This is the newly edited version of this chapter that was edited by 0nlyEditing thank you for your help. To everyone thank you for reading. Hello my name is Matt. I've been told throughout my life that the only thing I'd ever love is the sound a person's body fall to a matt. During those times using the words spoken to me from my father and grandfather I'd reply matter-of-factly "the only thing a woman is useful for is cleaning the bloody mess after I spar". To be honest looking back, I believe I definitely deserved all the insults and slaps to face at the time but I never admitted that until two years after the fact. Why two years? Well it all started after a fight. The Fight Off The Matt Ch. 02 The dojo was dead silent. This man was proclaimed invincible in which twenty nine Sensei can attest to. What's more bizarre is the sight that was displayed before the onlookers. This fair beauty dressed in a beautiful kimono, hair tied in red ribbons was the one that dethroned this invincible king. You can hardly blame anyone for questioning the very existence of this moment. As all this played into the minds of everyone watching Matt finally got to his feet. There was a snicker as he slowly turned with retaliation in mind but just as he spotted the culprits' identity he stopped dead. Throughout the last five years of his tenure he has never been knocked down. It was a simple task to be honest due to one important aspect which was male pride. The elder men always had that ongoing thought that they could always overpower him with strength. In actuality very few that could compete but all it took was a little taunting and the fight was his. Even if someone was smart enough to use their speed though it still wasn't fast enough and Matt eventually dismissed the thought that there was any equal to him until today. At the time he could hear the footsteps of someone approaching behind him and was ready to block the perpetrator. Just as he was about to raise his arm he felt a sharp pain, his knees buckled and soon he was looking up at the ceiling. Matt finally shifted his mind back to reality and faced this woman and looked her deep in the eyes ready to speak but opted to head towards the door instead. As the young man opened the door slightly with his back turned to the still very stunned onlookers he spoke. "Two months from now I'll back and we can have a scheduled fight since it seems to me that I thought the wrong person, If you don't want me to take your crest I'd suggest you train properly woman, Oh and by the way I'll think of how you'll apologize to me later." Matt then opened the door and walked out leaving the dojo in frenzy. "Did he just openly challenge Mr. Hashimoto's daughter? Does he have no decency as a man?" "He's a foreigner he doesn't know better than to think that a proper woman would agree." Just then Emiko's uncle who has been at the dojo for many years shook his head at their naive remarks before he spoke. "This lady you speak of five years ago would be top of this class and run the floor with all of you, I don't even doubt even now after the rust that has settled in that she could still kick your asses." With that he left the young men in shock and helped carry his sensei to the waiting ambulance. As he passed by Emiko and looked into her eyes he smiled and thought to himself. "There is the niece that I know and love." In Emiko's eyes he saw the same fight she had before her mother's death. He would have to thank this idiotic man for adding the spark back to this dojo and for also waking up this girl to act as who she really was. Meanwhile after a week Emiko was now sitting next to her father who was lying in bed home. Emiko was distraught, all she could think about was how good it felt to move her leg and kick that egotistic man in the back of the head. She wanted to feel sad for her father and also remorse to the man she kicked like a 'proper' lady should but she couldn't. She could only think about wearing that robe again, training again, and teaching that man that this woman apologized to no one.Just then Emiko's father awoke and spoke to her a little groggy. "Em..ik..ko what you choose to do is always the right answer, If you want to fight then fight and if you don't I'll still love you no matter what happens to the dojo." Emiko just looked at her father lying there and tears started forming. She didn't want to disappoint her father but she would be going against what she had to do. Just then Emiko heard knocking and watched as her uncle entered the room. "Hello uncle." He was a longtime friend as well as family member of the Hashimoto family and loved all them very much. Just then her uncle pulled out an old scrapbook dusted and dirty and opened it to certain spot. As he showed it to Emiko she noticed the woman in the photos very well wearing a robe posing with her uncle and father she was in shock. It was her mother! As Emiko looked at the picture she had nothing to say. She had never known and it was almost too much to take in until she felt her uncle's hand on her shoulder. "She was a scrappy one when I first met her." he started to laugh. He gained is composure and continued his long gray hair falling back into place. "Your mother was actually your father's first disciple in this dojo, She repeatedly tried to persuade him but to no avail, I believe your father told her act like a "proper" woman at some point." He then grinned at Emiko who in return smirked back remembering her earlier remarks to her father. Her uncle then started to look at the pictures before continuing the conversation. "While they were arguing I walked in a she looked at me with a cold stare and said, How about he and I both train for a week and then I'll show you what a 'proper' woman can really do." After that last comment everyone started a fit of laughter even Mr. Hashimoto which resulted in some pain. Emiko then had a sudden realization. She didn't know about any of this which meant only one thing. As she looked into her father's eyes with sudden realization it suddenly hit her. Her mother gave up what she loved for her daughter to be "proper" woman. She then looked straight into her father's eyes and felt a little betrayed. Then her father started to speak. "When you were born your mother asked me to promise never to tell you and to let you make your own decisions no matter what they were, To be honest it was hard for me not to tell you about this, because I know how you feel about karate because your mother felt the same and it'd probably persuade you to continue. But I love your mother and wanted to keep her promise." After a long drawn out silence Emiko started tearing up again. She couldn't believe that she was going to give up what she loved. Her own mother gave up her fighting spirit in order to properly raise her and now she was going to throw it all away. She wasn't living her life she was living her mothers. Emiko then got up out the chair and headed towards the door and stopped after grabbing the handle. She looked her father and uncle before she spoke in a confidence that both men remembered in that young woman before. "Uncle after you and my father's conversation I need someone to help train and spar with me, I promise I won't hold back." She then opened and closed the door leaving the room of the two smiling men. They both started laughing then simultaneously looked at the picture of her mother. Yes she was definitely her mother's child. The first month of the