RyuXi: That does sound like an interesting idea but I wasn't planning on it. I kinda just wanted him to have more or less Demon Slayer Powers.

Blazing heart frigid soul: You do you man. No judging and I won't spoil any pairings. Your going to need to wait to find out.

JadeShade1392: Thanks I'll think I'll sprinkle a few more around the place but try and not go too overboard with them.

Chapter 8 Round two, or three?

"Wait what are you doing." asked a frantic Izuku trying to get a grip on the situation.
"What does it look like?" said Yae jumping down from the rock. "I came here for a rematch." raising her rifle at Izuku. "So come on then let's do this."

While Yae was threatening Izuku. Eri Melissa and David were getting a little worried about the whole situation. Seeing this Yushiro decided he should step in. "Tomo bring the wall down for a second." Tomo complied and followed her master out towards the two. "Yae, it's good to see you again."

"Hey old man how's it going."

"Not too bad but I'd wish your surprise visit didn't scare our guest over there." pointing to the others. "Was the sneak attack really necessary?"

"Hey he started it." she said pointing at Izuku.

"What?" before he remembered how their first fight started. "That was an accident. I didn't mean to crash into you."

"Bull you jumped right in and went for the kill."

"No I didn't."

"Yes you did."

As they began arguing back and forth. Melissa tapped Tomo on the shoulder. "What are they talking about and who exactly is she?"

Yushiro answered. "She's the daughter of my former bodyguard. They come by every now and then. Though six months ago the two agreed to have a friendly spar after Izuku got done with a delivery I asked of him."

"Okay so what happened?"

Tomo chuckled a little. "As per usual Izuku got into a fight with a villian and was running late. So when he rushed back he kinda forgot to look where he was going and crashed right into Yae."

"She didn't take it well and began firing at him the second she stood up." said Yushiro. "Though in the end Izuku won and she lost. That's when she vowed she would return to defeat him someday and it looks like today is that day." Yushiro watched the two squabble a bit before stopping the farce. "Okay that enough stop both of you."

Izuku and Yae immediately stopped arguing. While Yushiro was thinking how he wanted this to go. "Sir, do you want me to delay dinner?"

"Wait" said Yae "I want my rematch."

"Yae the rematch can wait." Said Izuku getting a little annoyed. "I'll go help setup dinner."

Izuku was about to go inside and help Tomo only to be stopped by Yushiro. "A dinner and a show that sounds like a lovely idea."

"SENSEI"

"Yes." cheered Yae. "Oh before I forget." she pulled out a letter handing it to Yushiro. "My dad wanted me to give this to you. Better give it to you now before we get started."

"Hold it." said Yushiro putting the letter inside his kimono. "Tomo setup dinner on the southern side overlooking the mountain. You two can fight on the lower side where we can watch. Its flater with fewer trees to get in your way and you will begin fighting at the sound of the gong. Agreed."

"Agreed."

Izuku sighed a little. "Agreed."

~o~

It didn't take long for Tomo to set up dinner. Everyone was eagerly waiting for the fight to get started. Melissa and Eri were slightly worried. Tomo and Yushiro weren't worried at all though Yushiro did make sure if that things got too out of hand that Tomo would put an end to it.

David though was curious. "So Mister Yushiro how good is Yae in a fight?"

"Well last time I saw her she was already at a pro hero level. Though last time her and Izuku fought it was clearly one sided with Izuku beating her without really trying."

"So do you think he's going to win?"

"Without a doubt." said Tomo putting the food down. "Izuku has been fighting real villains. I hate to say it but Yae doesn't really stand a chance. This should be over quickly."

"I'm not so sure." said Yushiro looking at the two ready to fight. 'Yae is different now. What happened to her.' he thought as both fighters got ready down below. "Looks like both of them are ready to fight might as well get this started." as he walked to the edge of the hill. "Are you two ready?"

"Yes, sensei." said Izuku hand on his sword.

"You know it, old man." said Yae loading her rifle.

