Rule 1 - Don't punch above your weight

Fuji couldn't answer around the hilt in her jaws when the bigger boy threw a compliment her way, but she could feel her face heating to match the pink of her patches beneath her fur. The only ones at home that didn't give her open looks of concern when she threw herself into a fight were Tori and Usagi, and even then, it had been a fight to get her bigger brother to take her seriously.

But now wasn't the time for blushing and stammering! She missed the back paw coming at her shoulder and earned herself a burning slash across the limb, adrenalin kicking into overdrive as she hissed around her hilt. It was a good thing she was already biting down on something or she might have shortened her own tongue. In the back of her mind she thought she'd probably be sneaking in to beg Otis for stitches and to not rat her out to mum.

She drove her head up sharply, using her ram horns to wind the cat and then turned her head to drag the blade across it's soft undersides. Nothing like a guts bath to get a boys heart racing huh? Why was her luck always like this. She might have forgotten the cat was likely to collapse on top of her with that one.