training was focused on gaining the endurance and strength that was lost from years of neglect. It wasn't easy and although everyone had insisted on helping with the usual chores that Emiko had scheduled she refused and soon it became evident that fighting as well as training ran through her blood. It had been an eventful two months at the Hashimoto dojo. During the last few weeks sparring sessions were scheduled with the "lucky" participants who made those comments earlier about being a 'proper' woman much to the chagrin of her victims. Nevertheless after tons of bruised and battered bodies of her assailants and further strength training she felt she was ready to leave a lasting impression on another man soon. Mr. Matt Helmsley will soon be falling to his knees thought Emiko as she kept her training going till the end of the day. It was an off day tomorrow to recuperate before the fight. As Emiko awoke the day of her fight she looked at the robe hanging in her room. It was her mother's robe that her father found earlier and Emiko thought it was a perfect gesture to continuing her life. The life her mother had to give up and the life her father wanted his daughter to continue. As she slipped into and shower and got dressed, ate and then put on the robe she headed out the dojo. There at the main entrance was Matt the man she was going to leave a battered mess she thought. As she walked past him ignoring his presence the young man looked at her. He could see she trained hard and thought that at least she might be able to entertain him a little. He then walked behind her while speaking in a stern manner. "I hope you know woman that I won't hold back so you better be prepared." As he just finished the last of the sentence he then saw a foot head towards him that he blocked inches from his face almost in an instance. As the foot was lowered he saw a smirk across this woman's lips before she spoke. "This "woman" hopes you don't go easy on her or there won't be anything left of you when she's done." She then opened the dojo door and slammed it closed in front of Matt who looked on bewildered. Never in his life has anyone been so arrogant and rude towards him but he couldn't help but have a smile across his face. "This should be fun" as he said under his breath before he headed into the dojo after her. Everyone was gathered waiting for the fight with many still questioning the safety of the woman. As their Sensei turned to them one after another with a reassuring stare they quieted still praying for her safety. Just then Emiko and Matt entered the room and all went quiet. The tension could be cut with a knife.As they both took their places on the mat and bowed their respect to the judge and to their combatant the match was started with Emiko lounging toward her competitor. Just as before Matt had decided to stay in the same spot to test his opponent out first and just as the rest have shown he was disappointed. True he could tell she had talent far beyond anyone he's faced but just like everyone else she was trying to use her strength to beat him. No doubt the roundhouses and chops and punches she threw could knock him down if he didn't anticipate and block them but that was useless. He mentally sighed thinking if she used her speed and tried faster kicks and tried to circle him she might have had a chance but he could tell her mind was clouded. He was trying to desperately lite a fire under her with mockery but to no avail. Matt then stepped forward taking the punch Emiko directed at him and grabbed the arm and punched her with his flat palm against her shoulder. As she fell to the mat on one knee he looked down at her before he spoke. "I thought you were a lot better than this but I guess I was wrong, Do me a favour and give up I don't want to hurt your pretty little face." Just then Emiko got up quickly and with same kick she used earlier in the day she hit him square in forehead knocking him down. Matt then got up on one knee smirking thinking "that's what I want" before getting up and for the first time in his life headed towards his opponent. Emiko was crafty using her quick kicks that Matt barely was able to block but then she would turn to his side and kick with opposite leg staggering him. Matt would manage to block her further attacks thanks to his training and earlier childhood. He never thought he would ever feel this way before but he was having fun. This woman maybe a little rusty was almost an equal. He finally fighting with most of his strength and he never thought that would ever happen in his lifetime. Then as the match continued and they traded a few blows. Which weren't Matt's full strength yet. Matt then decided that she deserved to feel all his strength everything he had because she had earned that much as a gathered his flat palm and hit Emiko's shoulder again then then as she dubbed over he grabbed her arm and twisted her body over his bent over frame and slammed her hard on the mat knocking the wind out of her. As the count was on with some pleading to get up and stay down the match was called. It was over and as Emiko got up on her knee crying openly before screaming and slamming her fist into the mat. Her opponent looked on in shock. Matt usually saw a different side to his previous opponents. Most would leave the dojo and not speak a word or even throw their crest at him almost as if they were cheated. This woman wore a different look, a look of one that thought she could have still won. She had a look that said she wanted to continue. As Matt looked on while the sensei approached him her head the woman scream at the top of her lungs. "You will not get that crest even if I have to fight you one hundred times until I win you will never get that crest!" Matt stood there pondering something. Never has he ever wanted to fight again before because usually he'd lose interest but despite himself he felt something. Was it remorse? Was it admiration? Whatever it was he felt it in the pit of his stomach. He felt sick and his body felt warm. That's when he remembered what he told this young woman about his apology. "You lost there's nothing you can do about it but..." As he paused to think over his thoughts he looked at this woman and it all became clear again. "I will let the crest stay here in this dojo and I will make sure that everyone recognizes the respect that this place deserves, but there's one thing that I will need in return." As everyone looked at the young man and then back at their sensei who nodded his confirmation. Emiko looked at her opponent thoughtfully before she asked. "If it will mean keeping my family's pride after I disgraced them then I will be willing to do anything." As Matt looked at this woman with a sudden admiration he then continued with a stern completion. "I've decided that I will never find what I'm looking for so I will create and start my own path with the money I've earned by selling back the crests to the dojos I bested." As he looked around the room in all their eyes and then back to their sensei he then turned to look at the now standing woman before him. "I will need to start from scratch." As he grabbed the woman's hand holding hit and looking at her with a smirk. "You're my new discipline so you're coming with me." He then suddenly grabbed Emiko's hand she couldn't even think she knew she had no choice but decided to look at her father for confirmation. As she looked into her father's eyes he smiled and nodded his head. She was confused and betrayed but she looked back at Matt and then nodded and headed out the dojo door to her home to shower, pack up and head for her new journey as this strangers' disciple. ***** Once again thank you for reading this chapter.

