---------------------------------------------------------
At the same time that the heated battle between Maho and Ragu raged on, some meters away engaging in an intense showdown themselves were Meguro and Kazeyami.

As he felt the fresh breeze hit his body, his silver hair moving along with it, Kazeyami was glaring a hole into the forehead of Meguro with a cocky smirk planted on his face as he jumped on the balls of his feet

"You know, we really could have just done this the easy way" - said Kazeyami in a cocky tone

Slanted eyes narrowed at the words uttered by the silver eyed man as Meguro held a look of clear discontent marring his expression

"Tch, easy is gonna be putting you six feet under" - Meguro retorted brazenly as he crouched down to a stance with his body hunched forward

"I don't know about that one pal. At best you'll take a silver medal because I'm the one coming out on top of this battle" - retorted Kazeyami as he encased his body in silver

Kaze stood attentively as Meguro made no move to approach him, trying to scope out where he would move to, how would he attack, how much space he has to maneuver between them. And just as he blinked, Meguro disappeared from his vision, ringing alarm bells in his mind. Hearing a faint sound of wind coming from his rear, Kaze quickly turned around, shielding his chest with both arms in a X cross guard as Meguro impacted on him with his sharp claws.

'Oh no, he's fast, he's reeeeeaaaaaally fast' - was Kaze's train of thought as he pushed back with all his might against Meguro to make some space between them

"That was impressive, though I must say you look a little...snake-ish" - Kaze said, referring to Meguro's slitted pupils and scaled patches of skin

"You talk too much" - was all he heard in response as Meguro once again dashed to hit him before seemingly disappearing into thin air, just to appear behind him and finally get a clean slash at the back of his silver coated neck

'Gah, felt that one'- Kaze thought as he jumped away and turned around as fast possible to face his opponent

"You know, that's quite the ability you got there. I can still see you move but it's honestly impressive. It would be more admirable if you weren't with these crazy scientists" - Kaze droned on as he recomposed himself

"What's in it for you anyway, what do you get from working for these guys? - he continued as he looked for a way to lower the effectiveness of Meguro

"I'll humor you this time. For starters, I got this power which as you can see if very useful when used the right way. Along with that, there is money to be made. I was a simple teen out on the streets with Ragu and Chimori, stealing anything we could, scraping by to have something to eat at least once a day" - Meguro said as he started to circle around Kaze

Flashback Start
8 Years Ago, Tokyo, Japan, 2043, 18:15

Three raggedy looking teenagers were running as fast as their pubescent legs could carry them as the rain poured down upon the city, making the floor slippery and even harder to run on

"Huff, huff, go go go, turn left here! - bellowed Ragu as he lead the other two teens away from an angered tall man

"GET BACK HERE WITH MY WALLET, YOU MONGRELS" - shouted the man as he tried his best to match their pace, his longer legs helping him cover more distance easily. The man was a towering 188cm tall compared to Ragu, Meguro and Chimori who were 170cm, 167cm and 177 respectively.
