Emi's day at the gym.

Emi ran as fast as she could but whereever she went she was always a step behind Asuka as the boy seemed extremely fast but Emi refused to give up as she charged off once again hoping to find the boy before he left the AFW altoghether.

Fortunately for her Asuka had no idea where he was going and just ran around randomly. Suddenly he turned around a corner and slammed into something hard as he fell back.

He opened his eyes and saw Emi in front of him. "Um..." He looked away shamefully. "if--if you want to laugh at me for my apperance or how weak I am go ahead." he muttered not willing to look at her.

"Why would i laugh at you?" Emi said as she tried to catch her breath "I don't care if your a man or a girl but it took a lot of courage and strength to get in the ring with me and even after taking a pounding you didn't give up" Emi said with a smile "You shouldn't listen to those assholes back there and you shouldn't run away either but instead you should try to better yourself so you can make them stop laughing yourself."

"That's not going to happen." He looked away sadly. "I'm just like that. There's too much off a difference between me and them, I can't catch up at all. No matter how much I train, I simply can't beat them. And I don't want to become someone else just to win." He told her as he tried getting up.

Emi frowned at Asuka "You don't have to become someone else and you almost beat me back there too with your speed and crazyness, you caught me by surprise alot and i know you'll do well here just don't give up"

"Somehow I find that hard to believe." He turned away.

Emi grabbed Asuka's shoulder as he turned "So your just gong to give up then instead of trying to prove them wrong, mabye you are weaker than i gave you credit for" Emi said still frowning at Asuka.

"Well...I don't know, I just can't seem to keep up with everyone here, and no matter how strong I get, everyone's still going to bully me, both the boys and girls for my apperance, I mean even if I get stronger, I can't deal with a whole bunch of them, who travels in pairs or groups can I?" He asked.

"Well yes you can i could go around with you if you want and if anyone tries to make fun of you i will beat them up" Emi said with a smile as she flexed her muscles.

"No offense, but I don't think u can take on three or four at a time." He smiled weakly. "But thanks, if you really believe me, I think I'll stick around a bit longer then." He softly said the last part out. "Although aren't you a bit disturbed about my apperance? I'm a boy and I look more girly then most girls."
