Death to the Ninja

Chapter 12

Soz for long wait. I got lazy and lost motivation for the story, so I don't think this last chapter is really up to standards.

This has intense fighting and blood (maybeeee?????) so beewarrrreeee I guess

Nya's POV

We were in mid-battle, swords blazing, elemental powers in full swing, for the first time in little over a year. I was back to back with Kai, who was back to his normal self, with some absolutely horrendous one-liners such as, "Take that, you scum!" and "I'm an eternal flame babay!" It made me smile.

Harumi was just standing in the exact same spot, looking livid and smug at the same time, not even touching her sword.

"Coward," I yelled. She just evilly smiled at me.

"If I'm the coward, what does that make you? Not even attempting to fight me, I see. A coward indeed!"

I sprinted up to her, ready to whack my spear right in the middle of her smug face. But she didn't even flinch, her sword still untouched on her hip. 

"Let's prove once and for all who's really the best," she jeered at me. She took off her belt and threw her katana to the ground. 

 I understood and also proceeded to throw my weapon on the floor. Finally, I went into my guard stance.  

At first, we just circled each other, Harumi's signature eyes seemingly peering into the depths of my soul. This made me pissed - I was done letting her decide how I should feel and constantly telling me 'I am better than you and you know it.'

So naturally, I threw the first punches, but she easily dodged them and in my vulnerable state, took the opportunity to take a jab at my stomach. Whilst I was winded, Harumi went for a hook aimed for the side of my head. However, I was ready for this one deflected it with an arm at the side of my head, then pushed kicked her with all the force I could muster.

She stumbled and held her stomach, gasping for breath. For the first time,  the smile was wiped off of her face, which was now covered with unmistakeable concentration.

I tried to aim a rear roundhouse kick, but she easily blocked it, her hands around her back.

"Come now, Nya, I really hoped you would pose more a challenge for me!" She laughed cruelly. Fuelled with even more anger, I rapidly try to punch and kick, but she caught my foot and pulled me towards her.

"But, I always did know you were nothing but a pathetic little worker girl," She whispered into my ear, before kneeing me in the stomach.

Caught off-guard by her remark, I was now fully winded by her attack which I had no protection from whatsoever. Harumi took this opportunity push me and slam me to the ground and sit on my chest.

She punched me. I felt blood pour out of my nose and mouth.

"You are just the girl that no one remembers."

She punched me again.

"The most useless ninja on the team."

Punch.

"You are not loved by society."

Punch.

"You are not even loved by your friends..or is it family?"

Punch.

"You are not even loved by yourself."

Punch.
