let's get together and "train" and train !

Kumiko glanced briefly to the newcomer, hoping he didn't plan on joining this conflict. Or if he did, that he would be on her side. She couldn't take two opponents right now. She could barely take the one she already had! When her gaze returned to Yuri, Kumi realized the other girl wasn't attacking. Had she decided the fight was over? No, she was still in a combat stance. "Damn..." she said, gritting her teeth against the pain in her ankle, "I can't do this for much longer."

Doing her best to ignore the pain in her ankle, Kumi began to advance toward Yuri. She kept her pace slow, knowing that wasting energy running would be useless, with the other girl's speed. She kept her arms raised in front of her, ready to defend herself if need be, but otherwise made no threatening moves. Hopefully, she could talk the other Shinobi into stopping the fight...

Xyxer notices that the conflict seemed to be over, his eyes running over the female that walked towards the other, wondering to himself, 'I wonder if it's a surprise attack.. It would make sense since she's hopelessly slower'. Xyxer nodded his head at his own thoughts before he quickly turned his eyesight to the female she was walking to. Watching this one for a while he'd observe her muscles, trying to judge if she was about to do a sudden leap. 'Well.. If I'm this far away I'll miss out on all the fun..' Xyxer thought, as he began to slowly take a few steps towards the duo. His feet would collect dust as he walked calmly, scanning the two carefully as he neared them. Stopping as he was about 3 meters away from the two of them, his lips curl backwards to expose his teeth, a wide grin on his face.

"Let's train!" Xyxer yelled, almost as if the two weren't training already. He'd watch the two of them again to see their reactions to what he said, his hand hovering over his back and in front of the sheath of his ninjato.

To keep maintain a defensive stance would count that chances are few and far between as one of the possibilities. Such things do happen now and then. But given the current tempo of the fight, Yuri intends to give Kumiko a change of targets as the newcomer brings himself to the stage. Yuri simply gave the signal for his readiness to move, seeing that he has the intention to improve himself as well. As for her, she had decided to give it a break for short while since unless otherwise happens. She walks a distance back hoping to become a spectator as the clean air refreshes her mood.

Kumiko's heart dropped. The boy did indeed wish to fight. Turning to face this new threat, she winced as a shoke of pain lanced through her ankle, forcing her to take a knee. She was relieved that the other girl was retreating for now, but she was not prepared for a fight when she had left Tengakure. All she had wanted was to go for a walk. At least this boy seemed to be younger, and probably weaker, than her. Still... She couldn't let her guard down.

Sudden determination forced Kumiko to stand up, ignoring the pain in her ankle, and resume her battle-ready stance. She might lose the fight, but she would do it with dignity. Closing her eyes for a brief moment, the girl funneled a large portion of chakra to her ankle, giving it support and relieving the pain. This wouldn't last forever, but it's the best she could do for now. Glaring at Xyxer, she waited for him to make his move.

Xyxer watched the speedy girl walk off for a rest, keeping a note on her position in case she decided to suddenly join in. He'd turn his gaze back towards the female he was supposed to fight against, carefully watching her. He'd watch Kumiko as she dropped down onto one knee, his lips curving upwards into a grin at this sign of weakness. It was clear, her leg was hurt... All he had to do was keep attacking her legs and then she would be unable to fight him, and he would be the victor!

Xyxer, with a small grin on his lips, decided he wouldn't need to use his weapon for this fight. Dropping his hands back to his side, he keeps his eyes focusing on the girl as he thought of a battle tactic. Nodding his head after a few moments of silent plotting, he moved his clenched left fist upwards slowly, his thumb protruding out as if he was giving her a thumbs up. Looking over the tip of his thumb, he'd be staring at the girl from behind it, much like an artist when he is drawing. The boy spoke with confidence, "I'm Xyxer!", a wide grin on his face as he announced himself; 'This should be quick' he thought. He'd almost instantly move his hands downwards and form them into the seal of the ram, performing the body flicker technique. His body would appear behind Kumiko's, his leg sweeping after the injured ankle of the girl swiftly.

