(((Sorry, the last line of my previous post was colored wrong. It was meant to be Sinclair saying that and I've since corrected it)))
About as soon as Katsura mentioned "boyfriend" the two quickly snapped back,
"We're not dating!" "We're not dating!"
See, Sinclair? I told you that they thought we were dating! My gut feeling was correct!
"Whatever. Anyway That Guilmon is my best friend. What is it with you guys assuming that just because a girl and a guy like to hang out a lot and enjoy each others company doesn't mean we're romantically involved.
...he's also being serious about me fighting your digimon..."

Katsura was more annoyed than surprised to find out that That Guilmon was serious, however their frustration over being mistaken for lovers hardly went unnoticed. (Interesting reaction, seems like I found her weak point. I'll keep that in mind. Well since fighting is inevitable, I might as well get the most out of it.) As Katsura was at the hotdog stand, she stalled just enough by pretending to be indecisive with her money. (OOC: I request an overview of the hotdog stand: Katsura is thinking like a burglar atm and scans for weak points such as ways to sneak in and the cash register). Then Katsura "realized" what was going on and before That Guilmon could react to the money, Katsura retracted them. Katsura gave Nyao a questioning look, the glare Nyao sent Sinclair was enough content Katsura needed to proceed. "What's in it for us if we win?"

(((I wouldn't think Kat would be at the restaurant unless she teleported. But I should have been more clear, they are a good distance from it. Not so far that it wouldn't be see, but far enough that Lilly or the others wouldn't come out because they overheard what's happening.
The Mobile restaurant is about the size of a good sized trailer (I have no set measurements). Also Kat isn't going to be stealing any money. Not with the 4 digimon who live in the thing.)))
That rubbed his hands, pondering something. Sin simply crossed her arms... she admired the guy's interactions with others but sometimes it gets the both of them in trouble.
"Well, I wouldn't want to make this a betting match. You have nothing to give." That spared Kat and Nyao the other reason. That wasn't comfortable on betting on Sinclair to win. She could very well lose because ever since she was nearly killed she was limited to her rookie form, and was a bit less powerful. It was part of the reason she would be stressed out at times.
Still, this would be a good way for Sinclair to vent her frustrations. And he might as well commit to getting a fight started. No way to turn back now.
"How about this... You beat Sinclair, I buy you lunch. She beats you, I buy your shoes and socks. Which you could use to buy food too. But you'll have no shoes or socks."
"Her shoes and socks?"
"It was either that or I make her bald.
If you fight me and last long enough, I'll buy you lunch, dinner, and I will convince them to let you stay for the night. Maybe breakfast if I like you enough.
How's that?"

Nyao was still upset over That Guilmon's insults to Katsura, the prospect of getting to wipe the smile off of That Guilmon was something she looked forward to. Nyao tried to look fierce, which would probably be more effective if she wasn't just a salamon, "I'll show you what happens when you hurt Katsura! You.." Katsura realized that whatever Nyao was about to say could ruin the mood, thus Katsura automatically cut her off with her hand. "A 'yes' will do." After being forced by Katsura to calm down and think before talking, Katsura removed the hand. Nyao breathed out, being relativity calm she spoke again, "Fine, I'll fight you Guilmon" Katsura took a look at That Guilmon, though Katsura could safely hide her emotions she was worried for Nyao. "Really, are you sure?" Nyao looked wilful at Katsura, "Please, let me do this for you!" Nyao pleaded Katsura shrugged, she tried to look exhausted but a tiny smile started to grow on Katsura's face as she looked at Nyao. It was clear that Katsura's willpower was diminishing. "You're so annoying, fine. Remember, you don't have to win, just do your best." Nyao nodded as she turned to That Guilmon (Nyao, you're the best friend that could ever bring me in trouble)

"What... That... did you just try to force me to fight a stranger and then took my fight from me?"
That shrugged. Perhaps he made his fight a bit too appealing to the others.
"Sorry, sometimes I lose handle on things, you know? Hey, I know what'll cheer you up, best friend!"
That raised his hands up, excited to reveal his plan to Sinclair before she interrupted him. "Just worry about your fight... I'll be find..."
The Petitmamon sighed before sitting against a nearby tree, crossing her arms.
"As for you, Nyao... who said I was going to hurt your human? I mean... on a humbug that is. I wasn't going to just... hurt either of you unless you tried to steal from my family.
That just won't fly."

