Chapter 37

For a brief moment and also for the first time in her life, Danuja brain stopped working.

'' Could you repeat that?''  she asked seating down, her legs crossed

'' You will not use your leg kicks in this fight. At all.''  he said proudly making Danuja laugh awkwardly

'' Say old man.''  Danuja said with a serious face  '' Do you want me death?''

Dead was an exaggeration and Danuja could recognize that but it wasn't any secret for either of them that Danuja leg kicks where her saving point more than one time. That he power lays more in her lower body, like her legs and hips and not in her upper body, like her arms and shoulders.

He know that.

Danuja herself knows that.

All of those fuckers Danuja beat up over the years know that.

So why the fuck wasn't she suppose to use her leg kicks in this fight?

In response Mr. Touma scoffed  '' Stop being dramatic. This should be your motivation to work your upper strength better. It's also an opportunity. He has more fighting experience than you but he is pretty young as well. You can learn from him kid.''  he said earnestly but the only thing Danuja could hear was the sound of her own body hitting the ground

'' Fine, fine. I can learn from him and all that. I get it.''  she said getting out of the ring, walking to her bottle of water  '' What does all that have with my kicks? Where is the logic in this? Mh?''  she said frustrated

'' Stop being a girl-''

Now I'm offended  Danuja though snorting

''- and think about this thing kid. Use your upper body to hit this fight and let your legs for any other fights.''  he said determinate 

Danuja breathed deeply, letting the air out carefully. This was a problem and she wasn't sure if without her legs she could won this fight.

'' You said that when we are on the ground anything it's fine. Like anything it's allowed from weak points to biting.''  she said frowning

'' That's right.''  he said concentrated  '' But don't worry about that kid. You are already training your upper strength and boys like you can build muscle fast enough, especially with your stature.''

Yes, sure.  The only problem here it's that I'm a girl you batshit fucker    Danuja thought viciously 

'' Fine. Okay. Sure. I do it without kicks. In exchange give me a hundred dollars if I win.''  she said risking

To her surprise Mr. Touma just laughed before putting an arm around her shoulders patting her roughly.

'' If you get out without any open wounds I give you two hundreds. ''  he said smirking gleeful when Danuja hand moved forward for a shake without her accord

I should tackle with Dad more this week    Danuja though getting shoved back in the ring, in front of the wood log    File my nails too 

'' Wait a second.'' she muttered making Mr. Touma hum at her  '' It's this why I'm hitting this fucking log? ''

'' Huh. You were a little slow on that.'' 

'' Mr. Touma.''  Danuja said turning at him smiling meanly  '' Eat shit.''  she earned that bottle of water hurling at her forehead 

------

'' Fuck.'' 

Danuja muttered the next day, seating on the pavement in front of the gate, waiting for Kana. Dad whined, nosing her cheek before sniffing her body, taking a seat on her shoes, making her unable to get up. Not like she wanted to.

'' I don't even think I can get up now.'' she said to herself feeling the burn in her arm, shoulders and core ripping though her flesh. It wasn't a big deal last night or even that morning but when she finally seat down after her trek to school she could already feel her upper body burning

Even my breasts hurt  she thought trying to flex her body subtlety  How does that even work? 

'' Did you fought again?''  Kana voice startled her and Dad. It wasn't really a surprise that Kana could startle her but startling Dad? How do you even startle a dog who can hear and smell a hundreds time better than a human?

'' I didn't.'' Danuja said before growling lowly in her throat when Kana, brazenly poked her shoulder  '' I swear I didn't.''  she muttered putting a soothing hand on Dad head before guiding him to his spot and letting his own things down

'' Then, if you didn't fought  than why are you hurting? '' Kana asked genuinely confused making Danuja hum

It wouldn't be a good idea to tell her that I'm training for a fight that I have half changes to lose right?  Danuja thought to herself before knocking Kana shoulder awkwardly, not voicing any of her pain

'' I played a little too rough with Dad last night. Sometimes it happens and I come out with some soreness.''  she said smiling down at Kana making the girl blush

'' If you say so.''  she mumbled leaning just the littlest bit on Danuja side when they come in the crowded corridor, Danuja opening the door of the classroom for her  '' Thank you.''  she said softly at Danuja, the noise in the class quieting down,

It come as a pleasant surprise at the beginning that her classmates didn't need a lot of convincing from Danuja part that they should hold their tongue when Kana would enter the room. She was also very specific that it doesn't mean they should stay quiet and stare like idiots, soft whispering was fine after all. 

Her teachers were actually relieved when Danuja moved her seat behind Kana. So Danuja let her bag fall on the ground before leaning on her bench for the rest of classes, eyes closed and fingers touching lightly Kana hair between the teacher words.

Danuja breathed in her soft vanilla scent and coconut waft from her hair and fall asleep better than in her own bed.

Soft touches, trailing on Danuja rough pads made her blink awake from her slumber just to realize that lunch break was ingoing and that the classroom was empty beside the two of them.

'' It must have been a really rough play if you are tired like this.''  Kana said pressing slightly on the new, future callouses on her hands

'' That's okay.''  Danuja said her voice cracking making her clear her throat  '' I always win at the end.''  she smirked when Kana just huffed amused, interlocking her fingers with Danuja's

'' Silly.''
