After that incident Master Ryuzaki took Kaito to this village. Kaito was traumatized and was usually living alone.
He carried that katana everywhere. He is used to get inside the forest and used to sit near that waterfall crying in despair. Master was not able to calm him down.
Kaito became normal but lost his joyfulness while recovering. Kaito does not want anyone to be close with him. He thinks that he might lose them.
Noru said nothing after that. The rain answered for him, growing harsher with every heartbeat.
Ryu looked towards Noru and said "Sensei? Then why I feel that Kaito is not hiding anything. He always tries to avoid me, wants silence."
Noru smiled and said "Kaito knew that you are the same like his brother. He always avoided you just because that he does not want you to get hurt or something. He lost everything but currently his world is just inside this village."
Noru smiled and closed his eyes. The drop of water from the clouds touched his forehead. He was lying down the ground leaving his thoughts and feeling the drops.
Ryu walked out and climbed up the roof again.
He saw Kaito walking silently and Subaru waiting for him like a fearless warrior.
Kaito's grip tightened as he held the blade low, rain from its edges like falling tears.
Kaito suddenly vanished leaving Subaru surprised he took out his Dadao and swung it towards the sky. He hit something he saw a partial figure but was not able to understand it.
Subaru took few steps back and swung his Dadao up in the sky. He closed his eyes. He was focused he sensed something behind his back. He reacted on it and held something it smashed it down the ground.
It was Kaito and he was inside the ground Subaru recalled his blade and was going to stab Kaito.
Subaru struck inside the ground. Everyone thought now Kaito is injured he would lose. Subaru saw that Kaito was not there. Subaru looked back and Kaito struck him with a Storm Heel kick. Subaru was stunned Kaito held his katana tight and slashed Subaru's chest.
The wound should've dropped him. It didn't. Subaru's eyes still carried that same, stubborn fire.
Subaru enraged grabbed Kaito's leg and tossed him up in the air. Blood dripping from his chest, Subaru raised his Dadao and threw it skywards. The weapon curved through the storm before striking Kaito.
Kaito placed his katana forward the Dadao clashed Kaito lost control and fell down towards Subaru.
Subaru gave a Rising Impact on Kaito. Kaito curled his body and started coughing.
Meanwhile, Yosaku was still standing in the rain looking at their fight. He still didn't move an inch. Yosaku saw something in that match.
Kaito was still on ground. Subaru took his Dadao and tossed it towards the bridge. The blade broke down the bridge and the bucket was hanging on the bamboo.
Kaito stood up barely moving. He vanished again. Subaru left Kaito's presence unnoticed. Kaito appeared in front of Subaru and stabbed him with his own Dadao.
Subaru still didn't move an inch. He took the Dadao out of his stomach. Subaru was still standing. Subaru said "That trick… I experienced it first time. Kid! You are just outstanding… Why don't you name that move."
Kaito coughed before replying and said "This trick? This is not a trick this is a shadow move. This move costs an extreme amount of energy. I call it Shadow Phasing if not used correctly. If used correctly you could dodge or even slice the enemies in seconds."
Subaru smiled and he became silent. He pointed at Kaito and said "Now, give your best otherwise I would turn you to dust."
Kaito recalled his katana and took a stance and rushed towards Subaru.
Subaru still calm looked at Kaito. He spread his hands, freeing the sky's tears in place.
Subaru pointed at Kaito. The raindrops moved at an insane speed striking Kaito. Kaito was not able to defend himself.
Kaito held his katana tight and vanished. Subaru was controlling the drops of water.
Subaru stood still and placed his hand on the Dadao. He became silent He looked back and saw Kaito. He tried to grab him but he vanished again and kicked Subaru down.
Kaito held his katana tight and shook his blade and said aloud "SHADOW SLASH." A dark beam came out of the katana. Subaru was still down. He sat down and it struck.
The slash was a failure. A water screen took the attack. Subaru said "Shadow energy is essential for abilities and moves. If using often could result in exhaustion. But you… You are different."
Kaito stood still he didn't spoke a word. He looked at Subaru and pointed the katana at him. Subaru held his Dadao tight and screamed out loud "Enough of this! Now face the Raging Bull!"
Subaru's Beast Energy started to surge, heat rolling off him like a storm ready to break. The air shimmered as his aura twisted and gathered, shaping itself into something alive, the form of a bull made entirely of his energy and flame.
Kaito stood still. He held his katana and looked at the art Subaru was making.
Subaru's raging bull was just astonishing. Subaru charged the bull at Kaito. Kaito rushed towards the bull and held his katana tight and sliced Subaru's devastating energy. The bull was in two parts Kaito vanished from the place.
Subaru was astonished. He couldn't believe his own eyes. Kaito slashed that attack and vanished.
Subaru felt dizzy. He looked front he saw Kaito has slashed his stomach. Kaito jumped and slashed his back too.
Kaito sat down near Subaru and said "Sensei… You can't wake up now you used every ounce of beast energy in your body. I slashed your body and stole your shadow energy and gave your body a temporary paralysis."
Subaru fell down on the ground smiled. He held his Dadao tight and said "Well Played… Kaito."
