A decent scratch or two was one thing, ten at once was something else entirely. Raidou only managed to choke off half his yelp when Tsume's claws sank into the backs of his hands and ripped off furrows of skin from wrists to knuckles--but he didn't let her go.
Until she did it again.
A shimmer of chakra beneath his skin stopped her from damaging something vital, but damn that still hurt. He released her--oddly gratified that she managed to catch herself with a slap of palms against the mat--and leapt away before her legs scythed around and cut him in half at the knees.
A quarter-second to regroup, and he was back as Tsume popped up to her feet--just in time to wrap an arm around her throat. |
