Both boys have clashed their weapon and then they pushed away each other. They both landed onto the ground and glanced at each other. Maki quickly jumped off from the tree and stood near with Aki in her battle stance.
"Finally, you exposed yourself." the boy said, and when he saw the other girl who was now with the boy with katana, he added, "You even have a company after all." the boy smiled, like he was glad that he was going to face two opponents at once.
"What the…?" Maki said to herself, "It's just a kid! He is even younger than we are!" she still couldn't believe, that they must fight a kid.
"Hey! I'm not a kid!" the youngest one shouted.
Aki looked at the place where the couple was the last time, and saw that they were running to the exit of the park, when they left the park he turned his head to the oy and said to Maki.
"Maki, be careful. Even if he is a kid, the way he attacked me, didn't belong to a novice fighter." Maki looked at him and nodded, she knew that Aki is quite good in analyzing, and if he says that the situation is danger, and then it really is so, she nodded and prepared herself for a fight. They both dashed to him, Aki was ahead of Maki, he tried to do a slice attack, but the boy just merely jumped away from his attack and then Maki jumped away from her comrade's back and was about to use her fist for breaking some bones, but the boy quickly jumped away for a short distance from the girl. Maki hit the ground with her glove and left a small cavity after her strike. But then the boy quickly reached Maki and was about to use his claws against her, but Aki successfully blocked his attack. Aki pushed the boy again and dashed to him quickly in order to slash his leg, but the boy jumped away again making a summersault and then quickly headed to the boy with the katana, Aki blocked the boys lunge and then, Aki saw that Maki was on her way to help her friend Maki prepared to strike the boy's back but boy jumped away from the girl and then made another summersault to make a distance between them for catching the breath.
"Damn, his jumps are really annoying." Maki said to Aki, "He is like a kangaroo."
"Wow, you thought out my sobriquet, impressive!" the boy exclaimed happily.
"Maki, I will try to fight him and you will try to wait for a moment and then strike him." she nodded and stepped away from her classmate. Aki rushed to the boy and started to hit him with his katana, his strikes and lunges were quick and strong, but Kangaroo dodged and parried them successfully, they both were fighting with the same speed and Maki didn't know when it will be perfectly to attack. But suddenly, when Aki's sword was blocked with the claws again, Maki decided to attack their enemy, she dashed to Kangaroo and was about to hit him.
'Well, you want to play tough huh?' he thought, and hit the ground under his leg and there appeared a ground wall near with him, the wall protected him from the girl fist, and could withstand to her power. He pushed the boy shoved Aki again and jumped onto the wall he created. "I must admit, you fighting skills are good, but I should warn, give up and come with me peacefully, and I'll let you live."
"Ha, the hell we do this." Maki declared, not giving a chance to Aki to respond. "If you have the power to control the ground, it doesn't mean that we will give up to you!"
"You're a brave girl after all. I like brave girls, but I must warn you that I'm not alone here too." he said this and raised his hand.
When the boy raised his hand they saw a spark which was quickly going to Maki. Aki noticed that and headed to his comrade immediately he jumped and pushed her aside.
"What the…?" Maki didn't understand what happened, but when she looked at the place she was standing several seconds ago, she saw that the ground had a whole, "What happened?" she still couldn't understand what happened, however she quickly exclaimed, "Look out!" and rolled with Aki to different sides. When they got up in their legs Aki saw that this time the boy had attacked them, because he was standing on their place with his claws in the ground, he was trying to pull his them out of the ground.
"Now, it's our chance!" Aki exclaimed and dashed to the kid, the boy saw Aki and thought, 'Dammit, I can't pull them out!' but there appeared another spark which stroke between two Taimanins and the boy. Aki and Maki could leap away from the line of the fire the used their heels for it.
"Maki, contact with the others! There's a sniper somewhere!" Aki shouted to his classmate.
"Understood!" she put on her hand onto her ear and exclaimed, "Guys, we need some help in the central park!" and quickly jumped again as she saw another spark, but this time it was from another angle.
'Good job Hush.' the kid thought pulling out his claws from the ground. Then he saw that both hunters were on their way to face him again. The boy quickly laid his hands onto the ground and a pair of hands appeared out of it. One has successfully grabbed Aki, but another one was, destroyed by Maki, then she quickly ran to Aki and destroyed the other hand.
