TOKITO POV

It has been another day in the life of Tokito. If it usually begins in the Mibu Clan's place, but thanks to a certain someone who is blond and blind who had defeated her, her days begun to change. Her eyes started to open upon seeing something outside her belief. But her heart and mind let her emotions took control, she just can't change easily, she was ashamed by him and the others. She still wanted to keep the belief that she and the Mibu was above others. And what's better than to attack the weakest member of the Kyo gang who also had defeated her and destroyed her self esteem, the blond and blind Akira!

This was her ultimate reason of her chasing. She wanted a rematch, a rematch where she wins, a win that will reaffirm her belief that what she held dear wasn't wrong. She was so stubborn, she can't bring herself to see how the Mibu clan had changed, that's why she set her target and chased Akira.

However, it didn't go the way she intended it to be. One reason was how Akira refused a rematch stubbornly against her stubborn asking for a rematch, the other was, the longer she was in the outside world, it become clearer that this outside world is different and there's something that can only be found there (she immediately cleared her mind from an image containing a fire user who pops up a finger saying that with a straight face) .

It's not like the Mibu Sanctuary, it's ugly, harsh and had so many conflicts, but something was born within Tokito after this traveling. The constant refusal, the troubles they got into thanks to her recklessness, the constant pitying stares of those who thought who cruel Akira was for abandoning his lover, or how kind Akira can be if she ever needed help, the work and travel they done, seeing the outside world has greatly changed her mind.

Still, she bottled it inside her heart and never let it out, she can't, she can't do that. She doesn't want to change. That is why the greater the expose of the outside world and change in her heart made her worry and emotional. Emotions that turn into oil and fire for her will to have a rematch with Akira to reaffirm her belief, that was the last stick she held that made her endure all the hardships during her journey.

All this made her confused, what actually is Akira to her? She recounted how they first met, their battles, her win, her lost, his lost, his win, the clashing of belief and skills. That was their connection. And now, they made another by becoming the chaser and chased. What does she actually want to do after the match? She doesn't know, if she wins, she will have reaffirmation of her belief, but where will she go from there, the Mibu wasn't exactly the same, her world has changed greatly, and she wouldn't dare question the breakdown she will have if she lost.

Somehow, she knew Akira won't give in, given the probability of win, draw and loss won't get her anywhere. She somehow knew Akira's kindness behind the cold mask he put on. It was Akira who supported her during her breakdown, and she herself knew this "rematch with Akira" was just another running place for her, it was her support to run away from the truths of her life. And no matter what, he did support her during this chase. Was it because she wanted Akira to become her support? No, she blushed and shaked her head, that can't be.
