Description: Momoko and Bao have a sparring session in their Southtown apartment. But Bao makes the grievous mistake of following Kensou's advice, and it doesn't work out well at all for the littlest Psycho Soldier! You know what they say about women scorned...
It's late in the evening at the Gorin Heights apartment being rented out by the Psycho Soldiers in Southtown. It's been a mostly quiet day thus far, with Kensou having spent most of it away from the den and Momoko and Bao having spent the majority of their time tending to personal affairs. It's the most peace they've had in a while, what with the siege on Southtown recently. But the streets have been suspiciously quiet for the last week or so...
Still, that was no reason to slack on their training. So, with what little time they have left in the day, Momoko and Bao each found the time to get together for a sparring session.
Now, with all of the dangerous or obstructive furniture moved out of the way, Momoko and Bao had nearly the entirety of the carpeted living room to themselves. "...Okay Bao, Kensou says we gotta do some practice training! So Momoko will be your opponent today instead of Kensou! I hope you're ready!" The spritely little brunette, wearing a tiny black top and white capoeira pants, leaps twice cheerfully... ribbons aflutter. She then drops low to the ground and throws a deft little sweep at the empty air before spinning up all her weight onto one supporting hand and doing a handstand with her back facing him. From there she 'waves' cutely by swinging her heels, "...You ready??"
And a *whumpf* comes as she falls back onto her feet, swaying rhythmically from foot to foot in place...
Big Brother Kensou had also made it very clear that there would be -no- psychic power usage, because even Master Gentsai could not pay for all the damages if he had.
So Bao, with his trademark hat tossed to the side in order to focus purely on his physical skills, is only too proud.
It was a wonder that the people living in the floors behind them didn't protest at the thumping from above. Not that it matters, as Bao answers Momoko's *whumpf* with a short bow, his hand to the side, before bringing them up in a Chinese Kung-Fu stance. "Ready!" the young man exclaims, before gulping a bit as his voice cracks a bit.
Gazes lock, and the internal countdown begins.
Three... Two... One... GO!
"Okay!" the spritely little brunette replies, saying nothing else before she rolls onto her right hand and then uses her momentum to roll right back onto her feet near Bao in a wide cartwheel. From there, she immediately drops low to the ground attempts a rolling sweep kick supported by one arm followed by two heel kicks aimed a bit higher - hoping to try and kick Bao onto his back. Regardless of the outcome of that attack, she then attempts to roll away defensively (provided he doesn't catch her feet or something) and pop back onto her feet again.
"Ok! Bao's going to get Momoko!"
The more the young boy hung around Momoko, the quicker he started picking up her speech patterns.
Trying to feint, Bao manages to hop over the sweep kick, but then gets caught by the heel kicks, flying backwards just far enough to land against the floor.
Taking the fall smoothly, the young soldier pops back up onto his feet with a -tup-tup- as Momoko rolls away.
Rubbing his chest, the young psycho soldier takes assessment of Momoko, and considers again Kensou's word.
"Okay, then!" And the first thing Bao does was feint to the left, feint to the right, and then go try and hit dead center...
Whilst Bao was busy recovering from her kicks to his sternum, Momoko had resumed her idle swaying. It looked almost akin to harmless dancing in place, but if Bao's ever fought Momoko before he'd know there was a subtle trick to it - it actually made side-to-side evasion easier due to the momentum. "Hehe, you're off to a good start!", she teases, cupping her hands behind her back as she sways - her ribbons dancing to and fro.
When Bao comes roaring back toward her for his retaliation, Momoko does not look outwardly concerned. But inwardly, she's watching /very/ carefully.
Due to making use of that little dance of hers, Momoko easily sways right and then left... deflecting the first two feints expertly. But her swaying motion could not readily prepare her for that center thrust. Especially since she was -not- expecting it... and Bao catches her right in the middle of swaying leftward... and his hand strikes her right breast dead center.
-Squish-
"OW!", she cries, face turning bright pink as she staggers backward and realizes where he hit her. "...!!!..." .... There's a short pause. ... "Momoko thought she TOLD you, Bao!"
And then she's rushing him suddenly, throwing herself onto her left arm and swinging her legs high in an attempt to capture his neck. If she can manage, she'll attempt to hurl him to the ground sideways. "PUNCHING GIRLS IN THE BOOBS IS PERVY!"
It -was- much easier to punch when he wasn't so concerned about avoiding large areas of chest punching. Because anywhere he could aim was simple enough. Still, his eyes widen when, instead of praising him, Momoko shrieks, and then comes charging.
Rather than defend, Bao immediately leaps -upwards-, timing it to land on Momoko's shoulders... except he'd not reckoned with Momoko's -handspring attack-, getting his feet tangled with Momoko's and falling forward.
WHUMP!
"Iiieee!" Bao exclaims, as his front hits the floor, stunned for a moment before he scrambles to get back onto his feet.
