A Requiem For Hate:Chapter 2
Author's note and disclaimer: Here is part two for your reading enjoyment. As promised more Karasu in this one. Enjoy!! Please read and Rate.
Your Pov: The next day you are walking with your team down to the arena. Sanaku seems unnerved by your pressense, but lets it go.
You recognize the man from the previous night across the arena. He was part of team toguro.
"Alright folks, this is the final match of the final match of the fire tournament. The winners will be given the fire pendant of Suzaku!" The match begins.
Team Toguro is good you had to admit. Toguro Ototo had managed to down Akira with one hit. Luckily it had only knocked the poor fox unconscious with a few broken ribs. Your other team mates didn't seem so lucky. Ritsu had lasted a grand total of five minutes against Bui and Toguro Ani Killed off both Sanaku and Sarukai in with little effort.
It was down to you and the man. Your team had already lost but you wanted a good and bloody fight.
Before the referee proclaimed your team the losers you tapped her on the shoulder. "Hey, I know my team lost but the fans won't like such a quick ending here in the final match. Announce the last fight. I didn't march down here for nothing." She seems a little frightened of you but looks toward Team Toguro.
"Any objections to Akuma's request?" Toguro Ani Laughs.
"Ha ha ha!! If she wants to die, let her die! What do you think brother?" Toguro Ototo shrugs.
"Seems like a reasonable enough reason. Karasu seems intrested in fighting the girl anyway." The referee nods.
"Alright folks! More for entertainment purposes than anything both teams have agreed to have their final fighters fight for your pure enjoyment!" The crowd cheers loudly and the man jumps up onto the stage.
"I'm assuming your name must be Karasu." The man nods.
"Alright! Let the match begin!" You and Karasu begin to stare each other down. After a few moments Karasu dashes to the side, you speed toward him using your body to concentrate your energy without alerting your opponent.
The results were messy to say the least. Karasu hadn't been expecting it so he struck out with a small ball of explosive energy detonating your energy. This had caused a huge blast that sent him across the almost leveled stage. The referee had been sent crashing into the far wall.
Your shoulder was bleeding heavily, but other than that you weren't suffering much damage. Karasu looked a pissed, he had a few nasty cuts and burns which were already healing.
You smirk. "You weren't expecting that were you?" He growls under his breath and forms demonic dynamite. Either he was making a distraction or he was stupid. You were betting on the first one.
You wait until he throws it at you waiting until the last second to throw up a shield. The shield hadn't been as effective as you thought.
Since Karasu was high level and used pure energy in his attacks the blast had been stronger than if it had just been normal demonic dynamite.
As the smoke slowly clears Karasu seemed extremely peeved. You were still standing. Smeared down in you own blood, yes. Dead, no.
Now it was your turn to be angry. You strike at him from across the ring, your blood formed at your fingertips making a whip.
He jumps back avoiding the primary strike, it still tore a very nasty gash in his chest. This was thanks to the small hooks that covered the whip up to your hand.
Karasu looks at his chest then at you before removing his mask and tossing it across the stage. "Don't die too quickly on me akuma, I've hardly begun." He begins to inhale.
You watch in wonder as his hair turns blond and his aura builds. He begins powering up for another attack. You smirk. "I should say the same for you." You toss the final restraints on your power away then run at him.
"Suicidal aren't we?" You grin sadistically.
"That depends." The second the two of you touch there's another massive explosion. This time both of you are sent flying.
You both land on a side of the ruined stage, Karasu is the first to stand followed by you. You stare at each other, both of you are panting and wounded. You weren't healing as quickly as your opponent, this was bad. He begins walking toward you, once he's within range you slash at him with your claws he dodges and hits you in the stomach. There's a very small explosion.
At first your eyes glaze over a little then you grin and kick him square in the family jewels. He hisses in pain.
Your world reels then you fall over unconscious from blood loss.
Sometime later: You slowly begin to wake up. It feels as if your on a boat just something has a grip on the back of your outfit while something else is digging into your stomach.
You groan in pain. "Welcome back to the land of the living Akuma." You open your eyes and see bandages. Your on Akira's shoulder and he had a grip on the back of your outfit securing you in place.
"I'm assuming I lost." Akira shakes his head.
"No, Karasu fell over at the same time and didn't get back up either. Must have been one heck of a kick." You grumble. "What was that?"
"I said I wish that he died. It will probably take more than a kick to put him down." Some growls next to you so you look over.
Karasu was glaring at you murderously. "Why the hell are you here?" Something jumps onto Akira's other shoulder. It was Toguro Ani.
"Simple, your part of our team now. Got it?" After staring him in the eye for a minute you sigh.
"Better yet kill me." Toguro Ani tilts his head.
"Why?" You glare at him.
"Because I've only just really met and I already despise you." He laughs.
" Ha ha ha!! You'll get used to it!"
