(Hi guys, I have work over the weekend so thats why I haven't posted... till now.)
Kyo, staggered by the blow, attepted to regain his composure, or at least his balance, by grabbing on to the nearby tree. He had had the wind knocked out of him by Yuki's blow. He knew however that it was just luck that was on the rat's side, there was no way Yuki could have more talent than he. After all the training he had.
"DAMN YOU! You may think you know all I can dish out but you haven't seen anything yet. Your luck will fail this time Ratboy."
Kyo pushed back from the tree standing on his own. It was at this time that he noticed the broom that Yuki was using previously.
This time I have him.
He grabbed the broom and used it to push off from the ground giving him a heightened jump. He then swung the broom around his back and attempted to swat Yuki from above.
What better way to kill a rat!?

(I know that in a real fight he wouldn't have time to talk this much. Give it to me? I really liked the taunt. I'm also assuming that you are holding the handle of the broom, not the bristles, since holding the bristles would be highly uncomfortable and awkward.)
"Oh, my luck will fail me? Yes, it's been luck that had you downed and pinned in under a minute every single time we sparred," Yuki retorted at Kyo's first comment. Upon the Cat grabbing the broom Yuki felt a twinge of uncertainty, but overruled it with sheer annoyance and rage, "Hardly fair baka neko, using a broom. Perhaps I should tie a hand behind my back as well. Then you'd stand a chance."
Yuki kept his eyes locked on Kyo's as the broom came tumbling down. Just a few moments before impact he swiftly cut his arm up and around for an outside block, deflecting the broom to one side. If the move succeeded, he stepped in and brought his other arm around for a chest strike, hoping to end the battle quickly.
After all, he had a lot of cleaning up to do.

Even though Kyo was used to getting tossed around in battles, this move still came as a shock to him. His grip on the broom was loose, as he was expecting to strike Yuki with it then drop it to one side. So when Yuki deflected the broom it went flying to one side.
The punch, however, was prepared for. Kyo tightened his ab muscles and emptied his lungs to take the shock of Yuki's punch. It still hurt, but this fight wasn't over yet. Kyo landed on the ground wincing a little, but immediately tried to drop down and sweep a leg to knock Yuki off his feet. Kyo knew that if he could just get one good hit in, the odds would be in his favor. Kyo was used to getting punishment, but Yuki had never been hit in a fight before and Kyo suspected he couldn't handle it.

Yuki winced slightly when his punch hit solid muscle, but recovered easily enough. Kyo seemed to be moving in slow motion as far as he was concerned, and Yuki could read his moves easily. When Kyo dropped to the ground he thought immediately, Ah, that'll be the high kick. He always does it from below to try to get me flying. Idiot. It never worked before, but he never learns, does he? Yuki tsugiachied back and lowered his center of balance to his legs, keeping his head bright and clear.
Then Kyo's leg swept around...
Yuki tried to jump over it, but halfway he changed his mind and tried to move backward. The result was the ability to keep his back leg planted, but his front leg was completely swept off and his balance was lost---along with his absolute confidence in victory---shaking him and leaving him open momentarily.
(For those of you who don't know:
"Tsugiachi" means "scoot," only it sounds cooler and implies a maintained balance. One leg slides back and the other follows, keeping the same form the entire time but moving the person around slightly. It's good for close dodges, since you don't require any time to regain balance---you never lost it.)

Kyo had gone through what to do in his head when this happened over and over again in his head. he had thousands of scenarios planned out in his mind.
Should I continue to attack Yuki's legs to knock him to the ground? Or perhaps I should instead work on his upper body to finish the fight faster, I could even get him into a hold to prolong the agony.
To Kyo the options were limitless, but that was the problem. Kyo couldn't make up his mind. For a split second he froze on the ground in deep thought. Finally it came to him, he took a page from Kagura, he had been hurt by her enough times, a full body tackle. That would end the whole fight here and now.
Kyo quickly stood up and started the charge towards the rat, turning his body to one side and leading with his shoulder rather than his head to prepare for the attack.

