	[b]H[/b]e could feel her stalking him. Even with the commotion around him, her footfalls were stark. Without looking up, he knew her blade was pointed towards him. He glared at the ground and felt his chakra recede from his eyes. 
	
	[b]I[/b]nstantly, he felt the action sap his energy even more. His breathing became more haggard as Tsukiko spoke. He saw her words as venom and could feel the bite with every insult she spoke to him. As she sheathed her blade, Daiki managed a mocking laughter, though his ribs ached with each breath. 

	[color=red] “[b]Y[/b]our reality isn't mines …”[/color] he growled, attempting to stand but misplacing his hand on his knee and instead slipping forwards. Before he could fall onto his face, he caught himself with wobbly arms.  

	[b]H[/b]e could hear his blood dripping into the pool beneath him. 

	[b]C[/b]ondemned to listening to her, Daiki staid there in his near-broken state. Occasionally, he found himself sympathizing with her. The Naito in him rebuked every word as nonsense but the part of him that was [i]him[/i]; that belonged to neither Naito or Uchiha, felt saddened. For a tiny moment, his eyes softened at the bloody floor. 

	[color=red] “[b]N[/b]ow who's inflated?”[/color] he mocked after her story. He found the strength to face her again, his lips fixed in a snarl. [color=red] “[b]D[/b]ammit! If you've been through it than why inflict the pain on others!?”[/color] he yelled, watching her dash towards him.

	[b]T[/b]he bulk of her knee smashed into his face and sent him onto his back. Blood poured down his nose and into the back of his throat, the taste and smell of iron was overwhelming. He hacked up globs of it until blood splattered his face and spilled from his lips. Instinct, drove him to face his opponent, defiance still burning in his eyes. 

	[b]H[/b]is wrist was met with a stomp. He gritted his teeth and held back the agony, instead he groaned and struggled until his chest had been treated the same. When she told him the reason why, Daiki's sympathy subsided and understanding took its place. She was giving back what was dished out to her. And she saw no other path.

	[color=red][i][b]I[/b]f all she know is this twisted version of the world the-then I'll have to use my pride and honor to show her another. If she wants me to stand than I will stand. If she dares me to fight … than dammit I'll fight! I won't lose to her or her ideals.[/i][/color] His first attempt was fruitless, his next the same. But through his will and desire, he pulled himself up onto his elbows. He used what strength he could muster to throw himself up, letting momentum do the rest. His hands fell into the pool of blood underneath him as he kept himself up; his skin had grown pale.

	[b]S[/b]lowly, he gained ground. When his arms hung limp and his legs were bent just to keep him standing, Daiki raised his low-lidded eyes onto Tsukiko and said. [color=red] “[b]C-[/b]Come … fight me. I'll show you another way to live.”[/color]
