Despite how desperately strong Hibari was, he was still human and still fell on the ground, gasping for air when Hakkai finally opened his hands. His vision had nearly gone fuzzy and he wasn't quite aware of where he was at this point-he was being attacked but his memory was full of fog.

Hibari had collapsed on his side, but it still looked like he was getting himself ready for attack-in fact this isn't the first time something like this had happened to him. He had to be up, that guy could come and kick him while he was down-

But he was still wheezing, his vision coming back in peices. Hibari bit his lip, painfully, legs wobbling as he stood up to face Hakkai.
