After a masterful series of thrusts and counter- attacks, Kunou suddenly gave a skillful upward blow which cracked Ukyou's spatula right out of her hand. The oversized cooking utensil arced highly into the air and embedded itself in the ground some distance away from the two combatants. "Did you really think that your feeble fighting skills could defeat my superior training and discipline?" Kunou said haughtily. "Well, sempai, I think that this round goes to you." Ukyou said with a slight smirk. "You can probably date Akane, if she doesn't kick you into the atmosphere-" Suddenly, Ukyou's spatula began glowing. All eyes went to the spatula as a dark glow enshrouded it, much like the broken mallet. It was a blinding glow, an indescribable blend of brilliance which wasn't brilliance, light that wasn't light, a glow which seemed to take in light rather than give it off. "What is happening?" Akane gasped. "What vile manner of treachery is this?" Kunou said, eyes narrowing at the darkness before him. He cast a glare at Ukyou. "What dark magic have you woven to keep the beautiful Akane Tendo from my grasp?" Akane and Ukyou face-faulted.
