How Does This Keep Happening (Daniel/Open)

[Kevala Badoer]

K[/size]evala had not set foot in the school in some time. She had so much going on in her life that it was just consuming her time. The twins were getting older, and in turn getting into more stuff. She had not seen Gabriel in some time..which she could not decide was a good or a bad thing.....Then on top of all that, she was getting more and more serious with Mischa. It was a lot to deal with and honestly it was taking it's toll on her.

We are getting stronger..You know this...Why do you fight it? Just give in and we can all be happy.

It would probably be best for everyone....You know that and we know that...Just, let it go.....

Gods why did she had to give up drinking? The thought having barely entered her mind when all of a sudden the image of Mischa entered her mind. THAT was why she had stopped.

Letting out a heavy sigh, she would reach up, her small hand brushing back a few stray locks of raven hair as she made her way onto the school grounds. Dressed in a simple pair of black workout pants and a white tank top, she looked as beautiful as ever, even if she was slowly losing it on the inside....

One would never be able to tell.....She made hiding stuff and art form....

Icy hues scanned over the throng of students that filtered in and out of the school.....Taking into account each new face she had yet to introduce herself to and every other face she knew all too well. At one point she would have gone out of her way to meet new people...But now, it all seemed pointless.....

In the end it always ended up the same way....People pretending to be your friend until the mood suited them to turn on you....It was tiresome and a bigger headache than most would believe.......Honestly, she was done.....She just wanted to go about living her life as best she could...Without Gabriel to put her social skills to good use, she found that she lacked the desire to do much else........

Odd how things could change so suddenly.....After waving hello to a few familiar people and getting stopped by a group of new kids lost in their attempts at finding the gym....She made her way to take a seat upon one of the many benches that lined the courtyard......Her small hands coming up to fold together atop the table before her as she simply continued to watch.....to observe....

She had a feeling something was going to happen today, she just did not know what....and she only hoped that it would not end too badly for her......

[Tyr Odinson]

The bark was cool against his shoulder, the trees shade providing a good cover for the face hidden in the hair. His eyes examined the girl who had approached, the kid at his shoulder pointing a thin finger in her direction.

"Thats her."

He slipped the boy a little pinch of cash, the fellow scurrying away without any further ado. He examined how she walked, smiled, talked to her peers. She didn't seem like a fighter born or talent, but instead a fighter who was bred by others. How she moved her legs, how she talked and examined the area, it just didn't match her face. She was strong, to be sure, and he was sure she had the intuition and and wisdom to realize that, with his sudden challenge to the Captain, things would be closing in around her soon enough. He walked forward, taking his time as he made his way toward her, walking around the bench she sat on so he could plant himself beside her. He would take a deep breath before letting it out with enough of a noise to make his presence known.

"I guess you probably know why i'm here."

After all, nearly everyone was talking about him- what he looked like, what he said, how Matrim basically poked fun of him to his face. He didn't really care- it was unimportant to him at that time. Right now, he was concentrated on the girl who sat beside him. He cracked his neck.

"I'm here for your title, pillar, and im sorry but i have to take it by force."

He would stare at her and wait for her reaction- this would have to be quick, he couldn't dawdle, not with so many other things currently on his plate.

[Kevala Badoer]

S[/size]he spotted him about the time he started to move away from the tree. She really had not paid too much mind to the idle gossip that seemed to flow through the school these days. Seemed there was always somebody out there wanting to gain power, to do what those before them had not....It was just another day in the life as far as she was concerned....

As he moved to take a seat beside her, she turned her head in his direction, a gentle nod given as he spoke....Ah yes, she knew why he was here..it was why all the strong males of this place came at her......

At one point she might have cared, but as it stood, she honestly did not....But he wanted to take the title by force....So she supposed that fighting was something she would have to do. Despite how much she did detest the whole thing.

Letting out a gentle nod of respect for her soon to be opponent, she would push herself back from the table and slide her legs out from beneath it so that she could rise to stand....

"Well, so long as you make it interesting big boy."

She stepped back away from him, her feet spreading as she steadied herself in a relaxed fighters stance...She could feel the power filling the air around him...and knew that in all likely hood she had no chance of winning...But honestly, Kev did not know the meaning of running away......

She refused to do such, even when the situation called for it....Those above her might have done such, they may have called it quits to save their hides....but honestly Kev was different....If she was going to lose her title then so be it...but she was going to do it fighting.....The one thing she despised more than anything....yet the one thing she seemed to be pretty good at....

"So come on....lets do this..."

Icy hues watching his every move now......cause she had a feeling his attack was going to be hard and fast....and boy was it going to fucking hurt.....

[Tyr Odinson]

Daniel took his glasses in his hand, re-adjusting them on his nose before standing. He placed his hands in his pockets, eyes examining the look of determination she had on her face. She must know she was far inferior to him physically...still, her willpower and her defiance brought her some respect from him. He wouldn't permanently damage her, or try to hospitalize her...instead, he would make it apparent for those few surrounding them that he was her better in battle, and when she was beaten, unable to continue?

Well, he would simply walk away.

"Then, hit me, if you can."

He would wait, wind blowing gently through his hair in a way of calling. He was not trying to be cocky--his voice spoke with a confidence, a sincere directness that only he would truly give among the pillars. He would not misguide anyone when he knew he was better then any living person walking this place, and she did not even come close to that. He would not remove his strength hindrances- no, he planned to make her fall without having to exert himself too badly. Then again, perhaps these pillars were better then he first imagined?

He watched, face stoic and patient.

