Rivals - The New Girl Concluded (part 1 of 2) written by Jeri
"It's been two weeks," Tori said, "and I still haven't gotten a good belly beating!"
Crissy and Amber looked at each other, and Amber turned back to Tori and said, "well, we'll see what we can do about that today..."
Tori and Amber had arrived at Crissy's dorm room at about the same time, just after noon. Tori didn't watch the Saturday morning cartoons with Crissy, as she had made other plans.
during the week, Tori had brought over a box of new tapes and a double VCR that allowed her to tape two different programs at the same time. She was going to use the VCR to capture her cartoons from Crissy's campus cable system, and then watch them back at her home. That way, it would not interfere with anything Crissy had planned on Saturday mornings.
Tori had amazed Crissy by the rapidity with which she connected the VCR. She even made the cables to connect the VCR to Crissy's campus cable system on the spot from bare cable and connectors. Tori said she had had to learn to do this, because several of the military bases her father was stationed at had little, if any, wiring inside the house. She had to install the cables for their TV sets, sometimes even stringing them into the house from an outside pole.
Tori also impressed Crissy when it came to programming the VCR. Tori was able to glance at the schedule of shows she wanted to tape, and then program the shows into the VCR very fast. Crissy usually had to follow the VCR's manual step by step to program her VCR. When she was done, Tori had put a set of tapes in the VCR and left it to record her favorite shows, promising to pick the tapes up later.
Tori was eager to start their stomach punching session, more eager than either Crissy or Amber had been in a long time. They had been using their sessions as training, so they were concentrating more on the technical aspects of the sessions. Tori was acting the same way they used to, like a wild, excited kid. In fact, from what they knew of Tori, the term "wild" seemed to apply to her most aptly.
when Tori was fighting in a kickboxing match, she was all seriousness. her actions, while they appeared random and impulsive, were actually well thought out. she had a strategy, though she was very flexible in following it, changing the strategy to gain any tactical advantage when she saw an opening. outside of the matches, she was much less reserved. she was the type to act on impulse, sometimes without apparent thought of the consequences. the fact that her impulsive decisions were almost always right indicated that she really had thought them out, even if only at a subconscious level.
so naturally, it was Tori who was the most eager to start their stomach punching session today.
they all stripped to just their bras, into their "fighting uniforms" as they called them. Amber went to get the gym bag from the closet, now much heavier with Tori's father's weapons, but Tori told her not to. she wanted them to just use their punches and kicks this time. Crissy asked her what kind of contest she wanted, and Tori said to go all out.
Crissy made the rules. each of them would take turns standing against the wall with their eyes closed and receiving blows anywhere in their stomach from the other two alternately, until the person receiving them said to stop or fell to the floor. the next person would then go to the wall. the new person would then try to take the same number of blows or more. if they couldn't, they would be eliminated and the remaining two would continue, though the person who had been eliminated would still be able to deliver blows to the others without having to receive them. this would continue until one person could not take the same number of blows as the other had previously taken. the one remaining was the winner.
they drew slips of paper, and the order was going to be Tori, Amber and then Crissy.
Tori went to the wall and flexed all her stomach muscles hard. she then closed her eyes to accept the blows. the first punch was to her lower stomach. the punch was very hard, but didn't really penetrate her muscles too much. the second blow was to the same place, and penetrated a little bit more, though not enough to do more than cause her to grunt a little and jerk forward. she couldn't identify who had had thrown which punch, as they felt identical. she then said to stop and opened her eyes, to see Crissy and Amber looking at her a little surprised. however, she had planned on only taking a couple blows now, while the others were fresh.
Amber then went to the wall and closed her eyes. immediately, someone hit her hard in the side of the stomach. she really felt that, as that was one of her few weak points. she grunted and doubled over from the pain of the impact. she had just straightened up, when a second punch hit her in the other side of the stomach, much harder than the first one. that must have been Tori who hit her. she bent over, groaning from the pain, and almost went to her knees. Amber said to stop. Amber left the wall for Crissy, still bent over a little from that last punch.
