After getting back from Sweden, Tyler had slept until just before Fight Club. The results had him feeling a bit like a vampire who never saw daylight. But a very well-rested vampire.

"Welcome back," he said, pacing as usual. "It's been a while, but we haven't forgotten you and I hope you haven't forgotten us. If you need a refresher, rules are on the gym door."

"And if you need a refresher after one week, you are most likely still hungover, and have no place on the mats," Ghanima replied. "Which is why we'll hit you anyway, so that you learn."

"Now then. You and you. Young lady, you're with her. And Azula, with me, please."

"Ghanima, I'm picking on your brother again," Tyler said. "Leto, with her. Steve, with him. And those two. Go hit each other."

"I can't say I disapprove," Ghanima laughed. "I think it's a sister's duty to help torment her brother."

"Now, everyone go hit the mats. Get out your dismay that classes are back again tomorrow, and yes, we expect you to be there. We don't care that it's Homecoming week."

It brushed against him as he twisted to avoid it, and responded with a punch against her shoulder.

Rose pivoted away from the punch, her hands reaching up to try to grab his forearm and propel him into a throw over her hip.

As she grabbed him, Leto let himself be thrown, only to make a quick move and lock one of her thighs with her foot to pull her down with him.

That was a move she was going to remember to figure out later Rose thought as she tried to turn her fall into a roll away from him. He wasn't as big as most of her opponents, but he still had weight on her.

Leto was back on his feet too quick for most people to even notice, and he circled around Rose, waiting for her next move.

She was used to Dimitri's speed, but that was even beyond him, and Rose was back on her feet shortly after. She lashed out with her feet again, trusting in the power of her kicks. The first was a fairly obvious feint as she tried to slip a sidekick through his defenses.

The feint he dodged, the next kick hit Leto's leg. Moving fast now, he spun around and kicked back. She was stronger than he had first thought.

Trying hard to adjust for the speed this time, she didn't quite manage as the kick landed, knocking the air out of her lungs for a moment. Rose disregarded that as she closed with him, aiming a punch towards his shoulder.

He blocked the punch - barely - and aimed one of his own towards Rose, but it lacked determination.

A noticeable lack, and Rose threw her block up hard, trying to make that hurt him as much as it was going to hurt her. Cause seriously, wtf.

They were close enough now that her low kick, aimed for just under his knee, was snapped out for speed more than power.

It did hurt, but he held the gasp turned out more like a laugh. The kick hurt too, but the pain made him focused, and he returned with two punches in swift sequence.

Rose grinned back at the almost-laugh. He was totally better than she was, but hell if she wanted him lowering his level. And she paid the price for the too-hard block, not managing to get her arm into position to deflect the first punch and taking the second on her shoulder as she focused on her own sequence of two jabs towards his midsection.

One was blocked, the other not. Leto grinned at her, then aimed another punch and a kick against her leg.

[SP is always love]

She spun back out of range of his strikes, throwing a hook kick at the end of the spin .

He kept his distance too, then made a sudden leap forward, throwing two punches in quick succession.

Ow, shit. That hurt enough to throw her back for a few moments. Rose jerked her knee up, aiming for the inside of Leto's thigh as she threw a heel-palm strike towards his chest to try to push him back.

His thigh hurt and he was pushed back a little, but Leto advanced again, aiming a hard kick at her leg.
