Chapter #6The Sumo Club by: Unknown Chie entered the school to find a large group of students standing around the bulletin board making quite a commotion. "What's going on," she asked a student.
"Apparantly there's some kind of a sign up for a new fighting club," he answered back.
Chie was struck silent by the news. For over a year she'd been trying to convince the school to open some kind of a fighting club and now it had finally happened. "Let me see, let me see," she said as she forced her way through. "What kind is it, karate, boxing, kendo?" She made it through the crowd and looked at the sheet on the wall with the announcement. "Sumo club?" she uttered as she read it. "What the, this isn't anything close to what I've been asking for."
"Sorry," said one of the students, "apparantly some of the teachers are big fans of the sport."
Chie huffed and puffed to herself while looking at the announcement. She knew she shouldn't have gotten her hopes up. "Well," she thought to herself, "I guess it is a legitimate fighting sport, plus if this club does really well, then maybe they'll add other sports." Chie hated the idea of joining the team, but if she ever wanted their school to have a real martial arts team she knew this one had to be a success. And the only way she could guaranty that would be if she joined.
She went to the try outs the next day and was handed her uniform. She went into the empty women's locker room and changed into the green sumo thong and tank top she had been given. As she looked herself over in the mirror she felt incredibly exposed and embarrassed. "They expect me to actually fight in this, the bikini Yosuke gave me was less revealing than this." She thought about leaving and going home, but she just kept repeating to herself, you're doing this so you can get a real martial arts team, you're doing this so you can get a real martial arts team.
She walked out of the locker room and stood in line with the rest of the students who were there to try out. She looked down the line and noticed that not only was she the only non-fat person there, she was also the only woman. The coach walked down the line, looking each student up and down until he got to Chie. "Um, are you sure you're suppose to be here," he asked.
"Yep, this is the sumo club right?" she answered back.
"Well yeah, it's just, well women compete in a different league than the men."
"Okay," she said not seeing where this was going.
The coach sighed and said, "Well, it's just that you're the only girl here. And we can't really have a team of just one person."
Chie was crushed, her only chance to get the teachers to start a legitimate fighting club and now it was gone. "Wait," she said as an idea popped into her head, "what if I can convince some other girls to join."
"Well sure, but we'd need at least three more of them before tomorrow's practice if we're going to register you as a team."
"Say no more," she said as she ran off to the locker room to change. The coach tried to speak to her, but when Chie put her mind to something, nothing could stop her.
And so she spent the rest of the day running all over the school and town trying to find every large female student from her school that she could. Unfortunately none of them wanted to join, no matter how much Chie begged them. In fact when she asked Hanako to join she barely escaped alive, apparantly it wasn't a good idea to tell Hanako she was fat to her face.
That night Chie sat at home wondering what she was going to do. She had to find three more girls before tomorrow or else she could kiss her dreams of the school adding more fighting teams goodbye. But Chie didn't know anymore big girls, in fact the only three other girls she hung out with were skinny. "Wait," she said, "I'm kind of thin and they're letting me join. Maybe they don't have to be fat to join the sumo team. And sure none of them are really skilled in hand to hand fighting, but I could train them." Chie knew what she had to do, the next day at school she had to ask her friends to join the team. But who should she ask first?   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
