"So... Is this the part where you give your villain speech and talk shit? If so, then get it over with, miss...," Sora shrugs, his face an expression of boredom and surprising patience for an odd reason. He folds his arms as he taps his right foot awaiting for Yoru's response.
Yoru's bright magenta eyes blinked for a second and then she burst out giggling waving her hand. "Villain speech? Oh dear me hahaha~!", Yoru replied confidently with humour as she slowly shook her head and then placed a hand on her hip.
Yoru continued with a new confident tone, "I suppose you could say I have something to say... And I'm not really here to fight you, sweetie... I'm here to take you in...".
Sora's eyes widened for a second, his jaw clenched tight. He unfolded his arms, crouched a bit and looked straight dead ahead with a fierce look. The man hid a hand behind his back which quietly erupted in flames behind him.
"Hey, kiddo!", Yoru yells loudly for Hikaru to hear behind her. She gently shrugged the overcoat off her shoulders, her hairs bouncing, the sleeves cascading down her arms and waist before she held it up with one arm and folded it gracefully with care. Yoru then looked back and smiled teasingly. She then tossed her overcoat towards Hikaru who almost fumbled and dropped it but at the last minute kept his balance. Yoru then grinned and continued saying,
"Hold my overcoat and uh don't drop it. It's branded. Costed me a few ten thousand yen-"
"DON'T IGNORE ME!"
Sora cut Yoru off, his voice booming throughout the cave. He instantly lunges towards Yoru, his hidden hand out and aimed directly towards Yoru's face. Just at the last second, Yoru's pupils slowly focused infront looking directly at Sora.
KA-BOOM!
Another fire explosion occurred abiet smaller this time which engulfed Sora in smoke and ash.
Sora coughed repeatedly, waving his hand in the smoke trying to clear the air around him. "Huh? What was that? I feel slower? What happened?", Sora thought as he turned back and got pissed off by the sight.
Yoru stood there, Hikaru held up by his jacket by her one hand. Yoru giggled before saying, "Oh wow~ I didn't know the legend of Sora was this disappointing ". Sora's eyebrows furrowed, his face contoured before he blitzed towards Yoru his fist aimed directly at her belly.
Yoru instantly threw Hikaru to the side before blocking Sora's punch in reply by using just her two hands on either side of his fist. "What?! What's this feeling?", Sora thought before Yoru grinned mischievously as she spun Sora mid air using his hand as a pivot.
"WOAH WOAH WOAH!", Sora yelled in shock as he got spun around on his own hand as axis. The world becoming a blur in his vision. Yoru immediately grabbed him by the kimono and stared down at him. Sora immediately retailiated by quickly placing his feet on her thighs and backflipping quickly. Yoru let go of Sora as she got amused from his agility.
"Truly remarkable, Mister Sora... Remarkable indeed!", Yoru commented eagerly with anticipation. Sora landed back on the ground and then used the gained momentum to dash right at Yoru with a roar. Yoru retaliated by grabbing both of his hands to which Sora responded by spinning around to throw her off. Yoru goes flying before Sora comes right above Yoru, his arms ready to smack Yoru down. His red eyes glowing brightly with renewed adrenaline.
Yoru crashed with her back down to the ground. But she didn't feel pain. She enjoyed this. She gave out a light chuckle as her body rebounded up. Sora got even more angry. His pupils threatening to explode. He came crashing down next to her before kicking her body away with hard force. The force of the kick exploded a small trail of rocks under Yoru's free falling body above the ground.
Sora came flying above Yoru, his eyes meeting hers in fury. As they travelled, though weirdly in the cave, Sora made the first move and tried grab her throat.
Right before he could make that move, Yoru held his hand again. "Oh no you don't!", Sora muttered as he used his other hand to create another fire for a point blank attack.
Yoru grabbed the cloth of his shoulder kimono before placing a hand on his chest which sent otherworldly shockwaves through his body. The feeling shook Sora to his soul. His pupils going up, threatening to whiten out. The Senzai output or any form of Senzai that was emnating from him suddenly jammed.
Yoru smirked before pushing more force of her palm at his chest throwing Sora backwards. Sora grimaced in pain before getting up, wiping the nosebleed that occurred from this mysterious attack.
"I felt this weird feeling again, but worse! What is this Art she's using... I don't think I even have my 1/10th of my power yet from all those years in ice!", Sora thought as he stared right back at Yoru. Suddenly a drowsiness went over Sora's body. "Woah... What's this sorcery-", Sora said slowly before falling face first into the floor.
Yoru sighed victoriously as she wiped the dust off her hands and asked Hikaru to give her overcoat back. "Well, that does it... What's your name, kiddo?", Yoru asks with a friendly smile on her face. Her eyes looking straight down at him whilst wearing her overcoat. Her height was definitely imposing even for a lady. Hikaru was 5'5". Yoru probably was far taller. Maybe 6'0" at exact.
"I-i'm Hikaru... Hikaru Shimo...", Hikaru replied nervously, his eyes darting away shyly. A small second micro expression broke through Yoru's demeanour: one where she seemed to remember something that she'd forgotten about.
"Shimo... You say? Hmm... Well, Hikaru-san, I'm Yoru, Director of the Peoples' Protection Agency (PPA) stationed at Tokyo, Japan!", Yoru said with overenthusiastic excitement, her hands waving out with enthusiasm. "A what now?", Hikaru asked with confusion. Yoru's smiled faltered to humiliation before she cleared her throat and calculatedly responded,
"Basically, the Agency fights eclipses! And, I had been clearly (liar) and definitely (no) observing (please stop) how you were clearing the eclipses from streets of the entire Tokyo Metropolis! Very dedicated indeed!", Yoru said impishly laughing at her own statement which just made Hikaru even more confused and possibly offended?
"UGH! Look! I had been notified there had been a case of high Senzai activity happening here so I thought it must've been the doing of a very powerful eclipse, but turns out it's a Senzai User... This Sora guy you see over there", Yoru said pointing at the fallen body of Sora. She then continued, "The legend about him is pretty long and I will explain it to you if ... You join the agency!".
Hikaru's jaw opened a bit in shock . "The Agency... Wasn't that the last thing Big Sis said before leaving... Maybe I should join this so called group... I'll be able to get stronger I suppose and meet new people", Hikaru thought deeply before replying with a sure. "Good! Here take this contract," Yoru replied with excitement and pulled out a whole damn contract paper from her coat and a pen. Hikaru holds the pen and Yoru forces his hand to sign before she pulls it away and folds it tucking it back in her pocket.
"The pay is shit, the hours are worse, no guarantee and insurance for your health and trauma and remember! Death of any agent is not liable on the People's Protection Agency, the supervisor or any leader of the agency!", Yoru jumped in too much overenthusiastic excitement. Hikaru just looked confused, possibly violated of his rights, his expression blank.
Looking at the alarming red flags Hikaru just says internally, "I'm dead-"
