Sekirei Novella V Part I

This short story takes place in the middle of Shinto Teito. Roxas is outside onto the street, right across the tallest building in the city, MBI Headquarters clock tower. The area around the tower was completely in devastation, due to the fact that Roxas was settling a score with his new rival, Miya Asama.

"Augh!"

Roxas was flying backwards and his back met with a side of a car, leaving a large dent on it. Instantly, Roxas' blood came out of his mouth after the impact. His mouth was dripping with blood, and on the inside it stained his teeth. He tried sitting up but no avail, he was met with a kick. The kick was powerful enough to split open the parked car in two, making him crash through a glass window. Shards of glass flew backwards just when Roxas' back met with it.

Roxas manages to catch himself before hitting the ground. Again, he spits the remaining blood out of his mouth.

'Shit, I'm getting my ass handled pretty good, especially by a woman on top of that.' Roxas thought to himself.

A split second later, he catches Miya charging towards him once more. She slashes her sword downwards, but Roxas was able to dodge to the left, avoiding her deadly swing. Miya was surprised. No one was able to escape her attacks, ever. Her moves were unable to be seen by the human eye, but not for Roxas. He was able to decipher her techniques lately. Miya sucked her teeth, and out of frustration, she carelessly started swinging her blade at her new enemy. Horizontal swings, vertical swings, diagonal swings, Roxas was able to dodge them all. She swung her sword once more, but this time, it connected to Roxas' body. Though Miya may have finally struck Roxas, it was caught in his bare palm. Miya panicked and took a quick leap away from Roxas, outside of the building onto the crumbled streets.

'B-but how..? How was he able to decipher my moves?' Miya asks herself.

Roxas steps out of the building, still holding onto the blade of Miya's sword. His palm was dripping blood, but he ignored the pain. Instead, he continued gripping the blade even more, making blood to rush down his hand and eventually shattering Miya's sword to pieces. She stared at him with her eyes wide in shock and confusion.

"This boy muster such amount of strength. Have I ever taught him to ever be this strong?" Miya whispers.

Miya snapped out of her thoughts when she sees Roxas walking, slowly forward at her direction.

"Heh, looks like I have the advantage Miya. You're now completely defenseless without a blade in your hand, and I know you're average in CQC." Roxas boasted her.

"Tsk, are you going to attack me when I can't find a way to defend myself? Such cowardice" Miya closes her eyes and crosses her arms. "I trained you better than that, Roxas. You're just like Karasuba, fighting dirty and not playing by the rules, so pathetic." She insulted.

"That so, huh?"

"Yes, that is so, incompetent child.." She again, insulted.

"Maybe because not playing by the rules..." Before Roxas could finish, he leaps high in the air, stretching his arms out towards Miya. Dark aura forms from his palms, creating black and purple flames. "IS MORE EXCITING THAT WAY!" The flames from his hands darted at Miya, who which easily dodges.

"Heh.." Roxas makes a hand symbol as if a ninja would do. His index and middle fingers points outwards while the last three were inward on his palms. He points to the left, the same direction Miya dodged his last attack.

The fire turns left and continues to pursue Miya. The fire met with Miya's kimono, scorching some clothing off, and scorching her left forearm. She manages to get away, but is badly burnt.

"Nrgh!" Miya grunts in pain. She acrobatically backflips a couple yards away from Roxas, holding onto her burnt arm.

"Heheh.." Roxas chuckled as he hovers back down on the damaged asphalt. "Finally got you. It is my first time ever inflicting damage on your body ever since you've been training me these last months." Roxas said, smiling.

"Enough talking..I don't wish to speak with a filthy animal like you, Roxas. You've changed, all of you children are just the same.." Miya said to him. Roxas raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean, 'children'? Was I not the only one trained?" He questioned.

Miya didn't answer Roxas' inquiry and remains silent. He was curious now. Was there others that Miya had sparred with? If so, what ever happened to them? Did they went astray? Are they...dead? So many questions was swirling inside of his mind, it was hard to think. At this moment, Roxas lost his guard, which gave Miya the advantage. She quickly uses her Flash Step technique to get closer to her opponent. With just one step, she is already face to face with Roxas.

"You've let your guard down, boy." Miya said, snapping Roxas back to reality by giving him a hard palm fist under his lower jaw, sending into the air.

"Eugh!"

Miya jumps in the air, positioning herself above Roxas.

"I'm going to put an end to this ridiculous battle." Miya closes her eyes and bites her lower lip. "I dreamt that it would come to this, but prayed that it'll never happen... I'm sorry...Roxas.." She softly said.

A tear drop falls from her cheek. She cocked her elbow back, making her hands completely straight, as if it was a sword.

"Final Blow: Steel Divine.."

Miya shoots her arm towards Roxas' stomach, finishing the battle.

The whole world went black. The sound of liquid sputters everywhere in the vicinity. From the buildings, and to the streets. She sounds of agonizing screams bellows throughout Shinto Teito.

The End.

A/N: Sounds a little eerie, doesn't it? (; I think this was my best story yet. It went really dark from 0 to 1000 real quick in my opinion. I'll keep making up Short Stories as I go, but in the meantime, I'll postpone the Novellas for now and focus on "Rebirth eX" for a while (And really have to make the First chapter for "Giant City, Small World" as well). And remember, "May your Waifus always bestow upon your heart."
