Fight: Sound NPC v Akkuma

[Michi]

Participants: Sound NPC (played by the Otokage) v Akkuma
Moderator: Shiori
Date: May 12


This was round two. Another step closer to victory for one and a badge of honor for each of the combatants that has gotten this far. Those that have made it to this point have already demonstrated their mettle and prowess by defeating a representative from another village, none of them easy victories.

The arena would be dead slent as your name was called as well as your opponent. It would be eerie but you would have to enter the arena all the same, your village was counting on you. Counting on your to not only represent them with honor and blood but to also demonstrate the power your community weilds by having you at their disposal. When the doors opened, you to one side and the other your opponent the crowd would suddenly let our a thunderous roar and would cause the earth and walls to shake.

They were here. They could see you. They wanted to cheer you on!

An announcer would try to make an announcement but his words would be drowned out by the crowd. There was no use in even trying, the crowd was simply too loud. Rather a mysterious man would leap down from the stands, the guards would make no attempt to stop him. The man was short and stout, standing at about three feet with a full head of hair. He was certainly a dwarf and from the looks of it not a particularly handsome one. Despite his assumed youth due to the lack of age lines, he bore a burn to one side of his face and a crooked nose that was likely broken in several places. His eyes were blue and piercing, at one point for a man of such short stature he was likely quite handsome but he was no longer. Festooned in a dark robe with an insignia on the back, a star with too many points, ten to be precise, stitched with golden thread.

He might have said his name but if he had it would be impossible to tell what he said but he seemed to be more a man of action than words anyways as he would gesture towards one fighter, be it your or your opponent and then to the other. He would pause before each and the cheering would grow even louder although it was a wonder that it was even possible. Then he would step back three steps his hands open and his arms lowered. He would look to the crowd and then back at you and your opponent. The crowd would grow silent once again. The dwarf's arms would raise. In a calm, heavily accented voice the strange little man would announce "fight!" His arm would snap down and he would race away.

It was go time!

Akkuma stood before the Gates waiting for them to rise he could hear the roar of the crowds outside even from behind the massive doors. After a moment they began to raise & the Faustian Fox walked out to see a man of small stature before him. This man stood there pointing t him with his piercing gaze before repeating the action pointing at his foe. Those many tails swished behind the Kitsune as he stepped forward, each step leaving behind blue fiery footprints. Those crimson eyes rested only on his foe as he stepped into the open Arena & into the vision of all the crowd. Today Akkuma wore a basic black kimono accompanied with Geta. A top his shoulders were the only sign of his clan the leather bound shoulder guards that bore his clans sigil. Upon his side Pouches of various tools & at first glance one might not see any weapons. But that was because the Fox didn't use conventional weapons, but in his mind that wasn't so uncommon given the tactics used by most beings nowadays.

Crimson eyes still locked on his foe as the man introducing them ordered them to fight. So it was there would be no small banter to start off the battle. He didn't face some young hero who had no idea of what the world was really like. Blind to the trickery of this world. No he'd heard nothing of this opponent he was to face & that was what disconcerted him the most. Chakra would pulse from the Faustian Fox as the battle was about to begin Akkuma wouldn't hesitate. He couldn't any moment lack of concentration & he'd wind up unable to achieve his goal. That was something he couldn't allow. They still hadn't heard his message not yet. In the air they still had no idea of what was truly at stake these people who watched on cheering in ignorance. So many of them had been blind to the plight of shinobi. Turned their backs on them when they needed them the most. Yet he doubted any of them would hesitate to throw away a shinobi's life or profit from their actions.

He would test this Sound fighter, wondering if this one was going to be just as capable as the youth he'd witnessed in the Intervillage Exams. Hell he wouldn't be surprised if they had someone in the crowd ready to try & pull of a sneak attack. Then again he doubted Sound would need to undertake such tactics, not that he doubted they would if needed. But he was certain they'd have sent their best fighters to such an Event. After all even he'd been unable to come across any information about the village or it's people. So curious was the world that even today there were places that powerful villages still remained undiscovered.