I promise after the chapters are edited I will repost them on here to enable the readers of Literotica the best possible story I can produce which they truly deserve, phil89 The Fight Off The Matt Ch. 03 Once again thank you everyone for the comments and for reading the story. Once again sorry for the grammar, punctuation mistakes as I am still working on getting an editor. I hope you can still enjoy. ***** For those of you that don't believe in fate should learn from me. My name is Matt and like many people I only believed in things I could grasp or see with my own eyes, love not being one of those things. At the time before I stepped foot in that run down dojo if you asked me "Will I take a person under my wing and a woman no less after she knocked me on my ass?" I wouldn't even have the decency to make any sort of comment. Now as I finished writing this to this day it amazes me to think what a good kick in the head will sometimes drive a good lesson home. A lesson that I would eventually grasp that my soul could not see... As Matt and Emiko made their way through the countryside together, under intense stares throughout the way they made it to the airport where Matt finally spoke the first words since they left that dojo. "You better not disappoint me." Matt spoke while grabbing for the bags at the check-in counter. Oblivious to the daggers piercing his from the intense stare behind him he never flinched but expected the next response. "How dare you asshole may I remind you that you were the one that chose to kidnap me so before you start making threats remember what I can and will do if I feel like it." Ah the 'A' word Matt has become accustomed to it for so long he's made several head turns of the direction every woman's direction that uttered it. It's become a second name for him he even thought of adding it as a middle name going as far as the front of city hall before realizing the audacity of it all. I mean why he would want to make his name longer it would just be a hassle anyway. Thinking that was truly the only reason he didn't to this day still draws a smile to his face. In fact he had that very minute that wasn't lost on his severely pissed off guest. "Why are you smiling asshole, you think this is funny do you?" Matt just shook his head ignoring her without giving a response. As he made his way to his seat looking out at the window he couldn't help but look at her. She was still sporting that agitated look for earlier. For some reason and completely out of character he spoke. "If this is how I can keep you quiet then by all means think in your pretty little head that I'm the biggest asshole in the world." Matt then watched her turn to him still piercing blades into him as he winked at her giving his last comment of the flight. "I'll even make it my middle name." As he watched her turn away from him he thought through the teeth grinding and jaw clenching there was a slight curvature to her lips. No he must of mistaken that but for some reason the blades in his back didn't hurt as bad as the plane made its ascend to the journey toward home. A place that Matt thought was much of a paradise as was hell on earth. As the plane made the decent and they made their way to the parking lot there was a woman that looked to be in her mid-thirties wavy seemingly towards them. Emiko thought that it was odd until they got closer to the woman and Matt hugged her. After a long embrace the woman looked at Emiko with a smirk on her face then turned to speak. "So my brother goes abroad to beat up some old fogey fighters and not only comes up unscathed except for one time. " The woman said as she turned to Emiko and continued. "It just so happens to be this lovely thing right here, tell me Matt after you were fighting did you roll around with each other a little at least?" The woman then winked at Emiko smirking as the younger woman stared open mouthed before she growled and spoke in a harsh tone. "Listen here lady I did no such thing and if your brother tried it I would have kicked his ass." Immediately the older woman began to laugh as she shook her head and turned to her very annoyed little brother. "I like this girl I think you should keep her, well let's head back to my place so we can sort things out. Oh and by the way my name is Elizabeth but please call me Liz what's your name little lady?" "Emiko" As the group headed out to the car Emiko had a chance to look at the woman. She was rather tall five foot 10 and was very toned with short brown hair. Emiko was about to guess what her profession might be when she realized she was caught staring as the woman was looking straight at her. "Navy for a while then became a personal trainer and thank you for the compliment." As the woman turned away Emiko realized she had started blushing and put her hands over her face. As the car drove away most of the conversation was directly amongst the siblings with a few times Liz would try to ask Emiko something being ignored. As the car made a complete stop in front of a house Emiko stood in front of the car in shock. They were smack dab in the middle of nowhere with a manmade lake many acres of land a house that looked like it could house the whole dojo her father lived in comfortably. Liz noticed her guest staring at the house as many people do their first time seeing it. "My dad owned a gym and my mom was a trainer and they built it from the ground up. Now it's the biggest in the city and I own it now including this house." Emiko still looked at the house in awe but realized the past tense given in the woman's statement but decided against asking about it. As the woman walked inside with Matt in tow carrying the entire luggage they made their way to the couches and each sat in a respective cushion. "By the way Emiko I'm surprised at how good your English is." "I have went to many tournaments abroad and since my father and mother also did in the past they learned English as second language, I learned so much of it that it that it almost became my first language to be honest." Liz then nodded and grabbed an envelope that was sitting on the table and handed it to Matt. "So Matt I contacted my people and got you the land and constructed the building to the specs you wanted, and I handled the fees. So you will use the money you got to cover the down payment, after that you make enough and pay me the rest the building and land is yours." As the woman handed the rest of the papers and Matt looked and signed them a petit woman came into the room. She was small probably late twenties to early thirties and was of Japanese descent with long black hair. She smiled and handed the seated guests a tea and asked them how they took it then she proceeded to sit next to Liz as she was hugged tightly in embrace. Liz then kissed the woman on the lips and turned to Emiko with a smile on her face as the woman in front of her began to blush again which seemed to happen a lot lately. "Matt was already introduced two years ago at the wedding but Emiko I like you to meet my partner Nao, it seems that I'm not the only one who prefers the beautiful Japanese woman." As Nao smiled sensing her guest's discomfort at the hands of her teasing lover again she rose up and