"But jiejie!" he squeaks out, trying to explain... although whether Momoko would let him is another thing, but he was going to try anyway, in between punches!
"But nothing! DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY!", she says this all the while attempting deflect his attacks and land her own. Hi first punch misses, the second makes contact with Momoko's face however as she gets too overzealous in her pursuit of RIGHTEOUS JUSTICE and steps into it. It floors her, knocking her flat of her back... but only for about a second or so. She's quick to spring back up onto her hands and away before charging at him again, feet flying like a pissed Hitmonlee! Yes, those things! "Dirty! You have been spending too much time with Kensou, Bao! He's teaching you bad things isn't he!"
"Iieee! Jiejie, I didn't mean to hit you..."
And then Momoko is already attacking and Bao is busy trying to block, dodge, weave, and explain all at the same time. "But Gege..." Duck. "Said..." Sway. "Women..." WHOMP!
"Iiie!" Rolling backwards with the last kick, Bao scrambles, moving around the room and trying to duck behind a re-arranged couch, so that he can crawl through to the other side...
"Lies!" Momoko replies, even whilst her feet are a blur of perpetual motion, "Unless you mean you were TRYING to grab my boob!" This thought only makes her face flush even darker, and her feet move even more frantically with the energy of her fury. She was almost overexerting herself now.
Then, finally, a kick connects clean and sends Bao rolling and the brunette is quick to give chase. "I know what Kensou probably said! He probably told you women like to be touched while fighting! He probably told you to grope me!" She yells this, even whilst flying through the air with another kick aimed at where he landed. It's a missed attack, however, as Bao darts behind the couch and Momoko goes skidding on her back across the floor. Her momentum carries her into an end table they'd moved aside, a decorative vase on top immediately rattled by the kick and then tumbling off!
Momoko has to ignore Bao momentarily to catch it, and leap to her feet, giving him a momentary reprieve whilst she places it back on the stand. But then, she turns around again... brown eyes searching furiously and attempting to locate him... "Where'd you go?!"
"I'm not here!" squeaks a voice from behind a shifted cabinet.
There was the sound of shuffling across the floor, as Bao keeps on moving, scrambling for other hiding places.
"I wasn't -grabbing-! I was -hitting-! Gege said women would..." Oh oh, surely Momoko was about to come find him behind the table, and so the young man keeps on moving, quickly, trying to crawl underneath a few chairs.
"... appreciate it if we fought them with all our heart and might!"
And then, taking a chance, Bao darts out from behind his crawling space, and dodges into the kitchen...
Following Bao's voice first to the cabinet, Momoko darts over and peers behind it... but by that time she's already missed it and he's sounding at her from over by the table. This revelation sees her darting wordlessly toward the table across the carpeted floor, leaping into the air deftly, and flinging herself onto the table with a noisy crash!
From there she frantically moves about the table, searching around the chairs with her eyes, "I told you not to hit! Why would you listen to that pervert and not me! Unless you really wanted to try to do something weird and pervy too!", and then finally just looks underneath the table itself... and sees him darting toward the kitchen. And a dead end.
"You won't get away in there!", she declares before leaping from the table swiftly to follow him from behind.
"Iiee... but Big Brother Kensou explained it! He's our elder! And he said..." Bao exclaims, as he leaps up onto the counter, sending dishes rattling as he scuttles across it before he pulls himself up onto the top of the fridge, doing his best to keep his head low and staying squat.
"He said we have to show you how we respect you with a punch!"
It would be awfully hard for Momoko to do anything up there, unless...
"That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard!" The irate brunette girl replies as she darts ninto the kitchen after him, hearing the clatter from the dishes and immediately looking toward the sink. But by then Bao has already moved again. "Are you even listening to what you say!", she calls out... her head whipping around in an attempt to find him.
And then she spots him, on top of the refridgerator... and frowns... "...You have to stop listening to Kensou!" And stop underestimating her. Momoko defies Bao's expectations by leaping toward the wall nearest the refridgerator, springing off of it for height, and grabbing at the refridgerator like the little acrobat she is! She then starts trying to pull herself up, "He's a pervert and a liar! Don't you remember the stories he tried to make up to cover up his magazine!"
And as Momoko starts up the refrigerator, Bao reaches out, and -pushes- the freezer door open, so that Momoko can move with it!
"Iie... but if he's a pervert," Bao exclaims, diving off the top of the fridge...
"... then how are we supposed to hit women?" he exclaims, zipping into Bao's bedroom, closing it and locking it quickly.
And then he was going to jump -up-, trying to maintain purchase atop the doorframe. True, he couldn't hold on long, but if Momoko followed true to form...
