Love Returned From The Ashes

Cutting The Face

Ririka pov: "You think you win!?" I shouted

I had a shard of glass and slashed her face, scoring it really well. Blood dripped down her face.

"Hajime..." Kanade mumbled

"This is what she wanted..." I scoffed

Hajime clenched her fist and hit me with a strong uppercut. I smashed into the wall behind me.

"Oww..." I hissed.

Hajime rushed me and went to punch me with another barrage of punches. I rolled out of the way and kicked her square in the face, knocking her back. She did a backflip and landed on her feet, pushing towards me and going for a punch.

I pulled out and swung a knife, trying to slit her throat once again, but she bent back, dodling it, then on the back swing, she blocked using her arm again and knocked me back with a kick. I stumble backwards, and she sprints towards me, going for a spin kick. I rolled out of the way instead of blocking it since I knew she was stronger physically.

I went for a follow-up attack, but she rolled out of the way. As she got back to her feet, I stabbed into her right. "Shit." She snarled I jostled the knife around in the wound.

"I love you, Hajime!!!" Ririka landed

I kicked her away so she couldn't pull her knife out and ran forward, punching her in the face.

Hajime rolled on the ground and landed on her feet once again. She wiped the blood off her face.

"I'll defeat you..." Hajime said

"Heh, I doubt it. You didn't put me down before." I said

Hajime violently tore the bloody knife out of her thigh and threw it at my face. I went to dodge, but the knife scored my face.

"That doesn't look good." Ao commented

Hajime got into my stance once again and rushed at her, throwing a barrage of punches. I began to dodge every single one of them without even trying.

She got a good right hook in.

"Ha-Hajime, this isn't over." I wheezed

"Oh yeah?" She questioned

"It is for you!" I yelled

I grabbed the knife and went to stab Hajime; she wasn't expecting it, and I didn't stab her. I tackled her and slashed her into the glass.

"Ririkaaaaaaaaaaa!" She screeched

I smirked at her and spun the knife around. I need to end this with the next attack.

"We are all here..."

I looked up and nodded. "Let's begin."

"Can we have Hajime?" Mumei-senpai asked

"As long as we can come along," I replied.

"Sure," Kiara-senpai said.

"Was this all that simple?" Hajime sighed

"Yeah, it appears so..." Reine-senpai mumbled

"It was super easy; we are just hotheaded and didn't agree with our senpai!" I said

"We ate hot-headed?" Kanade, Ao, and Raden were questioned.

"Yeah, we are a group!" I said

"But you are the only one who is mentally unhinged." Hajime sighed

"And that is why you love me!" I said

"Love is a strong word." Hajime mumbled

"You love me, Hajime, right?" I asked

"Once again, love is a strong word." She said

Kanade ignored the bickering and switched the TV on. "Woah, the world is messed up!" She said

"Oh yeah, we are going to fix that eventually," Mumei-senpai said to us.

"Cool..." Raden pulled out a cigarette and lit it.

"If you want to smoke, do it outside." Hajime demanded

"Fine, but you better kiss me then!" She said

"I will think about it only if you get the smoke smell of yourself before hand!" Hajime yelled

"Got it!" Raden said

"There will be no kissing." I scoffed

"Kanade, come here!" Hajime shouted

"Eek why!?" She asked

As soon as she walked over, Hajime kissed her passionately. I stared on and was seething at the sight.

"How dare you!" I yelled

"I didn't want to!" Kanade said

"Yes, you did!" Hajime stated

"Okay, this is fucking stupid. What the hell is going to happen right now? You are agreeing, but what about the aftermath? What are we going to do when you come with us? We need to know that."

"Mumei-senpai, why are you so mad?" I asked

"We have shit to do," Mumei-senpai told me.

I smiled and knew what to do. I rushed as fast as I could and lunged at her with the next attack. I will attack and end this. I will slash her head off with this attack.

I went and slashed her in the face again, this time diagonally. I didn't cut her eye or anything, luckily, but I did deeply cut her, and she fell to the ground, blood pouring out of her face.

"What are you going to do!?" I asked

Hajime spat and launched up faster than I could see, slamming into me with her fist as hard as she could. My nose began to bleed as it almost shattered, but I felt the pain, and Judo threw her. I'm not about to lose right here.

I cluched the knife and prepared to slash her one last time, and I slashed her as hard as I could. She fell to the ground, and blood leaked from her.

I laughed and smirked at my bleeding friend, but I need to do something about this. I need to do something smart.

I thought about something, and then Hajime launched out and punched me in the face one last time, smashing me through a few walls and stuff. I rolled over in the rubble and tried to move.

"Shit..." I growled

"I win..." She sternly spoke again.

She was right. She did win. I lost; I was beaten by her, and I don't have the right to. say that she is weaker than me or that she is mine and will be mine forever. I can't just sit here and let her get a win over me.

"Stand down," Hajime said.

I don't know if I can.
