Fudou's pov:
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! This all like the previous fight again. This time, even more bloody. Currently, I'm now face first into the floor all bloodied as me, Kikakujo and Rin all tried to stop Amou from getting to Y/n.
But it all failed as her auto counter kicked in as well as withstanding my magic bullet a ridiculous amount of times while that little white-haired brat with a katana just watched.
Fudou:"Damn it...I'm losing...again..." I said in my head as I move my head upwards.
There, I saw both Rin and Kikakujo all banged up and on the floor as I stare into Amou who looks down on me from the ground.
Amou:"Hmpth! The inferior brother gets in my way to him again? No matter what you do, Fudou Nomuru...Y/n will be mine." She announced.
Fudou:"Li-like hell that's ha-happening..." I retorted stuttering.
Amou:"Though I have to say, the changes that my Y/n did to all of you are really outstanding. To think you two would defend a boy like Fudou." She said to Rin and Kikakujo. "Well, time to repay you two for what you did to my Y/n back at the dorms." She said referring to the time Y/n was tortured downstairs of the girls dorms.
And so with that, she approaches the two. Now with 2 spear hands ready to thrust and pierce anybody she see's fit to kill.
???:"Onee-sama!" A familiar voice yelled.
The voice managed to get Amou's attention as she stops and looks to where it came from as well as I, only for us to see both NoNo and Choka without a wig, seemingly ready to take on Amou herself.
Rin:"O-Oi! What are you two doing here!?" She yelled.
NoNo:"Were to help you, Rin-sama!" She answered.
Mary:"Non! It's too dangerous! Get out of here!" She yelled at them.
Choka:"But if we do...then..." She said as they held on their weapons's handle.
It was obvious in plain sight as well as their body language...they were afraid. They were basically shaking in fear like geese in winter as Amou grew a smile.
Amou:"Hmm...you just gave me a brilliant idea." She happily said.
She then suddenly turned around and faced both Choka and NoNo as she begun to walk towards them slowly, making both of them even more scared.
Seeing this, I tried my best to stand up, by forcing my arms to push my body upwards to stand, but it was all futile as my injuries got in the way and made me plop back onto the concrete wall.
Rin:"Wa-wait! Amou!"
Mary:"Don't do it! Take us instead!" They both pleaded.
Their pleads were never heard as Amou continued as all I could do was watch, but to my surprise, the white-haired brat stepped in beside NoNo.
Amou:"Hoh? Do you intend to fight me, Tsukuyo Inaba?" She asked the kid.
Inaba:"....MizuNono...I have a question...are we friends?" She asked NoNo.
NoNo:"Heh!?"She said as she was caught off-guard. "U-ummm...ye-yes we are." She answered.

Hearing this, Inaba grew a happy smile as she confidently looks at Amou.
Inaba:"I see!" She shouted as she stood between Amou and NoNo. "As you all heard, we are officially friends. I will not tolerate anyone who dare lays a finger on her...even if it's you, Empress." She said as she takes a stand against Amou.
Fudou:'Wa-wait!..do-don't...' I said trying to stand up and stop them.
It was quite obvious. For someone of the girl's name Inaba to be able to hold a Katana that big with her small stature, it had to be made by something much lighter for it to be more than real metal.
If that was the case, Amou will win no matter what. So, I have to stand up and stand against her, unless Y/n arrives.
Inaba:'Ever since I've finally met that boy today...I've become bold today. We really must be friends!' She thought of Y/n with a smile.
Amou:"...He..Hehehe~Although it's much earlier than I planned, but who cares...Now, my karate...against your sword...which one is more superior." She said challenging Inaba.
Inaba:"Inaba that tone of your voice...your underestimating me more than you should...I'm dissappointed..." She said opening her eyes.
And so with that, Inaba and Amou take a stance as a Ice and suffocating atmosphere started surrounding Inaba as she was ready to release her technique...Unyou.
Inaba:"Thank you for listening. Time to lose, Empress." She said.
Amou:"Hmpth! Come at me." She responded.
And so, in a flash, Inaba dashes towards Amou and suddenly, striked her chest 3 times with her sword as she appears behind her, seemingly in just 1 to 1.50 seconds time frame.
Amou was visibly hurt as she was about to fall on her front and coughed up blood. This made everyone shocked as well as I. I didn't expect someone else would be able to go through Amou's defense, but it was still futile.
Inaba:"...*Coughx2*" She suddenly started coughing as a wound was revealed on the left side of her waist as well as her Katana...broken.
Amou:"If it had been a real sword...a sharpened blade perhaps, I don't know how things would have turned out." She admitted as she held on the katana's sliced off tip. "But what is this? It's so light and weak. Obviously a fake and cheap katana made out of Zinc Alloy...This is mearly a childs toy." She said breaking the tip with a squeeze.
After that, she looks back at Inaba again as she smirks.
Amou:"Swordsmen have it so difficult. They can't fight without a weapon." She said.
And with that, she dashes towards Inaba again with a spearhand ready to pierce her.