Akkuma's opponent may not have been what he was expecting from the enigmatic Otogakure. As the gate lifted as the representative of the small shinobi organization entered the arena, she hardly looked the part of a seasoned fighter. Just a little over five and a half feet tall, Yasha didn't stand at an impressive height nor was she particularly possessed of oversize muscles. She carried no weapons with her on her person and indeed from the look of immersion in the sound of the crowd's yells and jeers she almost seemed like she didn't grasp the gravity of the situation that she was in. Yasha wore a broad smile on her face with her eyes cloaked behind a pair of beetle-black shades as she looked from face to face in the crowd sending her golden blonde hair bouncing around her shoulders as her head turned from side to side taking in her surroundings.

Finally coming to a stop a few feet away from where Akkuma was standing Yasha finally turned her attention to him, lowering her head a little bit and allowing her sunglasses to slip down the bridge of her nose so that she could peek over them at the person they'd chosen to give her as her first opponent. She'd hated being told that she was being given the first bye in the tournament but that was how the dice had fallen. She silently had suspected the Grand Master had played some part in his shinobi getting the first free win but she kept such thoughts to herself... and even then tried not to think too hard on them while in his presence. Even though mind reading wasn't explicitly known to be one of Kageoni's many talents the man was legendary as a mystery wrapped inside of an enigma where the limits of his powers and abilities were concerned. Mind reading wasn't to Yasha's knowledge something that any shinobi possessed the ability to do but what little of her pragmatic side had long ago arrived at an important question where the Otokage was concerned:

But what if he can?

Still, such thoughts were far from the forefront of Yasha's mind at this moment as she peered over the top of her sunglasses at Akkuma for a moment before reaching up and snatching them from her face and casually tossing them directly at Akkuma with a cocky smile and a taunting wink of her left eye. It wasn't an attack or any kind and would be clear that it wasn't but it was definitely a gesture of disrespect intended to rile him up. Master Zanku would have chided her attitude in the moment but despite being his apprentice they had always been opposed in personality when it came to fights. Zanku was a pensive man that saw conflict as a necessary evil but Yasha lived for it. The only time she could truly appreciate life was when her's was on the line and as the moment of the battle drew nearer and nearer she could feel the heat rising in her blood causing the temperature around her body to rise slowly but steadily.

This was gonna be a good one. She could feel it.

NPC: Matsuo Yasha

The initial clash of arms between Yasha and Akkuma left the girl's blood on fire. She'd waited for so long for this moment to be back in the fight that everything else melted away. She couldn't hear the crowd cheering or see them waving their hands around in excitement. She even momentarily forgot that the eyes of the Grand Master were almost assuredly upon her during this match. Purple flames coruscated around her exposed forearms and her shoulders as she felt the power of that she had wrested from the miserable existence of being the Master of the Ranger Order's apprentice.

Eyes wide with predatory excitement at the thrill of the chase, Yasha's breaths came quick and heavy as her chest and shoulders heaved in adrenaline.

Akkuma had done relatively well for himself so far-- he'd spotted her out almost immediately when she'd dissolved and disappeared into her technique even if her posse of clones quickly confused the matter by rushing in and hiding which one of the golden-haired beauties was his true opponent. In the scuffle of action to hide herself among the swarm of herselves that had been created, she'd missed one or two things that the fox-man had done but it didn't matter now. Despite the glowing shield of chakra that he'd thrown up in front of him she'd reached right through it and stolen his courage from him with a glare of her eyes and a flash of her teeth. One of her favorite shock and awe tactics, Yasha favored the types of techniques that left her opponent wide open for attacks and this was no different than the many other times she'd fought with people like Akkuma.

"Don't tell me that's it Ears. You can't have made it through that last guy if you were this boring. You better start taking me seriously or I am going to rip those tails from your body and feed them to you!"

