Chapter 28 - Kisuke & Yoruichi (2/2)

'Kisuke-senpai too!?' Koneko was already speechless. 'Does that mean that he is holding back quite a lot at our sparring sessions?' She thought to herself tightening her small fists.

Kisuke and Yoruichi didn't say anything else and stared at each other. Yoruichi made the first move by charging in.

Yoruichi sent out a punch towards Kisuke face. He dodges it by shifting his head to the right and lashed out his leg at the same time.

Yoruichi jumped a bit and grabbed his leg using it to pivot her body sending out a kick of her own.

Kisuke dodges it by bending his body backward. He flips his own body aiming to kick Yoruichi's chin.

Yoruichi blocked it with her hands but was sent flying for a few meters.

Kisuke regained his footing and jumped back.

They stopped and looked at each other again, now with a smile.

Koneko didn't know what face she should show. Their exchange only lasted for a few seconds. Even though she can see the moves they made, there's no way for her to react to any of them.

They did mention that they were a bit good at fighting, but not this good!

”Done warming up?” Kisuke asked Yoruichi which finally draw out a reaction from Koneko, ”That's a warm-up!?”

The two ignored the distressed cat and continued their staring contest until they both disappeared.

Koneko thought that they teleported away, but she heard a sound of rock crushing. She looked to her left and saw a tall rock crumbling down sending loads of dust everywhere.

Yoruichi reappeared near the crushed earth and waved her hand releasing a wind-like pressure sending away the dust. When it cleared up, Koneko saw Kisuke laying down in the pothole.

”Senpai!? What happened!?” Koneko dashed towards his direction intending to help him.

Kisuke suddenly stood up and spat out some soil, ”Damn it, I let my guard down. You've improved Yoruichi.”

Koneko stopped on her tracks not knowing what to do.

”Of course. I can't get left behind.” Yoruichi is happy that seeing the results of her training were effective, ”Up for the round 3?”

”Bring it,” Kisuke replied disappearing again.

Yoruichi also used the flash step to chase after Kisuke.

Koneko can only see after images and feel the shockwaves of their clashes. It finally hit her after watching them for a few minutes, they were not using teleportation but only pure speed.

This realization only put more cracks on Koneko's crumbling common sense. She decided to stop thinking and just enjoy the show.
