Thank you for this picture
Zita-san. I love it.
PART 1It’s a new day and new fight…. *sigh
Jurina just wake up in the morning, she walk away from her bed and go to the mirror.
Ahh.. yesterday was a most fun tournament in my life. I never feel the pain like this for a long time.She grin to the mirror, then she go to the bathroom. After she clean up her self, she sit on the floor and took some medicine. She bandaged her wound and bruises well by her self, she seems used to it.
*phone ringing*
"Hello."
“
Where are you? Are you OK? We have a fight again tonight.” A man talk to her with a worry in his voice.
"I’m OK. Where?"
“
The place is same as yesterday, 2 AM. Our opponent group still from yesterday.. they claim for re-match. But……”
"What?! Are you kidding me?! They already lose last night. " Jurina raise her voice.
“
They seems wanna take a revenge to you tonight, you better be careful in this match. And…….” That man take a deep breath.
“Just tell me.. no time for a chicken like you.” Jurina seems annoyed.
“
OK OK.. relax. And for this match, spectators wanna see our match using tools, the referee and judges forced to approve it.”
"Tools? Like our weapon? It’s OK.. piece of cake." She laugh at it.
“
Are you sure? If you win, you can get an amazing price.. It’s 10 times more bigger than our usual money that we got from 1 match.” He stop talking again and he continue it before Jurina cut him again. ”We can reject it now.. you know… too dangerous.”
"It’s OK buddy, my body already more strong than you imagine, so don’t worry about it.. I love money more than my body. HAHAHAHA. OK my manager, I have something to do. See you tonight, BYE."
She turn off her phone before her manager lecturing her again.
She look around her room, it’s not big.. just fit for 1 person. She sigh.. a deep sigh.
It’s already 4 years since I became a street fighter. Fight for other people’s fun and for their bet. This’s s*cks but OK.. rather than I have no job, starving, and then sleep on street.*
FLASHBACK*
Little Jurina run, run like she chased by someone. She fall and run again. After many times she fell and rise again, this time she can’t stand again, out of breath.. too tired.
She cry but nobody care about her, they keep walking. Tired, pain, thirsty, hungry, and afraid. She didn’t know how many days she had run away from that place.
"Hey.. what are you doing in here?! It’s already midnight.. just go home." A men waking up little Jurina.
Jurina open her eyes slowly, she can’t get up because fatigue. Then she cry, ” I don’t have home”. She cried more louder.
That man shock, without more thinking he pickaback little girl and run to his home. Jurina look confuse because this’s not home… just a place. But she didn’t care and fall to sleep again after that man put her to the bed.
========================
"What’s your name?" The man from last night ask her with a smile.
"Jurina. Matsui Jurina. 13 years old." She look down to the floor to avoid man’s eyes.
"OK Jurina, no need to affraid to me. Where is your home? I will…."
"I HAVE NO HOME!" Jurina yell to the man. "Just put me on the street again and I will not bother you again. Thank you."
Jurina walk away, she’s still weak but this time she’s sure that she won’t fall again.
"Wait." That man call her. He seems not sure about what just he decided, but he has no choice. He hold Jurina hands, look into her eyes. "From now on… you have a home and a brother to comeback." He stop a while and.. "My name is Takeru. Kobayashi Takeru. 20 years old. I am your brother and this is your home." He smile.
"But.." Jurina too confuse about this. " I don’t even know you."
"You already know me.. I’m Takeru and you’re Jurina Kobayashi. Don’t say anything again. Just go to the bathroom. I will buy your cloth, but not pretty cloth because I have not much money so…."
"Thank you." Jurina hug that man. She cry again, cry because she’s too happy. "Thank you… brother."

END OF FLASHBACK*
"That manager too worried about me, I am not a child again. I don’t even believe that he’s my brother, I almost think than he’s my mother." Jurina chuckled.
=================****====================
BAAANNNGG!!
Fresh blood come out from Jurina’s head. She wipe the blood that cover her eyes and smile.
"I never been so interested in my life before." She laugh. Then… "Haaaaa!!!!!" Jurina run to the one who hit her with an iron stick. The boy want to hit again but Jurina grab his stick and kick him at his ‘dangerous part’.