Folding her arms into her sides and squaring her feet, Yasha let a yell build from deep in her chest slowly at first as the flames that burned around her person flashed and suddenly doubled as it expanded down her body covering her in almost a body-suit like aura of purple-pink flames. Dark, cursed chakra poured from her like a sieve as the ground around her feet blackened and burned from mere proximity with her body. Her head drooped as the power around her grew but after a few heartbeats following the stoking of the personalized inferno that burned the air around her body her head snapped back up, her eyes and face donned with an expression that could only be described as a savage lust for battle.

[Sorry for breaking post order-- just making this a priority to get this post up so that we aren't waiting on me during the next few days as I have some long shifts coming up.]

 

[Miroku Akkuma]

Akkuma's eyes widened when his opponent tossed her glasses at him, his crimson eyes watched them fall to the ground as his ears twitched with disbelief. Was this brazen youth truly from that same village as the youth he'd witnessed that day? He could feel the energy erupting from his opponent as the battle begun. Much too his displeasure he soon realized he was facing yet another Hachimon. The Kitsune saw multiple clones of his opponent before they'd found themselves at a slight pause. Standing on the battlefield were two other Akkuma's, not too mention a peculiar purple hue had begun to coat his flesh. Too even further infuriate the fox not only was his opponent a Hachimon, she seemed to have a particular proclivity for Genjutsu.

That powerful presence emanating from her was not something he found himself wanting to allow her to expand. Although his foe seemed intent on ensuring he would have no easy go at this victory. At her words Akkuma would've snarled if he could, but unfortunately for the Fox she'd managed to freeze him in place with a flash of a grin. She'd locked eyes with him & managed to work her way inside his head. The act caused his concentration to falter & his jutsu collapsed upon itself. His barrier becoming useless as the earth fell apart around him. Fortunately for the Fox neither his Bug Clones or his Rinkaichu defense had collapsed due to them not relying on chakra to sustain themselves. A small mercy for the situation he found himself in, he was not accustomed to being in a position where others could goad him without retaliation. It was not something he wished to allow to continue, those crimson eyes filled with rage as he saw the savage bloodlust within his opponents gaze.

He'd known that his fight with a member of the Sound village would not be an easy one, but he'd not expected to be this surprised by the representative. This individual was most impressive already, so far those from Sound seemed to be proving most interesting indeed. Every part of his body fought to be free of the bind that held him in place. Desiring nothing more then to make the woman regret her words.

[Aburabuta Yutaka]

NPC: Matsuo Yasha

Cursed flames dancing around her body, Yasha watched as Akkuma shifted against the grasp of her terrorizing illusion but failed to break it's grasp... and then suddenly stopped trying to fight it and went still. Straightening up, Yasha's pretty countenance screwed up into a confused scowl as she regarded her opponent that had apparently decided to stop resisting the grasp of her oppressive willpower entirely before her confusion gave way to a tidal wave of unyielding rage. With a growling roar, the inferno that twisted around her body jumped in intensity suddenly causing the leather coat that she'd been wearing to disintegrate off of her back into a whirl of ashes and burnt hide as her anger began to take the wheel.

"What happened? Didja give up?" She snarled, storming across the fighting arena as Akkuma remained still under the weight of her cursed illusion and glaring directly into his face.

She lingered that way for another moment before once more a monstrous look of equal parts bloodlust and rage consumed her features and in the blink of an eye she took a step backwards and delivered a straight-line kick directly into the center of Akkuma's chest with every ounce of strength that her body and the demon fire that burned in her veins could muster. With the sound of an explosion and a ripple of force to accompany it that blew the sand and rocks that were scattered around where the two of them were standing away in a tremendous shockwave, Yasha's boot collided with Akkuma's sternum and freed him from the artificial terror that she'd trapped him in... but also sent him bouncing across the sand.

"YOU DON'T GET TO GIVE UP!"