grabbed Emiko's hand and guided her to the kitchen to talk. As the two headed to the kitchen Matt turned to his sister and spoke in a whisper being careful to hide their conversation with the two. "I would ask that you please stop insinuating that I'm with that woman and also to mention that you were dangerously close to mentioning you know what, you know that I don't like having people knowing anything personal it's a weakness I can't afford." Liz just sat there and shook her head, her brother was always like this treating the death of their parents and attraction to another as a weakness. She just bit her tongue knowing that arguing was futile and sipped her tea before she made a response. "I know that I slipped up but Matt you need to grow up, anyway do you want to tell me what you did on your travels now?" As Matt signed and began to speak to his sis there was a conversation happening in the kitchen. "So..Nao how did you and Liz meet?" "I was actually applying for a job as the secretary for Elizabeth at her work, one thing led to another and I got some additional job benefits." As she turned to the younger Asian woman giving her a bright smile she could remember all that transpired and wondered if Emiko to has found happiness. As both woman prepared the food and eventually finished they headed back to room where Matt and Liz were discussing their childhood memories. As Matt whispered too loudly Emiko gasped hearing what he had said. Matt then turned to her frowning before turning away. "Great like I needed another person to pity me, just what I need." As Matt said those words full of distain Emiko realized the sadness of the man she barely knew and had to ask the question that was on her mind all evening. "How did they die?" As Matt snorted he shook his head. "well since you already know they both died my mother succumbed to an illness which she told me she wasn't strong enough to survive, two weeks later I receive an email from my father saying that I needed to become stronger and to do that is up to me." Matt then paused then continued as Liz and her partner Naoko were teary eyed knowing the last of the story from hearing it many times but it still affected them. "After the email I got a call an hour later that my father committed suicide, after that I took a one way ticket to Japan to find someone that could tell me how to become stronger. Now that I found nothing but a sassy woman I figure the only way to get strength is to do it myself like my weak parents couldn't." He then slammed his fist on the table storming out of the room. That was the first time Emiko really saw that much emotion from the man. She noticed the others were cleaning up the mess left behind and proceeded to help only to have Liz grab her hand and motion her to go after Matt. The room was dark despite the time of the day due to both windows being covered. There was a flicker of light from the computer located straight across from her. As she approached it she noticed the background picture. It was of Matt and Liz and what looked to be their parents smiling and happy. That was when Emiko could feel wetness forming on her cheeks as tears poured down. She realized that Matt to had lost his mother and despite her father being alive he too was dead to this world. As she continued to cry she didn't notice Matt lying on bed next to her standing form. He had been watching her since he heard the little figure choke up behind him. For some unknown reason he couldn't keep his eyes off her. He had seen many people cry when they heard the news of his parent's death but many seemed all fake to him. Only his sister Liz and her partner Nao seemed genuine until right then he felt the same with Emiko. She looked so vulnerable standing there not like she was normally. Usually she had this confidence and composure about her, but now this was different. Matt couldn't stop as if in a trance his hand made its way towards Emiko's as he grasped it and pulled. What resulted was Emiko gasping and falling to his side on the bed looking at him wide eyed in shock. Almost impulsively Matt put his fingers to her face brushing the tears away as if it would return the woman to the strong willed person he had come to be interested in. It was a strange feeling for him as he never felt anything like it before. He then moved the hair on her forehead out of the way and kissed the small forehead in front of him as he looked down at her seeing her face turn red despite the darkness in the room from both the action and from the stares. As he was sensing the woman uncomfortable body language he moved off the bed not before smiling back at her and leaving the room leaving the woman lying on the bed open mouthed no able to speak blushing again for the millionth time that day. She then decided to gather up herself and made her way to the kitchen after the man that she hated earlier in that day but had grown to hate less. Liz noticed the two head back separately but did notice the slight smile on her brother's face and the still very pink face of the treasure behind him. Knowing this was too great of an opportunity to pass up she began to speak with a big grin on her face. "I was wondering if you guys would ever come back, did you have fun." As Liz winked at Emiko causing her to blush again Matt used the opportunity to save the woman from further embarrassment. "Liz you know that nothing happened and second I'm not like you so quit messing with the woman, we need to go to hand these papers in so please try to be thoughtful to your guests when we return." Matt then grabbed Emiko's hand and headed out the door, leaving Liz and Naoko who smiled at each other thinking that perhaps there was hope for the young man after all. The Fight Off The Matt Ch. 04 Once again thank you everyone for the comments, reading and rating this story. As some of you know I have an editor but is very busy at this time so this chapter will have grammatical and other errors present. Once this chapter is edited I will repost it just like chapter one so thank you for being patient. ***** The ride into town was silent, but tension was unmistakably present. As Matt and Emiko pulled into the parking lot at city hall Emiko noticed Matt walk to her side of the car opening the door. She had never let a man do that for her being that she always insisted she could do those things herself back at home. This time was different though, she didn't have the fight in her to refuse. Something about the way he carried himself she felt like he wasn't treating her as a helpless woman, but a woman who could be helped. As Emiko made her way out the door with Matt gasping her hand to help she couldn't help but blush. Her hand was so small in his that she felt as though like a child. As she looked down at his hands she also noticed they were rough looking and callused but she couldn't feel it at the time, only something else that she couldn't put her finger on. Matt then un-grasped her hand and walked with a purpose toward the building leaving Emiko staring to his back. What she didn't realize was that she wasn't the only one that had been looking. Matt had noticed the dainty hands in his grasp so soft and warm and the look of the woman as he stared down at her made his heart skip a beat. He decided to leave her be before he did something that he would regret and made his way into the building. "Hello my name is Matt Helmsley I'm here to register these documents." As the woman in her late