As the two sekirei squared off all Brandon Hunter could do was wonder what the hell was happening. A lesser man would have cringed away from the girl and or ran away but he wasn't about to abandon her. He may or may not have gotten in over his head but he wasn't planning on letting that get to him. He did however cover his face from the luminescent glow of the girl beside of him. [b]"Who are you?"[/b] Brandon asked in awe as the girl merely grinned at him and looked like she was amused by the question, [B]"Izumi and I'm your sekirei now.[/b]" Izumi stated as the enemy girl unleashed a massive energy slash and charged at Izumi who knocked Brandon out of the way and simply dodged it with ease. Charging at the girl she could only block just barely as Izumi's speed clearly surpassed that of the enemy girl. Izumi pushed her back and slashed her across the arm forcing her back as Izumi kicked her shin and forced her fall back. "Son of a bitch!" She shouted as she unleashed her special attack. The sash turned into a super heated whip of sorts and went straight for Izumi. [B]"REALLY? Is that all you have!?"[/b] Izumi said with an almost menacing look on her face as quickly moved out of the way of the nearly bullet speed sash that had lashed out at her from the enemy's arm. [B]"You're DONE![/B]" Izumi said as she brought her blade up...and stabbed the girl through the chest. The girl didn't even shout out in pain all she did was croak up blood and fall limp on Izumi's shoulder. Izumi reached around and placed her hand on the girl's back and sighed. [b]"I warned you this would happen. It all went down hill now that I have someone I need to protect. It may be sudden but that boy is now my reason for living. By the swift death of my pact, My ashikabi's enemies will be broken. Farewell Sekirei of the flaming sash.[/b]" Izumi said with not exactly kindness nor was it pity it was sadness and remorse. Brandon watched on from behind and looked at the other man. The man was shaking....and Brandon knew immediately what had happened. Whatever Izumi had done...this was the end of the line for the girl. Izumi laid the girl down, she had stopped glowing like Izumi who's light was also starting to fade, and she stood there. Izumi looked up at a nearby building and frowned but when Brandon looked no one was there. The man rushed over to the woman and Izumi backed off wiping the blood on the nearby tree. The man wailed at the loss of the woman and shouted at her to get up. [B]"I suppose I should stay to confirm my victory here....but I think 'The King' already knows.[/b]" Izumi stated bluntly as she walked over to Brandon. [b]"That's cold...but it's not like she gave you a choice. I won't hold that against you. But yeah we should go that guy doesn't want us here I'm sure...you are coming with me right? I assume whatever you are or what a sekirei or ashikabi are something that intimately involves us now correct?[/b]" Brandon said looking at Izumi to the other girl and he felt disgust well up inside of his body. But he couldn't fault Izumi from the body language she had no more love for doing that than the man over there did. [B]"Yeah I suppose I haven't a choice now I suppose. But I see that I at least picked a good ashikabi. Someone who understands that things aren't always in our hands. So what's your name?[/b]" Izumi replied and then asked of him as she sheathed her blade and walked away with Brandon. Brandon told her his name and the two decided that it would be best to listen to what this whole thing is about. [b]"Brandon. Brandon Hunter is my name and let's go back to my place we'll be ok there...at least until the cops come."[/b] Brandon said plainly as Izumi walked beside him back towards Brandon's apartment.