"Alright then on the sound of the gong you may begin. The fight will end if either one of you is knocked out or is unable to continue or surrender." as he walked back towards the gong.

"Hey Yae. No hard feelings when this is over." said Izuku ready to get this over quickly.

"Just you wait. I'll show you what I can do." trying to keep her emotions in check.

Yushiro was about to hit the gong when Eri asked if she could do it. Yushiro gave the mallet to the little girl who carefully gave the gong a good hit.

"GOoooong"

The second she heard the gong Yae fired six rapid shots at Izuku. Izuku carefully looked at them before deflecting them. 'Strange none of them looked like explosion rounds. That's what she opened with last time.' he thought as he dashed forward at Yae who launched another barrage at Izuku. Izuku quickly deflected and dodged them. He was about to use the breath of lightning to close the gap before a bullet grazed him from the side. He quickly turned to see more bullets coming at him. 'They're curving!' as he dodged again.

"She's curving the bullets." said Melissa as they saw Yae fire at different angles and for the bullets in mid air change directions and attack Izuku at different angles.

"Wow she has improved last time she wasn't able to curve the bullets that well." said Yushiro

"It's going to take more than that to beat Izuku." said Tomo

Izuku was having enough of this and made a dash at Yae once he saw an opening and as expected she aimed her rifle right at him and fired several shots. Izuku got ready to deflect the bullets though as his sword made contact with the bullets they turned into liquid metal before hardening around his blade. "WHAT" he yelled forcing to lower his blade as it began to way a lot more. 'She melted the bullets weighing down my blade. When could she do that?' He quickly put his thoughts away and tried to move only to look down and see his foot stuck to the ground with metal. "When did she?"

"Gotcha now." said Yae as she fired more rounds at him. This time the bullets had a distinctive red glow.

"Explosive round." gritted Izuku "Breath of flame" Izuku quickly used the flame to melt the metal on his blade and foot. Before using it to counter Yae's exploding bullets. Cause the area around him to be covered in smoke.

Yae knew he would come out running and had her rifle pointing at the smoke ready for him to come out. She waited for him to make a move. SHe waited and waited until the smoke finally cleared. 'What! Where is he?' She quickly scanned the area. 'He didn't dash out of the smoke from any direction and he doesn't have any ability to go underground so "Above." As Izuku came down fast as she brought her rifle up to intercept but Izuku was faster and with the tip of his sword deflected the barrel of her gun. Izuku was about to end the fight when suddenly she stepped forward and blocked Izuku's blade with her own.

"What the?" said Izuku as he looked at Yae's gun which she was using to clash and lock with Izuku's sword. It now had a blade on the bottom of the barrel that turned it into a gun blade.

"Didn't see that coming did ya?" said Yae with a cocky grin. "Well your not gonna see this either."

BANG

As Izuku felt the kick directly to his head. Izuku barely had time to see Yae's smoking foot hitting him in the face. 'Shit, I really did underestimate her.' thought Izuku as he disengaged and ran for cover.

The others above stared in shock as they saw Izuku run for cover. "Whao, how did she do that?" asked Melissa "Was that some sort of equipment? Like a gun on the bottom of her foot?"

"Like a witch?" asked Eri

"Not all witches have guns on their feet, Eri" said David "But if i had to guess it's her quirk isn't it?"

"Yes." said Yushiro not taking his eyes off the battlefield. "Her quirk Strange Metal."

Yae Ryoshi Quirk : Strange Metal. Yae can produce a strange metal substance from her body that she can control. She can make it bouncy like rubber, hard as steel or ignited it causing it to explode. She can even change its shape. The only problem is she can make a lot of it at one time or else she begins to hurt herself. So she can only make small objects like bullets or a large knife.

"Wait I thought she could only produce and control only a bit of her metal at a time?" asked Tomo "How was she able to make a large blade?"

"It most likely isn't a full blade." said Yushiro "Most likely she simply used the same amount she would a knife and restructured it so it could hold an attack or two from Izuku. It would probably break with too many hits."

