Serafina suddenly felt like she couldn't move, yet she did move. Her hands forcibly made her blades drop to the ground and she began to rise into the air. She passed a large red tail with black chitin on it. Soon she was face to face with the back of the one called Shojo. Shojo reached down and pulled her blade from his thigh and turned to face her. Least to say, Shojo was big. Standing over 12 feet tall with blazing red eyes. His appearance was ape like, but horned. He had a rather sinister smile on his face. He held her sword in his hand and was inspecting it. Serafina's body then spread itself out arms and legs wide. "This is a fine sword. Well crafted........if my hunch is correct, I would say this blade could kill nearly anything. Well almost anything.." Shojo then took the blade and threw it out of the arena into the ground. He then kicked the other sword on the ring floor onto he ground as well.
"You see, I know you can hear and see me now that your so heavily intoxicated. Only someone incredibly high or drunk could see me. Which is why you didn't see me last night, when I gave you that scar." He began to chuckle at his own words. He looked at her. "I don't know how an ignorant human like you figured out what I was, but Ive obviously underestimated you. The reason I chose you to fight, is because I saw your powers last night. To a lesser demon....well lets gve credit where credit is due, to near any demon here, you would be a formidable foe, except against me. You see, I'm a sea spirit, thus I can be harmed by being burned and my bloods power can only be activated by a demon flame.......not a human one. I'm sorry but the odds were stacked against you from the start. Still..." Shojo raised his hand out, then moved it down, causing whatever force holding Serafina to slam her down into the ring floor. She then raised back up and was then flung headlong into the arena wall.
She was pulled by the arena wall and then slammed into the grass floor of the arena.....and then again....and then again. "I'm still rather hesitant to get near you. Your obviously more intelligent than my reports suggested. Your flame yet might affect me, so I will waste no time. unfortunately, since you did not drink my bottle ad are human, I cannot kill you. Therefore." Serafina was slammed once again outside the ring, yet this time she remained there, pinned to the ground as if held there by the hand of fate.
Koto had been staring on in confusion ever since the match had started, as did most of the entire arena. "I don't know what's happening here folks, Serafina has been being slammed around the arena by some invisible foe. Young Juukei has assured me that it is his fellow teammate Shojo. Perhaps.....perhaps Shojo has the power to be invisible? This poor fiery headed lass seems to not be able to fight back! Due to Serafina being outside of the ring, I will now take a ten count. One! Two!-"
Shojo smirked at Serafina. [b]"Your probably wondering how I'm moving you around like a voodoo doll. The answer lies within you.....which is a cryptic way of saying, 'I can move your body because your intoxicated' pretty unfair I know. Can only be seen by the intoxicated, yet can control the intoxicated. Hilariously enough, I can't even die! I'm pretty much invincible, your lucky to be human though, I am forbidden to kill humans lest they drink from my bottle. So if one of your demon compatriots steps up....well, let's just say you'll appreciate being Human a lot more after seeing what I do to him." This time, he laughed outloud, though it seemed none but her could hear it.
"Nine........and Ten! The winner is Shojo!" Annpunced Koto. The Jumbotron in the arena upated itself, giving Team Kemonogatami a point.

Genji
Genji had been watching everything from the sidelines. Yes, everything, he could see Shojo perfectly well. For, Genji is ALWAYS intoxicated on Opium. He had heard everything Shojo had bragged about. For some reason......Shojo just pissed Genji off. He couldn't quite place it, but everything about the demon just angered him. That this creature was just born with all of these abilities, while people like Genji had to train there entire lives to gain any modicum of power. And perhaps the fact that he was flaunting it was what really pissed him off. Or maybe.......just maybe......seeing Serafina humiliated in front of a crowd by an opponent that doesn't even seem to be there would be an insult to a warrior of her calibur.
Or maybe he just felt like killing something.
Whatever the reason, he ashed his pipe, put it away and stepped into the ring.
"Alright folks! It looks like from Team Shirahama, Genji! And......since no one else is moving, from Team Kemonogatami, Shojo! Alright, let's try to make it bloody! Begin!"
