A Raven and the Assassin

The final hour: forgotten soldier

Leo stood against many of Ken's soldiers and was currently on the defensive.

"No matter how many I take down more just keep coming" Leo says before feeling a slash on his left side as blood pours out of his wound. "You live up to your name Miko the Butcher" Leo said as Miko appears from the dust holding a long dagger pointed to the ground as blood drips off it.

*She is quick I never even saw her coming* Leo thought as Miko pulls her dagger back before thrusting forward not even reaching Leo before a cut appear on his right arm. "That makes 2 earning me 2 points" Miko says almost like she is playing a game as Leo holds his arm.

"Your must be wondering how I cut you with out even touching you" Miko asked as Leo gave a light chuckle. "No I know how you learned a lost martial art known as keno kai" Leo says as he watched her step back and smile.

"Your very cleaver" Miko told him as Leo puts his guard up. *Keno kai is a technique that makes a space around the user leaving no blind spot not to mention it can also be used to attack from long distance but it does have one weakness* Leo thought before Miko launched another attack but this time Leo dodged and rushed at Miko and elbows her in the stomach pushing her back.

"You lose all defence when attacking and that is the weakness of keno kai" Leo says as Miko looks at him with the face of someone who enjoyed that strike. "I have never missed before what a rush lets go again" Miko says before thrusting her dagger over and over leaving no room for Leo to dodge as he took the strikes.

*She managed to almost get rid of the weakness with an endless attack but I will not lose* Leo thought as he managed to hold out long enough to perform a counter attack kicking Miko into the air before jumping up and then tossing her into the ground as blood ran down his arms. "Your good but I'm better" Miko says as she managed to rebound quick and jump above Leo before pulling out a 2nd dagger and plunging it into Leo's chest as they hit the ground.

"That was a good fight but no demon will ever defeat me" Miko says as she prepares to finish Leo off. *I guess this is my punishment right Shiza* Leo thought as he accepts his end before Miko's dagger was destroyed by a bullet made of chi as Leo is picked up by a chubby man dressed in pink genie clothes with another man dressed in black genie clothes stood next to him.

"Hog, Pesto how are you both here" Leo asked weakly as Hog lays him down gentle. "It's because the barrier between are worlds is weakened most likely because of the mass of power we can sense" Pesto explains as Hog looks at Miko.

"We able to crossover and help now" Hog says as Miko just smiled at them as she grabs a 3rd dagger. "Lets finish her Hog" Pesto said as they rush at her and she prepares to counter but they vanish.

*Where did they go* Miko thought before a kneedle made of chi grazed her cheek. "I missed Hog" Pesto says to himself from the top of a nearby build as Hog slams his fist down causing the ground to crack beneath Miko's feet.

*This big guy is strong and fast for his size* Miko thought as another chi kneedle grazed her cheek. Hog rushed at her like a tank but Miko dodged.

"Little girl very quick to dodge Hog" Hog says as she keeps her keno kai set to defence but soon gets hit by a punch to the stomach. "Looks like I finally got through your keno kai" Leo says before kicking her away as Hog keeps her off balance.

"You should be at deaths door how" Miko said as Leo pulled out the dagger. "Thing about demons always aim for the neck" Leo told her as he punched Miko again sending her back as a chi kneedle hits her in the back.

"How did you break through my keno kai" Miko asked as Leo smirked as he keeps up his attack. "The keno kai works on your opponents rhythm but I'm not using my style of fighting rather a friend of mine" Leo said as he delivers a round house kick to Miko's face.

*[Fn] all the time you trained I learned from you and I will use it to win* Leo thought as he punched Miko right in the mouth with caused her to flip in front of him before Leo slams her into the ground. "I can't believe it I lost" Miko says but never lost her smile as Leo falls on his back exhausted.

"Your name is Leo right thanks for making my dream come true" Miko said as she lost consciousness. "Your welcome" Leo says as he passed out due to blood lose as Hog and Pesto take them both to a safe area to recover.

No one knew what Miko Takashi also known as the butcher's dream was if she even had one but Leo knew in a second of seeing her what she dreams of and gave what she wanted which was fun from battle which no other opponent ever gave her.
