"Keeny and loket step up into the circle" said himeko.
"Get him" said liam.
"Of cource" i said. I knew that it's going to be a difficult fight but I had to do something to make sure that Kenny will be so damaged and exhausted that the next round who ever fights him will be able to have a easy time to defeat him.
As Kenny and I stepped into the huge circle we stepped infront of each other I saw his eyes calm but angry, he had a frown on his dace and his expression showed anger. Its as If he's on the brinks of losing control.
Himeko sensei stepped besides us and told us the rules" you can't use ninjustu or any weaponry. You can use genjutsu or taijutsu. If one of you goes to far or if the fight seems that it is too dangerous than we will stop the fight."
We both nodded agreeing to the rules" before we fight you will have to do the seal of confrontation, this is a fight between fellow students do not go overboard" said himeko.
I placed my hand forming it into a seal infront of Kenny. He stared at me for a few second before he put his hands into his pockets saying" I won't form a seal with him"
Himeko sensei stared at Kenny coldly saying" this is a tradition that all citizens, shinobi, and students of konoha have done since the day konoha was born. Even if you don't like the person if he is your fellow comrade and your both sparring you will do. the seal of confrontation to promise each other to not harm or kill each other."
Kuro sensei came next to himeko and asked" what is going on here?"
"Kenny I'd refusing to do the seal of confrontation" said himeko sensei.
" It doesn't matter, we are alrady keeping hokage sama waiting, we have to move along." Said kuro.
Before himeko could say anything kuro signaled for the match will be starting start, himeko had no choice but to fall back.
I stared at kuro knowing that he wants his favorite student to win and showcase how powerful his class is. I stared at Kenny who stared at me. I could see his face forming a grin he than proceeded to say" I'll make sure to cripple so you will never become a a shinobi"
I smirked at a him and said" says the guy who beat up his little brother because he was jealous that daddy choice him as his favorite"
Veins bulged on his forehead his expression fully forming into a angry on." I'll make sure to kill you" Kenny said furiously.
Kuro screamed for the match to begging" start the match"
Kenny jumped back whil I stood in one place, when he looked at me he looked like he was insulted because I stood in place signaling that I don't find him a threat. Keeny gave me a death stare. He tahn proceeded to zoom past me he performed a right jap to my face which landed staight on my nose, a left kick to my face.
I put my guard up to block the left kick but he fainted the kick proceededing to twist his whole body in mid air kicking with his right leg straight in my face.
My head smacked onto the ground. I felt all the pain I had in the race and the new pain that arose. My eyes were bleary I could only contemplate how a person could twist their body thay much. My eyes came back into focus I saw a leg kick heading straight towards me.
My whole body screamed to doge it but I could not I felt like my whole body wad heavy. Likely my body rolled away from the kick.
Getting the surge of adrenaline I got onto my feet wobbling. In between my eyes I saw blood dripping from my forehead. I touched my face and hair which was covered with blood. It was only ten seconds into the match and I was beaten this bad.
Kenny walked slowly towards saying" is this all you have, I thought that you would be stronger than that with you acting all cocky"
He than dashed at me with a wide smile. I felt his desire to really kill me. Before he can dash at me I quickly rolled out the way which even futher made my head Hurt. I didnt know what to my legs gave out and I groveled on to the ground. I looked at the dirt gravel while the blood dripped down on to the dirt.
I looked up to only se a kick heading straight to my rips. I was launched a few feet away because of the powerful kick, landing on the floor pathetically.
Gasped
Helena breathed heavily as if she was running. She laid up on the bed and searched her surroundings. She noticed the medical equipment, she knew she is in the nurses office but how did she get here?.
She started to recalling the last moments, she was fighting her sister and the next second she was in a totally different world reminiscing the day of the nine tails attack, the day her mother died.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the nurse "you sure recovered fast"
Helena stared at the nurse, she than heard the echos of the screaming crowd through the hallway. She than reliased that the matches were still going on.
"Are the matches still going on?!" Helena screamed in a hurry to get a answer.
The nurse looked at Helena and stepped right next to her.
"Yes" said the nurse while touching Helena's foe head" it looks like you have a mild fever, try to rest for a little while" said the nurse.
