"Or maybe I found you?" I say to Sohma as more of a question then confident statement.

"You'd need a lot more skill than you have to track me down." He answers quickly before throwing another blood arrow from the palm of his hand.

Having seen this one coming I dodge it easily and fire back an explosion immediately. Sohma unlike me casually bends his body upwards to dodge the explosion. His face doesn't even change as the ball of fire comes straight at him. He really was good at this.

"Why so far away? Scared Iro?" He taunts knowing how I get when challenged.

"I could ask you the same. I mean you found me, and yet you're staying so far away." I shoot back even cracking a smile to show I'm joking.

Sohma must have missed the joke though because he takes off at me. I think I have an opening as he runs but when I fire he dodges it while keeping at the same pace. Okay he isn't just good, he's terrifying.

Rather then give him a chance to shoot another blood arrow I resort to my newer move, rapid fire. I continuously send out small explosions hoping for one to hit Sohma down.

"That's a pretty good move Iro," he says seamlessly moving through them.

"Shut up Sohma." I answer clearly starting to panic as nothing seems to stop him.

"Come on relax honey, everyone loses against me." Sohma piles on as I finally run out of steam to keep firing.

"You haven't won Sohma. I'm Don't get carried away," I warn trying to think of a new move.

"Your confidence is cute princess." He says nonchalantly.

"Would you shut up. Take this seriously, I want a real fight." I say to him at a loss at what to do next.

"Darling this is real, you're just no where near my level. So I'm letting myself have a little fun," He smirks putting his hand out in front of him. I watch as the hand starts to be covered entirely in red. He then lifts it up making a fist, "See, this is a real fight, unfortunately a very short one at that."

Sooner then I would've liked Sohma is arms length from me and uses his red fist to lounge out at me. I dodge and try to return the favor with a lunch of my own. Sohma easily evades the attack and punches again, somehow quicker than the last. Caught off guard I dodge too slow and his fist grazes my arm. Although it was just a graze, the pain was still there. It was like the normal pain of a pinch plus a weird burning sensation I can only assume is because of his quirk.

Slowed by this sensation I accidents give him time hit again and this time he lands a direct hit. I go flying back hitting a wall behind me and falling to the ground. Oh fuck.

My breathing was staggered and my hand trembled as I went to touch where Sohma had hit me. The feeling of my upper right rib is something I'd compare to getting stabbed over and over in the same place. Not only would I be  drastically slower now, but Sohma would only be harder to fight. I'm not even sure I can stand up at this point.

"Done already Iro? I can signal up to your uncle that it's over," Sohma says still standing at the place he stood when he hit me.

He's playing with me. I was nothing to him, this was never a real fight. Was I really so weak that my boyfriend didn't even see me as competition. No, I know I'm stronger than this. If I use my energy release I can defeat him. No I'm not supposed to use that until I have control. But if I don't use it then I'm gonna have to face this embarrassment.

I can't disappoint my team, or my class, or my family. I can't disappoint anyone, I am not some weakling that can't stand to fight. I will fight, I will win, I'm going to destroy Sohma.
