Meredith Mason was nervously pacing in her bedroom Saturday morning. She was scheduled to take the test to earn her black belt next week, and she wasn't sure she was ready. It would be totally devastating if she failed the test and had to remain a brown belt. It wouldn't be the end of the world, but it certainly would be a set back in her mind. And that would be very hard for her to accept. So Meredith constantly paced and worried. She finally decided she needed someone to talk to to help her get passed the panic she was feeling. She wished that someone could be her boyfriend Greg. But he would only complicate things more then they already were. He had been trying to get her to quit karate ever since she enrolled in the classes. She loved Greg with all of her heart. But sometimes he could be such an asshole. And the subject of karate really brought out the worst in him. So he was definitely not the answer.

The logical choice to help her get passed the anxiety attack she was having would be her best friend Kristen Long. Kristen was the only one that truly knew what she's going through. She easily passed her test and became a certified black belt a few months ago. So Meredith grabbed the phone and got Kristen on the line. As she suspected, her best friend agreed to come right over. Kristen always came to the rescue when Meredith was in a moment of crisis. Just as she was always there when Kristen needed assistance with a problem. They had been that way since grade school. Neither one of the two best friends had ever let the other one down. They felt more like sisters then friends.

Kristen was there in a flash. The two girls returned to Meredith's bedroom for privacy. "OK girl, tell me what's wrong." Kristen asked. "It's my test for the black belt coming up next weekend. I'm not sure I'm ready. And it has me worried sick." Meredith replied wringing her hands. "You're ready Meredith. I've watched you in practice. You have the moves down pat. You won't have any trouble passing the test. I totally guarantee it girl." Kristen assured her. " "I don't know Kristen. I feel like my kicks aren't high enough. And I don't think my strikes have enough power behind them. Even Greg says so." "GREG?" Kristen yelled. "You know he's not going to give you any support. So why would you listen to him. He's always wanted you to quit karate. Trust me Meredith, you're ready." But Meredith wasn't convinced. So Kristen came up with a plan to help relieve her best friends worries.

"Look Meredith. If you're really that worried about it, I'll help you. We can practice the rest of this weekend, and every night if you want to. I've been through the experience, so I pretty much know what they'll expect from you. We can work on your kicks and your strikes, and anything else you feel is weak. By test time, you'll be full of confidence and breeze right through it. How does that sound?" Her friend asked with a smile. "Kristen, you're a life saver. I knew I could count on you. Thank you my friend." Meredith happily replied. "Hey. That's what best friends are for. So let's get started. Tell me what you want to work on first." "Hold on girl. It's really a beautiful day outside. Let's put on a bikini and practice out there. I've got several, so pick out the one you want." Meredith said with a smile.

Kristen chose the pink string bikini. It looked fabulous on her nicely curved 5 foot 5 inch 118 pound body. It set off her blond hair and sparkling blue eyes perfectly. Meredith decided on the red string bikini. It matched her dark brown hair and deep brown eyes just right. And her 5 foot 2 inch 111 pound finely shaped female body looked terrific in it. The two sixteen year old girls were giggling like grade school children when they ran down the stairs and charged out the back door. Kristen turned out to be a good teacher as well as a great friend. Meredith followed her instructions and was very satisfied with the results. Her confidence in herself rapidly grew with each completed maneuver. Things were moving along splendidly and the two friends were having a great time. Until Greg showed up.

The two girls turned when they heard the back door close and saw Greg walking down the steps. Meredith lit up with a smile when she saw her boyfriend, but a frown quickly covered Kristen's beautiful face. "Hey babe. You look fantastic in that red bikini. Come here and give your man a hug." Greg told Meredith. She happily skipped over and embraced him. Greg ran his hands over her flawless skin and got a hungry look in his eye. "Let me show you the moves Kristen taught me Greg. They're simply awesome." Meredith said. But Greg didn't want to let her go. Her nearly naked body pressed up against his was really turning him on. The last thing he wanted to see was Meredith preforming her stupid karate moves. He wanted to fuck. And he wanted to fuck right now.

