Something to Do [Kira,IO,NK]

As Kira bypassed and hugged Laz  he was a little shocked at it at first. He would then slowly accept it and hug her back. Laz  would then think back to the last time he was hugged was when his parents had left on their adventure a few years back. A tear would then roll down his cheek as he would then release Kira. He would then pull his hat down over his face an wipe his tear away. "What was hug for?" He asked as he watched Kira make two shadow clones and send them off far away from them.

"Uhh Training sure I'll join I guess since I have nothing else to do." He said as he looked down in the snow. Picking up some and formed it into a snowball he would then toss it up in the air and catch it then throw it a few feet away. "So when are we going to start?"

SHe gave him an almost confused look as he asked his question. It didn't really make sense why anyone would ask such a rediculous thing, up until the point when she thought through it fully. Perhaps it wasn't a normal thing to hung outsiders. "I um....Well Hugs are always better then hand shakes aaannnndddd here we are. " She moved back once more to ensure there was adequate start distance between them, and as they spoke she prepared, sliding the bag off of her shoulder to toss it off to the side. She wouldn't need the items in it she was pretty sure, and the few she might were set at her belt or somewhere on her person just in case. The mask that generally hid her smile sat loosely around her neck, uneeded unless she got into a situation where she would require the ability to breathe under water. If it were needed it would take less then a second to slide up her face and activate, and as the item was important she wore it on her always. 

     She drew from her belt a large black mask that fit perfectly over her face. it would look incredibly similar to that of the anbu level ninja's attire, though it was not in the shape of an animal but instead that of a human. Across the center of her face, it's wings spanning out just above the glass covered eye holes was a bright blue raven painted to look incredibly real flapping across the empty space of the mask, razor sharp tallons threatening to rip the flesh from anything that challenged it. She knew she had the senbon also, one each nestled in the holes of her fish net shirt just above the wrist, though she didn't expact she would ever need to use them. 

      "We can start right now if you'd like. Use what ever techniques you would wish and let us get the rust out before we begin actually training. " 

    Meanwhile....

"is that all you've got?!" the first clone asked taunting it's counterpart. The other kira shadow clone shook the confusion and doubt from her mind and prepared for the next attack. This clone, just like herself was resilient and didn't know when to stop, though she had known that before the battle, and their skill was almost exactly the same so this could be problematic. She would allow the other clone to take the lead again, studying the subtle movements of her body for a sign, any sign, that the attack was coming. 

     The attacking clone as usual didn't dissappoint. The clone reached into it's bag, drawing a kunai quickly and then tossing it back into the open top of the messenger bag. THis wouldn't do, she thought to herself. With a terrifyingly horrific blood curdling scream the girl's main weapon, a domia scythe named sorrow of humanity formed quickly into existence. Before her a long glowing line of blue energy spinned and twirled around the air itself signalling the creation of the weapon and after a moment the scythe popped fully into existence, dropping into the attacking clone's arms. "Now...We start the fun"

(TWC 1833 ap= 151, 151, and 131)

Laz  watched as Kira tossed a big black bag to the side. What's in there, probably stuff that can really harm me or worse...." Laz  thoughts was all over the place. "I might just have to use the environment as an advantage. I don't want to be sent flying in a bush again." Getting in a fighting stance he normally does when he fights. Spreading his feet apart he would then raise one hand up to his face while the other arm would stay where his hand was just above his waist. Forming a fist in his right hand which was the one close to his face he would then leave the other hand that was close to his waist open. "Use whatever I got to win, I don't really have much but I can use that and other things." Laz  was thinking out loud but said it low enough to make it sound like he was mumbling. "Ok then guess we'll start now." He said as he dashed towards Kira.

"First things first I will see what skill she has compared to me since it will probably be a lot." He thought as he aimed a punch with his left hand at her gut. "First I test her speed" he thought as he punched at her with mostly speed and not a lot of strength. He would then aim another punch at her gut and would then jump and bring his knee up to hit her in the chin.

If any attacks would land would be great for Laz  but he wouldn't get any idea how to win. "Don't tire myself out and no need to get all stressy over it, Just stay calm and enjoy myself." Laz  thought as he would quickly spin around kira and preform a sweep kick. If it made contact or not wouldn't matter to him since he would just basically use it to get down low so he can grab some snow.