Yushiro's guess was spot on as Yae examined her gun Blade. 'Damn, already chipping after a single attack. Looks like I can't fight him close range with this.' She thought as she melted the metal back to the bottom of her gun. "Well looks like it's time to turn things up a notch." She said as she reached behind her to the back of her jacket. "Hey Izuku you ready it's time to end the warm up." Izuku peered behind the tree to see Yae holding up several gun barrels in one hand. "Cause I'm all fired up."

Izuku was getting nervous now. "End the warm up?' what is she talking about and since when was she this strong? She wasn't this good a few months ago.' Similar thoughts were being had amongst the viewers. Though all went silent as a huge blast cut through the forest.

"BOOOOOM"

"What the." was all Izuku could yell as he felt a massive shock wave hit him. As if a cannonball whizzed by his head. As he got up he could see a smoldering trail of burnt trees. As he followed the trail he saw Yae holding her rifle that now looked like the barrel had exploded itself. 'Where did that power come from.' Thought Izuku as Yae took off the now destroyed barrel and put a new one on.

"What the hell was that?" asked Tomo now very scared for Izuku. "Did she switch guns?"

"No Tomo that was her quirk." said Yushiro. "Those barrels must be coated on the inside with strange metal, boosting the bullets power though the barrels can't contain the power and break with a single shot. Hence the other barrels she has."

The others had a few questions or concerns but another huge blast broke them out of their thoughts. 'Damn he's dodging it better than I was expecting. Maybe this wasn't the best idea to open up with this so soon? NO. Get those thoughts out of your head Yae.' She thought to herself. Trying to keep her head in the game. "I'm not the same person I was six months ago." she said as she loaded the third barrel. "I'll show them all what I can do."

Izuku dodge the second blast. Though he could tell the shock waves were doing enough damage to his internal organs. 'Okay I need to make a move now or else those shocks alone will do me in.' he thought as he made his decision and charged. "Breath of lightning." as Izuku flashed head on.

Yae hesitated for a second but fired a third blast right at Izuku. Izuku saw this coming and jumped right over the shot. Yae cursed as she ejected the now useless barrel and reached for another. Izuku was about to get but she did something no one expected and threw her barrelless rifle at him. Izuku used his free hand to deflect the gun and used his sword to try to end this but when he did she used a barrel to deflect his blade and hit him in the shoulder with another.

'She's using her gun barrels as escrima sticks.' thought Izuku as he began a close combat bout with Yae as they traded blows nether was giving an inch. Izuku began using the breath of insects to get a few cuts in while Yae began to mix in some of her blast kicks at Izuku. 'Okay enough is enough' as Izuku used the breath of Earth to send her back a few meters.

As Yae recovered she looked at the dents in her gun barrels. 'He was able to dent these. That's some power' as flowers began to appear from her hands and wrists. Yae instantly dropped her two gun barrels. The second she did they were sent flying away in opposite directions. Izuku was right in front of her. She quickly unzipped her jacket revealing a white tank top and rows of throwing knives on the inside of her jacket. She quickly threw several of them as they exploded in front of Izuku creating a smoke screen.

"No I'm not backing away." said Izuku as he made a b line in the direction of her discarded rifle. Knowing that would be where she would be headed. Yae tried to counter attack and threw several knives at him and in his path. Though with Izuku's speed it was tedious at best. He was able to make it to the rifle. "Okay Yae this is over surren-" Izuku was cut off as a bullet hit his hand causing him to almost lose his sword.

"Always have a back plan, Izuku." said Yae holding up a revolver in each hand. Izuku began to move as she began to fire. He tried to dodge when suddenly all the bullets she just fired began to ricochet on the rocks and trees. Izuku quickly tried to turn and avoid them all but was unable to. "Come on Izuku you can do better than that. What did a black cat cross your path?"

Izuku was in pain now each metal that covered him felt like he was getting slapped by All Might. The metal made it hard for him to move and the shock waves from early made it hard to breath but most importantly he was getting angry.

