It was hard but I think am getting the hang of it. Of course open to any correction or adviceChapter 1 part 2
- have you stolen?
-Yes, all the year around using just the same shoes and socks, wears them out right?
-How frightening, you’re the child of a demon.
-That’s right that’s right.
-Don’t look this way; don’t look with those frightening eyes.
-Get out of here. Do you even intend to burn us to dead......?
".... chan, Satomi chan!"
A middle aged man with grayish hair was shaking Satomi´s shoulder. He was her partner in night watch.
"Ah, sorry. It’s time for my patrol"
Satomi stood up jumping from her chair. She seemed to be dozing while resting her head on her hand in the desk.
"No, not yet. You still have time to rest..... scratch that, here lie down and sleep a little, cover with the blanquet!"
"Ah what a relief. I thought I oversleep."
"What is it Satomi chan, lately you seem to be fatigued. Since I'm taking roll today I can let you sleep all you want"
"Oh no, I'm okay. Since I'm having nightmares, I'll take Gen-san's turn as well. Sleep instead of me please.
"Hey hey......"
The middle age guard made an amazed expression.
This man was instructed on martial arts by the superintendent of Asahikamikan karate doujo that Satomi went; thanks to this relation he introduced this part time job to her. Knowing of Satomi's circumstances, he tried to help her in various ways.
Satomi always expressed gratitude to him.
However, tonight she doesn’t want to rely too much on him. When sleeping nightmares of being an outcast cursed and scorned assault her so she decided to cut on the sleeping.
Because of the false accusation being wringle out till after the school, she has been having these dreams lately.
Because of this Satomi wakes off covered in sweet.
Satomi took up the MAGLITE from the man's hand.
"I'm going to make a round"
P36
"Understood, but latter try your best to sleep a little will ya."
Smiling and bowing her head to his considerate words, Satomi went out to the dark corridor.
She sense someone's presence, at the moment she approached the corner of the fifth floor office
Being not by the sharpened senses of Satomi this faint peculiarity that was sure to be overlooked.
She could even sense the breath of a stealthy mouse approaching.
It would be fine if its only an employee that forgot to report staying overtime, and fall asleep on the sofa but, It was undeniable for the now under the full moon's influenced Satomi, that this wasn’t simple a common regular person.
(Shii..... a sneaky thief? Why you chose the day I had work?)
It was of no use to think about it but she desired this were at least a common situation. This time if an intruder that might be carrying a sharp tool has entered she would be in a tight spot.
It might be impossible for her or the intruder to get out unhurt. Satomi was afraid of being in such a situation.
Pretending to be unaffected by this, Satomi approaches one desk in a nonchalant pace. She doesn’t turn the light to it on purpose.
Instead, she hit it with a fierce fighting spirit.
The computer on the desk, to attract the attention of whoever might be ensconced on the other side
As expected Satomi's sharpened intuition was not wrong.
Someone stood up at the same time the sound of the impact on the heavy object happened.
The body of the computer broke scattered as Satomi was attacked. It ended up as if it was exploded with a grenade.
"Ku--!"
This was something extraordinary being a close range just two meters. If it was someone else instead of Satomi, certainly he or she would have being deadly wounded.
A group of fragments came flying by the right side; she dared to turn in that direction.
She kicked up using the power of her body turning.
A swift round kicks.
Using de outside part of her right leg, she brushed of 2, 3 large fragments.
At the same time, she fended off a small fragment that she could not stop, receiving it with a karate cross.
In front of her face Satomi made a cross with her forearms, doing a firm letter X. That's called "juujiuke" a type/form of defense.
The glass from the monitor and small metal parts, made flow the blood of Satomi's arms and cheek.
In the middle of the small yet dreadful explosion, Satomi didn’t lost track of the black shadow that caused it.
She kicked a flying wreckage of the computer which at the same speed it ended up bounded to the office's wall.
And then, it bounced back.
38
From there furthermore, was flying to the wall behind of Satomi.
(Tri, triangle jump__ it can’t be!)
A triple or triangle jump is a legendary and difficult special technique in the world of karate.
A technique that inflicts an attack to a knocked down enemy in a confrontation, coming flying from totally different direction, for example kicking a wall and a tree.
An unworldly ability, an explosive power of all the body..... A superhuman surprise attack technique becoming possible for the first time by the sense of balance at the wild animals level.
That attacker went flying along Satomi's kicked fragment.
Not letting go the ideal moment, flying to the best blind spot.
If it wasn’t for the now effective in the dark, eyes of Satomi, that camouflage might not have been able to be seen through.
From a gap in the tightly build cross made with her arms she discovered a moving shadow in opposing direction the dangerous object hit, it was because her luck and practice, also the gift of strength given by the moon.
(A woman!)
Abundant hair was flowing in the head of the shadowy figure.
By the office's window it can be seen the moon round floating almost blue, that cold light made glitter that long and beautiful hair.
Flying side kick----
The ankle turned accurately, in the left "sokutou(the position of the attacking feet in karate)" comes to smash the neck of Satomi.
(A karateka.... not one of low level to boot.)
