The Fox and The Rat Match.

"Well, time for this again." She thought as she sat in her corner.

She had always been known to be very hard headed when it came to this. People often told Sakura that she should learn to take it more easy, but she couldn't help it. When that bell started ringing it was like a switch inside of her got turned on, and all she could think about was to win.

Sitting there in her boxing corner the female Fox was preparing herself mentally as she looked over the opponent she was going to face.

Not that she needed to worry since she was in great shape, and when the one she was going to fight happen to be a very fat rat she felt even more confident in herself.

"Piece of cake." She said as she got up to meet him in the middle of the ring.

---

Getting up close she could see that she was about a foot smaller then him (and he had about 200 pounds more on his body then her), but this didn't change her mind at all.

She was going to take him down!

Looking him into the eyes she could already tell that he didn't have the same fire in them as she had, and she knew he was going to be an easy fight.

She didn't even pay attention to what the referee was saying. She was jus to focused on analysing her opponent's body.

Couldn't be called much of a threat to someone as well trained as her, especially with that big gut hanging over his shorts and his man boobs resting on top of it.

"Damn! I think this guy has even bigger breasts then me! He should be the one wearing the tank top." Sakura thought as she and the rat got ordered to back away a little bit, to prepare for the fight.

BING!

The bell rang, and the first round was on it's way!

Almost immediately after the round started Sakura ran up to give the rat a fast arrange of punches!

While he was able to block many of them, she still managed to send in a few strong ones into his fat chest and belly.

He was trying to be mostly on the defensive side so far, and that only made the Fox female want to go even harder on him!

"Why doesn't he try to attack me? Is he to scared or something?" She thought as she stopped her attacking for a short time, and saw how slowly he lowered his arms from his face.

"You know you are suppose to fight me back, right?" Sakura said, as she started to jump around a little and tried to make the rat hit her.

He still looked a little bit unsure of what he was doing, but he started to try and hit her with each of his massive boxing gloves. (To which Sakura was really quick to dodge.)

She was so quick in fact that first she dodged his left arm, and then she dodge hit right arm before he had even time to push out with that one. This resulted in her tossing her head straight into the left fist of the rat (That he hadn't had time to pull back yet.), and in the process gave herself a really bad headache!

---

"Oh! Sorry for that one! I didn't mean to hurt you that badly!" The big rat said, but Sakura had to much proud to show that she was wounded.

"I don't care what you intended to do! The important thing is that you are going down!" The foxy girl said, as she made a new attempt to attack him.

Despite her still feeling very dizzy in the head from the impact from earlier Sakura wasn't going to let that stop her, as she started charging towards her rat foe once again!

She was so over energetic about giving the rodent this punch that she was actually shouting loudly as she came running towards him!

This only made it easier for him jump to see side and dodge her attack, as she ran head first into the corner pole!

Taking now TWO blows to the head Sakura made a few wobbling steps backwards, before she tripped and ended up losing conscious in the ring!

All she could see before she was blacking out was the sound of the bell ringing off the round, and the referee calling the rat boxer the winner.

"I...lost...?" Sakura said before she passed out.

---

When she woke up again she couldn't believe what had happen.

The game was over, the audience had left, and she was being taken care of by the medics.

"Get off me! Let me back in the ring! I can still fight..." Sakura said as she was trying to break free from the 2 people taking care of her (And being to wounded at the moment to properly stand up.), when she saw someone that had come to visit her. The Rat boxer.

He was dressed in his civil clothes now, and he looked very concern over how she was doing.

"Are you feeling well?" He asked.

"Why do you care? You won over me. What else is there for you to get from it?" She asked back, still feeling a bit embarrassed over losing to him.

"I care cause I didn't want to end up hurting you." He said and took her hand. "I tried out boxing as a thing to simply try my strength, but it seems like you ended up giving yourself a pretty good beating without my help." He said and laughed a little over what a weird match it ended up being.

"True." Sakura said and also laughed a little bit. "I myself always went with that whole "Go Big or go Home" mentality, and when I saw you in the ring I couldn't help but only focusing on defeating you."

They both had a pretty good laugh about it, and then the Rat reached out one of his hands and says "My name is Francis, by the way."

"Sakura." The foxy gal said, as she reached back to him and took his hand shake.

After doing that she started to feel a little ill again, and had to lay down on her gurney again.

Feeling a little concern for her Francis put one of his massive hands carefully on Sakura's forehead, and said "You know. When you get better maybe you give me some training lessons? I could use some good tricks from someone as talented as you."

Seeing him in the eyes Sakura smiled and said "I would love to do that. See you next week." before giving him a quick wink as she was being taken to the local hospital.
