Chapter 8: Red-Haired Demon PT. 2

Step by step The Red-Haired Demon is slowly going closer to the group with a wicked battle hungry smile on her face. Ryuji slowly gets up, the boxer does a little hop going side to side raising his arms up getting into an amateur boxing pose. Yuumo gets up quickly, but he moves back a little, getting a bit terrified of what Ryuji is going to do to Hina. 

"You gotta be insane, are you actually going to fight her?!" Ryuji didn't look at Yuumo, just ahead at the smoke, he could hear her footsteps getting louder and louder, even though he is battle hungry as well the boxer couldn't let that get to him. "It's better than nothing.. we just have to try and beat her!" 

Ryuji leaped onto the smoke, as it clears out and he headed in for a right jab to Hina's gut. A loud bam sound would be heard. The smoke would be clear, but Hina looked unfazed. She was holding Ryuji's fist like it was nothing. Hina let out a laugh, lifting Ryuji's arm up as fast as he could. "That punch barely did a thing.." with unbelievable strength, she punched Ryuji's stomach, threw him around and slammed him on the floor. A gust of wind flew through Ren, Hikaru and Yuumo, knocking the boxer out clean. The 3 of them are now officially terrified of The Red-Haired Demon and they need to escape before matters get worse. 

Hina pointed at Hikaru, smiling devilishly as her hair sways quietly. "Tomioka, you're little boxing friend isn't putting up much of a fight. Is that all you and your little entourage have in store?!" She began laughing as Hikaru let out of tch. "REN GRAB RYUJI AND LETS MAKE A RUN FOR IT!" 

Ren started to hesitate, how can he get Ryuji if Hina is standing right below him. The Athlete smacked his face as hard as he could, deciding that he should go for it, he would run to Ryuji and look up at the Student body president. Intense Eye contact with Hina and once he grabbed the boxer, Ren started to run off with lightning speed as smoke erupts before her, letting Yuumo and Hikaru escape. Hina just watches them run off, walking back into the office to grab something. 

Hikaru is holding his side, Ren is Carrying Ryuji on his back and Yuumo is just running with them, trying to get away from the Red-Haired Demon as far as possible. Hikaru bumps into Ren, continuing to run along with the group as fast as he can. "Why aren't you going faster? I thought you could go faster than this.." he would say, still holding on his side. Ren just gave Hikaru a glare, picking up the pace a little. "You want me to leave Yuumo and you behind while you get your ass whooped by a girl then by all means go ahead!" 

"Tch, I was just caught off guard, but with this distance, I can get her from here." Shoto's rival would stop, pulling out his metal bow and arrows, awaiting for Hina's arrival. Ren would set Ryuji down, taking off his school uniform jacket slowly. "Yuumo, watch Ryuji for us alright?" 

Yuumo blinked quietly, he really wanted to help them, but if watching out for the boxer is the best option then he has to do it. He nods slowly, sitting down right by the unconscious boxer. Hikaru and Ren waited for Hina to arrive, but they noticed something was off. The hallway is completely empty, questioning if it would already be too late as slow footsteps started to get louder and louder, Ren would get into a running stance staring straight ahead at the empty hallway. Hina was holding a kendo stick, twirling it around her hand smoothly like it was nothing. 

Both Hikaru and Ren would give in to the Student body president's terror, Hikaru pulls back his arrow from his bow and releases it as it flies straight at Hina. Hina still has a smile on his face as she quickly deflects the arrow away unfazed. Ren runs lighting fast, already showing up right in front of Hina as he attempts to punch hina square in the gut, she dodges swiftly using her kendo stick to push Ren back by slamming it into his gut, he flies to Hikaru aggressively. The Runner held his gut gently, having one knee down on the ground, looking at Hina nervously. Ren is not going to give up, he moves his left leg back, instantly dashing off towards Hina. The student council president attempts to pierce Ren's chest by using her kendo spear, but the runner has a different plan in mind.