Crissy went to the wall next. she was punched a little weakly in the middle of her stomach. that must have been Amber. she then received a hard punch to the same place from Tori. the blow penetrated deep into her muscles, causing a shock of pain. she almost dropped to her knees, but caught herself just in time. she was still in pain as she straightened up against the wall again. she got the next blow to her solar plexus, which did not hurt as much as the previous blow, and didn't penetrate her muscles. she was able to relax a little from the previous blow. that was three punches, with Tori due up next. she thought about it a little, and decided to keep going. Tori hit her again deep in the middle of her stomach. the punch was harder than Tori's first one to the same spot. it also hurt a lot more. Crissy almost fell to the floor from the pain, but was able to stagger upright after a little while and go back to the wall. Crissy really wanted to go a couple more punches, to set a higher mark for the others. she thought she could take another blow from Amber, but wasn't sure about Tori. Amber punched her in her tender middle stomach again, but either she was getting used to being punched there or that area was getting numb. the blow affected her, but not as much as the others to that area had. knowing Tori was up next, she said to stop.
Amber was eliminated in the next round. Crissy and Tori went a few more rounds. the contest finally ended when Tori was able to take 11 blows to her stomach, whereas Crissy could only take nine before crumpling to the floor on the tenth from Tori.
both Crissy and Amber were exhausted from the exercise, but Tori still seemed fresh. Amber asked Tori if she had gotten the beating she had asked for earlier. but to both Crissy and Amber's surprise, Tori said she hadn't. she said the contest was too structured and organized. she said she really wanted to find out what it felt like to be beaten in the stomach by them.
Crissy pulled Amber aside, and talked with her in a low voice. Amber then grabbed Tori from behind, held her by the arms and lifted her, supporting her to expose her stretched stomach. Tori knew exactly what they had in mind.
Crissy punched Tori in the upper stomach, then in the middle, then in the lower stomach. because Tori was being held firmly by Amber, she couldn't double over. Tori had absorbed the same blows from Crissy earlier, but then she had been able to recover between the blows. now, Crissy was punching her stomach all over with her hardest blows, as fast as she could throw them, and Amber was acting as a backstop.
Tori was able to take the first few blows without much effort. but her stomach muscles were already starting to tire. she started to feel the blows, as Crissy kept up the onslaught. after over 20 blows, her stomach muscles started to weaken everywhere. the blows started to get through, and she started to feel the pain of Crissy's punches penetrating deep into her.
Crissy knew Tori's muscles were weakening from the feel and sound of her blows. she had been waiting for this to happen. she started to punch Tori continuously in the middle of her stomach with her hardest punches as fast as she could throw them, alternately with a left and a right. she could feel Tori's stomach muscles caving in more and more with each punch. finally, she felt her knuckles hit Tori's backbone. she gave her a few more punches there, penetrating deep to the spine, then traded places with Amber, panting and sweating from the effort.
Tori had known what they had in mind. however, she didn't know that it would hurt so much. her stomach was on fire from the continuous punching it was taking. with Amber holding her off the floor by her arms, she was not able to bend over or even raise her legs to relieve the pain. she was stretched out, her stomach an inviting target for Crissy's punches. each of Crissy's punches was a small explosion of pain. the middle of her stomach started to get numb from the beating it was taking, and the pain of the individual punches started to coalesce into one continuous, constant pain. she started to black out. suddenly, the punching stopped. but the cessation of the blows allowed the pain to peak, and it hit her like a jackhammer in one sudden whoosh. slowly, she came back from a twilight consciousness to full clarity, though this only made her acutely aware of the fires raging in her stomach.
Crissy had told Amber during their consultation that she didn't want to hit Tori so much that she would lapse into unconsciousness. so, she told Amber to hold off a while to let her recover. Crissy finally signaled Amber to resume punching Tori, deep in her lower stomach.
