[i][b][center]Eddie Rig vs Kagenuma Yuzuki[/center][/b][/i]

[color=a2d39c]"Ah! The last one! Lucky~!" [/color]she said, skipping over to the sole pudding left on display.

Having just arrived at the aforementioned shop, Yuzuki browsed but for a moment before discovering one of her favourite treats on sale. Not just any old pudding too; it was the one people usually lined up for half an hour at least just to get some. To have one unsold with no one claiming it was akin to a miracle. The rest of the food on the shelves pale in comparison to this soft golden treat.

It was enough to make her perk up again.

[color=a2d39c]"Hey hey hey~ Shopkeeper, gimme that one!"[/color]

[b]"Yes! It's still here!"[/b] Eddie exclaimed when he arrived to the shop. He's had his eye on this little treat that she's been saving money for. A luxurios little thing, he could buy two good lunches for the price of this snack, but that's why he saved up money for it. This was to spoil himself. And after all the work he's been doing, he felt like he deserve a bit of a treat.

[b]"Scusi, I'd like that snack please!"[/b]

Then he noticed another girl there. She was eying his snack.

In her jubilation, she just only noticed the man who seemed to have his eye on the pudding as well. 

With a brilliant but slightly dangerous smile, she said. [color=a2d39c]"Too late, its mine now."[/color]

Eddie shot a look at the girl who laid claim to the snack. Wordlessly he slammed down a wad of cash, a bit more then what he needed to pay for the snack, but regardless he made his intentions clear. [b]"I beg to differ. [i]I am[/i] paying for my snack. Right now."[/b] Eddie returned her smile with a trollish grin, like he was picking on a little kid. And considering the girl was a good bit shorter then he was, she really was little to him.

The temperature around her started rising, her clothes billowing slightly due to the heat. Her smile lost all trace of its brilliance, a dark expression instead replacing it. Money didn't exactly come easy to her, and to have this guy suddenly show up out of nowhere.
With a swift move of her hand, she pointed straight at the man. He was obviously from the same school she went to, so there was really only one way to solve this without her using up her pocket money.

[color=a2d39c]"School rules! I'm declaring this mine, and I'm not giving it up without a fight."[/color]

[b]"Challange accepted!"[/b]

Eddie's words moved faster then his mind. What was he thinking? Was he really going to fight this little girl over [i]pudding[/i]?! But regardless of the circumstances, he was a man of honor. And he would honor this challenge. The shop keeper, seemingly familiar with something like this happening, told the two students to take their fight outside. He will hold  the prize and serve as the referee.
Once outside Eddie carefully removed his school's jacket and shirt. He didn't want to get them dirt. He would have taken off his pants too, but even he had some shame. But he had no shame about his well toned and muscular body, crafted from yeahs of hard labor and practice. The tattoo's on his body were not simply brands from his time at the fight pits; they contained mathematical formulas and scientific theories that helped him during work. Plus they seemed cooler then fake scars or thorny briars.

[b]"My name is Eddie Rig! And this is your final chance to surrender. You may be a girl, but I'm not going to go easy on you!"[/b]

Man or not, she wasn't about to give up anything, especially when this person simply accepted the challenge with barely a second thought. Hopefully he could give a good fight, enough to justify him challenging her pudding. But she was excited enough to have someone fight her that she wouldn't really mind losing.

With a flick of her hands to the side, she readied herself for the coming fight, right palm open and outwards towards her opponent, and the left behind her back. 

[color=a2d39c]"Kagenuma Yuzuki." [/color]she simply said.

[b][i]"Kagenuma Yuzuki? Must be Japanese. Yuzuki... That's a cute name."[/i][/b] Seeing that Yuzuki wasn't going to surrender Eddie limbered up and got into something akin to a fighting stance. His elbows were close to his body, good for intercepting kicks with elbow strikes, and his hands lightly cupped so they could reach out and grab, or ball into a fist before impact. Still his stance looked ramshackled, borrowed from someone else. Get past the somewhat intimdiating vistage of a six-foot man bound with muscles, and it was fairly obvious that Eddie was more of a brawler then a martial artist. His training came from experince, and he has much to learn.

With both fighters dedicated to the fight the referee looked at the two and picked up a flag, raising it into the air. "This is a dispute match! The challenger is Kagenuma Yuzuki against the challenger Eddie Rig. This is not a title ranked fight, but who ever shall win will be allowed to buy this delicious pastry. This is not a battle to the death nor to submission! The first to fall onto their backs or chest by the efforts of your opponent loses! Fighters ready? THEN BATTLE!"

