Yuzuhara starts off the fight by creating a familiar identical to herself,
odachi included and walks towards us, then suddenly both rush us,
Leon straight up gets picked up by Yuzuhara's familiar then she jumps several blocks away leaving me with the real one. She swings for my neck twice,
I dodge then slash vertically to which she blocks twice,
letting my blade slide down hers before getting behind me and hitting me in the back with the hilt of her odachi. She continues to pressure me with her fast swings and each strike hits harder and harder.
I summon a extra shadow short sword, block then swing back with my demonic strength making her slide back a foot, she disappeared into thin air and my instincts told me behind me so I backflipped over Yuzuhara just as she was about to cut me in half at the stomach.
She turns around fast and use her odachi to block each of my slashes, the damn thing is five feet tall itself and has longer reach, all she has to do is keep me at a three foot distance to win.
I jump up and kick her away making her slide again.
I rush her and kick again but she holds out her hand and I kicked what felt like a wall, I back off from her.
"Okay first question, are you teleporting or are you moving so fast that it looks like teleportation? Second question what hell did I just kick?!"
Yuzuhara creates a burgandy flame in the palm of her hand.
"I just moved that fast, I can actually go faster if I really wanted to, secondly what you kicked was a barrier. See?"
I focus hard enough and noticed the outlines of her barrier,
the barrier itself is transparent but the corners and edges,
the outlines are visible.
"Huh, neat." Yuzuhara throws her burgandy flame and it brnaches out creating three fireballs from one,
I attempted to dodge but they suddenly exploded which I found weird because in reality I'd be on fire with fourth degree burns or worse I assume.
The burgandy flames pulls me into the pitch black darkness,
I felt nothing if anything the flames were warm, I suddenly see white as I am thrown out of the fire and crash through a brick wall on the side of the road.
I get up.
"You can control what your fire burns and don't burn can't you?"
Yuzuhara confirms my theory so despite using it if she really wanted to she could burn me alive.
She comes at me again and I rush her too, I blocked,
I slashed,
I threw in some kicks and was mildly scraped by kicking her blade but that was about it,
we were swinging at each other so fast, so hard that when our weapons clashed, sparks flew.
I land a kick to her gut,
fake her out and land a strong strike to her thigh, she flinches but that's about it. I continued slashing and she would keep blocking that was until I slashed through one of her openings but hit nothing, she moved fast enough to create a after image and that's what I slashed unfortunately. I get impaled through the back and her blade sticks out of my chest,
she twists the blade then slashes through me, luckily I heald extremely fast, like Deadpool kind of fast.
She swings for me again and I blocked with the back of my purple scaley hand, showing her my claws. "Your speed is impressive but I'm playing to win." I grab the blade as she tries to yank it back but I ended up throwing her along with the blade with just one hand, I was hoping she'd land on her back or chest but nope, she landed on her feet,
for a lady wearing high heels, her ability to fight in them is something else.
"That's the spirit! Let's get competitive!" We rush each other,
sense she carries the heavier weapon I ducked under the blade and slash her leg on the way by then duck under another slash and I slash her stomach.
I back off as I noticed her regenerating from her flesh wounds,
I knew she wasn't human but I don't think she's a devil either.
"Yo, what are you? A demon of some kind?" Yuzuhara takes stance again with a smile plasterd on her face.
"Not too far off the mark, I'm not a demon that's for sure.
Tell you what keep dancing with me and I might tell you."
She winks at me then blows me a kiss that quickly became fire!
I dodge and we engage in another sword fight, even though she was hardly trying her sword play was much better then mine, luckily I had keener eyes and saw a opening, I stab her through the chest and slice her throat,
she heals so fast that she didn't spray me with her blood which means her healing factor is likely millions of times faster then mine.
I dodge each slash,
get in close then slash and kick,
the out boxing strategy was working, I get several feet away from her and prepare to make runes.
"Go down!" I create a rune under her and fire Shadow Gizzare at her three times but she dodged all three,
I then twisty palm and make a shadow rune on my hand and fire Shadow Turrent at her, taking out a street lamp or two, I stop the second I couldn't see her and look left, right and up but didn't see her, I even looked down but nothing.
"Yuhoo! Over heeeeeeeerreeeeeee!" Yuzuhara was on top of a house with nine pinkish red tails with white tips and fox whiskers, she disappeared and reappeared in front of me. "Not bad, you're strong but you lack speed, I could tell you how to get faster but I think I'll let you figure it out, nothing like hardship and training to build character."
The fuck is this chick saying?
Not that I really care,
I kick the fight into high gear and make two giant bone like limbs from Shadow Golem and attempt to strike Yuzuhara,
I tried to keep damage to a minimum but I took out some trees and few power lines.
"Ooooooo, that's a neat trick, let me try!" She jumps up and one of her nine tails gets larger and tries to smack me with it, I use my Shadow Golem arm to block it and next thing I know she's inlarging all of them and using her tails to strike me. I fall on my back unable to continue the fight mainly due to all the houses,
trees, street lamps and power lines that and also I'm trying not to draw attention to myself.
"Holy hell your strong."
I say out of breath. Yuzuhara walks up to me and leans over,
her pony tail tickling my face. "Not bad, not bad at all.
I can tell you held back a bit more, just to clarify I used only three precent of my over all power."
My eyes get huge,
she held back that much?! Just how fucking strong is this woman?! "Now then your reward for giving me a good time out of your busy schedule."
She grabs my trench coat and pulls me up then gives me a kiss on the cheek before snapping her fingers and her familiar appears out of thin air with a beat up Leon. The familiar throws Leon beside me and all I hear is a groan out of him.
"Well, time to get going, what's your name real fast?"
I give her my name as I put Leon's arm over my shoulder.
"Seth huh. I have a younger brother named Seth. Anyway you'll be seeing me again in the near future, take care kay?"
I nod and wave as she reverts back to her human form and her tails litterally disappeared along with the whiskers. A normal human would be like you tried to kill me and run but after clashing with her I can safely say that wasn't the case, usually when two people fight they can understand each other and in rare cases even become friends and I believe that's what happened. She's also cute.
"Penny has competition."
I chuckle and take Leon away from all the damage, for some reason I feel like I've known her my whole life despite not knowing her at all. Maybe we will get reacquainted one day........... one day.