Amber first threw one hard punch to the middle of Tori's stomach where Crissy had been punching her, which caused Tori to convulse at the impact. she was surprised at first by the lack of muscle tone there, but knew why. she then started pistoning left and right punches deep into Tori's lower stomach, all over from her navel to just above the crotch. Tori was jerking and grunting with each blow, but was not able to raise her legs to protect her stomach. Crissy kept her stretched out to expose her stomach as much as possible. after what must have been over forty punches, Crissy told Amber to stop.
Tori was fully conscious and seemed to be starting to recover from Crissy's punches, when Amber punched her in her soft, sensitive, sore middle again. this sent a jolt of pain all over her body. the first few blows to her lower stomach didn't hurt too much, since they were away from the center of the strongest pain. however after a few more punches, the strongest center of the pain suddenly snapped to the new site. further punches added to the pain and it started to build rapidly again. she wasn't crying, but tears were starting to run down her cheeks from the agony she was enduring. just as she was about to pass out again, the punching stopped.
Crissy and Amber again exchanged places. Crissy waited quite a while until she knew Tori had recovered from Amber's attack. when Tori looked like she was fully awake, Crissy started to punch her hard in the solar plexus. because of her weakened condition, these punches went straight through to the nerve plexus itself, and caused Tori to jerk with each blow. Crissy kept hitting Tori there, waiting between blows to make sure she was recovered enough to take the next blow. eventually, Tori, though conscious, was not responding at all to the blows, and Crissy stopped.
Tori was just regaining full consciousness from Amber's attack, when Crissy hit her again, in the solar plexus. this caused an electric explosion of shock throughout her whole body. it did not cause her breathing to freeze like a punch there usually would, as her whole body hurt too much to let her stop breathing. the subsequent blows to the same area, while hurting a lot, did not have as much effect, as the whole of her body was getting numb from the beating her stomach was taking. eventually, the pain of the new blows wasn't strong enough to be distinguished from the overall pain in her body. so, she didn't even notice when Crissy stopped punching her.
Crissy and Amber carried Tori to the bed. they started massaging her stomach muscles, shallowly at first. when they didn't get any reaction to their gentle massaging, even though they knew Tori was conscious, they massaged as deeply as they could. slowly, they saw that Tori was starting to feel the massaging as she was groaning from the pain it caused, and they returned to shallow massaging of her stomach. eventually, they just stopped, as Tori's stomach was getting the feeling back into it, and she was very sensitive to any contact with her stomach at all. she just lay there groaning for over twenty minutes. they let her recover on her own.
Tori had not been aware of anything but the fire and explosions in her stomach ever since the very first 20 or so punches from Amber. she was starting to recover so she was once again aware of her surroundings, but that meant she was feeling the beating her stomach had taken. she had been aware of Crissy and Amber massaging her stomach, though it didn't seem to have helped. she didn't want to move or even breathe, as every movement and breath caused the small explosions to erupt deep inside of her again. eventually, she just laid on the bed taking shallow breaths and trying not to move. after what seemed like an eternity, her stomach pain started to recede. she even started to massage her own stomach, but very gently.
Crissy and Amber sat back down on the edge of the bed as Tori kept massaging her stomach. Crissy said, "well, you said you wanted a good belly beating. was that one good enough for you?"
Tori said, "yes. we'll have to do that again."
Crissy continued, "ok Amber, you grab her arms and I'll..." Tori yelled, "not now!" in her loudest voice. the other two just looked at her, and then laughed.
Tori said that was the worst stomach beating she had taken since the street fight in Tokyo. Surprised Amber said, "now that's the second time you mentioned a street fight! what happened?"
she then told her story, periodically punctuating it with gasps and groans as her stomach reacted spasmodically to the beating she had taken.
