R&R longer note at the end

Ikaruga stood with her sword waiting, it was the final day of her time at the shrine she had taken her time thanking her hosts but today was different, there was one thing she had left to do smiling as the sisters, Naraku and Kagura walked up. The black haired girl knelt down as Kagura approached smiling, she slowly waved the girl to stand up as Ikaruga got to her feet the other girls seemed confused by what was happening from the sudden request.

"Naraku, I would like to request a rematch with you" Ikaruga said as she locked eyes with the green haired girl a fire burning behind them, since her loss to the girl she had spent her whole time training her fight with Kafuru had proven she was close to learning the technique Naraku had tried to teach her, now she was sure she could perform it properly. Naraku stared back as she nodded agreeing to the match, seeing the passion in the sword woman's eyes made her realise there was no way she could back down now.

"Perfect" Kagura said clapping her hands together as she smiled "I'll referee this time". Both girls nodded as they walked forwards taking position, it was time to show the fruits of her training with a small little surprise at the end.

The two girls locked eyes as the smaller black haired girl took her place, the three sisters watched on from the side lines their eyes locked on the black haired sword woman. Something was different about her this time, the look in her eyes, the determination etched on her face told them everything they needed to know, this girl had something to prove to Kagura and Naraku but more importantly. She had something to prove to herself.

"Contenders ready?" Kagura called out smiling as they both nodded "Then begin!" The moment the match began Naraku charged her outfit changing in the blink of an eye as her flails dragged behind her as she ran jumping into the air, the sisters watched on as Ikaruga stood still almost like she was waiting for an opening. The two large iron balls slammed into the ground as the sisters winced believing the match to be over, Naraku landed as the leg flails shrunk to regular size Renka noted the large grin on her face as Hanabi tugged her sisters sleeve pointing to the other side of the arena.

"Impressive" Naraku said as she turned the iron balls scraping across the ground "I had believed you had given up with you failed to move but it seems you had a plan, perhaps you will prove to be a challenge this time". Kagura smiled as she watched, she had sensed it from day one there was something special about this girl she was truly full of surprises, her gaze turned back to her friend and guardian Naraku her strength and skill had always been on another level but maybe just maybe there was something more she could learn.

Ikaruga watched on as Naraku charged once more, she could see the slight differences in her movements in an attempt to confuse the black haired girl but it wouldn't work, she had a battle plan and she was going to execute it one way or the other. The green haired girl smirked as she hopped backwards swinging the leg flails as she went the iron balls grew in size as the length of the chains increased causing the two flails to collide with a loud bang, the three sisters covered their ears as the sound caused them to begin ringing.

"Secret ninja art: Flame pillar" the sound of Ikaruga's voice could be heard as everyone looked into the air, her white and gold shinobi outfit shone in the light as she dropped to the floor driving her sword into the ground. Naraku jumped backwards pulling her weapons back with her as blue flames shot from the ground where she had been standing moments ago, the sisters jumped back as they covered their eyes the heat from the pillar of flames radiated off them as their eyes began to sting.

Naraku watched feeling a little surprised, she remembered their first confrontation she had failed to fully form her shinobi armour the difference in their skill and power had been evident, in just a short time she had closed the gap between them so easily. Who was this girl? Just what kind of training had she been doing on her own?

As the blue flames dissipated Ikaruga charged the green haired girl causing her to use her flails as she shields, sparks began to fly as the two weapons collided the fire burned in Ikaruga's eyes as she continued her assault her determination to win fuelled her like a fire in her blood. This fight meant everything to her, she had come too far to lose again her, she had always been hardest on herself when she had lost, pushing herself to be the best and now it was time to prove her training was worth the trouble.

Naraku felt her grin turn into a smile as her blood began to pump a little faster, through her time as Kagura's appointed guardian she had faced off against many Shinobi warriors and Yōma but this girl was something else, this fight was something she hadn't anticipated. She couldn't lie to herself any longer, something about this girl, something about this fight made her realise. She was having fun.

"Secret ninja art: Six Paths of the Underworld" Naraku called out, no matter how much fun she was having this was still a fight and it was time it came to its close, jumping back Naraku raised her left leg high as the iron ball flew to her foot increasing in size as Naraku kicked it sending it flying on the long chain as Ikaruga blocked as best she could the ball flew back as Naraku continued to pound it with kicks sending it back at Ikaruga with increased speed and power causing the black haired girl to cry out as her body was repeatedly struck. Feeling she had done enough Naraku jumped into the air as the flail flew to her foot she smirked driving it into the ground as the shockwave sent the black haired girl flying backwards into a crumpled heap on the floor. Naraku stood looking as she expected to hear the words of her victory however Kagura continued to watch almost predicting something was going to happen, Naraku looked over as surprise flashed for a moment in her eyes as Ikaruga's body began to twitch with life as she used her sword to push herself back to her feet.

"Ultimate secret ninja art: Switch" Ikaruga called out, the onlookers mirrored confused looks as the black haired girl's body began to be engulfed in a familiar bright white light. The torn white and gold outfit began to dissipate as it was replaced, the girl's ample chest was hugged by a white and black cow print bikini with a brown jacket. Her white skirt and black tights were replaced with blue denim jeans, two black holsters hung from the snake skin belt, brown knee high cow girl boots formed as she pulled out two silver revolvers smirking.

"Secret ninja art: bullet hell" she called out as four golden rings began to form in the air surrounding the stunned green haired girl, two smaller rings appeared at the sides of Ikaruga as she pointed the guns to her sides as she pulled the triggers, a barrage of bullets peppered the green haired girl's body as she cried out in pain her outfit slowly being torn to shreds from the sudden barrage after a few moments the rings began to vanish as Naraku fell to the floor.

"Winner Ikaruga" Kagura called out as the black haired girl's lips formed into a large smile "It was a good match, congratulations to you both, however Ikaruga the biggest praise I give to you. Your training paid off and you managed to switch weapons during the match, the outfit change was something I hadn't predicted".

"Outfit change?" Ikaruga asked confused as she looked down at herself, her face burned with embarrassment as she saw what she was wearing dropping to her knee's as she covered herself. The three sisters chuckled watching her, as Naraku slowly forced herself to her feet walking over to the embarrassed girl offering her hand out helping them to their feet.

"Forget the outfit" Naraku said "You should stand proud, you have accomplished your goal, you avenged your loss to me". Ikaruga forced herself to look up as she slowly took Naraku's hand pulling herself to her feet, she shook the girl's hand as her outfit slowly changed back to her regular clothing.

"Thank you Naraku" Ikaruga said as she turned to the sisters "Thank you Hanabi, Renka and Kafuru but most importantly, thank you to you Lady Kagura". Ikaruga slowly took a knee bowing in respect to the five girls who had helped her in her selfish request of training, of taking over their home for a few weeks, she couldn't help the tears of joy that began to fall.

Well after a long hard journey Ikaruga has managed not one but two goals she had but is it enough to succeed in what she had planned? Only time will tell on that one.

Ok a few things before we go, I toyed with the idea of having Ikaruga have a rematch with the three sisters and Naraku, I also toyed with the idea of her facing off against Naraku and Kagura but I changed my mind with that one I wasn't sure how to do the switch in that one

Speaking of Switch, that is a OC ultimate ninja art I gave her along with the bullet hell move that was OC and because of the weapons that's why she had that outfit. Also flame pillar is an OC one as well and fit her moves a lot so it made sense once again

Now that we have cleared up that oh wait one last thing, switch might be changed in the future but we'll see, anyway thanks everyone for reading see you all soon