fifties looked at the strong rough looking young man she couldn't help but smile at the beauty walking behind him, nervously fidgeting with her hands clasped in front of her. She looked more like a teenager compared to this man but with the sight she saw outside just a moment ago she knew there was more. She couldn't help but "guide" this young couple along just a bit. "Mr. Helmsley since this will take a while so why don't you and your wife go to that wonderful restaurant just down the road, it is one of the most romantic spots in town and the food isn't expensive either." As the woman finished with a wink she notice the young one's face turn two more shades of red and the young man cough attempting to draw attention away from his embarrassment. "Um she isn't my wife she's my...friend but I guess I will accept that offer since I am a little famished." "Yes!! Um me and Matt aren't..together..um but thank you!!" Emiko stammered bowing a little too enthusiastically. As the young couple made their way out the door the elder woman smiled to herself as she sipped on some tea looking at her family portrait. To say that the moment in the restaurant was awkward was a severe understatement. As both of them made subtle glances at one another while drinking from their glass. As the waitress made her way to the kitchen after taking their orders Matt made an attempt to end the silence. "That deal at the hall was a little awkward wasn't it?" He said with a smile. Emiko then looked up at him and smiled herself then they both began to laugh hysterically drawing a few annoyed glances from the other customers. That was then answered by Emiko who looked at one of the elder couples next them and winked and relied rather sarcastically. "Oh don't worry guys we just got out of the ward, they just cleared us so you can go about your business thank you very much." The couple gasped in shock Matt just stared at the woman across from him with a huge smile. Never in his lifetime would he have thought to have this much fun with a woman besides his sister. He realized as the days went by he was growing more and more fond of her company. He then realized that what his sister had said all those years ago wasn't as farfetched as he thought. As they returned to the office to sign the rest of the documents without a few red faced moments along the way, they returned to Liz and Nao's home. As they both entered they realized that no one was there and they made their way to check on the rooms available. As Matt showed Emiko the first guest room and where to put her belongings he made his way to the room across. As he opened the door to the extent it would go he realized what had restricted the door, hundreds of boxes. He had known that the room turned into a storage area and asked his sis to remove them a week ago, but as far as he could tell not one of them had received a brush of a finger upon them. Cursing to himself he was met by Emiko behind them as he explained the situation. "I told her to remove these last week I guess I'll have to sleep on the couch tonight." As he made his way to the front room with Emiko in tow he was met by his sister who had just got back with Nao who had seemed to be nervous standing behind her. As Matt looked past them to the couch he realized that it wasn't there. "Sis where is the couch?" As Liz looked at the original vicinity of the couch and then back at her brother he was barely able to hide an amused grin as she spoke. "Oh that well I love my beautiful wife of mine but sometimes she can be a bit of a klutz, spilled a whole bottle of wine of the interior, a whole fricking bottle! Imagine that. " As Liz looked at Matt and then at Emiko she realized that they had stumbled upon the little present she gave them this weekend. Then she decided to finished her explanation after shrugging her shoulders trying not to laugh. "So after I punished my naughty little girl here I decided since you guys were gone and that couch was older anyway to get rid of it and go preorder one those leather ones. They didn't have any in stock so it'll be here tomorrow evening." As she finished with Nao bushing at the earlier comment it was met by her brother slapping a hand to his forehead with a groan. Emiko just stood there not really grasping the severity of the situation until Matt made it clear. "Elizabeth you forgot to get rid of the fricking boxes and now I have nowhere to sleep you dumbass." Liz just smiled knowing that her brother only said her given name when he was really annoyed. She then shrugged her shoulders again and pointed at the now wide eyed young woman behind him. "Wait Liz please don't tell me what I think you're going to say." "Well Emi darling looks like you have a bed fellow tonight." As Liz winked at Emiko and then looked at the slack jawed brother of hers. She really loved to torment him and although she never stooped to mettle in his love affairs, she decided she liked teasing his young Asian beauty way too much to let her go. As she made her way holding her partners hand and walking to her the bedroom she looked at the now deep blushing woman behind her. This was going to be a fun weekend she thought. Especially since she knew the only bed available was only big enough for two really close individuals and the sleeping bags were also mysteriously missing. Matt stood there just looked at Emiko and back at his sister room repeatedly. He then stopped and looked up at the ceiling realizing that yet again he had lost to his sister when it came to tricks. He then looked Emiko who was blushing looking down at the ground kicking air while fidgeting with her little hands, She really looked like a child then and adorable. He then smiled and put his hand under her chin lifting her eyes to meet his as he sported a serious face. "Listen I will sleep in the car and you can have the bed to yourself, there is no way I'm going to let my sister get the better of the situation and I..." He was then stopped by Emiko who put her hand over his mouth and looked at smiling. Matt really liked it when she smiled. "Listen I um...don't..mind..if..you sssleeeep..with...me." As she finished realizing the innuendo she then blushed and lowered her head. She then went to finish until Matt met her with a smile. "I understand what you meant and if you are comfortable with it then I promise to be on my best behavior, I will even sleep on top of the covers and you can sleep inside of them. " Emiko then looked up and him tapping her finger to her lips as if pondering something. "No I think I can trust you besides if you try anything I'll just have to show you my kick again." As Emiko smirked at Matt they both began to laugh. As they got changed and headed into the room and locked the door Liz and Nao opened the door that was ajar. They then smiled at each other and began to giggle. They had finished pushing the two and now it was in their hands. Matt and Emiko made their way to the bed with Matt against the wall and Emiko curled up in front of him. Matt couldn't help but notice the feel of this woman's skin. So smooth and the red nightgown contrasted beautifully with her browned skin and her long black hair. He looked down at his arms that were snaked around her waist and loved the looked of his skin next to hers. It looked so exotic, both arms muscular and toned but in different size and colour. He knew if he thought of image in his mind to much it would affect him in the way that would make them both uncomfortable. So just closed his eyes and went to sleep unknowingly to the soft brush of the small hand across his as he slept. Emiko was far from asleep yet and couldn't understand what she feeling at the moment. The only thing that she could think of looking at the tow arms laced together was one word, Exotic. ***** I once again apologize to the readers for the mistakes in this chapter and the shortness of all the chapters I write.

