August 12, 2004. The clock struck two in the afternoon at the Tokugawa Martial Arts Training Center's main arena. A deadly silence rang throughout the arena, as all seven Yokai martial artists were bloodied, bruised, gashed, and eviscerated. Ayame and Shunran were prepared to beat Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta up and vice-versa. The silence broke when Sesshoumaru and Shuran continued to choke and strangle each other out. Inuyasha and Shunran charged at each other, as she gave him nerve strikes to his pecs and he countered them with a tracheal grip choke. Ayame, Ginta, and Hakkaku were giving each other shin kicks, elbow strikes, knee strikes, elbow slashes, overhand punches, jabs, and back fists. However, Ayame was far more excited to fight her husband, Inuyasha, while Shunran was just as excited to fight both of her husbands, Hakkaku and Ginta. Sesshoumaru and Shuran noticed the action occurring between the couple and the throuple respectively, just as the latter was crushing the former’s knees. However, Shuran let Sesshoumaru go to see what Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta were about to get themselves into with Ayame and Shunran.
Sesshoumaru said, “It appears that my dear brother and my darling sister-in-law are going to bash each other's brains out. Shall we continue our battle, Shuran?”
Shuran responded, “Yeah, and my little bros and my little sister-in-law are going to crush each other. To answer your question, Sesshoumaru, yes. I would love to!”
Sesshoumaru returned to his Mixed Martial Arts stance, while Shuran also returned to his Professional Wrestling stance. Once ready, Sesshoumaru and Shuran charged at each other. Shuran then proceeded to deliver Sesshoumaru one massive chokehold, thus making the latter counter the former’s attack with an armbar and vicious ground and pounds to his face.
Inuyasha positioned himself with his Pankration stance and chuckled, “Ready for a massive beatdown, babe? Because this is going to be better than sex once I crush you!”
Ayame readied herself with her Kyuk Too Ki stance and responded, “Yes, my dearest, it would be my pleasure to demolish you too and enjoy every single moment of it!”
Hakkaku prepared himself with his Muay Boran stance, “All right, sweetheart, my brother and I are ready to take you down!”
Ginta made himself ready with his Lethwei stance, “Yeah, honey bunch, and we are going to enjoy making you squirm!”
Shunran composed herself with her Shaolin Kung Fu stance, “Well, cutie pies, this is going to be such rapture seeing you submit!”
With all niceties being said, and with Sesshoumaru and Shuran still combating each other, Inuyasha and Ayame charged headfirst at each other as did Hakkaku and Ginta towards Shunran.
Inuyasha proceeded to go all out with his Superman punches, liver punches, rear-naked chokeholds, tracheal grip chokes, camel clutches, piledrivers, torture racks, jabs, uppercuts, cross punches, and hammer fists on Ayame, while Ayame countered most of Inuyasha’s attacks with her jabs, hooks, uppercuts, front punches, axe kicks, double uppercuts, spinning back kicks, roundhouse kicks, corkscrew kicks, and front kicks right onto Inuyasha’s entire body, thus finding pleasure in shattering each other from the inside and on the outside.
Meanwhile, Hakkaku and Ginta were unleashing their headbutts, elbow slashes, elbow strikes, knee strikes, knee bombs, overhand punches, clinches, shin kicks, and spinning kicks on Shunran, and Shunran was countering their attacks with her leopard blows, finger strikes, nerve strikes, spinning back fists, palm heel strikes, knife-hand strikes, flying double kicks, spear-hand strikes, foot sweeps, and leg wheels straight onto Hakkaku’s and Ginta’s whole bodies, thus giving each other excitement through the pain.
Inuyasha and Ayame duking it out with each other as well as both Hakkaku and Ginta whaling it on Shunran felt so much more exciting than making love, let alone having sex. It also felt a million times better than the many orgasms when Inuyasha and Ayame have been having sex and the several pleasurable moans Hakkaku and Ginta emit when making love with Shunran.
