SAINTS (1x1 w/DarkMukip)

"A madman like him, if Akihime is dead then no one will question it if he gets a hold of her and inacts his revenge..." Sasuke replied, "Who would question him if he found a body to bury?"
"It makes sense..." Akihime muttered, "As much as I hate to say it.."
 
Yukimura clenched his fist and fell silent for a moment. “Then we know he’s looking for Akihime at least, and more than likely the both of us as well.” His brow set and he looked between Sasuke and Akihime. “Let’s use that to our advantage and lure him out, finish this off once and for all- and while we’re at it, get some answers from him on where he sent Amaya.”
 
Yukimura nodded, squeezing her hand. “If we don’t deal with him now, we’ll never see peace.”
 
Yukimura looked back to Sasuke. “We’ll need to start making a plan, start surveilling. Can we count on you for that?”
 
“Akihime and I will work on a plan of attack as well as mapping out possible routes and ideal contact zones. We’ll be capturing him alive.” Yukimura said.
 
Yukimura nodded. “Even if we have to break all his limbs.” He took a long drink of his coffee. “This won’t be an easy fight, even if he is alone.”
 
The next two weeks was spent planning and preparing for their confrontation with Matsunaga. Yukimura picked the spot where they would ambush him, a factory district that was crumbling and abandon on the outskirts of town. The day they set out the skies were dark with clouds, a cold wind blowing strongly.
 
Akihime had sent a note to Matsunaga, stating that she would take all the evidence of Matsunaga's torture and cruelty to ghouls and CCG agents to the leaders if the CCG if he didn't meet her - alone - to discuss important matters.
"I hope he really does come alone.." She muttered.
 
Yukimura was hiding in the building overlooking Akihime’s position on the ground below. All the windows had been broken out long ago, letting Yukimura hide completely out of sight and rely on his hearing alone. Sasuke was positioned on the opposite side of the street in a similar building, giving Akihime added backup. The plan was to draw out Matsunaga and engage together to subdue him. Yukimura came equipped with a quinque dagger and a mask that blocked the scent of blood, a precaution to keep him from losing control.
 
Akihime turned when she heard movement, frowning softly at the sight of Matsunaga.
"Rather coy of you, Otani-sousakan." He remarked disingenuously.
"You're alone, yes?" She asked nervously. He gave a nod.
"As requested."
 
Yukimura readied himself for Akihime’s signal, listening closely, holding his breath in anticipation.
 
"So, you say you're going to expose me?" Matsunaga asked, "All on your own?"
"My father will help me. Mitsunari, too. Once they see I'm ok, they'll-"
"Otani-tokutosousakan committed suicide shortly after your wake." Matsunaga cut her off coldly, and Akihime stood dumbfounded for several heartbeats.
"K...Killed...?" She muttered, and Matsunaga nodded slowly.
"He couldn't bear the grief of losing his only blood, and he was found hanging by his neck in his office." He told her, "Ishida-sousakan is the only inheritor."
"Th-That...That can't..." Akihime glanced away for just a second, and Matsunaga pulled his pistol from his jacket.
"Akihime!!" Sasuke yelled and fired a few of his shards, hitting Matsunaga in the arm and knocking his aim off so he missed his shot. Matsunaga hissed in paid, scowling deeply.
"I see. I knew this was no more than a trap."
 
Yukimura sprung forward from his hiding spot, jumping down onto the street between Akihime and Matsunaga. His kakugan flared, dark veins spreading down his cheeks as he brandished his blade. “Akihime!” He called her name firmly, eyes glued to Matsunaga. “Focus on the plan!” It hurt his heart to say it, but even with the advantage in numbers, Matsunaga was a dangerous foe. If they wanted to beat him once and for all, they would need all three of them to fight.
 
"Plan?" Matsunaga repeated, "How charming." He pulled the shards from his arm and threw them to the ground. Sasuke came out of his hiding spot as well and Matsunaga smirked.
"I suppose with both of you here, I can test my armor." He remarked.
 
“I’ll eat you along with your armor.” Yukimura snarled before springing forward, brandishing his knife.
 
Matsunaga fired a couple of rounds at Yukimura, dodging his swings before rolling out of the way of Sasuke's shards. Akihime took out her own pistol - Yukimura's revolver, of all things - and fired on Matsunaga when Yukimura wasn't in the line of fire.
 
Yukimura would do his best to fight without the use of his Kagune, knowing if he did he would risk losing control and outright killing everyone friend and foe alike. He planned to cripple Matsunaga, take an arm or a leg- easier said than done.
He dodged Matsunaga’s attacks, hot on his heels as to not let up, attacking with explosive speed.
 
Matsunaga did his absolute best to dodge Sasuke and Yukimura, as well as keep Akihime in his line of sight, but it was difficult even for him. Some shards dug into his shoulder and a bullet hit him in the chest, but there was no blood stains.
"How unfortunate. I rather liked this suit." He tutted before tossing off the jacket and pulling the shirt from his body. Underneath was an armored chest plate in the same dark color as Yukimura's kakuja, forged for Matsunaga's own nefarious needs.
 
It was disgusting to see his own flesh on Matsunaga. Bile pooled at the back of his throat and he flinched, but didn’t waver. He moved in close, slashing to cut Matsunaga’s foot in half, sparks coming from the blade scraping the ground.
 
Matsunaga jerked his foot back barely in time, the tip of his shoe coming off easily, before he moved to heel stomp Yukimura in the head.
"Dana!" Sasuke rushed forward and Akihime pulled back the hammer on the revolver, tracking Matsunaga as Sasuke rammed into him.
"Sasuke, move!" She yelled and he jumped back just as Akihime nailed Matsunaga in the chest.
