It was finally time, one whole week had passed and it was the day of Natsuki's battle. She wasn't worried of course, because she had been training every second she could.

By the time the day knocked around Natsukis wounds were almost completely healed aswell, so she was in perfect shape.

Right now it was lunch time and she was sitting at the rooftop with Yuri, who she had grown to love even more.

"I managed to go to that therapist I told you about the other day..." Said Yuri quietly, right between bites of her sushi.

"That's good! How did it go?" Asked Natsuki whilst eating her own sushi made by Yuri herself.

"Well...she was happy to see that I haven't rebound in a while." Said Yuri as she began to slightly rub her arm, where all her scars were.

Natsuki gently raised her hand up Yuri's arm under her uniform, lightly grazing the now completely healed cuts. Yuri shivered at that, like any type of physical contact with Natsuki.

"So what's changed? What's happened to make it stop?" Calmly asked Natsuki being sure to speak gently and trace her fingers lightly over Yuri's scars.

"Well it's not like I dont miss it sometimes, at some point it turned pleasurable...but I think it's because I've gotten away from Kate and that house...it's much less stressful living with you.." Smiled Yuri whispering and looking down trying not to blush,

"It's ok Yuri, just know it's super awesome at how well your doing. Proud of you Yuri!" Happily said Natsuki, trying to be supportive and shining her sharp toothy grin at Yuri while holding onto Yuri's upper arm. Yuri giggled at Natsuki enthusiasm.

"Is it just me, or have you stopped stuttering too?" Asked Natsuki. Yuri sat there thinking for a minute.

"I guess so? But I have a feeling it's just around you." Said Yuri as she leaned to the side and rested her head on Natsuki's. Natsuki was shocked and blushing, a bad and fatal combo for a tsundere.

"D-Don't go saying weird stuff like that!" Said Natsuki feeling her heart beat increase. 'God she smells so good...Of I was taller ain't no way in hell she'd be able to pull off this shit!!!!' thought Natsuki.

"I actually need to thank you Natsuki." Said Yuri, Natsuki looked at her with confusion.

"Thanks to you, I think I might be able to get better." Said Yuri sincerely. Natsuki couldn't help but smile at that.

"It's no problem Yuri, n-not that I wanted to help or anything! Your just like a free made or whatever!!!" Said Natsuki. Yuri giggled and lowered her head to look at Natsuki.

"Don't get hurt today Natsuki, please." Begged Yuri with a sad glint in her eyes.

"I won't. I pinky promised remember?" Smiled Natsuki holding out her pinky. Yuri smiled as she wrapped her own pinky around Natsukis.

"Yes, yes you did." Said Yuri, sitting back up normally and gazed deep into Natsukis sparkling magenta eyes, Natsuki looked back into Yuri's violet ones and just stared at each other like that for what felt like an eternity, getting lost in each others gazes, unable to move while still having there pinkies wrapped around each other. They slowly itched closer together, until they became dangerously close and were practically sharing body warmth. The only thing that snapped them out of it was the bell, signalling lunch was over. Both girls turned into blushing messes, practically bouncing away from each other and went there separate ways to go to lessons.

'What was that with Yuri earlier?! Were we about to kiss??! Does she like me?!? No! No! Don't be stupid Natsuki! I'm sure it was nothing. Yeah! I just miss understood the situation!' thought Natsuki as she made her way to the literature club. She walked in and saw Monika and Sayori were hugging.

"Hey Natsuki, you ready?" Said Monika looking up at her.

"Ready as I'll ever be." Sighed Natsuki, not nervous in the slightest.

"Natsuki they said we need to meet them in the sports hall, do you have your gloves and kit?" Asked Sayori moving her head, which was berried in Monika's shoulder.

"Hey where's Yuri?" Asked Natsuki.

"She hasn't turned up yet, were still waiting for her." Said Sayori as she detached herself from Monika, which made Monika and Sayori little sad. They waited around ten minutes for Yuri, but the purple haired beauty was no where to be found, they were about to head out and Natsuki was at the door reading to open it when it swung open and someone crashed into her.