Fudo:"Wait! Am-"
???:"AMOU!!" A familiar voice yelled out.
And so, as Amou was about to finger Ina-I mean...stab Inaba with her spearhand. Someone pulls her back away as fists with knuckleduster on them collided with Amou's stopping her attack...It was Y/n and he was mad.
Seeing him hear, made Amou smile with a crazy expression filled with lust, admiration and many more crazily obsessed feelings she felt for my little brother.

Amou:"It's you...My one and only!" She announced.
But she was not heard, as Y/n throws a punch at Amou's face which made her stumble back, surprising everyone except me.
Fudou:"Y/n...be careful.." I said as I began to black out from exhaustion.
Y/n's pov:
This is it, my rematch with Amou. This time without. I managed to land a hit on her face as she stumbled a bit but she managed to counter with a spearhand to my stomach.
Seeing this, I jump back as I feel the pain of my stomach being pierced through...but I've felt much worse than this. This is mearly a cake walk if you compare it to the pain I felt as I was a kid.
As I back away, Amou just stood there...looking at her bloodied fingertips that was now laced with my blood and then looked back at me.
Amou:"Y/n..."
Y/n:"This is nothing!" I said as I stood up ready to fight again.
Hearing this Amou grew a smile on her face as she looked at me.
Amou:"That tone...that hatred...that's right. All of your focus should all be directed at me and only me! That's right! Focus on me only!" She happily shouted.
Hearing this, I immediately dash towards her as I send a flurry of punches and kicks as she blocks and parries all of them as well as me being able to block her auto counter.
Rin:"Y/n's able to block her auto-counter!" She shouted surprised.
Everyone was in shock at my prowess, but it didn't matter as I didn't hear it as I was focused with my fight with Amou.
Amou:"Don't listen to them! Focus on me only! It's only us in the school's grandest stage, Y/n!" She yelled as we exchange blows.
Y/n:"Shut up!" I yelled aa I threw a punch to her head.
She ofcourse blocks it, but it manages to bend her forearms, meaning my punches were able to go through her metal-like skin. Seeing this, she immediately grunted in pain and tried to strike me, but I managed to jump away.
Amou:"You just...how delightful! To be hurt by Y/n is a blessing of it's self! Hurt me more! Punish me! Be with me forever, Y/n!" She shouted.
Y/n:"Why are you so obessed with me!? What did I do to gain you!?" I finally asked her.
Amou:"What? What!? You...your strength, combative prowess, your shyness, your everything. Everything about you..I love it all! I've decided that you, the perfect fighter will be mine! It doesn't matter how I get you or what position I am of this relationship is, as long as you with me, by my side, I'd be willing to be beaten up by you! Be your bitch!" She announced.
Y/n:"Shut up! Shut up! I don't need you! I don't want to be with you!" I responded.
Amou:"Yes you do! Remember when we first met! After that, you were all over me! You stayed by my side until then! The spilt second when we were still friends!" She said making me remember the past.
Y/n:"Being friend-no, meeting you was a great mistake I did! I wish I never met you to begin with!" I yelled.
Hearing this, Amou's eyes lit up with shock, as she looks at me with a saddened and lit up eyes, as if she was ready to cry.
Amou:"If that's how you really feel, then..."
Amou:"...I'll kill you." She announced.
Hearing this, my body started shaking. In terms of strength she's superior to me, but in speed, I take it. Look's like I'll have to rely on quick and accurate attacks.
Y/n:'This is it...I can't back out. If I do, everyone present here are gonna die.' I said to myself.
Normal attacks without my full strength are useless against Amou, and if I use my full strength from the get go, I'll tire out much faster than her.
Y/n:'Come on, Y/n Nomura! You wanted to fight her after all this time! Think! Think!' I said desperate for a solution to beat her without tiring out.
Rin:"Y/n! Don't lose faith!" Rin shouted gaining my attention. "Give it your all. If anybody can beat the empress, it's you!"
Mary:"Ouais! You can do it, Y/n your attacks will work on her. Were both a living proof of it!" She said as she puts up a fist to me. "Take her out, for us!" They cheerd for me.
Hearing this, I gain a huge morale boost as I see Inaba who was infront to protect them, was confused.
Y/n:"...There's your solution, Inaba-san." I said to her.
Inaba:"Pardon?"
Y/n:"You said you wanted to make friends right? Well, there you go. Friendship can't be obtained just by asking. It just happens." I said to her.
Hearing this made her even more confused, but ultimately she just smiles and accepts my answer.
After this, I look back at Amou who was even more pissed now as her frown was even more visible.
Amou:"...Why?...Why? Despite your superiority, you stick with them as if they are equal to you? Yet, you reject me, who is visibly on equal terms to you? Why?" She repeated.
This time I remain quiet as I take up a stance to fight Amou. This time it was a different stance from what I usually use.
Amou:"...Fine, if you won't answer, then I'll be taking you with me...by force." She said now determined to take me for herself.
This is it, with the two of us both determined to beat the other one to a pulp, nobody can stop us now. The rematch is now here.