Momoko swings with the freezer door suddenly as Bao pushes it open, squealing and kicking as it swings wide. This is an effective enough distraction that it leaves Bao plenty of time to escape from the refridgerator, as Momoko is far too busy trying to stop herself from falling off! "Eeeeeee!!!" The freezer door finally comes to a stop, bumping Momoko's butt against the sink drawers and leaving her with her feet dangling about a foot or so off the ground.
It takes her a few moments to get enough wits about her to jump down and close the freezer door, and by this time Bao is gone. Momoko, still furious, chases him out of the kitchen as hard as she can go - all the way across the living room. Only to have the bedroom door slammed in her face! "Ugh!" She bumps face first into the door with a thud, and then stomps her right foot in anger.
"...Anywhere but the boobs! UGH! ... Stupid!" Like the child she is, she puffs her cheeks out at finally having been thwarted. No matter how upset she might be, she's not about to destroy the door. "...Fine!" She says, storming off... and then it goes dangerously quiet outside... perhaps Bao should be worried...? Or perhaps he should be glad...? It's debtable at this point...
After enough of a pause, listening, Bao leaps down, tap-tap. The door didn't have a keyhole, so Bao does a quick check -underneath the door slot to see if there was anyone down there.
Finding no signs of anything, Bao turns the lock as quietly as he could, and then slowly peeks between the slot of the partly opened door...
...And through that crack in door, Bao might see an empty room. Well, there's furniture there... almost exactly where they left it... but there are two subtle changes. One: his video game machine is suspiciously -missing- and two: so is Momoko. The living room is utterly silent, but it is visibly apparent she has done... or is in the process of doing... -something- to his precious game console. But what could that scheming female be intending to do with it and just -where- is she??
Wait, she didn't...
Eyes widening, Bao throws the door open, darting back out into the living room in a panic. Where did the gaming machine go...?
Darting towards the spot where the console had been, Bao looks over. Wires... gone? Games gone too?
There had to be... wait.
Moving one room over, Bao quickly checks Momoko's door. Is she in there? Door openable...?
...All remains quiet even as Bao rushes out into the living room to check on his console. No surprise attacks, no voices, no nothing. Just the defeaning silence of an empty living room and the vision of an empty space beneath the TV where his console used to be. Bao's rushing to Momoko's door is, also, unimpeded... and the door freely opens to him... it's not locked. In fact, should he push it, it will swing wide... revealing a white room with royal blue carpeting and bed dressed much like his own. With an unattended game console sitting on it...
...But, should Bao look toward his far right... he would see Momoko sitting there on the dresser waiting to pounce on him. If he fails to look around first, and attempts to rush the console, he would find that is -exactly- what happens... Momoko will leap at him and attempt to pin him from a flying tackle!
Unfortunately for Bao, caution is not on his young mind, as he's -very- much at that age where his first impression is the one to go through...
Namely, in this case, 'CONSOLE'!
And so he darts forward into the room...
"IIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!"
... and gets flying-tackled, from the side.
There couldn't be -that- much room, but Momoko's pin had to be done quite skillfully to prevent the two of them from crashing, likely...
"Let goooo!" Bao exclaims, already trying to find a way to squirm free, as hands come up, and then... quickly withdraw before they make -contact-.
They did most certainly crash, both of them in fact winded up crashing against the bed but Momoko was quick to try and restrain Bao. First by the shoulders but then, as those hands come up, she'd attempt to restrain his hands. It's not an impossible proposition for Bao to escape, at this point, but it would be hard... as Momoko is literally sitting astride him ontop of the bed with her body weight baring down on him. "Stop ... struggling ... Bao!", she cries out in broken up words as she tries her best to fully restrain the wriggling boy. If she could just get his hands, and pin them to the mattress...!
"No more listening to Kensou! He's bad, very bad! And..." ...and, this is an awkward position to be in... it dawns on her suddenly.
Bright eyes peer up at Momoko. "Iie... if he's so bad, shouldn't you be telling him that instead?" Bao replies, wrinkling his nose as he looks back up towards the slightly older girl.
At the least he's stopped struggling, but the boy's voice cracks slightly as he asks. "Ok, Jiejie. Can you get off me? You're heavy."
"..." Momoko stares down at him quietly through her brown curls, which by now some of them have come loose, and listens to his replies with mild irritation still in her soft features. But, after a few moments, she does get off of him... turning to sit on the bed and then scoot away from him before replying, "...Yeah, go.", whilst staring off toward a far wall quietly. She doesn't seem anywhere near as energetic as she was a while ago. Though, at least she's not actively trying to hit him anymore.
It takes a little bit before she says or does anything else, giving him time to possibly get his console and get up, but then she looks at him again... wherever he's gotten to... adding finally, "...If you ever do that again, I'll make you eat my meatbuns!!! And I'll add extra dish soap this time, I swear!!" And then she blows her cheeks out again, making it plain trying to argue any further with her on that issue will likely get him nowhere!