Until then I will posted chapters separately to try to keep the readers interested thank you, Phil 89 The Fight Off The Matt Ch. 05 As the room filled with warmth and light Emiko awoke more refreshed then she ever recalled after sleeping. She almost forgot about the details of last night until she felt the unfamiliar but somehow comforting arms around her. As she smiled down at Matt's sleeping form she felt a ping of something she couldn't comprehend. As his strong arms almost possessively snaked around her she felt, safe. Then she looked at the clock seeing the time to be half past noon. She couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle, she obviously wasn't use to the time change and the jet lag didn't help but Matt wasn't any better. Seizing the opportunity she stuck her tongue out at him teasingly knowing that he couldn't react in his sleeping state, or so she thought. "That was pretty naughty coming from you missy." Matt said with a smirk then a wink. Emiko couldn't help but turn two shades of red. "sorrie..ummm.M.mm.aaa.ttt." Matt just chuckled and shook his head. He couldn't believe how quickly this woman's attitude could change, from one moment a playful teasingly fun woman to this mousy quiet submissive little girl. As she began to sit up with her legs underneath her, and fold her hands in her lap in the traditional Japanese manner Matt again felt this unfamiliar pull to this woman. As he grasped one of her hands and started pulling her on top of him legs wrapped around her startled but flushed form he heard a knock at the door. "Hey bro hate to interrupt the love nest but I thought you wanted to head to your new digs. " Giving a frustrated sigh he reluctantly got up looking at Emiko dressed in a silk red nighty with a flushed face looking at him. Was that lust he saw also in her eyes or was in his imagination? As he opened the door looking back at Emiko he mentally kicking himself cursing his sister before closing the door. As Matt headed back towards the kitchen seeing his sister Liz looking at her partner Nao adoringly who was cooking lunch he felt a familiar sensation from before. Shaking it off and baring his teeth at his sister he walked briskly to her. Not before Liz turned to him and put her hands up mocking surrender with her trademark smirk. "Whoa there little brother sorry to ruin what from the looks of your face was a pleasant encounter but, you and I both know you need to get this projected started plus.." "If Nao is any indication these pretty Asian woman are very noisy and you might need a different venue for more privacy." Liz said winking afterwards leaving Matt to palm his forehead and Nao to turn abruptly towards them blushing bright red. Matt then turned away and headed towards the shower leaving Nao and Liz whispering together and only closing the door after a slight chuckle from his sister and playful slap to her shoulder from Nao. At this time Emiko had just begun processing what had just happened and what could have happened between her and Matt. Although that part was a little shocking to her what was more shocking was that she held no resistance to Matt's advances, and would have gone through with anything he wanted to do. As she subconsciously numbed the hand that was grasped recently she sighed and headed to the bathroom that was jointed to her room that was across from the kitchen. This Bathroom had two ways to enter through and usually if it was occupied both doors would be locked, but seeing as it wasn't Emiko entered without first listening in for the shower that had just finished running. As Emiko entered holding fresh towels in her hand wearing just the nighty she stopped dead looking at the bare back of Matt drying off his hair. Emiko wanted to turn and walk out of the room but she was unable to move. It wasn't until Matt turned holding the towel in his hair bare to Emiko's eyes that she started to open her mouth to speak but nothing came out. It was then that Matt looked at her and smirked holding the towel in front of him mocking violation that Emiko had to smirk back. "I see how it is, you waited for little me to be vulnerable so you could pounce is that it Emmmiko." Matt said her name with such a low seductive tone that it made her shiver. As Matt then took the towel and started drying himself making sure to trail away from what her eyes were looking, he then dropped the towel to the floor with is hands on his hips. "Well as it is to say you got an eyeful I believe I deserve the same respect hmm?" It was then at the end of that sentence that Emiko was jumped back to reality. She then recalling what he said grasped the towel in front of her shocked mouth open. "I..I didn't mean to..It was your fault for leaving the door unlocked." She managed to say reassuring herself that she didn't have any other option. Yes of course she couldn't leave the bathroom because she was so shocked and appalled and the blatant display. Matt then smirked back at her and then picked up the towel wrapping it around him. He then made his way directly in front of her putting a hand on top of hers leaning his mouth to her ear and spoke in a deep husky voice. "Emiko if you want I can strip you myself, and you can struggle all you want so you can feel that you never lost your respect as a strong independent woman... Although I don't think that at all but it's what you feel. " Emiko said nothing but opened her mouth breathing heavily as Matt then took the silence as the okay. As he grabbed the towels from her hands as she half struggled slapping at them he tossed them to the ground. As he then grasped the strings in the front of her nighty with his right hand she pushed his hands away a couple of times. Seizing both her wrists with his right moving them to his left and holding them over her head as he slowly walked with her body to the bathroom door. As her back was to the door hands held above her head she started lightly kicking at legs struggling halfheartedly to get out of his grasp, he moved his legs to the front of hers pinning her legs with his knees. He then slowly undid the string in front of her nighty watching her look at his fingers mouth gaped open and body breathing heavily. He then moved his hand around her throat kissing it he moved her hands down grasping them in front of her as he brushed his hand on one side of her shoulder and then the other taking her gown with him as he passed. Taking it down her body kissing every inch of her along the way, as he made it to her exposed braless breasts to his gaze he kissed the tip of her nipples and then around them down to her belly button her red lace trimmed panties came to his view. He slowly moved the gown just past them Emiko now moved her hands submissively behind her back as he then held it with his now free left hand. He trailed his right hand along the trim of her panties to down to its led holes and to a visible wet spot, where he moved his fingers delicately across the wet patch moving his fingers out of the way and kissing the spot. Matt then