Tori was 15 years old. her father had been assigned TDY back to japan for a few months, to re-train the combat soldiers at the u. s. air force base there. this was the third time Tori had been in Japan, as her father had spent a couple years there when she was ten, when her father and mother broke up. she knew her way all around Japan and was able to go anywhere easily. Japan was one of the safest countries to travel, even as a girl alone. usually.
she was walking back from seeing a late movie in the Ginza shopping district. the ginza subway line had stopped running at 11:00, so she had to walk to Tokyo station to catch the jr. rail line to make a connection going back to the base. and since all the stores had closed at 8:00, it was completely deserted. it was early summer. it was a little warm but not so humid as it would be in a few months, so it was good walking weather. because of the warm weather, she was dressed in a narrow tank top that would have shown most of her torso from just under her breasts, except that she had on a light, short, almost transparent shirt. it was buttoned with only one button just under her breasts, so it accentuated them. it hung open enough below that to show a good portion of her flat, highly indented stomach, as the shirt did not extend any lower than her navel. she had on hip-hugging jeans that she wore low on her hips, exposing a large portion of her lower stomach, too.
she was paralleling the elevated tracks, walking toward the station, when she heard a group of people talking loudly in one of the pedestrian tunnels. they came out of the tunnel just ahead of her. it was a group of about eight or nine college age boys from a nearby college. she could tell from the identical uniforms they were all wearing which college they went to, but she did not remember its name. the group saw her and approached her.
Tori was completely conversant in Japanese and Japanese customs. her mother had insisted that she learn the language and customs of her home country. she also could swear like the proverbial Japanese sailor, but learned this from a different source than the schools her mother made her attend. during one of her father's longer assignments at one base, her martial arts instructor was Japanese. outside of the regular classes, he had taught her the street and gutter language and slang of Japan, as he said it would be useful to understand when someone was insulting her and the intent of the insult. Japanese had very few swear words, he said, not like English. the level of insult and intent of the insult was usually expressed using a common phrase, but with a slightly different ending or accentuation. the level of informality or insult was also context sensitive. a phrase that you could hear in polite society may have a vulgar or even obscene meaning in a different, more casual situation. he said that knowing how to interpret the intent of the speaker from these and other verbal and non-verbal clues would be highly useful in a real fight. and knowing how to respond verbally in kind was a good way to make your own intentions known. after her instructor's language lessons, she could swear and insult with the best of them, though her mother and father never knew. this was one of the only secrets she kept from her father. it sometimes proved useful, as often some of the Japanese officers would make an obscure comment about her to each other as she passed by. they would be very surprised when she responded playfully in kind, showing she fully understood the sexual intent of their comment, and what they could do about it. a few times, the comments led to a deeper relationship.
the gang of boys approached her from the front, spreading out a little as they did. Tori would have usually just turned around and walked the other way or even run away from them, as she knew the best way to win a fight was not to get involved in one in the first place. however this time, she couldn't spare the time to go the long way around to Tokyo station. she needed to get to the station fairly soon, as she would miss her connection to the base and would have to wait a couple hours if she wasn't there in the next few minutes. so, she had to just keep walking and hope to get through the gang without an incident.
the lead boy, evidently the gang leader cut in front of her to stop her. as the others spread out in a rough semi-circle in front of her, he said "utsukushiku na. doko e tsumori da?"
Tori responded, "back to the American air base."
Tori was only part Japanese, so except for her short, straight, black hair, she had few Japanese features. she was a little taller than the other Japanese girls. she also had larger breasts than the typical Japanese girl. she stood out in a crowd because of these features. she was always stared at everywhere she went, especially by boys, and she had been approached quit often by them. this was helped, of course, by her style in clothes, which usually showed a lot of her body. she could get away with showing so much since her body was well toned and looked terrific anywhere it was allowed to peak through.
the leader reached out to touch her, but she pushed his hand away. he tried again to grab her arm, this time more forcefully, and she batted his hand away, harder this time. at this, his expression became one of anger, and he reached out with both hands to grab her upper arms to restrain her. she brought up both her arms inside his and pushed his arms away. she would find out later this was the wrong way to react. he was livid with rage. he called out to the other boys to get her, and they closed the circle around her.
