Kurama's Spring Flower

Chapter Sixty Nine

Akina's POV

"Ladies and gentleman, that was incredible. That was amazing. That was...that was...I honestly don't know what that was, but wow!" Koto says to the audience. "You just blew up your Spirit power, didn't ya mate?" Chu asks Yusuke. "Now you're just weak as any other Human." Yusuke continues to huff and puff leading to Chu stating with a smirk, "I'm right." Yusuke then smirks and says, "Maybe, but so are you." Chu immediately says in response to his words, "That's probably true." Chu says with a small chuckle at the end. "Then we'll have to settle this fight like a couple of manly bulls." Yusuke's face shows excitement as he says, "I've got the balls." Chu then pulls out two knives that were hiding in the fluffy warmer on his foot. "Let's do this with a knife edge death match." Chu says calmly. "A knife edge death match?" Yusuke repeats in a questioning tone as he had never heard of such a thing.

I then hear the crowd talk amongst themselves. "Did he just say a knife edge death match?" I manage to hear someone ask in the audience, with someone else's voice saying, "This should be bloody." I then notice an excited look on Rinku's face, making me turn to Rinku and ask, "Have you ever heard of such a thing?" Goro looks to me and says, "Sadly no. Chiharu never introduced me to such a death match." I nod as a sign of acknowledging the answer. "A knife edge death match, huh?" I hear Kuwabara suddenly speak up, making Botan ask, "What is that perse?" Kuwabara looks to her as he says, "I may have gotten into more than my fair shares of fights in my time, but I've never heard of anything like that before. But if I had to guess, lets say it's a match to the death with those knives." This makes Goro sigh and say, "For a second there I thought Kuwabara was going to realise that he has encountered something that we haven't." I shake my head at his words before saying, "His tone and posture when he started talking was misleading, wasn't it."

"Let me take this opportunity to remind everyone that no weapon is off limits. That includes: swords, axes, small rodents...but what is Chu planning to do with those two knives?" Koto had informed us all whilst adding her own curiosity to what is happening. Chu went towards Yusuke and stabs one knife into the ground before Yusuke's feet. He then walks away and stabs the knife into the ground a short distance away from Yusuke. "How odd that Chu has stabbed his knife into the ground instead of Yusuke! I say it's odd because the last time I checked, the ground doesn't bleed nearly as much as a person." Koto speaks as she watch Chu turn to face Yusuke. "Take off your shoes and put your foot in front of the knife." Chu instructs Yusuke before he then starts kicking off his shoes and then presses his right foot against the knife that sits behind him. In seeing what he is doing, Yusuke nods before following suit. For a second it just looked like the two were just posing.
