Things Are Diffrent now

Ice clone one: he would see the wave comeing and looked just to the right behind kira, then he formed three hand signs and suddenly vanished, the waves would crash into nothing and the clone would be right at the spot he was looking at, just behind and to the right of kira, he would then watch the water prison form around her and he smirked, pulling out the kunai as he planned to do if this happened, and he would then walk up to her as the water prison jutsu got lowered, and he would place his kunai at the back of her neck and would speak "checkmate kira"

Ice Clone two: after he sensed the teleportaion he waited till then to drop the water prison jutsu, and he would grab his kunai and put it in his hand while he formed his hand signs around the kunai, he would come up out of the ground with his hand signs being held and he matched towards kira, in case she did somehting to get rid of clone one.

Real Ice: he would form his own set of hand signs and rose up out of the ground aswell, a smirk on his face as he looked at kira and asked her softly" am I getting better yet? I must let you know, you helped me with this shadow clone jutsu thing, very nifty" he chuckled and walked forward toawrds her, all three making a triangle as they walked ever slowly towards her being cautious.

She spun around the moment the clone's body disappeared, her eyes searching for him and any chance of him believing she was caught going quickly out the window. As she spotted him the water around her would drop, yorice having dropped the water prison jutsu. She saw the kunai in his hand as he walked towards her but waited just a moment. As he got within range she would finally activate her shadow sewing jutsu, and five tendrils of shadows would whip out from the ground at a blinding speed of one hundred, cutting off the first clone's movement with a shadow tendril pointed menacingly the direction of his throat, and as the other two rose up she caught the sight of the first out of the corner of her eye.

The delightful part would come when the clone that had risen from the ground dangerously close to her would, unless something drastic happened, find himself unable to move, the shadow of her scythe towering over her small form. The light above cast an enormous black shadow around the girl which extended much larger thanks to her huge weapon, and the moment she realized it was there she activated her shadow imitation jutsu, the shadows not even having to move thanks to it's close proximity. Unless otherwise acted upon the yorice that had risen from the ground directly beside or behind her would have no time to react as he was within her shadow, unless he acted in the split second it took her to notice the rippling water beneath her feet and the second clone out of the corner of her eyes and acted as it rose up, and would be caught the moment it's feet touched down upon the ground, the shadow imitation splitting to connect with her own shadow, though granting her movement, and being impossible to see since the connection was instantaneous also.

Not bad, she thought to herself. It wouldn't end the battle of course, but it was a fairly clever thing to do. The other four tendrils moved from around her body to an intercepting path, hanging in the air between herself and the other two yorice's ensuring they stopped their movement before they got into melee range if they werent already. If any of the three made a move the shadows would counter, her head turned and her body shifted back only slightly to ensure she could keep at least a little eye contact on each, with her head slowly shifting back and forth. She knew the jutsu could be used to make three clones but the problem was the stamina drain was immense if two clones were created. That, she thought would be her opponent's downfall. She prepared contingencies as the shadows around her would protect her. Her right hand once more grasped the snath of her scythe, preparing to strike in the event it was needed. The heavy metal spiked ball hung loosely in her off hand. It would take work to get it into the fight, she thought, but she could make due if she needed. If this went as planned only one of the clones would actually be within striking distance to the girl, and the shadow tendrils would ensure it stayed that way.

Finally she struck, The closest clone getting two tendrils shot towards him, one at his right thigh and the other his left shoulder. The two other enemies would each get a single powerful piercing tendril sent their way at the remarkable one hundred speed, with a piercing power of one hundred and twenty nine. The strikes were aimed at their chest, and she prepared a second jutsu to be quickly activated if something went awry. She was not exactly the leader in this dance, she thought to herself, but she was not yet ready to bow out yet either. She dropped the ball at her feet and it sunk into the wet earth kicking up a splash of water and offering an almost sickening squish sound as it hit the ground. She expected, unless something interupted this, that one of the clones at least would be completely imobile, and as she struck out with the tendrils a shadow imitation shadow would follow directly under each shadow sewing tendril, mimicing the natural shadow cast by the light against the shadow sewing tendril. when they were in range her striking jutsu would aim to prove just which one of the yorice's was the clone by tearing into each of their flesh, and as they dealt with that the shadow imitation would connect with their shadow, not noticable until the very last second.