"Sorry, sometimes I lose handle on things, you know?" Katsura sighed overbearingly, "I think I can relate." Katsura let that reply hanging in the air with no interest of elaborating. As Nyao heard That Guilmon imply that he would harm her (without reading into that, Katsura would have to shoplift) she's was about to say something back when Katsura sent her a stern look. "Save it for the fight". "Fine." Without further ado Nyao ran back into the clearing, still glaring at That Guilmon. Leaving Katsura to awkwardly smile at That Guilmon, "No offense taken, I know how it was meant. Well, I better get ready then, nice talking to you." Katsura then ran after Nyao. After talking a little without That Guilmon to hear. Katsura waved That Guilmon closer.

That crossed his arms, waiting for the others to get ready. His arms remained crossed when Kat waved him over, walking over to them as he looked at Nyao glaring back at him.
"You look as if you have an issue with me." His tone almost sounded serious, but there was a hint of playfulness about it. Of course That had known Nyao had taken issue with him already.
"Fine then... allow me... to make the first blow!"
That inhaled and then... blew air out of his maw. Making obvious wind noises.
"Prepare *wheewwwww* for a whirlwind *wheeeewwwww* of pain! *Fwooooosh*!"

Nyao had anticipated something large to come out from That Guilmon but all that came out was a steam of air. Katsura didn't react much to the 'attack', due to her calculating nature she didn't even consider the fight started given that there was no attack yet. The pun however, was noticed by Katsura: "That attack blows"
Nyao on the other hand saw it as a provocation for her to start the actual battle. Nyao no longer felt the need to pretend not to be frustrated at That Guilmon, she also inhaled but at a much faster rate. A white glow started coming out from Nyao's mouth but it was quickly dyed purple. Nyao yelled "Angry paw!" A beam came out of Nyao. Nyao aimed her mouth a little high so it would hit the chest of That Guilmon and counter a jump; not too high to duck and not too low to jump. Truly, neither Katsura or Nyao anticipated that the beam would actually hit its target though it would make them happy to be proven wrong. More likely, Katsura hoped it would keep That Guilmon at distance and maybe get him to show off his skills rather than just joking around. Nyao mostly wanted to demonstrate her power and let out her frustrations.

As strange as That was, he did know what he was doing. He wanted to provoke his opponent a bit. While unsure about her exact response, a distance attack was a potential outcome he expected. Appropriate evasive maneuvers were performed, That rolling to the side and making sure he always kept an eye on Nyao as he quickly got back onto his feet.
Not to say the beam was far off from its mark, as it nearly hit him.
But That decided to make his approach, running at a brisk pace, not unlike a raptor, keeping a low profile
Sinclair only watched, silently cheering for her friend, but also wishing that she still had her power from before. As time went on, more and more she felt bad she was unable to fight on That's level. Not to say he was the greatest fighter, but she was his ally.

Seeing that the beam almost hit the target was a pleasant surprise for both Katsura and Nyao, especially Nyao who smiled proudly. That Guilmon isn't the only one who knows provoking tricks, Katsura decided to joke back. Katsura was well-aware that most people find her socially awkward and had no qualms playing along in that role for a scheme. Katsura looked at Guilmon as if she was deeply impressed by his evasive skills, "Wow, your girlfriend must be so proud!" Katsura made an effort in coming out to That Guilmon as slow-witted as possible. Katsura hoped that if That Guilmon had to waste time on correcting Katsura, he would have a harder time focusing on fighting Nyao.
Now that That Guilmon was fast approaching Nyao took a glance at Katsura. Katsura swung her hand around as if she was drawing a circle on the ground. Nyao nodded, the closer That Guilmon tried to get to Nyao the more she ran around him in a circle keeping the distance the same.
Nyao was prepared to shift between clockwise and counter-clockwise as she saw necessary and kept looking at That Guilmon. The overall goal of that act seemed to be to literally stay right behind That Guilmon as well as maintaining the distance between them forbidding him from getting closer. Being an exceptionally fast Salamon would certainly come in handy here.

"My friend is not proud!"
Sinclair shrugged.
"See?"
That didn't seem overly distracted, however. As much as he didn't like Sinclair being called his girlfriend it was going to take more than that to distract him.
That being said, that Salamon was quick on her feet, and small to boot. With That being far larger he knew well enough to not commit to any big movements. An errant claw slash would leave him too open.
In any case, Nyao was playing keepaway for the moment. But That wanted the fight to be more his speed. And as Lilly has taught him, controlling the fight is very important.
The chase was halted with That running off away from Nyao, ducking behind a tree, before moving onto another one and climbing it, making full use of his claws and talons to scale the moderately thick tree.
"My mom's a cat! Behold my cat skills!"
Well, he isn't wrong.

