She's a pretty fiesty girl. Even I don't know who she'll end up with. Perhaps someone like her? or maybe even someone completely different? Malaki and Yael are more like friendly sparring partners and will probably stay that way.

Chapter 5
Malaki stepped into the ring, "So... this Kanbok dude, is he good?". Yael shook her head, "He's a bit of a wimp really. I watched him win his last fight by judges’ decision. To be honest his best skill was being able to stay the distance. Not many Sligs with his strength can last 15 full rounds".
Malaki chuckled, "Your cocky attitude will be your downfall Yael!". Yael gasped and had a shocked expression on her face, "Oh! Like you're one to talk! You couldn't beat me yesterday and you never will!". Malaki laughed, "We'll see about that". Yael stepped into the ring.
Yael waited, "What are you waiting for Mal?". Malaki smiled, "The bell of course!". Yael looked around to see that Saffy wasn't here, she must be still asleep. Yael grinned, "Okay then". She placed her hand in the air, as if she was about to ring an imaginary bell. "Ding-Ding, can we start now?". Malaki chuckled, he hadn't had this much fun in a long time. He took a moment to compose himself and then entered his boxing stance.
Chapter 6
Yael moved closer, "Here I come". Malaki raised his hands, ready to block her jabs. Yael swung left, her hand hitting Malaki's left boxing glove. Malaki retaliated by punching her in the gut. Yael was surprised at how strong Malaki's punch was. She stepped back a bit, to catch her breath. She smiled and then moved closer.
She started punching Malaki's gut. Malaki was a bit too slow to react, only blocking the last two hits of her six. Malaki tried to punch Yael's jaw but she quickly ducked and swung her arm towards Malaki's back. Malaki went down on one knee. Malaki climbed back up, his legs slightly buckling under the weight. Yael swiftly moved closer and started attacking again. Malaki dodged some of the hits this time and landed some of his own. He tried a strong swiping punch to his left, but Yael noticed this. She ducked and gave him a hardy uppercut to the jaw. Malaki fell backwards and lay on his back for a few seconds afterwards.
Malaki was amazed at how strong Yael was. She had to be the strongest female Slig he knew, not to mention the strongest female boxer he had ever set eyes on. Yael giggled, "Let's take a break for now". Malaki nodded, "Okay". Malaki didn't want to say it, but he was well and truly beaten in every single way. 'I've got to keep going', he thought to himself, 'What kind of Slig am I if I give up this easily?'.