Eddie charged straight towards Yuzuki with a battle cry. He moved fast, but moved under his own power. He wasn't using his ability just yet, saving that for later. His opening move looked to be a Flicker Jab straight to Yuzuki's face, but in truth that was actually a feint. He was actually setting himself up to do a low leg sweep to knock Yuzuki off her feet and onto her back.

With a deep breath, she let out a kiai, exploding the air behind her, launching her at frightening speed towards him. There wasn't a moment wasted in thinking, her actions was merely by feeling what was right. Yuzuki wasn't aiming for a throw, but a palm strike straight for his solar plexus, using her size to get under his blow.

Eddie's feint missed Yuzuki, but that was intended. What wasn't intended was for her to close the distance so much and get him right in the gut. He torqued his body the last second so that it wasn't a clean strike right into his abdominals, but he could still feel the force of her blow bounce off his chest. It was like running into a fence post. But this wasn't enough to take out Eddie, not on the first blow!

Now with him and Yuzuki so close to one another Eddie tried to cover her field of vision by slamming his elbow towards her face, however at the same time he was also moving his foot to trip Yuzuki. If this doesn't work he could still shoot for a lunge and follow up with a take down, but if it does work he'll need to crush Yuzuki on the spot before she can recover.

With barely enough time to recover from her own speedy launch, the elbow connected with her face, sending her reeling before he tried to trip her. Reflexes however, saved her from the fall, as she simply somersaulted a distance away. Yuzuki wiped off the blood from her nose. Did he break her nose? 

"AHAHAA~ Good! That's good... Its no fun beating up a weakling.."

Once again, she took up the ready stance, though now plumes of fire had started to circle her. Instead of simply launching herself this time however, she started taking small circular steps towards him.

With Yuzuki giving them space Eddie allowed himself a moment to check his wound. It wasn't serious, but he was starting to feel the bruise form. [b][i]"Damn. That was just a graze. I'd hate to see what'll happen if that was a clean hit."[/i][/b] Resuming his fighting stance he looked at Yuzuki. Small bits of fire began to circle around her, causing Eddie to feel uneasy. He knew the school had some super powered freaks, but he was now literally playing with fire... 

[b]"That's hot."[/b]

Eddie smirked and looked around. They had a fairly open area to fight, so he didn't have to worry about obstacles in his way. But that also meant he didn't have anything to chuck at Yuzuki, since he doubt his body could handle getting pelted by fireballs. Or at least he didn't want to test if it could. He needed to play defensive. He needed to use mind games. He wanted to know more about Yuzuki.

[b]"So tell me, uh... Kagenuma-san?"[/b] Eddie only knew a bit about Japanese honorifics from mangas. [b]"How long have you been fighting?[/b]

Was he not taking this seriously? Perhaps he didn't realize she could put him in a hospital for a long time. Her stride changed, taking large spinning steps straight to his back. With the momentum from her movement, Yuzuki swung her hand towards his ribs.

"Stop talking and fight me!"

Watching Yuzuki carefully, Eddie had to be evasive. Fortunately for him, he was no stranger to dodging, so he remained quick on his feet. It was much easier since he was trying to be defensive too. But Yuzuki proved to be much faster, even when Eddie was trying to keep up. He knew she was trying to attack him from behind, but he also knew that there was very little he could do to try to stop her. So he let her get behind him, and when she charged he activated his ability for a few seconds.

Channeling his power of Friction through the ground, when Yuzuki got near Eddie actually made it less stable for her; like walking on slick ice or an oiled up floor, Yuzuki would be unbalanced, potentially slipping and falling. Even if she tried to land on her butt or hand, they too would have difficulty maintaining any grip. All the while Eddie was evasive and continued to try to talk to her, though he still felt the force of her blow hit him in the back. He rode the force to put distance between them, turning to face her properly. His back ached a bit, but he was still standing.

[b]"Hey, a good relationship needs communication! I'm just trying to get to know you a bit more. Or maybe you'd like to ask me questions first?"[/b] Letting out a soft chuckle to mask the light groan as he felt his rib pop back into place.

While she did manage to hit the guy, all of a sudden the ground was strangely slippery, as if she was standing on ice. So thus, her spinning motion from before spun her about the place until she stopped some distance away.

[color=a2d39c]"Eh? EH!?" [/color]Yuzuki had no idea what the guy did, but whatever it was, it was related to the ground.

Wordlessly she listened to him speak, before it finally dawned on her. "I see... I'm sorry for not understanding you." It was so simple that she didn't notice it. The pudding didn't matter now, not when she finally get what he was saying.

Taking in a deep breath, she started regulating her breathing, the temperature around her rising quickly, as wreaths of flames covered her body. 
[color=a2d39c]
"So let us fight at full power!"[/color]
