Blood Brothers Part 2

[Both boys once brothers were now engulfed in a intense battle. A battle that would bring out an potential either didn't know about.] We both approached each other before throwing another attack at each other. 

But before our attacks reached, a rock hit Masaki in the head causing him to fall. Looking at him fall confused, I felt a hard sensation at my temple before falling too. Rubbing my head, I looked towards where the attack came from. 

"What was that for." 

Masaki as well rubbed his head looking at the girl in the place of the attack. Breathing heavy, Oe looked at us both with an angered expression. 

"You idiots, are you guys stupid. This wasn't the objective."

Looking at us and talking in between breaths Oe continued. 

"Sensei didn't take us here to fight each other, that wasn't the goal."

Staring at her confused I began thinking, before Masaki spoke up. 

"Why would Sensei put us in a forest with no directions besides where the others are." 

"You idiot, I used my technique. He didn't send us to fight each other but to fight h-"

Before she could finish, Oe looked at us wide eyed. Me and Masaki looked at each other. 

"Fight who." 

Masaki tried to figure out what Oe meant, before I noticed that Oe's eyes weren't on us but behind us. Turning around I got up instantly entering a battle stance and feeling sweat on my neck. 

"Me, your goal is to land a hit on me." 

Masaki turned around too. Getting up and grabbing his wooden sword to. All three of us stared at Sensei, who leaned on a tree with his arms crossed. 

I quickly turned to Masaki.

"Masaki, Oe will stay in the back and you and me will be the main attackers. Oka-"

Before I could finish my sentence, I felt my feet lift off the ground as Sensei somehow was in front of me. Sending a punch at me. As my legs left the ground, I felt my body fly through the air. 

Landing some way away. I struggled to get up, feeling my head spin. 

'How hard did he hit me.'

Getting up while stumbling, looking forward I saw that Masaki was fighting Sensei while Oe stayed back throwing rocks infused with cursed energy. Sensei dodged all of the attacks with ease, sometimes throwing back an attack. But Oe quickly warned Masaki before they went out causing him to be able to dodge. 

Getting to my feet, my head finally stopped spinning. Using my cursed technique, I summoned five clones. Sending three at the battle while, I used the other two as cannons. My clones held me before using their cursed energy to throw me. Heading into the battle at high speeds even passing the other three clones. I threw an attack at Sensei while he was focused on Masaki. 

But to my surprise he turned around hitting me into the ground.

"Nishimoto, his leg."

Looking to my right, moving out of the way I was able to dodge a kick from sensei. Getting up from the ground, I flipped back before the clones came surrounding Sensei.

Masaki moved back as well; we stood together trying to think before we had to go back into the battle. Watching the clones, I noticed Sensei dispatch of them easily.

'Is it his technique.'

Seeing him do it with ease and his eyes being able to easily react to the clones. I knew it was not that.

'He's just that fast.'

Looking at Masaki we matched gazes before nodding. Summoning only three clones due to my cursed energy starting to fall, me and Masaki ran at Sensei together.

Reaching Sensei first, I attacked with my clones while Masaki approached taking a deep breath. His sword touched the ground as I began to smile. 

"Taking down a Special grade would make us one two right sensei?"

[Cursed technique: Vibration - Form 2 - Dead Calm.]

A small vibration rang through the ground, on the opposite side of Sensei. Masaki started slashing at Sensei, his attack being able to reach Sensei. Causing him to stop dodging. 

With my clones on the other side, we started throwing out attacks. Sensei blocked the combination of attacks only dodging sometimes against my attacks. 

"I'm proud of you guys. But don't get cocky."

Grabbing the wooden sword from Masaki easily, Sensei hit the three clones causing them to disappear. He quickly lifted the sword at me ready to attack.

"I think you forgot a student, Sensei." 

[Cursed Technique: Butterfly's Almighty Effect.]

A rock infused with cursed energy hit Sensei's head. Sensei turned his head looking at Oe who was smiling. 

Looking at the Sensei's surprised face, I feel back on my back. Breathing heavy I looked at Masaki who was sitting down. Both of us met each other's gaze giving a small nod. 

"Seems I did forget a student; did you plan this?"

Sensei turned to me with a serious expression.

"I knew all I had to do was create an opening and Oe would see it. It is her technique's main advantage; she can see things and opportunities that others can't. She knows what attack would work too. An attack even you couldn't see."

"You said it yourself Sensei. You taught Nishimoto how to adapt to his opponent. All I had to do was follow his lead." 

Masaki said breathing hard.

All three of us looked at Sensei victorious. Sensei's serious expression turned to one of happiness as he started laughing.

"You brats did good."

He said looking at all of us, he rubbed my hair before turning around.

"Come on, let's enjoy the nice weather today."

"You mean we're staying."

Looking at him excitedly, I got up from the ground and followed behind him.

"Yep, that was just a little test I wanted to do. Now it's time for the official Occult club camping trip."

All of us walked behind him before he walked us to a campsite. With tents and even a campfire. All three of us looked at the campsite astonished. 

"When did you set this up."

Masaki walked around, staring at the tents. 

"When you and Nishimoto we're fighting. I knew I had sometime before rushing to the battle."

Sensei walked into a tent before grabbing a huge bag with stuff in it. 

"Here. I know your old sword has been chipping lately."

Taking out a Katana in its Saya. Handing it to Masaki he looked at him smiling. Masaki took it out of its Saya before looking at the sharp blade. I turned to Sensei confused. 

"What is that, Sensei?"

"It's a cursed sword called Suigetsu."

"Cursed."

Oe muttered looking at the blade. Sensei chuckled before grabbing the sword.

"Cursed just means it has a special attribute. When you pour cursed energy into it, it brings to life images in your head."

As he held the Katana energy wrapped around it before the scenery around us changed. We were now in a place that looked like the ground reflected the deep blue sky. I looked around astonished by the swords effect. Sensei put the blade back into the Saya before handing it back to Masaki. 

"Use it wisely. Now for you Oe." 

Taking out another item from the bag, he takes out a pouch with Kunai in it.

"I can tell from your fighting style you're a long-ranged fighter. So, I got this for you the Demonic Riptide."

Handing it to her Oe looked at the pouch, it had an elegant design. Looking at Sensei, I asked him a question. 

"What does it do."

"I was hoping you asked."

Holding the Kunai that came with it, he threw all five of them at a tree. They swished in the air smacking the tree. But after some time, they disappeared. 

"Where did they go."

Masaki said looking at where they disappeared at. Turning towards Oe who stood right before Sensei, I looked at the pouch in her hand seeing the Kunai in the pouch. 

"They return to the pouch after being thrown."

Looking excitedly at Sensei he smiled before confirming my theory.

"Bingo. Now it's your turn."

Reaching into bag he pulled out a necklace.

"This necklace is probably the most important tool out of the three. With this necklace, if you take enough damage, it will protect you. It's called the Phoenix's wings."

He handed it to me before I put it around my neck. We all stood together, admiring our new tools. Masaki put the sword on his back before looking at Sensei.

"Where did you get these." 

"When I was away those few weeks back, I got a charitable donation from big a charitable family."

I remembered what he was talking about. He had left for a bit to meet a "friend" apparently.

Sensei sat down on a chair he taken out from a tent. 

"What's the family's name."

I asked Sensei thinking that it was some super rich family. 

"Zenin." 

Sensei started chuckling after this before leaning his head back looking at the sky.

"But enough of that. Let's enjoy our time together."

We all smiled before grabbing chairs for ourselves and joining sensei.