"Forget it Meredith. I don't want to see any of that crazy karate shit. I don't know why you insist on learning that crap anyway. You don't need it babe. You have me to protect you." He said with pride. "You won't always be around Greg. I may end up in a situation where I'll be alone and have to protect myself. Besides, I like learning karate and you know it. Why can't you be supportive Greg? I would think you would be glad I could take care of myself if I ever needed to." She replied sulking. "Come on babe, be realistic. Just because you can jump around like a kangaroo and flap your arms like a chicken, doesn't mean you can handle yourself against some big guy. That karate bullshit won't help you one bit."

Kristen really got annoyed over that statement and spoke up. "Karate is one of the oldest forms of combat Greg. It's proven itself over the years to be a very effective weapon against a much larger opponent. Karate has saved many lives and helped many women stop an attacker from robbing and or raping her. And Meredith happens to be very good at it. Why don't you try encouraging her for a change instead of trampling on her dreams." She angrily told him. Greg looked at her a snarled. He didn't like Kristen at all. She was always filling Meredith's head with foolish notions. And Meredith was gullible enough to go along with them because they were friends. It irritated him that his girl friend listened to Kristen more then she listened to him. He was sick and tired of Kristen coming between him and Meredith. She was nothing but trouble.

"Karate is old alright. I'll give you that. But an effective weapon against someone my size is absolutely ridiculous. If I wanted to rape Meredith, there's no way she could stop me with that fucking karate shit. I'm a foot taller and over a hundred pounds heavier. All that kicking and chopping bullshit wouldn't stop me at all. So butt out Kristen. This is between me and my girl friend." Then he turned to Meredith. "In fact, why don't you send her packing babe. Seeing you in that red bikini has made me horny as hell. Send her ass home so you and me can have ourselves a little fun. I can't wait to get my hands on you." He told her with a leering grin. That really pissed Kristen off.

"You're nothing but an egotistical bastard Greg. The only one you ever think about is yourself. Meredith is really proud of what she learned today. But when she wants to show you so you can be proud of her too, all you can say is forget it Meredith. I want to fuck. I don't know what the hell she sees in you. You're conceited, self centered, and a complete asshole. Frankly, you make me sick." She said angrily. Greg whirled on her with darts shooting from his eyes. "You better watch your mouth bitch. Or I'll show you just how useless your fucking karate is. So you best shut the fuck up, before I kick your ass all over this yard." "Bring it on tough guy. Nothing would make me happier. I would love to teach you a lesson." She responded. They stared at each other hatefully.

Then a large smile appeared on Greg's face when an idea occurred to him. This was his chance to rid himself of Kristen, and force Meredith to give up her precious karate. "I tell you what bitch. Since you think your fucking karate is the Holy Grail, I'll prove to you it's worthless against a guy my size. I challenge you to a fight. If I win, you get the fuck out and stay away from Meredith permanently. And she gives up learning karate forever. Is it a deal? Or have you changed your mind about karate being so fucking great?" He asked with an evil grin. Kristen was perfectly willing to accept his challenge. But Meredith had a stake in this battle of the sexes as well. So she turned to her to see what she had to say.

Meredith knew Kristen could take Greg because of her karate training. So she had no objections to Kristen accepting his challenge. "Go ahead Kristen, I have complete confidence in you." She told her best friend. Kristen looked at Greg. "What happens if I win? What will you give up? She asked. "I don't know. What ever you want. Because I'm not going to lose." Greg said confidently. Kristen thought for a second before replying. "If I win, you stop nagging Meredith about learning karate. And you'll support her every step of the way." She answered. Then Meredith jumped in with her two cents worth. She thought she might as well get something out of this that Greg had flatly refused to do the whole time they had been together.

"I have a stipulation too. If Kristen wins, you will go down on me like I've asked you to do at least a hundred times. Is it a deal?" She asked smiling. "YUK! You know I think that's gross. Come up with something else babe." He answered disgustingly. "If you're so sure you'll win, what do you have to worry about Greg. Those are our terms. Now do you accept or not?" Meredith asked standing her ground. Greg didn't need time to decide. He would finally get Kristen out of his hair and Meredith out of karate for good. And there wasn't any fucking way he could lose a fight with Kristen. His 6 foot 2 inch 219 pound frame should easily take her out in a minute or two. So he didn't have anything to lose. "It's a deal. Let's get it on bitch. I have better things to do. Like fucking my girl friend while you drag your beaten ass out of here for good." He replied with a confident smile.

