[ Begin]

Treya walked calmly by Yuko. Although this was her first time she stayed calm and kept her usual composer. She glanced at Yuko, "hmm, he must be more experienced at this than me" she thought, "I'll just let him lead this time around." She stood in the area waiting for the match to begin.

( OOC: Hm.... This Battle can be at the Cliff Range, Overlooking the ocean. O how roman.... O wait, we are fighting here. O well, this is still a good setting. Let the battle begin.)

Yuko looked around and observed the surroundings. The waves below the cliffs sent a fridged mist up over the ledge. " Well, where are our opponents? Its sad that they didnt even show up!" Yuko said sarcastically. "Im sure they're gonna be here. I guess we should just sit her and wait." said Treya.
He walked up to the ledge and looked down to the rocks down below. The mist blew up into his face, sending a chill down his spine. It was invigurating, he sighed and walked back near treya.
Yuko began to cast Utsusemi:Ni, as 4 shadows surrounded him, engulfing his body.
"Hm, got that out of the way......." there was a pause for a sec. Suddenly Yuko shouted out " COME ON! GET YOU SORRY....... DOWN HERE!!!" his voice carried down throughout the area, the ground beneath them trembling. "Calm down you... they'll be here soon enough" treya said softly. So they waited........

( OOC: Sorry if this is kinda newbish, im a little rusty ^_^ XD)

(ooc: Watch your sig Yuko. And don't worry, I think all of us are out of practice. :B)

Rose jumped down from the branches of the tree a hundred feet from where her opponents were standing. Her sword, Dragontooth, was strapped segurely on her back, and her small dragon Caelum was on her shoulder.
"Haven't you ever heard of a dramatic entrance?" she called out. "But we can't start the fun until my partner gets here." Rose smiled coldly as she drew her sword.
<Caelum, go up to the tree until I need you,> she said to him.
<Aww, I wanna play too,> he replied.
<Just wait Caelum, I'll have some fun for you soon enough.>

Sahari teleported up from the ledge she had previously been occupying underneath a slight overhang of the cliff.
"The fun has arrived" she smirked, making her way to her partner's side. Her creamy jacket and light brown hair were flecked with sea foam from the moist position she had previously occupied. She glanced up into the trees, checking that Miko was still waiting. He was, and was currently occupying the same sturdy branch as the young dragon. She made a show of stretching, trying to keep a cool air about herself. Standing attentivly after a moment, she fingered the hilt of her blade restlessly.
"Well ladies...and gentleman........shall we?" she grinned.

"And so it begins," she nodded at Yuko, "See patience pays off," Treya grabbed her bow from her back, "first I must see my opponents strengths." She fired two arrows each directed for Sahari and Rose. She shot an inch away from her targets to see if they would try to dodge them. "

"Sahari? Wow, didnt think ide be fighting you first.... Guess i should take the threats out first" he said with aplomb ( selfconfidence, reassureing, for all of u that didnt know) He unshiethed his katanas and looked at the two of them, yuko began to cast Hojo:Ni on the two of them. (hojo lowers attack speed) A spider emblem appeared below sahari and rose, and a magical web erupted from the ground ready to consume the two of them............

((OOC: Yuko, where are these attacks in your RP profile (Utsusemi:Ni, Hojo:Ni)? I tried to research the effects and couldn't find them mentioned anywhere))

Sahari executed a series of backflips and drew her sword. She avoided the arrow and had retreated several yards from the web.
"That all you have for me Yuko? You fared so much better last time..." she said with a little shake of her head as she cupped her hand. Unleashing a few fireballs with her Fury's Light incantation, the young woman began sprinting to the right to flank her opponents and drew her second blade.

(oh sure just leave me with the admin <_< )

Treya, finding that Yuko and Sahari seemed to have some rivalry going on, decided to direct her attention to Rose. Rose had also avoided the arrow easily. "I see they are skilled enough, I suppose. I can't be to lenient." She disappeared and jumped lightly into the tree. While hoping the dragon and the bird wouldn't give away her position she began to charging her streaking fire bane attack.

(ooc: What's that supposed to mean Treya? XD)
Rose dodged to the side of the arrow and the web, pulling up her sword in front of her.
<Rose!> called Caelum. A quick view of Treya appeared in her mind, and Rose jumped up into the tree to meet her attacker.
"Ohayo!" she called, spinning her blade in Treya's direction. Her other hand moved over to her pant, ready to reach for another weapon.

Treya dodged away from the blade but it scimmed her cheek and put a small cut in her face. "blast that dragon" she muttered. "Hm, I thought it'd to that. Oh well new method." She grabbed her two swords and directed the small amount of energy the streaking fire bane had collected into them. The blades glowed a bright red as the power increased. She then turned to face Rose.

Rose pulled her arm up from her side, showing the gun in her hand.
"That's not very nice," said Rose, holding the gun up towards Treya's head. Still pointing, Rose jumped up and over Treya into the branch above her, slicing with her sword towards Treya as she went. Her finger stayed on the trigger, waiting for the moment to let it strike.

((grr...Ally wants a fight >.<))

The warrioress tried to trap her prey between the cliff-edge and her glinting blades. She darted forward with a yell and feigned a dodge left as she spun right. She struck at her foe once with her dagger and continued the motion to bring her sword around for a possible second hit to his abdomen or lower back. Without pausing to see if she struck true, she rolled back to avoid a counter from her noticibly larger enemy.
"Come and get me, big boy" she smirked, adopting a low defensive stance.

(hey don't get me wrong...lol I like dragons really I do.)

