Showdown at 1600

[Kimiko 0]

The time was 1600 hours. Kimiko stood in the middle of the gym floor. She was wearing a grey tank top and dark blue gym shorts. Her mood wasn't that great, as she was impatiently waiting for the man she issued a challenge to earlier in the day. That man was Haskins.

 

Haskins walked into the gym, and saw Kimiko waiting for him. He smirked, and crossed the room to meet her, wearing his own workout outfit of a blue t-shirt and long green pants.

 

An angered look came over Kimi as Haskins crossed the floor. "You're late. I would have expected a little more from you."

 

Haskins stopped a few feet from her, and looked at the chronometer on the far wall. "It's only 1601, Captain. I was visiting our friend in Sickbay."

 

"To be early is to be on time. To be on time is to be late. Doesn't Starfleet Intelligence teach you anything?"

 

"Apparently they don't teach us catchy phrases to learn regulations. Regulations just get in the way of our goals."

 

"So it would seem," said Kimi, not wasting anymore time. She threw the first punch, aimed for Haskins' jaw.

 

Haskins moved to duck the punch, and got hit on his forehead instead. He smirked. "Apparently you don't have a need for rules either..."

 

"Like you said, Regs just get in the way." She threw another punch, following it up with a kick this time.

 

Haskins blocked the punch with a wide swing of his arm, his leg almost buckling from the kick. A split second later, he found his ground, and used the back of his right hand to hit against Kimiko's ear, the center of the body's balance.

 

Kimi took the hit, almost missing her footing while stepping to the left. "Not bad, but try not to hold back on me. I'm a big girl." She quickly took another stance, and retaliated with a roundhouse kick.

 

Haskins ducked again, and again not fast enough, feeling the tip of her heels knock against the side of his head. Falling freely from the hit, he put his weight on his right hand and swung his legs around to collide with hers.

 

Kimiko fell to the ground but quickly rolled backwards, soon finding herself back on her feet. She then closed the distance, thrusting an arm towards his shoulder.

 

Haskins did a quick side-step, and used his opponent's speed against her by reaching and grabbing her chest as she rushed towards him, picking her up and turning her. He pushed her to the ground, pinning her with an arm.

 

Kimi landed with a thud, taking a little wind out of her. But this didn't stop her, as she kicked at the leg she had incidentally shot during their mission.

 

Haskins stepped back, grunting a little from the still-sore area, but came back again, ready to throw a punch.

 

Kimiko dodged the punch as she got back to her feet. Anger seemed to blind her instincts as she thrust her fist towards Haskins chest.

 

Haskins grabbed her wrist from the side, and pushed her by the chest back up against a wall, grinning. He pinned her arms to her sides. "I win," he said, and stole a kiss on her lips.

 

"Mmph!" was all she could get out as their lips locked, a look of shock on her face. In that moment Haskins let his guard down. Kimi wrapped one of her legs around his and as soon as she freed her hands, she pushed down hard, slamming him to the mat. She soon landed on top of him, pinning him to the ground. "I still hate you," she said before locking her lips with his once more.

 

Haskins grunted as she landed on him. As the second kiss broke up, he looked at her. "If this is what hate is.... I think I like it..."

 

"Shut up…"