Yasha's cry shook the ground around her feet as she raised her hand and with a whirl of handseals reached through Akkuma's willpower once more to implant another dangerous mental curse on him. The sensation that she inflicted on him was not unlike the pins and needles feeling of a numb limb but magnified by a million. Every movement brought with it painful involuntary muscle spasms that Akkuma would have to contend with if he were going to mount a defense against Yasha's brutal, almost feral at this point, assault against his person.

"Fight back gods damn it. I didn't come all this way for you to chump out on me. Get back up and fight BACK!"

 

[Miroku Akkuma]

This was what he'd come here for to experience a true fighter. His opponent stood before him having managed to worm her way inside his head & paralyze him with ease. Yasha's aura finding it's way inside his mind, bringing to life fear within the Fox. He was powerless before this woman or so she would think. But the Fox centered himself, manipulating the chakra not just within him but around him. All the while his opponent took the opportunity to not only power up but berate him. Such was her chakra now that not just the surrounding environment but the clothing she wore had started disintegrate from the sheer strength of it. She berated him for his seeming lack of effort crossing the distance between them, lingering for the briefest of moments. Before her face contorted with a mixture of bloodlust & rage.

A thunderous boom would resound as the woman moved with such speed & force that the mere impact of her kick caused a shockwave to erupt at the point of impact. Stones & sand exploded away from the two as Akkuma was sent bouncing across the sand. His form tumbling through the sand & stones. Sliding to a halt with his claws buried into the ground, his many tails swished behind him with annoyance. Yasha berated him further on causing the fur of many tails to bristle with rage. When the Foxes gaze once more looked up his eyes would be completed black, voids of darkness starring up at his foes. For he saw multiples of Yasha, he'd found himself under yet another one of her tricks. The Fox could feel her chakra in his body like an infection, he felt disconnected from every nerve in his body. Each movement sluggish & constrained in movement. Still he took a shot at one of his opponents to find it was a false foe. Then came yet another unrelenting assault from his foe.

Yet again his foe berated him as the onslaught of blows continued to land upon him. Each slamming him against the ground time & time again. Each strike landing with a sickening thud against the demon. While most in the audience would think the Kitsune would be regretting putting himself in the current situation. On the contrary though he was exhilarated he enjoyed this the sense of danger & defeat. Where others would find themselves feeling hopeless. Akkuma instead found himself flooded with Adrenaline & reveling in the moment. When defeat licked at ones there was a certain exhilaration in that knowledge. It was a testament to ones character & training as to how they reacted in such situations. Now he would finally get to test himself & see just what kind of being he was.

[Miroku Akkuma]

The Kitsune passed chakra through his body trying to shake free of his opponents Illusions. Much to his joy he succeeded in ending her mental assault if only for a brief reprieve. He'd barely pushed himself up from the ground when his hands were already flying through a series of handseals. Upon completion shadows would erupt from Yasha's own trying to trap her, only to have the woman vanish & proceed to further unleash another assault upon him. Each blow further knocked him down from his stance back to the ground. Each blow giving a sickening thud. It was he who was on the ropes in this battle & he knew it was over. There was no way he could finish of his opponent in the allotted time & at this rate he'd be unconscious before the battle limit had even been reached. A vicious snarl would escape the Kitsune as the shadows once more attempted to grab at Yasha as her assault ended. Only for the woman to easily dodge the shadows attempts to ensnare her.

Once more she attempted to implant her chakra into his body he could feel it as he shook free of the attempted illusion she seemed so eager to see him under. His opponent was briefly lost from his view before he found her & dashed towards her with demonic energy attempted to pierce her heart with a shard of demonic energy. Only to have her dodge his assault at the last minute. Akkuma's fury & rage continued to build up within him. Twice more he tried to strike out at his foe the first time she managed to evade him & the second time he altogether lost sight of her. She struck out at him yet again this time causing his fury to only build further. Her first strike managed to hit him but her second he'd only just managed to evade. His wounds were vastly more significant then hers. Unlike him she possessed the sheer strength required to rapidly break her foes. Akkuma did not possess such means it had been a lack of foresight on his part to not realize the higher rounds would come with new limits.