Helena laid down on her right side she stared at the empty bed that loket was suppose to be on. "Do you know where loket went?" Helena asked curiously.
"He's fighting as we speaking" said the nurse.
Helena yet again stood up on her bed and screamed " what! Why?, he was suppose to be resting because of his injuries"
"He was, but I gave him pain killer which helped, but it shouldn't have been that affective as to null all his pain. He could only move like that because he saw your condition, he had a very angry expression on a boy that is that young"
"That idiot, he always gets angry which leads to alot of violence" said Helena.
She than laid back down because of the headache she was getting from all her own screaming.
The nurse stared at her and asked" dont you want to go and see how he is doing in the fight."
Helena looked at the nurse smiling and said" no, its okay. He knows he can't win against them, but I've never seen him get into a fight that he doesn't win"
The nurse was shocked that the girl had this much faith in that boy She was interested into why and how the boy got this girl to have this much trust in him.
I grasped for air when i was on the floor, As I regained some of my breath I didn't know if he broke my ribs or not but it they hurt like hell.
I saw Kenny approaching Me slowly and menacingly. This fight it feels like I'm just a doll who's taking his wrath, I stared at kenny who was on top of me,he looked looked down on me as if I was a piece of trash. He than proceeded to stamp his feet on top of my stomach.
"Sensei shouldn't we stop this" said Allison who was concerned and scared for loket.
"We can't not until he yields or is knocked out of the arena" said himeko
"But he's going to be killed!" said Allison finding it ridiculous that they are still letting this still go on.
Himeko looked at student and for the first time he gave a reassuring smile"ill make sure that doesn't happened, as your teacher and guardian" said himeko.
I felt ashamed and miserable this was the lowest I ever felt in life. Kenny stared down to me and said" is this all your talk has to amount to, I thought you promised me that you'll be beat me to a pulp, yet here i'am on top of you. You truly are the trash of the trash."
I stared at Kenny eyes and I felt fear of losing, fear of my own weakness but most of all I feared that he might be right.
"Come on just surrender, this is just pathetic now i can't bear to watch!" Screamed a random person.
"Come on just lose you loser,I want to watch the other more exciting fights!" screamed another person.
"Come on, loser you heard what the people are saying" said Kenny smugly.
Loser!
Loser!
Loser!
The audience started to chant loser to me. Maybe they are right I should give up,this is pointless. Why am I trying to pretend that I'm a hero or somone of value. I'm not azerth or Allison who are truly were chosen to become someone great.
"You better not give up loket! I know you could do more than that, do not come back here as a pathetic loser! Screamed liam.
But im a loser liam, I'm not like you guys I'm pathetic loser who can't do anything. I'm a pathetic scumbag.
SHOW THEM!, SHOW THEM! who you truly are! The loket I know will laugh at the mockery and break through the ceiling and PROVE EVERY ONE WRONG! Stand up god dam it!"
Kenny was about to finsh loket off but he saw something in lokets eyes he saw for the first tim in his life the soul or the chakra of loket which was burning with intensity that would make anyone waver. Kenny didn't know what he was seeing, was it his mind playing tricks on him or was it real before he could understand loket gripped Kenny's leg.
Kenny tried to move his leg out the way but his leg was stuck under what felt like a thick iron hand.
I looked at his leg and said to myself its fight or die. I bite into his leg as deep as my teeth can get into. I felt my teeth puncture his muscles, I stared as the blood dripped from his leg.
Kenny screamed out in pain" ahhhh, you bite me you bustard".
I quickly took the opportunity and sweeped his other leg. Kenny dropped down onto the floor like a sack of potato. I quickly took of my blue jacket and wrapped it around kennys face.
After that I pounded at his face. Right, left, right, left, right, left. I don't know how long it was but I kept pending at him.
After a few more punches Kenny screamed through the jacket kicking me off of him." Ahhhhh get off me!"
I landed my on my shaking legs which were trying to balance myself to not fall over. I stared as Kenny got up and threw my jacket off of his face. His nose was bloodied and he has a closed eye.
"You'll pay for that, you trash that was your only chance to win, now I'm actually going to kill you" said Kenny hatefully.