The two opponents squared off. The beautiful Kristen with her well developed body wearing only a pink string bikini and barefoot. Against Greg's bulky muscular frame dressed in jeans and a T shirt with motorcycle boots covering his feet. It looked like a total mismatch. His taller, larger, more muscular male frame towered over her petite female body. There size difference reminded Meredith of the David and Goliath story she learned in Sunday school when she was younger. But there wasn't a bit of concern on her beautiful face. Greg was tough and very good with his fists. She had watched him in several fights and he always emerged victorious. But her confidence in Kristen's abilities was unwavering. Kristen's karate was excellent. She was capable of handling Greg with ease. Meredith waited with anticipation.

Greg wasted no time. The sooner he put this bitch in her place and out of their lives, the sooner he got Meredith in the sack where he wanted her. He attacked like a mad man. His muscular arms were slinging bone breaking punches at an alarming rate. Kristen kept her cool. She easily avoided or blocked each and every one of his hard thrown blows. Greg didn't let the little set back detour him from his mission. He stepped up his effort to put the blond bitch on the ground and finish her. But Kristen continued to foil his plans. Her finely tuned body danced around his crazed attempts while she wore a sweet smile on her face. Meredith watched her best friend and boyfriend go at it with extreme excitement. In a way, they were fighting over her. And that made her feel proud.

Greg stopped his all out attack to conserve his energy. He began throwing calculated punches for maximum effect. But he still wasn't connecting with anything. Because Kristen's defensive skills were outstanding. It was beginning to irritate him that he couldn't land a single punch. Kristen on the other hand was enjoying herself. Her plan was working perfectly. She had ample opportunities to retaliate when she avoided or blocked his hard thrown punches. But she wanted to prove to Greg that karate could be used as a defensive weapon as well as an offensive. She knew he would get angry and exasperated when his pile driving punches failed to produce any results. It also would shake his confidence and make him feel incompetent. Then she would take over with authority.

Greg threw a monstrous right cross but Kristen easily swatted it away. His battering ram left hook was blocked as well. When he fired a one two combination and got them slapped down like they were nothing but a pesky nuisance, he really got angry. The blond headed bitch was making him look like a fool. And that didn't sit well with the muscular young man. His anger grew with each missed punch until it was boiling over. His handsome face became a mask of hatred. A growl from deep in his throat came out of his mouth to match his angry red face. And his barrel like chest pumped up to enormous size because of the fury flowing through his body. All three things together made him resemble a crazed animal in a killer frenzy. Which is exactly what it had come down to. He no longer wanted to just beat Kristen, he wanted to maim her for life.

When Greg got four more thunderous punches deflected by Kristen's fast moving arms, he completely lost it. Growling like an angry lion, he leaped on Kristen to take her down. Once he had her on the ground, he planned on turning her into a badly beaten and bloody mess. But Kristen was fully prepared for him to change tactics. As soon as he leaped and reached out to grab her, she snatched his right wrist in her left hand and used his great bulk against him. Before Greg knew what was happening, he was flying head over heels off of her slender hip. "SLAM!" He hit the ground hard and lie there in a daze. Kristen backed off smiling. "Nice try asshole. But I'm afraid you're going to have to do much better then that if you expect to win this battle of ours. Now get your ass up." She ordered.

Greg jumped to his feet and charged like an angry bull. Kristen snapped her right leg forward in a front kick, and nearly caved his chest in when the sole of her foot landed. "WHAM!" Greg was sent back pedalling about six feet before he could stop himself. He was rubbing his sore chest while he advanced on his hated enemy. Kristen took a fighting stance and waited for the fool to engage her. Greg chucked three body damaging blows as hard as he could. The blond female gladiator dodged the first two before blocking the third with her arm. Then her left arm shot forward like it was spring loaded. "WHAM!" Her palm slammed into his chest on the same spot she kicked him. As soon as it landed, her right palm flew up like it was shot out of a cannon. "WHAM!" It caught him flush on the chin and snapped his head back.