So be it if he was to fall here before these people & against this woman. He'd at least make sure he fought until he had no more fight in him or the fight had been ended. While he'd managed to infect her with his beetles he'd been unfortunate to be up against another Hachimon. They seemed to be the bane of his very exist. Like the locusts of the shinobi worlds there seemed to be one waiting around every corner. Black kitsune flames licked at the heels of the kitsune as he stood there. Rage flowing through every fiber of his being, to think he'd only come to this point. Healing what little he could of his wounds. His options were limited he could rely on Jinkotsu his summon but he doubted even his Ancient friend would be able to aid him against this foe. While the being could heal him & help stem the deterioration of his current state. It would only prolong the inevitable perhaps if he'd done so earlier, no he'd made his bed & he would have to sleep in it. At this rate his bed would soon be an infirmary. While one might think the demon would be dismayed by the prospect of defeat they'd be wrong. He found such a thought exhilarating, almost intoxicating. "It's not over yet...is that all you've got?" the Kitsune would ask her as he spat some blood onto the sand before him. Crimson eyes alive with pure ecstasy, this is what he came to this tournament to experience.

[Aburabuta Yutaka]

NPC: Matsuo Yasha

Dark flames heaved and surged around Yasha's body as her muscles tightened and bulged, straining against the clothing that she was wearing. She was of a relatively slight size to begin with but now she was almost unrecognizable. Skin pulled taut over her tightly corded muscular structure, Yasha looked the image of a human being possessed by a predatory hunger for battle. Dark ropes of shadow and grasping claws surged out from Yasha's own shadow but with a stuttering series of steps that were imperceptible to anyone that didn't possess power which drew close to equating to their's Yasha dodged each swipe of her shadow as her body flickered in and out of sight, advancing on her opponent in between the reaching grasp of Akkuma's attack with each split-second appearance.

The physical assault that came at the end of her charge was abrupt and feral but not without total control. Yasha possessed a unique talent to weaponize her anger and hate by funneling into her body to magnify her attacks and with each strike of her fists or her kicks she left behind burning bruises that continued to seethe with aftershocks of the impact left behind from her attacks.

She burned all she touched and she loved it.

Her shadow made last reach for her and in that moment she let the ecstasy of the battle take her focus on Akkuma away as she turned and lashed her arm towards her own shadow with an arc of purple-pink flames trailing through the air as she sent her fingers through the manifested darkness and disintegrated it with a wave of her hand. Perhaps it was by sheer luck or maybe she was just that good but Yasha's attention fully returned to Akkuma just in time to perceive his next attack as he coiled his own cursed chakra into a crystalline shard of demonic chakra that she reached up and grasped before it managed to penetrate her chest and spear her through the heart as Akkuma had intended. Flames and sparks flew around them as their chakra clashed and Yasha grinned fiercely across the crystal at her opponent.

"Yeah... yeah that's more like it. Fight back. Fight harder. Struggle." She growled, her voice husky as she flexed her forearms and shoulders in strain at holding Akkuma's crystal spike back before suddenly she crushed the structure in between her hands sending shards of disintegrating crystal darkness in every direction like a shower of fecund glitter. "It's only fun if you resist."

