The demon breathed heavily as he struggled to keep himself steady. "How? . . . When?"
"Hmpf," Miyuki only smirked at his way. "Next time, you should probably open your eye instead of your damn mouth."

The battles of life might be tough, but...
/ Three weeks ago - The Night After Keiko's rescue... /
Miyuki walked through the long hall of the dojo.
But while doing so, she also admired the pictures on the walls. The many framed memories big and small, and left by the many amazing students of Mitamura's Dojo be old, or new.
Miyuki's feet paused when one framed picture caught her attention.
It was from last year when she went on her first-ever competition with the golden trio she trains with. She remembered how happy the boys looked with their golden medals, and how they were more than excited to include her in the victory image, despite her silver medal.
Miyuki sighed before her gaze diverted to the other picture to the left.
It was of the Master himself when he was her age, beaming with the golden medal with two girls by his side. The one with pink hair tried not to roll her eyes, but smiled, and the other in green belt showed off her silver medal while also wearing a ribbon choker-like necklace.
Huh... she doesn't look directly in the camera. With that, Miyuki walked till she reached the office door.

"Come in."
As Miyuki gently slid the door open, she was stunned to find two older women standing beside her mentor.
One woman wore vibrant red martial arts attire with a dark purple cap and wavy pink hair, while the other wore green martial arts-like clothing with her hair flowing down to her lower back and half of it styled in a bun.
However, when Miyuki lowered her gaze she saw the choker's design on the latter.
The girl in the picture.
Miyuki locked eyes with Mater Mitamura. "Is something wrong Master?"
