Fight with Satsuki.

After a moment I decide to break the silence.

"I think I should go, your parents should come soon..."

"Okay..."

She responds weakly.

Then I separate from her but not before caressing her hair.

"Your hair is beautiful, maybe you should let it down"

She lowers her head as she sheepishly answers.

"I'll think about it"

I nod with a smile as I prepare to leave.

"I hope we meet again in a similar situation next time"

She blushes more at my comment but she doesn't deny me the word.

Then I go decisively.

She stares at the place where I left for a while.

And then she smiles slightly as she touches her lips remembering the previous moment like it was a dream.

...

I am walking with a happy mood.

Today has been a very productive day.

I just made out with Tenten without it being an accident this time.

And best of all, I have a feeling I'll be able to do it again.

But first let's go to sleep.

Tomorrow I have to continue my pending search.

Then out of the corner of her eye she caught a familiar silhouette.

She then turned her head and I meet someone she was looking for a long time.

'I'm looking for you, I can't find you; I'm not looking for you, I find you; What's happening here?'

Then I silently walk towards her.

'I think today is my lucky day, I can do the same thing twice'

Then as I get closer I notice that she starts to pick up her pace.

'Okay. nothing happens, let's continue'

I chase her a little further into the distance and notice that she starts to run.

'Okay, she noticed me, but today you are not going to escape'

'According to me, today you're going to end up like Tenten'

So I chase after her as she turns a corner.

I follow her around the corner too.

Then contrary to my expectations I find her looking me in the face.

Then stop short.

"Oh wow, what a coincidence to meet you"

She smiled perfectly.

"Following a person around town is considered 'casually meeting'"

"Hehehe, little details, don't give it importance"

I see Satsuki ahead of me with a calm face as she looks at me.

I give him a curious look.

'I see that she is calm, I thought she would blush when she saw me, but I see that is not the case'

"Then how about you accompany me to a practice?"

She suddenly proposes a request to me that she had not expected at all.

She raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, what fly bit you? Normally you don't do those requests"

she asked her with curiosity and confusion.

I think it would be the first time she asked me something like that.

"The reasons don't matter, do you accept or not?"

"..."

"What's wrong, are you scared?"

She smiles provocatively.

"Who is afraid? Of course I accept"

Unable to bear the look of underestimation on her face, I readily accept.

"So about the rules-"

"How about we skip some of it"

Then I show a face of doubt.

"What are you talking about?"

"I want a realistic fight"

Then I show a slightly confused face.

"Come on, don't-"

"I'm seriously"

Then I notice that the atmosphere suddenly changes to a more solemn one.

Noticing that she looks at me with a serious face then I snap out of my previous state to enter a more serious one.

"Hey Satsuki, you know what you're asking for right?"

"Of course I know it"

"Then you should know that you could get seriously injured in an accident and even border on death, I'm not going to hold back, you know that?"

"Hmp, I think you're overestimating yourself, you better take care of yourself because this time I won't hold back"

Then all the playful trace within me disperses and I change my face to a serious one.

I frown.

"Then could you tell me why do you want to fight me?"

"I want to test all my strength"

"Even if you get hit really hard because of that"

She frowns.

"What are you implying?"

"I'll be honest, I'm not the same as a few months ago"

"Neither do I"

She furrowed her brows a little more but let them go.

'What stung her, why is she suddenly asking me for this?'

Does her resentment of her towards me when we had our first fight still linger?

I don't know the answer but I can't back down now.

"Okay, then we'll do it your way..."

-Satsuki-

I'm going with Yuu towards the outskirts of the city.

I want to see the full strength of him.

Some time ago he was hiding his strength but I didn't think it was that much because I'm also not using all my strength, I was contained just like him, but suddenly I realized something when I was training with my brother.

While we were training obviously I held back at all times so as not to hurt him.

Although his strength is very weak, he still lacks certain things.

But the fact is that when he was fighting with him I felt a kind of rhythm.

It was a moment but I felt that this rhythm was similar to the one that Yuu and I had.

Although in our case I thought that he was practicing a technique that specialized in dodging, which is why he asked that we have certain restrictions.

But in my battle with my brother I realized that he could keep up because I was faster, not because he specialized in dodging.

And then my case with Yuu overlapped and then I thought:

'And if he was stronger than me and all this time he was playing with me'

I have no way of verifying it because after a little reflection I decided to face him head-on and ask him for a duel where we no longer hold back.

I know that was very sudden but I have to do it, the doubt has been haunting me all night.

--

I'm walking with her into the woods and suddenly I feel like a little transformation in my body.

As if he knows that the battle is coming, he becomes restless due to a certain impulse that is growing in him.

'Since when have I become a fight freak'

'Oh yeah, I think it was when I used the berserker card'

'I knew it wasn't a good idea to absorb this ability, but now is not the time for regrets.'

Today I must teach Satsuki the difference between power.

I didn't want to do this, but I'm forced to.
