( When the newbies were given their introductory speech, Kate had commented to Musashi that she felt there were a surprising number of battle capable additions to Tamamo's ranks this time around.

No one, she thinks, exemplifies that more than Shou. After their first bout โ€” she loses, grating but not unexpected โ€” she conscripts him as yet another sparring partner, finds the time between Mizukume errands to drag him to the training grounds within the compound and practice some more.

She's getting better. Each day, she's getting better. That Tanabata wish still holds its effect, pushing her strength and stamina a bit beyond what she'd be capable of otherwise. Allows her to hit a bit harder when her punches connect, or shift out of the way a little faster than she would before.

She skips out of reach of a kick and grins, the ache of where he'd connected before lessened by a small victory.

5/10โ€”. See me after class.

( And, clearly, she's not feeling the strain enough to stop sassing him between breaths, returning his attempted attack with a kick aimed at his side, twin plaits swinging behind her with the movement. )

( It's a mirror, almost. Kate's found herself holding more powers in the months since arriving, her own ability restored and improved through whatever magic the clan has to make these things happen. New gifts and the people to work with as she improves bringing her to a place where she no longer finds the thought of if I'd only come here next year invading her mind.

Next year would have meant one more year of suffering, one more shitty anniversary and Marc's hollow smile as he pretends everything's okay. His grades are still perfect, like always, so Kate doesn't need to worry. ...Like hell she doesn't. No one can read her brother better than she can.

No, she'd rather this extra work than allow him to continue obsessing over the answer to a question nobody has found. Besides, there's nothing better for clarity of mind than a situation like this, where all her focus is placed on Shou and his next move. Where she doesn't have time to think about anything but how she's going to get out of this lock and turn the tides.

And the answer is pretty easy: she won't. She'll take that momentum, same as she would work with it when parkouring, and prepare to hit the ground, tucking her head safely as she can to avoid injury. The moments of being airborne offering just enough time for her free heel to strike at his leg and hopefully pull him down with her.

All for one? Is that a Tamamo creed?

( There may be benefit in expecting to be backstabbed, Kate would never dissuade Shou of that. Not intentionally, anyway. But she's learning, too, that a space to breathe and trust that someone won't hurt you can exist. Where you can leave little pieces of yourself with someone, let them hold onto you, and believe they'll keep those things safe.

She hits the mat as his grip loosens, and it's just the opening she needs to hook her leg around his waist and pull him off balance.

That it happens to launch him forward and towards her is, well. Icing on the cake, really.

Fancy meetin' you here.

( Ugh, cringe. )

( He'll get there on the smiling, she thinks. She is. And isn't it kind of sad that being in hell has afforded her more reasons to feel like a person who smiles and has good moods than home did?

But that's not what she's here to think about right now. Shou starts crowding her in, and for a second, Kate regrets her choice. Eyes blow wide and her chest tightens, just for a moment, as old memories take over.

No. It's fine. She's not there any more. And Shou, she thinks, wouldn't hurt her. Not deliberately, anyway.

Still, she dodges his attempts to pin her down, hands wriggling away from his and finding the material of his shirt instead. She's stronger than she was when she arrived at Jigokucho, but Shou isn't a skinny twink like Shin, and rolling him off her in this position isn't going to be easy.

So it's time to play dirty.
)

You always gonna do what I say?

( She teases as she pulls him down, lips pressing against his cheek, her powers alight in an attempt to sharpen all of his senses just enough to be disorienting. )

( It's fine. She's fine. There are plenty of buffers now, experiences which put obstacles between those memories and herself.

Powers which give her an advantage most couldn't dream of - thanks for the help, Tenkohime. Amusement glitters in her eyes as the surprise takes him, the pink flush of exertion on her cheeks and the breathlessness of a hard fought round, her chest rising and falling against his.

He really is a handsome guy, the weight of him on top of her as intriguing as it is dizzying. It's nothing like Shin, who is so frail and light that she could and has picked him up before. But nor does she feel suffocated, trapped, and that makes it easier to raise her brows, lips quirking upwards as a hand slinks around the back of his neck, crashimg their lips together.

No powers this time, just Kate, using the last seconds of the kiss to try and flip him onto his back while he's (hopefully) still distracted.

( In the end, the joke of "Kate will have to send people to Shin so he can teach them what they're doing" was pre-empted by Tamamo's slutty, slutty existence. SMDH.

Taking advantages where you can find them is a sound, completely valid strategy, as far as Kate's concerned. It just so happened that this was the opening he left, and as momentum carries her up and over, Kate's fingers find Shou's shoulder, digging in to keep her balanced in the movement. But teeth graze her lip and that grasp falters โ€” briefly, but noticeably enough โ€” as her breath stutters and a noise catches in her throat.

That felt good. And it only encourages her to follow his mouth, lips parting as her hips settle over his and her other hand finds dark hair and curls into it.

This is a very different kind of warfare now. One that allows both parties to win.

( Ah.

That touch. It doesn't startle her the same way it might have a couple of months ago, though her cheek heats up under his fingers as their tongues meet, curious in their exploration. Her weight shifts in his lap, just a little, as she leans in further, seeking out unfamiliar parts of him with her hand and mouth.

Until he pulls back, and earns himself a little huff. A moment of frustration as something nice is taken away in place of a question that, really, only has one obvious answer.

She never was subtle about thinking he's hot.
)

Almost.

( In her fantasies, they're both wearing far less clothing. )

(From here!)

[Given that a significant part of him didn't expect this to work in the slightest, the sudden response comes as somewhat of a surprise, and Naito glances over to Shou with a tiny nod before straightening up. It's hard not to look at him when he's positioned like that... but it's time to focus!]


I wanted to learn more about the song you're singing! You seem like you're having fun, so I wanted to join in.

[He takes just a step forward, trying to focus on the birds rather than give away that Shou is lying in wait. Now to get them down...]

I can't fly up there, so could you come down here and teach it to me?

(From here!)

[A gesture like this would have been embarrassing as is, but Shou's touch is so genuine and caring that it only stirs up his confusion even more. The loss of contact makes him feel terribly empty, somehow... but before he can get any words out, Naito reflexively chases Shou's now vacant hand with his own, only pulling away a bit when he realizes what he's doing.]


No! No, that's not it...

[His fingers are undoubtedly trembling, but taking a shallow breath, he steps forward and gingerly tugs at a corner of Shou's sleeve.]

It isn't you. I promise.