Ice Clone One: When Kira shot her tendril at him he had just enough reaction time to duck to all fours, and then he would throw a kunai at her, and after the kunai got thrown he would poof away as he got cancled and summoned back to the original Ice.

Ice Clone Two: Just as he rose up out of the ground as he saw he couldnt move, so he was just stuck there, and then kira attacked with his shadow tendrils and this is where she messed up, as soon as they struck there was a poof of smoke and a rock from underground appeared where he was, as he was now falling down from above he would use leaf whirlwind and bring his leg down aiming for he head, if it landed he would then use her as a spring board and launch himself away from her and her tendrils

Real Ice: As He just rose he would appear stuck, but he head a plan, as soon as the kunai was released from the Clone one, he would recall it and its Action points back, as he then would use blink to a spot fifty meters to his right that was in his sight, just as the tendril went to attack he would disappear in the poof of smoke, teleporting out to the spot he could see, and after he appeared in that spot he reached in his pocket and pulled out five shuriken, and then he spun around and threw the shuriken in a fan style, making it hard to dodge to either side to try to dodge the clones attack and jumping up would make the clone hit her sooner, and if she just retreated, Ice would recall that clone and his remaining action points so that the shuriken wouldnt get interupted by him, they would continue to follow Kira till knocked out or after traveling a massive distance, this would buy ice time to formulate another plan

The three attacks were planned well. She would give him that, however his first mistake was in trying to engage her in taijutsu. As the Kunai flew she would allow her body to roll backwards into a back bend, her right leg catching the chain of her domia scythes mace ball and with the force if her movement, vaulting backwards at her full speed, the ball would be raised into the air for offensive use. This was the basis for amber's fighting style, an incredible combination of fluid almost capo uera style movements that allowed her feet and hands to be equally efficient in combat, and a style Kira had not yet actually seen the effects of.

What...is going on, she thought to herself, hearing a soft shh in her mind as the only answer she would get. The Kunai floated past her chest, it's intention to bury itself in her chest not quite meeting actualization, and as she continued to vault away the ball was released, it's weight increasing her momentum as it weight down the upward flow of her body allowing the gravity assisted downward movement to become more expedient. She had not cited the disappearance for a brief moment, and in that time not actually worried about the next placing. She knew, though she wasn't sure how she knew, that in the event he was within range she would simply stop her momentum, in a handstand if needed, and continue to defend herself until she was righted allowing the chance to dodge by dropping her arms and allowing her back to simply roll to the ground propelling her back to her feet but as she began her gymnastics she saw the boy above her.

She was thankful for her need to keep the weapon with her as first pushing against the earth with the weapon stabilized her maneuver and added an extra umph to increase the speed, and second a simply defensive just in case measure would prove vital. True if she hadn't released the weapon above her to strike into the clone attacking from the air she would have barely dodged the attack anyway, or at least the first strike , but out of luck and a need for conte genies she would ensure the boy falling downward would be taken care of thanks to the near impossibilty for an aerial target to change their position more then slightly and the point at which she aimed. The ball floated over and then forward with the intention of crashing horizontally into yorice's chest, ensuring that even if he turned it would still strike him though much to her dismay the clone disappeared in a puff of smoke. Two tendrils would raise from her shadow to join the other four, these wrapping around her scythe as she vaulted once, and then twice just to the left of the stone yorice had used for his substitution jutsu, and as the shuriken reached her her legs spread in the somersault just enough that the shuriken missed save for one which bounced it's tip across the plates of her armor, stopping it's momentum and causing it to fall into the mud and water below them with a light splash.

