R&R longer note at the end

The tanned shinobi stood in the clearing yawning her green eyes locked on the bespectacled girl in front of her unsure why this girl had called her out, one of the current members of the Hebijo elite who had taken over from the other and her group. Imu's dark green eyes stayed locked on the other before her mentally preparing herself for her goal, she had given the idea a lot of thought before finally managing to get the confidence to go through with it.

"Well? What do you want?" Homura asked staring at the shinobi in front of her who remained silent as the tanned shinobi crossed her arms sighing "If you're just going to stay silent I'm leaving I don't like my time wasted". Before the former Hebijo elite could leave a shuriken landed at her feet causing her to jump backwards turning to face the other who's eyes remained locked onto the girl before her, Imu's eyes burned bright her black uniform began to disappear being replaced with a military style outfit a long red staff forming in her hand.

"For so long it's been you, always you even after disappearing from Hebijo" Imu said as Homura raised an eyebrow not sure where she was going with this as her casual clothing disappeared replaced with the black Hebijo school uniform "Together reaching the elite of Hebijo I thought it would be different but no, it's still about you. Always about you, well what about me? I've been there the whole time and you left".

"What are you going on about?" Homura asked listening to the girls rambling drawing her katana's as she held them at her sides, waiting as she watched the girl's muscles begin tightening as Imu charged forward keeping her mouth closed bringing her staff down as the other quickly blocked the strike.

The force of the strike pushed the other back, smirking the tanned shinobi summoned all her strength to force the other back, she had no idea what had suddenly caused the other to pluck up the courage to fight her however it didn't matter to the battle hungry Homura would be more than happy to oblige she could only hope that a victory would loosen the others tongue and give her the answers she wanted.

Imu panted as she stared the tanned girl down the battle between the two had begun to take its toll on their stamina both their shinobi armour torn as the light brown haired girl gripped her red pole tighter, she would end this in one final move sensing the end was near Homura let a smirk cross her lips as she concentrated tightening her grip on the katana's in her hands and fingers one more move to decide a winner and she sure wasn't going down easily.

"Secret ninja art: dead fox" Imu called out spinning her staff as she moved sporadically as flashes of lightning appeared catching the tanned girl off guard as she tried in vain to block the unseen attacker, feeling the relentless assault Homura closed her eyes trying to block out the pain as she focused her mind knowing it was time for a counter attack.

"Secret ninja art: charge" Homura grunted through gritted teeth as her blades burned she moved forwards beginning to keep pace with the other as the two collided the energies of their attacks blasting them both back as they slid across the ground their weapons clattering to the ground, their shinobi armour vanishing to be replaced with their normal clothing.

After a few minutes the two began to move the pain burning through their bodies as the two pushed themselves to a sitting position, staring at each other using her black uniform top Imu wiped her glasses before fixing them as she continued to stare at the tanned girl.

"Well? You ready to talk or not?" Homura asked as she forced her aching body to move shifting over to the other girl who shifted a little in place unable to move properly from the pain "Come on, you're the last person I expected to just challenge me for no reason so tell me what it is?" The Hebijo elite member sat silent as she tried to collect her thoughts, she had not expected to lose the match hoping to win easily and leave feeling satisfied but now she had no choice with a sigh she finally spoke.

"I've been there with them since day one, worked hard to get to where I am but still it's about you" Imu began as Homura listened feeling more and more confused with every word "So I figured if I beat you then their eyes would be on me and only me, so now you know. Go on make fun of me".

"Make fun of you?" Homura asked confused as she looked over "Why would I? I have no idea what you're even going on about". Imu looked over as she raised an eyebrow seeing the confused look on the others face as she looked away, the light brown haired girl felt anger beginning to build how could she not know what she was talking about was it not obvious?

"How can they see anything in you? You're so dense" Imu said as she turned to face the other "I obviously mean Miyabi, all she talks about is you, I'm the one at her side but no it's all about you. Why are you the one she wants and not me?" Homura blinked a few times before turning to face forward as a smirk crossed her lips as she began to laugh at the comment the other had said, the anger began to raise through her body more as she continued to glare.

"Why are you laughing?" Imu asked her voice shaking with anger as Homura managed to calm herself back down "It's no laughing matter, this is a serious issue and your making fu…" The rest of her sentence was cut off as the soft sensation of Homura's lips found their way to her own the anger the light brown haired girl had felt suddenly melted away replaced with surprise and enjoyment as the two embraced pulling away after a few moments.

"She admires me" Homura said with a smirk "You're still her number one. Idiot".

I refuse to give up on this and even Homura supports it but I refuse point blank to give up that Imu X Miyabi is and should be a thing, there are so many things within the games that hint at the idea of them two together so I will die on this hill. Anyway, Homura being challenged by Imu and being able to hold her own against Homura made the most sense since Imu has been with Miyabi so long and they trained together it would make sense to me that she'd be able to push the other to their limit

However my ramblings over the next chapter is still needing to be written but I'm hoping an idea for that one comes in soon and then I also still have the next Asuka one to clear but that's a little tough given I have no ideas for it at the moment but I'm sure it'll come to me
