R & R longer note at the end

Homura looked at each of the four girls in front of her, her eyes lingering on the two new faces she was confident in her abilities to eliminate Haruka and Yomi but these two were wild cards despite the odds Homura's confidence never wavered but even she knew the gravity of the situation she was about to face.

Without delay Katsuragi ran at the tanned girl as she jumped into the air for another drop kick, reacting quickly she moved out of the way as she caught a glimpse of the blonde's grinning face, realising a little too late Homura looked to the side as Haruka's metal puppet's fist collided with her right side making her grunt in pain as she stumbled sideways. Without a moment to regain her footing Yomi quickly jumped into the air slamming her large sword into the ground as Homura rolled to the left as she brought all six katana up to block the waiting white haired girl's slash.

As the two locked up the tanned girl looked into Miyabi's yellow eyes burning with bloodlust, breaking the hold the two jumped away from each other as Homura landed she was forced to block on both sides as the blonde attempted a round house kick to her right while Haruka's metal puppet aimed another punch to her left.

Homura used her strength to push the two back as she hopped backwards finally able to catch her breath a little as she looked at the four girl's watching her, she tried her best to block out the pain in her right side as she glared if she didn't so something soon then they would kill her but against these odds what could she do?

Yumi looked on from her hiding place with mixed feelings, she had always wondered about the tanned girls past but to learn she was from a school of evil shinobi then to be labelled a renegade she wasn't sure what to do for the best anymore, regardless of her past Homura was now part of her team and she was in danger. Her thoughts turned to the rest of her group wondering what they must be thinking right now, kneeling down the grey haired leader placed her hands to her head. What was the right choice?

"What was it you said a moment ago?" Haruka asked as the tanned girl looked at her, she had always hated that teasing tone she used "Oh that's right, how the mighty have fallen".

"Says the one passed over for leader once more" Homura shot back as Haruka's eyes narrowed "Just like when it was me running the show, once again Haruka, your just second best". Homura grinned as she saw the anger building in the honey blonde girl, she hadn't observed the girl for nothing the time they had spent together and she still knew the right buttons to push to get this girl off her game.

"Secret ninja art: death kiss" Haruka called out as she blew a kiss in the direction of Homura who smirked, finally she had found her opening she charged forward as she slid under the cloud of pink heart shaped energy heading in her direction closing the distance as she brought her six katana down on the shocked girl.

The sound of metal on metal rang out in the clearing as Homura's katana's collided with Yomi and Miyabi's swords the pair throwing the black haired girl backwards as she flipped backwards in the air she saw Yomi raising her crossbow with a smile.

"Secret ninja art: niflheim" Yomi called out as she fired crossbow bolts as Homura swiped them away, her eyes widened as Yomi smirked raising her other arm aiming her hand cannon directly at her as she fired an explosive strike. Homura realised she had no were to go as she crossed her katana in front of her trying to shield herself as the explosion sent her back with a cry of pain she landed bouncing on the floor.

The honey blonde haired girl felt her knee's give way as she fell to the floor, Miyabi resting her hand on her shoulder as she looked to the fallen tanned girl with a new found anger, her lust for blood increasing by the moment she couldn't help but admit to herself she was surprised at how well this girl had held out but that was over now it was time to put an end to the renegade once and for all.

Homura rolled to her side as she spat blood on the ground in front of her, her body was racked with pain as she tried to force herself to her feet it was the fate of shinobi to fight to the death like this she knew that as a vision of the Gessen elite filled her mind. She tightened her grip on her swords as she shook her head, was that really the last thing she would see before she died? She pushed herself to her feet as her legs wobbled the image of Yumi occupied her mind as she pressed the hilts of her blades to her temples trying to rid her mind of the image, why was she seeing them?

"Katsuragi" she heard the white haired girl call out "It's time to put an end to the renegade, you know what to do". The blonde smiled as she looked to Homura, it would be a shame to finish off someone like her but that was the fate of renegades to die at their hands, for her it was nothing personal just business.

"You think…I'll go down to you wimps?" Homura asked her breathing heavy as pain shot through her "I…still have enough…left to beat you". The girls began to laugh as Katsuragi stood in front of Miyabi with a grin, this girl had all the confidence in the world but confidence was nothing compared to strength.

"Secret ninja art: cross panzer" Katsuragi called out as the soles of her greaves began to open up showing red orbs as energy began to whirlwind around her feet she shot forward at the tanned girl who could barely stand.

"Secret ninja art: charge" Homura called out, if she was going down then so be it but she was going out a fighter not some coward resigned to death. Charging forward the black haired girl slashed blocking the barrage of kicks from the grinning blonde who jumped into the air, Homura's eyes darted to her as she wondered what was coming next.

"Secret ninja art: delightful inferno" Miyabi called out as Homura's eyes shot forward, the white haired girl coated her katana in a black aura as she opened up with a flurry of slashes breaking through Homura's defensive charge, the tanned girl felt her katana fall from her hands as the white haired girl sheathed her sword a large explosion sending her flying backwards in pain, she looked up seeing the heel of the blonde coming down ready to finish her off, she closed her eyes ready to accept her death.

"What the?" Homura's eyes shot open hearing the sounds of surprise in the blonde's voice, the air had suddenly gotten colder, turning her head to the side she saw a large yellow ball of energy collide with the blonde sending her off course, confused and fatigued the tanned girl could do nothing but watch the strange scene unfold before her.

Her ears perked up as she heard the strange sound of screeching as a colony of bats flew into view catching the tanned girl and carrying her to safety, the last thing she remembered was the view of white and black wolves collecting her swords carrying them in the direction the bats were flying.

Well there we have it, Homura bit off more than she could chew with these four but lucky for her she had four guardian angels. For anyone who may wonder why Haruka fell to her knee's after Homura's attack is because she was surprised that Homura would actually try to kill her rather than stop herself at the last second

Last thing as well, whenever I played the games and during my research of looking up the secret arts for them while writing this I always felt that they could use their arts as attack and defence so that's why Homura used Charge to defend herself against cross panzer and I'll be doing the same with later chapters if the need arises
