Mimi-cho, Japan
The Sakura tree that Shion had struck thunder on burned to the ground as the many hostages under the tree cried helplessly, watching the fight between their protectors and their invaders, completely helpless do anything about it.
"You damned monster!" Fubuki cursed, swinging her blade at Ayame.
Ayame didn't reply as she merely cackled before gracefully dodging to the side, completely undeterred by the insult.
The Oni jumps towards Fubuki and slashes her katana at her. The Fox quickly parried it with her own blade, causing Ayame's katana and arm to fly off to the side, leaving her front wide open. Fubuki took advantage of the situation and attempted to thrust her blade into Ayame's chest. The attack was a success, plunging the sharp metal inside her and creating a deep wound onto Ayame's body which almost immediately made blood start to gush out. Ayame screamed in pain as Fubuki quickly dislodged the sword from her body after penetrating it through and out.
"Mio! Now!" Fubuki shouts before being pushed away by force magic from Shion.
Mio flanked Fubuki's left side towards Ayame's back, preparing to decapitate and kill her instantly. Ayame, with the little strength she had left, moved her katana to behind her back to redirect Mio's blade away from her neck, causing it to get lodged into into a non-fatal area. Ayame swiftly turns around and swings at Mio, preventing her from grabbing the sword stuck inside her own back and pushing the Wolf back to Fubuki's side.
"Hrragh!" Ayame cries in pain, dislodging Mio's blade from her back. Her blood flowed exponentially but Ayame decided to not mind it. She keeps her hand on the handle and brings both her blade and Mio's blade in front of her in a defensive stance. It wasn't often that Ayame dual wielded so this was a nice change of pace for her. If only she was doing it against rank-and-file fodder and not two strong individuals.
Mio puts her fists up, seeing as she no longer has a weapon and prepares to fight using martial arts.
"What a pain." Ayame says. The wounds really were getting to her now and she was losing too much blood.
She sheathes her own sword while still holding onto Mio's with her offhand and points at a hostage. Ayame's index finger burns a bright purple and red flame before slowly wilting away.
Everyone was confused as to what just happened, but that confusion quickly turned to shock once the hostage stopped breathing, bringing Fubuki, Mio, the other hostages and even Shion into a panic. It got even worse when all the cuts and wounds Ayame had accumulated started to miraculously heal, leaving no scarring behind.
"Hey, hey! What the hell is that?!" Mio asked in shock, "I thought healing magic was only an Angel thing! Even then, it isn't that effective!"
"A good friend of mine taught me," Ayame licked her finger, "She's quite famous too, you know." Ayame used her hands to gesture horns on her head and a halo hovering above her.
The fight then resumed, now with Mio and Fubuki angrier than ever, and Ayame on cloud nine with how much fun she was having. Their swords clashed countless times, with a metal 'ting' with every bit of contact.
