To Become a Shinobi Ch. 29
By Eliad Sholomovich

Both combatents circled eachother, Adon smiled broadly while Ibuki was impassive and deep in thought of ways to beat Adon.

Adon lunged forward, He sent his foot towards Ibuki's chest. Ibuki swatted his kick and stepped forward while slamming her fist into Adon's abdomen. Adon absorbed the strike and as Ibuki tried to attack again he leapt into the air before she managed to strike, then he shouted "Rising Jaguar".

Ibuki was caught off guard by his speed and his knee crashed into her chest,then to her utter surprise he also whipped her head backwards by slamming his other knee into her Chin.

Ibuki was sent flying backwards. She landed on her back 2 feet away. Adon landed and chuckled "Give it up girl, you're no match for the power of Muay Thai...Stay where you belong...In the Kitchen with the other women" He said in a mocking tone.

Ibuki eyes narrowed "Why you Chauvinist Pig...I'll teach you to degrade women and me...Just you wait..." She promised herself as she rose to her feet.

Ibuki lunged forward and sent her foot at Adon. She kicked at his face, But Adon ducked under the attack and kicked at her feet, Ibuki managed to hop over the sweep and placed her foot into Adon's chest with a jarring kick. Adon was pushed backward.

He narrowed his eyes and sneered at her ,then he stepped forward once more.He swung his fist towards Ibuki's nose, She blocked his attack and stepped forward aiming her elbow at Adon's Solar Plexus.

But Adon sidestepped and leapt into the air while shouting "Jaguar kick". He somersaulted forward and in the peak of his somersault he brought his foot crashing upon Ibuki's head.

Ibuki was forced to the ground by the sheer force behind the kick. Adon landed and backed away. He dusted himself arrogantly and chuckled at the sight of Ibuki rising to her feet while shaking her head "Pathetic" He muttered to himself and entered his stance.

"I'd hate to bruise your pretty little fa..." Adon started before he was cut off by Ibuki leapt forward. She palm striked his face. As she landed she thrusted her other palm forward and slammed it into Adon's chest. Adon exhaled as the air was forced out of his lungs.

She then grabbed his arm and threw him over her shoulder.The crowd was surprised and whispering could be heard. Adon crashed into a pillar with a thud. He rose to his feet.

His eyes were narrowed in anger and his teeth were clenched. "You think you can dishonor me in my own home you stupid B*tch...I'll show you the true power of Muay Thai...you shall fail before my might" He thought as he wiped his mouth. "Nice shot little Girl. Enjoy it cause you won't get another one" Adon said in an angry tone.

Ibuki remained impassive "We shall see..." Was all she said at his remark.

Ibuki leapt into the air and somersaulted toward Adon. She managed to pass his guard and stab his face with 2 swift kicks.

As she landed from the attack Adon rammed his knee into her chest, She coughed and then he uppercutted her Chin. Ibuki's head snapped backwards and she took a few steps backwards to regain her balance.

Adon then tried to kick her chest again, But Ibuki leapt into the air and somersaulted backwards, She threw a Kunai and aimed it at his forehead, It connected hilt first. Adon cried in surprise and pain as the metalic hilt hit his forehead.

He held his forehead and tried invain to make his surroundings stop spinning. Ibuki then landed and dashed forward, She kicked his face and then swept his feet.

Adon fell to the ground and shook his head, he rolled aside by instinct thus avoiding a stomp from Ibuki.

He then spun around and swept her feet. But Ibuki placed her hands on the ground and balanced herself, then she did a split with her feet and her foot crashed forcefully onto Adon's head.

He fell to the ground once again and this time rose to his feet quickly in anger, He caught Ibuki's foot as she tried to hit him again, then he placed his foot on Ibuki's chest and spun around quickly, Thus picking Ibuki with him, Then he straightened his foot leg and sent Ibuki crashing upon the ground being dragged on the ground.

She slid on her side, She rose to her feet slowly. And grimaced in pain.Her leg was bleeding from her now torn skin due to being dragged upon the stone surface.

She rearranged her breath and tried walking. Stabs of pain shot up her leg. She ignored the pain and concentrated on fighting.

Adon swung his foot at Ibuki's cheek, Ibuki managed to block the kick and then she punched his face twice with an alteration of her fists, Then sent him flying sideways with a cresent roundhouse.

Adon backed away and but then turned and brought his elbow forward and upwards. Ibuki was surprised by his recovery and fell victim to a Jaguar crunch.Adon brought his elbow downwards slamming it into Ibuki's forehead.

She backed away and Adon slammed a kick to her face then he nailed her head with another Jaguar kick. Ibuki fell to the ground. and rolled backward. She spat a surge of blood and spit and shook her head. "D*mn this leg...Pain's horrible...C'mon gotta pull myself together... I'll make myself proud...I'll beat this a**hole no matter what." She thought and felt her determination and confidence fuel her body to continue and fight the pain.

As she Ibuki to her feet Adon jumped forward and aimed his foot at Ibuki's face. The latter blocked the kick and as Adon landed she tried to punch his face in return, However Adon had recovered from his Jump, he moved aside and then he kneed her abdomen, This move forced her to bend forward. Adon then placed his foot on Ibuki head and propelled himself upwards while somersaulting backwards.

Ibuki was pushed downwards. She managed to bring her hands forward and block her momentum, If she hadn't Her face would have been slammed into the stone surface forcefully.

