「RISE」(1×1 with Jikkah)

Megohime shot a glare at Masamune. “No, I think that’s a fine idea. Let’s try it, level five, after all, there’s plenty of time in this fake world, right?”
 
"Then let's go. Show me what you got, brat." Masamuje growled, taking out his sword. Kojurou sighed and took a few steps back to keep out of the way.
 
Megohime adjusted the skirt of her robe so she could move more freely in it, then crouched low to the ground before rushing at Masamune. She didn’t need a weapon to fight him, for she was already armed. She slammed a fist into the sword he held, hitting hard enough to make the reverberation roll back up through Masamune’s arm like he had struck a boulder.
 
He hissed and he dropped his weapon from the pain, which left him wide open to her. Kojurou pinched the bridge of his nose, maybe he should have joined with Motochika, or Jin or Yukimura. The Sword Hero of legend was a baffoon.
 
When he dropped his sword, Megohime swung a hard punch right to his gut, then grabbed his shirt and slammed him hard to the ground, but not hard enough to break anything.
 
He grunted, the wind slightly knocked out of him and he tried to catch his breathing.
"Very impressive, Megohime-dono.." Kojurou said gently.
 
“No, it really isn’t.” She straightened up and frowned down at Masamune. “If he can’t even deflect a blow with bare hands, then what will he do when he comes across someone with a sword of their own?”
 
"I made it to level five pretty ok." Masamune coughed. Kojurou sighed.
"Perhaps you would be alright with training him instead of him "beating on you"?" He asked her.
 
She pursed her lips and crossed her hands over her chest, looking to Kojurou. “I’m his slave... If he orders me so, I shall, but I can’t teach him how to wield a sword, as I’ve never held one before.”
 
"That's fine, you won't have to. Just help him level up enough." He requested. Masamune stood and coughed to clear his throat.
"Teach me unarmed then, for now. That should suffice."
 
Megohime let out a breath through her nose and nodded. “That’s fine, I’ll teach you what I can.” She agreed.
With Megohime teaching Masamune, it fell more into sparring than anything, since Masamune couldn’t fight without his sword, which was fine with Megohime since she had fought unarmed against an armed opponent before. She taught him dodges and maneuvers she had seen while fighting in the arena her previous master had her fight in, and while Masamune was improving quickly, Megohime still seemed to beat him each time.
“Again, get up.” She ordered, having just slammed him to the ground for the umpteenth time that day.
 
Kojurou was enjoying some herbal tea as he sat and spectated. Masamune huffed and grumbled.
"How are you such an insufferable brat?" He asked.
 
“Are you conceding?” She asked, staring down at him with her cold reptilian eyes, a faint frown on her face. “You haven’t even won once, and you still have time to complain?”
 
“Good, then put your sword to use and actually use it this time.” She said, crouching low again before charging him again, swinging at him with an open hand, claws at the ready.
 
She crouched low again and jumped up, aiming a kick for his chest, her face serious as she moved. “Focus!” She hissed.
 
Megohime brought her arms up to block his attacks, letting them slide right off her scales before smacking his blade with the back of her hand and moving forward to punch him hard in the face. “Again!”
 
Her eyes widened at the command, and when she tried to refuse and block, she received a nasty shock that brought her to her knees, clutching her chest.
 
Megohime just hit the ground with a thud, taking a moment before she could actually move. She gnashed her teeth and held her head where she was bleeding lightly from being hit in the head, sitting up and shooting a glare at Masamune. “Unless you plan on buying every being in this world as a slave, practicing that move won’t do you very good.” She growled out lowly, not amused by his stunt.
 
She wanted so badly to cut him down, to pummel him into the dirt, but her mark kept her from doing so. “And that’s why you’re no Hero.” She said before turning her back on him, moving away from him. “We’re done for today.”