As soon as the second was over, her feet having kicked up mud and water the whole distance which seemed to cling in the air for a moment filling the lightly blowing wind with the scent of soil and rain, she would land, her feet suddenly planting as she came upright once more. The two shadow tendrils trailed just behind her, clutching the domia scythe awkwardly in it's wrapped tendrils, one near the blade and the other around a foot from the base where the chain left the metal staff. Calm analytic eyes searched for yori, finding him a fair distance away and she ran forward, reaching back for a moment to take the weapon from her shadows to get back into range of the boy, the long heavy chain ringing as it was drug along. Unless interupted once she got within nine meters she would stop quickly, her feet digging into the muddy ground below, and as her forward momentum stopped she shifted her hips, gripping the staff of the weapon to swing it around, and as she did the chain began to ring. With a shift of her hand her thumb hit the left most button on the weapon and the scythe blade became detached, and it flew towards her opponent on a course to Slice yorice in half, and as it flowed from the weapon the ball was brought into motion due to the chain retracting it. It would lift from the ground as the blade got near it's target to fly just over Kira's shoulder with around ten feet of slack and she reached up, letting the staff continue it's momentum to spin across her back as her right hand released it, catching the chain two feet past the ball after it floated above her and immediately beginning it's spinning motion.

Ice crouched down close to the ground as Kira finally noticed him and he smirked as she then began to come at him, he sunk down into the ground once again, Hiding mole tech, getting used just as Kira launched her first attack at him, and he learned his lesson, this time he would wait for her to do any movement she was going to do, after her movement, he would trace where she was and then would go to where she was, and if she didnt move from this spot yet he would use his full speed to reach up and grab her ankles and then start to drag her down, he would stop just before her head would go underground and then he would let her go and move away before she could move so that she was stuck there

SHe watched him disappear under the ground and sighed. Last time they fought he was at least willing to actually do something, and yet here they were with yorice slipping into the ground like a terrified rabbit into it's hole every five seconds. It was frusterating her....NO. it was pissing her the fuck off. "Yorice......I swear to god! grow some balls and fight me or this won't end well for you..." She closed her eyes, and as she did she stepped up onto the water, allowing her shadow imitation to drop and making it seem like her sewing was gone too. Molding her chakra she performed a single hand seal and as she did Her body became cloaked in shadows. SHe would wait, concentrating on the feeling of the four inches or so of water she was standing on using the water walking technique and studying the way it moved, keeping her body perfectly still so that the surface would eventually stop shifting to and fro beneath her.

(TWC 3970 AP= 180)

As she was standing still an the water it would be harder to track her, so ice traveled to the last spot she was at and as he got one meter in range the ground her feet got soft and with nine hand seals and used the water prison jutsu, the water moving at a speed of fifty like before, if she got caught he would attempt to pull her underground with the water prison, the water dispersing away as she got dragged into the ground, till she was up to her neck underground, her face still in the water, ice would let go of the water prison then and move away so that the ground hardened up near her feet, cause near her shoulders would already be hard as he was more then a meter away from them

Jutsu used-Water Prison Jutsu

"Tsk." She felt the rushing water move around her once more, a useless jutsu he should have known better then to try twice. With incredible force she moved through the prison jutsu, arcing the blade of her weapon downward toward where she knew his arm to be. With her strength the prison was less of a deterrent and more of a driving force, it's presence again on the battle field causing rage to fill her mind and her muscles to push harder. The scythe blade would strike the center point where his hand was, fueled by the sudden stillness in the center of the mass of water. The prison jutsu was good, but it's downside was the user's need to keep contact with it. The blade but into the wet earth slicing through it almost as if it weren't there with a speed of one hundred and ten and a sharpness of one hundred and thirty five. The strike, she was sure was enough to slice through pretty much anything and as the blade bit into the mud and water she curved it using the snath as a pivot point so that the attack would not come strait downward but instead curve in to hit a three foot shallow section beneath her around one foot under the ground, effectively cutting a large divot into the ground as it moved. The water prison passed over her body as it was sunk in, a cruel smile slipping past her lips. If he wanted her he would need to work quite a bit harder.

