Unloading and new path

(lol sorry, I was actually about to post yesterday but i needed to check something first

Assuming the way the weapons are changed is the same as earlier, by throwing them small distances)

Hysterio decided to try fighting weird, since he had one weapon to her two. While she began running towards him, he shifted his grip to that of a single (right) hand holding the stick at the same angle as before, pointing 45 degrees to the left of the direction his body was facing, but parallel to the ground while holding it at about 1/3 of the way up from what was now the bottom of the staff, leaving most of half a meter of stick below his right hand and a meter extending out and slightly towards his opponent.  As Youta approached, he noticed she began moving her arms at around 2 meters away. Thinking she might be about to attack with both weapons at once, he began sweeping his own weapon out horizontally, his stick aimed to pass through the area about a foot above her hands, to block the anticipated attack, if unblocked and not avoided it would hit her in the torso. He carefully watched for any motions towards him with the kunai since it would be hard for him to notice if she threw something at such a short distance.

If Youta continued with her motion to switch the weapons, Hysterio would notice the objects leaving her hands, partway through his swing, and shift his horizontal attack vertically to be at the same height as the weapons, aiming to either knock them away to his right (her left) away from her completely, or at least force her to block so he could concentrate on the ninjato. If she was able to keep or regain control of her weapons he would shift to her side already holding a ninjato, making sure to try to maintain a distance of about 2 meters from her.

Mitako was so focused on the dragon, and anticipating it's next move, that it actually took him a second to realize he had just been pierced in the right shoulder by the kunai. When he looked down at it, some blood was trickling out, and it was lodged half way in. His right arm was rendered immobile, or at least partially as he could still move his fingers, and only barely lift his arm. Grasping the kunai with his left hand, he pulled it out, which was a mistake because now there was more blood. Yay blood! In this semi altered state of mind, anything seemed like a good idea.

He didn't know who threw it exactly, but that didn't matter. He charged both of them, aiming specifically for Hysterio. Unless stopped, he would recklessly swing the kunai, starting with one swing aimed at Hysterio's leg, then his arm, then his chest. The possibility of these actually connecting was very low, as the tailed beast cloak was beginning to take its toll on his stamina, causing his movements to be a bit sluggish. 

[Assuming Hysterio didn't hit the kunai out of the air. I kind just picked through his post for the key details.]

Though Youta's hands did not move much as she was switching the weapons, noticing the attack coming from Hysterio would make her change that. While both weapons were in the air, she would move her left hand to grab the ninjato as it was flying, taking a backward grip and sending it forward to parry Hysterio's cane. She would position it nearly horizontally just above her right hand that would catch the kunai and proceed to throw it, as was planned, unexpectedly landing a hit on Mitako. The ninjato parrying the cane would keep it from impacting and allow it to slide by and off to her left.

However, seeing Mitako come at Hysterio, Youta would step back and let them clash. Cael in the mean time would land and start making it was towards them.

Hysterio was blocked mid-swing by Youta. Darn, that did not work well. Her kunai though, flew out from her actions and when Hysterio glanced to the side to see where it went, he was surprised to see that it had taken Mitako by surprise. Stunned, he wathed as Mitako took the kunai and charged at Hysterio. Risking a brief glance at Youta, Hysterio was relieved to see she was pulling back away from him and Mitako. Speaking of which, Hysterio realized Mitako was not following Youta and was intent on trying to cut Hysterio up with the kunai. Uh oh. He turned, and adopted a fencing posture as his new opponent approached, his left side turned away from Mitako his right side facing towards Mitako and holding the stick at the same angle. His legs were both bent slightly, and as Mitako began the first of his wild swings, he swung his stick out to block it. “Looks like you agreed with my idea of a spar, huh?” Hysterio chuckled.

[I'll try to post soon. My email is being weird and not sending updates when you guys post.]

Though Mitako didn't realize it, Hysterio was able to move at a speed that Mitako couldn't even react to. At this point he had completely disregarded the dragon, his sole focus being Hysterio, whom he thought had thrown the kunai. A primal rage had taken over Mitako, and despite the fact that his main arm couldn't move, he continued throwing himself at Hysterio, to no avail. He would throw another sluggish slash at Hysterio's shoulder, swiping down across his chest. Another aimed across his stomach, and a final one toward his leg. In the all too likely event that these would miss, Mitako would attempt to use the sand below them to form a wall behind Hysterio, hopefully cutting off his route of escape, and then Mitako would attempt another series of slashes. 

[Sorry for the length.]

[Skip me for this round]

Mitako seemed to have literally gone crazy, he was attempting another swing with his left arm in a beserking rage. It seemed he did not even catch Hysterio’s pathetic attempt at a joke. Glancing at Youta, Hysterio said “Maybe someone needs a nap?” Neither Hysterio, or Mitako apparently, were fazed at all, as Mitako began a downward swing, seeming as if he was positively going for the kill. He moved slowly in Hysterio’s eyes, and he sidestepped to the right, bringing his stick around to the left, and Mitako’s right, aiming to push the boy away and keep him off balance by attacking him on the side he would have more trouble defending.

[I'mma apoligize. I didn't get an email that you had posted, Hysterio. I'll post in the morning.]

(that's ok, I figured you were busy so i did not think pming you would help much )
