[Episode 128218] [Episode 128218]Julia went into a ready stance which Geese's eyes recognized as a combination of Kempo and Jujitsu. Seems she was going to start off simply.
Geese smirked as he assumed his own fighting stance. He was certain Julia knew what to expect from it, but he didn't care. Even if someone knew his moves just as he himself did it was such a solid style of fighting, and his superior fighting abilities definitely helped, that he could defeat his opponents.
Julia frowned and started to close in. She knew if she didn't start this, then Geese would, and with something fearsome. Testing the waters first, Julia sprang into action, the muscles in her left leg tensing.
Geese narrowed his eyes, but didn't react just yet. Julia was very good at feinting and he would wait till the last possible moment to make his move.
And he was right. However, it WAS her left leg she moved. Instead of being a low kick like he would've expected, the attack was coming in as a high roundhouse!
Geese reacted as he usually did when fighting, violently. He instantly caught Julia's leg, though the kick did have enough strength behind it to heavily bruise his arm, and delivered two kicks as he held onto it. The first one hit Julia's right leg just bellow the knee, making it so the woman started to fall. The second, and more vicious, caught Julia directly in the crotch just as she was falling.
Julia grunted and actually threw herself into the fall. Yes, this hurt like hell, but it gave her an opening that most people would not expect, since most would consider it stupid. "But then we Giants aren't know for our intellect," She thought.
As the woman thrust forward to the ground, she smashed her forehead down onto Geese's foot with a great deal of strength.
Geese grimaced in pain, caught completely off-guard by that reckless move, but still held onto Julia's leg. The woman was in a very precarious position, with Geese holding her up by her left leg. He pulled on it hard and stomped on Julia's other foot, making her do the splits and then pulling even more.
Julia roared in pain. Now THAT hurt! Still, she wasn't going to give up. Placing her hands on the ground, Julia firmly planted them down and held on with all her might as she pulled her legs back, actually throwing Geese into the air.
The lord of South Town rolled with the fall and smirked as he recovered his feet. That initial encounter was definitely on his field. Julia had to learn never to attack him half-cocked like that.
Staying in her hand-standing position for a moment more, Julia got back onto her feet with some obvious difficulty. The fight had just started and already it was painfully obvious she'd have a hard time walking.
Geese's smirk widened as he taunted Julia. It would do the bitch right to be the one that lost it in a fight, after her speech of minutes prior. "Was I too rough with you? Don't worry, the women that go out with me barely ever feel from their waists down."
Julia's eye twitched. She remained cool, but she was definitely making a mental note to hit Geese in the dick at some point in this fight. He'd hit her in the crotch, it would only be fair.
Getting into a ready stance, Julia ignored the pain that her legs were telling her and rushed forward at high speeds.
Geese waited patiently in his stance.
In mid-run, Julia seemed to crouch down and then lunge at him like a wildcat ready to pounce.
The blond man jumped forward as well, in an attempt to meet Julia in the air and land powerful palm strikes.
This resulted in a head-on collision that caused both to see stars as they fell to the ground. Okay, maybe that WASN'T a good idea.
Geese grit his teeth in pain. God! That woman's head was hard!
No wonder it was a favored weapon!
Julia stumbled to her feet as she got up, rubbing the bleeding gash on her forehead she had received from Geese's teeth.
Geese slowly stood up, his mouth bleeding profusely and miraculously not having lost any teeth. "No more jumping?"
"...Agreed," Julia said as she got back into her Kempo stance.
This time it was Geese that started on the offensive. He threw a powerful combination of palm strikes, aiming at vital points.
When she saw Geese was ready again and lunging towards her, Julia held up her arms, blocking hit after hit in pain, before dashing back and lunging forward, her right hand cocked back to prepare an overhead strike.
Geese reflexively went into an atemi stance.
Julia grit her teeth as she felt Geese catch her punch. "Oh fuck." This was going to hurt.
The blond man pulled on the punch and used Julia's already forward momentum to make the blow even more destructive. He landed a knee to Julia's gut that made the air explode from her lungs. Just as Julia fell to her knees Geese threw an elbow to the back of her neck and stopped less than an inch from impacting.
