CINNAMON

The Two Raga

Taps.. Taps..

Sinam walked excitedly on a still day this morning, while Deiki and his nine friends followed closely behind.

Sansiro hastened his pace to catch Sinam, “ even though I was getting bored, but you are still excited. ” he told Sinam.

Sinam turned to Sansiro, “ is not like you, Sansiro. ” he said.

“ seems like I lack rest. Last night's sleep felt so short. ” replied Sansiro lethargic.

“ I just found out a Sansiro can be tired. ” said Sinam.

“ hey, teacher Deiki, how long will we keep going.?! ” scream Harumi.

“ even though it has just started running, but I am very tired. ” continued Kaori.

Deiki turned to Harumi and Kaori, “ hang on a little more, soon also reach the village of Yama. ” he replied, he also looks exhausted.

“ huh, looks like I've heard that answer repeatedly. ” complained Harumi.

Sansiro turned to Harumi and Kaori, “ look at the two monkeys, they just keep complaining. ” he said a little hard then glanced at Sinam.

“ slow down your voice Sansiro, they will hear.! ” continued Sinam but his voice is louder than Sansiro.

“ what do you mean, ha.?! ” Kaori staring at Sansiro and Sinam.

“ and you think we didn't hear it.?! ” further Harumi looks angry.

Sinam looked at Harumi and Kaori, “ no, maybe you heard it wrong. ” he replied.

“ don't joke.. ” Harumi and Kaori approach Sinam and Sansiro with gripping expressions.

“ to.! ” Sansiro swallow.

Buucca.. Buaac..

“ Aaaakkhh..! ”

“ please..!! ”

a few moments later, there was a sound of people hitting someone, then followed by a shout.

“ we are sorry.! ” said Sinam and Sansiro with a swollen face here and there, both holding his head.

Deiki stared at the behavior of his student, “ was all-around. ” his inner sighed.

Saken looked at Sinam and the others, “ once noisy, they will remain noisy. ” mumbled slowly, but he smiled faintly.

★★★★★

Uhara and Abame landed, both turned their backs at a fairly close distance.

Degs..

Uhara flinched, “ why is this? my body feels stiff.! ” her inner self, she can't move her body.

Abame smiled as she glanced back, “ Two Touch Steps, succeed.! ” inner.

Taps..

the next second, Abame turned around and jumped towards Uhara while releasing a kick from behind.

Buaaq..

with a landslide, Abame's hard kick hit Uhara's back which immediately crashed far away.

Booom..

uhara's body hit the tree trunk that immediately fell, his body continued to crash.

Uhara still can't move, “ shit. ” her inner.

Buuaatk..

uhara's body was still not stopped from crashing, Abame followed and landed a kick that hit Uhara's face hard.

Braakk..

uhara's body hit the cliff-shaped ground, thick dust instantly clumped up and covered the place.

Abame stared at the clumping dust, his gaze looking flat.

Syutt..

moments later, the dust began to disappear, where it was seen Uhara still stuck to the wall of the ground, there was a little blood on his lips.

Uhara looked at Abame irritatedly, “ she was. completely different from the Abame teacher I knew. ” her inner self.

Abame looked at Uhara with a wicked smile, then tilted his head, “ how.? ” he asked.

Uhara confirmed the position, he looked at Abame seriously, on the other hand Abame walked slowly towards Uhara.

now, the distance between Uhara and Abame was only about three meters, both of them staring intently with their hair in the wind.

“ he can lock the movement of the opponent with just a few blows, that's obvious.The next one I have to be vigilant. ” inner Uhara seriously.

Grebe..

Uhara grasped the handle of her sword that was at the waist, she prepared to pull it.

Abame looked at Uhara with a smile, “ you are really a genius Uhara, but only once exposed to my style, but you already understand it. ” he said while glancing at Uhara's hand that was preparing to draw a sword.

Spring..

Buaaq..

Uhara drew his sword, but Abame kicked the end of the handle so that it went back in.

“ I won't let.! ” said Abame.

“ cih.! ” Uhara looks upset.

Blaac.. Buaac..

Uhara tried to draw his sword, but Abame continued to attack, finally Uhara raised the sword with its sheath to withstand Abame's blow.

“ so you already know my punch can make you unable to move, and you withstand my blow with your sword sheath, you are truly great Uhara.! ” shouted Abame while smiling.

Buaaq..

abame's hard kick was fixed on Uhara who immediately held back with a sword sheath, he held the sheath with both hands.

Sraak..

Uhara was pushed back, but he was still in a standing position, now the two were quite distant.

Uhara stared intently at Abame, “ the leader did not say that Abame's teacher was able to paralyze the opponent's movements, but. ” her inner, she was preparing to draw her sword, the reflection of sunlight that hit the sword looked so threatening.

Abame looked at Uhara with a smile, “ looks like you're getting serious. ” he said.

“ you are really strong teacher Abame, I am lucky to have been your student. ” said Uhara.

Abame turns expression flat, “ I am also proud to have been the teacher of a fighter like you, Uhara. You are willing to sacrifice yourself to be a killer for Yama. ” he said seriously, “ but still it's wrong. ” he continued.

“ regardless of right or wrong, that's all I can do as a human. ” replied Uhara flatly.

Spring..

Uhara dropped the sword sheath, then took a deep, long breath.

“ what will he do.?! ” Abame surprised.

Abame flinched, “ fast once.! ”

Zrachh..

Suddenly Uhara appeared and aimed a slash at high speed, Abame tried to hold back but still overwhelmed, his body slashed quite badly and bleeding.

Taps..