The black cloak of shadows swirled around her body, seeming to shift in a clockwise spiral as the dark energy prepared for something, though if her opponent were able to see it, they would not know exactly what. Two tendrils of shadow raised to turn to and fro about her feet for a moment before burrying themselves in the sand like earth below her, each just to the side of her feet. As they traveled through the earth they spread outward and down like snakes searching their tunnel for a tasty treat thst had unwittingly found itself in their lair. It would move at a speed of eighty due to resistence from the water and dirt, and a sharpness of one hundred and twenty four, cutting in spirals through the dirt below her searching for yorice.

(Twc 4367 ap= 179) screwed up on the math and subtracted 20 last post when cloak is only 10 4 the turn under shadow sewing and new jutsu used is cloak of shadows)

Ice would grab a kunai while he was underground and raised up out of the ground about ten meters away from Kira, he would form three hand signs around the kunai infront of her face, and then he bent his arms inwards, then he blinked and appeared right infront of Kira , the kunai was two inches away from her throat and he thrusts his kunai forward, aiming to stab her in the throat, as it was impossible to track his movements when he used blink, this would almost be unstopable for kira, ice would begin to shake afterwords seeing the blood drip down his kunai and into the water at their feet

Jutsu Used-Blink

Her weapon but beautifully into the ground, though it came back out clean, save for a few small bits of mud that dropped back down to the earth. She reset her stance, the tendrils still drilling through the earth in search of a target that wasn't there. As yori moved ten meters from her she drew the weapon  back up to its rest stance, angles across her body with the blade reaching over her head on the right side of her body, hanging a couple feet overhead. She felt the water beneath her shift and her eyes scanned the area for signs of the cause. She finally caught sight of the arm, though it offered her little help.

    The boy appeared directly in front of her, an incredibly short distance and before she could move to ease the distance he thrust forward, his in tensions clear. Bs he shifted her head backwards, and out of reflex the shadows answered her call, a tendril forming at her neck which made it look almost like a pencil pushing out from her skin, barely in time but thanks to its speed and ability to be called at will the tendril thrust forward. The tip of the Kunai slid against the pointed tip of the shadow tendril, neither causing damage to one another but the shadow tendril pushing the tip of the Kunai just enough that it barely missed her neck, continuing it's momentum slightly outward as the tendril's base few wider. The tip would move incredibly quickly, a speed of one hundred that would pierce directly through the boys throat as a reposte to his attempted death blow at terrifyingly close range. He would barely have time to think, the hope of molding chakra to save himself out of the question just as it had been for her but unfortunately his lack of duration on a jutsu to save him and further lack of a way to call anything he had instantaneously to the point of impact would prove fatal for him as the tendril sliced through his skin spilling blood into the water below.

    In the near impossible situation where he found a way out of the predicament the tendril would continue it's path most likely wrapping around his throat to strangle him before biting into his skin as intended and still offering her the desired results. As soon as she saw the the weapon graze against her jutsu the sinking terror in her chest released and she was able to think once more. As the tendril buried itself deep into yori's throat, killing him near instantly unless something else happened she would quickly use shadow imitation again. Anything that prevented him from dying the first go around would not be stopped as the shadow below them whipped out to trap him in her jutsu due to the instantaneous exchange of blows being too quick for even the use of a not already active jutsu not requiring hand seals to be activated, but in the event he found a way to survive in the single second it took for his strike to be shifted away and hers to close the distance then the shadow would catch him directly after, as the tendril looped it's way assumably around yori's head. It would hold him in place long enough to ensure the second go around would not miss bringing the chances of survival from a meager two percent to a fraction of one.

    As his body would go limp? The life's blood draining out quickly, she would breathe a sigh.