He dashed at me with speed I didn't know he had. So he was still holding back, if he going all out that means he finds me as a real threat.
I narrowly doged kennys flying kick by ducking. My body was in a ninety degree angle. As Kenny landed I stepped back a few feet was from me.
Kenny again dashed towards me I tried to doge but the line was right behind my foot. "Now you can't run anymore!" Scramed Kenny.
I stared as the punch was closing in on my face but i stepped forward plunging myself straight into the punch. My forehead nullified some of the power from the punch. I stared at Kenny with my slanty bloodiedy eyes almost looking red because of the blood entering my eyes.
Kenny didn't stop there he kept pushing with his left and right without stopping.
Punch
Punch
Punch
The whole audience was In silence as to why the boy was still standing when he was brutally beaten like this.
"I should stop this" said himeko sensei. As he was about to stop them liam put his hand into he way sayin" sensei please don't. Can't you see that lokets eyes still are alive"
Himeko looked towards loket who was getting beaten brutally lokets face swollen to a extreme extent but himeko saw the fire burning brightly in lokets eyes.
I stopped feeling the pain anymore it was like nulled by my face which was already suffering.
Kenny kept pushing loket but he stated to get exhausted from the constant beating loket. He thought to himself as to why is this boy still standing. He than saw the intense eyes staring back at him. Kenny's focus was lost and for this mistake his Punch missed lokets face going past his face.
Loket saw the punch go past him. This was what i was waiting for. I focused on kennys chin and hit him with full force of my body into the punch.
Kenny skidded back. Loket didn't miss this opportunity and sprinted at Kenny with a raw to push himself past his limits.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" scramed loket
Kenny also sprinted at loket screming" loket!"
They both clashed exchanging blows after blows. They both deflected, countered and punched until one of them will fall.
The whole audience was in awe as to how kids could be fighting like that. The hokage stood up staring at both of them under his hokage hat his eyes were burning with fire.
As they saw their hokage stand up the whole audience stood up.
I have to win, this is for liam who put his trust in me to win this fight, Helena who suffered and was laughed at, Allison who looked in despair as her friend was beaten, and azerth who kept his sadness of fighting his own brother hidden away from us.
I will fight or die! Than to see my friends suffer ill make sure to win and make them screming in victory and happiness.
Kenny saw the intensity of lokets burn even hotter. For the first time he felt true fear of losing.
"Kenny don't you dare lose to that trash" said hallie.
Kenny deflected one of lokets punches and prepared to punch him. He knead his chakra towards his fist covering it in chakra to make his puches even more powerful. He wasn't going to use this but he feared that loket will win if he doesn't.
As Kenny was going to punch him with his chakra technique he was stopped by himeko snesei grabbing his fist.
"What are you doing, I was about to beat him!" Screamed Kenny in frustration.
Himkeo looked at Kenny coldly as never before and said" I won't let you harm my student any longer, hes already not able to fight anymore"
"What are you talking about, iknow he can still fight, look at h...im" said Kenny while looking at loket who was still standing but his eyes were unconscious. He stared at lokets which were burning with fire before now unfocused and unconscious but he felt like he was still being stared at by those eyes.
Kenny opened his eyes in surprise. Himeko sensei grabbed loket so he dosent fall over. The others run over toward him.
"Is he alright sensei!" Screamed azerh in concern.
"I don't know, I'll quickly take him to the nurse" said himeko.
"We'll come with you" said Allison. Himeko nodded.
Before azerth can go his for the first time talked to him." Who was that boy" said Kenny his voice hoarsed.
Azerth looked at his brother and said" loket"
Kenny turned back towards his classand said " I'll remember his name"
Azerth was shocked that Kenny would give respect towards anyone this was the first time that azerth thought that there could be hope to rekindle as brothers. Azerth ran after the others to make sure his friend Is alright.
The whole audience were still stunned by what happened they didn't know how to react. They heard a clapping noise. They turned towards the sound and they saw the hokage clapping with a proud smile. Without a second the audience joined in clapping.
For this day will rembered as a reminder that the loser won their hearts. The shinobi saw the ten years old boy not as a boy but a warrior.
To be continued.