While Nyao and That Guilmon played cat and mouse, Katsura did her best to keep up. Once That Guilmon decided to climb the trees, Katsura took close notice at not only the trees but also the voices of the leaves. That Guilmon being talkative did not do much for stealth either. Meanwhile the moment That Guilmon started running away from Nyao, Nyao took another glance at Katsura who responded to the look by pointing on the tree That Guilmon decided to climb. Then Katsura moved her hand sideways slapping an invisible fly, again Nyao nodded.
By the instructions from Katsura it really helped out Nyao in keeping up the chaise, once That Guilmon disappeared into the trees, Katsura instantly pointed out which tree and his smell and voice confirmed it. By the gestures of Katsura, Nyao decided to double the distance between her and That Guilmon, more precisely the tree that Guilmon was climbing. Still Nyao kept circling around the tree while looking straight at That Guilmon. That Guilmon may have changed the location but Katsura was still confident that circle strafing was the most reliable strategy for her to control the fight. It also suited Nyao to know that shooting fire while sitting in a tree in the middle of a forest seemed like an extremely bad idea; it would only take a few misses before That Guilmon either started a forest fire or just as likely sat his own tree on fire. Nyao being grounded on the other hand, had plenty of ways to fight back, she could either attack the tree, the place That Guilmon might be hiding or try to get him to fall down. Nyao was also tempted to try shooting another beam once she had time to save up the energy.
The claim that That Guilmon was half cat was something even Nyao could see the funny in: "Hey I'm the cat here" "You got to be kitten me"

That made it to a good sized branch and sat on it once he climbed high enough on the trunk. He also held onto the branch he sat on, because That wasn't exactly well versed in tree-transversal and as such didn't want to risk falling before he wanted.
"I heard that Salamons grow up into Gatomons more often than not. But I'm guessing you haven't gotten tree climbing down yet.
That's alright by me, though."
He began looking up and down the branch, before choosing one and jumping for it, grabbing it and breaking it off. Upon landing, he broke it again, leaving himself with a somewhat thick, almost 2 foot long stick he tossed up and down a couple times.
"Oh, don't worry, I don't plan on physically beating you with a stick by any means. That would be cheating... of course it's me, a lone digimon vs another digimon with a spotter... so a weapon wouldn't be cheating, really."
Putting the stick in his mouth, he ran after Nyao again, at the same pace as before.

Now that Nyao had taken her time to restore her energy, she was more than willing to make her next move. For a moment, while the distance remained the same, Nyao stopped circling around and gave That Guilmon another glare only this time with a willful smirk.
Nyao inhaled again, this time 10 times as much air before yelling out in an extremely loud pitch that scared nearby bird digimon away: "Puppy Hoooooooo-" Nyao kept screaming the last syllible (for the entire post) and the longer Nyao screamed, the more shrill and painful to the ears the sound became. Strangely, Katsura seemed to actually enjoy the noise. Though Katsura held her hands on her ears, she was smiling and the ear-holding appeared to have more to do with the volume than the quality of the sound.
Whatever Katsura tried to say was completely lost in the noise but it was clearly not a complaint.

It had been a rather nice day so far. That and Tab had visited and helped out a bit. Sinclair didn't do much but That had generally told the family that she shouldn't have to. And no one really minded.
Marin, the MarineAngemon had by now thought up a budget for the month with the money That gave them. Lilly was on the grill as usual, and Early the Vilemon and Kate the BlackGatomon were serving as usual. In terms of customers, it was a light day.
And then the glass shattered, followed by a high pitched noise.
"*Sigh* I got this, vile."
As soon as Vile left the restaurant, there was a forcefield forming around it to damper the sound, while Kate worked on cleanup.
The demonic digimon quickly spotted and flew to the source of the noise. He saw That, standing his ground with his hands over his ears without making any forward movement. Sinclair had a look of annoyance on her face as the dolls of her Petit Crackdown were busy covering her ears as well.
Getting in between the fighters, Early got closer to Nyao. Partially due to what some call a "lack of self preservation" and his champion leveled strength, he seemed less effected by the Puppy Howl.
As for what he did... all he did was put his hands in a time out position. Despite his appearance, he made no motion to try to attack the Salamon
