laughed, and she got incredibly sick afterward.

Seeing that they were a bit busy for the time being, Chi went over to the side of the ring, dropping her bag on one of the benches along the wall, taking out her water bottle from the side pocket and taking a sip.

[Aureus]

Finally. The Pillar thought as a figure entered the room. Unfortunately, he wasn't too pleased to see exactly who it was. John, the short tempered Freshmen that had fought Levi twice. Aureus really didn't know him outside of battle, but even so he didn't really like him. The superior, self righteous tone he spoke with didn't help either. With a look of annoyance, he decided to respond. "Fight Club starts when I say it does. Which will be when more people arrive. And watch your tone with me," He said, his tone razor sharp. He oozed confidence, authority, and power for that moment as he stared into the silver haired boy's eyes. Hearing the door open once again, his eyes shifted to the new comer.

His expression did a 180 when he saw it was his girlfriend, changing from the commanding scowl to an earnest smile. She looked pretty hot dressed in shorts and a beater. It was the first time he had seen her hair in a pony tail too. Confident that John had been dealt with, Aureus climbed out of the boxing ring and walked over to Chi. "So you decided to join, huh?" He asked with a sly smile before leaning in for a kiss. "You look great."

[John]

Now how Aureus stated his words would only proove to make John alittle ill tempered for the moment. almost wanting to start a fight right there and then, this was of course going to be fight club, but since he was the Varsity Captain as it turned out since it was said that the pillar was runnign this little club, he could onyl assume. Still didn't know the guys name. He seemed to be caught by something off to the side before he could throw a remark at him. john's curiousity, what little of it existed turned to look at who had entered. It was that girl from the bar. Chi was her name. The only person that had met him in a good way and probably didn't remember much of it.

John just got into the ring while thye had their little moment, wasn't him to care much about that sort of thing. He had no plans of getting at this person. It was Levi he wanted to bring down. He simply inspected the ring with a bored expression as he waited for more people to show up. He walked out of the ring climbing down and took a seat on a little stool thats was around. He folded his arms and closed his eyes, that can still in his hands, the unmarked soda, what was it? Well that would be better shown, later.

[chihiro]

The dark haired beauty quirked an eyebrow as she overheard a bit of the short conversation between John and Aureus. The silver haired boy seemed to have quite the attitude on him, different than when they had met in the bar, but then of course he'd been three sheets to the wind. Aureus responded with the authority and power that was expected of a Pillar. She remember a conversation they had back they'd first become friends when he said he wasn't sure if he had what it took to be a Pillar. Seeing him now speak back to someone who tried to rival his given power, Chi had no doubt that it had been a wise decision to make him a Pillar of 259. He had more power than he liked to think he had, or knew he had.

A smile fell across the face of the junior as Aureus came up to her and kissed her in greeting. She happily returned the kiss, pulling back slightly because he was sweaty with a laugh, his lips tasted salty, she noted vaguely, but it made sense.

"Ew, you're all sweaty."

She laughed, making an exaggerated face before leaning forward to place another quick peck on his lips. She didn't want to make a scene or anything, even when there was only one other person in the gym to far. She grinned at his question, her brown eyes glinting.

"How could I pass up an opportunity to kick an ass or two? I mean, really.."

She cast a quick look down at herself as his compliment reached her ears. She looked great? Well, she was just wearing what she found comfortable, and wouldn't hinder her flexibility. The fact that it was coordinated was because she was a girl, and she was a bit OC that clothing matched.

[Aureus]

"Haha, yeah sorry about that." Aureus responded light heartedly. Sit ups, push ups, jumping jacks, 15 minutes on the treadmill, and a good session spent pounding the punching bag tended to make you sweaty. "Well, you'll have plenty of chances to kick ass if enough people show up. And if not, maybe I'll give you a nice bout." The Varsity Captain finished before picking up a clip board from the bench and handing it to her. "Oh, sign this." He said before handing her the sign up sheet. Once she had written her name, Aureus would take it to John and have him do the same.

[chihiro]

A smirk fell across the face of the junior, and she quirked an eyebrow when he mentioned about taking her on. She may look small but she was a tough fighter.

"I'm sure I can give you a run for your money, love."

She laughed before taking the clipboard from his hands and signing her name at the top with a flourish. Now she was really excited, she was practically bouncing on her toes. She handed the clipboard back to him, grinning.

"I sure hope more people show up.."

[max]

A fight club! Y'know? The type of place where you fought... and did stuff that involved fighting! Yesh... how simple. Okay, Max wasn't your typical regular at a place like this, but, she was already quite weak emotionally so why not try and up her game in the physical section? It wouldn't matter if any familiar faces popped up, or bullies, because Max was planning on putting everything behind her a while while she was attending and also she wasn't exactly in third grade anymore... so no need to worry about bullies.

The long, elegant hair that the young lady had recently darkened was tied back into a neat ponytail that stopped somewhere at the tip of the bright green sports bra she wore. Now, now, even though her mother would probably disagree with Max wearing such an exposing thing on her body, she wasn't exactly going to come in three sweaters now was she? No, not when fighting involved stretching your muscles and letting your body be free, letting it fly. And besides, three sweaters would look pretty tacky as well.

Thus here she was, the oh so lovable Maxwell Parker that wasn't quite lovable anymore, the green top she complimented with a thin pair of black sweat pants and shoes that she only imagined taking off when the fighting begun. Your average duffel bag strap was mounted on top of her shoulder, the usual things would be in there that she would probably need during or after a fight, finally, Max set foot inside the gym. *Sigh* Let the not-so-fun-fun begin...