"Are you alright?" she asked her friend.
"Yeah." Aki responded her, "Thank you, for the help, I owe you."
"Then you'll be everything what I want in cafeteria." she said smiling, the boy nodded with a smile and both of them turned their head, to the kid.
"Hush the girl is first!" Kangaroo said as he put his hand onto his ear, then several seconds have past and the new spark appeared and it was aimed at Maki. She successfully dodged it and then the kid quickly appeared behind her preparing his claws to attack the girl, but Aki was in time to protect her again, however his hand was received some scratched from kid's claws. The boy landed onto the ground putting his hand onto the grounds and in the place where Maki and Aki were standing appeared several stone spikes. Aki and Maki varied all spikes without a single scratch and headed to the boy. They continued their fighting, but Kangaroo noticed that the sparks stopped. "It seems that he became busy too." the kid looked at the place where the sparks were coming from.
While the kid was fighting two young hunters, the group of Murasaki and Rinko was on their way to help to their comrades, they were in a big hurry.
"Rinko! Speed up!" she ordered to her student.
"Yes, sensei!" Rinko responded and tried to increase her speed, but she suddenly saw a strange spark in front of them, "Sensei! Have you seen this?" she asked her teacher.
"Yes." Murasaki responded nodding, and then they saw another spark it was appeared in one place, but quickly changed the direction, "Rinko, look from where these sparks are going."
Rinko nodded and closed her eyes, then she opened them and they become light purple, she started to watch carefully and then suddenly said, "Yes, I see someone in front of us! He is in three or two minutes from us to the North!"
"Okay, let's go then!" she said to her student and then they rushed with everything they got. They were jumping by the roofs for whole one minute or a bit more then Murasaki stopped Rinko and said her.
"Let's use teleportation."
"Are you sure sensei?" Rinko wasn't sure about such idea, "Isn't it much better to continue our way?"
"It's better for us to catch him unawares, because he can quickly retreat to his comrades."
"I see." Rinko responded and closed her eyes again and then opened the she quickly found the person they were looking for and then they quickly appeared behind him.
Murasaki took out her axe from her back and put the blade of it to his neck.
"Low your gun and surrender." the woman in white costume and blue hair ordered, to the person in dark purple armor who was lying on the edge of the building with a sniper gun in his hands. The person said nothing, he also didn't going to low his sniper gun, and however he stopped his shots. "Didn't you hear me?" Yatsu Murasaki asked the person and got her axe closer to his neck. The person still didn't respond, and then suddenly Rinko said to her teacher pointing into the night sky.
"Sensei! Look out!" Murasaki raised her hand and saw like something was heading at her side with fascinating speed. She quickly grabbed the hilt of her axe and prepared to strike the strange thing. 'A bird?' she thought first. But when she was about strike that thing it quickly changed its direction and flew up. Murasaki's and Rinko's attention was disturbed from the person and he quickly hit Murasaki at her leg, and then at her shoulder, these quick strikes made her fall onto the ground then the person jumped and landed onto his legs, and quickly headed to Rinko. The purple hair huntress was prepared for his attack and made a swing in front of that person, but he dodged it, however Rinko could get his sniper gun slicing it in two pieces. He landed onto the ground and what onto the part of the gun which was in his hand and quickly threw it away. Both women rushed to the person with their weapons prepared, they started to attack him quickly trying at least not to kill him, but merely give him serious wounds. However the person preferred to dodge form their attacks, his movements were smooth and graceful like he wasn't fighting them, but dancing. Sometime there appeared, the flying object near with the person, but it didn't attack the huntresses, it was only meddling them to fight the person.
"This damn drone." Murasaki hissed through her teeth, "We must destroy it somehow."
Rinko nodded, and squatted down like she was about to jump. Murasaki started to attack the person again, but this time he raised his hand to his face and started to push something on it. Rinko jumped and appeared behind the drone and was about to slice it like the man's sniper gun was sliced, but drone made a loop, and now it was behind Rinko. The man stretched his right hand and a blade appeared out from his hand and out of his left arm appeared something what reminded an iron whip.
"Sensei, it seems that he is going to fight seriously now." Rinko said looking examining his weapons.