Natsuki felt pain on her back because she fell onto the floor, but in her front she felt something very soft and warm, she opened her eyes and had the blood rush straight to her face because on top of her was Yuri and Natsukis face was right in her chest.

Yuri shot up instantly and stuttered a storm of apologies to Natsuki as she helped her up. Natsuki felt something warm and wet on her boiling hot face and she moved her hand to feel whatever it was and was shocked to find out that her nose was bleeding.

"S-Sorry I'm late! I-I h-had to help with- OH MY GOD NATSUKI YOUR BLEEDING!" Said Yuri looking at a dazed Natsuki who was blankly staring at her hands covered in blood.

"H-Here use this." Said Yuri as she handed Natsuki a hancerchif.

"T-Thanks" said Natsuki quietly as she cleaned her face and hands.

"Oh, you missed a spot Natsuki." Said Yuri as she took the hancerchif and wiped Natsukis cheek for her.

"T-Thanks Yuri." Said Natsuki. Natsuki put the hancerchif in her pocket and tried to ignore Monikas and Sayori's snickering.

"Alright then, let's go love birds, before they say we forfitted or something." Said Monika as all the dokis finally departed for the sports hall.

When they got there Natsuki went to the changing rooms while everyone else went inside and sat down on a few of the benches around the crappy small school boxing ring. They weren't noticed since the club members of the boxing club were putting together a square ring for the match.

"Who do you thinks gunna fight Natsuki?" Asked Sayori.

"Probably the president of the club, he has some broken pride to regain after Natsuki kicked his ass." Said Monika.

"I think they all look big and scary!" Said Sayori slightly clinging to Monika's arm, making Monika smile.

"Relax Sayori, do any of them really seem scarier then Natsuki?" Asked Monika.

"...no, I guess not." Said Sayori.

"I-I t-think Natsuki s-still needs to be careful." Said Yuri fiddling with her hair awkwardly sitting next to the (spoiler alert) future love birds.

"Well duh! These guys fight! For fun!" Exclaimed Sayori, still holding onto Monika.

"Sayori if you hold onto me any tighter you'll become a piece of clothing on my arm." Said Monika feeling the blood slightly stop flowing to her arm. Sayori puffed her cheeks and continues to hold Monika.

"I'm just a little scared, I mean look! We're really out numbered and all these guys were scary last week." Said Sayori. Monika used her free hand to pat Sayori on the head.

"Don't worry Sayori, once Natsukis done with them they will be banished to the shadow realm." Smiled Monika reassuringly. Sayori smiled back.

"Ok! But I'm still not letting you go! Your my human shield!" Said Sayori only pressing her chest further into Monika's arm. Monika laughed at that and subtle looked away to hide her blush, before they all watched the brutes arguing every five seconds to prove who was stronger, none of them even realised they were there.

Finally after what seemed like an eternity (which was probably just under ten minutes) the brutes had finally finished setting up and safety checking the boxing ring.

"Hell yeah! We finally finished!" Yelled one guy.

"Awesome! Now someone go and get the chicks from the other club!" Said the club president of the brutes.

"That won't be necessary, we are already here." Said Monika standing up from the benches.

"H-How long were you guys there?!" Asked the brute president with a small blush, clearly embarrassed because of how idiotic they were all acting.

"Long enough Tom, long enough." Said Monika crossing her arms (yaaaay I was able to name one of theeeeeem!) (╥﹏╥)

"So, where's the short one? She didn't chicken out did she?" Laughed Tom as the rest of his club laughed with him.

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SHORT DIP SHIT!?!!" yelled Natsuki who had just walked in from the other room, wearing black boxing gloves and boots with pink string just as bright as her hair. She wore a black sleeveless top with a pink cat on it and black track suits.

"So, you finally decided to show up?!" Yelled Tom trying to intimidate Natsuki.

"I was waiting for you BAKA. So are we gunna do this or not?!" Said Natsuki obviously pumped for the fight.

"Alright then." Smirked Tom. Both of them made it to the boxing ring, Natsuki in one corner and Tom in the other.

"Alright then, we will have one round. First to pass out, tap out or stay on the floor for 10 seconds loses. Winner gets the club room, sound fair to you ladies?" Asked Tom with a smug smile.