Uhara passed by Abame, now he was standing behind Abame far enough away, on his sword there was fresh blood.

Bukk..

Abame was still standing, yet he suddenly fell down, his body was covered in quite deep wounds and flowing fresh blood, he seemed to have died.

Uhara breathed a rough breath, “ finished. ” he said while glancing at Abame who was lying down, but he looked sad.

“ what makes you think this is over, Uhara.?! ” suddenly heard a screaming voice from above, the voice was not foreign.

Degs..

Uhara flinched instead of playing, her face looked frightened mixed with disbelief, then looked towards the origin of the voice.

“ teacher Abame.?! ” Uhara was surprised, there he saw Abame sitting on a tree branch, then Uhara glanced behind him, where Abame's body was still lying

Abame sits casually on a tree branch, she looks at Uhara with a smile, “ Your moves really turn off Uhara, I don't even see your movements. ” he said, “ but.. still you can't beat me. ” he continued.

Uhara looked seriously at Abame, “ she became two. ” her inner, Mikami Sato said when she last remembered back in her head, “ so, yes. ”

Taps..

abame's incision-filled body stood back up, his wound slowly healing, as he prepared to attack Uhara.

Uhara was surprised and looked back, “ what? he can still survive? and those wounds..?! ” he doesn't believe.

on the other hand, Abame who was sitting on a tree was seen closing her eyes, she did not move like she was fainting, but Uhara was not aware of that.

Taps..

at the same time, Abame who was in front of Uhara started attacking, he took out two swords, call him the first Abame.

Uhara prepared to welcome Abame's attack, she advanced with a sword in her grasp.

“ I don't know how he did it, I'll look for his weakness.! ” inner Uhara seriously.

Ctangs.. Ting..

the fight again began with a clash of slashes in the air, the sound of iron clashing broke the silence of the forest, sparks appearing in every swipe of the sword.

Zraash..

one chance, Uhara managed to levitate a slash that tore Abame's body in the front, blood splattered.

Buaac..

after that Uhara released a kick into Abame's stomach which immediately crashed, then hit the tree trunk, Abame sat there with his face down.

Uhara looked at the sitting Abame, “ did it work.? ” her inner self, she looks doubtful.

Wussh..

Uhara was surprised, she felt something move behind her.

Ctangs..

the next moment, the sound of swords clashed.

Sraak..

Uhara was pushed back with a sword-wielding hand, in front of him Abame stood holding the sword, this was Abame who was on top of the tree earlier, call it the second Abame.

Uhara stared flatly at Abame, “ how can you do it.? ” he asked.

Abame smiled, “ I named it with the Style Two Raga. ” he replied, “ I have two bodies and can heal quickly even though badly injured. ” he continued.

“ what.?! ” Uhara surprised, then turned to look first Abame who sat under the tree, his wound slowly healed again, “ damn.! ” inner.

Ctangs.. Cting..

the fight continued, this time Uhara faced a second Abame who used a sword, both of whom fought fiercely.

“ I underestimated teacher Abame, he who used to never use a weapon turned out to be very strong. ” Inner Uhara continued to fight, “ then Jurus Dua Raga, , plus he can make the opponent not move when hit by some of his blows. If it continues like this, I can-can.. ”

Ctangs.. Ting..

The fight still continued, Uhara faced the first and second Abame in turn, whenever one Abame was injured, then the other Abame would advance.

Traangs..

Uhara aimed a fierce slash at the first Abame to do the same, both clashing with swords and pushed back, both spaced back.

“ hosh.. ” Uhara looks exhausted, she's setting her breath.

“ how? now you know how strong I am. ” said the first Abame with a smile.

Uhara looked at the annoyed first Abame, then glanced at the second Abame who was lying down with the wound healed again, “ what is this? why did he attack in turn.?! ” inner.

“ You said your Measures are the Two Raga Steps, but why don't you attack me simultaneously.? ” ask Uhara.

“ is true I have two bodies, but still I have one soul. ” replied Abame, “ the answer is because I can't do it, but can I easily move my soul to whichever body I want. ”.

“ move soul.? ” Uhara surprised.

“ yes, I can switch souls at any time as I wish. and one more, when my soul to another body, my empty body will regenerate from the wounds of all your attacks. ” reply Abame.

Uhara surprised, “ so you mean, This move has no weaknesses. ” he said.

“ I know what you think, Uhara. You think looking for my weakness and hope to beat me. ” said Abame smiled thinly, “ but, the reality is not that easy, but, not always genius can defeat power. ” he continued.

Uhara looks serious, “ teacher Abame, you really are a very strong fighter, you even master a very unreasonable technique. ” he said.

“ there is only one weakness of my style, you must finish off my body attached to my soul. ” said Abame.

Uhara stunned, “ what do you mean? I've done it from the beginning. ” he said.

“ no, when your attack hit me I already moved my soul. ” replied Abame, “ already I said, I can move my soul very easily. ”

“ but, why did you tell me.? ” ask Uhara.

“ with your genius, sooner or later you will realize it, I just want to know what you can do after knowing it. Just assume I underestimated you. ” Abame smiles wickedly.

Uhara looks seriously staring at Abame, “ so, yes. ” she looks thinking hard.

Taps..

The first Abame jumped back to get away, leaving the second Abame still lying.

“ I know what you think, you intend to finish both my bodies with a short time.. ” said Abame, “ I will not let.! ”

“ cih.! ” Uhara look upset, “ I have to finish this immediately.! ” inner.

Taps..

Uhara chased after the first Abame at high speed, while the two leaped into the lush trees.

Ctangs.. Cting..

then the sound of swords came.