Tori was trapped, and she knew it. she immediately went into a defensive stance, and surveyed the boys surrounding her, her head moving continuously. suddenly, the ringleader lunged at her, followed by a couple of the other boys, then the rest of them. she sidestepped the ringleader, hitting him with a knife-edge chop as he passed, that caused him to trip to the ground. she ducked under a punch aimed at her head from the next one and hit him with an uppercut to the solar plexus. spinning around as she stood up, she kicked the next closest target with a spinning kick to the ribs. most of the others were starting to realize they didn't want to be in this fight and were attempting to halt their attack, but their momentum carried them on toward her. she attacked one of them with a front snap kick toward his stomach, which he expertly blocked, but he jumped back out of the circle any way. the rest she attacked with a combination of expert kicks and punches. she seemed to be winning this fight, as she had temporarily disabled all but one of the boys. the one who had blocked her kick was standing back watching the fight with a bemused expression on his face and his arms folded. by the time she had disabled the last of the others, the first ones she had attacked recovered, though the leader was still down. they were now quite wary of her, and tried to attack as a group, all converging on her. she charged one side of the attacking circle so she would have fewer to fight at once. she once again waded into them, throwing a low punch here and a high crescent kick there, until all of them were on the ground again.
the leader called to the one boy standing, "" the boy sighed audibly, and approached her. she went again into her defensive stance and he followed suit. they circled each other warily. he feinted with a crescent kick, and followed up with a back kick to her stomach. she was put off guard by his feint as he had planned, so the kick to her stomach got through. she fell to the ground supporting her by one hand, holding her stomach with the other.
he aimed a low, front snap kick to her exposed head, but she jumped up and executed a crescent kick to his head that connected and drove him back. he had thought she was disabled from the stomach blow, so he was off balance when she jumped out of the way of his kick to her head. it seemed that he wasn't the only one able to do a feint.
Tori had seen his moves and speed, and she wasn't sure she could defeat him. with the other boys, she knew immediately from the way they handled themselves that they had not had any professional training, so she could handle them all at once. this boy had evidently had several years of martial arts training, though she hadn't seen enough of his moves to determine what kind. he also had the advantage that he had seen her fighting and knew her techniques, and she was tired while he was still fresh. they circled each other again. he threw a roundhouse kick to her ribs which she blocked with her forearm, and then snapped the foot back and immediately up to her head. the second kick to her head got through, and she danced back with her head spinning. he followed her and delivered another snap kick to her stomach. this one had less effect than the first one, but it kept her off balance.
as her head cleared, Tori was watching him intently to determine what his next move would be. she had never been in a street fight before, so she didn't know that she was experiencing tunnel vision, concentrating on him too intently, and was not aware of anything else. thus, she didn't see the punch to the side of her jaw coming, from one of the other boys who had recovered. the punch stunned her and distracted her. the boy in front of her used this distraction to throw a high kick to the side and back of her neck, dropping her to the ground and sending her into near unconsciousness.
"It's been two weeks," Tori said, "and I still haven't gotten a good belly beating!"
Crissy and Amber looked at each other, and Amber turned back to Tori and said, "well, we'll see what we can do about that today..."
Tori and Amber had arrived at Crissy's dorm room at about the same time, just after noon. Tori didn't watch the Saturday morning cartoons with Crissy, as she had made other plans.
during the week, Tori had brought over a box of new tapes and a double VCR that allowed her to tape two different programs at the same time.

Crissy and Amber carried Tori to the bed. they started massaging her stomach muscles, shallowly at first. when they didn't get any reaction to their gentle massaging, even though they knew Tori was conscious, they massaged as deeply as they could. slowly, they saw that Tori was starting to feel the massaging as she was groaning from the pain it caused, and they returned to shallow massaging of her stomach. eventually, they just stopped, as Tori's stomach was getting the feeling back into it, and she was very sensitive to any contact with her stomach at all. she just lay there groaning for over twenty minutes. they let her recover on her own.
Tori had not been aware of anything but the fire and explosions in her stomach ever since the very first 20 or so punches from Amber. she was starting to recover so she was once again aware of her surroundings, but that meant she was feeling the beating her stomach had taken. she had been aware of Crissy and Amber massaging her stomach, though it didn't seem to have helped. she didn't want to move or even breathe, as every movement and breath caused the small explosions to erupt deep inside of her again. eventually, she just laid on the bed taking shallow breaths and trying not to move. after what seemed like an eternity, her stomach pain started to recede. she even started to massage her own stomach, but very gently.