There was a moment between them as the two regarded each other in the falling embers of Akkuma's sundered senjutsu technique and then with a burst of vigor Akkuma was upon her with physical attacks of his own. The first attack she parried with a hard block of her own and the second went wide as Yasha flickered in and out of Akkuma's vision, moving to and from his physical blind spots with terrifying speed making it impossible for him to properly target her with physical attacks. Then suddenly she was in front of him again with an attack of her own. A maniac grin graced her otherwise attractive features as she hopped up off the ground to level the difference in height between them and slammed the forehead of her skull into Akkuma's and intended to finish him off with an upper-cut to the jaw as he stumbled backwards but either she'd misjudged the distance between them or the demon sage recovered his facilities faster than she'd expected as her second strike went wide and they were back to a neutral footing. To his credit, Akkuma didn't seem discouraged by the way the fight was going. If anything it seemed as though his brawl with Yasha was bringing out some of the old demonic instincts that perhaps he'd thought he'd purged himself of as he spat a glob of blood and spittle from his mouth in defiance of his opponent.

It's not over yet... is that all you've got?

"That's my line, isn't it?" She cackled, her own eyes wide with adrenaline and sadistic hunger as she brought her fists up in front of her. "Just the same... we're coming up on the end now. I can feel it. Try and stay standing a little bit longer Ears, I like the way you bounce off my knuckles."

[Aburabuta Yutaka]

NPC: Matsuo Yasha

True to her word, Yasha brought about the end of their fight in a single flash of motion and a hit that resonated off of the stone superstructure of the arena that they were battling in. The shockwave from the attack scoured the ground around them from any debris or rock cover as it was either blown away in the spherical wave of force that emitted from the point where Yasha's fist collided with Akkuma's jawline or were simply pulverized into a fine mist of grit around them. Glass shattered all around the fighting arena as the shockwave reached the upper echelons of seating arrangements turning the VIP boxes into nothing more than glorified balcony setting as Akkuma once more went bouncing across the sand of the fighting ground beneath them.

There was a moment of total silence before the crowd erupted into bloodthirsty cheers at Akkuma's defeat but not particularly because of his defeat. They were here simply to see someone get pulverized, not somebody in particular and the two fighters below them in the sandy ground of the arena floor had put on an excellent show for them even if it had been a tad one-sided at times.

Her eyes focused on Akkuma's body for movement, Yasha fought to get her hunting instincts under control. Under any other circumstances, this wouldn't be the point where she was done with her opponent. Every muscle, every fiber in her body screamed at her to pounce on his unmoving body and tear it to bloody pieces with her bare hands the same way that she had eviscerated the original Sound contestant. She wanted to deliver on her promise to maim Akkuma, to punish him for his weakness in losing. It went against everything that Master Zanku had ever taught her about battle to leave an opponent breathing after a battle but she was not so forgone into her bloodlust that she couldn't recognize that if she descended on Akkuma and gave in to her heart's desire that Sound would unmistakable be punished for it. She would likely be disqualified and bring shame down upon her village and... also upon the Otokage.

Like a razor sharp knife cutting through curtains, her fear of the Grand Master slashed through the bloodlust which was otherwise clouding her judgement and allowed her to retrieve full control of her facilities as the burning aura of corrupting flames that seethed around her body began to wane and then finally disappear. Still breathing heavily, Yasha's body compressed back down to it's normal sleek size and the clothing which had previously been straining against her increased bulk returned to it's normal state a little stretched but otherwise no worse for the wear surprisingly given the battered and burned state that Yasha had left Akkuma in. A broad and cocky smile spread over her countenance as she raised her arms to the cheering crowd and reveled in her victory.

She spared Akkuma one last look over her shoulder as she slowly trudged her way to the exit gate that had opened on "her" side of the arena and then promptly forgot about him. It was time to find Takayuki and celebrate her victory.

 

[Miroku Akkuma]

True to his expectations of a Sound shinobi Yasha did not disappoint. Dark flames of energy surged around he woman's body, her muscles contorting from the very energy coursing through her body. How incredible it was to watch her move across the field. Even to his trained eyes she was a flicker of moment most of the time. Yet again she assaulted his form he could feel the burning of her touch upon his flesh. Each strike a searing reminder of his imminent failure. Around him he could hear the roar of the crowd & faintly through the roars a heard his voice. Somewhere in the crowd he was here, the Kitsune knew he would be getting much joy out of this sight. If even he'd come there was no doubt she was here, somewhere up in that crowd no doubt enjoying seeing him put in his place.