As Yae sent another volley of bullets Izuku used the Breath of wind to send several wind blades at Yae. Yae had no choice but to dodge the condensed wind and keep firing until. 'Click' Both guns ran out of ammo. Izuku in a flash of lightning closed the gap but stopped when he saw what Yae did next.

Yae quickly created more bullets in her cleavage and used her breasts to bounce them in the air as she spun around she caught/ reloaded her guns. It took Izuku and several others to process what just happened.

"Did… did she just use her boobs to reload her gun?" asked Melissa still not believing it.

"I never thought I would see something like that." said David "Have you ever seen-"

He stopped as he noticed Yushiro pinching the bridge of his nose and Tomo completely livid. "Out of everyone she uses that blonde bimbo's technique."

"Tomo calm down she's not a Bimbo she's just an idiot that loves hot springs way too much."

"Who are you guys talking about." asked Eri

"We'll tell you later for now let's see what happens next."

They all looked down to see Yae making Izuku dance with her dual revolvers and with her unique reloading technique she wasn't running out of ammo anytime soon. Izuku had no choice but to use the breath of the serpent to get away.

"That's twice now she forced him to retreat." said Tomo with her anger replaced with concern.

"Yae skills with dual guns is remarkable." said Yushiro "I haven't seen such skill in years not since Two Hands sailed the seas." This only caused a few confused faces. "She was a pirate at the dawn of quirks who was an expert at duel wielding guns." Before they could say oh a huge pillar of fire cut through the air.

Izuku used the fire to melt the bits of metal still on him as he stared down Yae who was picking up her rifle. "Alright thats what I'm talking about." said Yae putting her last barrel on her gun. "The breath of the sun. Your strongest fighting style. I got something for that." as she held up a special round that was glowing blue. 'I'm at my limit physically and my quirk is pushing it. If I make anymore from my arms, feet, or chest I'm going to run the risk of tearing my skin. It's this or nothing.' thought Yae as she loaded the round.

'I'm running on fumes.' thought Izuku 'She's pushed me farther than anyone else. My body hurts and I can feel my lungs fill with blood. If I don't get her with this attack I'm gonna lose.'

"Master we need to stop this." said Tomo "Now"

"I think she's right." said David "This is going too far."

"I know and I think the mountain agrees." said Yushiro pointing behind Yae.

Crack

"Alright time to end this." as Yae raised her rifle.

Crunch

"I agree-Yae look out behind you" yelled Izuku

Break

"Really Izuku, that isn't going to-" said Yae as the top half of a tree hit the top of her head. Though to everyone's surprise half a tree wasn't enough to knock her down. "No this fight isn't over…" as she finally collapsed to the ground.

Izuku didn't know what to do but just stared at Yae's unconscious body. It just didn't seem real with how the fight was going. Izuku didn't move until Yushiro came up to him and lightly slapped his stomach causing him to vomit blood.

"IZUKU" said the others as they joined him.

"Don't worry he's just fine." said Yushiro as he went to check up on Yae.

"Izuku are you alright?" asked Melissa

Izuku could only shake his head. "But you won." said Eri hugging his leg.

"No he didn't." said Yushiro pulling on Yae jacket causing several bullets and knives to fall out. "She had several more tricks up her sleeves. They maybe weren't as powerful as what she was about to hit you with but she had way more in the gas tank than you and her lungs aren't filling up with blood." Izuku could only hang his head in shame. "Also during the close combat exchange she scored more hits in and she was able to hit you several times with her bullets." he said walking up to Izuku. "Though I guess we should have expected that after the superb performance she showed us but the one thing I expected you to do was not to freeze the second you saw her chest bounce."

Izuku's face instantly turned red from the memory. "Well how was I supposed to see that coming."

"It doesn't matter if you were expecting it or not. You shouldn't freeze just because you see a girl giggle a little." He said with a complete straight face.