That caught Julia by surprise. She felt the rush of wind from the hit. "You held... Back?"
Geese chuckled. "Hardly. The fight has just started, though." He then kicked Julia across the face. He did hold back on that strike, which would've knocked Julia out at the very least, but it was to get more out of this sparring session.
That and a nagging feeling in the back of his head that didn't allow him to do permanent damage. Not to Julia.
Julia spit blood as she was on her hands and knees. "Okay... Holding back on permanent blows... Not savage ones." She did a backwards kick, the heel of her right foot going up and hitting Geese between the legs and landing in a particularly painful spot.
Geese's eyes widened at that particular blow as his knees buckled. He let himself drop forward, on top of Julia, to wrestle with her on the ground. She would pay for that.
Julia growled as she felt Geese atop of her. "Damn it! Get off!" She was trying to push the man off of her back.
The lord of South Town was a little bit stronger than Julia, even with her heritage, and managed to pin Julia down as he took a hold of her arms and caught them in a painful lock behind her. He used his weight to make sure Julia wouldn't escape and smirked. He had her. "And all this without the techniques you hate so much..." He said in her ear, accidentally blowing his hot breath against it.
Julia moved her head slowly to the right, moving it away from Geese's...
...And then swung it left, hitting him in the side of the head with her own.
It was enough to send Geese rolling...
...Too bad he'd yet to let go.
Julia cursed as she felt herself and Geese go rolling downhill, hitting trees and rolling through all sorts of plant life.
"You stubborn bitch!" Geese bellowed. "Learn when to call it quits!"
"Never! I'm too stubborn!" Julia said proudly as the two came to a crashing stop in a large patch of five-leaved plants that were tipped with red dots.
Geese groaned a little, the breath knocked out of him, and opened his eyes. "Of shit..." He knew the plant they were covered in.
"...Oh shit?" Julia repeated.
Geese glared at her. "Tell me, oh wilderness mistress, do you recognize this?" He pointedly took a leave and placed it in front of Julia's face.
Julia stared at the leaf and her eyes widened. "...Oh shit..." She said earnestly.
"Stubborn bitch," Geese grumbled and stood up.
Julia frowned and went to stand up...
...Only to fall back down as she let out a yelp of pain.
Geese, who was already making his way back uphill, stopped when he heard that. He turned to give Julia a very annoyed look.
Julia grit her teeth and tried to force herself back onto her feet, and found herself falling back down with each try.
"Don't tell me..." Geese started and turned to glare at the skies, sure that God was laughing at him from up there.
Julia slowly nodded her head. "... My legs did take a pretty bad beating. And that fall didn't help either.”
The blond man was very tempted to leave Julia to her own devices, it was her fault they fell in the first place, but he didn't. Instead he walked back to the redhead and picked her up in his arms.
Julia blushed a bit because of the action. "...Thank you..."
Geese grumbled something unintelligible and walked uphill and to the river. He placed Julia gently down. "Wait here."
Julia blinked her eyes as she watched Geese walk off.
Two minutes later Geese returned holding bathing supplies and dropped them next to Julia. "Strip."
Julia blinked her eyes. "Excuse me?"
"Do you want to make it worse than it already is?" Geese asked irritably. "You can't stand by yourself and we need to wash up."
Blushing furiously, Julia grumbled and did as Geese commanded, stripping out of her gi.
When Julia was done she turned to see Geese's training uniform drop next to her.
Julia blinked her eyes once, twice, thrice. She immediately averted her eyes from the man.
It was obvious Geese had no nudity taboo. And he found her quite attractive.
Especially the way his manhood was...
"Don't look, don't look, don't look, DON'T LOOK!" Was Julia's mental mantra.
Geese walked over to her and picked her up, then slowly walked into the freezing waters of the river.
Julia shivered at the cold contact. "You know we DO have calamine lotion. I packed some."
"This way I got to see you're a true redhead," Geese said with an irritating smirk and allowed Julia down. He then reached for the soap.
Julia grumbled. This was going to be a long two day trip.
