She felt herself giving way and knew she couldn't hold out much longer. She had pushed herself to her limit and hadn't even managed to use all her cards yet. She mentally sighed knowing she should've just let them see the extent of her power. 'But what good would that do now?' She thought bitterly to herself. She then saw the gleam of steel as the sun hit it just right and knew that her life was about to end. She smirked though at the prospect of it. There was a bitter irony to all of this, one that she found mildly amusing.
She waited for the sting of the blades to descend upon her, stealing the breath from her body. She dared those gleaming swords to strike her body with their best shot…
But the pain never came.
Yui looked up at the men before her and saw their attention diverted from her. Though she didn't know what they were looking at and she couldn't look even if she wanted to. The blow to the head she had received had messed up her vision and it swam in and out of focus as her head pounded with each beat of her heart. It was aggravating.
She heard a shout from somewhere in the horde but didn't know where and then she was hauled up to her feet by the Senshi leader as he glared at her. "Not so tough now are you?" He said in a deep, menacing voice. She just spit at him and laughed. This only seemed to provoke the coming fight as he wiped away the spit and threw his hardest punch at her already bruised face. Yui grunted as he had dropped her to the ground. She wiped away the blood from her mouth and glared with her glowing eyes at the Senshi.
"Fitting, is it not, that I should meet my end at your hands?" She said. He scoffed at her and drew his sword.
"Your end? No, I have much more appealing plans for you… Yui." Her eyes narrowed at the sound of her name. She didn't know where he learned it from. Then he looked past her, ahead of his army and cursed under his breath. "It would seem that you've got some reinforcements." Then he grabbed Yui's arm and forcefully dragged her away as she stumbled to keep up with his pace. She struggled against his iron grip but he held her fast and she couldn't get away. "Quit struggling or I'll be forced to rid you of your legs." Yui's eyes widened and she obediently quite trying to get away. He dragged her deep into the horde of his army and threw her at some of his men. "Hold her here. If she tries to escape… kill her." Then he walked away and disappeared in the ocean of men.
Yui stared up at the men around her who smirked in her direction. They looked perverse, and perverted. These men were no warriors they were cowards, and they slaughtered everything to maintain their power in the world.
Yui rested her head on the ground as she lay there; she obviously had nothing better to do. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before opening her eyes back up and while one was still glowing that purplish-pink, the other was glowing neon red. She was tired of being the one who did nothing. If she died here then so-be-it be she wasn't going to just lay here and be obedient to a tyrant. So with that in mind she curled her legs back to her body and then pushed herself upwards as she jumped with her hands—pushing herself from the ground—and landing on her feet. Then men standing guard around her quickly pointed their weapons towards her in case she tried to make a move. Which, she did, but they weren't prepared for it.
The cards that had been surrounding her—that had disappeared momentarily when she had been assaulted—now appeared from behind her and began circling her body once again. She smirked as she took one and threw it out in front of her, regaining her staff which she re-broke into two swords again. Then she took another card and brought back the disk only it was jagged in its edges and looked more menacing. She tossed it out and let it cut her a pathway to the front of the army once again.
Yui fought vigorously as she made her way to the front. It was a painstakingly slow process but it was progress. And she didn't have time to complain about it. Eventually she just jumped high into the air and easily flipped her way over to the front of the army. There, standing not but sixty meters away was another army. Smaller… a lot smaller, but Yui_ recognized it to be the ninja of Konoha. However compared to the Senshi army of ten-thousand, Konoha had an army of barely two hundred.
Yui let out a sorrowful sigh, there would be a lot of bloodshed today…
...
She stood directly in front of Konoha's small army and almost collapsed in front of them, but she held herself up. Her vision swam slightly and she took a moment to regain her balance before speaking. "Konoha! Get back to your homes!" She shouted. Tsunade was the one to reply since she was standing at the front.
"We're not leaving Yui!"
Yui was soaked in blood—everyone noticed—and she shook her head at the Hokage's words. "This isn't your fight! This is mine! Now go! I won't have your blood on my hands."
"You can't do this alone Yui." It was Shikamaru this time. Yui chuckled and turned her back to the ninja.
"Watch me."
Her balance was terrible for the next couple minutes as she ran back towards the horde of the army, Tsunade and Shikamaru yelling at her to come back. They hadn't noticed the determination set in Yui's posture and the glow of her eyes. She was too far gone in her blood lust to listen to reason. These men were the cause of all her problems and she wanted all their heads on a spike! She roared loudly as she charged back into danger, her swords in her hands. The disk kept on slicing through steel and flesh but it killed barely five warriors every time it made a cycle around and back to Yui's hands and it did little to diminish numbers. Yui sliced the razor edges of her blades through the thick armor of the Senshi and blood flew in all directions—coating her even more in crimson red.
Yui, usually so cheery and kind, had lost all pretenses of her past self and now concentrated solely on her motive. That someone needed to pay for their crimes, and while she knew her judgment would come in due time, she would take the judging of these cowards into her own hands.
Slash
Cut
Jab
Her assaults continued but the army only seemed to grown as it crowded around her. Behind where she was fighting she heard the sounds of elements as the Hidden Leaf ninja used jutsus to attack their enemies. Fire, Earth, Wind, Water, and Lightning styles all flew across the battlefield, coating the sky in an array of colors. There were also Taijutsu going on as well as the genjutsu and ninjutsus. But the affects were not as effective as the fighting styles Yui used. The ability to wield a sword and know how to use it was far better than the abilities of elements. Although they did have great advantages in most areas. But here it would have been much better if they had more skill with weapons. The Senshi—after all—prided themselves in donning elemental resistant armor, and so the jutsus had minor or minimal effects on them.
'Where's a skilled warrior when you need one?' Yui asked herself. Then—as if on cue—someone appeared at her side. She looked over, half expecting to see an enemy, only to notice Toshiyoto. He held a similar weapon as she did only his one sword was handmade and not created from magical cards. And in his other hand he held a large round shield.
"Need backup, milady?" He asked. She nodded,
"It never hurts to have some." Then they were off, engaged together in combat. Where he had come from she didn't know but what she did know was that his help was very welcome in the current circumstances. If they both made it out of this alive then she could ask questions but right now was not the time. Toshiyoto brought his sword in an array of gleaming arcs that pierced the Senshi armor and sent blood flying.
It was a blood fest.
More Senshi came at them and in quick succession Toshiyoto would slice at one body and the viciously ram his shield into another body, the impact enough to break and crack ribs as well as dislocate jaws and cause fatal injuries. Yui approached things a little less violently as she simply hacked away at the Senshi with her razor sharp sword. The cuts were clean and easy, and she didn't pause to do anything more. Toshiyoto also had a very forceful swing with his sword, an example would be right now… He saw an overhand swing coming at him from the foe in front of him and he swung at the same time with his own over handed arc that was forceful enough to where it tore the man's hand from his arm and the man screamed in agony. But no one was there to care.
"I see you haven't lost your edge, Toshiyoto."
"Never milady," He replied with a smirk as he hacked away at the next two foes.