Scooping up the cold snow from the ground he would form it into a snowball and would jump back away from kira. Once he was one in a half meter away he would throw the perfect throw of the snowball. It was mostly aimed for a distraction for him to grab more snow and make more snowballs, two more to be exact. He would then rush forward again with the snowballs one in each hand. He then would be five feet away and throw one snowball at her face and jump above her throwing the other at her face. If all goes well he would land behind her.


[WC-437]

She watched him prepare, and while he set up to begin the fight she simply stood there, hands at her side waiting. She would take a stance if it was neccisary but assumed it not to be so. He ran towards her, his body almost seeming stop time to her powerful eyes. The subtle shift in his shoulders told her every bit of information he could possibly need and she shifted her body just enough at the very last second, seemingly miliseconds before his attack would land, to allow the attack to slide past her side. Just as his first attack went out the screech of sorrow could be heard, even from where they were, a horrifying scream like a maiden crying out with her last breath. The next shot missed once more as she turned her body to the side efforlessly, her hair shifting back and forth as she moved, her dodging resembling a beautiful dance to any who could actually see her movements, though unfortunately with a speed of seventy one and judging at a glance at his movement she expected he wouldn't be able to actually see her shifts and turns at all. 

     As he brought up a knee she turned her eyes downward. A single hand slid finally from her side in a horizontal arc paralell to the floor and as the two met she would simply push the attack out of the way meeting his force with just enough to stop the attack at a direction that naturally disrupted the movement. His body moved in short slow jerks like pages of a comic being shifted one by one, and as he dropped to the ground a smile slid across her lips. She spun backwards, kicking low with the heel of her foot just to catch his sweep, her heel meeting his ankle with just enough force to stop the attack and pin his leg lightly in place. As he jumped back she rushed forward, moving in a blur past the boy who's momentum was determined by a springing maneuver. She would stop just under a meter from where his trajectory suggested he would be landing, waiting the few moments before he touched down and as his feet would hit the ground she performed a back spinning hook kick aimed at the side of his head but stopped inches before impact, at her full speed but only ten strength. In time with when it would be precieved to hit another blood curdling scream would flow through the area easilly heard by all. 

    meanwhile. 

"IF you really insist I suppose. " She called out to the secondary weapon, hatred, and as it formed up another horrific scream filled the arena, timed with the end of kira's first attack. The sword formed a large line of blue energy in the clone's hand for mere moments before if came into being, it's long ten foot chain flowing down to the ground and then back up to the shield around her left wrist. 

    The scythe wielding clone took off at her full speed, brandishing the weapon horizontally to cut easilly through the air as she ran. once the two girls were in range she lifted the weapon up to strike down at an angle, aiming the strike to her her shoulder at the collar and with enough force to cleave her in half on the bias. The defending clone watched the attack and acted quickly. She ducked under the strike to shift to her right just missing the blade as it came down and kicking outward hard as the scthe came down beside her. the force of the attack threw the weapon away from her, the scythe weilding clone barelly being able to hold the long weapon in her grip as it was suddenly shoved away. She retaliated with a quick stab to the clone's chest where her left rib would be. 

(TWC 2484)

At the first punch he watched as kira dodge and he would hear a scream. "What is that..." he had said as he would thenvpunch again but watched as she dodge that one as well. Bringing his knee up to her chin was then a fail as she blocked it. Next was the swept kick which she also stopped with her heel. Jumping away Laz  would then just touch the ground as a kick went to his head and again a loud screeching noise was heard. This distracted him for only a mere second which is when he would get kicked in the head.

Being knocked back two meters he would hold his head. "That hurts... a lot!" He yelled. "Ok stop the whining Laz  you know it wouldn't be easy come on I should've figured I'd at least feel some pain." Laz  thought as he stepped closer. "Ok she is obviously faster than I am so I need to find a way to work around that.' Thinking to himself again he would run forward for another attack. Once he was a meter close to kira he would then use the clone technique. Doing the hand seals Ram , Snake, and Tiger would then two clones appear. Now running he would grab some snow as he sprinted towards kira. Forming a snowball he would then toss the snowball at kira using it mostly for a form of distraction.

Laz  would then switch place with the clones and aim a punch at Kira's side and then a snap kick to her stomach. He would punch at her again then again and would then use a roundhouse kick.