[Kevala Badoer]

She watched as he moved, not really feeling an arrogance coming off of him..just the knowledge that he was better than her.....She simply shrugged...So he wanted to show that he was superior....she could handle that...How many times had she gotten her ass handed to her by Gabriel in front of the entire school and simply shrugged if off and kept going?

More times than she could count....

As he spoke, she would roll her eyes just slightly....

"No offense....but that comes off sounding just a bit cocky....and assholeish...."

With that she took off toward him, her right fist slamming upward into an uppercut to his jaw while the left shot out to slam into his gut....

She would then raise her left knee to ram into his ribcage.....

If given the chance to, which she seriously doubted she would, she would back away....Though if she had read him right....she would end up with her ass on the ground...or bleeding....If not both.....

But one would never know until they had tried. Right? Besides...she did not want anything from this besides the fact to be known that she was not worthless and that she did not give up like so many others had before her.....

She was different....despite what people thought about her....

[Tyr Odinson]

He tilted his head a little, a look of genuine confusion on his face.

"Really? I would assume you would have no problem saying something if your confident in your abili-"

The blow slammed into his jaw, sending blood shooting from his lip skyward. The next blow, crashing into his stomach, knocked the breath from him, his body being hurled through a wall of brick and stone, the darkness of the room beyond revealing nothing but a solid black abyss. A few rocks could be heard being turned over, as well as a few coughs and a spitting noise. A low grunt could be heard as well, almost in admiration for the suddenness of her attack, and the effort she was putting behind it. He saw her movements from a mile away, and could have easily reacted- but he loved lulling his opponents into a false sense of security before he broke thier spirit entirely.

"Please, tell me that wasn't everything."

His hands were in his pockets as he walked from the hole, covered in dust. His glasses were, rather spectacularly, still planted on his nose, his hair dirty and disheveled. He walked forward and stopped, maybe ten feet away, blood dropping from his lip and pittering to the cement with a soft tap. He stared at her without concern, eyes still the same in stoic concentration and admiration. She had guts, and would probably make a good, solid enforcer should he ever need it.

Unfortunately he wouldn't.

"I told you to hit me- not tickle me." His glasses flashed as his head lowered slightly.

"Why not use your Qi- i know you have one."

He waited patiently, hoping she would rise to the bait he presented before her.

[Kevala Badoer]

D[/size]id he honestly think she was that stupid? It was an insult in her mind that he would even presume that she would be so easily fooled into thinking that he had not let her hit him. Her eyes narrowing as she tilted her head lightly to the side, her arms coming up to cross over her chest as he moved away from the wall, the blood dripping onto the ground getting a simple brush of her tongue over her lips and nothing more....

Then he spoke, and her brow rose slightly. Now why would he want to see her Qi? It was a curious thought that her mind entertained for all of about two seconds before she took off again, this time coming to a stop just before him and lifting her right leg to slam into his stomach before her elbow came up to connect with his jaw.

"Toy around with the other fools who roam around this place.....Don't try your little mind games on me."

She then, if possible would slam reach out, grabbing hold of his shirt just long enough to jerk him forward and slam her head into his own......

Assuming she managed to do any of this she would again back away, those icy hues continuing to watch his every move as she studied him....He was arrogant, but then she supposed all men who were as strong as this guy probably was were like that....

Gods knew that Gabriel was.....as was Katsu...and for fucks sake David had taken top prize in that category....But yeah..that was beside the point...

Either way, it was not his attitude toward her that bothered her...no it was the fact he thought her as dumb and foolish as the rest of the dull minded fools who walked these halls.

THAT was what really pushed her buttons......

But she did not activate her Qi...Not yet....She was not about to fall for his tricks....Just because she did not pay much mind to idle gossip did not mean she did not pay attention.....

Tsk tsk...there people went...underestimating the small female once more.....Oh well..One day they would learn...wouldn't they?

[Tyr Odinson]

"Hnnh."

His left hand blocked her knee easily, her fist also crashing into his left palm as he brought it up to block that as well. She was slow, and her attacks one demensional. She had heart, but the abilities of her body did not keep up with the abilities of her mind. She tried to appear tough, talk tough, and pretend she knew everything about what he was doing, as though he were like someone she had met before when in fact, she truly had no clue as to who he was, and what he was truly capable of. She felt confident because she was allowed to land a few blows. She felt confident because he bled. It was strange, really, that students here felt so insecure and suspicious of everything. Couldn't the world just mold itself to his view?

He used the heel of his left hand to then slam her directly in the forehead- not with anything debilitating, but with something that would definitely give her a splitting headache. It was as if to say "Don't be an idiot."

He sighed.

"Look- i could defeat you as you are with only my left hand. Your body just can't keep up with mine, and therefore im better. So, use your Qi, so i can defeat you, and we can both move on with our day."

[Kevala Badoer]

W[/size]hy were men always such a pain in the ass? Seriously? Why the hell was it, that every man she ever came into contact with was an arrogant and self loving asshole...?

She just rolled her eyes. Did he really think that just because she landed a few blows that she was being cocky? Gah! Men were so stupid sometimes.

Fine, he wanted to see her Qi and honestly she had a date tonight with Mischa, so yeah....The sooner they got this over the better.

Those icy hues shifting to black as the red swirls started to move and shift about as she stood there looking at him.

It was then that Clone One would appear directly behind him, throwing a solid hit to the back of his skull just as she appeared.

Clone Two would appear beside him in that same moment, her right leg coming up and throwing a kick to his ribs as the original shot forward and threw a left uppercut to his jaw.

She knew she still did not stand a chance, but either way, at least she would get this done and over with soon and be on her way.
