Satoru Kido vs. Songbird

Songbird would throw a punch at Kido, but the guy managed to jump back to dodge it. She would be confused again though as Kido stared at her for a while. She then asked, "What?" And the response was a jumping right punch to her face before a following left. "GAH! ARGH!" Songbird staggered back and covered her face to try and relieve the pain.

Both hits felt awkward, but Kido had no time for hesitation anymore. He'd follow his attack with a couple of right kicks at her right leg to weakened her balance. If she did then he'd kick her stomach. It seemed Songbird's words made him fired up a bit. His expression now looked a bit fiercer than before, and he seemed to be very focused.

While Songbird was trying to recover from the punches, Kido went on ahead to kick her twice on the right leg. She would grunt and cringe in pain as she was getting a bit imbalanced. Then seeing the guy going for a kick to the stomach, she would try to use her arms to defend her stomach, but it would obviously send her flying several inches away from Kido. "NNGH!" Songbird cried out as she held her arms and leg in pain as she struggled to get back up.

The kick only hit Songbird's arm but she flew away a couple of inches away as a result while grimacing in pain. Kido chased after her right away, and grabbed her right shoulder. He'd throw her towards the ropes, and when she bounced back, he'd try to knock her down with a punch.

As Songbird was trying to get back on her feet, Kido suddenly rushed in to grab her right shoulder. She was instantly lifted up and thrown over to the ropes, but Songbird was no dummy to know what to do in this situation. As she bounced back, she would do a one cartwheel before attempting a backflip over Kido and leading up to a kick in the back.

As Songbird bounced back towards him, Kido drew his fist to prepare for the punch. Suddenly she did a cartwheel and with an amazing reflex, followed up with a backflip over him.

"Wha..?" Kido stared blankly as she rolled in the air past him.

As soon as she landed, Songbird immediately kicked him in the back. He was still too amazed by her agility that he didn't noticed the kick until he was too late. This time her attack fully connected with his body, sending him flying a couple of feet away.

"G-gahh..!!" he grunted as he flew away before falling to the mat. "O-oww, shee-ittt..."

Holding his sore back, Kido would try to get back on his feet as soon as possible before another attack coming.

Songbird's little aerial before attack had worked perfectly and now the favor was back to her. Despite Kido being on the mat at the moment, she was still impressed at how strong, fast, and even skilled he was in his fighting and wondered what else he's got. So she would walk over to Kido and try to kick him in the stomach to try and intimidate his manlihood.

Kido was still trying to get up as he glanced over his back to see Songbird was heading on his way. It didn't look like she's in a rush, which gave him the time he needed to recover to dodge her kick just in time by jumping aside. He moved away from her rather slowly due to the pain in his back.The boy started to pant and more sweats flowing from his head. It seemed that fatigue had started to catch with him. Still, his dry expression remained on his face.

"Hahh... the pain in the back... surely bring back memories..." he began to speak in a rather low voice to no one in particular while he panted. "It felt different than the wardens' sticks, but still..."

The boy finally managed to overcome his pain for the time being and get into stance again, preparing for her next move.

As Songbird came closer to Kido, she suddenly stopped in surprise at hearing the guy talking of his memories being hit like this. "Did you say 'wardens'? As in you got arrested before?" She would keep her distance as Kido managed to back away and get up quickly to get in his fighting stance. Songbird would do the same and made sure she watched herself out there.

"Huh?" was all he said as Kido looked at Songbird with his plain expression.

He didn't think she'd hear that. Not that it really matters. His past wasn't something he's really proud of, but it's all water under the bridge now. While keeping his distance, he'd stared at her for a second before he continued his talk.

"Oh, yeah, was in juvie during high school. About 6 months," he said. "You might say, only 6 months. But when you live it yourself, well..." He gazed away with a rather grim expression. "Whatever, it's best not to be remembered."

His expression became slightly more serious, but he still didn't take the initiative to attack, as if he's buying some more time to recover from the last hit while watching her movements.