"Hm." It never ceased to amaze her how the younger generation of shinobi thought. It was a singular almost simplistic kind of thought that in theory within the safety of a class room could potentially work well but always fell short in practical aplication. With a short pulse of her chakra she activated the masks true power, the glass protecting her eyes shifting to only her sight. She saw the three coming towards her, one glowing a bright orange while the other two showed no indication to her thermal vision that they were alive at all. She'd connected with her attack, an unfortunate situation she could only assume was the product of her body still failing to react the way it had before the horrible illeness crushed through her body, his own decision to move into the attack in some way, or perhaps a combination of both. 

     SHe shifted her body to the side, simply turning her shoulders to make the target of his projectile attack smaller and allow the snowball to simply float past her harmlessly. When she looked back upon the two coming towards her, her gaze obviously set on where she had last seen the real Laz, she noticed the switch but made no motion to suggest she knew what he'd done. her eyes stayed trained on the fake clone he had swapped with, watching the orange glow in her peripheral vision as it came closer and closer. As he finally got in range she turned her body to set up against the fake clone, moving at the last second to lunge behind the real laz and through the fake image he'd set up and end up behind the boy, well out of reach of his combos. Her smile slid into sight again, not that he would see it from their current position of course, and the moment her lunge ended her leg shot out. 

She grounded herself on her right leg to send a string of side kicks towards the boy, one aimed at the back of his knee, one at the point where his hip met his left leg right at that joint, and then a third in the center of the back, each at her full speed but pulling the power back even more to only six. The strikes were meant to show him weaknesses not actually harm him of course, and she had noticed the subtle suggestion that she'd hit him too hard in their earlier encounter. 

     Meanwhile...

     The scythe wielding clone was in trouble. Not like 'uh oh I ate a cookie before dinner trouble'. This was more along the lines of threat of death with a single wrong move trouble. She felt her arm get flung away, releasing the weapon and calling it back into infinity where it had come from. As the blade came in she thanked the stars for her sight, and more so the ability to see the world as if it were in slow motion. She turned her body quickly, feeling the blade scrape barelly across her skin as it missed by less then a centimeter. She would pull back however. The attack would most likely draw another and in her position she wasn't exactly able to dodge again. Her body was twisted and contorted quite a bit in order to dodge the attack, a fact that the sword and shield wielding clone noted right away. She pulled the sword back from the girl's body only barelly, making sure to keep the razor sharp edge close enough that her opponent couldn't right her position without meeting metal. With this done she shifted the direction quickly, moving from a draw back to a quick thrust. This is where she would test the skill of her opponent. 

     The defending clone cursed as she saw the weapon stop it's draw back. She knew it would end that way but she clung to the small bit of hope that the other girl who shared her knowlege and memory would not think as she did. The black cloak flowed across her body the moment she saw the blade form up and the second the shadow began to exist it formed into a large shield like structure fanning out close to her abdomin. Her With her shadow shielding jutsu activated the scope of the battle had changed unfortunately. A fight of weaponry had finally shifted to an all out brawl of jutsu and skill.

Laz would take a moment to think as his attacks would miss after all he could've do. " Time for some other way of fighting....ugh let's go with....this" he thought as Kira would disappear from his view. before he had time to turn around it was already too late. He was kicked in the back of his knee which made him bend down a little then his hip which made him fall to his knees then his back which made him go face first into the cold snow. The attacks didn't stop him though as he would then turn around to lay on his back, he would then push his hands behind his head and place them on the ground and push off while extending his legs to kick Kira. if it had made contact he would then push off of her with his legs to jump back and land perfectly on his feet. if he missed he would then land on his feet and turn around with an uppercut which he had hoped it would hit.

He would then run and step up putting his right foot on kira stomach then turn his body to the right while he brung his left foot to her head. then landing he would walk back a few feet from her. "Stay calm and don't do anything dumb, keep attacking, watch for any type of opening, and have fun..." he thought of the words his father told him when he use to spar against him. " I got this..." he said as he would then rush forward throwing another punch at Kira's face then a drop kick directly at her chest to push her away. " I totaly got this...i think" he thought to himself

[WC 292]

He was resilient. She apreciated that. There was a good chance once his power was actuallized that he would be a strong ninja, something to be feared on the battle field. She watched his hands slide back, wondering to herself if he was honestly going to perform what she thought and as his back arched to rock into his momentum she was surprised to see he was in fact. The vault came towards her, and as he moved her direction she moved backards, her head disappearing from view as she bent backwards into a bridge. His body would float over hers as she bent her elbows in the maneuver just enough to ensure he missed and as his form ceased to occupy the space where she'd once been she followed suit to regain her position, her legs flowing over her head for a moment into a hand stand before falling back once more to the ground to right herself with her back turned to him. her head shifted slightly to follow his movements out of the corner of her eye, a cleam of black and blue the only thing visible to the boy. She would await his next move methodically, deciding the best way to counter his attack before ever turning to face him. 

