Training on the borders of Konoha

If Hika's grab worked then Maku would stand from his defensive position, and run towards the two men, he would then attempt to perform a stomp to Youka's face, while bringing his right hand down to crash into the back of Hika's head.  It would be in this way he would try to deal both men a devastating blow at the same time.  

Should Hika miss and Youka head towards him, then Maku would roll backwards onto his back, placing both hands behind his head palm down, while tightening his abs to bring his knees to his chest.  Once Youka was in range he would then attempt to push with both his legs and arms at the same time to land a kick with both feet at the same time to the man effectively pushing him back to Hika, and allowing Maku to leap to his feet.  Because of the trajectory of the move, should Youka be able to change his trajectory to dodge the kick then Maku would be open to a strike as he was pushing up to his feet.  If for some reason Youka chooses or is unable to hit him as he is leaping to his feet, then Maku would attempt to leap 4 meters to his left so he gets out of the middle of the two men

Hika had reacted fast enough to draw Youka's leg back in causing him to kiss the earth with his face. He really didn't like the position it put him in but he needed to right himself before the obvious opportunity attack came from either of them. Hika knowing what he was going for reacted slightly faster as he was on his back before Youka could roll over putting him in a hold stretching hos body in ways not ment to be moved.

If that wasn't enough Maku was now taking this opportunity to attack as well aiming a well placed foot for Youka's face. The only thing Youka could do from this position was move his head slightly out of the way. He still felt the foot slide down his face with extreme force it clipped his ear as well causing a rining noise to shoot into his brain. If he got up from this both of them would pay, but for now he had to hope that Maku's shop towards Hika would make him release the hold on his body. He couldn't hold out much longer on this move.

Thinking quickly, and not wanting Youka to take a kick to the face like that he released him and rolled while pushing him the other direction so as to avoid the kick and the punch. Standing he made a move on Maku dashing at him and once he got inside of his guard he would start with a flurry of light punches that would evolve into an onslaught of punches with kicks mixed in as he had done on Youka.

if this did not work well he would resort to plan b.

Maku had not planned on Hika giving up Youka so easily so as to avoid being hit.  It was because of this miscalculation, Maku was about to pay for it.  The first few blows where nothing more than rabbit punches and didn't hurt to much but the next one's began to sting.  Raising his arms in a makeshift guard, Maku was able to block his vital spots and mitigate most of the punches.  Bringing his left hand up to guard his face, he threw a right handed hay maker.  This was the kind of punch that either landed and would stop Hika in his tracks, or leave Maku open to take a lot of punishment.  Should his punch miss, his best hope would be for Youka to interfere.

Obviously Maku did not have the ability to do much else than to focus on Hika at this moment.  Should his punch land, then he would finish it off with a knee to Hika's midsection.  If that landed as well, he would shove Hika away with both hands and leap backwards, so as to separate himself and prepare himself for whatever Youka was up to

This was the break Youka needed as he had been graciously moved out of the way from having his face smashed in by a foot. He knew it was more so because Hika didn't want to get hit himself but he took it anyway. As he was pushed away and recovering Hika started pelting Maku with pepper blows increasing the intensity blow by blow.

This was enough time for Youka to catch his breath and re enter the spar by taking the opposite side of Maku. He began pelting him with blows as well watching Hika's patterns matching him blow for blow on Makus body. youka didn't care about the haymaker thrown, that was Hika's problem and he continued the assault on the backside of Makus body.

Stopping the fight abruptly, by placing his hand up in the air as a sign of saying it's over, He also used the mental speaking ability Hika had given them all to speak with them without moving his lips. "It's time to end this guys, we have to conserve our energy and we should rest and be at the gates just in case someone does show up". With him finishing what he said he would body flicker pack towards the gates knowing that the other two would of course follow. This would be a good day, it always was when the day started with a duel

The fight was over and it was time to head back to where they had come from. following Youka he would head back.

[EXIT. will post TWC later on. Youka is approved for his exit and stat gains.]

Maku was glad it was over. He could already feel the welts coming in on his body from Hika's last assault, but o well. He could feel himself getting stronger and the practice in taijutsu was well received. All there was now was to head back to the gate, and take on the next challenge.