Izuku was still a little embarrassed about that part but overall still hurt over his loss. "Is Yae going to be okay?"

"She'll be fine. For a normal person I would say they would be out for a day but for Yae Id say about three hours. After that you can continue where you left off or start round three, that's for you guys to decide, but for now. Tomo, take Yae to a spare room and prepare the bean tea for her and Izuku." Tomo nodded before bending down to Yae and in a flash both of them disappeared. "Come now Izuku, you still have dinner waiting for you."

He nodded as he made his way back to the house. "Will he be okay?" asked David staying behind with Yushiro.

"He'll be fine. This is his first loss since he received training from me. He's fought villain after villain and one each time. His confidence will be bruised along with what little ego he has. Though if I were honest I'd say this was a good thing because it's far better to get a loss from a friend than it is to receive one from an enemy."

"Hey." said Eri running up to the two men. "We'll leave you behind."

"We're coming, Eri"

"Hey I got a question. How did the Mountain know to stop the fight."

David laughed a little at the girl. "The mountain doesn't really think. It was just a coincidence." she then looked over to Yushiro to confirm this. Though his only response was a smug smirk. David got an irritated look. "If I ask the question your just going to give me a vague answer aren't you."

"Your learning."

~o~

They all went back inside and Tomo quickly brought Izuku some bean tea. Melissa then explained to her father that the Beans used in the tea were actually beans made from a quirk and have super healing properties. Though since the beans take a long time to grow, Yushiro discovered a way to make them last longer by turning it into tea which made a single bean last longer and heal several people. Though the surprising part was that it was made by a cat in a tower.

While that was happening Izuku quickly drank his tea and ate his dinner still a little down. Though he made sure to record every part of the fight down in his notebooks. It was actually a surprising sight as he was doing this in the living room for everyone to see. No matter how many times those who have seen it before have, it still was incredible on how well he could take notes.

Though Eri was happy Izuku wasn't taking the loss too hard, she still wanted to cheer him up. "Hey Tomo." she said pulling on Tomo's Kimono. "Can we have dessert?"

"Of course, Eri. What would you like?"

Eri quickly went to Izuku. "Izuku onii-chan, what do you want for dessert?"

"Oh umm, I'm not really sure, what do you want?"

Eri wanted him to say what he wanted. "Hhmm Milkshake. Do you want a milkshake?"

"A milkshake sounds great. Tomo?"

"I can definitely make you guys some milkshakes. Oh wait, our blender is still broken."

Melissa instantly tensed at the mention of the broken blender. Which didn't go unnoticed by her father. "What happened to the blender. Wait did you let Melissa into the kitchen?" he said as the words stabbed Melissa.

"Yep" said Yushiro "You could've warned us about that one." Melissa felt more stabbies.

"Sorry to be honest we have chiefs and robots cook for us back at I Island so we never really had to use our kitchen for cooking."

"Clearly. Though Eri, Izuku can take you and get you some milkshakes in the city."

"Really" said Eri hoping this would cheer up Izuku.

"Sensei?"

"Izuku I know your mind is elsewhere but a distraction maybe good for you to clear your head a little."

"Okay if you say so. Melissa you want to come with."

"Nah." she said recovering from the words. "I think I'm going to work on my project for a bit."

"Okay come on Eri." Said Izuku as he knelt down so Eri could hop on his back. When they made it to the entrance of the house they dashed down the mountain toward the city for a sweet treat.

~o~

"Hey boss the Demon Slayer kid just entered the city."

"Really where is he?"

"It looks like he just entered the mall."

"Alright stay on him while I gather the others. It's time to put that brat in his place."

Next time: Milkshakes and Mall Chaos

Well another chapter down hope you all enjoyed it. Please commit. This was my first chapter with a fight seen as its major focus and would love the feedback.

Also I wanted this chapter to show that Izuku is strong but not OP and that there are other strong characters out there that can but Izuku through the ringer.

Also what did you guys think of Yae. She is really starting to grow on me the more I write

PS

You all have a fantastic day.