Sesshoumaru then broke free from Shuran’s grasp by giving him an elbow strike to the chest and a headbutt to his forehead and tackled Inuyasha, with Shuran also tackling Hakkaku and Ginta, and Ayame and Shunran also returning to face each other again. All seven martial artists were brutally bloodied, bruised, battered, and bashed, but they still had enough fight in them to let out one blood-curdling, decibel-breaking battle yell that sounded more like a lion or a tiger unleashing a terrifying roar.
Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha charged at each other with bone-damaging jabs to each other’s faces and straight onto their noses and mouths with blood gushing out of them like waterfalls.
Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta were locked in an incredibly devastating and nerve-damaging headbutt that saw them bleed a lot more.
Ayame and Shunran let loose with their destructive flying spinning back kicks to the cheeks, thus making blood spew from their mouths.
All seven martial artists were scattered throughout the ring. They stood up once again, let out loud heaves, and let out an even louder roar reminiscent of a Tyrannosaurus Rex combined with a chimaera, a dragon, a lion, a tiger, a gorilla, and a bear. Shuran then charged towards Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran with a massive body slam, thus leading to Sesshoumaru landing a front punch to Shuran's nose, Inuyasha delivering a double axe handle to Sesshoumaru's head, Hakkaku giving an elbow strike to Inuyasha's right eye, Ginta throwing a shin kick to Hakkaku's stomach, Ayame attacking with an uppercut to Ginta's chin, Shunran striking with a back fist to Ayame's jaw, and Ayame providing Shunran with a vicious liver punch in return. Even with every blow and strike all seven Yokai martial artists threw at each other and every bruise, wound, and gash that they acquired, they never surrendered.
Just as all seven Yokai martial artists were about to proceed to beat each other down, they all collapsed to the ground flat as pancakes wincing in pain from all the lethal blows they acquired, but they were laughing and smiling in delight. It was as if euphoria and pain entwined and made them come off a fighter’s high.
“That was the best sparring match we ever had.” Sesshoumaru huffed.
“I just love smashing and crushing all of you.” Shuran sighed.
“We definitely gave each other a run for our money.” Inuyasha panted.
“I hurt all over, but it still feels so good.” Hakkaku moaned.
“If I had it my way, I'd love to do it again and again.” Ginta suspired.
“You’re right, Inuyasha, this is better than sex.” Ayame gasped.
“Every part of my body is wounded, but I feel very happy.” Shunran huffed.
Inuyasha limped as he tried to sit erect, “Come on, everybody, let’s have a nice group hug.”
Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran all limped together to give each other one massive embrace. As soon as they embraced, they still felt the excruciating pain of their intense sparring session.
“OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!” All seven martial artists cried and groaned until they lay down flat again but emitted faint yet hearty chuckles.
“We should do this again tomorrow. I really enjoy sparring with every one of you. You guys are the greatest, and at least it is awesome that we can prove ourselves stronger than our opponents.” Inuyasha said.
“No doubt about it, brother dear. Sparring with you gives me great pleasure and makes me feel truly elated.” Sesshoumaru responded.
“Yeah, this is the best feeling ever.” Shuran beamed.
"Indeed." Hakkaku chimed in.
"Absolutely," Ginta added.
“Whatever you say, Captain Handsome.” Ayame sighed with euphoria to Inuyasha. “I really enjoyed myself.” Shunran giggled.
Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran laughed faintly, as they limped and trudged towards each other to lay their bruised, black-eyed, bloodied, and battered bodies to rest. Sesshoumaru and Shuran lay down together, Inuyasha and Ayame ended up cuddling with each other, and both Hakkaku and Ginta tenderly enveloped Shunran with their toned arms and legs. Despite their martial arts attires being tossed and torn, all the beatings and smatterings they acquired, all the wounds, gashes, bruises, and scrapes they obtained; and their bodies giving way from all the moves they threw, they had had an invigorating and exhilarating time. The most important thing was that they were able to revel in sparring together with all their hearts, minds, and souls. Nobody and nothing can ever stop their fighting spirits. For now, sleep and rest have become their reward for a brighter tomorrow.
