Love Returned From The Ashes

Hajime pov: Ririka ran at me and swung her knife. I sidestepped and dodged the blade.

"Nice shot..."

I bunched up my fist and punched Ririka square in the face. "Ptui..." She spit

"They're actually fighting!?" Raden questioned

"Yeah, this isn't good." Ao said

"Don't interfere..." Kanade said

"Why not!?" Ao asked

Kanade smiled. "This is the fight she wants."

That is true. This is the fight I want, and I will not let anyone decide that I can't fight this fight.

Ririka swung the knife, trying to slit my throat, but I blocked using my arm and knocked her back with a kick. She stumbled backwards, and I sprinted towards her, going for a spin kick. She raised her arm, blocking, but since I am physically stronger, she slammed into the wall and fell to the ground.

I went for a follow-up attack, but she rolled out of the way. As she got back to her feet, she stabbed into my shoulder. "Shit." I snarled She jostled the knife around in the wound, actually trying to pull it out to no avail.

"Shit... shit... shit..." Ririka growled

I kicked her away so she couldn't pull her knife out and ran forward, punching her in the face with the side that was just stabbed. "Go to hell!!!" I yelled

Ririka rolled on the ground and landed on her feet once again. She wiped the blood off her face.

"I'll defeat you..." Ririka said

"Heh, I doubt it." I said

I violently tore the bloody knife out of my shoulder and threw it to the side, watching as a blood trail formed.

"That doesn't look good." Ao commented

Blood poured all over my white outfit, but that is what happens when you fight.

I got into my stance once again and rushed at her, throwing a barrage of punches. She began to dodge every single one of them without even trying.

I spit in her face, and she blushed but was blinded, and that allowed me to slam my fist into her face, and I began to hit her with a flurry of punches. My knuckles got bloodier and bloodier as my attacks got faster and harder, until with one final punch, Ririka fell.

"Ha-Hajime, this isn't over..." She wheezed

"Oh yeah?" I questioned

I ran over and grabbed the knife and went to stab Ririka. She let it stab into her arm as she managed to tighten her muscles and pull the knife away from me. That maneuver was really cool, to be honest.

She slid the knife out of her hand and threw it at me. I dodged it, but that was a distraction. She pulled out a switch knife and went to jab it into my eye.

"Nice try..." I threw her and slammed her through a window. She dropped the knife as she writhed in agony.

"Are you alright!?" Kanade asked me

"Yup, but step back..." I said

"Why?" Kanade asked

Ririka lunged through the shattered window, holding a sword that she found in that room, and went to stab it into me. It barely missed Kanade and me.

She glared at me and went to stab me in the head with the sword "Ririkaaaaaaaa!!!!" I screamed.

"Why are you so jumpy?" Kanade asked me

"Why am I so jumpy?" I asked

The most timid girl asked me why I'm jumpy. It's funny and ironic, but at the same time, it's just cool to hear, I suppose.

"What the hell?" Kanade said as she noticed a knife dart pass me.

It's Ririka She is watching me, isn't she? I think that is what is happening. What the heck, why is she watching me? She didn't understand what was happening when I left, but why is this a thing? I don't get it.

"Ririka is after me, right?" Kanade asked

"It looks like it," I told her.

Kanade ran up to me and connected our lips together quickly. "I love you," she said.

"You-You-You ahhhhhhhhhh!" I cried

"Kanade!!!" Ririka screamed

"That's right I kissed Todoroki Hajime and confessed to her, What are you going to do about it?"She yelled

"I'll kill you!" Ririka screamed

"You didn't even notice it was going anywhere!" I told her

"But that was only for a second. As soon as I saw you were going with Kanade, I knew I had to follow. Kanade isn't going to satisfy you at all; she isn't like me. I know all your ins and outs, Banchou!" Ririka said

"You are crazy!" Kanade said

"You are crazy to think Hajime would like you!" She screamed

"I do," I said to her.

"Hajime, my Hajime, you are no one else's; you don't deserve to be with anyone else but me. I love you the most, you know. I love you the most, you know. I want to see you the most, you know. I want to hug you the most, you know. I want to kiss you the most, you know. I want to fu-" I cut her off before she could finish.

"I'm fine with a harem!" I yelled

"You are fine, but I don't want to share you; after all, you are my Hajime and only my Hajime," she said.

"I'm not only yours," I said.

"Hajime, you are only mine. I own you. I love you. You are my Hajime, only mine. I own you. I love you. You can't escape me. You can't love anyone else but me because I'm the greatest and show you so much love, and I am. just so cute that you adore me, right?" She asked

"Kanade is cute too," I said.

Her eyes filled with bloodlust suddenly.

"She hasn't done anything with you, though I've done everything for you, and yet you dare to say something stiff like this: you love me the most; you have to; if you don't, I don't know what I will do. You are the only person I can think of, the only person I can love. You are mine after all, and I am not the only one who should have the privilege to have you because I'm your lover, Todoroki Hajime, your future wife, so love me!" She said

She is talking crazy. I can't be this extreme with her, but at the same time, if I humor her, then we can at least get out of this situation. But is it really a good idea to give this girl what she wants since she is talking crazy? She is insane, clearly, so should I humor this behavior or should I just run?

"Ririka, I love Hajime, and I'm not budging." Kanade said

Ririka growled "Fine, be defiant!" She yelled

I don't know what that meant, but her anger wasn't good. Maybe the two of us should run and not engage after all.

I thought about what she did and how she was acting, and as I punched, I hit the blade, beginning to shatter it. As I did that, I slammed my fist into her face, and she flew back, smashing through the wall. I glared at her and laughed.

"I win!!!" I yelled
