Chapter 100 - Running As Though Your Life Depended On It (2/2)

While Laz was bracing himself, Kat just took a few causal steps around. Even with Laz's senses locked firmly on her, he didn't see Kat's movement. Before he could react, she had moved inside his guard and jammed her first into his stomach. Arching forward, his body couldn't help but be blown backwards, sending him back almost 20 feet in the air before he hit the ground and started to roll. When he finally stopped himself, he felt like his entire abdomen was on fire from the hit. Although it hurt, it wasn't deep enough to leave internal injuries. In fact, when he turned his sense inward on himself to see if there were any, he felt a unique sensation.

His energy, which had been spiraling out of control, seemed to shake with the hit. And like loose pebbles and sand in a jar, it started to combine together and almost seemed to shrink slightly. Although the energy was still just as intense as before, it seemed like it had slightly come together.

Standing up, Laz couldn't help but feel amazed at this strange sensation, but he didn't have time to examine it too closely as there was still a rather pissed woman coming at him again. This time, he took the initiative and struck out, aiming a hit at he midsection. Twisting her body like a snake, Kat avoided the blow and landed a kick on the upper portion of Laz's back, sending him airborne yet again.

As his rolling came to a stop, he noticed that once again, the energy had settled more, albeit, only slightly. He didn't know why, but he felt like this was a good thing, a thing that needed to happen. As such, he no longer hesitated and continued to charge at Kat, only to be knocked away by her again.

Over and over again, he charged at her.

And over and over again, he was tossed around like a rag doll.

Until finally, Laz tried copying a move he had remember the MMA fighter did. He went in with a hit towards her face, making her drop back slightly while she punched forward. He then followed up with a punch right towards her slim and succulent waist, connecting with it directly. Although he had been going all out with his body, he didn't use an ounce of energy while doing so. He was afraid of hurting her since he couldn't control it too well and she wasn't an enemy. As such, although she could respond quickly to the attacks that she saw, she wasn't able to lock on to those that she didn't see.

Thanks to his quick reaction and deception, he caught her off guard and his fist landed squarely on her stomach, but the expected result never occurred. Instead, he felt like he had hit an iron statue. His fist, supported by all of his strength, barely moved her back a foot.

”What?” Laz could only voice that one thought.

”MMM, kind of tickles. I thought you would hit harder than that.” Kat voiced her thoughts and she recovered quickly. Before Laz could ask any actual questions, she flew right in under his guard and sent him flying once again.

Back and forth they traded blows, again and again. Laz would lose 99 out of 100 times, but he did occasionally manage to land a few hits on his sexy abuser. The entire time, his energy become more and more compressed within him.

The run had started out before noon, but now it was already getting dark. No matter how many times Laz got hit, he still managed to stand, much to Kat's surprise. After one especially intense clash, Kat heel managed to hit Laz cheek and sent him spinning. Kat, thoroughly exhausted, couldn't help but collapse and lay on the cold, hard ground. Laz, seeing her fall over weakly, finally gave into his own tiredness and barely managed to stay upright long enough to end up next to her before finally collapsing on the ground.

As they both lay there taking heavy breaths, steam started rising out of the ground where there bodies made contact, not to even mention the amount of steam they were giving off into the air. If one didn't know any better, they would think the area around them had turned into a sauna.

”Can you, huff huff, even have sex? Huff huff, wouldn't it be, huff huff, like having sex with a rock?” Laz finally managed to get out between his strained breathing.

”If I, huff huff, had any strength left, huff huff, I would definitely, huff huff, let you find out, huff huff, how having sex with a, huff huff, rock would feel like,” Kat shot back.

”That an offer? huff huff.”

”No. I would, huff huff, smash your balls, huff huff, with a rock.”

Both remained silent for the next few breaths before suddenly turning towards one another. Laying on the ground, they looked each other in the eyes for several seconds before both broke into crazy laughter.

When Laz had finally gained back enough energy, he slowly dragged his body up right before sliding over to Kat. Kat, just watched him but didn't move. When he got so close that he could touch her, he reached out his hand and helped her up.

Leaning against one another, they slowly made their way back down the trail in the direction of the dojo.
