The Martial Artist: J vs A

[Yoshie - Chan]

Setting:Forested Fields, Winds are strong but visibility of each other is still there, The ground is grass up to the knees and dirt which is loose.

Rules: No attacking, or prep the only thing allowed is introduction statements before the battle commences. Both combatants start in center of field 10 meters from each other.

The bounty was worthless, but nevertheless it needed collecting. With mechanical precision, Joker appeared after leaping from the edge of the forest tree's.

The day light illuminated the golden brown earth, which crumbled under his steps. The smell of morning dew and fresh air infiltrated his Mask. A beautiful day to collect on the killing of a fellow shinobi.

His steps, halted, causing the sounds of his presence to only be given in small almost inaudible intakes of air. There was no need to alert his enemy with his voice since being visible in this open area was enough.

The winds, signaled the coming warring which would spread across this area. This was all for the monetary reward, if not for that he would have not come to kill this "target".

Raven locks billowed in the wind as brilliantly blue oculars, that of which twinkled in the afternoon sun, peered outwards, gazing upon the foolhardy aggressor which meant to do the kunoichi harm. Ten meters spanned the distance between the two, although it wouldn't be enough to bar the violence that was to come. Both individuals came here for a fight, and it was apparent a fight was soon to ensue.

There wasn't a need for words between the two. Harm was wished upon, and that was the only indicator which was needed. The distance (10m) which spanned between them was small. The first thing was to actively assess the situation, so he could create a strong offense and defense. The abilities of this kunoichi, were not filled into his memory banks and as such was and unknown variable.

This was not a good thing to fight against the unknown, yet Joker was no fool. His chakra, vibrantly came to life modifying his (left) shoulder's structure. The modifications, sharpened and controlled the density, which caused his arm to go slack. The process was a hindrance, but would greatly help in his up close assessment of her. The bone pierced the skin, tearing the flesh and muscle pushing the joint (hilt) upwards.

The process to his opponent would look horrifyingly painful but not a bit of it was in fact. It was a natural process which didn't matter, yet outside strikes and hits still brought about pain towards him. With his (right) hand he gripped the bone, pulling it from the unforgiving socket showing all 31.75 centimeters (12.5 inches) of it's glory. The process was relatively quick allowing the kaguya to begin his assault. Moving in a zig-zag pattern, towards his open he hoped to be in range to strike a downward angled slash and left kick to her ankle in that step by step basis.

Hastily, the festivities would begin. A simple blink of the eyes would redden the kunoichi's pools of blue with blood, a crimson lense promptly replacing it.

San..

Clarity of thought was brought to Emiko, allowing her the insight to examine each and every move of her foe preemptively. She would catch sight of him pulling a foot long bone, which seemed to possess a pointed tip, from his shoulder. Obviously an instrument he would use to impale her. Additionally, such a unique technique was well-known throughout the shinobi world, the Kaguya were masters of taijutsu. She would have to keep her wits about her during this match.

As the man stood still and removed the bone from his shoulder, a kunai, hidden with the other in her sleeve, would slide down into Emiko's tight grasp promptly as the man began his zigzagged approach. Such movements would be hard to trace for an average shinobi, but with such gifted ocular prowess, it almost appeared as if the man was moving in slow motion. A powerful flick of the wrist sent the kunai hurdling towards the man's chest, aimed to hit him midstep about 8 meters away from where Emiko stood.

It would seem the Uchiha didn't assess the battlefield. The strong winds, washed over the area like it had always. Anything thrown or tossed would of course be hit by the strong current. Joker, watched the Uchiha's movements, his eyes weren't as powerful as hers but still strong enough to see her throwing of the kunai. This stopped his original plan of zig-zagging into a frontal assault, and instead decided to parry the floating object in question.

With a swift movement the bone blade was slide down before swiping the kunai away with a upward facing slash. This caused Joker to reassess his situation, he had heard of the Uchiha before but facing one was terribly different. The rumors of there stiff abilities to copy one's movements and actions with just a mere glance gained a chill up his spine. It was a chill he didn't understand, the reasoning behind it was lost but that was something to explain later.

Once again, he was on the prowl for for and advantageous position. Being stopped at this distance (8m) was behind his kill schedule. His body moved in long leaping jumps in a linear fashion until he was within (5m) his own striking distance. With a final leap he sailed into the air, lining up a kick towards her mid - section in and attempt to launch her backwards and skate on her body.

The wheels of Emiko's war machine chugged along, her plan very much in action. The kaguya reacted perfectly thus far to what Emiko was doing. The bone sword slapped the kunai from the air, as she had planned, causing him to revise his battle strategy. Rather than the rather cumbersome pattern of movement the man was using before, he had reverted to a frontal assualt. Foolish.

With the parrying of the kunai by the kaguya came the drawing of cold steel by Emiko in the form of an elegantly crafted katana, sharpened to kill and firmly grasped within her right hand. Crimson oculars would catch sight of the kaguya change of movements, predicting the leaping kick before it had even happened, allowing Emiko to quickly concoct a counterattack.

The Kaguya, now in the attempt to kick Emiko in the torso, would have his path of movements severely limited until he landed. A side step would be all it took to let the attack graze past Emiko, while simaltaneously, her sword bearing hand lined up for a swift cut to Kaguya's neck, aiming to sever his esophogaus. The combined force of Emiko's swing and his leap would make it quite easy to tear through the flesh. After striking, she would pivot on her right foot, redistributing her weight for a quick 180 degree spin.