Treya shot two arrows at Sahari while she was caught off guard. Next she jumped behind Rose and used her swords to cut the trigger off Rose's gun. "Sorry but I never was a fan of guns."

Yuko looked down at the gash sahari had given him. " Ok little girl, my turn"
Yuko did a straight rush for sahari, sidestepped when he was in striking distance; he unleashed a uppercut slash to saharis right elbow/arm. He had ended up behind her when he did, so he put his left arm under hers and his right arm uder her right and up around the neck, pushing her head to her right shoulder; her right are was free, but he thought he was enough to her left side it wouldnt matter. " So sahari, how strong are you?" he whispered to her, as he spoke he lifted her up off her feet,
so she was choking. "lesse you get outta this girl"

(ooc: How can you cut off the trigger? The trigger is small...)

Rose threw up the gun before Treya could get to it, and sliced forward with her other blade, still behind her back. She caught the gun in midair and resheathed it.
"Not for this battle," she said, grinning. She whispered a quick spell, and her sword burst into flame. "Now it's time for the fun." Rose jumped onto the ground, her blade at the ready. "Let's play."

(another ooc: Due to the fact that I have midterms, this will be my last update till Saturday the 22nd. Ally can have full control of my character until I get back. Ja ne!)

(hm oh yeah didn't think of that. Sorry, swipe that)

"Play? Not my thing really." Treya jumped in front of Rose. (((I'm slacking I must keep focused. This will not be as simple as I thought))) She fired two arrows at her then put her bow away quickly and darted back in forth getting closer and closer. She hoped her speed would make her difficult to hit.

((Yuko...you never answered my friggin question =P. And Treya...how much back and forth can you do? You're in a tree, hon XD. Unless you moved to the ground, whereas then you'd need to mention that...))

Sahari winced as she heard the bones in her neck crack.
<How stupid of you> her voice rang calmly in his mind as she teleported herself behind him.
"Stregnth isn't everything, boy," the woman taunted, flinging two of her throwing knives at his back. She took a running leap over his head, slashing downwards with her katana and backing quickly away as she landed.
Putting on a look of mock concern, she asked sarcasticly "Awww, was I too fast for you?"



Rose easily blocked the arrows with her blade.
"No? You're no fun," she said with a smirk, slashing twice at her foe's ankles. She shifted her sword to a defensive position and beckoned with her other hand.

(When was I out of the tree? I just jumped in front of Rose. I read before and never said anything about being out of it...arg curse me unknowingness.)

(oh you already moved. Didn't notice...see below)

( OOC: sorry Shin, didnt look at the question, ill get back to it later ^_^
O and if u dont remember i still got Utsusemi on XD muahaha, its now in my prof. read up ^_^)

He stumbled forward a little and quickly turned around to block the two daggers, he didnt even notice that sahari had began her assault from the front. heh what a futile attemp, shes got to come back some ti...... oo shit..... he thought as he knocked the two blades away; he caught sahari in the corner of his eye.
Sahari landed two hits, but all she saw was a shadow image rise up and disappear. "what the.....?" she said softly. "Sorry babe, you saw my spells earlier. Oh well, now you've learned the hard way...." he said sarcastically. He spun around and readied a blade:ten technique, he grinned slightly. "too fast for you girl? heh" he said mockingly.......

He let out a right upperslash with the ground erupting up from under him with both rock and water, following the blade; when he landed the blow the wave swallowed sahari. His other blade began to glow a bright yellow hue as the elemental properties of it was kicking in; Sahari's earthen form fell to the ground when he flipped his blade so it was downwards and stapped it deep into the mass of rocks. The light element of his katana sent a shockwave through the mass and and made it explode with a massive light that filled the battlefield......

"How cute," Treya started to charge her fire bain attack again (mind you she doesn't have to concentrate that hard but it takes longer if she has to move). She once again shot some arrows at Rose then launched her Krepitai with the bow. She slid behind Rose grabbed her sword from the air and made a direct stab at her right arm.

Rose threw up her sword to block the arrows, and jumped away from the blade, not before getting a small cut in her arm.
"Bout time this got interesting," she said, licking the wound casually. "Now it's showtime." Rose turned towards Treya and started to rush at her with her non-maimed arm. She came down with a slice, and threw up her other arm, sending several throwing knives in the direction Treya was leaning towards.

Treya let out a quick breath of silent fear. She barely managed to deflect a few of the attacks but several cuts appeared on her body. Holding her Krepti up to block the donward slice, she then aimed her other sword for Rose's stomach.

Sahari was knoced aside by the force of the blast. She lay several yards away from her enemy, struggling for the breath that had been knocked from her lungs and fighting back the throbbing that had siezed her chest and abdomen.
"Sy....sy.....Sympathetic Heavens!" she spoke, smiling faintly as the thick fog rolled in from the water.
<Fog's coming> she mindspoke to her ally to warn her.
As the obscuring greyness covered her, she rolled to the side and began healing herself as best she could, planning her next attack.

As treya noticed the fog she summoned Hawk of mourning so it barely affected her. She continued to pursue her opponent without any hinderances from the fog.

(OOC: Does no one care anymore? WHY ARENT YOU PEOPLE RPING!? >.> plz continue, i want to rp in here T_T)
"Running isnt gonna save you sahari! Fog isnt gonna change your fate.... nothing will. Go ahead and accept defeat" Yuko declared with a boisterous voice. i have more than one trump card... he thought. He shiethed his katanas for the moment being and began to chant..... preparing to use his limitbreak....
