She was helpless now. He was just too tough for her. He had already incapacitated most of her group, and the rest retreated, leaving her to fend for herself. But when the exploding shuriken hit her, it was clear the victory was once again his. As he walked over to her, the short-haired ninja gave a little "Tch!" and knelt down next to the cute Esper laying on the floor with her dress torn as a result from the fight.

"So then, Fubuki," he started, resting his chin on his palm. "Do you admit defeat again?"

Her green eyes stared at him for a moment before she turned her head to the orange-colored sky and deep green trees and sighed.

"Do you really have to ask?"

"Well, yes, of course I do." he replied with his signature smirk. "The last time we fought, you were pretty persistent, even though I turned your outfit into ribbons and you knew you would lose to me in the end."

The Esper who was two years younger made no comments to that and furrowed her brows. She knew very well about the events that went down the last time she fought the ninja, and she didn't need him to remind of how he humiliated her.

"What's with that look?" he asked her. "Aw, I hate it when you frown like that. It's not a very good look for someone as cute as you."

His gaze fell from her face to down along her body. The shuriken mostly caused the tears on her dress, revealing her bare skin. The tip of his tongue ran along his lip and his eyes glistened with a hidden silver lust at the sight of the exposed black bralette slightly stretched by her large breasts.

"Mm," was all that came out as his teasing fingertips brushed against her waist. She felt it too, and the shinobi's smirk grew when he saw her flushed cheeks.

"What are you doing, Sonic?"

His eyes drifted back to hers and his hand gently brushed her fringe to the side as he leaned forward slightly, proceeding to stroke her.

"You're so delicate, for an Esper." he murmured in a tender voice. "What should I do with a pretty little thing like you, hm?"

She hesitated as she felt the smooth latex covering his hand on her cheek.

"Um...well, I..."

She flustered in embarrassment. What was he even trying to do? What was the ulterior motive? Of all the things she could easily sense from him, she could never figure this one thing out. His eyes were always difficult to read – it was almost impossible to know what he was thinking, especially at this moment. When she exhaled a deep breath, her nervousness left her and she finally gathered the courage to look him those beautiful grey eyes and to answer his first question.

"Sonic, your skills are worthy of a Class S," she whispered, "A B-Class hero like me could never win against someone like you, but...but I've always enjoyed letting you win..." - she finally spoke what he wanted to hear from her - "I admit defeat."

She was rewarded with something very unexpected: a kiss on her soft lips. He made sure it lasted - keeping his lips on hers for what felt like a few moments before pushing through them with his tongue. After a few licks, she felt her back being lifted off the earth, his arm around her waist, his fingers threading through her dark green hair as his lips brushed against her neck. She could feel them twist into a lustful smirk the moment a whimper of pleasure escaped her lips. Within the next second, his lips were just over her ear lobe as he purred seductively.
"You're mine, now. My...precious little Esper."