While Greg was distracted and in pain, the blade of her right foot plowed into the side of his face with a perfectly executed arc kick. "WHAP!" Greg flopped to the ground like an anvil. "It's to bad all of my kicking and chopping bullshit isn't stopping you one bit. I'm really beginning to worry big boy." Kristen told the male fighter lying at her feet. Meredith couldn't stop herself from laughing at her friends sarcastic remark. Greg climbed to his feet and went at her. When he was in range, he tried to kick the mouthy bitch between her legs to shut her up. Kristen casually stepped to her left and latched on to his leg when he missed. The two girls were uncontrollably giggling while they watched Greg hop around on one foot trying to keep his balance.

Without warning, Kristen used her left foot to sweep his left leg out from under him. "SLAM!".."BAM!" Greg landed hard on his back and his head bounced off of the ground. He lie there rapidly blinking his eyes to try and stop the world from spinning. He had an enormous head ache and was dizzy as hell. "Get up hot shot. There's no rest periods allowed in this fight. You can rest after I've taught you a lesson and you're lying at my feet unconscious." "NOW GET UP!" She sternly commanded. Greg struggled to his feet. His vision was blurry and his head was pounding like a drum. He was unable to offer any resistance when Kristen grabbed his right wrist.

With a firm grip on his wrist, Kristen turned her fine looking body in a circle while cranking his arm around. When the maneuver was finished, his arm was stretched straight out at his side and painfully twisted. Then she threw her gorgeous right leg in the air and hooked her lower calf behind his neck. She suddenly pulled down on her leg while lifting his arm in the air behind him. Greg was flipped over and landed hard on his back again. "SLAM!" Kristen kept control of his twisted arm and placed her right foot across his throat. "Ive got you now big boy. This is going to hurt." She pressed down with her foot and roughly twisted his arm further. "UURRRRGGGHHHHHHH!" A gurgling sound escaped his trapped throat.

"Do you still think karate is useless against someone your size hot shot? So far I've completely made a fool out of you while you haven't landed a single punch. I would say the overwhelming evidence is stacked in my favor that karate is highly qualified as an effective form of self defense. But I'm sure you'll need more convincing because you're hard headed and stubborn. That suits me just fine. I've wanted to beat some sense into you since the first time I met your selfish ass. Fortunately you were stupid enough to give me the chance." She explained to the pinned male fighter. Still holding his twisted arm, Kristen removed her foot from his throat and reached down to grab a hand full of his hair with her left hand. Then she hauled the muscular young man to his feet.

"Playtime is over wimp. Now I'm going to show you how effective karate can be against a larger opponent." She turned loose of Greg's arm and stepped in front of him. While he stood there shaking his arm to get some feeling back in it, Kristen invited him to attack her with both hands. "Come and get me bad boy. Show me how big and strong you are. This is your chance to get me out of your life for good. So don't waste it. Use those hard muscles of yours to take me out." She taunted. Her ploy worked. Greg stepped up to club her with a teeth shattering hay maker and shut her taunting mouth. But he didn't get the chance to throw it. Kristen was a whirling pink blur of motion when she went into action. Greg was caught off guard and was completely defenseless against her fierce attack.

Kristen turned her shapely body and snapped a side kick to his stomach. "WHAM!" As soon as it landed, she reloaded and slammed another vicious side kick to his chest. "WHAM!" She recoiled her gorgeous leg a third time and planted a solid side kick to his exposed face. "WHAP!" All three kicks were delivered in about two seconds. Greg was sent stumbling back a few steps, which gave her enough room to use her devastating roundhouse kick. She whipped her feminine body around and smashed her foot into his temple. "WHAP!" Greg left his feet and sailed through the air before he sprawled to the ground near the back of the house. He was so out of it from the three kick combination, he didn't realise Kristen had picked him up to do further damage. "SLAM!" She slammed him against the wall.

Kristen faced her groggy adversary and slightly spread her feet. Then the female warrior used both hands to finish off the muscular male. "WHAM!" Her right palm struck his chest. "WHAM!" The left palm strike landed over his right eye. "WHAM!" Another palm strike over his left eye. "WHAM!" That strike shattered his nose. "WHACK!" A karate chop to the side of his neck. "WHACK!" A chop to the other side of his neck. "WHAM!..WHAM!" Both palms struck his ears simultaneously. Bells began ringing in his head. "WHACK!" An elbow strike to his jaw. "SMACK!" A left cross to his eye. "WHAM!" A knee to his unprotected stomach. "WHACK!" The finishing karate chop to the back of his neck, dropped the beaten male at her feet. He was completely out cold.

