Ends And Beginnings Pt.5

Jonathon Smirks, "Finally Someone Doesn't Die After One Hit, I've Waited Decades For This And Now I Have It, I Shall Pull Out For Now, But You Had Better Make It Back To Me When The Tournament Comes Around. Got It?" Lexi Turns To Him And Smiles, "Of Course I Will, I'm Gonna Win The Whole Thing." With That, Jonathon Leaves And Lexi And Braxton Go To Eat. We Turn Our Attention To The Man With Orange Hair And The Scar, He's Going Around Doing What Appears To Be Collecting Sponsors, Extra Funds, And A TV Deal. We Don't Get To Hear Any Of The Conversation Other Than The Fact That His Codename Is Black, And He Works For An Organization Called A.C.E, We Don't Know The Specifics Of The Acronym Or What The Company Does At This Time. Two Days Pass Since These Two Dealings. The Altercation Between Jonathon And Lexi, And The Sighting Of Black. Now We Focus On A Woman In Traditional Japanese Clothing, A White Yukata With Some Red Faded Stains On Them, Wooden Geta Sandals And Long Black Hair. We Learn That She Is A Master Swordswoman With A Confirmed Kill Count Of 350 And A Speculated 500 Not Accounted For. She Is Currently In A Battle With A Man With A Red Bandana Over His Right Eye. That Bandana Indicates That He Has Over 150 Confirmed Kills. The Man Asks Her For Her Name. Akane Watanabe, And Yours? The Man Looked Over With His Left Eye And Said, Haruto Suzuki, Now Madam, Are We Fighting To The Death? Akane Thinks For A Second And Shakes Her Head, *Kono Utsukushī Hi Ni Shi Wa Hitsuyōna i, Sō Omowanai?*. Haruto Smiles And Asks Her Bluntly, **Desu Arē Tōnamento Ni Sanka Suru Tsumoridesu Ka**? She Smiles To Herself And Says Yes. Both Warriors Unsheathe Their Swords And Get Into A Ready Position, Both Blades Reversed So No Death Can Occur, After A Minute Of Waiting, Both Combatants Spring Into Action And Exchange Strikes With Blazing Speed And Agility. Akane Has The Advantage At First, But As The Fight Progresses, Haruto Slowly Adapts To Her Speed And Precise Strikes And Is Able To Parry And Get A Few Clean Shots To Her Abdomen And Ribcage, Even As He Does This, It Only Seems To Fire Her Up More And Returns With A Strong Slash To Haruto's Arms And A Clean Shot Across The Front Of His Chest. He Coughs Up A Bit Of Blood And Smirks. Shall We Kick It Up A Notch?
