Sam's date!

Wasting no time, she tosses both of her fans at Sam. They whirl around like buzzsaws and sever his other arm. The fans then bounce off a nearby wall and return to her. This round is looking bad for Sam...

Sam's nondescript ninja character bleeds its way over to the fan girl, its legs moving in a blur across the field. It kicks high, feinting at her face and getting her to attempt a block with her blade fans, but then he sweeps the leg instead, his foot turning to a blade briefly and taking off the fan girl's foot in the process.

Akina's ninja hops for a bit on her remaining leg and then begins to spin with her arms and fans outstretched like a whirling top. The fans cut into Sam's ninja, leaving wounds all over his body. The game shouts: "FINISH HIM!" and she ends up decapitating him and crushing his skull under her heel.

The game then shouts, "Round 2: FIGHT!"

Both ninjas appear to have had their bodies fully restored.

Sam's nondescript ninja quickly jumps high into the air, landing behind fan girl. It sweeps its arm upwards, and its hand briefly seems to turn to a blade which lops off fan girl's arm at the shoulder.
Blood spurts from the wound as the fan twitches on the ground.

The nondescript ninja does a little dance, which seems entirely innefectual.
It backs up from fan girl, and suddenly leaps in a straight line, feet first, horizontally across the battlefield, its body straight like a dart.
At the last moment, its feet momentarily turn to stone as they make contact with fan girl's knee.
There is a sickening crunch of bone, and her knee is bent in the wrong direction.

With one leg and one arm useless, Akina's ninja does a one legged dive at Sam's legs, severing one of them with her remaining fan and tripping him to the ground. She has a little difficulty, but manages to get up onto her foot again.

Akina pulls off an incredible turnaround, managing a 32 hit combo in which she destroys one of Sam's arms. This match is almost over....

Sam and Akina hop around each other, sizing each other up.
Suddenly, Sam's arm stretches towards Akina's face, entering her mouth and exiting the back of her skull, glinting like steel.
And then his steel hand expands to a spade shape, cleanly separating the bottom half of Akina's skull from the top, which falls to the ground.

Sam opens with a quick jab to the face. It hurts.

Akina is bleeding from her face. Sam catches some of the blood in his hand, dances to the far end of the battlefield, and flings the blood back at Akina. It turns to red icicles in the air, which slice through Akina's hands, which fall to the floor.

Sam's entire body glows, and he jumps higher than is visible in the game window.
It is just Akina standing there, for a few moments.
Suddenly, Sam comes shooting back into frame, the ninja completely transmorphed to stone, in a bellyflop position, falling directly down towards Akina and trailing flame behind him from the speed of his descent.
He makes contact with her, and blood shoots out from under the stone bellyflop into the ground.
Sam turns back to flesh and stands up. There is not even a sign of Akina's remnants remaining.

>>>>>> gg

With her defeat, Akina disconnects from the game.

Sam disconnects as well.

Sam emerges from the game to see Akina red faced and fighting back tears. "What don't you like about me? Am I not pretty enough? Tits too small? Not human enough? Is it my wheelchair? What, BD? WHAT? If you're not interested in me as a woman just tell me and I'll stop calling you."

"What do you mean?" Sam asks. "I like you. I said gg."

"Are you upset?" Sam asks. "You seem upset," Sam pulls up a face emotion chart and compares it to Akina.
"Yes," he says. "I think your face looks upset. Why are you upset? I was having fun."

Akina looks up at the ceiling and says, "I was offering myself to you and you turned me down flat. I thought that since you agreed to come to a love motel with me that you were interested in me, but what? Are you not interested in girls or something? I don't get it. Do you need me to draw you a picture?"

Sam screws up his face, trying to understand. "What do you mean? I did not turn you down. I am here with you to play games, like you said at the noodle shop. And," Sam blushes, and lowers his voice "I touched your boob while you were jacked in."

Akina says, "And you stopped there. So the only conclusions I can come to are that for some reason you didn't like what you saw, or you're not interested in girls. So why did you stop?"

Sam considers for a moment. A moment that is long enough to be noticeable.

Why did he stop? Well, mostly he just got bored and there were video games. But, why did he get bored? Is Akina right? Does he just not like girls? He's always assume that he does. But, boobs should have been more entertaining, shouldn't they?

The strain of introspection brings tears to Sam's eyes.

"I do not know," he wails. "It was the first time I have touched a boob. Or seen a boob. And it was a nice boob. But then there were video games..."

Akina sighs and says, "I'm sorry I got mad. Just a little frustrated here is all. I got so jealous when you said you had another date that maybe I came on a little strong. I wanted to be the girl you canceled other plans for. But now I've ruined everything..."

Sam tries to respond, but has trouble through his own tears. He pulls up some Towers of Hanoi. Just a quick round. Just enough to distract him from newly questioning his sexuality, and calm him enough to respond.

"Nothing... is... ruined..." he chokes out.

He tries to approximate a smile through his tears.

Akina says, "Kind of you to say, but I doubt you're in the mood to be doing anything intimate with me now. We still have the place for an hour though, so if you just want to play video games, that's fine. I don't want to put that bath to waste, so I'm gonna go soak in the tub and play some video games there to get my mind off how much I screwed up here. You can join me if you want or not. I promise not to be offended if you don't and won't try anything if you do."

She reaches into her cleavage and pulls out some datachips, placing them on the bed. "Those are yours," she says before heading towards the large bathroom, "You can pay me for them whenever is convenient."

Sam watches Akina roll into the bathroom, and spends a few moments of Towers of Hanoi to collect himself.

He checks the datachips that Akina left on the bed ((presumably the agent and the programs that Sam asked for, right?)). If just wiring money into Akina's account is something that Sam can easily do, he does it now. Otherwise, he'll bring the money on a credstick to their next training session.

Sam waits until the tub finishes filling, and then waits a little bit after that until he assumes that Akina will be jacked in to a game. He quietly pokes his head into the bathroom, hoping to see but not be seen.
