3rd Pov:
Both rider and mount are trying to overpower the other, but so far it's a stalemate. Yuuki's arm shakes from the increased struggle but he grits his teeth and pushes forward with Kyouka as the woman and oni leap back from them.
The woman's smile grows more playful and curious as she scans Kyouka and Yuuki's form like a toy, "Well, now aren't you a tough one"
Kyouka ignores her as she zeros in on the oni Shuuki, pointing the tip of her katana at the demon. "I've finally found you... Unihorn!" she yells, causing Yuuki to glance at her once before focusing back on the fight.
The woman raised a brow but her smile remained the same as she looked down at her pet, "Oh? Sounds like they have a nickname for you"
The oni or Unihorn doesn't react at all, not even a blink, it just remains motionless like a statue.
Yuuki takes in the unihorns' form assessing their strength and hopefully any weaknesses he could exploit but he doesn't see which frustrates him.
'That's the bastard who destroyed Miss Kyouka's village' he thought, ready to leap in and clash again but he thought otherwise.
'That thing is in a league of its own compared to me' he thought as he glanced at the hand he clashed with, finding it still shaking.
Movement out of the corner of his vision caught his attention as he tilted his head to see. He finds Shushu on all four, recovering from the damage she received and Himari flat on the ground unconscious with scratches covering her body. They are in no condition to fight.
His priority is to drive away the Unihorn and tend to his teammates as fast as possible before the Shuuki arrive and complicate things.
Off to the side of them, the Shuuku continue to fuse together growing bigger and bigger as the people ignore it like a bug to be dealt with later.
Kyouka diverts her blade to the woman riding the Unihorn, "You, on the Shuuki! Who are you?!" she screams out, ignoring the chaos around her.
The woman sits lazily on Shuuku, resting her arm on her knee as she ponders for a second, "...I guess you could say I'm the demon defence force's archenemy"
Her hair brought up a peach into the woman's hand, almost like she was presenting it for a show and tell.
Immediately, Kyouka notices it and arches her brow slightly, "A Mato peach? What is she up to?"
The woman leans forward slightly, "By the way, have you seen my little brother anywhere?" she asks curiously.
The woman brought the peach close to her mouth and licked it like some ice cream as she kept her eyes trained on Kyouka, "He's easy to spot, seeing as how he's the most handsome man ever" she floats as she takes a bite of the peach and narrows her eyes at them as killing intent radiated from her.
Kyouka blinks, a little caught off guard by the question, 'Little brother? There are more of these things?'
The woman's smile lowers slightly as she throws the peach into the sky, Kyouka's eyes follow the peach before the woman and the unihorn blur next to them.
Yuuki reacts as he throws his fist at the unihorn as it too throws its own fist at him. They clashed once again but Yuuki was easily knocked away.
Yuuki stabilised himself as he rolled his upper body around and around, the chain attached to his collar followed around like a whip with Kyouka at the end of it before bringing it down as she swung down with her katana.
Though the attack was deflected by the woman's elongated hair. She pulled back her hair as her lips gave way to a grin, "My little brother was obsessed with me, you see" she continued.
"He was always following me around we were young" she said before leaping up at Kyouka and kicking her away but she managed to block it in time.
Yuuki pulled the chain as Kyouk held on as she landed on his shoulder, glaring at the woman.
She ignores the glare as she continues talking, "Despite that, the instant he got a bit older" the unihorn charged at them, its horn aimed at Yuuki.
Yuuki held on and tried to stop the unihorn as he was being pushed back, "he turned into such a rascal" she said like the chaos around her wasn't there.
As he was being pushed back with ease, the unihorn sharply threw them away with a simple flick. Yuukians Kyouka was sent crashing down onto hard ground.
"But those were fun days for me, because I got to knock some manners into him" she said.
Yuuki and Kyouka got up and stared down at them, It can talk?! Is it a Shuuki?' he thought, still not believing what's in front of him.
He shook his head quickly, 'Whatever, all that matters right now is that this one's clearly different from the rest'
The woman raised a finger at them, "My little brother's name is..."
Before she could finish, a deafening roar resounded around them as the Shuuki who had been fusing had now turned into a giant Shuuki.
His roar caused the air to ripple away and loose rocks to fly away, a declaration of its power.
The woman gritted her teeth as she turned sharply at the giant Shuuki and glared at it. Though that glare triggered something from Yuuki's memories, the memory of his sister who had a similar glare when anyone tried to bully him.
But she went missing in a Mato mishap when he was just a child.
The woman's hair split off into 5 tendrils as she launched them at the giant, "I'm talking to them about my brother, so don't get in the damn way!" she yelled.
Her hair wrapped around the giant as they squeezed almost all its body, which was crushed as green blood spayed everywhere like a shower with only a few pieces of its limbs left of the creature as they dropped to the ground with a heavy thud.
Kyouka and Yuuki stared wide-eyed eyed at the display of power, the ease and casual way she took it down was on par with the chief's.
"Have a snack" she said as her hair brought a meatball of what the rest of the giant Shuuki had become, she dropped it in front of the unihorn as it immediately began to devour the snack it was given.
A realisation was brought upon Kyouka. The display of power against her, Yuuki and the giant Shuuki, the ability to talk and the way she commands the unihorn like a pet.
"I get it...You must be their Commander" she declared as Yuuki leapt at them.
