As he watched his girlfriends leave, Orion couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. He loved these women, but the bond he shared with Luna and Aurora was unparalleled. Ever since they had transitioned into their romantic relationship, they had been more understanding and accepting of his romantic life, but that didn't mean he could disregard their need for his attention.
Turning to his sisters, Orion smiled. "Alright, you two. What's the plan for today?"
"Okay," Luna started, her tone taking on a hint of excitement, "how about we head to that new ice cream place downtown and--"
Her voice was cut off by a harsh, grating voice that seemed to shatter the afternoon tranquillity. Orion turned to the source, his eyes landing on a formidable figure of a woman with fiery eyes and an equally fiery temper - Misaki Oga, the older sister of Tatsumi Oga.
Flanked by Yusuke, Revy, and Tatsumi himself, Misaki seemed to radiate a dangerous aura, her eyes locked onto Orion with a venomous intensity. "Are you the one who beat my brother for protecting his school?" she asked, her voice heavy with accusation and undisguised hostility.
The atmosphere around them became dense and electric, crackling with an undercurrent of impending conflict. Orion stood his ground, his emerald eyes meeting Misaki's fiery ones without fear. His sisters, Luna and Aurora, pressed closer to him, their fingers instinctively curling around his arm.
"Your brother was being a bully," Orion stated, his voice steady and calm despite the tension. "I just answered in their own language."
"Big Sis, he's lying," Tatsumi suddenly intervened, his voice reverberating in the otherwise silent environment. "I was just protecting some students, and he thought I was bullying them. You know I would never bully, right?"
Orion felt a surge of frustration at Tatsumi's words, his lips curving into a sarcastic smile. The audacity of the boy to twist the truth to his advantage was nothing short of baffling. The fact that Misaki was buying into his lies without a second thought only added fuel to the fire.
"Oh, you were protecting some students, were you?" Orion retorted, his voice laced with evident disbelief. "By cornering them in a deserted hallway and hurling insults at them?"
Tatsumi glowered at Orion, a dangerous glint in his eyes. "They needed a lesson, Orion. You just misunderstood the situation."
"And you," Orion turned his gaze towards Misaki, his tone accusing, "you're going to believe him just like that?"
Misaki squared her shoulders, her stance defiant. "Why should I believe you, a stranger, over my own brother?"
Orion's fists clenched at his sides, his lips curling upward. He felt Luna and Aurora's grip on his arm tightening, their bodies radiating nervous tension.
Without another word, Misaki reached behind her back and drew out a bokken, a wooden training sword. The afternoon sun glinted off its polished surface as she pointed it directly at Orion, her eyes burning with righteous anger.
"I will not stand by while you sully my brother's name," she declared, her voice echoing ominously around them.
As the bokken pointed threateningly towards him, Orion didn't flinch. He held Misaki's gaze steadily, an unwavering calm dominating his features. He could feel the tension pulsating around him, his sisters gripping onto his arm tightly.
"Misaki Oga," Orion began, his voice echoing in the tense silence. "You're ready to fight me without knowing the full story. Just because I'm the 'stranger' here, and he's your brother."
Misaki narrowed her eyes at him but didn't refute his words, her grip on the bokken not wavering.
"I don't believe in unnecessary fights," Orion continued, his gaze scanning over the faces of Yusuke, Revy, and Tatsumi. "But I don't back down from justified ones, either. If you're so hell-bent on defending your brother without knowing the truth, then I guess a fight is unavoidable."
With that, he gently disentangled his arm from Luna and Aurora's grip. He gave them a reassuring smile, his eyes twinkling with an unspoken promise. "I'll be fine."
Orion stepped forward, meeting Misaki halfway. His posture was relaxed, non-threatening, but his eyes held a fiery determination that contrasted his otherwise calm demeanor. The crowd of students who had gathered to witness the spectacle watched in awe, whispers of anticipation running through the hushed murmurs.
Tatsumi wore a smug expression, convinced that his sister would bring down the arrogant Orion. Misaki, on the other hand, seemed to have a glimmer of uncertainty in her eyes. But her pride wouldn't allow her to back down now.
"No holds barred?" she asked, her voice filled with a steel-like resolve.
"No holds barred," Orion affirmed, a faint smile playing on his lips.
The atmosphere was electric with anticipation, the world around them fading into a blur as they locked gazes, each assessing the other.
"What are you waiting for, Misaki?" Tatsumi called out, a sneer on his face. "Take him down!"
"I will," Misaki answered, her voice unwavering.
Her words served as the catalyst. Misaki lunged at Orion, her bokken aiming straight for his head. But Orion was quicker. He sidestepped, causing her to stumble slightly.
She quickly recovered, aiming for his torso this time, but Orion caught the wooden blade in his bare hands, not flinching at the sting it caused. With a quick twist, he yanked the bokken from her grip and tossed it aside.
"This is a fight," he said, his eyes gleaming with intensity. "Not a sparring match."
Misaki glared at him, her pride wounded, but didn't back down. She charged at him again, this time barehanded. Orion met her attacks with calculated precision, his movements reflecting a perfect balance of strength and strategy.
Orion watched as Misaki's face turned from shock to rage as her weapon was discarded. The fury in her eyes was matched only by her stubborn determination. Her reputation was at stake, after all. But Orion was not going to go easy on her, gender be damned. He believed in equality, which meant not holding back his punches.
With an explosive burst of energy, Misaki lunged at Orion, her fists flying towards him. But Orion was prepared. He sidestepped her attack, then whirled around to face her, pulling back his arm and driving a punch into her gut with all his might.