"Yes, be careful." she said to her purple haired pupil, and as the woman said it, the person quickly ran to their side, he raised his right arm and tried to stoke Murasaki with his blade, but closed herself with the hilt, Rinko tried to use teleportation and appeared straight behind the enemy, she was about to give him a strong strike, but the drone quickly hit her and flew up in the sky again.
"Damn, thing." Rinko gritted her teeth and got up, she looked at Murasaki who was fighting the man and shouted, "Sensei, I'll deal with drone, is it fine with you?"
"Yes!" Rinko heard an exclamation, and then she started to catch the moment for a good attack. The drone was quite smart, its flight was unpredictable, Rinko still tried to get it with her katana.
Murasaki, blocked all person's attacks perfectly, however with her weapon it was pretty difficult to find a good moment for a counterattack, he wanted to hit him with the hilt of her axe, but the person jumped away and quickly used his whip. The whip quickly winded around woman's axe and with the same speed he snatched it out of her hands. The axe was fallen down onto the fringe of the roof. Then he immideately rushed to her. He prepared his left arm to attack; the woman dodged it and grabbed his right arm, for the elbow, and threw him over herself. The person fell down onto his back, and in now time he saw how the woman he was fighting was about to strike him with her heel. He quickly rolled aside and quickly got up onto his legs.
Meanwhile Rinko was trying to get the drone that started to unnerve her a lot. She decided not to lose her powers in tries to catch it; she decided to wait until it won't fly to her. And this she found such opportunity she saw how the drone was flying to her. She squeezed the hilt of her katana and closed her eyes, and in no time she appeared in front of the drone, with one swing she could reach its left wing, the drone has sank to left side still saving an opportunity to fly, but with less speed then before. The machine tried to change it direction quickly, and headed to the person in metal armor, it reached him and fixed onto his chest. Then Murasaki suddenly heard a voice in her communicator.
"Sensei, we would like to have some help here?" the voice belonged to Maki.
"We're busy here too!" Murasaki responded running to her axe, "Did you try to contact with Kuro?" she asked her.
"Yes, but we can't contact with him." Murasaki heard the voice of her pupil.
"What?!" she shouted, and tried to contact with her brother, "Kuro! Where are you?! Do you hear me?!" but there were also some interferences. 'Shit! Do they turn off his signal?'
When two teams left to their locations which were in different sides. Kuro was left to stand on the roof all alone. The blind hunter took a deep breath and started to think about what they can meet tonight. He remembered his fight with members of "The Third Law", and he knew that they are powerful, he had already fought tree of them. He was trying to analyze everything he saw. He remembered his fight with the Polish psychiatric and the other person with flame abilities. He admitted that he could defeat that duo. Then he remembered the person in the cloak and the hood, he used wind abilities, he understood that the man was strong and it was pretty difficult for Kuro to defeat him alone, he also knew that the man wasn't fighting with full powers, and was just succumbing to him. And the most things that startled him, was the warrior in metal armor with halberd, Miyata Ioshito. It was not a difficult to understand that the duo of Miyata and that mysterious person was trembling and terrible.
The other thing, he was thinking about was about the help he suddenly received, these strange shots, that were aimed at his enemies, he was glad that someone helped him, but it was really unnerving, that he didn't know those who aided him. He decided to investigate the place between two teams and refresh his mind at the same time, many thoughts were coming to him, but there was no even one answer for even one of them. He started to jump from one roof to another, trying to find something suspicious, but everything was peacefully, he started to think that this mission won't be successful for them as they still found nothing, the high commanding demanded results, but they were just in the beginning, and it made him upset, he also lost two of his subordinates, and the worst thing was that he didn't know where he must look for them.
He continued to jump from roof to roof, he forgot about the time, and went deep in his thoughts. Suddenly he heard a strange noise which was behind him; he stopped for a second and started to listen for the sounds he heard. He heard some steps after him, he admitted that there were several people five or seven, and they quickly were stealing up to him.
'An ambush?' he thought and put his arm onto the hilt of his blade. He took it out in no time and prepared himself for the upcoming battle. When he was prepared several objects appeared in front of him, one of them stepped forward and said, with mechanical voice.
"Anti-demon ninja, Yatsu Kuro, low your weapon and surrender."
'Cyborgs, huh?' he thought, 'Wonderful!' the man squeezed the hilt tighter and referred nothing.