The woman shook her head playfully, "You just don't know anything about Mato, huh?"
Her hair moved around like snakes as they shot at them with blinding speed. Yuuki twisted and turned his body to avoid each hair tendril before both he and Kyouka sliced at them with Yuuki attacking from above and Kyouka swinging from the side.
But unfortunately, the attack was dodged as the unihorn moved to the side with blinding speed and leapt back.
The woman's hair gleamed again, "This is a world full of curses!" she yelled as she prepared to fire the beam.
Kyouka and Yuuki jumped at different sides but the woman cut off the energy as she grinned at Kyouka, almost mocking her.
Kyouka's eyes widen in surprise, 'A faint!'
Before she could do anything, she was swatted away by the woman's hair, leaving Yuuki on his own.
The woman turned her attention to Yuuki as her grin grew, "You've got a nice Shuuki of your own, but say goodbye!" she yelled, making sure Kyouka heard her.
The woman's hair shot forward as she smashed Yuuki into the ground and brought him over by his arms. As he was brought closer, the woman's eyes went wide as she detected something familiar about the being in her grasp.
Yuuki stared at her as sweat trickled down his cheek.
"This isn't a Shuuki" she mumbled to herself as realisation dawned upon her before she reached out to grab him with her hand.
"You're..."
She was cut off by a savage Kyouka slicing the hair holding Yuuki and swinging down on the woman.
The unihorn jumped back but the woman landed in front of her pet as pain hit her from her arm. Looking at the source of her pain, she finds a cut mark on her arm with red blood flowing out.
She held onto her arm where the wound was before Kyouka appeared above her, ready to slice her in two but Unihorn stopped her with his horn as she lost her grip on her sword.
Her sword implanted itself in the ground behind her as she glanced back it but the sound of movement in front of her caught her attention.
The woman got back on the Unihorn and leapt out of the pit and continued to jump away. Kyouka refused to let them leave as she yelled out at their departing figure in the distance "Frigging' cowards! Don't run away from me!"
"Miss Kyouka!" Yuuki said, trying to snap her out of her angered state.
But she didn't listen as she walked over and ripped her katana out of the ground, "Fine then! I'll do exactly what you did to all of those villagers and Xicor!" she yelled as her eyes turned bloodshot.
"And tear you apart!"
"Yuuki!" she called her partner but he didn't come nor did he answer her.
She turned sharply to him, "What are you doing, Yuuki?! They're getting-" she yelled but she cut herself off as she watched Yuuki smash the Shuuki away from a weakened Shushu.
Kyouka clenched her fist before she punched herself in the face as her hat fell off her head, bringing clarity to herself.
Kyouka hoisted an unconscious Himari on her shoulders as she immediately gave out orders to Yuuki, "Yuuki! Himari and Shushu's safety is our top priority, we're pulling back now" she said as she cut down a Shuuki in half.
"Yes, ma'am" he acknowledged the order"
Kyouka jumped on Yuuki's back as he leapt out of the pit and away from danger before running back to the 7th unit dorm, still unaware of the black bird flying high above them.
1st Pov Shikoku:
I grogily open my eyes as the faint lights of my and my consort's room. Last night's experience was amazing, my body still tingles from the afterglow.
A soft smile graces my lips as I run a hand down my thigh under the covers, my legs do feel a bit numb but it was worth it.
I lick my lips as I look at the man who holds me in his arms, his soft breathing and his relaxed expression are almost enchanting and make me stare for who knows how long.
I lift a hand to trace his face, starting from his cheeks down to his chin then to the underside of his lips.
I'm completely addicted to him.
My smile grows as I lift myself until I'm looking down at him, my hair drapes down the side of my head, almost touching him though my snake tips seem to be drawn to him as I am as they sliver towards him, their tongues almost touching him, probably afraid of waking him up as I am.
I didn't know how long I was staring down at him but I found myself lying my whole body on top of him, careful not to wake him up.
Our warm bodies made contact which made me hum in content. I rested my head on his chest as I looked up at him.
It wasn't long until his own eyes opened, and he first looked at the ceiling. Probably processing what happened last night.
My smile grew as his eyes landed on me, "Morning, my dear~" I said, ensuring that my voice was sweet and honeyed.
I lift myself to plant my lips on his. We remained like that for a while until I pulled back and gravitated back to his chest. Closing my eyes, I let out a contented sigh as he ran his finger through my hair and even toyed with snakes at each tip.
"How was it?" he asked.
"Amazing, who knew you could please a god like that" I said opening one eye to look at him.
He chucked a little, though as much as I love to watch him, duty calls.
I sighed sadly as I reluctantly got up off his warm body, his warmth stayed on me until it slowly disappeared. I moved to a nearby closet to get a fresh set of clothes.
I could feel his gaze upon my body, the idea of going for another round was tempting but Taikyoku would get upset if I didn't do her orders right.
With his gaze under me, I put on a fresh set of clothes and turn back to him as my snakes help tie my red bow.
Walking over, I pecked his lips, "I'll be gone soon, the time to reveal ourselves is now" I said as I walked over to the door.
"Where are you going?" he asked curiously with a hint of worry that I easily detected.
It's so hard not to jump on him and devour him again but I suppressed it, for now.
I turned my head slightly so one eye was on him as I watched him put a fresh set of clothes on himself, "Why, I'm going to the 3rd unit to test regular members against a god like myself"