Meredith ran over and congratulated her best friend for the unbelievable display she just put on. "THAT WAS AWESOME!" "Way to go Kristen. You were absolutely terrific. That should prove to him that karate is well worth learning. He never laid a finger on you the entire time. While you beat and kicked him all over the yard. And eventually knocked his ass out. Just look at him, he's sleeping like a baby." Meredith said gleefully. "Thanks Meredith. You could have handled him just as easily. Your karate is just as good as mine. So stop worrying about your test. You're going to pass with flying colors. Now lets wake sleeping beauty up and make him admit karate is worth your time to learn it." "And make him pay up on the bets." Meredith said with a sly grin.

The two girls rousted Greg from his karate induced nap and helped him sit up. "Now do you see why I want to learn karate Greg? Anyone trying to hurt or molest me will quickly find out I'm not an easy target. And knowing I can protect myself makes me more confident and proud of who I am. Do you understand?" Meredith asked her defeated boyfriend. "Yes Meredith, I understand." He responded. "Then you will support her from now on like you promised?" Kristen questionably asked. "Yes I'll support her." Greg said shaking his dizzy head. "Good. Then something positive came out of this." Kristen replied. "That's not the only good thing that came out of this. Come on Greg sweetie. Let's go to my room so you can pay up on the other half of our bet." Meredith said excitedly.

Greg made a distasteful face. "Look. I'll support you while you learn karate. But I'm not going to eat your pussy. That's just plain disgusting." Greg announced to Meredith. "HEY! You promised Greg. You're not going to back out now." Meredith angrily replied. "I don't care what I promised. That's out of the question. I refuse to do something that sick." He emphatically told her. "Get your ass up and get in that house Greg. Or I'm going to give you a good beating myself for backing out on your promise. Now move it." Meredith commanded her lying boyfriend. "You must be kidding. Just because I lost to Kristen, don't get it in your head that you can take me babe. You're way to small. Now drop it before you get hurt." Greg threatened.

Meredith Mason

Meredith climbed to her feet with a very pissed off look on her beautiful face. "Back up Kristen. This is between me and him." She told her friend. Then she turned to Greg. "Get your lying ass up boy. I'm not going to allow you to break a promise to me and get away with it. Now get up or I'll stomp you right there on the ground." Greg got to his feet with a look of regret. "This is ridiculous Meredith. I don't want to hurt you. Now stop this foolishness." Meredith took a fighting stance and sneered at him. "Shut up and fight Greg. I'm going to beat you like a dog for lying to me. Now put up your fist and keep your mouth shut you lying bastard." Greg saw no other way to stop her craziness. He raised his fist and squared his massive shoulders. "OK babe. You asked for".. "WHAM!" That's as far as he got before the sole of her foot blasted him in the chest and sent him tumbling to the ground.

Now Greg was angry. "You just made the biggest mistake of your life." He said as he got up. Then he attacked, hoping to take her by surprise. But Meredith was alert and ready. She blocked three hard thrown punches and then retaliated with confidence. "SMACK!" The straight right hurt his eye. "THUD!" Her fist strike caught him just under the sternum. "WHACK!" The cross body karate chop landed on the right side of his neck. "WHACK!" Another cross body chop smashed into his jaw. "WHAM!" The front kick struck him with the power of a kicking mule and sent him reeling back. Meredith went right after him. Greg threw a roundhouse with mean intentions when he got his footing. Meredith easily dodged it and slammed her knee into his exposed stomach. "WHAM!" Then her downward karate chop cracked the back of his neck and nearly took his head off. "WHACK!" Greg dropped like a lead weight.

"Get up damn you. I'm not through yet." She ordered. Greg leaped to his feet. He was determined not to lose a fight with his much smaller girl friend. The humiliation of it would be to overwhelming to live with. But the poor young mans boxing skills were not even close to being a match for Meredith's karate training. "WHAP!..WHAP!..WHAP!..WHAP!" Meredith landed four side kicks to his face in secession. Each one drove him back a few steps, forcing her to hop forward on her left leg to keep up with him. The four resounding kicks left him off balance and completely vulnerable. "WHAP!" Meredith finished her relentless attack with a spinning roundhouse kick that knocked him clean out of his shoes.