Adon jumped again aiming his leg at her face, This time Ibuki was ready,She channeled her Chi. "Kazekiri" She shouted and leapt upwards her right foot extended towards The descending Adon fueled by the power of her Chi.

Adon braced himseld as her foot crashed into his forehead.The blow sent him to the ground. He fell on his back with a loud the thud. The crowd was in shock abd gasped as their hero's suffering.Adon rose to his feet, he rubbed his back and smiled. "You're good kid...But you're wounded and I'm gonna make it worse...You'll pay for this you stupid, stubborn kid...No one humiliate Adon" Adon thought and smiled wickedly.

He looked at Ibuki and lunged forward swinging his foot at her in a wide arc. Ibuki clenched her teeth and despite her pain leapt over him, he passed under Ibuki. Ibuki reached for her belt and prepared to turn around and hit him with a Kunai hilt.

But as she landed and turned around Adon wasn't there. She only located him when it was too late. "Oh S***" Ibuki thought as Adon yelled "Jaguar Tooth" and propelled himself towards her from a nearby pillar, He then slammed his foot into her chest with great momentum.

Ibuki was forced backwards by the force of the blow. Adon leapt forward and kicked her again before she could recover, Then he hook punched her and finished his assault by swinging his foot in a roundhouse motion.

However Ibuki recovered in time to duck, She then stepped forward and hit him with three powerful kicks in slashing motions, then she grabbed his hair and rammed a Chi covered fist into his face while shouting "Raida".

Adon felt as if a brick collided with his face and was sent flying backwards. Ibuki stood unsteadily in her stance, exhaustion threatening to consume her. Meanwhile Adon felt a warm flow down his lips and a tingling sensation in his nose. He shook with burning rage his eyes wild and narrowed rage.

Meanwhile Ibuki felt throbbing pain where Adon's powerful attacks hit her. "Come on...I can do this...I gotta to beat him...How can I hope to beat Ryu If I can't beat this bozo" Ibuki thought and forced herself to continue.

Adon was furious. The crowd was now laughing at him calling him no better than Sagat. He gathered his own Chi in his rage "You'll pay for this..." He thought to himself and all he saw was the way he would attack he blocked everything out.

Ibuki approached Adon carefully in her tired state, As she reached the distance of about 5 feet Adon launched upwards.

"Jaguar Revolver" He shouted and brought his feet towards Ibuki's head. Ibuki blocked the kick and exhaled sharply from the pain created by the blow. Adon somersaulted again but this time he jumped to a shorted height.

Ibuki was caught off guard and his Chi covered kick slammed into her chest. He then did another Jaguar kick and Ibuki fell and rose to lean on one knee.

Adon was tired but satisfied "This ends now" He stated and rushed forward gathering his Chi for the Jaguar Assasian move. Ibuki smiled to herself "You are so right... She thought at his remark.

As Adon reached a distance of 3 feet from Ibuki she rose to her feet and in great speed swung her fist towards his Chest. Adon Went wide-eyed in surprise "What?How?" He blurted. Ibuki shouted "Yoroi Doushi".

Adon fell victim to a Huge burst of Chi that surrounded Ibuki's fist. The attack collided forcefully into his abdomen, He cried in pain as the Chi scorched his skin and sent him flying backward. He slammed into a nearby pillar. He slumped to the ground unconcious.

The crowd cheered and Ibuki smiled rose to her feet. She was dizzy and tired. She shook her head and walked up to a nearby pillar, then she sat down while leaning on the pillar. She rubbed her aching leg and took a towel from her bag. She carefully wiped the blood and grimaced, then she took out a bottle of water she kept in her bag, She drank half of it and sighed. Then she slowly cleaned her wounds.

Chunli was looking from the crowd Amazing...She's outstanding for a fighter for her age...She took alot of damage...She's alot tougher than she looks...Well I won't fall for her trick if we fight...Now I'm positive she's lying...She maybe very good...But It seems inconcievable she'd actually reach Ryu when Ken others are in the tournament...I'll find out what she's really planning..." Chunli thought and slipped quietly away from the crowd. that was now leaving.

Ibuki rose to her feet and breathed heavily, She then limped over to Adon and shook his shoulders. He stirred a few moments later. He saw her and clenched his teeth. "what so you want? You've destroyed my honor? To be beaten by a women...a child...My career is over...What more can you want?" He asked venemously.

Ibuki sighed "I'm sorry Adon, I didn't mean to destroy your reputation, You are truly a remarkable fighter..." She said and Adon sneered and turned his gaze "Go away women...I don't need your sympathy.

Ibuki rose "Just tell me where Sagat is..." She said in disgust at Chauvanistic and arrogant behavior. Adon nodded and sneered "Be here in 2 days...He'll be back from the hospital then..." He said and left.

Ibuki raised a brow "Hospital? What happened? Did Ryu beat him that badly? I gotta find out...I'll just rest and enjoy myself for now I guess..." Ibuki thought.

She took her bag and limped towards a nearby road. She found a taxi and told him to take her back to the hotel. Meanwhile Chunli was watching the scene in great interest "How odd? I must know more...I'll keep following her for now... I got the time...Good thing our agents are in standby...Our taxi has picked her up again...Time to get back..." She thought and entered her Taxi and told the agent to take her through the shortcut to the hotel.