Crissy and Amber sat back down on the edge of the bed as Tori kept massaging her stomach. Crissy said, "well, you said you wanted a good belly beating. was that one good enough for you?"
Tori said, "yes. we'll have to do that again."
Crissy continued, "ok Amber, you grab her arms and I'll..." Tori yelled, "not now!" in her loudest voice. the other two just looked at her, and then laughed.
Tori said that was the worst stomach beating she had taken since the street fight in Tokyo. Surprised Amber said, "now that's the second time you mentioned a street fight! what happened?"
she then told her story, periodically punctuating it with gasps and groans as her stomach reacted spasmodically to the beating she had taken.
Tori was 15 years old. her father had been assigned TDY back to japan for a few months, to re-train the combat soldiers at the u. s. air force base there. this was the third time Tori had been in Japan, as her father had spent a couple years there when she was ten, when her father and mother broke up. she knew her way all around Japan and was able to go anywhere easily. Japan was one of the safest countries to travel, even as a girl alone. usually.
she was walking back from seeing a late movie in the Ginza shopping district. the ginza subway line had stopped running at 11:00, so she had to walk to Tokyo station to catch the jr. rail line to make a connection going back to the base. and since all the stores had closed at 8:00, it was completely deserted. it was early summer. it was a little warm but not so humid as it would be in a few months, so it was good walking weather. because of the warm weather, she was dressed in a narrow tank top that would have shown most of her torso from just under her breasts, except that she had on a light, short, almost transparent shirt. it was buttoned with only one button just under her breasts, so it accentuated them. it hung open enough below that to show a good portion of her flat, highly indented stomach, as the shirt did not extend any lower than her navel. she had on hip-hugging jeans that she wore low on her hips, exposing a large portion of her lower stomach, too.
she was paralleling the elevated tracks, walking toward the station, when she heard a group of people talking loudly in one of the pedestrian tunnels. they came out of the tunnel just ahead of her. it was a group of about eight or nine college age boys from a nearby college. she could tell from the identical uniforms they were all wearing which college they went to, but she did not remember its name. the group saw her and approached her.
Tori was completely conversant in Japanese and Japanese customs. her mother had insisted that she learn the language and customs of her home country. she also could swear like the proverbial Japanese sailor, but learned this from a different source than the schools her mother made her attend. during one of her father's longer assignments at one base, her martial arts instructor was Japanese. outside of the regular classes, he had taught her the street and gutter language and slang of Japan, as he said it would be useful to understand when someone was insulting her and the intent of the insult. Japanese had very few swear words, he said, not like English. the level of insult and intent of the insult was usually expressed using a common phrase, but with a slightly different ending or accentuation. the level of informality or insult was also context sensitive. a phrase that you could hear in polite society may have a vulgar or even obscene meaning in a different, more casual situation. he said that knowing how to interpret the intent of the speaker from these and other verbal and non-verbal clues would be highly useful in a real fight. and knowing how to respond verbally in kind was a good way to make your own intentions known. after her instructor's language lessons, she could swear and insult with the best of them, though her mother and father never knew. this was one of the only secrets she kept from her father. it sometimes proved useful, as often some of the Japanese officers would make an obscure comment about her to each other as she passed by. they would be very surprised when she responded playfully in kind, showing she fully understood the sexual intent of their comment, and what they could do about it. a few times, the comments led to a deeper relationship.
the gang of boys approached her from the front, spreading out a little as they did. Tori would have usually just turned around and walked the other way or even run away from them, as she knew the best way to win a fight was not to get involved in one in the first place. however this time, she couldn't spare the time to go the long way around to Tokyo station. she needed to get to the station fairly soon, as she would miss her connection to the base and would have to wait a couple hours if she wasn't there in the next few minutes. so, she had to just keep walking and hope to get through the gang without an incident.
the lead boy, evidently the gang leader cut in front of her to stop her. as the others spread out in a rough semi-circle in front of her, he said "utsukushiku na. doko e tsumori da?"
