This was definitely no time for errors and mistakes. Yui and Akiyama had been going at it and it seems neither will yield to the other. They both landed a couple of lucky hits on the other, but that was it. There was no real bruising to show for the amount of time they had been fighting. Along with that, there had been no real breakthroughs. Both of them were backed up, panting, huffing and puffing in need of some air.

Clearly, these two were way too evenly matched.

"T-tch... she won't... go down... what's going on!" Akiyama exclaimed, glaring at her opponent once more, obviously frustrated at the fact that this wasn't as easy as she thought it was.

"I need to... find better ways in dealing with her... at this rate my body's not going to hold up much longer against her attacks..." Yui assessed, looking at herself. She wasn't hurt, but she's expended too much energy while fighting. She knows that if she keeps this up she won't last much longer. Akiyama, however, had enough energy to be angry at herself for not getting the job done.

"Okay, now I KNOW you're not taking this fight seriously, you idiot!"

"If I wasn't then I'd have probably have just let you off to what you please, wouldn't I?" She yelled back.

"Well guess what? That's EXACTLY how it's gonna turn out, Yui!" Akiyama shouted. "You're going to LET ME do what I please!"

"Over my dead body, Akiyama..." Yui snapped back.

"Heh... that can be arranged, right after I pile your sister's dead body right on yours!" This might have just earned the Hooded One a glare from the guitarist.

"Excuse me?"

"That's right, Yui... when I had your sister in my hands... I just loved punching her so hard that she screams in agony." This only earned a blatant thunderbolt to Akiyama, which she easily dodged.

"Don't you dare bring my sister into this, Akiyama! I'm warning you!" But Akiyama just smirked, knowing that her underhanded tactics are working, so she continues to use them.

"Oho, did I hit a nerve? Maybe just like how I kept hitting Ui until the blood started trickling down her mouth? The screams were music to my ears." Yui was having none of it. Enraged by her words, Yui charged right at Akiyama... exactly how she had planned it.

Anticipating that she'd be affected by her words, Akiyama waited for Yui to get close. The moment she did, Akiyama nailed a swift knee right into Yui's gut, the very breakthrough she needed.

"A-AAGH!" Yui yelled in pain as she dropped on all fours. Akiyama pulled Yui up by her hair, immediately grabbing her head and smashing it into the icy wall, further increasing the pain.

"You're mine now, Yui..." She whispered into the guitarist's ear as she kneed her in the back hard.

"AAGH! U-ungh..." Akiyama turned her around, back facing the wall, and started doing what she did best; pummeling and torturing her adversary. Every punch and kick was filled with rage and vindictiveness. Akiyama really did want to hurt Yui and now she has her chance. Yui was defenseless. Her body didn't want to respond to what's happening. Her mouth started trickling blood due to the impact of every hit she was taking.

Akiyama punched Yui hard enough in her gut to force her back on her fours. Yui kept coughing up blood on the floor, and from the amount of blood she had been coughing, she had taken a major beating.

"How's it feel, Yui? How's it feel to be pathetic, huh!" Akiyama screamed out, kicking her in the stomach forcing Yui to roll in pain. The mad woman then took a few steps back, priming for something far more sinister. "Heh... I'll put your lights out for good, Yui... then I can do whatever I want to you!" She reeled her right leg back and started running straight toward her, aiming to connect with the side of her head. Yui was in no position to move. Her body had been worn out after that last beating and she can't move much.