Greg flew like a bird and rolled six feet after he hit the ground. Meredith stalked over to his splayed out, groaning body. She dragged him to his feet and held him steady. "You'll never go back on another promise you make me. "WHACK!" Her elbow strike badly bruised his cheek. "Lying is one thing I will not tolerate from you." "WHACK!" The karate chop slammed into his temple. "How can I trust you when I know you're a liar?" "WHAM!" She drove her fist into his chest with all of her power. "So truth better be the only thing I hear coming out of your mouth." "WHACK!" Another chop to the side of his neck. "Because if I catch you lying to me again." "WHAM!..WHAM!" A double knee strike to his sore stomach. "I'll beat you within an inch of your miserable life. "CRRRACK!" The exploding uppercut dumped his unconscious body at her feet.

Meredith grabbed his hair and left arm and jerked him up to his knees. Then she roughly shook his battered head until his droopy eyes came open. "Have I made myself clear asshole? Or do you need further persuasion?" She sternly asked. Greg was nearly in tears. His entire body hurt from the terrible beatings he had received at the hands of the two female fighters. He was done for. Beaten into submission. Scared to death Meredith would continue pounding him if he didn't give up. He was left with no other choice but to obey her commands. "YES! IT'S CLEAR MEREDITH!" He screamed in fear. "Please stop hurting me. I can't take anymore. You win Meredith. You win." He pleaded.

"That's much better. From now on you'll do what ever I tell you. You lost all of your privileges when you lied to me. We are no longer equals. I'm the boss in this relationship. Have you got that wimp?" She asked while she pulled his head back to look in his fearful eyes. "Yes Meredith. You're the boss. I understand completely." He whimpered. "Good boy. Don't ever forget it. Or you'll get another severe beating. If I catch you lying again or trying to break a promise, you'll get another severe beating. If you don't come right away when I summon you, you'll get another severe beating. If you don't show me the respect I deserve, you'll get another severe beating. Are you beginning to get the picture wimp?" She asked. "Yes Meredith." He pitifully whined. "Good boy. Now, let's take care of some unfinished business.

"Kristen. Would you come here please." Meredith asked her best friend. Kristen strolled over to them with a large smile on her pretty face. "Turn around please." Meredith said when she reached them. Kristen turned around with a questionable look. Meredith yanked his head back again so she could look Greg in the eyes. "Apologise to Kristen for all the ridiculous things you said about karate." She ordered him. Fear enveloped Greg when he saw the look in her cold brown eyes. He knew refusing would get him another terrible beating. "I'm sorry for what I said about karate Kristen." He said nearly in tears. "Good boy. Now kiss her ass for showing you the truth about karate." Meredith commanded. His tears let loose. "OH GOD! PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME DO THAT MEREDITH!" He loudly begged. "DO IT GREG! OR ELSE! She answered.

Sobbing his heart out, Greg gently placed his lips on Kristen's ass cheek and kissed it. Meredith jerked his head over to her crack and shoved his face in deep. "Right there you little wimp. Now obey me." She sternly commanded. Both girls giggled when they heard his slobbering kisses. "OOOOOOO." "That tickles." Kristen said with an evil grin. Meredith laughed and pulled his face out of her crack. "Now. We're going to my room and take care of your promise. Don't worry if you don't perform adequately. You'll have plenty of chances to practice until you get it right. Because you're going to go down on me anytime I feel the urge. Am I making myself clear Greg? She asked the beaten male. "Yes Meredith." He replied with a sinking heart. "Good boy. I'm glad we understand each other. Now get up." Greg rose to his feet sobbing.

"Excuse us Kristen. We have some business to take care of. Come back tomorrow so we can practice some more. OK?" Meredith asked her best friend. "You bet girl. Have fun in there." She answered smiling. "Oh I plan to." Meredith replied. Kristen watched as Meredith grabbed Greg by the scruff of his neck and dragged him towards the back door. She could still hear him crying when they entered the house. She walked out the back gate and started for home. Meredith is going to ace that test next Saturday. I knew she had it in her. Kristen said to herself. Happy for her best friend and her new dominate demeanor, Kristen smiled as she jogged down the walk.