heard and groan from above his head making his how hard erection twitch, as he moved more briskly to remove her gown kissing along the way getting Emiko to step out of it. At one last ditch effort to protect what she no longer wanted to but to maybe add to fire, Emiko moved her hands and clasped them in front of her panty covered mound showing her visible signs of arousal. That move although only made growl at her with desire as he grasped the now shaking hands above her head again, and slowly and teasingly tugged one side of her panties at a time with his right as they were then tugged down to her ankles and off as he grasped them in his hand. As he looked at the visible wet spot on them and back up at Emiko who now had her mouth gaped open and was now flushed and eyeing him now he could confirm as lust he then tossed the panties to the floor and kissed the center of her pussy and moved away from her. As Matt got up and grabbed the towel and wrapped it around him Emiko stared at him in shock. How could he do this to me she thought. She started getting angry and was about to speak when Matt placed a finger over her lips shushing her. "In all do time Emiko, I would want nothing more than to ravish you and then clean you from head to toe in the shower, but I would have to rush so I wouldn't miss my appointment and the last thing I want is rush instead of pleasuring you all night." "I'll see you in bed tonight Emmm...iko".He then opened the bathroom door leaving her hot and flushed and visibly shaking. As Matt left the bathroom headed to the room and got dressed he punched the mattress repeatedly cursing that he had this appointment planned today. All he wanted to do, scratch that needed to do was take Emiko in his arms and pleasure that delicious body. He almost headed back to the bathroom but then sighed and headed to the kitchen after relieving his erection hoping it won't be the only bliss he'll encounter tonight. Liz looked at her now flushed brother as he made his way to sit at the table. Never mind the fact that it's been about an hour since he went to take the shower, she would only speculate except for the fact that she knew that adjacent door to the bathroom didn't lock anymore. "That was a long shower bro I should charge you for all the water you wasted." Matt didn't even acknowledge her and kept on eating as Nao looked over at Liz and then Matt before she questioned almost innocently. "Is Emi up yet should I go wake her?" As Matt started to cough and then grab a napkin Nao took the chance to smile at Liz winking and then grabbing her and Liz's plates and started washing them in the sink. "No Emiko is awake she couldn't figure out how to work the shower so I showed her." As Liz listened to her brother's almost passable explanation she couldn't help but smile. She knew they didn't have a chance to act on their feelings for one another but she knew she might have to schedule a trip with Nao tonight. Something about loud noises didn't make for a good night for sleeping she thought with a smirk. As Matt got out of the chair and headed to the sink he heard the door open and saw the most breathtaking sight he had ever seen. He had a chance to look at her wearing a baby blue blouse and black frilly skirt that reached just above her knee. She also had two baby blue ribbons tied on either side of her hair that made her look so feminine. Matt had to quickly look away and close his mouth but not before Liz saw his reaction. "Wow Emi sweety you look stunning, what do you think Matt?" Matt just turned back to look at Emiko thinking of how you could accurately describe what he saw. He then went for the more subtle approach hoping to avoid any more teasing from his sister. "She looks good wouldn't think that she was able to even lift a finger let alone a foot at my head if you look at her now." He said with a smirk. Emiko listened to Matt's playful teasing and smirked back. As they both stared obviously too long she decided to make a play at him to see his response. "Yes I know I look so innocent and weak, maybe I need someone big and strong to protect me..But I since I kicked your ass I don't know if you could." Matt just looked at the now playful Emiko with hands on her hips and knew she would be coming with him for the ride but not before flicking her emotional switch first. "I don't know about protecting but I know I am a BIG man so maybe you should accompany me today what do you think?" As Matt finished the sentence emphasizing on the word big no longer hiding from his sister's mocking he saw Emiko switch to her docile little girl side and started blushing. He then grabbed her hand and made his way to the door only turning to look at Liz behind him and stick his tongue out like he did when they were kids. Liz seeing that gasped and started tearing up as she heard the door close. As Nao moved over to her also tearing as they both started thinking the same thing. Their beloved little brother Matt was starting to act like he used to be before the accident. ***** Thank you all for reading this story and again I apologize for the errors.

Only the sounds of the wind blowing through the windows, the light tapping of Matt's fingers on the steering wheel. As the car made its last turn into the parking lot and was parked, Emiko slightly turned her head to look at Matt meeting an intense blue gaze that made her quickly look at her feet. Matt had to smirk at that seeing this sudden change in behavior from this strong but fragile looking woman. As Emiko went to grab the door handle her hand was lightly grasped by a larger one, as she looked back to her left she was then met this this time with a shake of a head from Matt as he headed out the door to open it for her. Never in Emiko's life has she been treated as such considering her lifestyle most treated her as a boss' daughter not as a woman who needed to be pampered. As they made their way to the back of the car Matt grabbed what looked like a matt out of the trunk and they made their way into the building. Emiko looked around seeing first the receptionist desk all pre-set and rugs we laid out accordingly. What caught her eye was the only light on in the back area that looked to be lead to the main room. As they both walked down the hallway towards the room Emiko's eyes flashed across hundreds of plaques and picture frames of medals hanging on the walls, along with a trophy case full near the main entrance where they first walked in. Matt soon brought her out of her focused inspections though as they made their way to the last door to speak. "All of those are mine and the plaques are made for every dojo I defeated, I thought after I returned the heirlooms I'd want proof so I had them made and had the dojo sensei sign them. Good for business." As Matt looks down at Emiko with a smirk he then winked and finished the thought they both had. "No I won't need you to sign for yours, your presence alone was far greater than all of the plaques I could ever put on this wall." This of course led to another blush from Emiko and a slight chuckle from Matt as he opened the door, and placed the matt in the center of the large room. He then went into s duffle bag that was placed in on the side of the room and began to strip off his clothing, leading to Emiko gasping and staring as Matt looked straight at her with an intense gaze. After he had finished he grabbed another rob which looked oddly like the one Emiko wore to fight Matt at the dojo. On