However, Yajima Satomi was also a top-notch Karateka.
She received with upper right part, jumping up to the miracle triangle jump's side kick.
Prove of the dreadful impact a strange sound was heard.
The sound of the crash of Satomi´s upper arm and the enemy's inner shin.
Flesh and flesh ---- wrapped inside the bone and the bone, the roar of a mutual exchange of energy.
bichi
gichi,
Like, it was a crude sound almost tearing the flesh.
One layer of skin of Satomi's neck was cut, the splendid sokutou of the enemy made it fly off and up...
One "keriwaza(feet attack technique)" and one "ukewaza(receiving/defense technique)" ended colliding in a flash against the backdrop of the big moon.
Anyone looking at this would forget that this is a small, pretty, modern office.
It was a beautiful attack and defense that could only be appreciated through photograph and film.
However, in that brief moment Satomi was assaulted by a dreadful question.
--- Who is this?
The enemy is now over her.
Gaining the upper position with all of her might didn’t weaken her stance, now it looks like she's going to strike down with the muscle of right leg.

From this side, the attack gives not time to distract.
(--What is the real identity of this enemy?)
As if she were tumbling back, Satomi dodge the killer falling stomp.
(--- I know it)
(---, No, it can’t be. It couldn’t be....)
Satomi hesitated at this unacceptable thought.
The flying fragment was rolling in circles at her back.
That vigorous kill failed, and standing up, an ambush was already set up.
The black shadow also lands on the floor, and it stares at Satomi.
Her whole body was firmly covered with a tight, leotard like outfit, the face of course, covered with a black mask. From the inside of hole for the eyes, she irradiated a dreadful fulgor.
The glare each other did not last one second.
"Who are you!? That technique is from the Asahigamikan school...!?"
Before she ended saying it, the enemy has attacked her again.
The knee floated faintly.
At the next moment, something swiftly came to Satomi's face.
The rival, before Satomi knew, made fly a wreckage of the computer laying at her feet armor, with a strong snap of her ankle.
42
Satomi received it in the forehead.
If only it hadn’t with the hand.
As the rival made the fragment fly with a kick, it was also the first step on a rush.
She had unbelievable dash strength.
The 3 meter distance was totally like nothing.
Satomi did not have time to use her legs to retreat.
It was certain to receive the lethal attack doing it at the same time.
Because already breakthrough to reach range for jab and straights.
(--this movements, there’s only one person who can move like this!)
Satomi was gnashing her teeth to the limit.
(--but why!?)
Just millimeters at the reach range for a hook.
The long haired rival accelerated furthermore from that. Inclines forward using the power of gravity.
(-- here it comes!)
Comes plunging putting the left shoulder in front.
A dangerous ramming that would surely blow you away several meters if you receive it. Maybe it would be like being in a passive stance and being throw to a concrete wall, I guess.
However, she cannot avoid it.
Her stance will surely be destroyed while she avoids, so there was no other way but take the advantage of attack there when they meet.
Satomi let her hip fall with a thud.
While dropping, advancing she left thrusts out elbow.
It wasn’t a way of hitting using centrifugal force pretending to be like a hook.
The clenched fist was like coming before the face, quickly the elbow send before hits.
Originally she pretended to force a technique into the opponents chest, otherwise should hit into the chin.
That was thrown at the rival’s weapon namely her shoulder.
While hollowing the flesh, it twisted delicately.
She was experimenting trying to distribute the twisting power of the rush in direction to body side.
Satomi suffered of a thunderstruck like pressure in her shoulder and her elbow used to hold back.
The enemy did not collapse at all. She had propulsive power level of a wild bull.
From Satomi's side the pushed out elbow was repelled, her stance seemingly collapsing
Satomi pours further power into gnashing her teeth. Lost even a little bit of concentration and pause, means being blown away immediately. The joint of the shoulder might come off.
--- The critical point is now.
A change happened in the rival's foreleg.
Forefeet, in other words the kneecap in this case, started to face to the outside from the front. The same with the tiptoe. The stance in the other party did not collapse.
44
On the contrary, she tries to draw out a further technique.
A swift dash, that speed was used for a violent body ram, next is a range technique---
(Here it comes....)
From Satomi's left side wind cutting sound is getting close.
Can’t see it.
Sound was the only indication.
It turned into a blind spot the blocking shoulder and the left arm she pulled out.
(---a roundhouse kick from upper part)
Satomi could and had to infer this succession of techniques, because she cannot read them
Taking the initiative on this superior enemy that seemed inhuman, right away she understood that this is not a human that can be read through.
(...just as I thought this technique is the "Idatensoku")
Satomi jumped to the rear.
The rival made a perfect use of the body blow’s power and kicked the floor like bending back herself.
As for avoiding, only this moment was impossible. Have she not saved the propulsive power of the body ram turning it into centrifugal force of a round kick, she would only cut the air at that moment.
Beating with a beheading stroke, the place where Satomi's head should have been.
That kick was at the exact angle to beat the neck.
Like a reversing swallow Satomi showed a wonderful back flip.