Ren hops onto one of the lockers and begins to run along them, having his right hand guide him carefully. He would then push himself off the lockers quickly, immediately kicking Hina straight on her head. The kick would hit, but as for Hina, she smiled like a monster, instantly grabbed Ren by the throat, slamming his head onto one of the lockers with her brute strength. The locker door busted open as Ren coughed up a little bit of blood. Yuumo would watch this unfold, sort of terrified by this little battle they are having. Hikaru however, started to remember when Shoto punched the older version of Endo with brute strength, Ryuji woke up looking slowly towards Hina carefully. "She's.. almost like Shoto.."

Hikaru looked at Ryuji with an angry expression on his face, he didn't like what he just said. "She's not! She was just better than you.." Meanwhile Hina tightens her grips slowly as Ren slightly aches in agony. "You're fast and you actually hit me. Nice, but it's not good enough!" Her wicked smile would grow as Ren tried to get out of her choke hold. Her grip was unfortunately too strong, and suddenly an arrow flew past them. Hina glares at Hikaru who already launched it, letting go of Ren casually as the runner falls to the ground and begins to cough. Hikaru adjusted his glasses slowly, preparing another arrow to his bow slowly. Hina twirls the kendo spear, crouching down slowly as she holds it onto her side of her face, guiding her other hand across the stick slowly. The two of them stare each other down, it's like they're not letting each other's guard down. Hikaru pulls back the thread on the bow slowly, locking his eyes onto the student council president carefully, Hina starts to run towards the archer, surprisingly she can outrun Ren in terms of speed. Hikaru immediately fires the arrow, as it multiplies to fifty as they fly towards his target. Hina plants her feet onto the ground, quickly deflecting them one by one as quickly as she could. One of the arrow files past her and makes a curve like it's an autopilot missile flying straight towards her head. Without her even looking back, she ducks her head and slightly moves her body dodging the last few remaining arrows. Hina gets up quickly, she was going to run to Hikaru, but would soon be by Ryuji as the boxer punches her straight in the face. 

Hina's face turned as the attack landed, she would turn head to Ryuji, spitting out blood to the side like she was insulting the boxer. Ryuji started to throw out punches towards the student body president as she began to dodge them slowly, until finally she hits Ryuji with her Kendo stick then does a 360 roundhouse kick to his head, as the boxer falls straight towards the ground hard. Hina laughs looking at Hikaru with an evil smile on her face. "Come on Tomioka! Is that the best your group can do?! Come on! Give me a real challenge!" Yuumo slowly gets up, beginning to stretch his arms and legs, Hikaru would take a quick glance at him then straight back at Hina. "Sit the hell down Yuumo, this isn't your battle to fight. Besides you're better o-" before Hikaru can finish his sentence, Yummo interrupted "Shut up and not another word." He runs towards Hina grabbing one of the arrows that's on the floor quickly trying to stab her side with it. Yuumo misses it on purpose, it was only to catch the Red-Haired Demon off guard which it works. The gamer kicks the Kendo stick out of her hands and Yuumo catches it quickly, pointing it directly at Hina casually. Hina grabs it, yanking it back which would cause Yuumo to move forward to her, Yuumo would then hit her in the head with a headbutt. Hina moved back a little; she'd gotten her kendo stick back, but she noticed something was wrong with Yuumo.

"Yuumo… your name is just a name that you put on a high score in those arcades." Yuumo quietly listened to Hina, taking a glance at the broken, split locker door then back at the Student council president. "You're not a boy aren't you, Yumēko?" Hikaru's eyes widened, he didn't know that 'Yuumo' was her stage name, but he also didn't know that He was a girl. 

Yuumo sighs walking towards the locker door, taking it off completely. "It's not like I was trying to hide it, I thought everyone knew! Now respect my pronouns!!" The gamer wouldn't waste any time talking, as she is about to throw the locker door straight at Hina. 

A loud sound would be heard across the hallway, Shoto slowly wakes up from it getting up out of his desk and begins to stretch. He would walk up to his teachers desk, grab his and the other students' permission slips papers and begin to head out with Neko to the Student Council's Office.