"Sounds fair to me, what do you guys think?" Asked Monika, which everyone but Natsuki agreed.

"Nah, thats not enough. If we win you don't come anywhere near us or OUR fucking club room." Ordered Natsuki.

"Deal. But you do realise you trying to be intimidating is just cute?" Smirked Tom, all of the dokies stepped back.

"Oh sugar plum fairies, he messed up..." Whispered Sayori, earning a nod from Monika and Yuri. Sayori began to pray for Tom's survival, making the shape of the holy cross on her chest.

"What did you just call me?" Said Natsuki very quietly, her vain's pulsing as she gritted her teeth in pure rage.

"Also last time you got the drop on me. Things won't be so easy this time." Smirked Tom getting into his stance.

"No one...and I mean NO ONE..." Said Natsuki just before a bell rang, signalling the fight had began.

"CALLS ME CUTE!!!" Practically screamed Natsuki as she pounced towards him, looking as if she was going for a right hook so Tom got into a defensive stance with his feet shoulder length apart, slightly hunched over with his arms guarding his head.

Natsuki quickly stomped her foot down in front of Tom and threw her other leg up right in-between his legs, directly kicking his balls with her heavy boot.

She watched as his face paled with shock and agony with a smirk, managing to kick him one more time before Tom retaliated and threw a wobbly punch at Natsuki, which she easily dodged by jumping away, but kicked Tom harshly in the calf while dodging, making him stumble and swagger in so much pain.

However he used his position to lean forward into a sharp punch straight on Natsukis stomach, causing her to almost fall back leaving an opening to yet another punch.

Natsuki was able to block it and uppercut him in the chin becacuse of their hight difference and by the end of it they both stood a few feet apart in defensive positions, waiting to see who would do the next move.

Tom struck first and punched downwards towards Natsuki but she slid to the side and stuck her foot to trip him, hiting his calf where she had previously hit him, making him fall to the floor.

Natsuki swung around her foot to stomp and kick down onto him but tom rolled out of the way before shooting up on one leg and punching Natsukis side with enough strength to push her into the corner even though she had managed to block it.

By the time Natsuki rebalanced herself, Tom was already there opposite her and showered her with several quick and harsh punches, several landing on her gut before Natsuki took a very low and closed defensive stance to block as best as she could.

She didn't realise just how bigger this guy was compared to her until now and it sparked too many memories of feeling small and taking all those hits from her dad.

Natsuki could hear the loud shouts and roars of Tom's club members cheering him on, driving him to punch harder and faster with confidence and just then, in the distance almost hidden from all the noise, was the sound of her club mates cheering her on aswell.

In unison the dokis shouted "don't give up!!!" And "You can do it Natsuki!!!"

She turned her head slightly to the side and saw all of her friends cheering for her, Sayori and Monika punching their fists in the air while screaming their guts out for Natsuki.

But everything went slow when her eyes turned to look at the scared bit determined and hopeful look on Yuri's face, holding her hands to her chest while trying to keep up with Monika and Sayori's cheers.

Then they made eye contact, pink and purple collided and Yuri with a determined look helled up her pinkie and screamed with all her might:

"YOU PROMISED NATSUKI!!!!"

As if some sort of switch was flipped, Natsuki bolted forward between Tom's punches and headbutted him right in the face, messing with his coordination emencly.

And with lightning speed Natsuki reached her arms back and grabbed onto the ropes around the ring, lifting her legs up to her chest before shooting them forward right into Tom's stomach.

Not even his decent set of abs could save him from a full force kick with both legs.

Tom grabbed his stomach in pain and stumble backwards, his face all white and yellow looking as if he was about to throw up.

Natsuki pounced towards him and uppercut Tom on his chin once again, too dizzy to calculate a defence and with him wide open, Natsuki went in for the kill.

Now it was Natsuki to bombard and shower him with punches, only much faster and decisive ones that not only hit his previously injured stomach but his side's, throat, jaw and anywhere else it hurt.

Tom was so week that even when he tried to pull his arms up to defend himself Natsuki would just punch his arms away.

