Lux
I walked into the fighting arena and waved my hand to Sakura
Sakura, it's been a long time, little sister
I smiled kindly
How are you?
I reached out my hand trying to stroke Sakura's head
Sakura quickly moves away from Lux's reach.
I'm fine Lux-onisan, and please stop calling me your little sister.
She glares at him with an intense look.
We're rivals now.
Sakura cracks her knuckles, signaling her readiness for battle. The tension in the air rises as she assumes a combat stance, staring at Lux without breaking eye contact.
I smile
Okay... Sis
I stretch my wrists then get into my fighting stance
Let's give our best
Her brows furrow in annoyance at his playful refusal to stop calling her 'sis'.
If that's how you want it Lux...
Her voice remains level, but determination hardens her gaze.
You talk as if there'll be a winner.
With swift steps, she closes the distance between them.
I'm not here to compete with you.
Without hesitation, she launches a blistering fast straight punch right at Lux's jaw, her striking speed and force immediately showcased in her opening gambit. The whole arena watches with bated breath, eager to see if this little sister is just hype or the real deal.
I was surprised by Sakura sudden attack 'so fast' I jumped back then stepped forward
You've grown strong Sakura
I regained my balance then I launched a side kick targeting Sakura's shoulder
Sakura uses her lead fist to redirect Lux's kick, the motion fluid and natural like a dance.
Aren't you supposed to be the big brother?
She swiftly responds, not just defending but immediately countering with an elbow to Lux's side.
The weak one needs more time to grow.
Sakura's strikes are rapid and continuous, striking while he's off-balance, not allowing him time to set up his heavy hitters.
From the beginning, you always left me in the shadows.
Her punches land sharp and fast, each carrying deceptive power behind them.
You just wouldn't let me grow properly.
Her rhythm doesn't falter, moving from open-hand strikes to quick jabs to a spinning back kick, each hit perfectly calibrated to test Lux's ability to adapt.
Lux was slowly pushed back as Lux tried to block, parry and dodge Sakura's attacks, until finally Lux was in the corner of the arena cage
This is bad
I smiled awkwardly
No matter how much I did, it was always compared to you.
The bitterness in her voice is palpable as she presses her assault, a barrage of lightning-fast kicks keeping Lux firmly on the defensive.
And it was always found wanting.
Sakura feints low, using the motion to slip a blindingly fast jab into Lux's guard, aiming squarely at his chin.
If you fall today, perhaps they'll finally see.
Even as she pushes her advantage, Sakura's gaze remains cold, any hint of her old affection for Lux long since buried.
And I can finally be free of your shadow.
Lux blocked Sakura's quick jab but Sakura launched another attack which hit Lux square in the stomach
Lux coughed
You're just not using your legs.
Sakura comments. She leaps back, maintaining a wary distance between her and Lux.
It's too late for you, oni-san.
Her expression remains stoic, showing little emotion other than cold focus.
The fight is already over in my heart.
Sakura's eyes narrow as she studies her brother. She seems calm on the outside, but her inner turmoil and determination are undeniable. She circles Lux, probing for an opening to unleash the full might of her speed and technique once more. She darts in with another lightning fast combo, using fast hits to probe Lux's defenses, looking for that elusive opening that will allow her to launch a decisive strike.
I leaned against the wire wall of the arena, my breath heavy and my body covered in bruises and pain
Ha...
I looked at my sister
Sakura..
I smiled
I took my defensive stance
My eyes focused and I used my technique
Sakura sees the determined look in Lux's eyes, a spark of her old affection for him almost resurfacing briefly.
I know that look, Lux. But this time, it won't be enough.
Sakura ducks under one of Lux's swings, immediately turning it into a counter attack, hitting Lux hard across the ribs.
You were always ahead of me. Faster, stronger. But now? You can't even land a solid hit.
Sakura's eyes flash with a bitter laugh.
I'm not the Sakura you used to know.
Sakura doesn't go for the kill, she continues pressuring him, wearing him down with her relentless barrage of attacks. It's not just about winning anymore. For Sakura, this is personal. She wants Lux to realize, to understand just how much his constant comparisons and neglect hurt her.
I saw a small gap in Sakura's barrage of attacks, I ducked then stepped forward quickly hugging Then takle sakura to fell. Sakura lost her balance then I held her hand pinned to the ground
ha..
I continue to hold it so as not to move an inch
it's over sis
but Sakura threw her knee hard into Luk's crotch making Lux release his grip
UGH!?!
'what the hell'
sakura managed to escape and then stood up, then sakura moved forward, sakura grabbed Lux's hair and then slammed her knee into Lux's face
Sakura grins coldly.
It seems the big brother isn't so tough after all.
She releases her hold, allowing Lux to stumble back. But she doesn't pursue, waiting to see how he responds to her ruthless assault.
I didn't even need my shinobi arts for this. You're going to regret underestimating me.
She maintains her distance, baiting Lux to try and test if his defenses are still solid.
But you won't learn. You never did.
Sakura's hands curl into fists, ready for the next exchange, but also watching, calculating. She knows this battle is far from over, that Lux still has some fight left in him. But for now, she has the advantage.