Tori responded, "back to the American air base."
Tori was only part Japanese, so except for her short, straight, black hair, she had few Japanese features. she was a little taller than the other Japanese girls. she also had larger breasts than the typical Japanese girl. she stood out in a crowd because of these features. she was always stared at everywhere she went, especially by boys, and she had been approached quit often by them. this was helped, of course, by her style in clothes, which usually showed a lot of her body. she could get away with showing so much since her body was well toned and looked terrific anywhere it was allowed to peak through.
the leader reached out to touch her, but she pushed his hand away. he tried again to grab her arm, this time more forcefully, and she batted his hand away, harder this time. at this, his expression became one of anger, and he reached out with both hands to grab her upper arms to restrain her. she brought up both her arms inside his and pushed his arms away. she would find out later this was the wrong way to react. he was livid with rage. he called out to the other boys to get her, and they closed the circle around her.
Tori was trapped, and she knew it. she immediately went into a defensive stance, and surveyed the boys surrounding her, her head moving continuously. suddenly, the ringleader lunged at her, followed by a couple of the other boys, then the rest of them. she sidestepped the ringleader, hitting him with a knife-edge chop as he passed, that caused him to trip to the ground. she ducked under a punch aimed at her head from the next one and hit him with an uppercut to the solar plexus. spinning around as she stood up, she kicked the next closest target with a spinning kick to the ribs. most of the others were starting to realize they didn't want to be in this fight and were attempting to halt their attack, but their momentum carried them on toward her. she attacked one of them with a front snap kick toward his stomach, which he expertly blocked, but he jumped back out of the circle any way. the rest she attacked with a combination of expert kicks and punches. she seemed to be winning this fight, as she had temporarily disabled all but one of the boys. the one who had blocked her kick was standing back watching the fight with a bemused expression on his face and his arms folded. by the time she had disabled the last of the others, the first ones she had attacked recovered, though the leader was still down. they were now quite wary of her, and tried to attack as a group, all converging on her. she charged one side of the attacking circle so she would have fewer to fight at once. she once again waded into them, throwing a low punch here and a high crescent kick there, until all of them were on the ground again.
the leader called to the one boy standing, "" the boy sighed audibly, and approached her. she went again into her defensive stance and he followed suit. they circled each other warily. he feinted with a crescent kick, and followed up with a back kick to her stomach. she was put off guard by his feint as he had planned, so the kick to her stomach got through. she fell to the ground supporting her by one hand, holding her stomach with the other.
he aimed a low, front snap kick to her exposed head, but she jumped up and executed a crescent kick to his head that connected and drove him back. he had thought she was disabled from the stomach blow, so he was off balance when she jumped out of the way of his kick to her head. it seemed that he wasn't the only one able to do a feint.
Tori had seen his moves and speed, and she wasn't sure she could defeat him. with the other boys, she knew immediately from the way they handled themselves that they had not had any professional training, so she could handle them all at once. this boy had evidently had several years of martial arts training, though she hadn't seen enough of his moves to determine what kind. he also had the advantage that he had seen her fighting and knew her techniques, and she was tired while he was still fresh. they circled each other again. he threw a roundhouse kick to her ribs which she blocked with her forearm, and then snapped the foot back and immediately up to her head. the second kick to her head got through, and she danced back with her head spinning. he followed her and delivered another snap kick to her stomach. this one had less effect than the first one, but it kept her off balance.
as her head cleared, Tori was watching him intently to determine what his next move would be. she had never been in a street fight before, so she didn't know that she was experiencing tunnel vision, concentrating on him too intently, and was not aware of anything else. thus, she didn't see the punch to the side of her jaw coming, from one of the other boys who had recovered. the punch stunned her and distracted her. the boy in front of her used this distraction to throw a high kick to the side and back of her neck, dropping her to the ground and sending her into near unconsciousness.
