"Excuse me, hands of the merchandise."
Evan and Reiko turned to see Sora, slightly angry. Some of the elfin people turned their heads to look at the inevitable fight. They formed a circle around the three.
"Merchandise? Gee, I thought this was a girl, a very pretty one I might add." Evan cooed.
"You know what I mean, fool." Sora spit. Reiko moved from her place next to Evan to the middle of the circle.
"Don't fight, Sora! We still need to fight Kei!" Reiko shouted. Her expression changed to a pleading look. "Please?"
Sora didn't back down. He stood upright and clenched his fists. Soon after, he was surrounded in a blue aura.
"If that's the ay you want to play," Evan said, calmly. He took a large blue-bladed sword out of its scabbard. "Let's play."
Evan shot out at Sora swinging his sword narrowly over Sora's head, but he dodged by sliding. He lay on his stomach for a second, but regained his ground.
"You are no where near being worthy of Reiko! I'll win her for sure" Evan smirked.
"Fat chance, pretty boy!" Sora shouted back. Reiko backed away, next to Motoko.
"What is this, Motoko?" Reiko whispered to her.
"Simple. They're fighting over you." Motoko answered with a small grin.
Reiko blushed and looked over at the battle. 'So that's why Sora was so angry when I spoke to Evan....'
Sora was as feisty as ever. Every time Evan went to chop his head off, he would evade the attack. Slash, miss. Slash, miss. It went on like that of a while.
"Argh, you're faster than I thought." Evan said, putting away his blade. "How about fist to fist?"
'Finally, something I can do..' Sora thought gratefully. 'I'm not about to lose.'
Sora changed stances, and took one last glance at Reiko for now. He was sure she wouldn't want to speak or see him after this now for fighting. She was with the rest of the crowd, only not chanting or rooting for anyone in particular. Motoko gave a stern nod to him and then nodded in the way of Evan. He was about ready to fight.
"Ready?" Evan asked, with a smirk.
"Go." Sora bluntly said.
The two charged forward. Sora was the first to strike this time, landing a left punch on Evan's shoulder. He tried a right, but Evan blocked it with his right arm. Sora and Evan jumped back again and charged. Sora ducked a right and kicked Evan in the stomach. He held his stomach with his right hand, and landed a left punch in Sora's face. They both stepped back again to recover for a few seconds.
"I-if Reiko was ever in t-trouble, y-you would n-never be able to p-protect her you know." Evan sputtered.
"How do you know? She can handle herself pretty well anyway." Sora managed to get out.
"Okay, will you two stop now?" Reiko said, stepping in the middle of the two.
"Yeah," Sora said grabbing his face that was blinding with pain.
"Anything for you, my lady." Evan chirped. Reiko looked at Sora, who was still holding his face. She walked over to him, kneeled down and moved his hand from his face. There was something wrong with his skin.
"Evan! What did you do to him?" She yelled desperately.
"It just a little deformation power. Many ninjas use it." Evan responded. The crowd gasped. "It should wear off in a little while. No man can take that pain." Reiko held Sora face. There were a few strange blue marks forming on his face. The crowd had disbanded and it was just Evan, Reiko, Sora and Motoko.
"Motoko! Get me water! Quick!" Reiko yelled.
Evan stood next to Reiko. "Why do you even care?" He asked.
"Sora is my friend. I can't believe this. An unfair fight? How cruel!" She yelled. Motoko returned with a pail of water and a cloth. Reiko dipped the cloth in the water and began to wipe his face. Sora was in blinding pain, but was not about to cry. Evan snatched the cloth from Reiko, and handed it to Motoko.
"She can do this. Come with me."
"But I have to......" Reiko trailed off. Evan picked up Reiko and slung her over his back.
"If you want her, come and claim her!" Evan told Sora who managed to look up. Motoko continued to wipe his face so he could see. Reiko reached for her katana to threaten Evan with, but noticed it wasn't there.
"Ah ah ah! I don't think so." He was holding her katana. "Sora, I'll meet you and you companions at Kei's hide out. You'll know where it is." He left with Reiko screaming.
"Sora!! Help!"
Motoko and Sora watched helplessly as Evan left.
Aki, Kilana and Yuji arrived behind Sora. It was up to them now to stop Kei and save Reiko.