    Meanwhile...

"You honestly want this fight? " She stood still, her breath flowing from her lips in labored movements, a deep sigh coming from her with each exhale followed by the sharp snake like sound of a short punctuated intake. Of course she didn't, she thought to herself, especially considering her position. If she used the shields that gave her opponent the tendrils and were she using the scythe's second unlock hatred instead of the large mid ranged weapon it would be less unfortunate. She wasn't. With the large weapon and only defensive capability with her jutsu she was in an incredibly bad place and the chances of turning this fight around to win or even stand on even footing wasn't close to the scope of things currently. 

    "Well....Not really, but I suppose I've started something that I cant back out from now?" She said, moving quickly backward in a couple long bounds to put a bit of distance between the two. They both set up once more, refreshing their stance and resetting their weapons into a neutral position. The shield slid back into her cloak which was ready for another chance to show itself in the event she needed protection. 

     "Well....Alright then. " The second clone's body also pulsed with her own chakra as the black cloak flowed across her body. It covered each from head to toe now, a jutsu that would make it incredibly hard to see them in the dead of night, though it was infact the middle of the day now. No. It's purpose as was seen only moments before was much more powerful with her skill in the shadows. The shadow around her feet formed a small circle beneath her, creating a base for her own shadow jutsu in the event she didn't need the cloak about her body. Behind her two long thin shadow sewing tendrils slid form the shadow at her feet to stare out at their opponent like a snake ready to strike. "Are you ready?"

     Of course she wasn't. This situation was aweful and she knew it, and yet here she was. She set the base of the scythe against the ground, tapping the left right and bottom buttons one after the other. she was met with a clicking sound followed by the 'shhink' of metal on metal. From the staff, which now set alone with the scythe blade hanging about two feet from the ground and the ball set at her feet, a panel opened. She slid the chain from the panel quickly before lifting the weapon up and slipping it across her shoulder like a back pack, the staff setting against her back. Her hands grasped the chain on either end, about ten feet worth of lee way set at her feet which jingled as she moved. In one hand she held the chained ball about a foot and a half from the weapon and in the other the scythe blade on a similar chain though it's length around two and a half feet. "Whenever you are I suppose.

Laz had moved and step back a little to catch his breath. " I'm so tired....." he said as he would run towards Kira aiming a left hook then a right hook. ".... so let's end this quickly" he said as he would then Jump just high enough to Kick Kira in the face. he would then then try to elbow her in the stomach to stun her and then he would do a leg takedown which he had hoped it would all work. If it didn't had worked out he would then grab her arm and then go behind her back putting her in a arm lock.

[WC 106]

As he jumped forward an almost evil idea popped into her head. She molded chakra to activate her mastered shadow imiatation jutsu which would take less then a second so slide between her legs and connect with the shadow of the airborn boy, the jutsu near impossible to counter thanks to his decision to leave the ground. If this worked she would take a step to the side, watching him fall to the ground without moving a muscle, her arms to her side and his being forced to match, however in the event it failed the moment she saw movement her arms would go outward defensively to block the kick, pushing as he would hit to throw his balance off, assumably sending him sprawling backwards. "If you're tired....We can stop for the day maybe train again later? " She noticed his movments become sluggish, even if slightly. He could hide the fatigue from most but her powerful eyes studied vast areas in a fraction of a second and took in every shift and twitch of his body. 

meanwhile. 

The two rushed forward, each loosing one of the powerful ranged weapons which clashed in mid air. Just as they both pulled an arm back to begin attacking again each recieved a message. 

    "Girls.....I belive Kira is done for the day. Go ahead and despawn. " With that their strikes moved forward, the great ball flashing out to meet the sword but seconds before the attacks would hit both clones simply disappeared, granting kira her full power back.
