[B]"God damn it!"[/b] Izumi cried out angrily as she dodged a couple of the oncoming flaming slashes from her oncoming enemy. She had already been forced to nearly kill one sekirei today and she was worn out and the worse part was that this was probably the doing of someone she knew. [B]"You're only going to make this harder on yourself you clod!"[/B] screamed the sekirei number 61 Azami as she sent another round of flame magic towards her. She seemed to hold a mixture of fire and wind magic. Wonderful! "Don't stop Azami we almost have her!" Azami's ashikabi sounded out to her as Izumi narrowly dodged the next set with a couple of rolls. This wouldn't be so god damn hard if it weren't for the fact that there was no one around her! Where was everyone? The city yesterday had been filled with people and she had been surprised she had not run into any of these fucks the other day! [B]"I'm sorry hunny but it will take a lot more than you two to do me in. I've fought more powerful people than you blind folded!"[/b] Izumi warned the sekirei as she once again tried to slash at her leaving chunks carved out of the concrete. "Then why are you running away you bitch!?" The sekirei growled at him as Izumi pulled out her sword as she ran and prepared to slash through a small tree up ahead. Izumi didn't answer the small sekirei chasing her instead she pretended to trip but slashed through the tree instead and kept on going into a roll. Luckily Izumi was quicker than the girl despite her drained stamina and hoped that the tree would take an attack and slow her down at the same time but it was wishful thinking Izumi thought as she ran.

As Brandon's friends finished their food they all forked over their money to pay for the bill. No one ever picked up the bill in whole. Each guy pitched in unless one of them offered to take the other two out for a night on the streets of Tokyo. Kaito didn't really like walking about so he decided to run home to get to studying but Jake on the other hand ran his hand through his coarse sticky blond hair as he told Brandon he wanted to take a walk real quick like. [B]"Bro I hope you don't plan on purposing to me you dick."[/b] Brandon said sarcastically as Jake laughed, [b]"You got to be a LOT more handsome for me to do that you bastard."[/b] Brandon laughed as Jake did and they both left and said goodbye to Kaito who told them to get a room. As they walked down the street they noticed it was getting dark out. Jake didn't talk much which puzzled Brandon's mind as he wondered what was up with his old pal as they walked together passing the occasional passerby. [B]"So what's on your mind man?[/b]" Brandon asked as Jake groaned and pushed his hat up as he looked into the sky. [B]"You know big guy I get these feelings that shit is about to go down? Well I got that feelin' in my insides again and I don't know what's up am I just nervous? Or is it something else that I'm not thinking of?"[/b] Jake asked plainly as Brandon raised as eyebrow. Jake wasn't the sort of guy to make things seem overly dramatic but he laid it on real thick right there. [B]"Yeah about that man you probably ate some bad miso soup or whatever the hell you ate in that place.[/b]" Brandon said passing it off as Jake looked up at the sky questioning and grunted before pulling his hat back down and nodded at Brandon. [B]"Yeah man I'll be seeing you later dude.[/B]" Jake said as he bid his friend good night and the two went the opposite way the other went heading back to their houses. But Brandon decided it'd proably be best to cut through the park. It was under construction and not many people would be around there during the night.
