"Seriously?" Salieri clutched her hair with her hands as she watched the rest of the battle with Moze. "Seriously, I gave up my spot in the final for this? What are they going to do next, make out-oh."
Moze grabbed his stomach with one hand, laughing hysterically while Salieri remained stunned. "What a wild tune! I knew she sang quietly, but I didn't know her song would be about lesbians! Zeraaaa~shashasha!"
Aside from Moze, who found the whole situation hilarious, basically every single male in the audience gasped in some way or another. And then they cheered, clapping for an encore, Over the wild hoots and cheers, Salieri shook her head quietly in her seat with a blush and a smirk.
"Damnit Henrietta...you tricked me into playing matchmaker on the battlefield..."

Her second 'kiss' ever consisted of a sort of face smashing. Even so, Henrietta's pale face was bright red, like it was glowing in contrast to the rest of her. Her eyes were wide and a shock leaped through her. The pain from the face falling against hers was matched by a sort of electric flow through her lips.
She was shaking, too stunned to move. After a few awkward seconds a bell rang somewhere, but it sounded too distant for Henrietta to notice. Not for the first second.
Did I just lose? She was, technically, pinned she observed. Her face was growing redder by the second. She did the only thing she really could think of, since shoving and pushing had, sadly, gotten her into this in the first place.
She bit down.

((I just wanted the egg. > >; Mostly.))
"Ouch!"
Whatever Henrietta bit down on was a mystery, mostly because Eunmi's long dark hair had masked out most of what had happened. The teenager retracted quickly, a bit of her pink tongue poking through clenched teeth.
"Why did you bite me?" she shouted, scrambling to her feet. The judge person awkwardly walked over and attempted to catch her hand and raise it up to announce her as winner. She slapped it ******** s**t, Henrietta,> she said, clasping the hand to her mouth. Eunmi's face was bright red, almost as red as her highlights.

Henrietta had no retort, no explanation. She was far too embarrassed. Her hands shot up to cover her face as she lay there. On live television, was it? Pictures everywhere? Oh, she'd seen that stupid thing with the center nurse on the front page, would she be on it next? Judging from the nurse bit, even if a hospital and a Pokemon center burned down she'd -still- be on the cover of it.
I don't want to be here anymore.
So leave.
I don't want to run into anyone.
So run.
I don't want to uncover my face.
You want your cake so you can eat it? That's silly.
...
Henrietta scrambled to her feet, fingers parted to show her eyes. She looked around for the exit to the Challenge rock, the fastest way out before she sprinted off.

Elsewhere...
A dirty blond guy of about eighteen crushed a can in his palms as he stared at the television screen.
"What. The. ********," Sam shouted, throwing the crushed can at the screen where his ex-girlfriend's face was staring in disbelief as an egg was pushed into her hands.
* * * * *
"Uhm..." Eunmi stared down at the egg and then looked back up in the direction Henrietta had sprinted off. Riight. This was really awkward.
"I d-don't have to stick around, do I?" she wondered out loud, hugged the egg tightly and ran away from the scene as well.
"W-wait!" Eunmi shouted after Henrietta.

After the two fighters had run out of the ring, Salieri kept mumbling in disbelief about the lack of a real battle that had happened at the finals and how she would have at least made it flashier. It wasn't apparent to her that the male population of the crowd, which made up the majority, had a fine time at the show.
Moze had left Salieri to grumble by herself at her seat. He walked over to Wayne and the Redgraves, giving his former traveling partner a light elbow on the shoulder to get his attention. "Some fight, huh WL? You don't see that everyday! Zeraaa~shashasha!"
And as her brother socialized like always, Salieri's head suddenly snapped up at a realization that dawned on her.
"Where's my shinai!?" she shrieked as she stood up on her chair. Henrietta was gone, but she could barely make out Eunmi running in the distance. The Battle Girl jumped off her seat and sprinted off in the direction she thought that Emi was headed, eager to get her prize.

Henrietta was, by no means, faster than Eunmi or Salieri. But damn if she didn't try. She'd make straight for the hotel room and, if the others didn't post themselves catching up, she'd totally burst into it and lock the door behind her.
Which was unlikely, considering they're probably like, way faster.

Eunmi would catch up to Henrietta, grabbing at her wrist. I dunno how far Henrietta got.
Eunmi was embarrassed, yeah, but even more because their fight was so lame. The taekwon-do girl had actually gotten really pumped for a fight - a real fight - and all she got was... well...
"What's your deal?" Eunmi shouted. "I tried really hard to get to the finals!
"The finals, Henrietta!" Eunmi looked angry.

"HENRIETTA!"
Salieri would skid to a halt as soon she rounded the corner of the street leading to the hotel, coming acorss the two girls shortly after Emi had caught Henrietta. The Battle Girl marched right up to Henrietta and held out her hand for the reception of the shinai, not caring that Eunmi was there as well. Before she would congratulate the girl on her victory, she had something she needed to get first.
"You owe me your soul. Hand it over."

Her hand had been pulled from her face and Henrietta was turned to a sideways stance toward Eunmi. She tugged uselessly at her hand, to try and pull it back to her face and she looked at Eunmi like she was going to be hit. She'd been humiliated, unmasked, and now she was embarrassed. One hand still covered her face but it didn't matter, Eunmi could see enough of it.
"I-i..."
Don't apologize.
What do I say?
Something relevant?
I didn't want her to get hurt.
She doesn't care about that.
Then..
"I f-fought G-gorm."

"What?" Eunmi shouted. Then Salieri entered. Eunmi was confused by her statement, but grabbed at Salieri's wrist. Even if she was mad at Henrietta... her soul?
"Back off," she said, her anger at Henrietta transferring to her general attitude about everything at the moment.

Salieri was terrifying. She'd put fear into Henrietta during their match, at least. Henrietta tugged at her hand again and if one looked at her they'd see that the only sign that she was still embarrassed was that her face was red. Otherwise she looked afraid, like someone caught between a rock and a hard place.

As soon as Eunmi grabbed the Battle Girl's wrist, her eyes flared up at Eunmi's in a frighteningly powerful glare. The kind that made you think it came from a dragon, not a sixteen year old girl. An immense pressure came out of her eyes. You did not grab Salieri with a threat and expect to come away safely. Eunmi didn't know that she should have considered herself lucky that Salieri decided not to floor her right away.
"You have five seconds to let go," Salieri told Eumi in level headed anger. "The first four don't count."

Eunmi's eyes narrowed, but she slowly loosened her grip. That was odd, something about that seemed familiar.
"What did you mean by her 'soul'?" the korean asked, stepping between Salieri and Henrietta.