"Surrender hunter, there's no possibilities for you to defeat us." the cyborg said again.
"I've heard this song for a long time, so you won't scare me with some robots." Yatsu referred to the cyborg.
"Then you will be terminated." the robot said, and added then, "Take him." he ordered to his robots and all seven robots rushed to the blind hunter. Kuro has already been well prepared to fight them, he clashed his weapon with a blade of the first cyborg, and kicked him quickly into the stomach area, the robot fell down and there appeared to other cyborgs, Kuro dodged their attack and jumped in the air trying to destroy the first machine, but the other machine stood between those two protecting the first robot. The first on got up and was on his way to fight Kuro again.
'It seems that I need some help here after all.' the blind hunter thought and said in his communicator. "Murasaki, I need a help here!" but he didn't hear the answer, so he tried to connect with his sister again, "Murasaki! Do you hear me!"
"It's useless, hunter." the cyborg that offered him to surrender told him, "Your signal was blocked, there's no chance for you to contact your allies."
"Well, then, I'll destroy you personally." the blind hunter smirked, and attack the cyborg that was closer to him.
He fought them feverishly he admitted for himself that these robots, were stronger than the ones he fought before. Their team work was perfect, if Kuro wasn't a veteran, he would lose them pretty fast. He hadn't got an opportunity to attack so he only protected him form these machines. Somehow he could destroy one robot, but the other still continued to attack him. He tried to contact with his sister again, but it was useless. Suddenly one of the robots decided to attack him from the air, Kuro prepared his blade, but the other cyborg used whips from his hands to bind Kuro's arm, when the robot was near with the blind hunter something has pierced the robot and the machine fall down onto the ground.
"What the?!" Kuro shouted understanding that the robot was destroyed now.
"Do you need a help, hunter?" the soft voice asked Kuro, and the person quickly hit the robot that tied Kuro's hands. Now he was free and then kicking the other robot asked the new comer "Who the hell are you?"
"Don't worry, right now we are allies." the person responded, Kuro easily understood that this person was a man and at the same time he was much younger then the blind hunter. The man quickly ran to the cyborg he destroyed and grabbed the thrown object. The object was similar with the spear but it had two other smaller blades on the both sides of it. He took feeze and pierced his weapon into the roof he took purchased on it and hit the robot with a great force. The robot flew off for a good distance. Now the situation was equalized, six robots against two hunters. They were fighting like lightings, the protected their backs in well. When Kuro was in danger the person helped him and Kuro did the same. Suddenly one cyborg could successfully disarm the newcomer and push him to the ground, while Kuro was fighting two other machines.
"Shit!" the man rapped out an oath.
"Wait a minute." Kuro referred him, and was about to help him, but the cyborg he was fighting attacked him again.
"No need to worry!" the man referred him, tried to grab arms of the robot that was above him, somehow he did it, and ice covered the arms of the cyborg, the man crushed frozen arms of the robot in pieces. He jumped and landed onto his legs he grabbed his weapon and pierced it at cyborg's head.
Kuro could destroy two another two robots, and now there were two robots one was looking like the others and the other one had absolutely different design.
"Now the battle will be fair." the man in white uniform said to Kuro, "Only two robots left."
"I see." Kuro referred, "I hope when the battle is over you'll tell me who are you." Kuro said him.
"As you wish." the man referred with a smile, and they headed to their last opponents.
The battle wasn't long; it took about several minutes to deal with two last robots. When they dealt with them both of man started to catch their breaths, and when Kuro restored his powers he came closer to the man who helped him a while ago.
"Well, can we have a small talk now?" Kuro asked the man.
"I think, yes." he responded, he took his weapon in two pieces and took it out on his back.
"First, how can I name you?" the blind hunter asked his first question.
"Well, I'll name myself if only you will name yourself, hunter." the man answered on Kuro's question.
"You can call me Kuro." he said, still holding his blade in his hand.
"You can call me Avalanche." the man in white uniform and white hair responded.
"Avalanche, is it your nickname?" Kuro asked him again.
"Yeah, I'm sorry, but I can't tell you my name." Avalanche apologized, "And you're Yatsu Kuro if I understand it right." he continued.
"How do you know me?" Kuro didn't like that the man knew his name and squeezed his blade tighter, Avalanche noticed it and tried to calm down the man in front of him.
