After their encounter, there wasn't a second in her day where he didn't find her. Pestering her to the brink of snapping her patience, demanding a rematch left and right.

Sara's fingers twitched, willing herself to resist the urge of rolling her eyes at the Oni trailing after her as she made her rounds in the city.

"Kujou Tengu! Are you scared to lose? You winning was a sheer of dumb luck after all!" He cackled out loud.

Sara was secretly glad that his vision being seized doesn't seemed to affect him in some kind of way unlike the others. Arataki Itto was still loud and obnoxious as ever. Getting under people's skin like a passive talent.

"I do not see any merits in accepting your request." Sara eventually responded, rounding on the corner streets of Inazuma.

Itto scoffed, "Who cares?! I want a rematch asap! Pronto!"

"If you want to get your behind manhandled so desperately then I would have no trouble of giving it to you. But as you are now, it wouldn't be a fair fight."

Incredulous eyes shot towards her, "Hey! Don't you dare underestimate me!" He bellowed out loud.

Curious eyes of Inazuma citizen followed after the two, wondering why the Tengu Warrior and Crimson Oni strolling together on the streets of Inazuma. News of Itto's vision being seized by the Tengu General was a hot topic to the city. Despite that, there was no obvious animosity between the two. Itto had been disregarding his usual routine of playing with the children of Inazuma to follow the General around twenty four seven.

"I should arrest you under public disturbance noise, idiotic oni."

"I don't see you as someone to abuse your power, Kujou Tengu!"

"I'm not." She replied without pausing, "You are being extremely loud to the point of disturbance, not only that you've been bothering me all day."

"Aha!" A mischievous grin settled on his face, "So, I do bother you! What do ya say? Wanna rematch?"

Sara paused on her tracks, opening her mouth to finally give him a piece of her mind. He had asked that question for exactly one hundred and four times, which irked her. Couldn't he add one more to make it exactly one hundred and five on the dot? Before she could say anything, a voice from behind her had abruptly interrupted her.

"Boss! There you are!"

They both turned towards the direction of the voice, three people were approaching them. From the way they addressed the Oni behind her, they must be members of his notorious gang.

"Wassup?" He greeted.

"Boss! Where have you been? We've got a fight today, remember?"

"Oh, shit!" He exclaimed, quickly moving pass her. "See ya later, Kujou Tengu! Gotta go!"

Her hand snapped towards him before he could go, snatching his arm in an iron grip that made him wince. "Hold it."

"What?" He questioned impatiently.

Golden eyes narrowed on them, "What did I just hear about this fighting?"

One of his gang members must've realized that they shouldn't have spoken so obviously about any fights, especially in the presence of a General of the Tenryou Commission.

The man bowed his head apologetically, "We don't mean that kind of fight, General! We meant onikabuto fights!"

Realization dawned upon her, remembering that Itto was roaming in the mountains once, trying to catch onikabutos. Sara let go of the oni, "I see. You may go."
