"Ladies, you two are invited to your friend's little 'private showing' if you'd like." [b][i]He said with a grin.[/i][/b]
-
"Sure ok."says Lola "That's if you win." says Sylvie "Yeah if."says Akiko [i]Akiko smirked at him.[/i]
-
"Sometimes 'if' and 'when' mean that same thing." [b][i]He smirked back. He liked Akiko, she had a fire in her that didn't seem to quit.[/i][/b]
-
"Yeah they can be but im gonna win."says Akiko [i]Akiko was the type person once she got fired up there was literally nothing that could slow her down. It was her very outgoing nature of her's. [/i]
-
"We'll see, we'll see." [b][i]He said, as he picked up his drink, finishing the little bit remaining.[/i][/b]
-
"Yes we will."says Akiko [i]Akiko giggles and smirks at him. Lola and Sylvie would definitely watch them race. [/i]
-
[spoiler]Timeskip to when they race? And then PM I assume once a winner has been selected?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Yes[/spoiler]

[b][i]After a bit, the group finished their game, exiting the bar. He spoke.[/i][/b] "If I might suggest a point to finish at, there's a nice cherry blossom tree in the first courtyard you see when you come in. It's a good distance from here, and seems like a nice spot to end." [b][i]Leon suggested.[/i][/b]
-
"Alright then that can be the mark then."says Akiko [i]she knows where the tree is that he spoke of. Akiko had flicked her tail absentmindly. She wouldnt easily let him grab her tail. So it definitely would be one hell of a challenge. [/i]
-
[b][i]Leon had a feeling she wouldn't let this end easily, so he was ready to push himself as hard as he could.[/i][/b] "Alright, ready whenever you are."
-
"Alrighty then."says Akiko "On your mark... get set... go!!" Says Sylvie [i]with that Akiko takes starting to run for it the tree. She was definitely listening to behind making sure he didn't try to grab her tail even though he try like hell too.[/i]
-
[b][i]Leon was gunning it from the moment she said go. He was certainly fast, his jacket having been removed to reduce any drag. He made an attempt to grab her tail as he ran, his hand just nearly missing it[/i][/b]
-
[i]she could hear him behind her she giggles when feels a brush air sweep past her tail. She still running pretty fast. [/i]
-
[b][i]Leon knew he had the stamina to keep going, 7 years of military marches and such didn't exactly allow you to get winded easily. He kept going, closer behind her[/i][/b]
-
[i]her ears swivel to his direction allowing her to hear him getting closer. She speeds up a little with a clear giggle. Akiko had a lot of endurance so catching her tail would difficult as it moves when she does.[/i]
-
[b][i]He continued chasing her, making another attempt to grab at her tail[/i][/b]
-
[i]he got closer to grabbing her tail but she moves it out of the way. She knew he was gaining on her as she ran. [/i]
-
[b][i]The gain was slow, and she seemed to catch a break as he stumbled a little bit, giving her a small bit of extra distance.[/i][/b]
-
[i]she was still running though not knowing if the stumbling at all. Lola and Sylvie watched the two as ran.[/i]
-
[b][i]He again kept running, once again making an attempt to grab her tail, his fingers just brushing the tip of it.[/i][/b] [spoiler]im assuming your gonna say when she gets to the tree?[/spoiler]
-
[i]she his fingers graze the tip of her tail. Akiko realized he had almost succeeded in grabbing her tail. She could now see the cherry tree in the distance. She just knew she just had to make it there before he grabs her tail.[/i] [i]Yeah [/i]
-
[b][i]The sight only caused him to push himself harder, a few leads of perspiration already having formed on his head as he ran. For a fourth time he tried to grab her tail, taking any shot he could no matter how slim.[/i][/b]
-
[i]he almost grabs it this time but she moves her tail again. But her movements are starting slow down as she starting to run out of steam as they get even closer to the finish line. [/i]
-
[i][b]Woth the amount he had been pushing himself he could only go so hard for so long. His movements slowed a bit to, visibly breathing heavy as he tried one more time desperately to grab her tail, missing my less than an inch[/b][/i]
