“Who are you?”

Rain gulped, not exactly sure what she was supposed to say to something like that. “Ah, ahm...just passing through?”

The short, blue-haired girl grabbed a spear from behind her back to bring to full view where Rain could see. That made Rain more tense. “Ahahahaha...shit?”

The girl pointed the spear directly at Rain. “You’re to come with me.”

“Why?” Rain asked plainly.

That was enough to get a reaction. More or less the wrong one. The girl quickly jabbed forward, attempting to skewer Rain in the process. She only met with minor success, nicking Rain on the shoulder as she dodge rolled off to side, feeling a pang of pain come from the near-death experience.

“Ah!” Rain winced, noting the cut she had when she got back up. ~She’s fast!~

This wasn’t going to be pretty.

“I’ll only say this once more. Come with me now,” the girl repeated.

Rain grimaced. “You know, that’s not a really nice way to address someone you know tha-whoa!”

She jumped back this time, missing another spear thrust by inches and moving towards the entrance crater that didn’t look too fun to drop in on with all the rocks below her and the jagged cliffs leading to the ground about a good fifty feet down.

~I have a feeling this means we can’t be friends...~ Rain thought, mildly complaining to herself about her left shoulder...

Which soon healed itself within a few seconds of her thinking that as a cool feeling went through her. It made her slightly dizzy considering it caught her off-guard. She looked at her shoulder briefly afterwards, noticing the mark was gone.

“You forget that we’re here, you know.” Yukina said, internally.

Rain dodged yet another thrust but this time took the option of delivering a vicious spin kick to the girl’s head when she passed her up, sending her sprawling to the ground, making not much more than a grunt upon hitting it.

~That’s all well and good, but...~

The girl got back up, briefly dusting herself off. Rain gaped, noticing that it barely did anything to her.

~...~

She then jumped, spear in hand and dive-bombed Rain’s position, who dodged out of the way, taking some excess debris with her on the girl’s warpath crash into the ground.

“Urgh!” Rain said, getting knocked back by the rocks that flew her way on impact.

~...how am I gonna...~

Her train of thought was interrupted as a few other sounds could be heard around a cliff edge on where they stood. More of them...swords.

~...fight all of these?!~
