Akuma was walking th, wait. Let me rephrase that. Akuma was ANGRILY STOMPING through the forest. There. that sounds a lot like him, doesn't it? Okay, so! Akuma was angrily stomping through the forest, looking for worthy foes. "Hmm," he thought out loud (not that anyone could hear him). "Is anyone worth a fight? Anyone?" He continued on a dirt path between trees, searching. He passed by a bear carcass that he had, well, you get the picture. Guess bears aren't worthy of his time. "I'm getting tired of ripping bodies apart! Give me a CHALLENGE!" his voice echoed as he stepped over a few bodies that were alive before he had encountered them a while ago. Then, he heard rustling in the bushes. Akuma listened. "I thought I killed everything here," he pondered scratching his head. Seems like it, huh? Well, he was about to see what else was about to die here in a few moments. He kicked a bunny corpse out of the way as he approached the bushes and noticed a blue haired young woman was crying. Akuma huffed, crossing his arms. "Awww, whatever is the matter, little girly?" his patronizing "concern" prodded. She turned to him. "My father. He's missing." Akuma smirked and looked around him. "He's...probably dead. I mean, who knows, right?" he let out a light snicker. "His body's probably lying about here somewhere. Here. Let's find his corpse. What'd he use to look like?" The woman did not find this amusing. "Asshole." Akuma showed fake fear. "Oooh!" He waved his hands as if he were in despair. "Whatever will I do?" The woman positioned herself. "I, Kasumi Todoh, challenge you to a FIGHT."

Akuma's eyes grew. Then, he laughed. "You kill me! Ha! Go run along now. By the looks of things, you...just might lose. Juuust might." He picked up a limb of a man he tore through earlier and non-chalantly tossed it aside. "See?" Kasumi was unmoved. "I fight with honor. you're a disgrace. Now, did you see my father?" Akuma shrugged. "Hey, I offered to help you look at the tons of bodies just lying around here!" Kasumi gritted her teeth and looked like she was ready to attack. Akuma's eyebrows arched. "You sure you wanna?" Akuma asked, but in a sing songy manner. "You sure?" Kasumi spat "you think this is a game!" Akuma looked around again. "You're looking at my rave reviews. I'd give myself five stars. I'm sure that everyone I killed would say the same." Akuma beckoned Kasumi. "Come get some!" Kasumi, in a way, was scared. Wouldn't say anyone could blame her! Surrounded by blood, she knows Akuma is the real deal. "You know, once I do the Raging Demon, it's over, right?" Akuma pointed out. She studied Akuma carefully. "He's GOT to have a weakness. I mean, he's got all of that power," she thought to herself. And then, she had an idea.

"Akuma!" Kasumi shouted. "I'm ready for you!" Akuma woke up from nodding off. "Oh," he uttered wiping the slobber off from his mouth. "Yeah! Make this worthwhile, bitch!" Akuma would take it easy at first to see if she even could fight. He threw a punch and Kasumi countered it, but Akuma teleported out of it. "That's cheating!" Kasumi yelled. Akuma flung his arms out. "Y-y-you countered my move!" Kasumi looked around. "You sure you killed everyone out here...?" Akuma folded his arms. "Um, yeah!" Kasumi narrowed her eyes. Akuma got flustered and stomped a foot. "I did! Okay, that's it. You're going to die!" He unleashed a barrage of fireballs, in which Kasumi countered them all. "What?" Akuma was scratching his head. "I don't remember you from Third Strike." Kasumi motioned. "You mad?" Akuma had enough! It was time. "Here I go!" Everyone reading this story all had gasped for they knew this was it. RAGING DEMON! Kasumi was finished. Thoughts of her dead body flickered in Akuma mind. Akuma initiated the move, glowing red, and rapidly began going toward Kasumi and... Kasumi simply jumped out of the way, came behind Akuma as he was recovering from the move and pulled off her Ecstacy Crunch! Akuma felt it and fell over. He was out of breath.

"Time out." Akuma was gasping as he formed his hands in a time out formation as he lied on the ground. Kasumi was appalled. "Anddddd...I'm supposed to be scared of you?" Akuma in between breaths said, "Okay, you figured me out. My stamina sucks. Don't tell anyone though. PLEASE don't tell anyone. Especially Ryu. He wouldn't let me live it down. " Kasumi stopped him. "As in Ryuhaku Todo? My father?" she beamed. Akuma scrunched his face. "Uh, no..." he scoffed. "I don't care about your dad, you greasy faced little fuck." Kasumi kicked Akuma. Akuma held up a hand. "I'm... still in time out." Kasumi kicked him again. "I'll rip... off your leg..." Kasumi stopped. "Why are you so out of shape?" Akuma sighed. "I'm NOT out of shape." Kasumi nodded. "Uh huh. Look at you! You're so out of breath! Are you an asthmatic?" Akuma stopped to think. "Not that I know of..." Akuma shook his head. "Wait, why am I conversing with you? YOU should be the one lying on the ground, blood spurting here and there and stuff," he said, motioning with his hands. "YOU should be dismembered by my own hands, your neck twisted broken, eyes rolled back, tongue hanging out of your mouth, skin turning blue, bones sticking out, flies ever-" Kasumi cut him off. "Okay, I get it." Akuma got up, but he still didn't get his composure back 100%. "Tell you what," Akuma snarled. "You help me with my stamina and I'll help you find your dad." Kasumi thought "soooo...if I help you, you're not going to go "foolish girl!" then kill me and continue on your path of destruction?" Akuma folded his arms. "I mean, I'm unstoppable, buuuut. I won't kill you." Kasumi held out a hand to shake it, and looked at Akuma. "You're not going to rip my arm off, are you?" Akuma shook his head. "You'd probably counter it or some shit. I don't know. I'm losing my touch. You should've been dead." He shook her hand. Kasumi smiled. "I know."