By the time the rival's kicking leg returned to the floor, Satomi had landed. Even if standing in one knee, from there she can regain superior stance (*or something like that?¿?¿*)
It was like winding a burning twister, the freezing situation and the relief of enduring the dreadful consecutive techniques.
Gyah-, and once again the thirst for blood was pressing.
At the same speed of the thirst for blood the long haired woman was closing.
"Stop...."
It was a right uppercut coming from below aiming to Satomi's chin, was just standing.
Satomi shouted.
"Stop it, Yukaaaa! Don't use that technique,..."
That outcry fall on deaf ears.
The enemy's technique had the power of a final blow.
The uppercut more and more from lower part, Satomi's left hand surged.
The arching left fist was at the heels of the right uppercut.
The arching fist hit in the part that became hard and rounded the wrist bend in a right angle.
Goo...................
46
Satomi's arching fist inner part; from that palm certain gain was born.
Because In the center of that little palm was produced a red thing about as bright as a firefly
That expanded thing that scratched the air is pursuing the pushing rival’s palm.
------Flame.
In the rival's angle bended elbow, to release an upper, its catch by the flames engulfed arching fist
In that moment, the mysterious crimson fire expanded plenty on that slender palm.
Before the uppercut could break Satomi's chin it changed its orbit.
The Arching fist pursuit that and sprung up.
The arching fist in the same state headed to the rival's face.
The enemy felt the rigor for the first time.
The arching fist coming from below was avoided by a swayback but Satomi's hand made change their collide there.
Using the snap of the wrist from the lower region like a whip, she free the fingers. Commonly referred to as "kasumi uchi ni chikatta."
Originally kasumiuchi is brush the eyes with the tip of the fingers and back part but, Satomi added scorching flame to it.
Being animal or human, every living creature has an instinctively technique to self protect.
This very flame was the ultimate ability, which Satomi sealed in her.
It was a fantastic “ken" that cursed her during the period of the full moon.
Moving from where it’s sealed to her right hand to attack.
The power of the left did not die in the rotation and in Satomi's right hand appeared the same.
Since it appeared in her right hand the fire seemed to add up even more, till it sink into the left tegatana.
While the fire was blowing it was like a spinning top.
The black clad woman avoids a certain dead but, her stance was destroyed by the scorching flame.
Twisting her body, under the mask she let out a moan.
From the flames burning her long hair, fall some flashy sparks.
While the rival jumps back disposes powder of fire, at that time the mask slips, the contours of the face can be peek a little.
"Looks like... Yuka...."
The fire of Satomi that reached the roof put in motion the fire alarm.
The alarm resounded to their ears.
The sprinklers started to release large quantity of water.
However it merely disturbed the enemy a little while.
Recovering her stance on the left part of the body her energy raised,
The fist of the right arm restarted its travel.
This time it as a range of more than 4m. Does it mean this enemy has a punch that can cross over and reach through this space........
(--It can’t be, she did the "Kikoudan"!?)
Satomi knew only one person who could do that.
48
However, before that technique was finished.
Between the two of them two long metal objects came piercing violently.
Those were edged things huge and black like "shuriken" with blades of easily more than 20cm.
Those were special weapons called "kunai" used by "Shinobi"(ninja.)
Surprised Satomi turned to the direction where the "kunai" were thrown.
There was yet another intruder. That slender figure was a woman like the formidable rival she was facing. Clad in black as expected. However, it was not the same black leotard; it was much more like the costume of a ninja.
"Who is!? .... A kuchoichi a ninja girl?"
In her heart Satomi, was ready to face death.
If this one joins the fight, she could not survive. Her faculties at full throttle and this floor turning into a sea of fire it was quite dubious that she could get home unhurt.
However, the enemy was equally surprised.
The Kunai was one at the feet of Satomi, and the other at the feet of the rival.
Arbitrarily it could have shoot through the tip toe of any of them. The serene Kunoichi standing in the moonlight could be ally of any of the rivals.
"Get out of my sight at once. I won’t have pity on this place's guard..... You’re just that (a guard), in case of an industrial spy I have a torture worse than dead."
The 'kunoichi' said pointing three 'kunai' to the long haired woman.
By act of reflex, Satomi started to chase after escaping woman.
But, the 'kunoichi' was also on that. The point of the 'kunai' declared its intention to head towards Satomi.
"Who are you?.... it's inevitable, I won’t let you getaway just like that."
But, that figure had already gone. The escaping woman let herself is seen once more, by the time she was on sight, suddenly disappeared.
From behind, up, possibly under the floor, from somewhere only a voice reached.
"Is OK if you want to chase her. If you catch her, or corner her, you and that woman are going to have it rough. ....... If that’s what you want that’s what you’re going to get. Fufu, fufufu(woman laugh in Japanese how do I translate it?).........."
Mixed up with the sprinkler's sound, that voice fades steadily, not before long it disappears.
Being showered by the sprinkler that doesn’t stop, Satomi received mainly two things from the voice.
Life is one.
The other, an unforgiving feeling towards her insubstiteble friend.
Just like the 'kunoichi' said, Satomi became frightened of catching up to that woman.
