Do you ever say something that you were probably not suppose to say & everyone goes quiet with looks on their faces?
Well, Raiza was the 'everyone' in this situation. She was quiet & staring at Ochako with a strange look, her golden eyes boring into chocolate brown.

"I'm sorry, Raiza. But no." — those words hung heavily in the air.

Ochako didn't know what would happen next. Will Raiza understand & back off? Will she explode in a fit of rage? Will she continue this uncomfortable staring contest 'till the end of time?

So many unanswered questions.

Suddenly, Raiza made her move. She lunged forward & Ochako tensed up, her heart skipping a beat. A brief flashback of when they were sparring flashed in Ochako's mind. The way the redhead had charged at her yesterday was eerily similar to the moment they were in now. The difference, however, was that this time, there was a terrifying intent behind the movement.

Quickly, Ochako moved to dodge the strike, but Raiza redirected her attack last minute — she swiveled her body & jutted her hand out, the tip of the knife grazing Ochako's cheek enough to stain the blade. Raiza then brought the knife up to her mouth & licked away all the blood, her lips curving into a rather feline grin.

"Delicious. .Though, I'm not satisfied"

Activating her Quirk, Ochako floated backwards to create distance while her hand went up to clutch her now bloody cheek. Great, another wound. She gritted her teeth, the stinging pain kicking in.

I need a plan & fast!

Confiscating the weapon was what came to mind first.
Getting rid of it will prevent any more future scars.
Raiza will most likely create a new weapon with her Quirk once I manage to get rid of the previous one, so I have to restrain her before that happens.

Releasing herself from Zero Gravity, the brunette charged forward, putting her plan into motion. Seeing her coming, Raiza mirrored her action & swung her knife to land an attack, but Ochako managed to grab her wrist mid-swing & twisted it, causing the knife to fall to the ground with a clatter.

Ochako almost grinned. I did it!

As she kicked the blade out of reach, Raiza's free hand flew up & grabbed the former's wrist, twisting it inward. The pain was excruciating, making Ochako's grip loosen, & before she knew it, Raiza had seized the opportunity to spin her around & slam her into a nearby counter. The force was enough to knock the air out of Ochako's lungs.

That didn't go as planned. .

Pinning Ochako's hands behind her back & forcing her into a slouched position over the counter, Raiza leaned over her shoulder, her breath tickling the brunette's neck.
"You are so pretty with blood decorating your cheek" She whispered, her voice carrying a distinct tone of delight.

This comment infuriated Ochako; she stomped on Raiza's foot repeatedly in a desperate attempt to break free. To her surprise, it worked, & the redhead stumbled back with a "Ouch, ouch, ouch!". Taking advantage of the brief interval, Ochako used Zero Gravity to push herself up against the same counter & propel herself forward & towards Raiza without thinking. The impact of her body slamming into hers was so forceful, it sent them both flying over another counter.
