Chapter 212 - X2-214: Assault On Tokyo, Part Seven.

10:25 AM, On The Coast, Kōtō Ward, Neo-Tokyo, Japan.

Akiira and Sakino return to Tokyo, still battling it out with their blades. The clashes of their blades sending continuous shockwaves, breaking glass and setting off car alarms. Akiira and Sakino jumped back, breathing heavily as they looked at each other. 

"I'll give you credit… You're strong, Touma…" Sakino said. Akiira chuckled,

"I don't need your compliments…" Akiira said. Sakino smirked,

"Well then… You won't be hearing anymore…" Sakino said. The two started to clash their blades once again, the clashing of the metal could be heard from miles. Daisuke sat on top of a building watching the fight. 

"Man… I didn't know Haruto's little sister was this talented…" Daisuke said. He stood up walking toward the edge of the building. Daisuke snapped his fingers. Sakino's eyes widen and he jumped back. Sakino began chuckling as he dropped his daggers. The golden glowing ice sword reappeared in his hand. Akiira looked confused, smirking. 

"Why're you using that again, it wasn't work-" Akiira said. Akiira's eyes widened as she looked down at her stomach. The sword impaled the left side of her abdomen. She looked back seeing Sakino standing there. Akiira walked forward, removing herself from the blade. She coughed blood, dropping her sword. 

"I can still keep going…" Akiira said. Akiira put her guard up. Sakino raised a brow,

"You have a hole in your abdomen and you still wanna fight…?" Sakino asked. Akiira nodded,

"Yeah… And… I'll beat your ass…" Akiira said. Sakino chuckled, the chuckle then turned into a laugh. Sakino then grinned menacingly.

"Why would I continue to fight you…" Sakino said. Akiira grit her teeth, running toward Sakino. She attempted to throw a punch but Sakino stabbed her in the left eye.

"You're weak…" Sakino said. Akiira grit her teeth, slightly growling.

Akiira grabbed the blade of the sword, making it explode with lightning. She the punched Sakino square in the jaw. Sakino flew backward into a building. Akiira stood there, breathing heavily. Sakino stood up, walking out of the building. His arms were covered in a light grey Shiki. Akiira's arms were covered in a dark blood red shiki. 

"The nerve to break my sword and then punch me into a building… Let em treat you a lesson… Girl…" Sakino said. The two ran toward eachother, engaging in hand to hand combat. Sakino grabbed Akiira's hair with both hands, slamming her into the ground. Akiira stood there for a second, playing dead. 

"I'm tired… I wanna go home… I wanna sleep…" Akiira internalized. She opened her eyes. 

"No… I have to keep going…" Akira thought to herself. Sakino turned around, walking away. Akiira stood up quickly, axe kicking Sakino to the ground. 

"DIRTY FUCKER!!" Akiira shouted, kneeling down and punching Sakino on the back of the head. Sakino turned around, blocking her punches. 

"HOW THE HELL ARE YOU STILL ALIVE!?" Sakino shouted. Akiira grinned,

"BECAUSE I FIGHT CAUSE I ENJOY IT… YOU FIGHT FOR THE JOB!!" Akiira shouted, standing up and kicking Sakino in the stomach. She then stomped on his stomach, making him cough blood. Sakino stood up, forming an ice dagger.

"Oh… S-So you wanna play that game…" Akiira said. Akiira grinned,

"Fine… Lets go…" Akiira said. Akiira and Sakino ran toward each other. Sakino tried stabbing Akiira but she deflected, grabbing the dagger and stabbing Sakino in the stomach. Sakino stumbled backward, looking at the dagger in his stomach. He looked up at Akiira, running toward her. Akiira kicked the handle of the dagger in Sakino's stomach, pushing it deeper. She then ran at Sakino, grabbing the dagger and pulling it out. 

"I don't like cheap fighters…" Akiira said, throwing the dagger aside. She then kicked Sakino in the jaw, making him fly through another building. Akiira ran toward him, grabbing his face and slamming him into the wall. Akiira pulled him back, pinching him square in the nose, more than likely breaking it. Blood began to pour from his nose as he fell to the ground. Akiira looked down at Sakino, breathing heavily.

"Especially you…" Akiira said. Akiira kneeled down, looking him in the eyes. She continued to punch him in the face, before she heard a loud crack after the final punch. She smirked, standing up. She looked down at him, 

"Fun fight… But like I said earlier…" Akiira said. She began to walk toward the hole to exit the building. She looked back at Sakino. 

"You're weak…" She walked out of the building, looking around.

"I need to head to a hospital… Get Nakamura and her mom to help me out with this…" Akiira said to herself. She began limping as she walked down the sidewalk. She put one arm on the building, limping down the street. She smiled looking up at the sky. 

"Is this… It for me…?" Akiira said. She looked down at the ground, 

"Am I… Going to die…?" Akiira internalized.