Yuki had lost his balance, but a decent breath and shifting his foot helped him to regain his footing. For a moment he was dumbstruck at Kyo's latest action.
That's something Kagura would do, not a trained black belt. Is he seriously trying for such a pathetic tackle?
Yuki smiled, trying to look for some trick or feint as Kyo charged. It looked like he was serious...
As Kyo came in range Yuki stepped from his relaxed horse stance into a forward stance, shifting to the side of Kyo's attack. He grabbed Kyo's head roughly by the hair as he got closer, jerking his neck towards Yuki's body and upward, then forcing it quickly outward and down in a circle. He forced Kyo by the neck two more times, shaking up his inner ear and forcing him to lose his balance. Yuki then jerked up the head one last time before throwing Kyo's face downward.
Yuki then tsugiached backwards, ready for another insane assault and taunting, "You really, really surprise me with your stupidity. Every. Single. Time. I'm bored. If you're going to come at me, come seriously or go home!"

The afternoon was okay in all for him, he was completely free of all bad things. he heard noises and sounds coming from ahead and soon stumbled upon a small skirmish between Yuki and Kyo. In almost amusement, he tilted his head to one side and watched the small fight. His dark solemn eyes stared from yuki to Kyo, okay, it was settled. This was very amusing to Hatsuharu Sohma.
He leaned against a nearby tree, merely watching the two boys. His mind wasn't only on the two, but, there were other strange thoughts in his mind. He was just being the normal thinking-too-much Haru he normally was.

Yuki remained focused on the surroundings and didn't notice Haru at all. He glared at Kyo's back. Maybe it was the summer heat, maybe it was that he had to clean the school by himself, or maybe it was something else, he didn't know. All he knew is he was angry, and a fight seemed an ideal way to vent steam. He didn't need to lose his head (he would not lose the fight, no matter what!) but he did want to continue the challenge.
"Stand up, Kyo! Get up!"

Being jerked to the ground really hurt this time, perhaps because he had put his whole body into it. He still, however, was ready. Kyo rolled over onto his back and jumped up onto his feet, a little more cautious than usual though.
If he's countering all my strong attacks then I'll just have to improvise
Kyo launched into a rapid assault throwing multiple weak punches and kicks in quick succession while keeping his own guard up. Most of these attacks were aimed at Yuki's midsection in an attempt to hit his stomach.

Yuki blocked when he felt the need, but chose to merely dodge the assault, stepping backwards or sideways as the case may be. If he saw the opportunity, he'd catch an arm or a leg and twist it while pushing it away, giving Kyo something to remember in the morning.
Yuki did have to admit, he was getting slightly concerned. Kyo wasn't following his usual patterns. While it was fairly easy to read his moves, Yuki did notice that one or two punches came unexpectedly, and his close shaves were from flinching instead of dodging. This irritated him, but not enough to go on the offensive. He'd wait for Kyo to tire out, and then move for an opening.

Kyo continued his rapid assault, which was getting to be very tiring. He knew that he had to stop this soon so he tried backing Yuki up against a tree. Suddenly he saw the black and white spikes of Haru. Kyo, who very much lacks focus when tired, called out to him.
"Haru?!"
Then strangely stopped punching and kicking.

Yuki stopped and turned to look, too. It was awfully embarrassing to discover that you were being watched while fighting. "Ah, Haru...What brings you here?"

Kyo couldn't believe it, the perfect distraction. But was it really worth it to hit someone while he was looking away.
Yes
But at least not as hard. Kyo quickly tried to jab Yuki in the face with his left hand, not at full strength, but still able to do damage.

Yuki realized his error too late and took the hit. He stepped out of stance when he turned to face Haru, assuming the fight was over, and lost his balance when his jaw was struck. Toppling over, he landed unceremoniously on the dirt. He looked up at Kyo, shocked and angry, "That was dirty. It suits you."

"No need to be snide, I already know that I won!" Kyo sad without even looking at Yuki. His attention was instead towards Haru. "What I really want to know is what are you doing here?"
Kyo took a step towards Haru and left Yuki completely out of his vision. While this may not have been a smart move for Yuki to do, Kyo was confident that Yuki was to proud to copy his attack.