She pushed and pushed with every punch until Natsuki has successfully moved them across the ring and now it was Tom who was up against the corner.

Natsuki then continued to kick him in his injured calf and any time he'd try to retaliate Natsuki would blow away his movements with several punches, back to back.

When his legs couldn't take it anymore, Tom fell to his knees and Natsuki smirked before grabbing his head with her gloved hands and ramming pulling it forward to ram into her knee.

There was a moment of silence where all you could hear was Natsukis heavy breathing when she stepped away to make room for Tom's body making a loud thud when he slammed into the floor unconscious.

"Arivederci." Said Natsuki after doing a few stretches before hopping out of the right, holding ger stomach and sides in pain.

"Holly shit you actually did it!" Yelled Sayori pouncing and hugging Natsuki. Only to quickly pull away when Natsuki yelped in pain.

"Thank you Natsuki! We get to keep the club room!" Said Monika over joyed. Yuri stood quietly in the background watching and gave Natsuki a small round of applause.

Natsuki limped into the changing rooms not allowing anyone to help or carry her there, affraid they'd touch one of her injuries and took her sweet sweet time changing into some spare clothes she brought with her, wincing every time she moved to quickly.

Midway through changing Natsuki noticed she was in front of the body length mirror they had in the room and looked at herself from head to toe. She saw he managed to hit her cheek at some point and grazed her fingers over the red mark before wincing and stopping her actions immediately. She chuckled at that, not knowing what she was expecting and smiled and fist bumped her reflection feeling a little spark of hope.

"Well now you have proof that if dad ever tries any shit when he gets back you can kick his ass! But if he punched a little lower he would have gotten my jaw and a little higher he would have gotten my eye. But all he did was fuck up my cheek." Said Natsuki thinking about how luck she was in the fight and how luck she was to have the friends she did. But then Natsuki remembered her promise to Yuri and saw all the forming bruises on her body.

"Fuck. Yuri is gunna be pissed." Whispered Natsuki a little worried.

She sat down on the bench in front of the mirror, placing her bag by her side and opened it reviewing her pain killers, cream for the bruises, a bottle of water and a packet of mini cheddars to help the pills go down.

Natsuki thanked her past self while she ate the mini cheddars before washing them down with two painkillers and lots of water, sighing in satisfaction at how faster the pills worked when you eat something first.

She had debated weather she should have gotten fully changed first and put the cream on by lifting the sides of her shirt but after deciding it was too much effort Natsuki stayed in her sports bra and began to add the cream to her bruises.

"Son of a bitch!" Shouted Natsuki, her voice slightly muffled by her gritted teeth, her skin incredibly sensitive.

"Damn it! This hurts so fucking much! Some help would be nice! I'm gunna need someone's help with this..." Thought Natsuki as she applied the cream.

Just then she heard the door to the changing rooms open.

"Hey Natsuki I brought you some wate-." Said Yuri walking in with a bottle of water and dropped it when she saw Natsukis arms and stomach, a look of shock and anger on her perfect features at the sight of all her bruises. Natsuki gulped at the sight, not sure what to expect.

"H-Hey Yuri..." Nervously said Natsuki putting the cream down.

Yuri calmly picked up the bottle of water, walked up to Natsuki and handed her the bottle. Natsuki instantly opened it and took large gulps of the water until over half of the bottle was empty, not having packed enough herself.

"Phew! Thanks Yuri! I think I would have been dying of...thirst..." Said Natsuki growing a cold sweat at the sight of Yuri with her arms crossed and her beautiful eyes glaring right down at Natsuki.

"You told me you'd be careful." Said Yuri as her expression softened as tears fell out of her gentle eyes down her soft cheeks before her slender hands covered her face. Natsuki instantly shot up from the bench in shock and worry, no longer feeling pain.

"Oh no! Yuri I-I'm sorry! I'm so, so sorry! I swear I tried! Oh gosh, I didn't mean to make you cry!" Said Natsuki a she slowly moved her arms around Yuri. Yuri slowly hugged Natsuki back, so gently that it almost felt like lovely little lavender scented feathers were covering Natsukis body.