[chihiro]

The raven haired junior turned her head as the gym doors opened again, this time admitting another girl. It was a bit of relief, seeing another girl come to the fight club, it was just one of those things that made her feel like she wasn't the gender minority despite the fact that she was indeed a fighter. But then the newcomer turned her head...Oh, great...Max.

Chi's face fell from an appreciative smile to a look of indifference as she turned her own head to look back at the ring, her long ponytail flipping over her shoulder with the quick movement. Sure, she was being a bit immature, but Max had been the one to basically snub her the moment she walked in the door. Did she know about Levi/Aureus, or was she still just pissed about the Pipeline? Either way she couldn't tell, but if she wanted to be a bitch, then Chi would just let her. It was no skin off her nose, everyone had their problems, she just didn't want a part of Max's if she was just going to be mean about it. She had enough to deal with.

[John]

Taking the clip board from the boy who hadn't done anythign impressive yet, except show off what he believed to be his force and power towards John. If he only knew. A warrior prince doesn't have time to get into small querrals with a low level person such as him, unless he had a good reason. Signing his name quickly 'John Ong', he gave the clip board back and stood up to get into the ring to walk around and get a feel for it.

Someone else had walked in too ti seemed, he looked in the direction of who it was, another female. She better not be weak either. She better be a warrior, a true fighter. John wasn't going to go easy on anyone here. They where all clowns in his opinion though. They needed to bring everything they had, because he may follow the rules if any where ever pressented to them, but he would take the rules as far as possible for a good fight.

[Jyo]

A fight club. how interesting. Batteling without repercussions besides physical ones. I like it. Jyo thought. naturally the main thing on the young man's mind was the challenges that might be there. Jyo loved challenges above most other things. He hoped this club being spoken of would not dissapoint him. He smiled and headed to the proper building.

He walked in seeing other students there. He didn't make much noise but if anyone saw him it would be clear he wasn't here to play around. He carried himself differently form others. One of his Principals often told him he carried himself like the samuri of old Japan. There was an aura about him as he looked arouns but didn't say a word. His piercing green eyes studying every other person there as he walked near a wall and leaned against it for the time being.

[Ken Otoomi]

I walked in after Jyo, my eyes closed as my hands rested in my pockets. I wore bright orange trackpants with a green stripe up the side of them. White trainers and a black tanktop today. I wore a plain black leather choker which held a small sea shell on it, one of my home made necklaces. I looked at the fighters in this fight club. A very interesting group, two pillars, both S.H.C.P and two non members, but powerful figures. I closed my eyes again as I stood on the wall and watched and waited not knowing what to do I would wait for someone else to do it for me. A small smirk was splayed across my face as I gave a scoff. Interesting.

[Aureus]

"We'll see." Aureus replied with a smirk as he walked off towards John, who promptly signed it, keeping the same, high strung attitude he had before. It seemed no matter how many times the Pillar put him in his place, the boy just didn't learn. It wasn't even like he fought for a good reason, just his pride. Aureus, on the other hand had to stay at the top of his game. Chi's protection was his responsibility, the respect of his peers was on the line; for a Pillar that was very important, and lastly he needed to get as strong as he possibly could to fight the ex-gang leader.

Two nights previous the schizo hadn't been able to sleep a wink, because when he tried horrible nightmares of what he thought the boy did to his girlfriend flooded his mind. A burning hate was building up inside, though he wouldn't let Chi know this. He didn't want her to worry about him, though it was probably more than obvious that he was out for blood. I'll kill him...

Once more the door opened, causing the Pillar to see who else was entering. First came Max, then two boys he wasn't familiar with. It didn't matter, you didn't have to know him to join. Walking to each of them in order, he had them sign the sheet. Once that was out of the way, Aureus decided that six people was enough to get started.

"Alright, pay attention," He said from the center of the room. "The first rule of Fight Club is, you leave your grudges at the door. No bad blood here. The second rule, you will fight with respect. No dirty moves, like shots below the belt. Keep in mind you're not aiming to kill or seriously injure. Third, no shoes. Guys, you can take off your shirts if you want, and ladies I'll assume you want to keep your tops on. Fourth, fights will go no more then thirty minutes...if you last that long. Fifth, one fight at a time. Sixth, two people to a fight. And the final rule, if someone yells stop, taps out, or goes limp, the fight is over. If you break a rule, you'll have me to deal with." The dark haired boy said while pacing back and forth. Casting a glance down at the clipboard, he picked the first two fighters. "Jyo and Ken, would you like to kick things off?"

[Ken Otoomi]

I rubbed my face, I wasnt a dirty fighter so no need to tell me such rules but it was over with. I continued to rub my face as he asked me and Jyo to start the fight. I gave a moaning alright as both hands stopped rubbing my face. I slid my shirt off, and my shoes. My stomach was now revealed aswell as the fantastic desgined tattoo going up his left side. I wore now my simple orange pants as I climbed into the ring with a grin on my face. I tied the bandana up, keeping my hair out of my face, but letting the tail which was held in a ponytail drop down. Plain white.

"you coming or what"

I shook my head and my arms as I kicked in the air a few times. I was rusty, I had been focusing on my studies of late so my skills were somewhat, less than formidable. I began to play with my tonue bar as I waited for Jyo to come into the ring. Great I grinned still and laughed slightly, this was gonna be fun.