That boy cried out in pain and knelt on the floor. Another boy attack her from behind. Jurina didn’t react to it and turn around with a grin in her face that almost covered by blood. She hit that boy’s face really hard, she hit it over and over until that boy fall.
The judge count until 10, then no rection from both of them. “JURINA WIN!!!!” He raise Jurina’s right hand.
The audience enjoy that match, they yell Jurina’s name over and over. Of course they’re happy about it. Jurina is the stongest in this place, Jurina never defeated this year. Everybody put their bet to Jurina.
She smile and walk down from the ring. “See? I won again. So, don’t worry too much about me, big brother.”
"Yeahh… I feel like a girl when I stand beside you. Your stength is not a joke. Come here, I’ll clean your wound." Takeru already prepared the warm water and a towel.
"No. Please no. I will clean it by my self. Everytime you touch my wound, it’s became 1000 times more pain." Jurina run as quickly as she can.
Takeru shook his head, and laugh.
That girl just has her strong and deathly aura on that ring. After that…. she’ll cry like a baby.=====================****===========================
For the name of the heaven, I am bored to the death. Why the match schedule became so rare??!! Is everyone already afraid of me. Come on please… I need some money again. Money? Well… I already have money, more than enough. But, fighting is the most exciting thing in this world.Jurina grumble by herself. She decide to go to the gym. She pack her needs and take her key. It only need 10 minutes to arrive there, she parked her motorcycle outside.
Here we go…. my 2nd favorite place after match’s ring.*
FLASHBACK*
“Jurina, why do we here?” Takeru ask 15 years old little Jurina. It’s been 2 years since Jurina come to him and bright his day.
Now, he confuse why his sister brought him here..
to the gym?! what??!! Did she insult my ‘manly’?"I want to became a strong man like you." She look Takeru’s eyes. "So someday, I want to be able to stand on my feet. So……. I can go and I will not be your burden anymore.”
Takeru shock with his little sister’s words. No, she’s not his little sister anymore… she already grow up and it make him sad.
"No Jurina, I don’t feel you as my burden. I am happy that night I stop and ask you, I’m happy to meet you. You’re my reason to life until today. I want you to stay by my side forever. You’re my sister and please not say that thing again to me, OK?"
Jurina shed her tears, Takeru is so nice to her. She can’t imagine herself now without Takeru. What will happen if that night Takeru don’t stop and pick her from the street? Jurina afraid to look back to that days.
"So, why do we here?" Takeru ask again, this time with more soft voice.
"Brother, since I don’t have money to go to school or something to train my brain… so I decided just to train my body. If brain can’t bring me some money, my body will do that job."
Takeru shock. Deathly shock. “What are you talking about?! It’s true that’s my fault.. I can’t give you much money for school. But, it’s not the only way Jurina!!”
"What do you mean?"Jurina try to understand her brother words, the she get it. "No-no-no. That’s not what I mean. Not that job. Do you think I am crazy?!" Jurina’s cheek blush.
"Ahhhh…" Takeru feel relieved.
"I want to become a fighter."
“Wait, What?!! It’s bad too. You’re really insult my manly in here.” Takeru shook his head.
"Yes, you’re so weak. You know that. You even can’t move the cupboard. I always did it for you.” Jurina grinned. Then they laugh together.

END OF FLASHBACK*
Jurina chuckled everytime she remember that time, the first time she get here.
After she change her clothes, she choose treadmill as her warm up. Usually she pick the place where she can watch the TV while she do the exercise. She’s the only one who’s train there, so she’ll free to choose the channel. She choose a channel who almost show the music programs everyday.
*Music Video Played*
Jurina back to her treadmill. After 1 hour runs, she takes a break and sit in to a chair there.
“
Our young talented actress who lately got so much positive attention because of her acting and her song, Rena, gone for almost 2 weeks now. Her manager said that this past months she always tell that she want to take a vacation, but because her schedule is so tight.. her management can’t approve her request.
Then, she decided to leave her apartment and sent a message to her manager ‘Don’t worry about me, I just want to go to have my holiday… I will comeback soon.’
We hope she’ll okay out there.
This is our highlight news for tonight. See you tomorrow.”
Jurina change the channel, she didn’t have an interest in this kind of entertainment news. Waste of time. Actually, she even didn’t have an interest when it comes to TV. She only watches in here.