Kumiko watched the younger boy's every movement. He lowered his hands, nodded his head, and gave a thumbs up. What was he thinking? "I'm Xyxer!" Really? Did he think she cared what his name was? She was fighting for her life, not trying to make friends. Then, his hands whipped down into the symbol of a jutsu.

"Wha--" Kumiko started to say, but was stopped short when Xyxer disappeared. "Where did-- Aahhh!!" The scream escaped her throat as more of a rasp as the boy's foot struck her already injured ankle. She did not fall or stumble, however. Her ankle was still supported by the flow of her chakra, though the recent blow had depleted most of her reserves. Not alowing her pain to cloud her judgment, she took action as quickly as her body would allow.

Kumiko pivoted to the left, raising her leg so that it would arc into a kick directed at Xyxer's face, while simultaneously bending down to grip his ankle with her hands. This feat of acrobatics was likely the last move she would be able to do before her chakra was drained completely, and she was unable to use her ankle for anything, and would promptly lose the fight.

A wide grin would cover the lips of Xyxer as he felt his foot strike home; the scream of agony that erupted from Kumiko just furthered his ambition for more pain. He'd watch the girl's ankle shortly after his foot connected to it, wondering how she hadn't fell down from the direct blow he had managed to land, 'Huh.. must be some kind of trick' he thought to himself, his mind quickly running over it, 'If I keep attacking it, it should run out though'. Xyxer quickly nodded his head to himself once more as he reinforced his own fighting plan. Rather amazed at how quickly he was able to devise it.

'She can take some damage.. I'll give her that' Xyxer thought, watching the body of Kumiko as she managed to twist around and send a foot arcing directly towards his head. Stunned by how she was still able to perform such dynamic moves, but he chuckled to himself as he lowered his head, narrowly avoiding the foot that was moving towards his head. 'That was a rookie movie, anybody could have dodged tha-!' Hairs suddenly stood up on the skin of Xyxer as he felt something grip onto his ankle(s).

As a spectator now, Yuri could deduce that the newcomer had his way of balancing the spar given the shape Kumiko is in. Introduction does not mean that much of an detail to her, but the weapon on his back does. As the fight goes on, Yuri saw the kind of pace that allowed him to get behind by vitalizing his body. It was very hazy in her memory for how it was done. But the next few seconds comes an interesting move made by Kumiko that stopped both of them in their moves. Yuri finds the tempo interesting enough for her to match up to him with a leg hurt even though she seems to be at her limit. This wasn't the time to watch and admire, but to observe and conclude how it came down to this.

Kumiko had fully expected her new opponent to dodge her kick. In fact she was hoping for it, as it had distracted the boy and allowed her leg to move into postion for the true attack. With a firm grip on the ankle of the leg Xyxer had used to perform his leg sweep, Kumiko let loose a roar of anger, pain, and fear. Every emotion she felt at this moment was evident in the scream.

The flow what remaining chakra Kumi had was shifted from her injured ankle to her knee, though it was not much. Just enough to give the next blow a little extra umph. After her leg sailed clear of Xyxer's head, she bent her leg and brought it down again, directing her knee to he very center of Xyxer's own extended and immobilized leg. Right for the knee. Kumiko put every ounce of strngth she could muster into the attack, hoping that, if it were to hit it's target, the boy's knee would be demolished. If this was to be the end of the fight, she would not allow herself to be cast aside like a training dummy without leaving a mark of her own.

Xyxer heard the roar of emotions burst from his female opponent, not seeming phased as he was used to people being injured. However, Xyxer would notice a sudden change in course in the leg that was previously arcing directly towards his head. His eyes would widen as he watched the leg and quickly determined it's true intentions. His body actions would immediately kick in, his forearms crossing as he moves it to try and deflect the blow from his knee, knowing full well that if it landed he wouldn't be able to run properly for a while.

If he succeeded in defending the blow, Xyxer would retreat a small distance from the female to watch her from far, trying to give his forearms sufficient time to recover with his chakra aiding it.
