Shinjuku and Kachito were both wounded, Shinjuku was stabbed, Kachito was...yeah, but they were both going to fight. It was obvious that they planned to go until the other died.
Kachito: Get cough ready...
Shinjuku: Been ready...
So, the injured father and son charged to each other and started clashing blades again. And again. The sparks flying. Kachito had used all his Kami no Chikara fixing up his wounds from his fight with Kachita. Shinjuku just never learned Kami no Chikara. He really did rely on cheap tricks.
Kachito got hit back by Shinjuku and then Shinjuku tosses a powder into the air. Then he ran his blade across the ground causing it to spark and when he slashed at Kachito, the powder combusted.
Kachito: Gunpowder!?
He was blown back and barely managed to stabilize himself, having rolled back twice before stopping.
Kachito coughed up a little blood and wiped his mouth.
Kachito: Father, we're ending this here and now!
Shinjuku: Hmp! Then let's go Kachito...
Kachito rushed in like usual, and as usual, Shinjuku countered and struck him back. Kachito started realizing, his fighting style was being too aggressive. He had to approach things differently.
Shinjuku knew his moves, but Kachito also knew Shinjuku's moves. Kachito was going to switch up his style to catch Shinjuku off guard.
Kachito backed away and took a deep breath. He stood still. His blade tracing the ground. Shinjuku smirked. And then laughed.
Shinjuku: Finally...
He rushed at Kachito.
Shinjuku: You've learned to give up!
Shinjuku slashed, with his usual diagonal slash, Kachito weaved it. Then the follow up. And maneuvered to land a punch on Shinjuku's face, sending himm back slightly.
Shinjuku ripped out a tooth.
Shinjuku: The hell was that...it was almost like...
Shinjuku recalled memories of his mother, the previous Heavenly Swordsman Hakari Mishimura, always seemingly anticipating attacks and any memory of her pissed him off.
Shinjuku: Damn boy...
Shinjuku ran back in using some smoke pellets to kick Kachito's spine like earlier. But when he went for the move this time, Kachito grabbed his leg and then used his elbow to break Shinjuku's right leg.
Shinjuku: AAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!
Kachito then managed to toss Shinjuku a few meters away. Shinjuku had nothing to heal his leg. His refusal on learning Kami no Chikara bit him in the ass. If he had Kami no Chikara, he could fix the bone.
Shinjuku then tried to go in for a stab like Kachito had earlier. But due to his leg it was sloppy. And Kachito stepped on the blade of Shinjuku's katana like his father had done, reversing the roles.
Kachito the gripped Mochi tightly and cut Shinjuku's wrist. He then flipped off the blade he was standing on and got behind Shinjuku, slashing his back after landing. Then, Kachito plunged the blade through Shinjuku's heart.
Shinjuku wailed in pain before coughing up massive amounts of blood.
Kachito: Any last words.
Shinjuku: Heh...taken put by my weak ass son...
Shinjuku smirked.
Shinjuku: It doesn’t feel all that bad...
Shinjuku then stopped breathing. Dying. Kachito pulled Mochi out of Shinjuku's body. He looked down at his father's body. And spit on it.
Kachito: That’s for everything...you piece of shit...
Kachito's eyes fluttered as he fell unconscious like Zotawa and Lei-Lei. All three of them laying on the bloodied ground. Today was a victory, despite the physical taxation it was on their bodies.