quicker inspection as he walked up and handed it to her made her realize it was indeed that very one. She comically still had her mouth gaped open looking down at the robe and back up at Matt over and over a few times until it dawned on her what was expected and it caused yet another blush. Matt then went to defuse the situation not trying to scare the girl but much to his surprise and probably Emiko, she slowly started stripping off her clothing leaving every stitch at the bottom of her feet. Matt then gazed at this beauty that was standing in front of him, she has nice sized breasts in his eyes were perfect for her body not too big or small and very firm. Her body was slim and toned without a blemish with a small birthmark right on the top right just above the inside of her delicious thighs. As he slowly gazed downward he realized she was purposely delaying to dress it seemed as he spotted a small tuff of black curls between her thighs marking the spot he would love his head to be like before. Down her toned legs, and then back up her neck and leading the reddish tinge of her faced covered by her hands. Matt then stepped forward and grasped her hands held them to her sides as he looked into her eyes and kissed her then he made his way to a chair giving Emiko time to finish dressing. They were staring at each other now both breathing heavily and ready to pounce like two predatory cats stalking their prey. As Matt lounged at Emiko she quickly dodged but obviously not trying all that hard he quickly grasped her hands and slammed her back into the matt face up. Emiko repeatedly struggled but her eyes gave way to her lustful glare to Matt, gone was the shy girl now and back was the strong woman who got what she wanted. She needed a man right now to take and not give, that will be for another more romantic day. As Matt grabbed hold of her robe and ripped it open, Emiko gasping in the process as he placed his mouth over one of her hardened nipples and he kissed his way around it treasuring them both equally as if they were his meal in days which consisted of ripe bared fruit. He then made his way between her legs hearing her breathing quickening every inch closer as he licked and kissed all over plunging into her very core. He bucking and moaning music to his ears as only momentarily stopped to strip off his robe to gasp his erected cock. As he slowly made his way in gasping at the tightness her pussy possessed he went to then grasp her hands and slam them into the matt over top of her head as he gazed and met the gaze of an equally lustful partner, as he started his hard and eager thrusting. All that was heard for a while was the loud moans of Emiko and groans of Matt followed by muffled screams, they finished holding each other bodies meshed up tighter than ball of yarn. It took some time to gather themselves to get redressed which involved many stubbles, snickers and fits of laughter along the way. As they left the building heading to Matt's house to spend the night Emiko and Matt had time to gather their thoughts. Emiko had never experienced this before, having someone stronger than her but also caring and most importantly someone who shared deep life struggles that she could relate. Matt on the other hand had different thoughts, he wondered if he was ready to leave his emotional barrier. He wasn't ready to open up about that accident and its true nature yet. Only he knew about the truth and he alone has suffered through it. All he could hear in his head right now was his father's last words "I wasn't strong enough." He didn't say anything however as they made their way into his apartment which would hopefully be temporary until he had the business up and running so he could build a living area at the second floor. Matt had grasped Emiko's hand all the way to the kitchen where he kissed her and told her he'd be right back. That left Emiko to her thoughts and that turned to curiosity and mischievous thoughts. Emiko with a smirk headed the way to what she figured was Matt's bedroom, and started to strip laying herself on the bed spread for him hoping he'd like the surprise but she spotted something on the night table. It was a scrap book old and torn with water droplet stains on it. As she opened it she couldn't help but gasp, right on the first page was Matt and his family smiling back at her. She couldn't help but smile back as she flipped the pages over and over again to more pictures of what looked like vacations and graduation pictures, but then she saw it. One the page was two newspaper clippings one of a woman's murder of Maria Helmsley, Matt's mother and the other of a car accident 6 months later of Matt Helmsley his father. The newspaper stated that Maria's murder occurred near a street corner all for the muffin and coffee she was carrying. The accident Matt's father was involved in was a drunken driving incident. Matt senior was driving intoxicated and slammed into a pole dying two hours later in the hospital due to injuries. What caught Emiko's eye was the statement from some friends and family saying the amount he drank compared to usual was like drinking a glass of water and in no way would have affected his driving. Apparently the cop's thought differently and dismissed the case as such. Just as Emiko was closing the book and putting it away she felt a cold chill up her spine. As she turned her head towards the doorway she was met with the coldest eyes she had ever seen. Matt was in the doorway clenching his fists until he screamed at the top of his lungs "get out!!" Emiko stood there scared stiff for a moment until Matt threw her clothes hard right into her face knocking her out of her trance. She scurried to change doubtful she'd ever get dressed that fast again and ran toward the door glancing back briefly to appeal but only met with that glare and another scream. She left the place running towards a park only 10 minutes away and found a bench nearby. Thankfully it wasn't cold out and she had some money to call for a cab later and to book a hotel stay. She was shocked at the turn in events, how one minute she was almost living a dream the next a nightmare and all was because of her stupid curiosity. What was left out of her mind was there was more to blame Matt for but in her thoughts all she thought of was hers. As she grasped her phone out of her pocket and was ready to dial her hand was grasped again. Having a short moment of joy she looked up to gaze at Matt only to be met with a stranger. The one man had a grin that only showed trouble for her, the two that were behind him showed an even worse motive in their eyes licking their lips. As Emiko tried to fight the men she realized she was for ounce powerless the man holding her hand was big and caught her off guard and the others moved in to grasp her legs. She could only stand there and watch as the man staring at her produced a knife and started cutting down the front of clothes leaving her standing in the nude. Leaving the men to chuckle and spew out hurtful names to her. As she got an opening when the man let go of her hand to gasp her breast she chopped at his throat with all her might leaving him gasping for air only dodging slightly but she was still held by the other two. The man regained his composure before Emiko could struggle away and produced a gun she closed her eyes and heard the shot feeling blood all over her body and a pain in her chest. The struggle was over before it even began.
