Not having a chance to answer when she looked like she was going to speak again. He listened to her, staring off infront of him, taking low deep breaths. He knew she wasn’t like other girls, not quick to say thank you, and putting up a cold demeanor all the time. But with her asking what was bothering him. Along with his headache, and the fact he was just thinking of haruka and her situation...just added onto his irritation on why he was even bothering with girls like them. All Mina could see was perhaps his left eyebrow twitching as he had a very blank expression on his face before he seemed to snap out of it and said with a irritated sigh.[color=007236] “Now you want to talk?”[/color] He said while shaking his head. He continued to look forward and said in a low voice. [color=007236]”Yeah i’m fine. Thanks for asking.” [/color] He then looked at her [color=007236]”I mean, I figured you would ask that earlier...instead of a week later.”[/color] He let that hang in the air for a second before adding. “I honestly thought single handedly managing to get a bigger, stronger opponent away, while not being able to use my quirk, from you while you were hurt would get a thank you.”[/color] He looked away, shocked at himself really for just being so blunt with her. But as much as he wanted to stop his mouth just continued. [color=007236]”The last thing I hear from you though is some comment about me falling onto a girl, which was totally not my fault thank you. And then running back in and getting yourself beaten up even more. And even blinding kaida as she was trying to protect me from the same damn guy who hurt you. But I mean, at least you’re talking to me a week later. Better late than never…”[/color] Well shit… he thought to himself. There goes that friendship. He sighed as he looked away and at the grass infront of them.

Her arm bleading and Roy was already at her side helping. He looked back hearing Hade’s speak, saying how disappointed he was in him. He barely had time to raise his own blade to parry the first strike, taking a step back trying to prepare for the second. While he saw it, and managed to move his head so it was a glancing blow, it still jarred him back a few more steps. But he quickly shook his head and regained his footing, using his left hand to rubbed his jaw as Hades spoke once again, threatening to kill Michiko. His eyes narrowed and he shifted back into his stance simply saying, “Sensei would never allow it. You wouldn’t dare go against his orders.” He knew he would kill the others without a second thought, and himself as well. A rush of adrenaline pumped through him, one that really never came since he left almost a year ago. While the fights in the academy were honest to say, insane for a public school. None of them had the true promise of death like this one would bring. He lunged forward and delivered three fast attacks, from different directions each time. Each parried or blocked by Hades. After a counter attack from Hades that ended with a block from Takeshi, their faces close to each other. Takeshi could see the eyes through the slits of Hade’s mask and he said with a threatening tone. “You overestimate the situation… I never beat you before because I was always fighting you and your ‘pack”[/color] With that last comment he shoved the taller man back and redoubled his efforts into his attacks. To those who were able to catch a glimpse of their fight could barely follow the swordplay. The two seemed to be evenly matching each other strikes and counters like they knew each other's next move. Another thing someone would notice was that Takeshi wasn’t fighting to defeat his opponent like a hero would...but rather his moves have all seemed to be aimed for killing blows. Not fighting at all like he had before at school. Takeshi’s goal was to distract Hade’s enough so he couldn’t add even more control over his wolves. But he knew he couldn’t hold back at all with this man, and despite his resentment to become more like he once was, he pushed forward. Slowly but surely, Takeshi began to push Hade’s back.

While she had slashed it quite a few times, Hades had focused more energy into the two wolves going after her, So each time they would fall, they would instantly get back up again. She knew what Takeshi would tell her to do and that was to just Run away using her quirk, Despite the situation. However...that was with just them...not while they were with their friends! She wasn’t like the others though… she was a decent fighter...but she never focused on it like the others did. She got winded far sooner than the others would have, and despite her best efforts, she got pinned down by one of the wolves, it biting her shoulder. However, it just held her there instead of going for a killing bite.
