Playing With Other Supernaturals

Yoruichi dodges by bending back. Her legs were freed and did a backflip kicking Kuroka away in the process and gained some distance from her. Standing up straight, Yoruichi praised Kuroka for her abilities, "You're pretty good. You know how to use your skills and not the type who neglects battle awareness just because they have pretty strong magic. And, is that Touki (Fighting Spirit)?"

Kuroka took another stance, "And you brushed it off like they were nothing. I thought I already caught you off guard but who would have thought that Poison Mist I concocted for humans wouldn't have any effect on you. Even those descendants of heroes would have some reactions. Are you really a human? And yes, it's Touki."

"Yep~. I'm born from human parents, so technically, I'm a human too. So that's Touki, huh. You let out your Ki and let it cover your body to increase your offense, defense, and speed drastically. Couldn't you just meld your Ki to your muscle tissues? That would be a lot more effective."

"Do you really not know anything? Indeed that theoretically possible, but doing so would need extremely fine control over your Ki and constantly circulates it on your muscle tissues. If you can do that then you would be called a historical genius in Senjutsu. But even if you can do that, just moving a bit will disrupt that circulation and you would only hurt yourself in the process."

"Is that so? Koneko directly uses her Ki on her muscles though."

"What!?" Kuroka turned her gaze towards Koneko, "How is that possible!?"

"You saw that form right? Weird pigments would appear all over her body instead of flaring Ki like you're doing now. She does this using both her Ki and natural Ki."

Kuroka stayed silent after that. She sets it aside for now as the important thing now is to take Koneko away from this place. Listening to her talk about melding Ki directly on muscle tissues reminded her of how dangerous the technique she taught Koneko. Kuroka calculated her chances of winning, 'She's still isn't using that weird magic that controls lightning. Underestimating me? I only have one shot.' Kuroka simultaneously and silently disrupted the Ki in the surrounding and cast illusion magic creating six mirage copies of herself. Yoruichi was intrigued by her skills and just let her do what she wants. Although she looked unphased and nonchalant to the point that it looks like arrogance in Kuroka's eyes, she never let her guard down. Like Kisuke, she won't ever look down on someone just because they seem weak. Yoruichi kept scanning her surroundings and picked up some clues on what she's trying to do and with that, she also started to prepare some countermeasures based on her observations.

Kuroka and her clones stomped on the ground at the same time and the earth around Yoruichi rose up and covered her entirely effectively burying her under a mound. Yoruichi was able to blast if off within just a second but she saw that she's already surrounded by six Kurokas' and is attacking from different angles essentially sealing off her movements. Yoruichi's demeanor didn't change and dealt with the attacks with her own expertise in hand to hand combat. With a single strike for each, the clones dispersed but the real Kuroka was nowhere to be found. Yoruichi looked up and saw five big wheels made out of black flames coming for her. Kuroka is smiling at Yoruichi from above as she watches those wheels of black flames hit her.

Kuroka landed on top of a protruding rock as she watches Yoruichi burn. Yoruichi, however, didn't try anything else to shake of the black flames aside for the first defense, "Heh... A spiritual type of attack. Pretty good, though you got the wrong opponent to use this on."

"Wh-- Tch!" Kuroka couldn't believe what she is seeing but she has no time to stare in awe. She activated the last spell she prepared, a spatial barrier. Kuroka set this up when her clone approached Yoruichi to disrupt her attention. A sphere of transparent multicolor barrier appeared and engulfed Yoruichi as she burns. This barrier is a c.u.mulation of her skill in space magic. Even if an Ultimate Class Devil was trapped it would take him or her a whole day to breakthrough it.

Confident with her magic, Kuroka turned her attention back to the hot spring where Koneko is staying, intending to escape and noticed that the only guy is already awake and filming the whole scene with a large grin and camcorder that appeared out of nowhere.

Kuroka's steps faltered and wanted to cover herself. She really didn't mind being seen but the way he looks at her is different from other men she had ever met. Every one of them would have at least some trace of l.u.s.t no matter who it is, but this guy with a large grin sends shivers to her back. Instead of looking at her as a woman, he is looking at her like an object that needs to be inspected, 'How can someone give me that kind of look!?' Without being a narcissist, she's very confident with her appearance and figure that allows her to seduce her opponents and give her an opening.

Koneko and Aika noticed Kuroka's reaction and looked to the side. They saw Kisuke recording the scene with a large grin and they proceeded to attack him. Koneko sent out a kick while Aika activated her Sacred Gear and threw it to him, "Kisuke-senpai... What are you going to do with that recording?" "Kisuke-san... Will you use it for your own happy time alone?"

Kisuke dodges by using Flash Step and reappearing on the top of a rock near the hot spring with a towel wrap around his waist, "Koneko-chan, Who wouldn't want to record a black catfight? And Aika-chan, Yoruichi can always accompany me in my alone time so I don't need it."

"What!?" Both of them were dumbfounded at his words. Although they knew that they were lovers, both of them didn't expect that he would admit openly that they already crossed the line. They thought that they can naively believe that nothing would happen to them as they were always around the two, but thinking about it again, that kind of belief is truly naive and unbelievable. They always hoped that they don't cross the line as they could still catch up to Yoruichi who appeared before them. But the situation now is different and tiny flames of passion started to burn inside them.

'Huh? What now? Did I step on a landmine somehow? They should have known that Yoruichi and I are lovers and something like this is very normal.' Kisuke was dumbfounded at their reaction. As smart as he is, he couldn't process everything inside the woman's head. It's already a big achievement that he has some understanding of it.

Kisuke ignored them for now and turned his attention back to Kuroka who started to move again, 'Did she notice the look I'm giving her? Pretty sharp eh...' "Kuroka-san, if I were you, I wouldn't take away my attention from Yoruichi."

With those words, Kuroka stopped again, "Eh?"

From behind her, she heard a voice that shouldn't have come near her, "My turn~."
