Emiya stood inside the grated panel, a flawless fingers tracing the worn and rusted pattern of the Gates. These portals into an area on blood would open momentarily and spill forth himself and his opponent. Soon the call would come up, and they would be called into the arena, how deeply would he be outclassed today? He knew not.
His bottom line of today's mental summary was not yet written. He had no foolish expectations, or preconceptions of his ability to keep up with this particular opponent.
He wasn't even thinking about victory at this moment, he was wondering how to optimize the potential damage he would take.
Ah: and here came the signal to enter the arena.
As the portal plunged upwards, Emiya entered the arena, a breeze of a most convinced sort blew across the field. A ripple most ominous. As Emiya would walk towards his pre-designated starting point, he looked around the field, taking in his surroundings with a peaceful air. A thin façade against the present future.

Grimly, the Shikigami stood, a variety of weaponry upon his figure. Battle was his calling, a truly desperate, petty means of existence, yet, he foolishly defined his life by the blood he lost, the sweat dripping from his brow. Jiyuu wore the mask of the ANBU, tracings mockingly imitating a bear, but lacked the rest of the armor. With deep breaths he glanced upon his foe, grey eyes weary.

Emiya gazed around the battlefield, studiously ignoring the existence of his foe until the last second. When he finally turned his eyes to his opponent, a Shinobi with the advantage of the battlefield turned to look at his opponent.
Walking forward to perform the customary greeting of shaking digits and palm's would not have been a movement welcomed by much enthusiasm. So instead he would keep this short and brief. He typically didn't give an opponent a name, instead assigning them a degrading nickname, but in this case, it was a match of honour and respect. His lips forming in motion, he gave a jaunty two fingered salute in a mockery of respectful overtones.
"Emiya Royaru."
Plain and simple, no need to go into the details. And it would do as a fine starter. When people spoke, others did tend to listen, especially Shinobi, trained to memorize the names of Techniques and respond accordingly as they ran into them over there careers. Someone like his opponent for example, would hopefully fall into this category. If not, it didn't really matter.

As he spoke, his left hand fell into a evelope of cloth, and drew forth twin clouds of steel, each fashioned for a specific purpose. Each where gently dropped to the ground, where they would lie, resting. Their rounded hilts lying parallel to the ground, Emiya would quickly step forwards, chakra rushing to the base of his feet, connecting with the utilities.
While stepping forwards his hands clapped upwards, forming the momentary aspect of a zodiac animal, before vanishing.
A sphere of sensory awareness would extend around the boy, lashing out to the limit, prepared to alert him to pending movements.

”Jiyuu Tenrai” the man muttered, voice brooding and tone weary. The battle was between honorable men, but at its heart, the two still fought, their lives at stake. A frown passed upon his face, not due to a sudden understanding of the macabre reality, but simply because again he found himself in danger, death creeping in slowly.

The grizzled man reacted quickly upon espying his foe’s movements, paper fluttering forth from his body, a thick mass as the metal was drawn as he retreated backwards. By the time they plummeted onto the grounds, two of the sheets had already reached the area, wrapping around the kunai. The paper moved swiftly, thrice as fast as a man could run. Simultaneously with the movement of the paper, his hands danced, fingers moving most delicately to imbue the paper with a mystic property, exclusive to the Shinigami, seals completed within moments, as quickly as the paper wrapped around the kunai. With but a single additional seal, the paper erupted, two six meter explosions eager to tear into the foe’s flesh. As they exploded, one of the kunai, through the use of the paper, floated towards Emiya’s chest.

Okay, this is going to be rather experimental, so bare with me:
The Hand Seals for the Paper Explosion will take 1 second to complete.
The Paper will take 1.5 seconds to reach me.
As Katsu said, by the time the Kunai where on the ground the paper had already reached them.
My hand seals took one second. As I made the hand seals as soon as I dropped the Kunai, I suspect I would have finished them before he paper reached me. As Katsu didn't mention when he moved his paper, I'll assume he moved them towards the kunai as soon as they where drawn. The explosive Hand Seal would have taken an additional 0.5 secs to make. If my maths is correct, there is a pause of about 1 second before the actual explosion. Correct me if I am wrong.