Demonstrating her true prowess his opponent disrupted the shadows that lashed out at her with a gesture of her battle-fueled rage. When he dashed towards her in an attempt to pierce her heart she grabbed the cursed shard shattering it in her grasp. Her words caused him to let out a snarl as he felt more of what he had mistaken for rage earlier. That rage he felt before burned from something that had managed to find within himself once. Those crimson eyes of his locked with his opponent as his technique crumbled before him. Quickly that snarl turned to a smile as he quickly struck out at his foe only to have her vanish from his view again. Only to re-appear & once more attack him with a maniacal grin as she hopped off the ground & unleashed a mighty headbutt upon the Fox. Perhaps she'd underestimated her strength for the blow knocked him out of the way for her next blow. Rolling to a halt he would have his jab or wordplay with her giving the woman what she wanted.

Her words made him chuckle a cold & sinister sound. "I'm sure you do Yasha..." he emphasized her name for he would seek her out again. Akkuma dashed forward planting his clawed hands upon his foe in an attempt to drain her Energy. Only to find he'd placed himself right in the position of her attack. She struck him with such force that the very arena grounds around them would explode from the sheer power of the blow. The Kitsune was launched across the sands tumbling across them as his body tumbled across the sands he would come to rest with a sickening thud against the Arena wall. Even with his body broken & his chances in the tournament over there was still a smile upon his unconscious form. Blood trickled from his mouth & ears. While the demonic attacks continued burning his body his own regenerative powers found themselves fighting a battle they couldn't win.

[K.O'd xD Well fought! Somebody has to drag my broken ass outta here. =P]

[Aburabuta Yutaka]

NPC: Matsuo Yasha

Her opponent defeated and with her declared the winner, Yasha was ready to leave the stadium entirely before a new, better idea hit her. She knew that Takayuki was watching her fight. He'd promised her that he would and he was nothing if not crazy about the promises he made. Stopping short of the exit to the underbelly of the stadium where the fighter prep stations and various staff for the stadium scurried about, Yasha turned and walked back out into the sands of the arena where for a moment it probably looked like she was going back for seconds on beating up Akkuma. Stopping short of the center, she found her eyes drawn to a particular item on the ground.

Somehow, someway her sunglasses had survived the tumult between her and Akkuma. It was a miracle that somehow they'd avoided being destroyed in the chaos of the battle but as she dove into scoop them up into her hand, a jovial grin crossed her features as she recalled the expression of indignation on Akkuma's face when she'd disrespectfully thrown them at him. They were by no means cheap sunglasses but it would have been worth every penny if they'd been destroyed just for that surprised crack in Akkuma's confidence even if it had only lasted for a moment. Brushing the sand off of them, Yasha turned her eyes up to the crowd and visually scanned it before realizing that her plan wasn't a very good one. There were thousands of people present for this fight and she certainly didn't possess any form of sight-enhancing doujutsu. Still, she knew Takayuki and knew that as the apprentice to the Otokage he wouldn't be found among the cheap seats.

With her eyes drawn up to the upper levels, Yasha narrowed her eyes in squints as she did her best to spot her... friend? Boyfriend? Boy toy? Yasha had never really given what they were a definition. She knew he had some particular feelings of attachment towards her but to a level he was just an outlet for her to vent her desire on that she couldn't permanently break. Still, she had to admit that he was fun and that was enough for her.

Finally her eyes locked on to one of the VIP boxes which had been separated from it's glass windows by the reverberating shock of the blow that had ended the fight and found him leaning against the railing, looking out towards her in the arena probably wondering what she was doing standing in the middle of the sands like an idiot. Her smile broadening, she donned her sunglasses once more and with a crouch into a leap, Yasha cleared the arena and began to make her way up to the ledge of the VIP box...