"There's no need to worry, I won't attack you."
"Why should I believe you?" the blind man asked Avalanche, "May be you just trying wriggle into my favor." He continued his suggestions.
"Well, I'm the person who doesn't like such things at all. And if I wanted to fight you, I would let you destroy all robots, and then attacked you." Avalanche tried to explain that he is not intended to attack him, and if I worked with these robots, I'd attacked you with them."
"If you're not going to attack me then why did you help me?" Kuro asked him and then heard a voice in his communicator.
"Kuro! Where the hell are you?!" he heard Murasaki's shouting voice, "What happened, why did we couldn't contact with you?!"
"I was attacked by a bunch of cyborgs; it seems that they blocked my signal." Kuro responded calmly.
"We need a help in central park. Go to our location immideately!" she ordered to him.
"On my way." he responded to Avalanche, "Well I think we will leave our discussion for the next time, I must go to help my comrades."
"If you want I can join and help." Avalanche offered to Kuro his help.
"Are you serious?" Kuro was surprise to hear such offer and especially so easily.
"Yes, why not." Avalanche said with a smile, "Maybe then you'll trust me a little."
"Fine let's go then." he said to the man and they headed to help to Kuro's friends.
"Dammit! Even with you sensei, we can take them down!" Maki said painting trying to catch her breath, "How these two can be so strong?"
"I don't know but we must, defeat them somehow." Murasaki responded to her student.
"Sensei, do you have a plan how we should fight them?" Rinko asked her.
"I don't know, but we must think something quickly."
"Why did you brought them here Hush?!" Kangaroo asked his comrade, who landed onto the ground near with him, "I was fighting on equals with those two, and now I must look aside for these two." Hush answered nothing; he took something out of his bag and trough it in hunters.
"Look out!" Aki shouted to his team and everyone jumped to different sides. The thing that was thrown exploded when it touched the ground.
"Grenade?!" Aki exclaimed, from what he saw, when he landed onto the ground; his legs were quickly grabbed by stone hands that came out of the ground under him, "Damn it!"
"I'm coming!" Maki was on her way to help her friend, Hush quickly stood between her and Aki and used his whip he tied the young hunter and threw her at Rinko who wanted to slice Hush. But he quickly directed tied Maki at purple haired girl and made them fall rolling for several centimeters, then he jumped off to his comrade.
"They're pretty strong, I don't think I'll handle it Hush." the boy said heavily breathing to his comrade.
Hush looked at the boy and nodded him, the metal person ran ahead with his blade in readiness. He chose two girls that were getting up, his speed was amazing he almost was near with them and was about to pierce one of them, then suddenly someone appeared between them. Yatsu Kuro crossed his blade with the Hush's blade.
"Yatsu-san, you're just in time!" Maki exclaimed happily, understanding that now they will be able to defeat their opponents, but then they heard a soft voice from somewhere behind them.
"So they gave you a plastering, huh?" the person in white uniform came closer to the group.
"Avalanche! What the hell is happening? Where the hell did you come from and who the hell is that bald man?!" Kangaroo started to ply the white haired man with lots of question.
"Hush, Kangaroo please stop fighting." Avalanche said calmly.
"What?!" Every one exclaimed, except Kuro, Murasaki and Hush.
"They're from Taimanins that exploring recent kidnappings." Avalanche explained.
"Wait, you want to say that…" the boy wanted to say something, but he was interrupted, by his comrade.
"Yes, right now they're not our enemies." he turned to the hunters and bowed, "Please, forgive us for the misunderstanding."
"What is happening here?" Maki was beyond surprising, as she really didn't know what to think about the situation she looked at Murasaki, but the teacher, still was looking at the newcomer. Kangaroo and Hush took off their weapons, and after they did it the hunters did the same.
"Well, will you tell us something?" Kuro asked Avalanche, "As I remember you promised to answer for several questions.
"Yes, I remember." Avalanche said with a kind smile, and said, "At first, allow you to introduce my comrades to you, this is Kangaroo." Avalanche pointed at the kid with his hand, and then introduced the second person, "And this is Hush." Hush come closer to his comrade and started to stare at him, likewise saying something important and significant, "I know, I'll tell them just that what we can tell nothing more." Hush still was looking at him not looking away, "They're not our enemies right now, and maybe they could help us too." Avalanche whispered to Hush, Hush nodded, but it was easy to see that he nodded, indecisively and went for the person in white uniform, "Miss." he turned to Murasaki, "Have you ever seen this emblem?" Avalanche pointed at Hush's chest and at Kangaroo's right shoulder.
