Chapter 44: Kuoh Battle Conclusion

Kuoh City

Unohana muttered a curse under her breath as she repeatedly clashed with Okita. The reason for her hesitation in completely eliminating him was clear.

Okita was a man who contained 100 demons, or more accurately, the spirits of deceased Youkais within himself. As a human, he suffered from a severe illness, and in order to stave off death, he resorted to dark magic, trapping these demons inside his body to extend his lifespan.

"You honestly remind me of a pesky insect; you just keep hanging around," Unohana declared as she struck Okita with a blow he couldn't block. Instead of blood, a malevolent, dark energy seeped from the wound she inflicted, morphing into youkais. "You're truly revolting."

"From my perspective, you're the repulsive one," Okita remarked, observing Unohana as she utilized her acid blood manipulation to dissolve the demons emerging from his wound into a pool of goo. "You're nothing more than a ruthless killer."

Unohana didn't respond; instead, she launched a renewed and fierce assault that surprised Okita. He only managed to survive due to his unique physique. From all his injuries, a demon emerged and targeted Unohana, seeing her as a threat to their host.

"You are nothing but a parasite," Unohana said when she finally responded. She could not understand how a person could make their body into a vessel for youkai just to prolong their lives. "But I am going to put you out of your misery."

Okita knew that he had to go on the offensive, so he used his special attack, a triple attack, but he moved at such speeds that it looked like a single attack. Unohana managed to block one of his strikes, but the other two landed, making a cross shape on her stomach to her chest.

Unohana chuckled at the attack and the damage it had done. She quickly healed herself with magic, something she had learned a long time ago so she could prolong the joy of battle.

Unohana teased, "Your swordplay is decent, but you'll need a bit more than that to take me down!" before she unleashed her fury on Okita.

Okita retaliated with his own stabs and slashed each of them. Their blades touched and created a shockwave that destroyed their surroundings. While it may seem that they lost themselves in the battle, they made sure that none of their attacks went to where they sensed Rias.

The battle was at a stalemate, with Okita being unable to do lasting damage to Unohana because of her healing magic, and her acid blood melted any of his 100 demons that got too close to her.

While Unohana was unable to slay Okita because of his unique body made of demons, each time she cut him, a demon would come from the wound, healing him and attacking her at the same time.

As the battle continued, they both knew that the victor would be determined by which one of them could outlast the other, but neither knew which would fall first. So that just leaves them to attack each other with their most powerful attacks, and the one standing wins.

"You are a troublesome opponent, Unohana," Okita said as he ripped off his the remainder of his shirt, showing his back covered in the tattoos of 100 demons (Youkai). "But I will be the one to win this."

"You talk too much, fool," Unohana responded as she started to radiate a crimson aura, as blood flowed from her blade to the ground, covering the area they were in with the sticky liquid.

"Night Parade of 100 Demons," Okita exclaimed as the tattoos on his back glowed, and 100 youkai appeared around him, empowering him beyond what Unohana thought possible, as he was now stronger than one of the original Satans.
