A/N: This is for the small, but vocal Ibuki simps.
"So, you need me to train you?"
"Yes. As much as I hate you, I can't deny your fighting ability."
"What do I get out of this?"
"Y-You can make me do anything you want."
"Interesting." I said, getting closer to her face.
"Not anything lewd, you idiot!"
"I know, I won't do anything. Yet."
She threw a quick kick to my head, which I dodged.
"Anyway, how am I supposed to know this isn't a plan by Ryuuen?"
"If it was, I would've been much nicer than right now." Really? I could never imagine Ibuki being nice. Just the thought of it got me confused.
I sighed.
"Okay, let's start today then."
"Uh, Okay."
"First, let's have a quick spar, to test your abilities."
Ibuki got in her position, before closing in on me.
She gave a quick kick to my head, and I ducked. She was really vulnerable right now, but I wont end the fight so I can analyze her style.
The kicks continued, some to my abdomen, and some to my feet. Her kicks were scary, but her punches were like a middle schooler's. She had no technique anywhere else, and relied on her legs to win the fight.
After the 27th kick to my head, I duck and punch her in the gut, making her spit out blood.
She collapsed to the ground, clearly hurt.
I reached out my hand.
"Your kicks are strong, but your punches need some work."
She wiped off the blood from her mouth, and grabbed my hand reluctantly.
"Well? How do I improve them?"
"Let's start with your form. Your punches have way too wide of an arc, making it easy to dodge. Try just throwing your fist straight forward instead of a hook motion."
Ibuki then copies what I said, and throws a quick jab.
"There you go. Now do that 20 times."
Her form was getting better, but we had a lot more to go.
With the right training, she could be better than Ryuuen.
This might be fun.
Timeskip
Over the past few weeks, Ibuki had become very good. To the point where her punches were almost impossible to dodge, if it wasn't me, the other person would be dead.
I was going to teach her throws today, but she didn't come out here today. Weird.
I looked around the school, not finding her anywhere. Then I peeked outside. She was having a confrontation with Ryuuen.
"You can't just do whatever you want! This puts the class at major risk!"
"I'll do what I want. I don't need lecturing from the likes of you."
"Grr....."
"Does the doggy need some punishment?" Ryuuen lifted up his hand, acting as if he were about to strike her.
I felt myself leap towards the two.
This feeling.
The feeling to protect someone.
I hadn't felt this before.
I grabbed Ryuuen's arm.
"That's enough, Ryuuen."
"Oh?"
"Ayanokouji?"
"I didn't think you had a boyfriend, Ibuki."
"Shut up!"
I sighed. "This is over. Now if you'll excuse us, we'll be going."
Ryuuen looked conflicted as we walked away.
"Why'd you do that?"
I couldn't think of a reason either. Maybe it was because I had started to think of her as a friend.
"I just wanted to help a friend." Her eyes widened as she looked at me.
"Friend?"
"Yes. Do you not like that?"
"No, it's not that.. it's just....."
"Hm?"
"I've never had a true friend before." She looked down, seemingly crying.
I decide to go for something risky, and I hug her.
"Well then I'll be your first."
"Huh?" She said, looking up at me.
I ruffle her cerulean hair a little bit, and look into her violet eyes.
"I will be your first friend, Ibuki."
She started to cry in my chest, in the middle of the hallway. It was just us, Ibuki opening up to me, and me comforting her.
After she was done crying, she met my eyes again. We stood there, looking at each other.
She looked conflicted on what to do, and so was I.
This was a pretty perfect time to kiss her.
Let me slow down, she just got comfortable with me being her friend.
I shouldn't be thinking of that.
"Hey....."
I look over.
"Do you wanna, I don't know, hang out maybe?"
"Sure. If you don't mind my company, that is."
"You should be able to tell I don't mind by now."
I chuckled.
"Alright, Ibuki."
"Call me Mio."
"Then you can call me Kiyotaka. Is that fine with you, Mio?"
"Y-Yes, it's fine Kiyotaka."
"Then let's go."
We walked to my dorm, certifying our friendship.
Timeskip
It's been 3 weeks since that whole situation, and me and Ibuki have gotten closer, and so has the gap between her and Ryuuen.
Her punches have become faster and more precise, and she was able to combine it with her main kicking style to give her an advantage over almost any opponent.
Besides her training, our friendship had grown. We would go out to movies sometimes, and Ibuki would talk about each one for the next hour. I couldn't lie, it was very cute.
"Kiyotaka, you good?" Ibuki said, bringing me out of my thoughts.
"Yeah, just thinking about something."
"You were looking at me for a while. Were you thinking of something lewd?" Ibuki said in a teasing manner. This was a side that not many people saw, and I was the only one who will see this.
I would make sure of it.
"Maybe."
"You perv!"
"I'm just joking." We started to laugh.
Wait.
Laugh?
I've never done that before.
"Mio..."
"Hm?" She responded, still recovering from her laughing session.
"You're the first person to make me laugh."
"Really?" She suddenly got interested.
"Yes. So will you take responsibility?"
"For what?"
"For being the first person to make me feel emotion. You're more important to me than ever."
"Than ever? Since when have I been important to you?"
"Ever since the training, or maybe even before that."
It was true. Ibuki was an interesting character before this friendship started, and was a huge piece to Ryuuen's arsenal.
"W-Wow.... I never knew you thought of me that way."
"Do you feel the same way?"
"H-Huh?!"
"Am I at least, somewhat important to you?"
"Y-Yes, in fact, your more important than a friend could ever be."
"Oh?"
"Kiyotaka...."
"Yes?"
"W-Would you, be my boyfriend?"
Taking her into a tight embrace, I kiss her on the lips.
"Yes, Mio."
We sat there, embracing each other as the sun fell.