^{Emiya frowned internally, his briefly created dome registered rupture far more premature then it's original intent. It was originally created for the potential possibility his opponent was a user of Taijutsu, and went at some point for a sneaky attack my moving faster then his eyes could track. Well this had been slightly similar, but overall more effective.
As the Paper wrapped around the Kunai attached to his feet, he cancelled the chakra flow keeping them attached, instead utilizing the single escape option available to him: his form translated itself into a blur, easily visible to the bared eye, but in the brutal explosion that followed his transcription to the fast lane of life(however momentary) his form was disguised by the sudden eruption of heat and light. Additionally due to the sudden movement, Emiya carefully shied away from the ascending Kunai, moving sideways, the momentum of the run allowing him to avoid the thrust before it could happen, the explosion then destroying the weapon. From a position roughly ten meters to the port side of his original position, Emiya emerged, a little scorched around the starboard side, smelling of smoke and gunpowder, and a fearsome grin plastered across his face. Rapidly forming hand seals, Emiya continued to move in a sideways fashion.}

Emiya reacted grandiosely, avoiding the fiery roar. As the explosion was quickly triggered, with but a single seal, Jiyuu followed into a second series of seals shortly after, fine manipulation of chakra allowing for the fine feat of multiple use of chakra, two tasks performed simultaneously, the second albeit slower. The dance of the fingers ended moments after the explosion, scarcely more than a second, to lead into the dance of the Paper Gods. But the Shikigami was no angel as his wings sprouted, a divine touch, nay, he was a fiend, fluttering into the skies to seal the fate of his foe. Still, every move of the paper, including the flight, was at ten meters per second.

And only moments after the wings grew, yet another scarcely passed second, he was already ten meters in the air. The flight was a not subtle distraction, leaving five sheets of paper on the ground. Emiya, upon completing his shunshin, appeared ten meters from the paper and approximately eighteen from Jiyuu. While he did not spot the foe instantaneously, due to the masking of the flicker, it did not take long from the elevated position. The seals reached full completion after he had risen to 12 meters, and the five sheets of paper crumbled, forming a miniature mocking imitation of grenades. Two of the grenades dashed towards Emiya directly, while one approached from an upward arc towards his head. One danced directly upward and the last floated sturdily..

The grenades were triggered in a certain sequence, the triggers approximately measured distance. Of the two that approached directly, the first was ordered to explode when within three meters, the second within seven, and the one from above within eight meters. All approached directly, their radii, as with the explosion earlier, a nine meter radius, each, eager to interrupt his forming seals.

As his momentary trip to the faster side of life ended, Emiya frowned as he observed the birth of an angel, because it was some people who got the best stuff, and others who had too make do with more mundane equipment. Now this was annoying. So annoying in fact that Emiya feared he might obtain a migraine with the current situation that presented itself it full offensive glory. Five more sheets of paper had been hurled towards him, travelling at the same pace as everything else did. So fast that clever thinking had no place in this battlefield, only instinctive reactions and blood-lust would keep you intact. The fact that his opponent had take to the air also added too his distress, it effectively removed him from more of his attacks. But Emiya did not come unprepared. His hands had already been going through the motions to obtain some more of the magic, the stuff of legends and dreams. That little girls swoon of and boy's dream. That was what Emiya and Jiyuu commanded at their whim.
As Emiya had been making hand seals from the jump, Jiyuu took a brief moment or a half to spot him, it was enough. Enough time for the hand seals to be completed and for their effects to take place. From within the gentleman's coat that adorned his slender frame, five shuriken ripped from their pouches, screaming blue murder hawked like eagles at the oncoming balls of paper. The Shuriken weren't positioned so as too stop the balls, but with the amount of force behind each of them, it would hopefully be enough to redirect one of the grenades into each other. This tactic was merely to buy time, as the outclassed Shinobi would scramble to the side, attempting to distance himself from any at all potential explosions. A task most grievous in it's nature. Indeed without it's execution, it could perhaps be fatal. As he scrambled once again to the starboard side, three slips of paper drifted from his torn wardrobe.
Moving at post haste, Emiya kept an eye on his air-borne foe, hands once again moving in a intricate pattern.