Murasaki looked closely, to the emblem, but she didn't know what to say, as she saw them first time. Then Kuro asked his sister, "How this emblem looks like?"
"Red letter "D" on in black rhombus." she merely referred.
"So, you're from "Red Division", aren't you?" Kuro asked Avalanche.
"Yes, we are." Avalanche nodded in agreement.
"Wait a minute?!" Murasaki said to her brother, "Do you mean those bounty hunters, that work all over the world?"
"Well, yes we're." Avalanche nodded, and Murasaki prepared her axe to attack the man, but she was quickly stopped by her elder brother.
"Murasaki stop. This man helped me to fight cyborgs that attacked me, but he could help his friends to fight you all."
"Do you really believe them?" Murasaki couldn't believe that her brother trusts to these bounty hunters.
"Sometimes it's important to cooperate with someone else if you don't know what to do, and right now we're in such kind of situation." then he turned to Avalanche, "Well, why are you in Japan?"
"The only thing I can tell you is, that we're here because of "The Third Law", I think you've already met them."
"What do you mean?" Kuro asked, but then quickly understood, "So it was you, who helped me that night, on the roof."
"Yeah." Avalanche nodded, "You must thank Hush that he agreed to help you." the white hair man pointed at the person in armor that was looking like a cyborg.
"Why are you here?" Kuro continued his questioning.
"We are here, because of that organization." Kangaroo said, trippingly.
"Yes, our employer ordered to find something that was stolen." Avalanche said, still keeping in secret what they were looking for.
"And you will not tell us what you're looking for." Maki entered the conversation.
"I'm sorry, but I have no right to tell about it." Avalanche said with apologizing tone, "Firstly, we thought that the thing that was stolen, was stolen by other criminal organization, but when we found out that "The Third Law "is here, we understood that these bastards are the ones we're looking for." Avalanche told.
"Interesting to here, that one criminal organization robbed another one." Murasaki, growled, taking away her axe.
"We're mercenaries, not criminals." Avalanche said, "We take missions and just do them nothing more." Murasaki wanted to say something, but couldn't as she was interrupted, "Just like you, but you receive your orders from the government of Japan, and we have our own employer.
"Well, what do you know about the kidnappings?" Kuro decided to avoid political conversation, "I've heard that you attack some kind of slave camp, what was there?"
"Honestly, we found nothing there." the white haired man shook with his head and spread his hands, "the staff of it told us nothing important. They just received people for working them over and some sort of training, and then the kidnapped were transported to another place."
"I see." Kuro said.
"That's all what we could find."
"At least we knew that we are trying to oppose a serious criminal organization, but one problem is still opened, is it the organization we had met?" Kuro thought aloud.
"Hush, Kangaroo." Avalanche turned to his companions, "Return to our point, I'll be there soon." his comrades nodded and then left, young hunters wanted to follow them, but Kuro stopped them.
"Can I have a word with you personally?" Kuro turned to Avalanche, the man agreed, and they went aside, they were talking about five or seven minutes and then the man in white uniform left them too, but before this he whispered something to the blind hunter into his ear.
Murasaki saw that her brother had a strange expression on his face and decided to ask him, what did he tell you? You're looking like that he told you something really good."
"Nothing special." Kuro answered to his sister, and then added, "Well I think it's everything for today, I don't think that we will find something else today. Go and rest."
"Finally!" Maki exclaimed stretching her arms, "The best thing I would do right now, is to take a warm shower."
"I can't disagree with you." Rinko agreed with the energetic girl.
"Hey, Aki, what would you do right now by the way?" Maki ran to her friend.
"I think I'd take a shower too."
The students started to talk with each other and share their expressions form the battle and the opponents they faced. The pupils even asked Murasaki, in order to try to know her impressions from the fight with these members of that strange "Red Division". Only Kuro was the one who was keeping calm and was behind his friends with a slight smile.
'So he is here, huh.' Kuro thought, 'It will be really interesting to see him again.'