The shuriken struck true, sending the two grenades approaching directly tumbling into one another. The one from above was knocked from its path, veering towards the left. None of the grenades exploded, as it required a mental command to trigger, and such interruptions did not cause the fiery eruption. The grenades fell onto the grounds fifteen meters from Emiya, his maneuver a fine defense. Upon noting the distracting maneuver, immediately after, Jiyuu fluidly moved his hands into a new series of hand seals, their purpose far more subtle than the use of paper. By the time they initiated, Jiyuu had risen, now twenty-three meters from the foe, both flight and hand seals a flash, taking a single second.

Upon completion his foe would likely feel the subtle effects of the genjutsu, weakening legs, as if the muscles had atrophied, to make movement, especially rapid movement like evasion, fall difficult. Following the hand seals, his left hand slipped into the pouch as the right extended, sending a mass of paper at a downward angle towards Emiya. From the pouch the Shikigami pulled forth two objects, both grenades, pins pulled, one a light bomb and the other a kunai grenade. With a flick of the wrist the man threw them towards the descending mass of paper, two sheets, without any seals, wrapping around, their flight continuing towards the foe. The light grenade approached directly towards his face, to explode within ten meters, while the kunai grenade exploded from above, at nine meters. His eyes followed the foe, to allow the paper wrapped grenades to follow his path, to be erupted when within the approximated distance. Should the genjutsu have succeeded, evasion will be quite a bit more difficult.

^{As Emiya moved at a decent pace, he spied the continued performance of his opponents hand seals. But foolishly, he dismissed it. His entire planning was coming together now. While it was certainly conceivable if it didn't work properly, it most certainly would provide him with more time to regroup and work out his pattern of attack. More time to make these vital choices. For some reason, he suddenly became appreciative of those who could fight at a longer range, such as Jiyuu, floating in the air, pacing his fingers back and forth against each other, outpacing Emiya perhaps, but it was for naught, Jiyuu's attack caught Emiya by surprise. And as he stepped forwards, he crumpled the Genjutsu turning his legs to putty.
But he never stopped making seals, as his opponent far above reached for his next attack, Emiya completed his own movements. The air around him began to crystallize, become sharp and opaque with every passing moment, throwing a piece of paper at each of them as he shakily moved upwards. As soon as the motions had ended, Emiya roughly reached into his pocket and withdraw a pair of small pouchs, hurling the item at his foe, thrown so that the pair would meet at the point whence the paper wrapped barrage of Jiyuu's would meet his own.
At the same moment as Jiyuu's Light Grenade and Kunai Bomb would detonate, so too would Emiya's own Exploding Pouches, hurling outwards their deadly cargo. As they where approximately 10 meters away from the boy, he was safely out of range. But the flying paraphernalia would hopefully fail to reach the child. As his ball bearings flew through the air, they would collide with the Kunai, alerting Emiya to their locate, thus allowing the boy to evade them despite the lack of vision. Evasion mostly consisted of rolling on the ground however. But it was what happened next that would be interesting.
Because the second that the various airborne explosives lit up, Emiya also formed a hand seal: that of the tiger. And lit up the three tags he had noticed that had floated out of his pocket. Additionally, due to their proximity to Jiyuu's own Paper Grenades, they would hopefully ignite them, if not, the explosion would be sufficient if it was. Enough to distract the air-borne male from what was happening down below.
For at the same moment that the tags went off, his trio of Crystal Shuriken would launch from their spaces in the air, screaming towards the hovering male at twice the speed of a thrown Kunai, hopefully enough to take him off guard.}
